Chapter 58 057. "Leili, do you want to kiss?"
but……
Zhou Yi glanced at Lei Li, and suddenly felt malicious. He handed him the plum he had just bitten with a serious face, "It's sweet, try it."
"Give it back to me after you've eaten it?"
Lei Li said this, but his mood suddenly improved. He took it and took a big bite.
“…”
He wanted to bury Zhou Yi.
Lei Li swallowed it expressionlessly and finished the sour plum in two bites. Then he pinched Zhou Yi's face, pried open his mouth, and stuffed in a handful of small green plums.
acid.
As sour as murdering one's husband.
Zhou Yi's twenty-eight teeth were almost sour. He wanted to spit it out, but Lei Li covered his mouth and forced him to chew it a few times before swallowing it.
With small pit.
"Brother Zhou Yi!"
The young man hurried over and wanted to help Zhou Yi, but was pushed away by Lei Li.
"A little pain won't kill him, why rush? He'll be fine after a while."
Lei Li smiled wryly, "But you, Qing'er, it's not good for an unmarried girl to be so close to a man, right? I know there's nothing going on between you two, but outsiders don't know. If your reputation is ruined, it will be hard to find a husband in the future."
"There's no one else here."
Qing Ge'er looked around and smiled playfully, "Brother Zhou Yi is not a bad person. I think he is like my brother. It's okay for a younger brother to be close to his older brother."
"Brother Zhou Yi, don't you agree?"
Zhou Yi took a long time to recover. When he heard this, he waved his hands and said, "You'd better stay away from me. It's really not good to be in a melon field with plums."
And they are not ripe now. The plums I give him are always so sour. The trees I find for him are also sour. They look red, but they are actually so sour that your teeth will fall off. What will happen if they are ripe?
Could it be that Lei Li asked this kid to mess with him?
Zhou Yi thought about it, looked up and saw Lei Li's smiling eyes, and apologized quickly.
"I was just joking..."
“It’s quite funny.”
Lei Li smiled, then glanced at Qing Ge'er, "Even though plums are delicious, it's not good to eat so many every day. Be careful not to get a stomach upset from eating too much."
"I know that..."
Qingger forced a smile and secretly glared at Zhou Yi, saying that he was a blockhead and had no idea about romance.

The freshly picked plums are incredibly fresh.
It is full of vitality, and it is crispy when you take a bite. The juice bursts out from the flesh, sour and sweet.
It is very different from the fruits transported in modern supermarkets. Even though the leaves and stems are still green, the freshness of the fruits has been lost due to the bumps.
I picked a full basket.
But most of them were picked by Lei Li.
Because Zhou Yi discovered that as long as the thunder chestnuts were picked, no matter whether they were big or small, or even green, they all tasted sweet, or they had no taste, and there was almost no assassin.
It doesn’t look like the one Zhou Yi picked.
Each one of them can make people jealous to death.
So Lei Li picked one and Zhou Yi ate one, picked one and ate one, and after eating more than ten, Lei Li ordered him not to eat any more.
Lei Li was not trying to scare Qing Ge'er. Although fresh plums are delicious, eating too many of them will really cause diarrhea.
Keep a few pounds for your own consumption, and give the rest away.
Give them to the families of some village heads. Liu Xiaocao and his sister-in-law both like to eat plums. Also, give them to some uncles and aunts who are on good terms with our family. They have children at home and don’t have many snacks, so they can use plums as teeth grinding to satisfy their cravings.
In fact, Qing Ge'er also helped to pick them.
But since the plums he gave him the previous two times were very sour, Zhou Yi didn't quite trust his judgment and secretly threw away the plums he picked.
Anyway, there are so many plums here that no one wants to eat them. If you throw them on the ground, small animals will eat them, so it won’t be wasted. The pits may grow into plum seedlings next year.
When the time comes, dig up two and take them home to plant.
Zhou Yi thought happily that the heavy plums on his back did not feel heavy at all, since he was planning to do something sour anyway.
No chili powder though.
You can also use five-color pepper, add some salt, a little bit of sugar to enhance the flavor, put some perilla leaves, and flatten the plums with a wooden board and then put them in to mix.
When the plum juice seeps out, it is ready to eat.
It’s a pity that I didn’t see any mangoes, otherwise green mangoes would be a great way to make sour food. White-fleshed guavas, grapes, sand pears, and radishes are also delicious.
But Lei Li had never heard of these fruits.
It is possible that it existed in this dynasty, but due to inconvenient transportation, it did not spread to Sanli Village.
As for the little white radish...
"You want to eat a radish when it's so small? Can't you wait until it grows bigger and eat a bigger one?"
Lei Li's face was full of condemnation for being a spendthrift.
Zhou Yi was too embarrassed to say it because the small white radishes were crisper and tastier than the big ones. In the end, he only pickled the big white radishes to make sour ones. Although they were not as tasty as the chili peppers, they were still appetizing and quite delicious.
"When do longans ripen?"
On the way back, Zhou Yi saw some longan trees nearby. Although no one took care of them, the branches were still covered with fruits in bunches and clusters.
“It’s almost ready to eat.”
Lei Li also glanced at the longan tree. "But the longans in this mountain haven't been fertilized, so they're not very sweet. If you want to eat them, pick them now. The birds will eat them soon."
"Then I'll go pick some."
Zhou Yi took a few steps and turned back to look at Lei Li, looking a little eager. "I'm not very good at picking. You pick them. The ones you pick are sweeter."
Lei Li didn't think that what he picked was sweet, but the feeling that Zhou Yi needed him made him very happy. Moreover, although Zhou Yi looked stupid most of the time, he was occasionally quite smart and would avoid suspicion.
For example, he just threw away Qingge'er's plums in front of him, which made Qingge'er so angry that he put on his shoes and ran away without saying a word.
Lei Li picked a few handfuls of large longans based on his experience. Zhou Yi ate one and found it sweet, juicy and plump. He kept exclaiming that Lei Li really knew how to do everything and even picked the fruits so well.
It's strange.
Zhou Yi is good at picking vegetables and meat, but he is not so good at picking fruits. He just picks whichever ones look good, just like opening a blind box.
On the way back, I came across a wild tea plant and picked a few to make tea. They were also sweet.
Lei Li also picked a handful of young wild wolfberry leaves, and tonight's menu was ready: plum and sour bamboo shoot duck and wolfberry egg drop soup, as well as longan and plum fruits for after-meal.
—
At night.
Zhou Yi lay in bed, feeling that these past few days were quite fulfilling. He dried rice, went up the mountain to buy goods, and ate well, with meat, vegetables, and white rice. He hadn't felt so comfortable in a long time.
But I feel like something is missing.
After thinking about it for a long time, until Lei Li blew out the oil lamp and lay down on the bed to sleep quietly, he suddenly remembered -
He and Lei Li hadn't kissed for a long time.
When at home, Lei Li would tease him at every turn. At night, she would use the excuse of having a baby to pull down his pants, touch him all over, pinch his chin, and forcefully try to kiss him.
After the kiss, she was still laughing, saying that his face and ears would turn red just by kissing him.
Sometimes when Lei Li was unhappy, he would bring up old grudges, saying how many kisses he still owed him, and then she would ride on him and kiss him three, four, five, or six times.
In the end, I didn't even open it.
She clung to him like an octopus, held him like a sleeping doll, and kicked him away when she got too hot.
There were several times when Zhou Yi fell off the bed in the middle of his sleep. He was angry but dared not say anything. In the end, he just climbed back into bed and went to sleep quietly.
But since they went to the county town to open a shop, they seemed to have not kissed each other since then.
I have been busy all day, with so many people around and I am very tired, so I have no time to visit my parents. At night, because the store is small, I have to sleep in one room with my parents.
Two bamboo mats spread on the ground make a bed.
It's cool.
Hard.
In front of his parents, Lei Li didn't feel comfortable teasing Zhou Yi, nor did he feel comfortable leaning over to kiss him.
Zhou Yi had a good sleep pattern to begin with, and without being disturbed by Lei Li, coupled with being too tired from work, he fell asleep almost as soon as he hit the bed, without even giving Lei Li a chance to raid him in the middle of the night.
so……
They haven't kissed in almost a month.
This should be a good thing for Zhou Yi, because every time Lei Li kissed him, his mouth would be bitten and it would hurt, just like a little tiger eating meat.
But he inexplicably...
A bit empty.
The moon outside the window is very big.
Moonlight filtered in through the window, casting a faint light into the room. The two were so close that Zhou Yi could reach out and hold Lei Li's body, and could even see the small brown mole on the back of his neck.
Lei Li said that Zhou Yi also had a small mole on his back.
Zhou Yi couldn't see there, so he didn't know if it was real, but Lei Li liked to bite the flesh where the mole was, grinding it with her sharp teeth, and deliberately asked him with a smile,
"Husband, does it hurt?"
It doesn't hurt much.
It's a bit itchy though.
Zhou Yi was thick-skinned and honest, so Lei Li deliberately bit him hard.
This time it really hurts.
He suspected that it was bleeding.
Lei Li laughed out loud, and then fell asleep contentedly, as if he really treated Zhou Yi as his bedtime pet. He couldn't fall asleep at night unless he teased him to make him happy.
But these past few days, Lei Li didn't tease him at night and didn't talk much.
It feels weird.
——Zhou Yi swore that he really didn’t have any masochistic tendencies, but Lei Li suddenly changed, and he felt a little uneasy.
"Thunder Li."
"Um?"
"You want to..."
Zhou Yi paused, "What are you thinking about now?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to be beaten for not sleeping and asking such stupid questions."
“…”
Got scolded.
Zhou Yi felt oddly happy.
He looked at Lei Li's loose hair, which was also black, but not very smooth. It might be because he was exposed to too much sun from work and did not take good care of it, so it was a little rough.
But it's quite long.
It grows to the middle of the back and can be tied into a high ponytail, which looks neat and heroic.
"Thunder Li."
"What again?"
"Do you want a kiss?"
“…”
Zhou Yi moved closer and asked him, "Do you want to kiss?"
“…”
Lei Li turned around and looked at him intently, which made Zhou Yi a little nervous, afraid that he might say something wrong and make him angry.
I was just about to apologize.
Lei Li suddenly moved closer, pinched Zhou Yi's chin and kissed him.
