Before Technician Li could react, Lianhua slapped him hard on the back of the head, and he felt dizzy.

"Auntie! It's dried peaches!" Jiaojiao stretched her head out and held the dried peaches in her hand to show Lianhua, "You called the wrong number!"

lotus……

Technician Li put Jiaojiao down, touched the back of his head innocently, and looked at Lianhua with gritted teeth and inhaled.

Shuixiu, who had been making insoles in the house, heard the noise and ran out to ask what happened.

Lotus... please shut up!

Seeing Lianhua's embarrassed face, Technician Li put down his hand and said comfortingly, "It's okay, it's okay, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"

Lotus laughed dryly, "Yes, yes, sorry! I...I'll pour you some water!"

She picked up the bowl on the ground and ran back into the house as if escaping.

Jiaojiao quickly handed the dried peaches to Technician Li and said, "Eat them, eat two slowly."

Technician Li looked at Tao Gan, exchanged a glance with Jiaojiao, and they both burst out laughing.

He pinched a dried peach and put it in his mouth. After just two bites, his face became intoxicated. The peach fragrance filled his mouth, making him feel as if he was in summer. The breeze blew through the branches, and the peach leaves rustled. He took a bite of the peach, and the juice exploded between his lips and teeth. It was really enjoyable!

Technician Li ate one peach after another, and before he knew it, he had eaten most of the bag of dried peaches. It was not until Lianhua brought him the sugar water that he suddenly realized that he was a guest at the Feng family!

Technician Li quickly stopped holding the dried peaches. This time, it was his turn to feel embarrassed. He laughed dryly and said, "This dried peach is so delicious. I accidentally didn't pay attention..."

He ate half a pack. Technician Li's face was burning. How could he eat other people's food like this when he was visiting someone at this time of year?

Unexpectedly, Lianhua didn't care at all. She waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Go ahead and eat. We still have plenty! If you can't finish the rest, take it back for your children!"

Technician Li blushed again: "Well... I don't have any children."

Not only does he not have any children, he is not even married yet, he is a bachelor!

Lotus looked at his flushed face and suddenly understood. She pretended to be nonchalant and comforted him: "Hey, what's the big deal about having children? These days, having children and no food is also a problem!"

She often followed Old Lady Feng to deliver babies, and was more open about this than others.

Technician Li...always feels like something is wrong.

Lianhua handed the bag of dried peaches to Jiaojiao: "Give some more to Technician Li!"

Only Old Lady Feng and Jiaojiao can find the delicious food at home. She and Shuixiu can't even touch the peach hairs!

"No, no! Really!" Technician Li quickly declined. What a joke! It's bad enough that he came empty-handed, but he ate and took things. He was so embarrassed!

Jiaojiao took the dried peaches deftly, ran back to the house, and after a while, came out with a big bag full of dried peaches.

Lianhua was too enthusiastic and she was a girl, so Technician Li couldn't refuse her and had to accept it. However, he secretly planned to borrow another cake ticket and buy some cakes, candies and other things to send to the Feng family.

After refusing, Technician Li got down to business. He held the dried peaches in his hand and asked, "This bag of dried peaches must have taken a lot of peaches, right? How many peaches can your peach tree produce at a time?"

"I don't know exactly how much there was. I was counting at first, but then I lost count and stopped. Anyway, it was a lot. Every household in our village divided it up, and there's still quite a bit left!"

Technician Li looked at the dried peaches in his hand and thought that there must be quite a few of them. The seasonal fruits are the freshest, and these dried peaches must have been preserved because they could not be eaten all.

"Look, there's a peach pit!" Jiaojiao held a peach pit in her little hand.

The size of the peach cannot be determined by looking at the peach stem alone, but once the peach pit is seen, Technician Li can roughly estimate the size of the peach.

"This peach is quite big!" Technician Li picked up the peach pit and looked at it carefully.

The peach pit is shaped like a teardrop, with a pointed top and a round belly.

"Can I open it and see the peach kernels inside?" Technician Li asked Jiaojiao.

"Okay, uncle, are you going to plant peach trees? We still have a lot of peach kernels at home!"

"Really? That's great!" Technician Li felt that Jiaojiao was a little lucky star who could always speak to his heart's content.

"Yes, we ate a lot of peaches in the summer and saved them all. Great-grandmother said she would make stir-fried peach kernels for me during the Chinese New Year!"

"Eat...eat...eat...can't eat!" Technician Li jumped up from the stool, stuttering in his haste.

"I haven't eaten yet!" Jiaojiao tilted her head and said, "It's not New Year's yet!"

"That's good! That's good!" Technician Li breathed a sigh of relief. Although the peach trees will bear fruit next year, we'll have to wait another year!

"But if I give you the peach kernels, you won't have any to eat during the Chinese New Year!" Jiaojiao said with a distressed look, "Without peach kernels, the Chinese New Year won't be fun!"

"Smells good! Smells good! I'll buy you some sunflower seeds, peanuts, and sesame candy! I'll make sure your mouth smells delicious all New Year long!"

Technician Li immediately gave his guarantee.

"Okay then, just wait!"

Jiaojiao took a step with her short legs and, with the help of Lianhua, stepped over the threshold, ran into Old Lady Feng's room, took out a bag of peach kernels from her Qiankun bag and gave it to Technician Li.

Technician Li was overjoyed and wrapped the peach kernels and stuffed them into his chest pocket.

The trip was fruitful and Technician Li left Wangjia Village with satisfaction.

At the same time, in the county party committee compound, Secretary Wang's face turned pale and he was so angry that he threw away the newly replaced enamel pot.

"You are so good, Zhang, you always oppose me! If a tiger doesn't show its might, I think I am a sick cat!"

"Secretary, I heard the person in charge of this matter is a technician named Li Xiucheng," Section Chief Kong asked, leaning over. "I heard his family isn't well off, and he's still single! Should we try to win him over?"

"Hmph! A technician who causes me trouble everywhere! Go and see how he hooked up with Zhang! If you can get him, that's great. If you can't, then find trouble with him and make him have no peace!"

"Okay!"

"And that guy surnamed Zhang, check again. Which connection did he make? How did he manage to invite the city experts here without any prior notification?"

"Okay! I'll check it out right away!"

After Chief Kong finished speaking, he asked, "What do you think about Wangjia Village?"

Secretary Wang's face darkened even more when Wangjia Village was mentioned. Not only had he made a wasted trip, but he also ended up getting stinky. If the people of Wangjia Village knew what was happening, who knows how they would laugh at him.

"Let them keep looking!"

"Alright!" Chief Kong was very proud in his heart. Humph! I told you Wangjia Village people not to take me seriously. You will suffer in the future!
