Chapter 52: Winter Melon

"Can you tell my sister, what is your name?" Shen Hui talked to the child as she walked, and the child looked very familiar at first glance, but she couldn't remember what it was called. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"My name is Winter Melon. The child said, and excitedly compared the shape of a winter melon, "When I was born, the winter melon in my vegetable field was just ripe, and my grandfather said that it could be so big, and it looked gratifying, so he named me winter melon." ”

Shen Hui smiled, the winter melon was more than a meter long, she couldn't help but touch the head of the winter melon, looking surprised, "Hey, your winter melon won't be sent by Chang'e, otherwise why is it so big, I have never seen such a big one." ”

Winter melon shook his head proudly, "Sister, it wasn't sent by Chang'e, there is only an osmanthus tree on the moon, not a winter melon, and the winter melon grows from my field!"

As he spoke, he approached Shen Hui and whispered, "Sister, I don't tell others, I only tell you, my winter melon is the best growing winter melon in the village, and no one is as big as mine!"

Shen Hui immediately cooperated with Rong Youyan, "Really, thank you so much!"

Winter melon waved his hand and raised his neck very skillfully, "Don't be polite to me, just change things in the village and find me later, and my grandmother said that I will plant winter melons this year, and when you come back in autumn, I will give you two big winter melons!"

Under the gaze of winter melon, Shen Hui nodded again and again, "Thank you so much, I like to eat winter melon the most!"

"Thank you, you are a military family, is your man a soldier on the river?" Seeing Shen Hui nodding, he continued, "My grandfather said that soldiers are worthy of respect for protecting their families and defending the country, and the best winter melon should be given to you, but-"

said in a low voice, "My grandfather doesn't earn much, otherwise, I don't want money." ”

The little child actually sighed, Shen Hui listened to him a grandparent, but he didn't mention his father and mother, it was estimated that he was no longer there, thinking that she raised her hand and touched his head, "It's okay, soldiers also have allowances, my sister has money, you don't have to send it!"

Winter Melon's dim eyes suddenly lit up, he clenched his fists, and looked up at Shen Hui, "Well, when I grow up, I make a lot of money, if you come again, I won't give you any money!"

Shen Hui smiled, "Okay!"

As soon as the words fell, an old voice came from the courtyard in front of me, "Winter melon, are you talking, why did you come back so early today-"

With the voice, a gray-haired old woman walked out, and the smile in her eyes was almost overflowing when she saw the bouncing winter melon, and then she saw Shen Hui behind him, and beckoned, "This girl-"

Winter melon has been impatient to run over and take grandma's hand, lying on grandma's ear and whispering something, and when winter melon put down his foot, the old grandmother nodded knowingly, and took the two into the yard.

The yard is not big, the same as fifty-seven, there is a walkway in the middle, and the two sides are set out to plant vegetables and trees, and the winter melon house is a variety of two trees on both sides, persimmon trees, jujube trees, plums and apricots, Shen Hui is a little greedy to see, this is going to be autumn, the yard is full of fruity fragrance, so happy.

There were several small benches near the door of the courtyard, one of them a little far away, and the other two had mud-stained wild vegetables and several bundles of wild vegetables that had been picked in front of them, and there was a pile of mud in front of the stools.

Compared to here, other places are cleaner, and Shen Hui feels that she has really found the right one.

"Girl, I haven't seen you before, new here, right?" The old woman made a stool and handed it over, Shen Hui hurriedly reached out to take it, and helped the old man to sit down by the way.

Shen Hui nodded, "Well, I only arrived yesterday!"

"What battalion is your man from?"

"Gu Zhengqin, do you know him? It's from the reconnaissance company. ”

"Oh, I know, I know, I heard that it's amazing, it's the new daughter-in-law, I heard that she was still single a few years ago. ”

"Well, he came home to visit his family, and we got married!"

"Oh, that's a good dare, the young man is in his twenties, and he should have ended it a long time ago. ”

Shen Hui smiled and lowered her head, how should she pick her up, she is really inexperienced.

Seeing that Shen Hui seemed a little embarrassed, the old grandmother hurriedly pushed the winter melon crooked on her side and sat down, turning to the topic, "I heard what the winter melon said...... It's just spring, there's nothing, there's not much at home, what do you want?"

"Well, Grandma, you know, we just arrived, and we didn't have a lot of things...... That's okay, I'll take some of the necessary things first, go through it for a while, and when I can grow vegetables, I'll come to you to get some seeds, okay?" Shen Hui thought for a while.

"Okay, good, your girl looks like a housekeeper, and your man is a blessed man!" said the old woman with a smile.

"Hey, grandma has won the prize. Shen Hui smiled and said, "Well, grandma, let me tell you, I want flour, white flour and sweet potato noodles, soybean noodles and this kind of mixed together, if there is rice, it is better, you can cook some porridge in the morning, and the other is the vegetables, do you have Chinese cabbage and radishes, these are fine, there are eggs at home." ”

"Yes, you just have everything you want, our family of three can't eat much, but there is not so much rice, winter melon likes to eat rice, we often eat, there is not much left. ”

The old grandmother stood up tremblingly and walked to the kitchen, and suddenly saw the winter melon jump up from the stool and walk a few steps to the grandmother, "Grandma, look!"

Shen Hui followed his fingers and looked over, just in time to see a huge face poking out from the wall next door, and he was busy patting his chest, scared to death!

It's a woman's face, but it's fat, big-eared, and oily in an age when everyone eats food!

Seeing her, Shen Hui remembered why she felt that the winter melon was a little familiar.

Once in her previous life, she came to exchange food with her fellow villagers, and this woman was chasing the winter melon, and the stick with her thick arm hit a seven or eight-year-old child's back, not to mention a child, even an adult can't stand being knocked like this.

Winter melon's crying voice is hoarse, she can't climb anymore, this woman still doesn't give up, and the more persuaded the people next to her, the bigger she is, Shen Hui can't look at it and hug the winter melon aside, this woman still wants to beat her, if it weren't for Shen Hui showing her identity as a military sister-in-law in the end, she would really have to be beaten with a stick.

Shen Hui was really impressed by this woman, and it would be good to see her again as a stranger, so she glanced at her and turned her head.

Who knew that she was discovered, and she was not polite, but not to the old grandmother and winter melon, but to Shen Hui.
