Chapter 67 Catching Fish
Song Lan whispered, "How about the three of us pooling our money to buy an old hen from a villager tomorrow? I really want to try the delicious pig stomach chicken. After Wen Xi's cooking, I feel that this pig stomach chicken must be very delicious."
He couldn't help drooling just talking about it, even though he had just eaten a table full of delicious food.
Tian Shengnan also nodded in agreement, "Okay, then you go to the villagers' house to exchange for old hens. It will be more convenient for you men, and I will pay for it when the time comes."
Wenxi’s cooking skills are really good. She is willing to cooperate with everyone to have a good meal. It is more expensive to eat in a state-owned restaurant, and you need food coupons and meat coupons.
They had been to a state-owned restaurant before, and the chef's skills at the state-owned restaurant were not as good as Wenxi's! Since Wenxi had mentioned this matter, it meant that she was not disgusted by it.
In other words, they are sure to have pork tripe and chicken tomorrow.
After Wenxi and the other two took turns washing up, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Wen Xi opened the things that Yan's mother brought her, and unexpectedly there was a can of malted milk, a can of canned yellow peaches, a bag of White Rabbit milk candy, and a bag of brown sugar inside.
Aunt Yan probably knew that it was difficult for her to buy these things in the countryside, so she gave them to her. Wen Xi decided to bring some good things to the Yan family when she went there in a few days, otherwise she would feel guilty about accepting other people's things.
Wen Xi took out the things that Yan's mother gave her, and after freeing up the bag, she put in her return gifts to the Yan family: a pound of bacon, twenty eggs, five striped fish, a can of rapeseed oil in an empty can, and a bag of lemon tea bags.
These things are no worse than those prepared by Yan's mother for her. With these things as return gifts, Wen Xi will not owe them anything and will not have to worry about this matter anymore.
After packing up his things and signing in, Wen Xi lay down to rest.
Lin Chuyang just sprained his leg, no fracture, and was not seriously injured. When he returned home, his family was very happy.
Because Lin Yiwan had traveled through time many years ago and brought the Lin cousins to make money, the several branches of the Lin family had saved a lot of money and had already separated and built big houses. However, they did not build a big house for every child because that would be too conspicuous and everyone might treat their family like landlords.
Moreover, the Lin family gradually sent their children to the city, so there was no need to build houses for them in the village, which would be too conspicuous.
Once they have established themselves in the city, they can arrange to buy a house there. The family has the money to buy a house, but they just have to wait for the right time.
After all, it is not easy to find a house close to the factory, so you can first live in the multi-person dormitory provided by the factory, get to know the situation while working, and when you find out who wants to sell a house, you can go and accept it directly.
As for the village, we will wait until the time is ripe in the future to apply for homestead land to build houses. After all, people need to return to their roots. When they are young, they work and earn money in the city, and when they are old, they return to the village to retire.
And because the Lin family is wealthy, they do not have such strict requirements for their children. Each child only has to hand over ten yuan to their parents every month, and the rest, whether it is a few hundred or a few thousand, is kept by themselves. Therefore, the children of the Lin family basically have no shortage of money.
Lin Chuyang also has a lot of money now.
At night, after everyone in the family had gone to bed, Lin Chuyang quietly went out, seemingly aimlessly, but in fact he went straight to the house next to Zhao Zhiping's.
Arriving outside the gate of Wenxi's courtyard, Lin Chuyang looked at the tightly closed gate, reluctant to look away.
He had already heard about the Wen family's requirements for marrying off their daughter. Money was not a problem, and dividing the family before marriage was not a problem either.
Because the Lin family is rich, they are very open-minded. They are not like other families who insist on keeping their children under control. That's because they don't have money and are afraid that the children will ignore them, so they want to keep the children in their own hands, for fear that the children will grow up and fly away, and no one will take care of them.
But the Lin family is different. In the past few years, almost everyone in the Lin family has money. They don’t want to control their children, and the children can freely choose the life they want.
So if he wants to be with Wenxi, there is almost no obstacle. It mainly depends on whether Wenxi can accept him.
Lin Chuyang leaned against the wall of the house in front of Wenxi's house, looking at Wenxi's house in the moonlight, refusing to take his eyes off them for a long time, until the clock struck whirlwind, then he turned around and left.
The next morning, Wenxi and her friends had just finished their hot breakfast and cleaned up the kitchen when they heard a knock on the door. Wenxi curiously went to open the door.
Seeing that it was Song Lan, Zhou Bai and Tian Shengnan, he was very surprised. He didn't expect them to come so early. Wen Xi hurriedly invited them in. If the villagers saw them, they might think they were plotting something!
"Why did you come so early?" Wen Xi used a bowl to make peach oolong tea for them. Although she had signed out five flavors, Wen Xi wanted to finish one flavor before moving on to the next because she didn't want to make a mess.
"We have already replaced the old hens this morning." Song Lan looked greedy, "Wenxi, I will trouble you again tonight."
"It's no trouble at all. If you weren't here, I would only be able to drink pig stomach soup. The pig stomach chicken must taste much better than pig stomach soup!" Wen Xi said with a smile.
"Wenxi, let's go to the rice fields to catch some fish!" Tian Shengnan said, "I have everything ready, even my boots!"
Wen Xi was stunned. She didn't expect that Tian Shengnan would actually go to the rice fields to catch fish. Although there were fish in the rice fields, it was summer. Wen Xi was not sure whether there were fish in winter.
"Okay, let's go fishing together later. I happened to bring some boots with me." Wen Xi said with a smile, "Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, you don't have to go. Take care of the old hens at home and lock the gate. Don't open the door if someone you don't know knocks."
Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue nodded, "Xiaoxi, we are not children anymore. We know how to protect ourselves."
Wen Xi obviously didn't believe it. If they could really protect themselves, their previous lives wouldn't have been so miserable. One of them wouldn't have been cheated of her body by Lu Xiaoyun, and the other wouldn't have been married off by Qian Liang without spending a penny on the betrothal gift, and wouldn't have been treated like a workhorse by the Qian family.
Now it seems that the crisis has been resolved, but there are other people in the village. Qian Liang is not the only second-rate guy, there is also the old widower and other scumbags!
After drinking tea, Wen Xi, Tian Shengnan, Song Lan and Zhou Bai went to the rice fields in the village together, leaving Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue at home to take care of the old hens and prepare the ingredients needed for lunch and dinner.
