nThen, he went to get their household registration certificate and gave it to Lin Xiaoyue.

nLin Xiaoyue left after thanking the village chief.

nBack home, Liu Shi held the household registration certificate that Lin Xiaoyue had brought back, and her eyes were filled with excitement.

nFrom today onwards, they would have nothing to do with the Lin family.

nLin Xiaoyue talked to her mother for a while before taking Lin Xiaozhi to see Li Xiao and the other two who were building the shed.

nThe first shed was completed, and the three of them were building the second one.

nLin Xiaoyue originally wanted to go and help, but she was stopped by Uncle Wang, who said that the three of them would be able to finish before dark.

nLin Xiaoyue could only help by the side, doing some work of delivering things.

nSeeing that Li Xiao’s movements were so swift that he worked as fast as Uncle Wang and Wang Shuanzi combined, she couldn’t hide her admiration for him.

nEven without his ability, his boss’ strength is still extraordinary…

nThe sky gradually darkened, and the three of them managed to finish building the second shed before it got dark.

nUncle Wang and Wang Shuanzi refused Lin Xiaoyue’s invitation for dinner and left after they finished their work.

nLin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao tidied up the thatched shed before taking Lin Xiaozhi home.

n“Xiaozhi, do you want to ride a big horse?” Glancing at Li Xiao, who was silent, Lin Xiaoyue suddenly picked up Lin Xiaozhi.

n“Yes!”

nThen, his sister sent him into Li Xiao’s arms.

nLi Xiao caught the little boy. Seeing that he was not afraid of him, the sense of alienation in his heart inexplicably faded a little.

nThen, he put him on his shoulder.

n“Hehehe, let’s ride! Thank you, brother Li Xiao!” The little boy was so happy that he started to giggle. He even thanked Li Xiao politely.

nHe could also ride a big horse and no longer have to envy the children in the village!

nNo one noticed that Li Xiao had a smile on his face at night.

nIn the Liu family’s house.

nLiu Shi lit up an oil lamp and took a portion of the food she had specially prepared for Xiao Qing. The rest of the people then gathered around the small table and began to eat.

nOn the table was a large pot of duck blood curd, a pot of braised offal with potatoes, a large plate of mixed pork, and then a bowl of rice.

nLi Xiao had been busy the entire afternoon, and the food was unexpectedly delicious. He accidentally finished four bowls of rice.

nThe rest of the people also ate a lot. The pot of rice was quickly finished.

n“I never thought that braised pork could be so delicious. It’s a pity that we don’t have chili seeds.” Liu Shi put down her bowl and said, somewhat unsatisfied.

nShe had been cooking for a few days and knew that her daughter had cooked with chili today.

nThe potatoes tasted really good when they were cooked with pork.

nLi Xiao looked at Lin Xiaoyue, his eyes filled with doubt.

nChili? Was that the red thing in the duck blood curd?

nThe taste of these dishes was very unique. They were delicious and went well with the rice. The more he ate, the more he wanted.

n“We do.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and glanced at Li Xiao.

n“The yellow grains in the chili are its seeds. We’ve been busy building houses recently, and we don’t have enough land, so I didn’t think about planting chilies. When the house is built, we’ll buy the barren land nearby and plant chilies there.”

n“Next year, we can also plant potatoes and sweet potatoes.”

n“The chili could be planted all year round, and the sweet potato would grow in symbiosis with the chili.”
