Chapter 227: Peach Eater
Li Xiaojia said that it has been raining for the past few days, and Xiao Yi saw many puddles on the road. The climate in Beitang County is rather strange, sometimes it is drought and sometimes it is flood.
Relatively speaking, the rainfall this year is relatively sufficient. It seems that it has not been long since it rained. Li Xiaojia drove carefully through those puddles.
The road is full of mud, and it will become muddy after a little rain. If there are a few more heavy rains, this road will really be impassable.
"I didn't understand why a poor place should start with road construction. Now I understand that if the roads are not good, everything you do will be useless."
Li Xiaojia finally drove through the muddiest part of the road, and the road ahead was a little better, but if the rain continued, it would be impossible to pass.
"The roads have become like this, people can't walk, not to mention the means of transportation, everything is blocked, it's strange to be poor."
"Hey, this village head is not in vain, have you awakened these days?"
"Awakening ass, I'm just thinking about it casually, I don't know if it's right or not, anyway, Meng Nana promised to build the road for you, so it's a big favor for you."
Li Xiaojia said, if the road is not built, the road will be completely impassable in a few days, and no matter how good the vegetables Xiao Yi grows, they can only be placed in the ground.
Xiao Yi remembered the matter of road construction, and since he was away for the past few days, he didn't know how the road was being repaired and how far it had progressed.
"By the way, how is the road construction going?"
"You finally realized with conscience that there is such a thing as road repairs. The road repairs are almost halfway done now. Although it has rained a lot, it doesn't have much impact on the construction vehicles."
Li Xiaojia said that Meng Nana also knew that Xiao Yi was anxious to fix the road after these few days of being in a hurry, so she raised the wages of the workers by half.
With money, everyone has the motivation to work, so the speed of road construction has been greatly accelerated. Today, it is just half of the repair, and it is estimated that in about three days, the road will be open.
Xiao Yi touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, because he had too many things to do, and he could only let others take care of him as a shopkeeper when growing vegetables.
"I didn't expect this woman to be so willing to spend the money. If the road construction is calculated in this way, there must be a lot of investment."
Li Xiaojia sighed. Although she didn't understand why Meng Nana made such a decision, road construction is indeed a good thing for Anning Bay.
"Don't forget, you promised Meng Nana to bring her younger brother out. If you don't do well, Meng Nana will probably be able to demolish your house."
"Demolish it. Anyway, my house is just a few broken houses. I will build a new one after demolishing it. This will save me from demolishing it."
"You said it lightly. Meng Nana is not easy to mess with. City H held a taekwondo competition, and Nana won a championship!"
Li Xiaojia said that others may not know these things, but Li Xiaojia is very clear about what Meng Nana has done and what inhuman deeds she has done, she is very clear in her heart.
Xiao Yi frowned, the corners of his mouth twitched from time to time, and he took a few breaths.
"It's no wonder that this woman has been single. If anyone marries her as a wife, it's a little bit of a fault, and they may even die."
"Now you know, Nana is not comparable to ordinary women."
"Cut!" Xiao Yi said disdainfully.
It's just a woman. A man will be afraid of a woman only if he cares about a woman. If he doesn't care, he will think of any way.
"What? Are you not convinced?"
"It's so easy to conquer a woman. You can either win her or sleep with her. Either way can win her. Women... still need a man after all."
Xiao Yi said, Li Xiaojia was so angry that she reached out and twisted Xiao Yi's arm a few times, listening to Xiao Yi's serious nonsense, but couldn't find a reason to refute.
"You are a rogue, next time I will tell Nana to keep her away from you!"
While the two of them were talking, they had already returned to Anning Bay. The road on the side of Anning Bay had already been repaired, and this section of road was repaired by Chen Xiong.
The newly built road happened to be the road connected to Chen Xiongxiu, and it has already been repaired for a while, extending forward.
Xiao Yi could vaguely see that there were several engineering vehicles in front, transporting the sand and soil for road construction, and the road roller was constantly rolling over the road surface to ensure that the repaired road was solid.
Li Xiaojia drove Xiao Yi home, and he planned to go back first. Xiao Shan happened to be in the yard, saw Li Xiaojia coming, and asked Li Xiaojia to come in and drink some water before leaving.
During the days when Xiao Yi was not at home, Xiao Shan was the only one in the yard, which seemed a bit empty. Fortunately, Li Xiaojia came over when he had time to chat with Xiao Shan for a while.
After a long time, Li Xiaojia and Xiao Shan became acquainted, and also knew that Xiao Yi and Xiao Ya were not real siblings, Xiao Ya was a child picked up by Xiao Shan from outside.
An old man's life is hard, but seeing Xiao Ya being abandoned, and gritted his teeth to bring up two children, this credit is no longer easy.
Of course Li Xiaojia would not tell Xiao Ya about these things, Xiao Ya still thought that she and Xiao Yi were siblings, and Xiao Yi also knew about this, but he never mentioned it to Xiao Ya.
The freshly picked peaches in the villagers' yard are sweet and delicious. Xiaoshan has a good reputation in Anning Bay. The villagers will miss Xiaoshan when they have something, and send some to Xiaoshan.
"Come on, Village Chief Li eats a peach. This peach is grown from a peach tree planted by the villagers. Although it is not big, it is very sweet."
Xiao Shan washed four or five peaches, put them on a plate, and said politely, asking Li Xiaojia to take one.
After a long time, Li Xiaojia became acquaintances with Xiao Yi's family, so he picked up a peach unceremoniously, and shook the water stains on it.
There are a lot of hairs on the peaches, even after washing with clean water, Li Xiaojia's pink lips were just about to bite off when Xiao Yi said something.
"It's so hairy, why don't you talk, let me help you."
Xiao Yi took the peaches from Li Xiaojia's hand, went home and found a bowl, put the peaches in it, and poured out some boiling water.
Soak in boiling water for a while, the outer skin of the peach will be torn off with a slight pull, and then the skin will disappear, revealing the smooth flesh inside.
At this moment Xiao Shan was busy putting out the remaining peaches at home, and the basket was going to be returned to the villagers. After Xiao Yi tore off the peach skin, he handed it to Li Xiaojia.
"You guys have quite a lot of methods. Eating peaches and peeling them is the first time I've seen someone do this."
"Silly boy, there are many ways to eat peaches, just like this, licking it with your tongue, turning it back and forth, right, right, that's it."
