The pastoral life of the grass tribe chief

weekend.

The wind rustles through the wheat fields, a breathtaking sight.

Lu Yao carried a bunch of dog-ear grass towards the house, and a group of handsome men and beautiful women walked towards him.

Lu Chang'an and his sister Lu Changyu led the way.

It was Lu Jijun and Gao Lang.

"This is my little brother, a handsome guy. If you like him, feel free to go for it, don't be shy."

Lu Jijun said to his female colleagues in the store.

Besides her classmate's younger sister, there were three female employees, all young and beautiful with incredibly smooth skin.

They were all dressed in simple and comfortable new summer clothes, adding a beautiful scene to the beautiful Wumutang.

As for the male compatriots, besides Gao Lang, there was only one handsome guy with curly hair.

"Handsome, can I take a picture with you?"

Two of the beautiful girls ran towards Lu Yao, their eyes sparkling.

Another beautiful woman was standing next to a handsome man with curly hair; they must be a couple.

Despite his reluctance, Lu Yao still posed for photos with the two beautiful women and added them as WeChat friends.

Lu Chang'an and Lu Changyu, brother and sister, covered their mouths and chuckled to themselves.

Lu Yao glared at the brother and sister.

The brother and sister made faces at him.

"This is houttuynia cordata, I love eating it cold."

The petite beauty was overjoyed when she saw the dog-ear grass in Lu Yao's hand.

Dog-ear grass, also known as houttuynia cordata, is the famous houttuynia cordata online. It is also called fish mint, dog heart grass, and dog spot grass.

People in southern Guangdong rarely eat the rhizomes; they mostly use the leaves to make soup.

"I'll make a cold dish of houttuynia cordata for lunch."

"What do you all like to eat? What are your dietary restrictions? Let me see if I can make it."

Lu Yao asked how many people were there.

"I brought them here today to try your sashimi and chrysanthemum greens with mackerel head soup. Everything else is up to you."

Lu Jijun said.

"Then I'll go back and prepare. You guys have fun, and I'll let you know when it's ready."

"By the way, some of the guavas are ripe, you can pick them and eat them, but be careful of caterpillars."

Lu Yao pointed to the guava tree.

Several beautiful women were initially excited to pick guavas, but upon hearing that there were caterpillars, they were too scared to go.

"I'll go up and pick them; you can just gather them from under the tree."

Lu Chang'an volunteered.

"There are nets under the guava trees. Use the nets to catch them so they don't fall into the pond."

Lu Yao said that he would go back first.

Lu Chang'an was at the age where he loved to show off, and he rushed towards the guava tree at top speed.

He walked around under the tree, and when he saw any caterpillars, he used a dry branch to pick them up and drown them in the pond.

Gao Lang and his group arrived at the foot of the tree.

Apart from Gao Lang, the others turned pale upon seeing the caterpillars struggling in the pond and dared not approach the tree.

"You're afraid of caterpillars too."

Seeing that Lu Changyu was also too scared to come forward, Lu Jijun's younger sister laughed.

"If he, a grown man, is afraid, isn't it normal for me, a little girl, to be afraid?"

Lu Changyu looked at the curly-haired handsome man with a hint of resentment.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"When I was a child, a caterpillar fell on my neck, causing a neck full of red spots and rashes. It was extremely painful, and I've been afraid of it ever since."

The curly-haired handsome guy was embarrassed.

"I've had that experience too."

The petite beauty said.

"The guavas on this tree are bigger and prettier than those elsewhere, and they look delicious."

"That's what the curly-haired handsome guy's girlfriend said."

"You pick the ones below."

Lu Chang'an pointed to the guava growing low to the ground, climbed up, picked one, wiped it clean with his clothes, and ate it with relish.

Gao Lang came to the tree, picked up a net and placed it on a branch. Lu Chang'an picked one and threw it into the net.

Gao Lang picked a few from under the tree and shared them with everyone.

Lu Jijun took out a pack of tissues from his bag and handed them out to everyone.

"Can I eat it without peeling it?"

The tall, beautiful woman wiped the guava clean with a tissue, then hesitated.

"Yes, our guavas are never sprayed with pesticides."

"We pick them, clean them with our hands, and then eat them."

Lu Jijun took a bite as she spoke, then froze.

"What's wrong? Is it still sour?"

Everyone wanted to eat, but hesitated when they saw her like this.

"No, it was really delicious."

"I've eaten this fruit a few times before, but it's never tasted this good."

As Lu Jijun spoke, he took another big bite, as if he had eaten a ginseng fruit, with a look of pure enjoyment on his face.

"It's sweeter, more fragrant, and has a softer, more glutinous texture than what I've had before."

Gao Langdao.

"Mine is just ripe, so it's crisper."

"That's what the curly-haired handsome guy said."

"Sister Xiaojun, I believe you now. The food here is better than anywhere else."

The others nodded in agreement.

The more they ate, the more delicious it seemed, and their fear of caterpillars lessened. They went to pick ripe guavas, not bothering to wipe them clean with tissues, but simply rubbing them clean with their hands before stuffing them into their mouths.

Lu Yao went back to cook rice and stir-fry dishes by himself.

Back inside, the living room coffee table was piled high with various fruits and milk, and the kitchen was stocked with a lot of vegetables and meat. Judging from the price tags on them, it was clear that Lu Jijun and his group had brought them.

In southern Guangdong, when visiting someone's home, it's usually enough to bring a few apples, a box of milk, or a box of biscuits; there's no need to go to great lengths to buy expensive gifts.

No one will say anything if you go empty-handed, even if you're familiar with the place.

For the owner, the best gift is simply for people to come.

Lu Jijun must have told them that they didn't need to buy so many things.

They probably felt embarrassed to buy so little since it was their first time visiting, especially since Lu Yao had his 91-year-old grandparents.

Lu Yao readily accepted their kindness, saying he would reciprocate with some nice gifts when they returned.

Lu Yao put down the dog-ear grass, put rice in to cook, went to catch a crisp grass carp, caught a big shad, picked some chrysanthemum greens from the field, and started to kill the fish.

Why did you come back alone first?

Lu Yao was cleaning fish when he saw Gao Lang return alone, carrying guavas wrapped in his clothes.

"I'll come back and learn to cook from you."

Gao Lang placed the guava on the coffee table, washed his hands, and watched Lu Yao kill the fish.

"Watching more is useless; you have to do it yourself."

Lu Yao handed the knife to Gao Lang and gave him his seat.

"Your cooking skills are good."

Lu Yao could tell from his skill in cleaning fish that he often cooked.

"Your older sister said my cooking skills are utter garbage compared to yours."

Gao Lang sighed.

That's true.

Lu Yao washed the chrysanthemum greens and nodded.

"You Lu family members never know how to comfort people."

Gao Lang was severely impacted.

Is comforting someone helpful?

Lu Yao countered with a question.

"It's really useless."

Upon reflection, Gao Lang realized that this was indeed the case.

Those who can accept it don't need comforting, and those who can't accept it won't accept comforting either.

After washing the chrysanthemum greens, Lu Yao washed the dog-ear grass. The roots and stems were used for a cold salad, and the leaves were used to make pork lung soup.

"Xiao Gao, you're a guest, how can I let you kill the fish?"

Lu Lide was riding his motorcycle with Wang Xiurong back from the town market when he saw Gao Lang cleaning fish. He felt bad and glared at his youngest son.

"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, you're back."

"It's nothing. I'm just killing time anyway. It's something I have to do myself. It has nothing to do with you, brother."

Gao Langdao.

"You're here, why did you buy so much stuff?"

"We have everything now, so don't buy anything from us in the future."

The couple felt even more guilty seeing that there was fruit, milk, vegetables, and meat.

"I didn't buy it; it was Xiaojun's friend who bought it."

"It would be embarrassing for them not to buy anything since it's their first time visiting."

"They went to Shiquangou to find their grandparents."

Gao Langdao.

The couple didn't say anything more.

The couple had grown accustomed to Gao Lang's affectionate way of addressing them during their time together in Huacheng.

The Gao family and the second brother's family were as close as family, and the Gao family members all addressed the second brother's family as family.

In their eyes, Gao Lang and Lu Jijun were a match made in heaven, but the two juniors didn't seem to have any special feelings for each other and usually treated each other like siblings.
