Chapter 619: Chapter 619: How would you take the lead?

“You’re right, Sisi, you’re so insightful! Today, the further I went west, the more locusts I saw in the fields. I thought about spreading your ideas when I went to the governmental office.”

“That’s good.”

Liu Sisi tidied up the little clothes and diapers she had changed: “We have to hurry. The other day, I saw a large swarm of locusts flying up with a buzz. If we wait for the locust eggs in the fields to hatch, it will be disastrous!”

This remark made Di Yelei tense up: “You’re right, we have to distribute the remedies before the locust eggs hatch!”

“Yes! Especially with the locust eggs, they must be thoroughly dug up, so we don’t give the locusts a chance!”

“Don’t worry, I know.”

Di Yelei nodded. Seeing that the children had fallen asleep, he gently embraced Liu Sisi and walked out of the Waterside Pavilion, closing the door behind them. He nodded to Ms. Gao and the nanny outside the door, then walked past the two towards the bedroom.

“By the way, I heard that deep-fried grasshoppers are very fragrant. Our Lord Captain loves them and can’t be happy without deep-fried grasshoppers. I wonder if it’s true?” Liu Sisi’s eyes blinked innocently.

“When did I like to eat…”

Di Yelei suddenly realized and after a moment of silence, he nodded helplessly: “Yes, indeed! Your husband loves locusts the most!”

“Really? Haven’t you ever eaten locusts before?”

Liu Sisi leaned in curiously: “I thought children from poor families had all eaten that stuff!”

“I have eaten them, how could I not have…”

Di Yelei fell into his memories: “When I was a child, no one in my family really paid attention to me. When I was starving, I’d catch the locusts in the fields. I would choose the bigger oil-fried ones, skewer them with a bamboo stick, and roast them over a fire. The locusts would make a hissing sound and turn golden yellow, and their wings would also be burned off.”

“Then, I would pick up the locusts, grab their tail ends and pull. After being burned, the locusts’ intestines would become a thin thread that would be pulled out along with the tail end. Then, I would remove the remaining locust legs, rub the body with my hands, and only the fragrant locust meat was left. When I put it in my mouth and chewed, it tasted crispy and very much like roast chicken…”

As Di Yelei recalled these things, an enigmatic smile appeared on his face, and it was unclear what he was thinking.

“Hearing you say that, I also want to try it myself.”

Looking at Liu Sisi’s curious eyes, he sighed: “At that time, Ruo Ning would follow me around, and she didn’t eat few roasted locusts. That girl was allergic to locusts, but she ate them knowing she was allergic. I got beaten up so many times because of that!”

As soon as Ruo Ning was mentioned, Liu Sisi’s smile vanished. The memories of the past surged in her heart.

“Are you still holding a grudge over Ruo Ning causing you to fall off the cliff back then?”

Di Yelei reached out to grab her hand and rubbed it against his beard, causing an itchiness.

“Stop it! It tickles!”

Liu Sisi quickly retracted her hand, rubbed the back of it, and gave him a glare: “At that time, I was really angry, but who can blame her? She’s your little sister! Besides, we don’t know where they’ve moved to now, so what’s the point of holding a grudge? Let the past be the past!”

“Are you really thinking that? This doesn’t sound like you.” Di Yelei laughed several times before stopping. He wanted to say something more, but ultimately said nothing.

“Nonsense! That’s exactly what I think! Humph, I hate you!”

Feeling ashamed when her thoughts were exposed, Liu Sisi’s face flushed red. She pounced on Di Yelei, pretending to pull his beard.
