After a night's rest, Wen Li finally felt a bit better.

It started snowing heavily again outside, and everyone huddled inside the house to warm themselves by the fire.

While she had nothing else to do, Wen Li killed ten chickens, ten ducks, and ten geese in her space, then coated them with cooking wine and seasonings and let them air dry.

Taking advantage of the free time, she made a lot more meat sauce and fruit sauce.

We can't eat fruit openly this season, but fruit jam is an option!

Wen Li didn't want to go through all this trouble, but Niu Zhaodi has a nose like a dog. She ate two peaches a couple of days ago, and Niu Zhaodi smelled them both.

So now she is very careful. Every time she eats fruit, she washes her hands and face thoroughly with soap and rinses her mouth.

With the fruit jam as an excuse, there's no need to worry about Niu Zhaodi's dog-like nose detecting it anymore.

Because she was so busy, Wen Li didn't leave the house for three days. She took the opportunity to make some dried meat and planned to send it to Lu Zechuan and Chen Yan.

She added spiritual spring water to both the dried meat and the meat sauce, saying it was good for the body.

When she went outside, the snow had stopped, but the snow outside was even thicker. When Wen Li walked out, the snow was almost up to her calves.

Taking advantage of the good weather, Zhou Yu arranged for the people from the educated youth compound to shovel snow, especially on the rooftops, as the snow was too thick and could easily cause the roofs to collapse.

Wen Li borrowed a ladder and climbed onto the roof to start clearing the snow.

This busy period lasted all day.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Wen Li delivered several kilograms of mutton and eggs to Er Laizi. Xue Hong's due date was around the Lunar New Year, and since she was leaving before then, she definitely wouldn't be able to deliver anything then. Delivering it to her in advance would put her mind at ease.

Erlaizi was worried that Xue Hong would give birth prematurely, so he hadn't left the house recently.

Wen Li told him not to go out unless necessary before she returned.

She worried that Jiang Chen would take the opportunity to retaliate while she was away.

As long as Erlaizi doesn't leave the house, Jiang Chen can't do anything about him.

Erlaizi now values ​​his life, so while Wenli is still in the village, he went to the commune to prepare all the things he needs for the New Year and for the birth of his child.

Wen Li gave him some milk powder coupons and candy coupons, which he would need when he gave birth.

After arranging things in the village, Wen Li went to the brigade leader to get a letter of introduction.

She planned to go home at the end of December, which would only be half a month of leave. The round trip would take six days, so she could only stay at home for nine days.

When she went to the brigade leader's house, Su Hao and his group of people were there. The educated youth who went to the countryside last year were able to go home to visit their families. Everyone was going home for the New Year!

When Yin Jiao saw Wen Li arrive, she quickly asked her when she was going back.

"What about you at the end of December?"

"Me too! Which day are you planning to buy your train ticket for? Let's go together, it'll be good to look out for each other on the journey!"

"Okay, I'll ask a relative to check on sleeper tickets. What about you?"

"Me too! My dad said he'll ask someone to buy me a sleeper ticket. I'll call him tomorrow to set a time!"

"Okay, let's book it for one day!"

The two agreed on their plan, and left after receiving the letter of introduction.

On the way back, I ran into Xiao Liang and Qi Yang. They were also going home and had come over to get their letters of introduction.

Back at the educated youth compound, Niu Zhaodi looked enviously at the letter of introduction in Wen Li's hand.

"I'm so envious of you guys, you can go home!"

Niu Zhaodi is usually carefree, so it's rare for her to show signs of sadness.

Wen Li just smiled; at this moment, any words of comfort seemed inadequate!

Not only her, but everyone else who couldn't go home was also very disappointed.

Before leaving, Wen Li packed up the urgently needed medicines and left them with Zhou Yu.

The cowshed has everything it needs now, and Wen Li secretly sent some firewood and grain over there as well.

After giving instructions to Xie Chang'an and Zhou Yu, she began preparing to go home.

She appeared calm on the surface, but she was very nervous inside. Although she had been in frequent correspondence with the original owner's parents for more than a year.

But she wasn't the original owner of the body, and she didn't know if the original owner's family and her family in the modern world were the same as she imagined.

With a mix of anxiety and anticipation, the day finally arrived for her to go home.

Su Hao and the others bought train tickets for the same day, and they pooled their money to rent Old Man Li's oxcart so that he could take them to the commune.

Upon arriving at the commune, Qin Hai specially arranged for a car to pick up Wen Li.

Wen Li called Yin Jiao, Su Hao, and Deng Wei to get into the car together.

When they arrived at the train station, Qin Hai and Ye Min were already waiting.

"Uncle Qin, Aunt Ye, why are you here so early?"

Ye Min took out a small package. "I've prepared some of my specialties for your mother, all homemade. Take them back and let her try them!"

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Ye!"

"There are dumplings I made in the lunchbox. Just blanch them in hot water before eating!"

Wen Li was surprised that Ye Min had prepared such a complete package for her.

"Okay, I understand!"

"Let's go, we'll see you onto the train!"

Along the way, Ye Min kept nagging about many things to be careful about, treating Wen Li like a child who knew nothing.

Wen Li listened patiently, occasionally agreeing with her.

Ye Min stopped nagging once they boarded the train.

"Remember to call us once you've bought your train ticket back. I'll have your Uncle Qin pick you up!"

"Okay, I understand. It's cold outside, you should go back inside!"

The two didn't leave until they watched the train drive away, still feeling uneasy.

Su Hao and Deng Wei took a different train, and Yin Jiao's seat was quite far from Wen Li's.

Wen Li put her things away first before going to find Yin Jiao.

"Have you packed everything?"

"I'm all packed. I don't have much stuff. How about you?"

"I'm all packed up, I came to see you!"

Seeing that Yin Jiao was alright, Wen Li returned to her seat, which was a lower bunk, making it easy for her to move around.

There weren't many people in the sleeper compartment, and it wasn't noisy, so Wen Li took out a book and read it to pass the time.

Three days is neither a long nor a short time.

Hearing the location of Haishi Station announced on the radio, Wen Li finally smiled.

Although it was a sleeper berth, the air inside didn't circulate, and there were all sorts of strange smells.

She took advantage of the breaks while using the restroom to go into the space for fresh air several times; otherwise, she really didn't know if she could have lasted this long.

Yin Jiao, carrying her luggage and looking dejected, approached Wen Li.

"We've finally arrived!"

"Have you taken everything? Don't forget anything!"

"I've taken everything. All I want now is to get off the bus and get some fresh air. I feel so awful!"

The two of them got off the train with the crowd. Winter in the south wasn't that cold, but it wasn't much better.

Yin Jiao: "My dad's coming to pick me up in a bit. Do you want me to take you home?"

Wen Li waved her hand, "No need, someone will pick me up, you don't need to worry about me!"

"Okay!" Yin Jiao paused for a moment before saying, "Can I come to visit you?"

"Sure, but I might be a bit busy. Let's arrange a time to go shopping at the Friendship Store together!"

The two had already walked out of the train station as they were talking, and Yin Jiao immediately spotted her parents in the crowd.

She smiled and waved, "My parents are here, I have to go now!"

Okay, bye-bye!
