Chapter 9: Watermelon (Ask for Recommendation Votes)

"Hey, what's the matter, is the little pig arched?" He Sihai looked at the mess in the carrot field and asked deliberately.

"Hee-hee, I plucked the radish and ate it. Momoko smirked.

"Is it delicious?"

He Sihai didn't blame her, a four-year-old child, what can you ask of her?

"It's not delicious, I like tomatoes. Momoko said happily.

The tomato in her mouth is a tomato.

Half of the field is planted with tomatoes and half with carrots.

This has also become a reserve base for peach snacks.

When she was hungry and hungry, she came back here to pick some and pluck some.

He Sihai squatted and looked in the tomato stalk, not a single red one was gone, and even the slightly larger green one was gone.

"I'm sorry, I'm done eating. Momoko was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, it was originally for peaches. He Sihai gently touched the head of the little mushroom.

Peach's little head rubbed against He Sihai's palm.

It's good to have a father, she doesn't need to be alone anymore, she's so happy.

"Peaches, do you want to eat watermelon?" He Sihai asked with his eyes on Lintian.

The adjacent field is full of large, round watermelons, which look very attractive.

Momoko nodded subconsciously.

Then he remembered something, and hurriedly grabbed He Sihai's arm and said nervously: "No, a good boy can't steal other people's things." ”

Every time she came to the field, she had to stand on the ridge for a long time, so she wanted to eat big watermelon.

But Dad said that a good child can't just take other people's things.

The big watermelon belongs to the second uncle's family, not the peaches' family, so peaches can't be eaten.

"Yes, you can't just take someone else's, but we can go to the second uncle and buy one, okay?"

"Good. "Now Momoko is happy.

Then urged: "Then let's go to the second uncle." ”

The second uncle's name is He Mancang, and he is not Peach's own uncle, but he is just called that.

"Then go to him now. He Sihai picked her up and said.

"I can't wait, I think it would be nice if the second uncle suddenly came to the field now. Peaches said excitedly.

This is what a child should be.

"Haha, look at your urgency, how can you be so ......"

He Sihai looked at her anxious little appearance and laughed.

But that's not the end of the story.

I heard someone behind me: "The four seas are back." ”

"Uh......"

He Sihai turned around and found that He Mancang was wearing a straw hat and carrying a basket from the ridge.

"Second uncle. ”

He Sihai's face was full of surprise, and he hurriedly shouted.

"Peach, come, the second uncle invites you to eat watermelon. He Mancang put down the basket and walked to the watermelon field and beckoned to the peaches.

Peach glanced at He Sihai.

He Sihai put her down, pulled her over and said, "Second uncle, you sell all watermelons, how can I eat you for nothing, how much is it, I'll give you money." ”

He Sihai said this.

He Mancang was angry.

"Did you slap me in the face? A village eats a watermelon and asks for money, but I can't say it, and others don't know how to bury me. ”

"Second uncle, I didn't mean that. ”

"What do you mean? I won't give you food, I won't sell you, I'll give peaches to eat, peaches, come to the second uncle. He Mancang beckoned again.

He Sihai smiled and didn't speak again, but gently pushed on the back of Peache's head and asked her to step forward.

"Second uncle. Momoko walked over, craned her neck, and screamed obediently.

"Hey~" He Mancang responded happily and touched her little head.

Then he said: "What a good boy, the second uncle picked the biggest and sweetest big watermelon for us peaches to eat." ”

Then he bent down and began to flip the watermelon vine, turning left and right.

"Peaches are so young, and your grandma is not in good health, how can you rest assured that you can leave them at home and go out to work, and you want me to say, you come back this time, stay at home honestly, take care of Peaches and grandma, and don't go out......"

He Mancang flipped the watermelon and taught him a lesson.

"Second uncle, I can't help it......" He Sihai sighed and said.

He Tao and his wife originally had some savings, but after they died, the funeral expenses were spent.

As for the money of the white banquet, the countryside is different from the city, and those in their thirties and fifties will not be able to return their original costs at all.

In addition, my grandmother is sick, and the family has long been emptied, and I still owe a lot of money outside.

That's why He Sihai had to go out to work.

He Mancang also knew He Sihai's difficulties, and he didn't say anything more.

Instead, he changed the topic and said: "I told Peaches a few times that if you want to eat watermelon, you have to go to Erbo's field to pick it, but she is really a good child, except for meeting her and giving her twice, she has never been in my field......"

In He Mancang's words, there is no praise for peaches.

He Sihai didn't feel very happy when he heard it in his heart, but was slightly sour.

"Here, take this. ”

He Mancang picked a big watermelon, hugged it and said.

Momoko immediately stretched out her arm to catch it.

He Mancang smiled and let her go: "You can't do it, let my brother take it." ”

As he spoke, he stuffed the watermelon into He Sihai's arms.

"Thank you, Second Uncle. He Sihai was a little moved.

"A watermelon, what is there to thank. As he spoke, he bent down and picked another one.

"Second uncle, one is enough. He Sihai hurriedly said.

"Take it and take it back to your grandmother to taste. He Sihai couldn't help but say that he raced the watermelon into his arms again.

He Sihai hurriedly hugged it.

"Second Uncle ......"

"What's wrong?"

"Then I'll go back. ”

He Sihai didn't say thank you again, and some things were just remembered in his heart.

"Go, go, if you want to eat watermelon in the future, pick it yourself, it's not worth a few dollars, and it's all off the market soon, and if you don't eat it, it will soon rot in the ground." ”

He Mancang looked at the watermelons in the field, and a trace of sorrow climbed up his eyebrows.

......

Originally, He Sihai wanted to soak the watermelon in well water.

But seeing Peaches' impatient little gluttony.

He Sihai could only cut one first.

The sun was hot for most of the day.

But for peaches, you can eat some of them, so you don't care about that.

He Sihai directly gave her half of it, let her sit in the shade of the tree at the door, and dig it with a spoon to eat.

And he came to his grandmother's room.

"Grandma, the second uncle gave us two watermelons, do you want to get up and eat some?" He Sihai asked his grandmother who was leaning on the bed.

"Don't eat it, eat it. ”

Grandma picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes.

It's not crying, it's because I'm old, and there will be tears in the corners of my eyes unconsciously.

"Grandma, I have already told Xiang Rong, I will take you to the county hospital tomorrow. ”

He Xiangrong in He Sihaikou is from the same village, and he is considered to be He Sihai's hair, but he dropped out of school earlier than He Sihai.

His family conditions are good, and he has never gone out to work, and he and his father do things such as harvesting rice, rapeseed, and harvesting.

His family has a car, and he helped send his grandmother to the county hospital when he was sick the last time.

"No, no, I know my body, and it's useless to go. Grandma waved her hand.

"Grandma. ”

"Okay, don't say it, if Momoko didn't want me to go, I would have left a long time ago. Grandma said suddenly.

"Grandma, don't say such unlucky words, you have to live a good life, and you will have to watch Peaches go to college in the future. He Sihai hurriedly said.

"Grandma can't see that day, but you have to take good care of Peaches in the future, she is also a bitter child. Grandma suddenly grabbed his hand and said.

"Don't worry, you don't need to say this, I will definitely take care of her, no matter when, I promise. ”

He Sihai rubbed the back of her hand, it was very cold.

But he felt warm.

"Dad. ”

"It's Peaches calling, let's hurry up. ”

Grandma pulled out her hand and patted him lightly on the back of his hand.

Relieved, with a smile on his face.

Seeing his grandmother's happy appearance, He Sihai got up and left the room.
