The two of them worked together until sunset, and only managed to clear a small portion of the debris.
Qi Jun wiped the sweat from his brow. "Wen, let's call it a day! We can continue tomorrow. There's no rush!"
"Okay, let's go back and cook!"
After the two returned, Wen Li took out flour and kneaded dough. Tonight, she planned to fry a few chive pancakes, make a cucumber salad, and stir-fry some greens. That would solve her dinner problem.
Chen Yan and Qi Jun studied very hard, and Wen Li taught them generously.
"Little Pear, let me try in a bit!" Chen Yan looked at Wen Li with anticipation.
"Sure!" Wen Li agreed immediately when she saw how enthusiastic she was, and she could finally slack off a little.
After kneading the dough, Wenli cracked two eggs into it and chopped some chives, which she then mixed into the dough.
"Qi Zhiqing, simmer!"
"Okay!"
Once the oil in the pan was hot, Wen Li demonstrated first, then instructed Chen Yan from the side. Chen Yan was initially terrified by the hot oil, screaming because either the dough was splattered or the oil was splashing out.
After several attempts, I finally learned it!
"Ah~ Little Pear, I got it, I really got it!" Chen Yan excitedly hugged Wen Li.
Wen Li raised her hand and gave her a thumbs-up, "Great job!"
Looking at the vibrant Chen Yan, Qi Jun couldn't help but smile slightly. Perhaps this decision to go to the countryside was the right one. Away from those troublesome people, Chen Yan had undergone a significant change.
Wen Li then scrambled some cucumber and stir-fried some greens. Chen Yan couldn't wait to try her cooking. Although some of the pancakes were a little burnt, the group still ate with great relish.
After the two men had finished eating, Qi Jun ate all the remaining cakes.
After the three of them finished cleaning up the kitchen, it was already getting late. Wen Li took the hot water that had been left to dry back to her room, locked the door, and went into her spatial dimension.
She circled around the space and, remembering that in the original book, the female protagonist used her mind to plant seeds, Wen Li took out half of the seeds and tried to control the space with her mind. Soon, the seeds wrapped in oil paper were planted according to her thoughts.
Wen Li was so shocked that her mouth dropped open. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would have doubted whether the world was normal!
I took another look at the raspberries I planted last night, and the raspberries that were originally only about 30 centimeters long had grown to almost 20 centimeters, and were covered with bright red berries.
She used her mind directly; without even lifting a finger, all the bright red raspberries went into the basket beside her.
Wen Li picked up the basket and looked at the fruit. It was much bigger than the ones that grew in the mountains. She picked one up and ate it. The sweet and sour taste exploded in her mouth. Wen Li squinted her eyes happily. It tasted like the fruit from her childhood.
Sure enough, anything produced by the space is of the highest quality. She couldn't stop eating once she started, and finally ate a whole plate before letting out a satisfied burp.
The rest were put into a plate, and I planned to take them to Chen Yan and Qi Jun to try tomorrow.
After carefully storing the raspberries, she walked into the courtyard and habitually looked at the jade plate in the center, only to find that the spiritual spring water inside seemed a bit off.
Wen Li strode over and saw that the already low amount of spiritual spring water had risen slightly.
This is the first time the spiritual spring water has changed in several days. Could it be related to the seeds she just planted?
Wen Li hurriedly ran out of the yard and planted some more vegetable seeds. When she came back, she was disappointed to find that the spiritual spring water had not changed at all.
Wen Li was not discouraged. Since the spiritual spring water could still rise, there was no need to worry about running out. She would eventually find the pattern.
The next day, the new educated youth weeded as usual, and Wen Li still received four work points. She was not short of money and did not rely on work points to make a living; four work points were just enough for her.
When others saw that this was a possible method, they all followed suit.
The brigade leader turned a blind eye to this. The conditions of this group of new educated youth were all good. Even if they didn't earn work points, they wouldn't go hungry. As long as they behaved themselves and didn't cause him any trouble, that was fine!
It's not the busy farming season now, so there's not much work to do. If they do less, the villagers can earn more work points.
"Wen, the educated youth, let me help you!"
While Wen Li was diligently weeding, a man suddenly appeared behind her. Before she could even speak, he snatched the sickle from her hand and began helping her with the work.
"What are you doing?" Wen Li's eyes turned cold as she looked at the man who had suddenly appeared.
This person looked to be in his thirties, dressed in a slovenly manner, and was as thin as a stick. It wasn't that Wen Li looked down on people; everyone was poor these days, but at least one should be hygienic!
The oil on this person's head was so thick it could be used to fry vegetables, and the stench emanating from him made Wen Li unconsciously take two steps back.
Zhang Mazi smiled憨厚ly at Wen Li, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
"Wen, don't be nervous. I saw you were working hard, so I came to help you. How could such a delicate young girl like you do such rough work?"
Wen Li quickly realized the man's intentions. With the strict enforcement of moral standards, if she accepted his help, rumors would spread in the village, leaving her with no choice but to marry him!
Wen Li's tone was icy, her eyes devoid of any warmth. "Get out! I don't need your help!"
Zhang Mazi tried to pull Wen Li away, saying, "Hey! Don't worry, I don't mean any harm, I just want to help you!"
"boom--"
"Ugh! Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"
Just as Wen Li was about to make her move, a clump of grass covered in mud flew from behind her and hit Zhang Mazi squarely in the face. Since his mouth was open, the mud smeared all over his mouth.
Wen Li turned her head and saw Chen Yan staring at her hand in surprise. She seemed surprised that she had thrown it so accurately!
"Haha, I'm so awesome!"
Wen Li felt a warmth in her heart, and the expression on her face relaxed a little.
Qi Jun strode forward and stood in front of Wen Li.
"You bitch, you dare to smash my things?" Zhang Mazi stared at Chen Yan with a gloomy expression.
Qi Jun gripped his sickle tightly, his face cold as he looked at Zhang Mazi. "Zhang Mazi, what do you want to do?"
Zhang Mazi was a bully only within his own ranks, and when he saw Qi Jun holding a sickle, he unconsciously took two steps back.
"Haha, it's a misunderstanding! I just wanted to help Wen, the educated youth!"
When Wen Li heard the name Zhang Mazi, she subconsciously thought of the female lead. Zhang Mazi was an old bachelor in the village. He was his only son, and his parents raised him to be lazy, greedy, and prone to petty theft.
His mother was a shrew and unreasonable person, and Zhang Mazi himself was also unambitious, which resulted in him being over thirty years old and still not being able to get married.
Later, he was manipulated by the female lead and did a lot of things that harmed others and himself. I don't know if today's incident has anything to do with the female lead!
"I don't need your help, get lost!"
A ruthless glint flashed in Zhang Mazi's eyes. Seeing Qi Jun standing there with a fierce expression, he could only wait for another opportunity.
"Alright, Wen, we're all from the same village, so don't be shy. If you need any help, remember to come find me!"
