Although the watermelon field is at the foot of the mountain, Xu Fan is not worried that the sleeping sunspots will be hurt by the snakes and beasts in the mountains, the reason is very simple, there are basically no poisonous snakes and fierce beasts on this concave mountain.

The villagers who have lived on the side of the mountain for a long time, each of them are experts in catching snakes and hunting, and this kind of thing on the mountain has long been cleaned up, although the mountain is now closed to kill wild animals, but this is the concave mountain that has been overcaptured, and these things have not appeared so quickly for a while, even if they appear occasionally, they have long been sacrificed by the villagers who often go up the mountain to take care of the fruit trees.

Xu Fan stepped into the house with his front foot, and heard the sound of a car with his back foot, and turned around to see that it was his father Xu Yishan who drove in from the gate of the compound with a half-new seven.

As a cement master, Xu's father used to ride a bicycle or battery car to work, just because with the opening of the highway in the past two years, it has saved the time from the county seat to the provincial capital, and because the provincial leaders have developed this area into a green tourism place, and vigorously developed the emerging economic model such as farmhouses.

Xu's father took over the work on the construction requirements are much higher than before, and the tools needed are much more, and the battery car alone cannot meet the needs of pulling tools, so I went to buy this second-hand small seven-seater.

This little seven-seater had already made up his mind when Xu Fan hadn't come back yet, but now that it was not time to use it, he just stood at the door and waited for his father to come down, and did not ask for the car keys.

"Did you go to the watermelon field?" asked Xu Yishan as soon as he got out of the car.

"Well, let's get it," Xu Fan nodded in response as he walked in with his father.

"Hmm!" Xu Yishan nodded in response, did not speak again, and then the family of three sat down for lunch together.

It is directly mentioned that Xiaobai, who has just finished eating a family of three and is nowhere to be seen, will appear in the yard on time, swagger into the house, call out to his mother a few times, and then go around the dining table non-stop.

Xu Fanlai took care of it, sat on the stool to rest, and Zhang Cuifang took the leftovers and leftovers to the yard to get food for it.

After a while, Zhang Cuifang came in with an empty plate, and asked Xu Fan with a strange expression: "Fanzi, did you see the sunspot? Why isn't it in the courtyard?" ”

Xu Fan was a little speechless and rolled his eyes: "The sunspot is in the watermelon field." ”

"Watermelon field, did you bring it?" Zhang Cuifang said after a moment's pause.

"Hmm!" Xu Fan nodded.

"Then leave it alone," Zhang Cuifang left this sentence, and walked quickly to the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks.

Xu Fan scratched his head and looked at the kitchen, then looked at the door, rolled his eyes speechlessly and stood up, said hello to his parents, and went to the mountains with a straw hat.

The sun at noon in May is not vicious, and there is a cool feeling when the mountain wind blows, which is much better than the scorching heat of June, July and August.

When I arrived in the mountains, I obviously found that the two or three acres of watermelon fields sprinkled with the highest concentration in the morning had changed a lot, and there were still red flowers in the morning, which would have begun to bear fruit.

This change was expected by Xu Fan, and then he took a few glances at other mountains with lower concentrations, and there were basically changes, and with the different concentrations, the changes were not the same.

Heizi was still lying on the grass and falling asleep, Xu Fan didn't bother it, picked up the wooden barrel and repeated the morning's affairs, the concentration gradually decreased, until the last time it was almost just a little bit of agar diluted in.

After all the sprinkling, the sun was about to hang to the west, and the watermelons with the highest concentration in the first few acres of land had become much larger, and Xu Fan, who was tired and half dead, looked at it, and walked to the sunspot with satisfaction to wake it up.

"Wang Wang......" obviously didn't sleep enough sunspots, so he was woken up, a little unhappy, crawling on the ground and squinting at Xu Fan shaking his head and squinting a few times, but the sound was much better than the weak appearance in the morning, and it seemed full of energy.

"Don't scream, it's time to go home, you still want to spend the night here," Xu Fan said with a smile and patted the sunspot's head.

"Wang ......" Kuroko shouted and stood up, wagging his tail and following Xu Fan towards home.

After drinking the elixir water and sleeping beautifully, the sunspot became a lot more lively, not just hanging his head and following behind like in the morning, and now he is walking around Xu Fan with his head up.

When I got home, Xu's father hadn't come back yet, Xiaobai hadn't come back, my mother's meal was ready, and she was just about to go out with a bucket, when she met Xu Fan, she directly handed over the bucket: "Xiaofan, you come back with a bucket of water." ”

Xu Fan answered, took the bucket and walked towards the well with the sunspot.

There is only one well in Aoshan Village, located at the foot of the mountain behind the village ancestral hall, which is naturally formed, the water in it is warm in winter and cool in summer, sweet and thirst-quenching, and the water that every household drinks is brought back from here, which is not only a necessity for life in the village, but also a treasure in the village.

After fetching the water and carrying it back, he didn't take a few steps, Xu Fan thought about it, looked left and right, and saw that a few villagers who had left with him had already walked away, and quickly took out the white jade bottle, dropped a little agar slurry into the bucket, and carried it home with a shake.

After entering the courtyard, Kuroko did not follow up, but went to the nest next to the olive tree in the courtyard, closed his eyes and recuperated.

Along the way, Xu Fan deliberately shook the bucket, and when he got home, the elixir in it had completely dissolved in the water, poured it into the water tank, and clapped his hands to finish.

Use a bowl of water to come out and drink it in one go, the extremely unique spirit of the spirit, wrapped in the sweetness of the water, can not be more refreshing to drink.

Wiping the corners of his mouth, Xu Fan saw that he was still busy with his mother, and wanted to ask her to drink saliva, but after thinking about it, he gave up this plan, went to the pot to make some rice, poured some broth, and poured some water that he had just brought back, and took it out directly.

"What is this for?" asked Zhang Cuifang a little confused.

"Feed the sunspots, I'm almost hungry for a day," Xu Fan didn't reply.

Poured the rice into Kuroko's big bowl and patted it on the head: "Kuroko, eat quickly." ”

Kuroko, who hadn't eaten for almost a day, was indeed hungry, and the meal was filled with agar water, although it was much rarer than during the day, but Kuroko still ate very happily, and didn't make much effort to eat cleanly, and licked off a little dregs.

This will be kung fu, Xu Yishan drove back, Xiaobai also came back with a sway, and the family brought a dog and talked after eating.

Tired, Xu Fan went to take a hot bath, went back to his room, and continued his great career of translation until he naturally fell asleep.

"Fanzi, Fanzi, get up, get up," Early in the morning, the rooster had just crowed, and Xu Fan was woken up by his mother's anxious cry.

Half-squinting, drooping his head, he came down step by step, and asked depressedly, "What's the matter, Mom? ”

"What's the matter, let me ask you, did you give our watermelon any poisonous things like ripening agents on TV," Xu Yishan asked with a dark face and a roar.

"That's right, Fanzi, we can't mess around, I heard that eating too many of these things will kill people, don't be stupid, this is a crime," Zhang Cuifang, who was standing on the side, looked anxious.

Xu Fan, who was still a little confused, became even more confused after listening to his parents' words: "Dad, Mom, what are you talking about?

"You still say no, then let me ask you, the watermelons in the field still bloomed well yesterday morning, and now not only do they bear fruit, some fruits are the size of fists, you tell me that this is not a ripening agent, what is it?" Xu Yishan blew his beard and glared angrily.

"Fanzi, what your father said is right, your mother and I have grown so big, and it is the first time I have seen a watermelon grow so fast overnight, you must not do anything illegal?" Zhang Cuifang was full of nervousness and worry.

Xu Fan understood the consciousness of his parents, and also understood the reason why the second old Xingshi asked for the crime in the morning, and laughed: "Dad, Mom, I thought what was the matter, you can rest assured about this, I didn't get any catalysts and these toxic things at all, I used the nutrient solution I told you yesterday, it is very scientific and safe, don't worry." ”

"If you say don't worry, don't worry, if you say it's okay, it's okay, tell me the truth, don't fight haha," Xu Yishan said with a disbelief in his eyes.

"Fanzi, don't lie to your parents, although your mother doesn't read much, but the speed at which your watermelon grows is too evil, you confess honestly, don't hide it," Zhang Cuifang persuaded bitterly.

"Mom, Dad, what I said is true, I really didn't lie to you, if you still don't believe it, so let's do it, the melons in the ground will almost be ripe the day after tomorrow, and when the time comes, you will know if I lied to you," Xu Fan patiently explained, secretly blaming himself for being too anxious, not to make the concentration too high, and the watermelon to grow too fast, so as to make the second elder worried.

"You can see it at a glance, how do you see it?" Xu Yishan asked

"Dad, if the watermelon is ripened with a ripening agent, it can't be fully ripe, and the seeds inside are different after opening, the normal watermelon seeds are dark black and full, while the seeds with the ripening agent are white or gray, and they are flattened, which can be seen at a glance, and the color inside, the color of the ripening agent is very unnatural," Xu Fan paused, licked the corners of his mouth and continued.

"The taste is not the same, the normal watermelon is not opened in our hands, there will be a faint melon fragrance, there will be no melon fragrance with these medicines, the normal taste of the melon is very sweet to quench thirst, the taste of ripening is light and a little astringent, when the time comes, you two old people taste it, take a look and know" Xu Fan explained very professionally and confidently.

Xu Yishan didn't speak, but his expression softened a lot, took out a cigarette and lit it, sat on the stool and smoked silently.

Zhang Cuifang waited for a while and stabbed Xu Yishan: "Old man, what my son said is the Tao, when we went to the field just now, the birds flew to catch insects, I think if they really used those medicines, these birds would definitely not come." ”

"Hmm!" Xu Yishan nodded, stood up and dropped a sentence, and went out to drive.

"Rabbit cub, it's better that what you say is true, otherwise Lao Tzu will break your leg with his own hands and send it to the police station. ”
