Since the partner hasn't arrived yet, Shen Qingqing temporarily arranges the old ghost to cook noodles in the kitchen.
When I first heard that I was going to cook noodles, Lao Gui was very resistant.
"I am a great royal chef. You want the royal chef to cook noodles? This is not your way of using the ingredients to the best of your ability!"
Later, smelling the fragrant mushroom oil in the kitchen, the old ghost was so happy that he couldn't bear to put down the colander.
"Noodles are great. I love cooking noodles the most. I feel like I can do it for another two hundred years!"
Hongying, who was rolling out the noodles, squinted at it and said, "You feel so happy when you smell it, can you be a bit of a ghost?"
The old ghost snorted arrogantly: "I won't argue with you. A ghost who can't eat has no soul."
Ever since a certain female ghost was imprisoned in the kitchen as a dough roll, her temperament has changed drastically, and her catchphrase has changed from "brother and sister" to "your grandma and me", "can you have some potential" and other jargon.
Except for Shen Qingqing, whom she didn't dare to provoke, the other ghosts suffered greatly.
The two ghosts were busy arguing and bickering in the kitchen.
Now that he was free, Mr. He felt a little at a loss.
In order to prevent her from being too bored, Shen Qingqing gave Hongying and Laogui Zhang Appearance Charms respectively so that the three of them could talk and relieve their boredom.
There was a sweet-scented osmanthus mother and her son at the food stall, and there was no need for her at all. Shen Qingqing, who had nothing to do, accepted Meng Yuan's invitation and came to the mountain to visit his wild fungus planting base.
In autumn, the weather is much cooler than before, and the wild fruits on the mountains are gradually ripening.
Kiwi fruit, chestnut, August melon, goat's milk... Shen Qingqing ate while walking and stuffed things into Meng Yuan's backpack. She was not idle along the way.
"Pick up some chestnuts and make chestnut stewed chicken tonight!"
"Wow, this tree has a lot of kiwi fruits. I want to carry the tree home...don't cut it down, I'm just kidding."
"These August melons are so ripe. It's a pity that I can't eat them anymore. Let's take them home and give them to the children to try."
"..."
Meng Yuan didn't say much during the whole process. He climbed trees to pick fruits and drilled into thorn bushes to pick fruits. His whole body was covered with grass leaves and small thorns.
Shen Qingqing smiled and helped him clean the broken grass on his clothes, "You don't have to pick it if you can't pick it. You don't have to work so hard."
Meng Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at the corners of her raised lips, feeling a little itchy in his heart, "It's rare that you are happy. It's not troublesome to pick a fruit."
"If you like these things, we can come here more often in the future."
"It's not necessary to come here often." Shen Qingqing stood on tiptoe to pick off the dead branches tangled in his hair, and said with a smile: "Picking it once in a while is fun, but if it happens more often, it becomes a burden."
"I remember there was a wild vine in the cave, you might like it."
Meng Yuan patted the grass blades from her sleeves, held her hand, and walked slowly up the mountain.
The two arrived at their destination quickly. The entrance to the cave was covered with vines and shrubs. If you didn't look carefully, you could easily miss it.
After passing through the narrow entrance, the world inside suddenly opens up. It is simply a large natural villa, and it also has its own skylights and drainage system.
Meng Yuan had already cleared away the weeds and gravel in the cave, and spread it with culture material made of cottonseed husks, wheat bran, sawdust and other materials.
In some places, the fungi have grown gray caps, which are about the size of a fingernail and look strangely cute.
There is a flowing stream on the left side of the cave, and the vines Meng Yuan mentioned grow on the bank.
It is the season when grapes are ripe, and bunches of small purple grapes hanging on the branches are particularly pleasing.
Shen Qingqing picked two bunches, rinsed them twice in the stream, and couldn't wait to stuff them into her mouth. The grapes were not sour at all, sweet and refreshing, and rich in juice.
She squatted on the rocks and ate while teasing Meng Yuan with a smile: "Expert in cultivating bacteria, I will come to buy your mushrooms in a few days. Remember to give me a preferential price."
Meng Yuan handed her the washed grapes and pinched her cheek. He didn't know which muscle was wrong, but he said out of nowhere: "If you don't want money, just pay with flesh."
Shen Qingqing was stunned. She had a grape in her mouth and forgot to chew it. The grape juice flowed down her lips to her chin, leaving a bright red mark.
Like a red plum blooming leisurely in the white snow, it is breathtakingly beautiful.
Meng Yuan's eyes darkened, he leaned over and kissed her lips, biting the remaining half of the grape.
The sweetness of the fruit slides through the teeth and onto the tip of the tongue.
The mountain breeze was cool, but their cheeks were burning hot.
After a long time, Meng Yuan moved the corners of his lips, rubbed her lips with his thumb, and uttered four words with a smile: "It's really sweet."
I don’t know if it’s the grapes that are sweet.
This kiss is still sweet.
Shen Qingqing glared at him angrily, stuffed another handful of grapes into her mouth, and complained vaguely: "Meng Yuan, I found out that you are a liar."
Meng Yuan laughed, "Why did I lie to you?"
Shen Qingqing raised her phoenix eyes and glanced at his red cheeks, muttering in a low voice: "He has the face of an innocent little sheep, but he is actually a rough wolf."
However, she seemed to be heartless, trying to tease him again and again, trying to become the big bad wolf that conquered the little sheep.
Isn't this pure clown behavior?
There was a hint of grievance in Meng Yuan's voice, "I was wronged by my husband, and I have a loving wife in my arms. As a man, if there is no reaction at all, wouldn't it be more problematic?"
"What you said seems to make sense."
Shen Qingqing responded casually and glanced under him unconsciously.
Meeting her sly eyes, Meng Yuan's heart trembled, and a stream of hot blood surged from his heart to his limbs.
Meng Yuan raised his hand to cover her eyes, his warm breath sprayed on her cheeks, and his breath was as hot as the burning weather in July.
"Little girl, don't look around."
Shen Qingqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she understood something, and her face became extremely hot for a while.
After a while, I poked his arm and asked, "Are you okay?"
Meng Yuan let go of his hand and pecked her cheek, "It's okay."
It's just a little uncomfortable.
Seeing his forbearing expression, Shen Qingqing cleared her throat and whispered: "Actually, you don't have to hold it in all the time..."
Although she lived to the age of twenty-eight in her previous life without even holding a man's hand, it was just a matter of choosing a partner. If she met the right person, she would get it, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about.
What's more, they are a legitimate couple.
As if he didn't expect her to say such a thing, Meng Yuan looked deeply into her eyes, and his voice was low and slow, which was especially pleasant to the ears along with the sound of the rushing stream.
"Actually, I will marry you only because of an old man who suddenly appeared..."
He recounted all the things he had experienced before getting married, including those unspeakable selfish thoughts.
"Marriage should be a union between two people who love each other, not a commodity to satisfy one person's selfish desires."
"So I want to do it all over again and make you marry me willingly and with a smile on your face."
"Qingqing, maybe I am not the best man in the world, but I will definitely love you well and do my best to bring you the best life."
"Please wait for me, okay?"
Shen Qingqing kissed his lips, her bright phoenix eyes sparkling with water.
"Ok, I will wait for you." This chapter has been completed!
