Xu Mingyuan also did not sit idle. He brushed a layer of oil on the grill before letting Xiao Yangzhi put the meat slices on it.

"The fire hasn't come up yet, there's no need to turn it over."

Seeing that Xiao Yangzhi had just spread the meat slices all over the grill, he lined up to start flipping them over. After turning them over once, it seemed like he was going to do it again. Xu Mingyuan felt that he should lend a hand.

Seeing Xu Mingyuan fiddling with the food with chopsticks, Yang Zhi hugged her knees and did not disturb him.

"The fire in the middle is big, so if you see oil dripping, move it to the side. Grilling meat is easier than scrambling eggs. As long as the meat is fresh and cooked to medium to medium, you can eat it. Look, this one is good. Try it."

Xu Mingyuan picked up a piece of sizzling lamb and put it into her dipping sauce dish.

"Brother, you eat first."

Yang Zhi held the mutton in one hand and held it in the other hand, then handed it to Xu Mingyuan.

"Who taught you this? We are so familiar with each other, don't be so hypocritical, just eat yours."

Xu Mingyuan frowned, took a piece of lettuce, put a piece of pork belly and garlic slices on it, dipped it in some sauce and wrapped it up.

"I'm not..."

Yang Zhi felt a little disappointed. She chewed the mutton carefully but couldn't taste anything.

"Open your mouth."

"Ah...well."

As soon as Yang Zhi opened her mouth, a bunch of lettuce leaves were stuffed into her mouth. The aroma of oil mixed with the freshness and crispness of the lettuce, with a hint of spicy garlic, spread on her taste buds.

Yang Zhi narrowed her eyes, smiled vaguely and said, "It's delicious!"

"Is it?"

Seeing her cheerful look, Xu Mingyuan raised his eyebrows.

I wrapped another piece of pork belly and ate it, but I felt that it didn’t taste as good as the one in the barbecue restaurant.

Hanging out with Xu Jun and Yang Hongyu, little Yang Zhi would go hungry for nine meals in three days. It seemed that he had never eaten anything delicious.

However, when you have a barbecue buffet in the suburbs, the atmosphere is what matters, and it feels pretty good.

Under the guidance of Xu Mingyuan, Xiao Yangzhi quickly mastered the technique. As long as the meat slices sizzled and oil began to ooze out, it meant that they were almost cooked.

After eating for a while, Yang Zhi secretly glanced at him, picked up a piece of beef, dipped it in some dry ingredients, and passed it to him.

"Brother, taste this piece of meat and see if it's cooked."

Xu Mingyuan ate it casually, chewed it and said, "Well, this is cooked."

"Oh."

Yang Zhi nodded heavily, she already understood in her heart.

As long as I don't do it too deliberately, my brother won't notice my little movements.

After chatting for a while, Yang Zhi picked up a piece of pork skin and asked, "Is this piece cooked?"

"It's ready."

Xu Mingyuan opened his mouth, took it, and nodded.

After a while.

"Brother, what about this one?"

"Ah."

“This piece…”

"This piece is not cooked yet, eh? Are you here to let me test the poison on you?"

Xu Mingyuan tried hard for a long time but failed to chew a piece of heart tube, so he spat it out and threw it into the river to feed the fish.

Yang Zhi's cheeks turned red. Knowing that she was about to attract attention, she stopped feeding the fish.

But Yang Zhi was still very happy in her heart. She asked for very little, just a little bit was enough...

Caressing her bloated belly, Yang Zhi didn't eat any more, but Xu Mingyuan stuffed a tomato into her mouth and told her to eat more vegetables to help digest the food.

Yang Zhi was a little confused. How could she help digestion if she kept eating after she was full? But she still took small bites of the tomato and swallowed it slowly.

While with the other hand, she would turn the barbecue over from time to time, and put it into Xu Mingyuan's plate when it was cooked. After the tomatoes were eaten, she would pick up the lettuce leaves to help wrap them and then continue to hand them to him.

Xu Mingyuan gladly accepted Xiao Yangzhi's help. He no longer had to do it himself. He just leaned on the stone and moved the chopsticks.

As the sun sets, the shade of the trees can no longer block the sunlight.

The riverside is cool, the sun is not glaring, and the breeze is very refreshing.

After living a fast-paced life for so long, Xu Mingyuan had forgotten how long it had been since he had felt so comfortable. After a year of settling down, he had become calmer.

If you are tired, just lie down at home for a day and don’t think about anything.

If you really have nothing to do, you can also go to the company. Relying on your age advantage, you can easily decline those insincere social engagements without worrying about making the other party unhappy.

Or like now, go out for a walk and see the scenery.

The most valuable thing is that there are small willow branches next to the straw hat gently shaking, bringing a refreshing and cool breeze.

I'm afraid that even the wealthy landlords hundreds of years ago could not compare to the leisurely life I have now.

Xu Mingyuan digested the food for a while, poured the remaining meat onto the grill, and forced Xiao Yangzhi to eat two more pieces. He himself couldn't eat any more meat, so he broke off a corn stalk and continued to grill it on the charcoal.

"Tsk, take it, this is the last corn, you won't eat it after you finish it."

Xu Mingyuan inserted the chopsticks into the corn cob, and when he saw Xiao Yangzhi pulling her hand back, he pulled it over to her and put it in her hand.

"it is good……"

This is a common practice for parents to force their children to eat, but Yang Zhi had never experienced this and just felt a little embarrassed.

Yang Zhi, whose hands were covered in oil, didn't care. He just nibbled the corn in small bites, trying to eat it all.

In the distance, some parents were taking their children to play in the river. Xu Mingyuan gave up the idea of ​​throwing the corn cobs into the river, threw them into the bag, and walked to the river to wash his hands.

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi picking up the garbage, Xu Mingyuan called out to her, "Why are you cleaning up right after eating? Why are you so diligent? Let's clean up together when we leave later."

After saying that, Xu Mingyuan took off his shoes. The river water, which had been exposed to the sun for a whole day, was not cold at all at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and the water near the shore was still slightly warm.

I felt that the stones were not particularly painful, so I walked into the river. When I felt the water was cool, I poured water on my arms and legs and washed my hair as well.

After drying his hair and standing up, Xu Mingyuan let out a long breath.

Just two words: free!

Yang Zhi looked at Xu Mingyuan standing comfortably in the river, thought for a moment, then found a clean stone by the river and sat down.

He took off his shoes and socks and placed them neatly aside. After testing the temperature of the river water with his toes, he buried his white, tender and smooth insteps in the water.

The water temperature was very comfortable. Yang Zhi rolled up his trouser legs, stretched out his slender legs, and squinted his eyes comfortably.

"Brother, come here."

Seeing Xu Mingyuan wading back in the river, Yang Zhi took great effort to move a stone and level it so that he could sit over there.

Xu Mingyuan nodded and sat down next to her.

"Brother, can I take a nap for a while?"

Yang Zhi looked at her eagerly.

"Then you go to sleep."

"Ah."

Yang Zhi could not hide the joy in her tone. She leaned on Xu Mingyuan, lifted her feet from the river, and placed them on a warm stone to warm them.

Drops of water slid down her round toes, leaving water marks on the stone.

The soft light from the setting sun cast a layer of gold on her body, making her cheeks look even softer.

Realizing that Xiao Yangzhi was about to fall backwards, Xu Mingyuan quickly supported her and let her lie on his lap.

Yang Zhi fell softly into his arms, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, but her eyelids were very heavy and she couldn't open them.
