Chapter 168 Lin Yiwan's Brother
She didn't give Donghua anything because she knew that no matter what Donghua brought back, she couldn't keep it, and her clothes were so tattered that she couldn't hide anything.
After Wenxi came down the mountain, he went directly to the brigade headquarters to find Captain Qian. Captain Qian was there, so Wenxi said straight to the point, "Uncle Qian, I have been feeling a little unwell these past two days. I want to go to the county hospital for a check-up. Can you please give me a letter of introduction?"
When Captain Qian heard this, he showed worry on his face, "Where do you feel uncomfortable? Is it serious?"
Wenxi is a good young person who has made outstanding contributions to the Harvest Brigade. Captain Qian doesn't want anything to happen to her.
Wen Xi shook her head. "It's not serious, but I'm worried that it will affect my cooking for everyone during the wheat harvest, so I want to go to the hospital for a checkup and ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine for me."
"Okay, I'll write you a letter of introduction right away." Captain Qian picked up the pen and started writing.
Wen Xi hurriedly reminded, "Captain Qian, I haven't asked Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue who is willing to go with me, so please trouble Captain Qian..."
Captain Qian nodded in understanding, and quickly handed the letter of introduction to Wenxi. Wenxi took a look and saw that it was indeed a letter of introduction for two people, except that the other person's name was left blank, allowing Wenxi to fill it in himself when the time comes. This was pretty good.
When Wenxi was about to turn around and leave, Captain Qian stood up and said, "Xiaoxi."
"Uncle Qian, is there anything I can help you with?" Wen Xi asked in confusion.
"Come with me." Captain Qian then walked outside. Wen Xi followed him in confusion. After walking for a while, they finally reached the team's newly reclaimed land. Captain Qian pointed at the lush corn seedlings and said, "Xiao Xi, these are the seeds of the forage grass you provided. How come they are corn?"
Wen Xi was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that this corn grass is really similar to corn. If you don't look carefully, you can easily mistake it for corn. "Uncle Qian, this is actually corn grass, a kind of forage grass, but it is different from corn. Uncle Qian, count how many plants can be divided into one corn grass, and how many plants can be divided into this corn grass?"
Captain Qian counted them carefully and felt like his breathing was about to stop. One corn plant was just one plant, but one corn grass could be divided into dozens of plants. This was the difference between the two.
Moreover, when it was first planted, the seeds of the corn grass looked like small stones, which were really different from corn kernels!
"Uncle Qian, this corn grass can be harvested as soon as it is half a meter high, and it can be harvested after twenty days. With proper management, each acre can produce more than 30,000 kilograms of green grass. But I would like to trouble Uncle Qian to save some for seeds. After all, I may not be able to contact that person again. In order not to affect the planting of forage grass, it is better to save the seeds for myself."
Captain Qian was extremely shocked. The yield of this forage grass was as high as 60,000 catties per mu. They planted two mu, which yielded 120,000 catties, enough to feed the team's cows and pigs, so that everyone could have more meat to eat at the end of the year.
"Xiaoxi, thank you for your contribution to the team." Captain Qian said gratefully. There are not many people as selfless as Wenxi.
Wen Xi smiled and said, "Uncle Qian, you are being too polite. I am also a member of the team. Isn't it my duty to work for the team?"
After checking the pasture, Wenxi went home. Now with the system kitchen, Wenxi seldom cooked outside. Every day at a certain time, she would boil hot water and let smoke come out of the chimney, and then when the bell rang, she would bring out the meals from the system kitchen.
So when she was free, she would go into the system kitchen, prepare the meals, and then put them on the kitchen sink. They would be the same as they were when she put them on the sink, and even the temperature would not change.
After eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Yiwan arrived as promised, and Wen Xi was already dressed and waiting for Lin Yiwan with his equipment. As soon as Lin Yiwan arrived, Wen Xi hurriedly picked up his things and went out with her.
Although Wen Xi didn't know why Lin Yiwan brought her out at night, she didn't ask too many questions. Instead, she held up a flashlight and followed Lin Yiwan to the rice field.
At this time, the seedlings in the rice fields are lush and growing very well.
Coming to the edge of the rice field, Lin Yiwan shone a flashlight into the water in the rice field and saw a yellow eel lying there. Lin Yiwan directly grabbed the yellow eel with pliers and then threw it into a wooden barrel. The yellow eel struggled in the barrel, making "bang bang bang" sounds.
"My brother and I used to like to go out and catch eels and loaches to eat on summer nights, because eels and loaches come out to look for food at night and are easier to catch," Lin Yiwan said with a smile.
Lin Yiwan's parents had four children in total, three older brothers, and only one daughter, Lin Yiwan. So they spoiled her as much as they could!
Even if Lin Yiwan had not traveled through time before, the Lin family treated little Lin Yiwan very well, and she was the envy of other girls of the same age in the village.
Later, after Lin Yiwan came, through her efforts, the eldest brother joined the army, the second brother went to work in a factory in the city, and the third brother and Lin Yiwan stayed at home. After all, the family couldn't leave neither child behind.
Then there are Lin Yiwan’s cousins. Although they are not the closest to Lin Yiwan, they all have jobs in the city with the help of Lin Yiwan. Only those who are completely unable to adapt to city life live in the team.
Wenxi seldom sees Lin Yiwan's brothers because she doesn't go to work. During the busy farming season, everyone eats in the cafeteria. She did see them, but everyone was very busy, and Lin Yiwan didn't introduce them specifically, so she didn't know Lin Yiwan's brothers. After all, she lived in a youth cadre site in her previous life, and actually had little communication with Lin Yiwan.
Wen Xi actually envies Lin Yiwan very much. The family has a very good relationship. Only when the family works together can the family get better and better.
Although Wenxi had used fish anesthetics to catch a lot of eels in the distant rice fields before everyone started spring planting, she nodded in cooperation when Lin Yiwan explained it to her seriously, and said, "It turns out that eels are so easy to catch at night, Yiwan, thank you for telling me this, otherwise I wouldn't know it!"
There are not only eels and loaches in the rice fields, but also various small fish lying in the mud. However, Wenxi is too lazy to catch these small fish because they are too small, not even as big as half of her little finger.
When there was no meat to eat during the busy farming season, she would ask the children around ten years old to help her catch fish. She didn't have the free time to do that anyway.
Watching Lin Yiwan pick up a big, red crayfish from the rice field, Wen Xi was a little surprised, because she didn't expect that crayfish, which had established a foothold in more than a dozen provinces (cities) and regions ten years later, would be so easy to catch.
