Chapter 169 Daily Life
Wen Xin returned to the house and couldn't wait to open the letter. It read,
Dear heart, I see the words as the face. I have reached the army safely and settled into my accommodation. Please don't worry and take care of yourself. Recently I will be busy applying for a job, but you can write to me at any time and I will reply carefully. Even though I'm not here, you still have to eat on time and remember to drink plenty of water. I miss you so much and I feel so uncomfortable without you around. I look forward to the days when we can always be together.
Looking forward to your reply, your Aye.
After reading the letter back and forth several times, Wen Xin finally put it down.
Pick up the pen and start writing a reply.
I thought I had nothing to say, but I really have a lot to say in this article.
I wrote eloquently for a page and a half before ending.
I happen to be able to go to town tomorrow and send letters.
The next day, Wen Xin got up early to wash up and tidy up.
Since they were all on holiday today, the four people in the backyard planned to go to town, so they went there on bicycles. Four people are just right.
After taking the things out, Zhang Yingying was already waiting outside. When she saw her, she said happily, "Xinxin, I'm ready."
Wen Xin looked at her with a smile, "I'm ready too."
Afterwards, Wen Xin and Zhao Wanqing each rode one car, carrying Zhang Yingying and Wang Yumei.
At the halfway point, they switch rides so they can feel more relaxed.
After arriving at the place, lock the car first.
Wen Xin wanted to send the letter first, and the other three people were waiting for her outside.
After sending the letter, they went to the supply and marketing cooperative and the department store together.
When I went to the supply and marketing cooperative, I happened to encounter a defective product.
Several people looked at each other and decided to rush.
After finally squeezing forward, Wen Xin bought an enamel cup and camel-colored cloth.
Zhao Wanqing bought two enamel cups and linen.
Both Zhang Yingying and Wang Yumei bought two pairs of shoes and two pairs of gloves.
They squeezed out from the crowd and went to buy candies and pastries.
Zhang Yingying and Wang Yumei also bought oil, soy sauce, vinegar, salt and other things.
After shopping here, I went to the department store. In the department store, Wen Xin bought a coat. Others bought some toilet paper.
After shopping, they went to buy meat again. Because they went there quite early, they bought a piece of fat and thin meat and a few bones to make soup when they went back.
Originally, Zhang Yingying and Wang Yumei wanted to buy white flour and noodles, but the supply and marketing cooperative no longer had them.
They originally wanted to risk going to the black market, but Wen Xin stopped them and said, "If you can trust me, I will find someone to buy it for you. I have often bought it from him before to ensure safety."
Both Zhang Yingying and Wang Yumei readily agreed, "Xinxin, I'll give you the money, but be careful."
Wen Xin took it and said, "Okay, don't worry. You go to the state-owned hotel and wait for me."
After they left, Wen Xin found a corner and secretly took something out of the space.
He went to the agreed place again, put down the goods wanted by Brother Zhang, the boss of the black market, and waited for them to arrive.
The transaction between them has been once a month, and the transaction location has been changed to this empty house.
After arriving, Brother Zhang didn't talk nonsense and asked someone to inspect the goods. He gave the money to Wen Xin.
Both parties confirmed that everything was correct, and Wen Xin left first.
After coming out, Wen Xin found a corner to enter the space again, put the money away, changed her clothes, and then came out with a backpack on her back.
When she arrived at the state-owned hotel, Zhang Yingying was visibly relieved when she saw someone coming.
Wang Yumei also helped Wen Xin put down the backpack and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
Wen Xin waved her hand and said, "It's okay. I'll give it to you when I get back. It's not convenient here."
Both of them agreed.
Just in time, the food was served, and the few of them immersed themselves in eating.
Feeling full, Zhang Yingying drank the noodle soup and said, "This is happiness."
Zhao Wanqing looked at her and suggested, "Should we buy some food and go back to eat."
Wen Xin looked at today's menu and said, "I think it's okay. There are meat buns today."
After that, several people bought four large meat buns and put them in their lunch boxes, and the waiter gave them a blank look.
But the four of them didn't care, so they bought whatever they needed to.
In fact, it was mainly because the waiter was thinking that he could take the remaining buns back with him, but he didn't expect that these people had finished buying them.
After grabbing everything, they rode their bicycles back to the village.
Maybe it was just the right time, so they didn't meet anyone on the way back.
After arriving at the educated youth center, Wen Xin put the things she bought in Zhang Yingying and Wang Yumei's room before going back safely.
After everyone packed up, they changed into clothes that were not easily stained and went to the vegetable patch.
They plan to rearrange the place and weeds and other things need to be removed.
After finishing her work, Wen Xin suggested, "Would you like to go fishing? I kind of want to eat pickled fish."
"Okay, go." Zhang Yingying was the first to respond.
Zhao Wanqing and Wang Yumei also agreed.
Several people took buckets and went to the river.
Put the bait on and wait for the fish to take the bait.
The children playing next to them looked at their posture and hoped to catch a big fish. They had never seen it before and were very curious.
"Sister, can we take a look at the fish you caught?" Mu Mu said.
Zhao Wanqing pinched his face and said, "Okay, I will show it to you as soon as I catch it."
With these words, the four children stayed behind the four of them and cheered them on.
However, the bait was not strong, and no one's fishing rod made any movement.
Just when Wen Xin was tired, Zhang Yingying's fishing rod moved.
"There's fish. There's fish." Zhang Yingying hurriedly reeled in the line and pulled the fishing rod. Zhao Wanqing next to her also helped.
In the end, the two of them worked together to pull the fish up. It was a grass carp weighing five kilograms.
Several children cheered when they saw the big fish.
Wen Xin was just happy when she felt the fishing rod in her hand also moved.
He quickly reeled in the line and pulled the pole, shouting "Quick, help me, I can't pull it by myself."
Wang Yumei hurried over to help and pulled up a big fish weighing seven kilograms.
Put the fish into the bucket you brought, and it will be full.
The children gathered in front of the two buckets, chattering while watching.
Zhao Wanqing and Wang Yumei also hurriedly prepared it, maybe the fish will come soon.
They fished for an hour and finally harvested three big fish and several small fish.
Because the children had been waiting with them for a long time, Wenxin and the others gave each child three small fishes.
They returned home with today's big harvest.
Wen Xin said excitedly, "Tonight, I will make pickled fish for you to eat."
Zhang Yingying nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll make some green vegetables."
Wang Yumei looked at the bucket and said, "Let's raise the remaining two big fish first."
Zhao Wanqing nodded, "Okay. I'll fry the remaining fish. The fried dried fish is the best."
As they talked, everyone became more and more excited, and their stomachs began to growl.
After returning, Wang Yumei found a rarely used large basin and put the fish in it.
