Chapter Seventy-Four: Is This Fate?
Qi Lele has never tasted love, when she was a child, she was thin and small, because of her background, she has always been the target of bullying, and later was sent to various interest classes by her grandmother, and she didn't have many friends and playmates.
While the other girls were discussing which boy was the most handsome and coolest in school and which boy had the best grades, she was immersed in her homework, just to be able to spare time to go home and help her grandmother do more.
When she arrived at university, she had to be busy with work-study and hard work for scholarships, and she had no time to take care of anything else.
What's more, she still has a space, but if she has a little personal time and space, she can't wait to dig into the soil twice.
As for love, can it be eaten as a meal? They haven't reached the legal age of marriage yet, so what's the hurry!
Perhaps because of his background and childhood, Qi Lele decided that all love that is not premised on marriage is a trick! It's impossible to think about that until you graduate from college.
In fact, this marriage with Xie Zi'an seems to be what she wants, not only with the name of husband and wife as a guarantee, but also gives her enough time to accept it slowly.
Today's kiss came so suddenly.
The lips were licked by the tip of the warm tongue, Qi Lele trembled slightly, pushed him away violently, and subconsciously pursed his lips, wanting to drive away the numb and hot feeling.
The room was quiet, Qi Lele seemed to be able to hear her heartbeat like thunder, and the person she pushed away was standing not far away, and she didn't make a sound, she realized that it didn't seem appropriate for her to be like this, after all, she and Xie Zi'an were husband and wife!
"You, didn't you promise me not to have children for the time being?"
Qi Lele, who lowered his head, didn't see the faint loss in Xie Zi'an's eyes disappear because of her words, and only heard his voice with a smile: "Who told you that if you kiss it, you will get pregnant?"
Qi Lele glanced at him secretly, and saw that he didn't seem to be unhappy, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then felt that he was obviously taken advantage of, so why was he afraid that he would be angry!
"I can't remember it either!"
Xie Zi'an laughed lightly and walked to the table: "Grind it for me."
"Okay."
Speaking of which, Xie Zi'an is really a good teacher, since he said that he wanted to teach her to read, he would make time every night to urge her to recognize and write, these days, Qi Lele has found the feeling of practicing calligraphy.
Is there a difference between being illiterate and being able to read and write, Qi Lele felt that Xie Zi'an should have noticed it, but he didn't mention it, so Qi Lele also continued to pretend to be talented.
Grinding was also taught by Xie Zi'an, standing behind her, hugging her, teaching her little by little, how much water to add, how to exert force, and at what speed.
Speaking of which, the two seem to have a skin-to-skin relationship for a long time, Xie Zi'an will have some intimate actions towards her from time to time, hugging and hugging are about to become the norm, why doesn't she even feel repulsed?
Obviously, in the past, whenever a boy got closer, she felt that her hairs stood on end and her fists itched.
Is this what is called fate?
Or is she actually a dog?
Qi Lele was thinking wildly, but his subordinates kept moving.
Xie Zi'an occasionally looked up, and saw someone looking like he was wandering into the world, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Alright."
Qi Lele came back to his senses, and sure enough, seeing that the ink was already well, he hurriedly took a small spoon and scooped it into the plate next to him.
"Do you want to practice calligraphy now?"
Xie Zi'an shook his head: "I want to paint a painting."
Qi Lele sighed: "Then I'll go to Uncle Wang's courtyard to have a look."
"Go ahead."
Qi Lele turned around and walked out the door, she didn't know what the people behind her were doing.
Xie Zi'an pondered for a moment, and then picked up the pen, but with a few strokes, a beautiful woman was gradually revealed, her eyes flowing, looking forward to her life, and her delicate and lovely appearance jumped on the paper.
Probably even Xie Zi'an himself didn't notice how gentle his eyes were at the moment and how doting his smile was.
Qi Lele didn't know anymore, she went out of the courtyard and went straight to Wang Yuzhong's house.
Since the three people of the Du family have successfully made the first
After a vat of sesame oil and sesame paste, they went back to work in the courtyard of the Wang family.
Seeing Qi Lele coming in, a flash of surprise flashed in the eyes of the three of them, but their faces were the same as usual.
Qi Lele looked at the sesame oil and sesame paste they made, and the quality was not bad.
"I think it would be better if you added some salt to the boiling water when adding boiling water, and you might be able to try it."
"Okay, let's try less in the next tank."
Qi Lele bowed his head.
Seeing that she had a gentle personality, Du Qiuliang asked again, "Young lady, can other crops besides sesame seeds be used in this method?"
Qi Lele thought for a moment and said, "Walnuts and peanuts seem to be fine, but I haven't done them before, and I don't know how much water to add. You can give it a try when you have free time in the future."
Du Qiuliang answered yes.
Qi Lele only watched for a while and then went to the backyard, where Aunt Wang was flipping over the cottonseeds.
Looking left and right, Qi Lele moved a small stool over, ready to carefully pick cottonseeds.
Aunt Wang hurriedly said, "You teach me, I'll come."
"I'm idle, I'm idle, let's pick together."
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Your clothes are so beautiful, what if they get dirty!"
Qi Lele carefully tugged at the hem of his skirt and sat on the small stool: "It's okay, I'll be careful."
Aunt Wang stopped persuading, and also moved a small stool over: "How to choose?"
"It is best to leave the cottonseed that is ripe and full, uniform in size, and similar in shape and color." Qi Lele said, picking out a few to show Aunt Wang: "Don't want this kind of small seeds, deflated seeds, tender seeds, broken seeds, and insect-eaten seeds, and don't want this kind of bad shape."
Aunt Wang kept it in mind and picked it up.
"How many days is this going to take?"
"The weather is good, let's dry it, just turn it two or three times a day, and when you shake the cottonseed, you can hear a sound inside."
"Can you plant it when it's sunburned?"
Qi Lele hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.
Aunt Wang was delicate, and couldn't help asking, "What?"
Qi Lele said: "It stands to reason that after the sun is dried, you have to plant one or two hundred cotton seeds to try to see how much they can germinate, but this year it is a little too late, even if there is not enough germination, you can only plant it first, and wait for the next year."
"Most of the cottonseeds that have been carefully selected like this should be able to sprout, right?"
"Not necessarily, but if we can have an 80% germination rate, it would be great."
Aunt Wang secretly took a breath: "Can there be an eighty percent germination rate? I've heard them say it's good to have a germination rate."
This is not surprising, if you do not select seedlings and plant them directly in the field, the seedling emergence rate will indeed be miserable.
"I'm not sure, so I'll have to try."
The two of them picked and chose for a long time, and their tired waists were sore, so they roughly picked the cottonseeds in this place: "Let's go here today, just pick it again after it is sunburned."
"Okay." Aunt Wang patted the dust on her body: "It's not early, it's time to prepare dinner."
Thinking of Xie Ziyan and Xie Ziwen, Qi Lele said, "I'll cook tonight."
Aunt Wang didn't speak, she just glanced at her from top to bottom, and the meaning was self-evident.
Qi Lele smiled, "It won't take long to change clothes. Ziyan and Ziwen have worked hard for the past two days, so I'll get some of their favorite food."
Aunt Wang also laughed, "I'll give you a hand."
Qi Lele is indispensable.
