Chapter 124 123. The main purpose is to deceive
Lei Li stayed up until noon.
He didn't used to stay in bed.
Every day, I get up at dawn as soon as the rooster crows, quickly wash up, cook, wash clothes, pick eggs from the chicken coop, and carry a basket to the mountains to find medicinal herbs, dig wild yam, and pick wild vegetables. I am so busy that I never have to rest.
Even if it is windy or rainy or he is sick with wind-heat, Lei Li will not stay idle at home, let alone stay in bed, which is a rare thing for a farmer.
The crops in the field will not wait for you to get enough sleep before drinking water, the weeds in the field will not stop growing until you get up, the rainstorm and strong wind will not wait for you to be free before coming, and the money will not run to your feet and wait for you to bend down to pick it up.
Everything has to be done in a hurry.
They want to grab everything.
Those busy days were like being forced to run a mountain. Lei Li was urged to run, run hard, run diligently, until he turned over a slope and bumped into Zhou Yi's arms, and only then did he have time to rest.
Zhou Yi takes care of everything. It doesn't matter if you are slow or lazy. It doesn't matter if there is a reason for everything or if you are unreasonable.
Lei Li lay down naturally.
Like today.
Lei Li not only lay down, but also stayed in bed for a long time with a clear conscience, until the sun was high in the sky and his butt was shining. Only when Zhou Yi came to call him did he pretend to be sleepy.
"Husband..."
Lei Li grabbed Zhou Yi's wrist and pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed. He rested his head on Zhou Yi's legs and wrapped his arms around Zhou Yi's waist.
He rubbed his face.
Zhou Yi's ears instantly felt hot.
Zhou Yi moved uncomfortably, trying to push Lei Li away a little to create some distance, but instead of doing so, Lei Li hugged him even tighter, got closer to him, and even rubbed against him intentionally.
"What's wrong?"
Lei Li didn't open her eyes, but the corners of her lips curled up cunningly, as if to show weakness and teasing, "Husband, don't you like me hugging you like this?"
“Not really…”
Zhou Yi could never win an argument with him. He would tease him even if he said he liked him, and pretend to be angry if he said he didn't like him. So he changed the subject, "It's time to get up and have breakfast. How about breakfast before going to sleep? There's lean meat porridge and garlic vegetables, as well as the two side dishes you said you liked last night and the braised pork."
"Is the braised pork from the one in Huzi Lane?"
"yes."
Zhou Yi touched his face and was happy to see that he had gained some weight. "Aren't you from that restaurant? I guess you got up late today, so I went to buy some, including the peanut sauce from the restaurant."
The restaurant’s braised peanuts are a new dish, and they also have braised pork elbows, braised duck, and braised chicken, but Zhou Yi’s recipe has more spices and sauces, and the braised meat has a strong and rich flavor.
After Lei Li gave birth to her baby, her diet returned to a lighter one. She prefers the braised pork from the old recipe shop in Huzi Lane. It is relatively sweet and not too salty when eaten as a snack.
But I also love to eat meat.
Breakfast is also eaten as lunch or dinner, with meat and vegetables. At home, there are also sweet soups and pastries, which can provide sufficient nutrition and energy to lay a solid foundation for a day's work.
Lei Li is now recuperating and rarely goes to the restaurant, but he still works there.
He looks at the account books, calculates expenditures and income, decides the prices of new dishes, handles fluctuations in medicinal material prices, and decides which supplier to replace when there are problems with the food supply or when inferior goods are sold as good ones. He makes all the decisions.
Especially as the year draws to a close, the restaurant's business is even more prosperous, and some minor problems occurred with the temporary workers they hired.
There were undercover agents sent by competitors who deliberately replaced the salt in the kitchen with sugar and put aged vinegar in soy sauce bottles. They also deliberately quarreled with customers to affect the restaurant's reputation. Some of them even got close to the chef in the kitchen to get the recipes.
Real business wars are always so outrageous and despicable.
It is easy to dodge an open attack, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. Even the best boss can hardly prevent others from using money to bribe their subordinates to do evil, and Lei Li cannot keep an eye on everyone.
I have a slight headache.
But not much.
Competitors will use tricks to wage a war of public opinion, and Lei Li and Chen Xiangrang will do the same. They have the support of the Meng family and are even richer than their opponents.
Fire the employees who caused trouble, and use the same method to retaliate against them. Give some gifts to the county magistrate Xu Xingzhe and let him teach them a lesson. Then invite them out for a meal. If they refuse to accept the sweet treats and the stick, they will be beaten to death.
Lei Li told Zhou Yi all he had done, then deliberately hummed and said his head hurt, asking Zhou Yi to rub it and hug him to comfort him.
It feels like the pain is so severe that I can't take care of myself.
But the next second, she pushed Zhou Yi onto the bed and ate him like a cabbage. She only rolled up the quilt and went to sleep when she was satisfied. The next day, she still needed Zhou Yi to coax her to get up.
The main purpose is to deceive people for sex.
But who asked Zhou Yi to spoil him?
Lei Li was thinking in his mind, and his hands were not honest, so he went into Zhou Yi's clothes. Zhou Yi caught him, so he tickled his palm and hooked his little finger.
"Wake up now?"
Zhou Yi held Lei Li's hand tightly, not letting him do anything in his palm or touch anything else, otherwise if he got into trouble, Lei Li might not help him solve it.
It's no use trying to solve it for him.
Lei Li was always greedy, asking for more and more, coaxing and deceiving, and sometimes even holding up three fingers to swear, saying that next time he would be pure-hearted, abstinent, and self-disciplined, otherwise -
He was kissed to death by Zhou Yi.
I don’t know who is being punished.
"Just give me a kiss and I'll get up."
Lei Li raised his face and felt it get wet. He curled his lips again, "Didn't you say you wanted to kiss me? What's the point of just kissing my face? Kiss me again."
Zhou Yi had no choice but to kiss him.
His lips were bitten by Lei Li again last night. When the tip of his tongue touched them, it felt a little stinging. The corner of Lei Li's lip was a little cracked and there was a small blood scab.
But Lei Li didn't care at all.
Holding the back of Zhou Yi's neck, she pushed him down and carefully exchanged a long kiss with a hint of rust inside and out.
Just opened his eyes, his dark pupils shimmered with light, and he asked with a sly smile, "Does it hurt?"
Zhou Yi was bitten by Lei Li again.
When I bit the broken skin, a small patch of my light-colored lips turned red and stained with blood. When I licked it, the slight stinging sensation became more obvious.
"It doesn't hurt."
Zhou Yi shook his head.
These weren't really wounds, and they didn't hurt, but Lei Li relied on his thick skin and resistance to pain, biting and sucking left and right, as if he had to find a place that would hurt Zhou Yi.
"It really doesn't hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"I'm in a little pain."
Lei Li deliberately stuck out her tongue, with the tip of her tongue slightly raised, like a snake raising its head to attack, but her tone was lowered and weak, deliberately teasing Zhou Yi.
"Can you give me a blowjob, my dear husband?"
“…”
Zhou Yi covered his mouth. His palm was licked, and his ears felt a little hot. He also strengthened his will. "Stop making trouble. Hurry up and get up and have breakfast. Although I sent a message home last night, I have to go back early today to avoid worrying my parents."
"You're already an adult, what are you worried about?"
Lei Li's mouth was covered, and his words were a little slurred. "It's rare for just the two of us to be out here, don't you want to stay with me for a while longer before going back?"
"We've visited many places. I heard from Mengluo that there's a marriage temple in the east of the county. The goddess of marriage is very powerful. Should we go and worship there?"
"What's the point of visiting the Marriage Temple?"
"Thank her for granting us a good marriage, and pray for a good marriage for the baby. There are many people now, so we have to book in advance so that the Goddess of Marriage can look for a good match for the baby early."
"It's too early..."
"Not too early, not too early."
Lei Li got up from the bed, sat in Zhou Yi's arms and kissed him, teasing him, "We met too late because we got married earlier. If we had gotten married earlier, my husband would have tasted her until he was sixteen or seventeen..."
“…No.”
Isn't it illegal at the age of sixteen or seventeen?
Zhou Yi really didn't want to be caught by his hat friend, nor did he want to be laughed at for several years.
But when Lei Li was sixteen or seventeen, his situation was already difficult, right? A sick father, a frail mother, a poor family, and surrounded by rumors and gossip. Lei Li had to support a family at such a young age.
"If I met you when you were sixteen or seventeen, I would praise you for being so brave and awesome, and for working hard to be yourself and earn the life you want."
“…”
Lei Li raised her eyebrows, automatically ignoring the sentimental words, and took Zhou Yi's hand and put it on her belly, teasing him relentlessly.
"If I were sixteen..."
"Get up."
Zhou Yi had already guessed what he would say, something earth-shattering. He quickly pulled his hand out and put the man back on the bed, then stood three meters away from the bed and said, "Let's go to the temple to worship in the afternoon and go home for dinner."
"……oh."
Wooden head.
There is no charm at all.
—
It was already noon when the thunder started.
After eating breakfast, which was no longer considered breakfast, he sent a message home and hired a carriage to go to the Temple of the Goddess of Marriage in the east of Qingmi County.
There are quite a lot of people in the Temple of the Goddess of Marriage.
The Bodhi tree in the temple is probably hundreds of years old. It is so thick that it takes several people to hug it. Its branches are hung with long red prayer ribbons that flutter in the wind.
Lei Li and Zhou Yi bought some incense and followed the crowd into the temple. They reverently bowed to the Goddess of Marriage, lit incense, and donated a lot of money.
"Draw a lot."
The abbot of the temple had kind eyes and long white eyebrows that drooped down to his mouth, making him look quite immortal. However, he only interpreted the fortunes for those who gave the most money.
"This one."
Lei Li picked one at random.
The white-browed host took it, glanced at it, and said with a kind smile, "This is a very good fortune. What is destined to happen will happen eventually. Just let it happen naturally and don't force it."
"What's the meaning?"
This left Lei Li confused.
"Although there are some twists and turns, the result is good. Husband, don't be too anxious. When the time is right, a good marriage will return."
The more the white-haired host talked, the more confused Lei Li became. He felt that he was trying to cheat him out of his money. Thinking about the money he had just invested, he felt that it was not worth it, so he drew another lot.
"How do I solve this? I drew it for my baby."
"How big is the doll?"
"Four."
Lei Li stretched out four fingers.
"Four?"
"Four months."
The white-haired host laughed when he heard this. "This is the first time I've seen such an anxious father. Well, since I see you're destined to be together, I'll give you another one."
"This one is also a good one."
