The father and son of the Lin family also said happily that the watermelons on the 80 acres of land are growing very well, and many watermelons have been produced, the big ones weigh two or three catties, and the first recommended melons will be harvested in about half a month.

As he was talking, Chu Xiaoniu came with a long-term worker. This long-term worker is called Wang Lao Wu, and most of his hair has fallen out in his twenties, and his head is a serious "place surrounded by the center", and his sparse hair is tied on the top of his head like a small horn.

He is an outsider, a distant relative of Gao Lizheng. He said that his hometown was flooded and his parents and relatives died, so he came here to join his relatives. Gao Lizheng helped him get a household registration, and rented a small courtyard in the north of the village, which was separated from the courtyard of Chen Ming's family by two families. Since then, he has lived here, working long and short jobs for people, as long as he can earn money, he will do all the dirty work.

This person doesn't talk much and is very diligent, but the requirements for finding a daughter-in-law are very high, that is, she wants to be beautiful. Almost all the families in the village that had beautiful girls, he went to mention relatives. At the beginning, because I liked Chen Afu Shuiling, I often went to the vegetable garden to meet her by chance. This person is a joke in Xianggong Village, and everyone says that he is a toad who wants to eat swan meat. So by now, they are twenty-five years old, and they haven't married a daughter-in-law yet.

Last year, when Fuyuan and Luyuan were recruiting long-term workers in the fields and watermelon fields, he came to register. Chen Ming and Chen Afu felt that this person was good, down-to-earth and hardworking, except for the unrealistic standards for finding a daughter-in-law and not paying much attention to hygiene, everything else was very good, so they recruited him, but the premise was that he had to clean up his personal hygiene.

He was very diligent, more willing to work than the other three long-term workers, and was willing to use his brains, and paid more attention to hygiene, and later Chen Afu promoted him to a small boss and put him in charge of the watermelon field.

Wang Lao Wu held a large watermelon of nearly ten catties in his hand, and he was so happy that his mouth was grinning behind his ears, and the sweat soaked his hair on the top of his head, making him appear to have less hair.

Chu Xiaoniu smiled, "Big girl, our watermelon has grown so big." ”

Wang Lao Wu said with a smile, "Big girl, there are many such big melons in the ground, I knocked on it, bang, it should be ripe." The big girl looks, if it's ripe, you can pick it one after another in the next few days. ”

Chen Afu was also very happy, and hurriedly asked people to wash the melon and cut it with a knife. The melon is red and bright, and when you eat it, it is sweet, crisp and juicy, and if you wait for a few more days and sand a little more, it will be even more delicious.

Old man Lin said excitedly, "God, why are the melons here ripe at this time? They are at least ten days earlier than the melons in our Wangshan Village, and they are all better than the watermelons I ate before." ”

Of course, Chen Afu wouldn't say that this was a rare fertilizer like swallow dung, so he had to say vaguely, "Maybe it has something to do with the soil quality here." Then, let people hurry to Dingzhou to contact Zeng Shuang, and three days later, they began to produce melons and ship them to Dingzhou to sell. Dingzhou was one of the important transportation hubs of the Dashun Dynasty, with canals on the edge of the city leading north to the capital and south to the south of the Yangtze River, where watermelons could be sold to the two richest places in the Dashun Dynasty, as well as some places along the coast.

At the same time, a small amount was given to Chen Ming's Chen Erliang shop in Sanqing County. Although the shop mainly sells grain, it can also sell watermelons.

Except for Chu Lingyan, who was sleeping, and the golden swallow in the space, the rest of the melons were distributed to the subordinates and the animal family to eat. Of course, Chasing Wind is not interested, and Qiqi and Gray Gray, the two smart birds, as long as they are delicious, there is nothing they don't like.

Then, he asked Wang Lao Wu to pick two more, one to Luyuan and one to Tangyuan. After thinking about it, he asked him to pick two more, and then sent them to the old monk Wuzhi and Abbot Lichen.

At night, Chen Afu, who was busy, cut the toothy watermelon into a small bowl and went to the space with the small bowl. Ever since the golden swallow got the amber bird, she has been hiding in the space to play, and she can't even scream.

"Baby, come and eat watermelon, it's so sweet. Chen Afu greeted.

The golden swallow was still pulling the amber bird with its wings, and said, "Mommy, it's strange, if this thing were darker, I would have thought it was carved out of the way I was a child, why does it look like me? ”

Chen Afu was startled, leaned over to take a closer look at the amber bird, shook his head and said, "Why don't I see that it looks like a living thing, in my eyes, it is no different from the ornaments in my room, but it looks better." Seeing that Jin Yanzi's little pointed beak was sharper, he smiled again, "Mommy is an ordinary man, and of course her vision is not as powerful as Jinbao." Maybe this amber bird will be able to wake up one day by absorbing aura in the space. It's good if it wakes up, and our Jinbao won't be too lonely when it's in the space cat winter. It would be better if it was a female baby, the baby could have more than one ...... Younger sister. ”

She originally wanted to talk about multiple daughters-in-law, but when she thought that if she had more thoughts about small things, she would be even more "delusional", so she changed her words to be her sister.

The corners of the golden swallow's mouth curled happily, and she chirped and said, "Mommy, don't call it an amber bird in the future, it's cold like an ornament, call it Jinbei, it's a pair when you hear it." He said regretfully, "I don't know if it will wake up in a hundred years or a thousand years." ”

With a pole so far, without his own business, Chen Afu is even less interested. Yawned and said, "Baby, eat watermelon." This melon is sweet and fast-growing, and it is inseparable from you. ”

On the evening of the 19th, dinner was being eaten in the Blessing Garden. Chen Afu took the three children to a table, the old marquis drank wine at the other table, Jinbao led Qiqi and Ash to eat around a colorful porcelain plate, and buried his head in a small wooden basin to eat fragrantly.

Old man Zeng's surprised voice suddenly came from the courtyard, "Ouch, Uncle is back." He raised his voice again and shouted, "Old lady, big girl, uncle is back." ”

With the sound of footsteps, Chu Lingxuan walked into the restaurant. He had already gone back to Tang Yuan to take a bath, wearing an ice-blue robe, and his wet hair was hanging down.

Chu Hanyan had already put down her chopsticks and greeted the door, and as soon as she saw him, she stretched out her arms and shouted, "Daddy, Daddy." ”

Chu Lingxuan hugged Chu Hanyan, glanced at Chen Afu with a smile first, and then went to salute in front of the old marquis.

Chen Afu got up and said with a smile, "Uncle hasn't eaten yet, I'll ask someone to bring a bowl and chopsticks over and stir-fry two more dishes." ”

"Good. Chu Lingxuan nodded and sat next to the old marquis.

Dabao and Chu Lingzhi walked over to salute, one was called "Daddy" and the other was called "Big Brother". Qiqi and Ash also joined in and shouted "Daddy" loudly.

Chen Afu personally went to the kitchen to fry two dishes that Chu Lingxuan liked to eat, a ginger hot chicken, and a green pepper fried meat. She knew that Chu Lingxuan might come back tonight, and the ingredients were all ready. But I was afraid that he would come back too late, so I didn't fry it.
