Qi Lele has never tasted love. When she was a child, she was thin and small. Because of her background, she was always the target of bullying. Later, her grandmother sent her to various interest classes and she didn't have many friends or playmates.

While other young girls were discussing which boy in school was the handsomest and coolest, and which boy had the best grades, she was immersed in her homework, just so that she could have time to go home and help her grandmother do more things.

When she got to college, she had to be busy with work-study and scholarships, and had no time to think about anything else.

What's more, she still has space. Whenever she has some private time and space, she would like to dig in and dig in the soil.

As for love, can it be used as food? You haven’t reached the legal age of marriage yet, so why are you anxious?

Perhaps because of his background and childhood, Qi Lele believed that all relationships that were not predicated on marriage were just flirting! It was impossible to consider it before graduating from college.

In fact, this marriage with Xie Zian seemed to be exactly what she wanted. It not only had the protection of being a husband and wife, but also gave her enough time to slowly accept it.

Today's kiss came too suddenly.

His lips were licked by the warm tip of his tongue. Qi Lele trembled slightly and pushed him away. She subconsciously pursed her lips, trying to get rid of the numb and hot feeling.

The room was quiet, and Qi Lele seemed to be able to hear her own heart beating like thunder. The person she pushed away was standing not far away and didn't make a sound. She later realized that it didn't seem appropriate for her to do this.

After all, she and Xie Zian are husband and wife!

"You, didn't you promise me not to have children for the time being?"

Qi Lele, who lowered his head, didn't see the faint disappointment in Xie Zian's eyes disappear because of her words. She only heard his smiling voice: "Who told you that you can get pregnant if you kiss her?"

Qi Lele secretly glanced at him and saw that he didn't seem unhappy. She was secretly relieved. Then she felt that she was obviously being taken advantage of, so why were she still afraid of him being angry?

"I can't remember it either!"

Xie Zian laughed softly and walked to the table: "Grind it for me."

"good."

Speaking of which, Xie Zian is really a good teacher. Ever since he said he wanted to teach her to read, he would make time every night to urge her to read and write. After these days, Qi Lele has regained the feeling of practicing calligraphy.

There is a difference between being illiterate and being able to read and write. Qi Lele felt that Xie Zian should have noticed it, but he didn't mention it, so Qi Lele felt at ease and continued to pretend to be talented.

Grinding was also taught by Xie Zian, who stood behind her, hugged her, and taught her bit by bit, how much water to add, how to apply force, and at what speed.

Speaking of which, the two of them seemed to have had skin-to-skin contact for a long time. Xie Zian would behave affectionately towards her from time to time, and hugging her would almost become the norm. Why didn't she feel repulsed?

Obviously in the past, whenever a boy came a little closer, she would feel the hairs on her hair stand on end and her fists would itch.

Is this what is called fate?

Or is she actually a pretty girl?

Qi Lele was thinking wildly, but his hands kept moving.

Xie Zian looked up occasionally and saw someone looking like he was in a state of confusion, and couldn't help but laugh.

"alright."

Qi Lele came back to her senses and saw that Mo was already healed, so she quickly took a small spoon and scooped it into the plate next to her.

"Do you want to practice calligraphy now?"

Xie Zian shook his head: "I want to draw a picture."

Qi Lele said, "Then I'll go to Uncle Wang's courtyard and have a look."

"Go ahead."

Qi Lele turned around and went out. She didn't know what the person behind her was doing.

Xie Zian thought for a moment and then picked up the pen. With just a few strokes, a beautiful woman gradually appeared, her eyes moved, and her charming appearance appeared on the paper.

Perhaps even Xie Zian himself had never noticed how gentle his eyes were and how doting his smile was at this moment.

Qi Lele didn't even know. She left the yard and went directly to Wang Yuzhong's house.

Since the three people from the Du family successfully made the first jar of sesame oil and sesame paste, they went back to work in the Wang family's yard.

Seeing Qi Lele come in, the three of them had a flash of surprise in their eyes, but their faces were as usual.

Qi Lele took a look at the sesame oil and sesame paste they made. They were of good quality.

"I remembered that it would be better if I added some salt to the boiling water when adding it. Maybe you can try it."

"Okay, let's try a little less in the next tank."

Qi Lele nodded.

Seeing that she had a gentle personality, Du Qiuliang asked again: "Young madam, besides sesame, can this method be used on other crops?"

Qi Lele thought for a while and said: "Walnuts and peanuts seem to work, but I have never done it, and I don't know how much water should be added. You can give it a try when you have free time in the future."

Du Qiuliang responded yes.

Qi Lele only watched it for a while and then went to the backyard, where Aunt Wang was drying cotton seeds.

After looking around, Qi Lele moved a small stool over and prepared to carefully select cotton seeds.

Aunt Wang said hurriedly: "Just teach me and I will do it."

"I have nothing to do. Let's choose together."

Aunt Wang smiled and said: "Your clothes are so beautiful, what if they get dirty?"

Qi Lele carefully gathered the hem of her skirt and sat on the small stool: "It's okay, I just need to be more careful."

Aunt Wang stopped trying to persuade her and moved a small stool over: "How to choose?"

"The remaining cotton seeds should be mature and plump, uniform in size, and similar in shape and color." Qi Lele said, picking out a few to show to Aunt Wang: "Such as small seeds, shriveled seeds, tender seeds, broken seeds, etc."

We don’t want any seeds or insect-eaten seeds, and we don’t want any that are in bad shape.”

Aunt Wang kept it in mind and started picking.

"How many days will it take to dry out?"

"If the weather is good, let it sit in the sun for four or five days. Just turn it over two or three times a day. When you shake the cotton seeds, you can hear some noise inside."

"Is it ready to be planted after drying?"

Qi Lele hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Aunt Wang was thoughtful and couldn't help but ask: "What?"

Qi Lele said: "It stands to reason that after drying, one or two hundred cotton seeds should be planted first to see how much they can germinate, but this year it is too late. Even if not enough germinate, we can only plant them first and wait until next year.

"

"Most of the cotton seeds carefully selected in this way should be able to germinate, right?"

"Not necessarily, but if we can have a germination rate of 80%, that would be great."

Aunt Wang secretly took a breath: "Can we have an 80% germination rate? I heard them say that a 50% germination rate would be good."

This is not surprising. If the seedlings are planted directly in the field without selecting the seeds, the emergence rate will indeed be disastrous.

"I'm not sure either, so I'll have to try it before I know."

The two of them picked for a long time, and their waists were so tired that they roughly picked out the cotton seeds in this area: "Let's stop here today. We can pick again after four or five days of drying."

"Okay." Aunt Wang patted the dust on her body and said, "It's getting late. It's time to prepare dinner."

Thinking of Xie Ziyan and Xie Ziwen, Qi Lele said: "I'll cook tonight."

Aunt Wang didn't say anything, she just looked at her from top to bottom, and her meaning was self-evident.

Qi Lele smiled and said, "It won't take long to change clothes. Ziyan and Ziwen have worked hard these past two days. I'll get them something they like to eat."

Aunt Wang also laughed: "I'll give you a hand."
