Chapter 27 Cantaloupe

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at the two of them tenderly, "Today we have cooked too much, and you and I, Big Brother Ye, can't finish it. The weather is so hot, I'm afraid it will break, I wonder if we can ask you two brothers and sisters to solve it together? "

Ji Xiaoxiao knew that according to the temperament of these two children, if he directly invited them to dinner, he would have to be unwilling, but it would be different if he changed his language skills, and it was okay for children to fool around.

Ji Yu said in a milky voice, "We can't eat anything from the young lady's house. My parents said that we can't take advantage of others."

Ji Lin tightened the arm that hugged Ji Yu, "Thank you little lady, we really have eaten."

Ji Lin lowered his eyes and hid the longing in his eyes, but he didn't want to owe favor by the way, because he couldn't afford it.

Ji Xiaoxiao walked over and touched Ji Yu's head, "But I'm asking for your help, or if it breaks, I have to throw it away, what a pity!"

Ji Yu and Ji Lin were stunned and looked at Ji Xiaoxiao with some hesitation. Ji Yu said anxiously, "It can't be thrown away, it can't be wasted."

Ji Lin pursed his lips and didn't speak, but looked at Ji Xiaoxiao with disapproval in his eyes.

Ji Xiaoxiao burst out laughing, "Then ask you two brothers and sisters to help my sister." After speaking, she pushed Ji Lin into the yard.

Ji Lin didn't know that Ji Xiaoxiao wanted to help him, his eyes were gleaming, seeing that the expectation in Ji Yu's eyes was not rejecting, he would find a way to repay him, definitely!
Ye Wuyan sat on the stool and turned to look at the three people who entered the door. Instead of eating, he waited for Ji Xiaoxiao to come in.

Looking at Ji Xiaoxiao approaching, he looked at Ji Lin and Ji Yu curiously, "Ma'am?" He wanted to ask what these two were here for. He remembered that they were the next-door siblings, Ji Lin and Ji Yu, who used to be grandfathers. Feed them.

Did the lady and grandpa invite them to dinner?Ye Wuyan understood after thinking about it, and showed a big smile to the two siblings.

When Ji Yu approached the dining table, she was attracted by the fragrance, twisting her body to get down from Ji Lin's arms, "Brother."

Ji Lin put Ji Yu on the ground, looked at Ye Wuyan's handsome face with a bright smile, and whispered, "Brother Ye."

Ji Xiaoxiao pointed at the empty bench, "Sit first, I'll get the dishes." After speaking, she turned and walked to the kitchen.

Ye Wuyan smirked and patted the stool, "It's all of you, sit down, my wife's cooking is the best."

Seeing the two children Ye Wuyan was quite happy. Grandpa often asked these two children to eat when he was there, so Ye Wuyan skillfully asked them to sit down.

Ji Lin and Ji Yu smiled shyly, Ji Yu looked up at Ji Lin, and Ji Lin sat down with Ji Yu.

Ji Xiaoxiao came out of the kitchen with the bowls and chopsticks, sat next to Ye Wuyan and handed the bowls and chopsticks to the two brothers and sisters, "Here, it's such a big pot, don't be polite, just eat it."

"Okay." Ji Lin took the empty bowl that Ji Xiaoxiao handed over.

Ji Lin and Ji Yu were still a little restrained, they didn't pick up meat with one chopstick, they just picked up one chopstick for side dishes.

Ji Lin took a bite of the side dish, his eyes widened, "It's delicious, I've never eaten such a delicious dish before."

Ji Lin had never eaten anything good since he was a child, and today's dish tasted the best he had ever eaten in his life.

Ji Yu looked at his brother's appearance, and couldn't wait to eat the dishes in the bowl, also showing a happy look, "It's delicious!"

Ji Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Eat more if it's delicious, don't just eat vegetables, but also meat." This is made from a hot pot artifact, can it be delicious?

Ye Wuyan raised his head proudly, "Of course my wife's cooking is delicious."

Ji Lin and Ji Yu nodded their heads at the same time, and now they were no longer cautious, completely bewitched by the food, and moved quickly.

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at the three people who were full of oil and cheered, and suddenly found a good way to make money. Although there is a lot of money in the family now, the house is to be repaired next. If the house is to be repaired, it will cost at least dozens Two, she and Ye Wuyan have to live next, and she doesn't want to wrong herself, and she must not eat too badly.

The rent of the land is not available now, and the house is not much money. The rent of the house in the countryside is cheap, maybe only a few dozen cents. According to the next life, the remaining money will not be enough for them to live long.

If you buy hot pot ingredients from Taobao and then sell them, can you make money?The most important thing is that the hot pot base is still very delicious, and anyone who buys it will not lose money. When he thinks of this, Ji Xiaoxiao gets excited.

Don't worry about it in the future, just think about who you sell it to.

After eating, Ji Lin and his sisters spontaneously cleaned up the dishes and went to wash the dishes. Ji Xiaoxiao stopped them to no avail. In the end, Ji Xiaoxiao just let it go. She didn't like washing dishes anyway. Heart, why didn't she be lazy.

Sitting in the yard, with Ye Wuyan's back against the big pillow, Ji Xiaoxiao drank the sugar water very leisurely, squinting her eyes, thinking that it would be nice if she had more fruit at this time.

Ye Wuyan hugged Ji Xiaoxiao and rubbed against Ji Xiaoxiao's hair from time to time, so unpleasant!

Ji Xiaoxiao put down the cup with water in her hand, raised her head slightly to look at Ye Wuyan, "Husband, do you want to eat fruit?"

Ye Wuyan nodded, then pursed his mouth again, "We forgot to buy fruit."

Ji Xiaoxiao shook his head, smiled and patted Ye Wuyan's hands around his waist, "Have you forgotten my skills?"

Ye Wuyan's eyes lit up, that's right, the lady knows fairy magic, Ye Wuyan asked curiously, "Is the lady going to conjure fruit?"

Ji Xiaoxiao got up, "Yeah, just wait for me here." After speaking, he walked into the room and prepared to buy two cantaloupe from Taobao to eat.

If you want to ask why you don't buy it directly in the yard, of course, you are afraid that Ji Lin and Ji Yu will see it, otherwise, they are not Ye Wuyan.

The cantaloupe on Taobao is cheap. There is a store that offers a discount. Buy a box for free delivery. Ji Xiaoxiao looks at the word "free delivery" and is in a very good mood. She really doesn't like things that require shipping. Although the shipping is not expensive, but I just feel that I am a bit at a loss. This time I don't want to ship, Ji Xiaoxiao's heart is suddenly moved.

There are ten cantaloupes in a box, and the total is only 200 yuan. Looking at the picture, it is quite big. Ji Xiaoxiao no longer hesitated to place the order.

Looking at the ten cantaloupes that appeared in Taobao's backpack, Ji Xiaoxiao hugged two and walked out, and happened to meet Ji Lin and Ji Yu who had cleaned up the kitchen.

Ji Lin smiled and looked at Ji Xiaoxiao, "Little Miss, Brother Ye, let's go back first, we have something to do in the afternoon."

In fact, Ji Lin's main thing in the afternoon is to go to the foot of the mountain to dig wild vegetables or pick up firewood, so that he can exchange it for money. The weather is not hot today, so he can go out early and find more wild vegetables and dry wood.

Ji Xiaoxiao didn't know Ji Lin's way of life yet, so she thought that there was something really wrong with the two of them, so she didn't hold back, and handed Ji Lin a cantaloupe, "Here, go home and peel it and eat it, it's very sweet."

Originally, I thought about giving it to the two of them now, but now it's better to give them one and go home.

"Ah?" Ji Lin was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands quickly, "No, no, we've already eaten meat, so we can't take anything from your family, Miss."

Ji Xiaoxiao didn't care whether Ji Lin wanted it or not, and shoved it directly into Ji Lin's arms, "Okay, don't refuse, come and help after the big deal."

Ji Lin's eyes blushed, he lowered his head quickly, and said in a low voice, "Okay, if you need to call us at any time, Xiaoyu and I will definitely come."

Ji Xiaoxiao responded with a smile, "Well, let's go back."

"Okay." Ji Lin took Ji Yu in one hand and the cantaloupe in the other and went home.

Ye Wuyan followed Ji Xiaoxiao, looked at the cantaloupe left in Ji Xiaoxiao's hand, and looked at Ji Xiaoxiao expectantly, "Miss, you have conjured something again."

Ji Xiaoxiao hummed, turned and entered the kitchen, "Wait, I'll peel and cut into pieces."

Ye Wuyan followed, dangling behind Ji Xiaoxiao's butt.

Ji Xiaoxiao quickly cut the cantaloupe, picked up a piece and put it to Ye Wuyan's mouth, "Ah, open your mouth."

Ye Wuyan couldn't wait for a long time. Looking at the cantaloupe handed to his mouth, he opened his mouth and put the pulp into his mouth, quickly swallowing the pulp in his mouth, "It's so sweet."

Ye Wuyan picked up a piece, imitating Ji Xiaoxiao, and put it next to Ji Xiaoxiao's mouth. Ji Xiaoxiao chuckled and ate it directly, "It's really sweet."

Ye Wuyan looked at Ji Xiaoxiao's snacks before continuing to eat it. He exclaimed from time to time that it was so sweet, and Ji Xiaoxiao couldn't stop laughing.

The two of you ate the whole cantaloupe one by one, and didn't pay attention when eating. After eating, the two of them burped at the same time, touched their belly, and smiled at each other.

Ji Xiaoxiao thought for a while, "Let's go, let's go out to digest, just in time to send two fruits to the village head's house."

Although the village chief's family didn't take much care of themselves before, they still treated Ye Wuyan very well. After a meal at the village chief's house before, Ji Xiaoxiao had a good impression of the village chief's family, and the village chief also helped him A lot of work, Ji Xiaoxiao kept it in mind.

Ye Wuyan hiccupped again, quickly covered his mouth, and blinked, "Okay, let's go to the village chief's uncle's house."

Ji Xiaoxiao carried a small basket on her back, put two cantaloupes in it, and was about to carry it on her back when Ye Wuyan quickly took it.

Ye Wuyan patted his chest, "I'm a man, let me carry things, the lady doesn't have to do this."

Ji Xiaoxiao hooked her lips, "Okay, then let me hold you, okay?"

Ye Wuyan carried the basket and said softly, "Okay." After speaking, he directly took Ji Xiaoxiao's hand by his side, and the two walked slowly towards the village chief's house.

The weather is good and the temperature is relatively low today. The villagers started working in the fields early, and Ji Xiaohour greeted the busy villagers in the fields from time to time.

Ji Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Wuyan beside him after greeting people again, "Wuyan, what kind of house do you like?"

Ye Wuyan tilted his head and thought hard, and finally shook his head, "I can't think of it, as long as the lady is in the house, it will be fine."

Ji Xiaoxiao laughed dumbly, "Okay, then listen to me."

Anyway, I have a lot of ideas about the house. After all, it is a house that I will live in for a long time or a lifetime. Ji Xiaoxiao feels that he is a hedonistic person, and the house must be built in accordance with his heart.

Ji Xiaoxiao touched his chin with an empty hand, and it seemed that he should talk to Li De when he came to repair the house.

The village chief’s house was not far away, and the two soon arrived at the village chief’s house. The village chief and his wife Li Feng were the only ones in the village chief’s house, and all the others were working in the fields.

The village chief looked at Ji Xiaoxiao and Ye Wuyan who came to the door, and said with a smile: "I was just about to go to your house to find you, who knew that you would come here."

Li Feng smiled and poured two bowls of white water for the two of them, "Come in and sit."

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled and took the water from Li Feng, "Thank you, auntie." She looked back at the village chief, "The village chief, you just said you were looking for us, but you have something to do?"

The village chief took a puff of dry cigarettes and smiled, "It's not a big deal, it's just that your house has found a tenant. It's the Chen Orion family that I mentioned a few days ago."

"Okay." Ji Xiaoxiao took a sip of water, "Do they know the price?"

"Yes, I told them 35 yuan a month, and they agreed, saying that they would rent for a year first."

Ji Xiaoxiao nodded, "Okay, when can I sign a contract?"

The rent of 35 cents a month is not low but not high. It is a medium price. You must know that the average farm family can earn [-] cents a month, which is not bad.

The village chief: "You can do it anytime. You can sign it now. The Chen Orion family also wants to move down the mountain quickly."

"Okay." Ji Xiaoxiao has no opinion on when to sign the contract, "Then sign it today, and their family can move in at any time."

The village chief frowned slightly, "Your uncle's family seems to want to move into your house. His eldest son's family has already moved in now."

Ji Xiaoxiao sneered, "You have to come out for me. The house is mine now, and they will pay me if they don't move."

"Okay, let's do it like this. I told them about the Chen Orion family. They know what to do."

"Yeah." Ji Xiaoxiao then opened the back basket, revealing the cantaloupe inside.

Ji Xiaoxiao took out the cantaloupe and put it on the table, "Village chief, this is the fruit we bought. It tastes good. You can eat it after peeling it. You can try it later."

Li Feng quickly waved his hand, "How can this be done? We haven't seen the fruit before. I'm afraid it's a rare item. It must have cost a lot of money. You can take it back and eat it yourself."

Ji Xiaoxiao shook his head with a smile, Ye Wuyan clasped his arms, "This is for the village chief and uncle, and my wife and I won't take it back, or I won't want your things in the future."

The village chief and Li Feng looked at each other, then laughed, and the village chief nodded and smiled: "That's fine, I'll be welcome."

"What's the matter, the village chief has accepted it, and Wuyan and I are happy." Ji Xiaoxiao quickly smiled.

Ji Xiaoxiao took another sip and continued: "There is one more thing I want to ask the village chief."

The main purpose of coming here today is not to send cantaloupe, but to inquire about the materials needed to build a house.

The village chief continued to smoke his dry cigarette and said with a smile, "Can you talk about it?"

Ji Xiaoxiao cleared his throat, "Wuyan and I want to rebuild a house, and want to ask the village chief, do you know there are bricks and tiles for sale there?"

"This is going to rebuild the house?" The village chief was really surprised.

Li Feng also looked at the two in surprise, "Where do you have money to build a house?"

Ji Xiaoxiao showed a happy smile, "We found the old ginseng left by Dr. Ye. After selling it for dozens of taels, we wanted to build a good house. The current house is afraid that it will collapse if it rains heavily."

Ji Xiao's novel is the truth. The house they live in now was built by Dr. Ye when he was young. It has been built for decades. It is definitely in a dilapidated state. Planning to build a house.

The village chief and Li Feng were stunned for a moment, and then they were happy for the two of them. The village chief thought for a while, "There is a Zhang Niu family at the entrance of Zhangjia Village, and the price is much cheaper than that in the town. Bricks are a penny a piece, and a tile is a penny a second. Pei, I don’t know if the current price has risen or not, and I haven’t bought it for a long time, you can ask.”

Ji Xiaoxiao nodded, "Okay, I'll ask tomorrow, and sign the lease contract with Chen Orion today."

Hearing this, the village chief also agreed, "I asked someone to find Chen Orion, just sign it with me, and be your witnesses."

Ji Xiaoxiao smiled at the village chief, "Thank you, the village chief."

"Hey, I'm still polite to you, uncle and I, wait." The village chief smiled and went out to find someone to bring a message to Chen Orion.
