Chapter 13 Assigning tasks
"Sister, just take it! I just came to the Harvest Team and I don't know anything. I will have to trouble you to teach me in the future. If you don't accept it, I will be embarrassed to come to your house!" Wen Xi wrapped the fruit candy and stuffed it directly into Chang Qingqing's pocket.
Chang Qingqing smiled cheerfully, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go pick some vegetables for you!"
Then Chang Qingqing turned back to the house, took out a basket, walked into the vegetable garden and started picking vegetables. She picked a handful of each kind for Wenxi and filled the basket up.
"Xiaoxi, take these vegetables back and eat them first. Come back to me when you're done. We have more vegetables planted in our private plots, so there's more than enough for us to eat." Chang Qingqing handed the basket of vegetables to Wenxi and said with a smile.
"Sister, thank you. I will go back first. When we are settled, please come over for the warm-house meal. You must come then!" After thanking Chang Qingqing, Wen Xi went back with a basket of vegetables.
As soon as they entered the kitchen, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were shocked. Shen Jiaojiao asked excitedly, "Xiaoxi, where did you get so many dishes?"
"I traded it with the sister next door for fruit candy." Wen Xi said with a smile.
Jiang Yue was full of admiration. "Xiaoxi, you are really amazing. You are better at socializing than us. Then we will listen to you. If there is anything in the future, you must tell us to do it. Otherwise, it will be unfair to you. The three of us are together, and we can't let you pay too much alone."
Wen Xi smiled and nodded, "Got it, don't worry, I won't let you guys idle."
There are three people living together. If she takes care of everything, won't she be exhausted to death?
She just wanted to protect Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue, but she didn't want to support them. She was not a nanny.
Wenxi took out all the vegetables in the basket and placed them on the floor in the corner of the kitchen. Then he took a handful of wintergreens, leeks, yellow cabbage, and garlic leaves, and three heads of yellow cabbage and put them in the wooden basin. He said, "Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, now I'll trouble you to wash these vegetables. I'll take the basket to my sister next door."
The two houses were separated by an alley only one or two meters wide, and they could be reached in a few steps. When Wen Xi came back after delivering the basket, Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue were washing vegetables by the well!
Wen Xi first went to take a look at Jin Changfeng, and seeing that he had moved to the second door, she came to the kitchen and began to prepare food. She first washed and cut the half pound of bacon she brought from home, and put it on a plate for later use. Jin Changfeng had helped them so much, they couldn't just let him eat vegetables. Vegetables were available in every household and were not something rare.
It would be too insincere to entertain people with such things.
Afterwards, Wen Xi beat a few more eggs and stirred them into a golden and even egg liquid. After Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yuejiang washed the vegetables and brought them in, Wen Xi asked someone to light the fire while she started cooking.
Wenxi cooked a dish of stir-fried bacon with garlic leaves, scrambled eggs with leeks, stir-fried yellow heart cabbage, and finally made a soup with winter melon.
The temperature is low now, and the dishes will get cold after a while after being cooked, so Wen Xi asked Jin Changfeng to come over for dinner first, and then change the other door locks after dinner.
Jin Changfeng went to the well to wash his hands, then came to the kitchen. When he saw the delicious food on the table, his eyes flashed slightly.
Wen Xi said embarrassedly, "I don't know if the food suits Comrade Jin's appetite, so just eat it like this for now. If you think it's not tasty, I'll invite Comrade Jin to eat at the state-owned restaurant next time."
People who are not from the same place definitely have different appetites. Wen Xi doesn't know whether the food she cooks will suit Jin Changfeng's taste, because she cooks according to her own taste.
Jin Changfeng picked up the sweet potato rice in front of him and started eating. Then he picked up a piece of fried leek and eggs with chopsticks. The fragrance of leek mixed with the fresh fragrance of eggs. Jin Changfeng felt that this was the most delicious meal he had ever eaten.
Seeing Wen Xi looking at him expectantly, Jin Changfeng said with a smile, "It's delicious."
"That's good." Wen Xi's heart was finally at ease. Since Jin Changfeng was satisfied, she didn't have to invite him to dinner at the state-owned restaurant.
Although she brought a lot of money with her, she didn't have a job and didn't have the golden finger like the heroine, so she naturally tried to save as much as possible and spend every penny wisely.
The four of them ate up all the food immediately. Wenxi used oil when cooking, and the oil could not be washed off with cold water, so they had to boil hot water to wash the pots and dishes.
After Jin Changfeng finished his meal, he went on to change the door lock.
"Jiaojiao, Xiaoyue, the three of us are about to officially start our rural life. Although we don't know how many years we will live here, there are some things we need to discuss in advance to avoid unnecessary conflicts. I have prepared small pieces of paper. Let's draw lots! To be fair, we will draw lots once a month from now on." Wen Xi put three small pieces of paper in a bowl and called Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue to come and draw lots.
Now, there are only three of them relying on each other. Wen Xi doesn't want them to have unnecessary conflicts in daily trivial matters. In order to avoid being cannon fodder, the three of them can only stick together for warmth and help each other.
After Shen Jiaojiao and Jiang Yue took the notes, Wen Xi took the remaining note. When he opened it, he found that it was about cooking.
Shen Jiaojiao is washing dishes.
Jiang Yue is cleaning.
Everyone washes their own clothes and cleans their own rooms, so Jiang Yue only needs to clean the public areas.
With this distribution, there won’t be too much work and they won’t be so tired.
"Xiaoxi, the door locks have been changed, so I'll go back first."
It was getting dark, and it was not good for him to stay here all the time. If others saw him, they would accuse him of having a relationship with any of them, which would affect their reputation.
Before he successfully dated Wen Xi, he would never let anyone wrongly accuse her.
As the two people walked out side by side, no one spoke, and they just walked quietly towards the gate of the courtyard.
Jin Changfeng turned his head to glance at the thin, pitiful figure beside him and felt a very comfortable atmosphere. It also made him feel that they were particularly suitable for each other. There was no one in the world more suitable than them.
"Comrade Jin, thank you." Wen Xi sent Jin Changfeng out of the courtyard gate and said gratefully.
There are really a lot of good people at this time. In just two days, Jin Changfeng has provided them with so much help.
Jin Changfeng stopped, turned around, and faced Wenxi. He looked at Wenxi with moving eyes and said in a gentle tone, "Xiaoxi, if you have any problems, you can come to me at any time. If it is not convenient for you to come to me, you can ask the children in the village to come to me."
