Chapter 161: Changing Ginseng
After riding for a while, they arrived at a place far away from the village. He Chenan put his feet on the ground and stopped the bicycle. His long legs held the bicycle and the person firmly there.
"What's wrong?" Wen Xi looked back at He Chenan in confusion.
Wenxi has a pair of very beautiful eyes, with black pupils and thick eyelashes like a small brush, which can make people's hearts flutter.
He Chenan put his arms around Wen Xi's waist, held her tightly in his arms, and looked at her with burning eyes. He really, really liked her.
"Chen An, what's wrong?" Wen Xi, who was hugging He Chen An, patted He Chen An on the back and asked worriedly.
"Xiaoxi, it's great to meet you." He Chenan shook his head and then buried his head deep in Wenxi's neck. A faint fragrance made him feel extremely refreshed in this early summer morning.
Wen Xi chuckled, and then hugged He Chenan's waist like this. She thought it was pretty good.
She has never experienced happiness, so she doesn't know if happiness is like this, but now she really feels very happy and wonderful.
After hugging for a while, He Chenan took a step back and looked at Wen Xi lovingly. Wen Xi felt very embarrassed by his gaze and a blush appeared on her cheeks.
He Chenan felt warm and happy inside. His empty heart was filled from the moment she appeared.
Wen Xi smiled and pushed He Chenan's arm, "Should we set off now? Everyone should get up soon. What if someone goes to town and passes by us and sees us?"
He Chenan hugged Wen Xi, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "Xiao Xi, there is one thing I want to confirm with you, because I don't want any misunderstandings between us."
Wen Xi raised an eyebrow curiously, "What's the matter?"
A trace of discomfort flashed across He Chenan's face. "When we last dated, I remember you bought three sets of men's suits, but you only gave me two. Who did you give the other one to?"
It's not that he doesn't trust her, but he won't feel at ease until he figures this matter out. He really loves her too much, and he's afraid that another man will snatch her away.
In the eyes of others, she might just be a woman, but that was not the case in his heart, because he had long regarded Wen Xi as the most important person in his life, not just an ordinary woman.
That feeling was like spiritual food and spiritual sustenance. Once he lost it, he felt that he might lose the desire and strength to support himself to live.
"My brother is in Northeast China, and I asked him to help me find local villagers to exchange some ginseng for me. But I was afraid that the money would be lost if I sent it directly, so I bought him a set of clothes, sewed a pocket on it, put the money in it and sent it to him," Wen Xi explained.
Although Jin Changfeng is not her biological brother, they have already had a family reunion dinner in front of everyone, so from now on Jin Changfeng is her biological brother.
Moreover, from the very beginning, she did not have any kind of affection for Jin Changfeng in the sense of a man or a woman. All she had was admiration, love, and respect for him, because he was a soldier defending his country, and it was because of them carrying heavy burdens on the front line that everyone could have a stable life.
As for how she and Jin Changfeng became siblings, Wen Xi decided not to tell He Chenan, lest he think too much and think that she and Jin Changfeng had some relationship.
If she liked Jin Changfeng, then she would have accepted it when Jin Changfeng confessed to her. How could He Chenan have a chance?
"So that's how it is." He Chenan laughed happily, as if the dark clouds had dispersed, revealing a clear and transparent sky.
Wen Xi reached out and touched He Chenan's hair. Despite his excellent conditions, he actually felt insecure. She had nothing now, but she was not worried at all. Maybe it was because she was rich and confident!
After a day of dating, He Chenan looked unsatisfied. One day was really not enough. It would be great if they could be together every day.
But it is really hard to find a job in the city. There is almost no vacant position and every position is filled. He asked people for help but there is no good news so far.
If Wen Xi could marry him now, it would be okay even if she didn't have a job. They could buy a house near the hospital and live in it. He had a high salary and could support the family and her expenses. However, she had made it clear before that she would not get married too early, which meant that this path was not feasible and they could only live apart temporarily.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy?" Wen Xi asked with a smile.
"I didn't expect a day would pass so quickly." He Chenan said with an unhappy look on his face. He ate, watched a movie, and walked in the park, and a day passed just like that.
Wen Xi looked at He Chenan with amusement. She felt that today was quite fulfilling.
"How about next time I have a break, I'll switch shifts with my colleague. I'll have two days off and I'll take you to the provincial capital to play. How about that?" He Chenan's eyes suddenly lit up like light bulbs, full of hope.
Wen Xi thought about it, then shook his head, "I'm afraid not. Wheat harvest will be soon. Wheat harvest is very important. I can't rest. After harvesting wheat, I have to plant corn, and then transplant rice seedlings. Soon, I will have to do the double harvest. So I probably won't have this opportunity in the next two or three months."
Although she also wanted to visit the provincial capital, the situation really did not allow it!
Wen Xi took He Chenan's hand and said, "We will definitely have a chance to go to the provincial capital to play."
It was not until after ten o'clock in the evening that the two of them said goodbye to each other reluctantly. This time, He Chenan sent Wen Xi directly to the big jujube tree. He Chenan did not turn around and leave until the darkness completely swallowed Wen Xi's figure.
From then on, whenever He Chenan had a rest time, the two of them would go out on a date.
Time goes by day by day, and soon it is May. Although May 1st was designated as Labor Day decades ago, there is no holiday at this time and everyone goes to work as usual.
On this day, when the postman came to deliver a letter to Wenxi, he also brought a big package. Wenxi quickly handed the letter to the postman and signed for it. When he saw that the address on it was from the Northeast, Wenxi was very happy.
After closing the courtyard door and going to the kitchen, Wen Xi excitedly opened the package with scissors. Jin Changfeng really exchanged ginseng for her. There were four hundred-year-old ginsengs, six fifty-year-old ginsengs, twenty less than fifty years old, and those ranging from ten to forty years old.
Wen Xi had never thought that one thousand yuan could buy so much ginseng. She even wanted Jin Changfeng to help her exchange it again. After all, ginseng is a good thing. Even if she can't use it, it's a good thing to stock up some if she has the conditions.
There is also a large bag of dried mushrooms and wild vegetables in the package...
