Chapter 144 Pasture Seeds
Then she thought that it was she who saved Jin Changfeng's life. If it weren't for her, there would no longer be a Jin Changfeng in this world, so the money was not so hot to handle.
If someone wants to repay the favor of saving her life, she just needs to keep the money. Unless it is necessary, she will not use the money. Anyway, the money will not expire, so she can just put it aside and save it.
Afterwards, Wen Xi sat at the desk and wrote a letter to Jin Changfeng. First, she reported her safety, then talked about the daily life in the village, and then asked him to help exchange some ginseng for some from the villagers. She wanted some that were 20 to 30 years old, 40 to 50 years old, and even 100 years old.
As for thousand-year-old ginseng, there shouldn’t be such a magical thing!
Ginseng is very cheap at this time, costing ten, dozens, or even a hundred or eighty yuan, which is very cost-effective. Wenxi wants to exchange more now, as it will definitely be useful in the future.
After writing the letter, Wen Xi went to pack her things. She wanted to put the letter and money in a package and send them to Jin Changfeng together. She didn't dare to put the money in the envelope and send it directly. After all, she put one thousand yuan in it. If it was all lost, she couldn't get it back even if she cried. Although she was rich and this one thousand yuan was a small thing for her, it was the income of an ordinary worker for several years. And it was just income. If she wanted to save so much money, it would take more and longer time.
But Wen Xi didn't have anything to send to Jin Changfeng now, only spicy dried fish and dried fish from rice fields. She decided to buy clothes for Jin Changfeng tomorrow, and then sew the letter and money inside the clothes and send it to Jin Changfeng.
In the evening, Wenxi went to the yard next door and picked edible water spinach and red amaranth. She took out one-third for the three of them to eat in the evening, and then took the rest to Captain Qian's house.
"Xiaoxi, why are you here at this time?" Aunt Meihua asked with a smile when she saw Wenxi coming.
"Aunt Meihua, the vegetables I grew are ready to be eaten. I'll send some to you. Thank you for your care and concern for us for so long." Wen Xi handed over the basket.
"Wow, these vegetables are so well grown and fresh. I'll accept them shamelessly. If you have any problems in the future, just come to me." Aunt Meihua said happily.
The vegetables are growing really well, especially fresh, tender and green, and the red amaranth looks red, and you can tell at a glance that it has been grown with great care.
"Aunt Meihua, is Captain Qian at home?" Wen Xi asked.
Seeing Wenxi take out a paper bag, Aunt Meihua knew that Wenxi had something to give to her husband again, so she quickly led Wenxi into the house, "Old man, old man, Xiaoxi is here to see you."
Aunt Meihua went to the kitchen to clear a basket for Wenxi. Wenxi handed the paper bag to Captain Qian, "Uncle Qian, I came to see you today because I have something to tell you. My classmate who went to the countryside in the Northeast sent me a bag of forage grass seeds. He said that this forage grass is rich in nutrients and can be eaten by pigs, horses, cattle and sheep. It can also be chopped up and fed to chickens, ducks, geese and fish. The yield per mu is 40,000 to 60,000 catties. With this forage grass, we don't have to worry about the pigs and cattle in the team in the future. And we have gone to the commune to handle the transaction procedures. In the future, we can cooperate with the commune's pig farm to increase revenue for the team!"
Captain Qian looked at Wen Xi excitedly, his hands trembling, "Xiao Xi, are you telling the truth?"
Wen Xi smiled brightly, "Uncle Qian, if what I said is true, you can open up an acre of wasteland and plant some crops to find out. You will know the result within a month. If it succeeds, it will be a great thing."
"You're right. We'll know if it works if we try." Captain Qian was very happy. "Xiaoxi, thank you for your wholehearted consideration for the team. I will praise you during the meeting."
"Uncle Qian, we don't know if it will work now. Don't say it out loud, so as not to disappoint everyone. Let's wait until we succeed!" Wen Xi smiled embarrassedly.
If you tell others about something before it is done, others who receive your address will surely think that you are too ambitious. Also, keeping secrets will lead to failure, so it is better not to make it public before it is done.
Wenxi came out of the house, and Aunt Meihua quickly handed the basket to Wenxi, "Xiaoxi, thank you, you have been busy for so long, just take a good rest at home these two days."
"Thank you, Aunt Meihua." Wen Xi took the basket and left.
Chen Dahua's family exchanged houses with Jin Changfeng, so Chen Dahua's family now lives next door to Captain Qian's house. When Wen Xi came out of Captain Qian's house, she ran into Chen Dahua. Chen Dahua stared at the basket in her hand and said, "Xiaoxi, are you here to see Captain Qian?"
Wenxi was afraid that Chen Dahua would wrongly accuse her of bribing Captain Qian, so she smiled and said, "Aunt Dahua, I came to see Aunt Meihua. When I first arrived, I had no vegetables to eat, so I asked Aunt Meihua to exchange them. But Aunt Meihua thought it was not easy for us to have nothing when we first came to the countryside, so she didn't ask for anything. I know it's not easy for anyone at this time, and I don't want to take advantage of Aunt Meihua, so I planted vegetables this year and quickly returned a basket to Aunt Meihua. When I exchanged vegetables with Aunt Dahua, I gave her money and things, so I don't need to return the vegetables to Aunt Dahua, right?"
When Wen Xi was exchanging dishes with Chen Dahahua and Chang Qingqing, he either gave money or gifts, so it made sense for him to order dishes for Aunt Meihua now.
After all, Chen Dahua didn't know whether Wen Xi had exchanged dishes with Aunt Meihua.
When Chen Dahua heard this, she waved her hands hastily, "No, no."
"Then I'll go home and not disturb Aunt Dahua's rest." Wen Xi nodded and walked away with the empty basket.
In the yard, Captain Qian and Aunt Meihua both listened to Wen Xi's words. They looked at each other, their eyes full of admiration for Wen Xi.
This little girl is really smart. She successfully dispelled other people's inquiries with just a few words. Although they were just simple interpersonal interactions, it would have a bad impact if the news was exaggerated and spread out.
Watching Wen Xi go away, Chen Dahua retreated into the room.
When Wen Xi returned home, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue had already come back from picking bamboo shoots. They had also washed and cut the vegetables and were waiting for Wen Xi to start cooking.
Wen Xi went to the kitchen to cook dinner, while Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue watered the vegetables in the yard. Every kind of vegetable was growing very well and should be able to bloom and bear fruit in another month. By then they would have more vegetables than they could eat.
In the past in the city, you had to pay to buy even a leaf of vegetable, so by comparison, life in the countryside was more comfortable.
Of course, this is without having to work in the fields. If Wenxi hadn't helped them apply for permission to cook during the busy farming season, they probably wouldn't be able to endure the hardship.
