MTL - 90s, The Cannon Fodder Wife of the Paranoid Boss is Reborn-Chapter 205 Can eat

Chapter 205 It’s ready to eat

 Xiao Cheng went over carrying a big bamboo basket.

In the lush corn field, Bai Lu walked out with a big corn in one hand and a smile on her face.

"Hongying said that all the corn grown here is waxy corn. Her family is the first to grow it on the entire hillside and it is the earliest to mature. Let's pick more corn. There is no corn for sale on the street. Let's pick some corn and give it to Xiaowei to try. "

With an expressionless expression, Xiao Cheng stretched out the bamboo basket to catch the corn, and with his other hand broke off the corn leaves that almost cut off his face.

 After breaking off the corn leaves, he reached out his hand to the corn on the stalk, obviously intending to break the corn as well.

Bai Lu quickly held his hand and said, "This is not ripe yet, so you can't pick it."

Xiao Cheng glanced at the little hand holding the wrist, then at the corn, and continued to stretch out his big hand with the little hand.

 “Have grown up.” A strong explanation.

Bai Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and held the boss's hand again: "You can't pick it when it grows up. The whiskers of this corn have not changed color yet, and the corn kernels inside are still small. They have not grown up and the kernels are not full. You have to wait until the corn whiskers are grown. When it turns dark brown, the corn kernels will be plump and more delicious.”

Xiao Cheng has seen corn sold on the street, but he has never seen how others pick it: "I'll peel it and take a look."

 Obviously there is no intention to let the corn go.

Bai Lu was really worried about the boss's stubbornness, so she directly held his hand and turned to another corn next to her.

 “This corn is ripe, let’s pick this one, this one will definitely taste better than that one!”

 Xiao Cheng obeyed and picked another corn.

Bai Lu was so moved that she immediately let go of his hand and went inside to pick the corn she had already set her sights on.

I thought Xiao Cheng would come together, but I didn’t hear the footsteps, but I heard a crisp “click!”

Bai Lu turned around subconsciously.

 The cornstalker has become the commander of the bare stalks.

Xiao Cheng put the immature corn into the bamboo basket and added calmly: "I pinched it and there are corn kernels."

Bai Lu was unable to hold his forehead, so in order to prevent the boss from getting into trouble again, she could only lead him inside.

Even as I walked away, I couldn't help but mutter: "Why do you have to deal with a corn that hasn't grown up? The corn kernels haven't grown up, they're not full, and they're not even big enough to fit between your teeth... Didn't you pick corn when you were young? Do you also know how to pick grown corns...Why have you forgotten now..."

 After the last experience, Xiao Cheng no longer cares about why Bai Lu knew about his childhood.

 As long as it’s her, that’s fine.

 But the incorrect facts must be corrected: "I didn't pick it, Abiao and Shiliu picked it."

There is land on the lower reaches of the river in Xinzhen. In previous years, some families would grow some corn. Luo Shiliu and Xiao Zhongbiao went to steal other people's corn. Xiao Cheng actually went to catch them.

Just as soon as they entered, Luo Shiliu and Xiao Zhongbiao stuffed a corn into each of them. They happened to be seen by the owner of the corn field who came to pick corn, and they were chased on the spot.

 Three little boys ran very fast holding corn in their arms.

Bai Lu couldn't help but laugh when she thought of the scene that subverted the boss's aloof image.

“You must know that Luo Shiliu and Xiao won the bid to pick corn, otherwise how could they have gone in such a timely manner.”

 Xiao Cheng looked serious: "I didn't know beforehand."

 “Then how did you get there in such time?”

 “Xiao Dazhuang told me.”

Bai Lu still kept laughing. Although she didn't make a sound, her dull mood improved a lot.

Xiao Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes stayed on her face, and he said seriously: "I have never stolen corn."

"Okay, I understand..." Bai Lu held the corn stalk and smiled: "Do I want to give you a certificate?"

 As he spoke, he broke off a piece of corn and handed it over. Xiao Cheng received this unique certificate and made a pertinent comment: "The certificate issued by Teacher Lulu is very good."

 “Worth to be treasured.”

Bai Lu was amused by the serious attitude on the boss's face. She couldn't even hold the corn stalks, so she had to help him.

“I suggest you put the certificates in the ground after you go home, so that the certificates will grow longer and more...”

 Xiao Cheng nodded seriously: "It's a good suggestion."

Bai Lu smiled weakly, so she picked a few more corns and gave them to him before she lost her strength: "Come on, there are no too many awards, the more the better."

"good."

Xiao Cheng was holding the bamboo basket, looking at the girl's smiling face, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to eat lychees?"

Bai Lu was stunned: "There are no lychee trees here."

Surrounded by trapezoidal cornfields, there are no lychee trees, but there are quite a few large mountains on the opposite side of the hillside.

 Walking over there and going up the mountain will take at least ten minutes.

Moreover: “The lychees don’t seem to be ripe yet.”

Xiao Cheng didn't say anything. He took Bai Lu's wrist and walked forward, walking around the hillside and passing through patches of green cornfields. He also deliberately knocked the corn leaves sticking out of the path askew, breaking them if they couldn't.

 Hands on the corn leaves all the way.

Even though it was only a palm long, Bai Lu couldn't help but stop her. The way to stop her was to hold Xiao Cheng's hand every time he wanted to let go of her wrist.

 Five fingers intertwined with his five fingers, ten fingers intertwined tightly.

 Make him unable to let go.

 After walking for a while, the view became wider. Half of it, yes, it was just that the path beside the cornfield became wider.

What caught Bai Lu’s eyes was not the widening road, but the **** on the roadside.

 A huge lychee tree with abundant fruits!

Although, the lychees on the lychee tree have just begun to turn red in color and are not considered ripe at all.

 But actually, you can eat it, it’s sour and sweet, it tastes pretty good, it’s delicious.

Bai Lu's eyes shone with surprise: "How come there is a lychee tree here, and it is so big...with so many lychees growing, is it the lychee tree of Uncle Fu's family?"

Xiao Cheng nodded slightly: "Xiao Guofu said that half of this lychee tree grows on his land and half grows on the villagers' land. It is jointly owned by two families. Both of them can pick lychees. We can come and pick them if we want to eat."

Bai Lu recalled it for a moment and gave up: "I don't think I've ever heard Uncle Fu say such a thing."

Xiao Cheng looked at her deeply: "You were distracted at the time."

Bai Lu knew that she was in a bad state today and missed home several times when she saw things. She didn't want to meet Xiao Cheng's see-through eyes, so she let go of his hand and looked up at the lychee tree.

 “The lychees are not yet ripe.”

Xiao Cheng shook his still warm palm, put down the bamboo basket in his other hand, and walked towards the lychee tree growing on the slope: "It's ready to eat."

Bai Lu also walked over: "There are many lychee trees and other fruit trees in other mountains. I have been here so many times, but I have never heard from Uncle Fu or the villagers that they want to sell fruits. There are so many fruits, I can't eat them all..."

Xiao Cheng picked a lychee that turned green and turned red and gave it to Bai Lu, "The purchase price is too low."

 Bai Lu immediately understood that, like Bajiao, the price was so suppressed that the cost could not be recovered.

However, the lychee tree is not as straight as the octagonal tree and is difficult to pick. The lychee tree has many large branches branching upward from the root and is easy to climb. It is easier to pick than the octagonal tree. The villagers should pick it and sell it to the buyers, but they are not so active.

Bai Lu was eating the sweet and sour lychees and couldn't help but sigh: "It would be big business if we could sell them to other provinces."
