Xia Xiaoyue did not notice that her upper and lower lips had turned black. Instead, she said happily: "It's delicious. The roasted corn is really delicious."

Li You smiled and said, "Then do you want to cook another one?"

Xia Xiaoyue said: "Is there any more? Then burn another one. I will burn it."

Li You nodded, "Okay. Then I'll go in and get it for you."

"Okay, thank you boss!"

Li You told Xia Xiaoyue not to be polite, then walked into the kitchen and took out four corn cobs from the storage cabinet.

Let’s cook four more, and eat two more per person.

He walked out of the store with four corn cobs and came to the temporary stove.

Xia Xiaoyue has already finished eating the corn in her hand.

Li You pointed at his lips.

Xia Xiaoyue quickly understood Li You's intention, but she didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, she smiled and said, "Eating roasted corn will make your lips black. I'll wash them. Boss, your lips are black."

It’s also black.”

Li You smiled and said: "I'll go wash it too."

Li You has also finished eating the corn.

The two walked to the faucet together. Li You motioned to Xia Xiaoyue to wash first.

"Thank you boss!"

Xia Xiaoyue turned on the faucet and quickly washed her lips very clean. Even without lipstick, her red lips were attractive.

Beautiful people even have beautiful lips.

Seeing Li You staring at her lips, Xia Xiaoyue finally felt a little embarrassed. Her pretty face turned slightly red, she bit her red lips lightly and said, "Boss, why don't you wash up quickly."

Li You laughed and then washed his lips clean.

The two people returned to the temporary stove.

Continue to burn corn.

Xia Xiaoyue started to work, peeling off the buds from the four corns, cleaning the corn silks, and burying them into the charcoal fire with tongs.

Li You smiled and said: "You are very skilled in using fire tongs."

Xia Xiaoyue said: "That's right. When I was a child in the countryside, I helped my grandparents burn fires."

Li You gave a thumbs up, "Good boy!"

Xia Xiaoyue said proudly: "That's right."

Then, start adding firewood to the stove.

"By the way, where is your hometown?" Li You asked.

"Shuanglong Village, Qingmu Town. Does the boss know?" Xia Xiaoyue said.

"Qingmu Town knows, Shuanglong Village doesn't know." Li You said.

Qingmu Town is also a town under the jurisdiction of Changxi County, but it is not in the same direction as Wenxian Town. So it is a bit far from here to Qingmu Town, and it takes about three hours to drive.

As for the villages under the jurisdiction of Qingmu Town, Li You didn't know.

Shuanglong Village, this name is quite good.

Xia Xiaoyue said: "The boss has never been there, so I don't know how normal it is. If the boss is willing, you can go and have a play."

Li You said: "Okay. When will you go back to your hometown?"

Xia Xiaoyue said: "After staying here for two days, go back. Go back and stay for a few days, maybe ten days."

Li You said: "Then after you go back this time, I will visit your village one day."

"Really? Boss." Xia Xiaoyue was very happy.

Li You said: "It must be true!"

"Then it's settled, no regrets."

"Okay, no regrets."

"Pull the hook."

As she spoke, Xia Xiaoyue stretched out her right hand, straightening her little finger and bending the other four fingers.

Li You smiled, Xia Xiaoyue is already such a big girl, how come she still acts like a child?

Lagou is something only children can do.

However, since I have extended my hand, let’s do something that only a child would do.

So, Li You also stretched out his right hand, and hooked his little finger with Xia Xiaoyue's.

Very soft.

After that, the two people turned their thumbs up at the same time, and then stuck them together.

In this way, the action of pulling the hook is completed.

Of course, if you are a child, you have to say something at this time, which is "Hang yourself with a hook and you won't be able to change for a hundred years."

This is a folk proverb.

But Li You and Xia Xiaoyue are both adults, so I won’t say this anymore.

Otherwise, it would seem too childish.

As for this folk proverb, why do you hang yourself after pulling a hook?

That's because "hanging" here doesn't mean hanging yourself. It means the ancient action of threading copper coins.

Diao, in ancient times, was a coin unit. Threading a thousand copper coins together made one diao coin.

After the action of pulling the hook is completed, the little fingers of the two people are hooked together, and their thumbs are stuck together. It looks like a hanging copper coin.

Thread the copper coins together to form a hanging coin, so that the coins will not fall off easily.

Therefore, using the process of "hanging oneself" means that the agreement between two people will not change.

After pulling the hook, Xia Xiaoyue continued to add firewood to the stove.

Soon after, all four corns were cooked.

If two people start eating, each person will eat two. They still have to chew.

After eating slowly, my lips naturally turned black again.

The two of them went to the faucet to wash themselves off.

"Do you want to eat more?" Li You asked.

Xia Xiaoyue shook her head, "I won't eat anymore, I'm already a little full."

Li You nodded and said, "Would you like to go up and rest for a while?"

Xia Xiaoyue and Mu Qingye shared a room above. Therefore, Xia Xiaoyue could rest in her own room.

Xia Xiaoyue shook her head, "No, I'm not tired. I've been to a few gardens, but I haven't been there for a long time. Are there any new fruit trees added to the orchard?"

"Yes." Li You nodded, "Go and have a look. Can you recognize those newly planted fruit trees?"

"Okay!" Xia Xiaoyue was very interested. Then she walked to Baiguoyuan.

Li You lay on the rocking chair and continued to rest.

I’ve eaten the roasted corn, and I’m satisfied. It’s time to have a good lie down.

Watch videos for a while.

Half an hour later, Xia Xiayue came out of the fruit orchard and said, "I found three kinds of fruit trees that should not have existed before, but I can't recognize any of them."

Li You smiled and said: "Those should be mangosteen, watermelon, and rambutan."

These three types?

Xia Xiaoyue said: "Then I know which kind is watermelon. But, boss, isn't it the time when watermelons are ripe in large quantities? Why are your watermelons still young vines?"

Li You said: "Watermelon grows very quickly. Even though it is still a young vine now, it will bloom and bear fruit in a short time. It can also mature before the weather turns cold."

"Is that so?" Xia Xiaoyue nodded, "Okay."

Then, he said with great joy: "I didn't expect that the other two species are mangosteen and rambutan. This is the first time I have seen their trees. I just don't know if they can be successfully planted in places like ours."

Li You said: "I don't know. Just give it a try, just for fun."

Xia Xiaoyue nodded, "I hope it will work, especially the mangosteen. The mangosteen is delicious and I like to eat it very much."

Li You smiled and said: "I also hope to succeed."

After that, Xia Xiayue walked to the edge of the vegetable garden again and said, "Boss, the vegetable garden has had a great harvest! Many vegetables are ripe and ready to be eaten."
