Ruan Dong Ruan Hao Ruan Tao was in charge of moving the watermelons out of the backyard, the two coachmen were in charge of loading them into the carriage, and Liu Shi brought a stool for Wu Gang to sit on the side.

Duan Fusheng finished eating a bowl of ice noodles, asked for another bowl, and wanted to eat again after eating, but was stopped by Ruan An'an.

"Ice powder is cold, you can't eat more, otherwise you will have a stomachache."

"Then I'll eat one last bowl." Duan Fusheng looked at Ruan An'an with blank eyes.

"Alright then, I can only eat one bowl." After Ruan Anan finished speaking, he went to the backyard.

Because this was the last bowl of ice powder, Duan Fusheng didn't finish it in a few bites like before, but tasted it slowly, but no matter how slow he was, a small bowl of ice powder was also eaten.

After putting the bowl down, Duan Fusheng went to the backyard, he also wanted to see what the watermelon tree looked like.

Unexpectedly, watermelons did not hang on trees one by one like apples and oranges, but grew on the ground.

Ruan Anan was picking strawberries, and when he saw him coming in, he hurriedly beckoned him to come over, otherwise he would have been blocking them from carrying watermelons at the door.

"What is this?" Duan Fusheng looked at the strawberry and asked.

"It's called strawberries, and it's a delicious fruit." Ruan Anan picked a ripe strawberry and handed it over.

Duan Fusheng didn't doubt him, and fed it directly into his mouth, and the taste of strawberries bloomed in his mouth.

The aroma is strong, tender and juicy.

"It's as delicious as watermelon." Duan Fusheng praised, and saw that there were already a lot of strawberries turning red next to him, and hurriedly asked if he could buy some.

Ruan Anan nodded, she wanted to sell these strawberries to him, originally she wanted to pick some and give them to Mrs. County Ling, and then she could wait for her to come to the house to buy them, but she didn't expect Duan Fusheng to come in directly.

Either way, the strawberries were sold.

"Your home is so good, there are watermelons, strawberries, and ice powder, you are so happy, you can eat whatever you want." Duan Fusheng said while picking strawberries with Ruan An'an.

He said he was picking strawberries, but he didn't pick a few, most of them were put into his mouth.

"You're also happy, you can buy whatever you want to eat with money." Ruan Anan was a little unimpressed.

Money is the most important thing, not that there is a saying that "money is not everything, no money is everything".

"It's different, if I want to eat it, I have to wait for your family to sell it, just pick it if you want to eat it."

"But I can't eat as much as I want, these are all to sell money for the family." Ruan Anan lied, in fact, she really wanted to eat whatever she wanted, but she didn't eat much as a three-year-old child.

But Duan Fusheng didn't know about these things, and he felt that Ruan Anan was very pitiful, obviously he couldn't eat the things he grew at home.

"And when planting, you have to fertilize, water, and weed, and you have to worry about birds and rats to wreak havoc, which can be tiring to do." Nguyen An An continued.

"Is it more tiring than reading?"

In Duan Fusheng's heart, the most tiring thing in the world is reading, and he has to write and endorse books, and if he can't write well, he has to rewrite, and if he can't memorize the book, he will be beaten by his husband.

"How can reading be tiring?" Ruan Kang, who was catching ants in the corner, asked when he heard this.

He sits when he sees the fourth brother reading on weekdays, and he only needs to write a few words, where is the grandfather and uncle, they work hard to farm.

In his opinion, reading is the happiest thing.

In the future, he will also study hard and come back after taking the test, he vaguely knows that as long as he is admitted to Xiucai's family and does not have to serve in the military, his father will not die, so he has to work hard, and maybe his father will come back if he is admitted to Xiucai.

The three-year-old child still doesn't quite understand what death means, but he sees that everyone has a father, but he and his sister don't, he wants a father very much, and he also wants to be held high like Ruan Lei.

"Of course it's tiring, Mr. keeps staring at you, and he will sue behind your back." Duan Fusheng thought of the stick on his body, and his butt hurt a little.

When Ruan Kang heard it, it turned out that Mr. was so bad.

"Then you must be disobedient and will be beaten." Nguyen An An said.

Duan Fusheng didn't expect Ruan Anan to be so smart, and he actually knew that he was disobedient, but he still pouted, "It's all because Mr. is too strict." ”

After the watermelon was moved, Wu Gang came to invite Duan Fusheng home, Duan Fusheng was a little reluctant, but he still had to go home, otherwise he wouldn't know when he would be able to come out next time.

Ruan Anan took a small basket and loaded the strawberries and handed them to Duan Fusheng, in order to prevent him from eating them on the way, he specially said that he would hand them over to Mrs. County Ling, saying that it was a gift to buy so many watermelons.

When Duan Fusheng heard this, he immediately took out a small whitebait for a day, "I picked so many strawberries to eat just now, and I didn't pay for it, this is the money I paid." ”

Ruan Anan didn't take it, but said, "I'm very happy to meet you today, so let's take it as if I invited you to eat." ”

Collecting money once and collecting money a few more times is still clear and Ruan Anan can still distinguish between it.

Duan Fusheng was very happy when he heard it, "Is that the two of us friends?" ”

If they really become friends, won't they eat as many watermelons and strawberries as they want in the future?

Ruan Anan nodded.

Duan Fusheng happily got into the carriage, and when he went back, he must tell his mother that he had made his first friend after coming here.

After sending Duan Fusheng away, the Ruan family quieted down.

Liu counted it, and there were still twelve large watermelons left in the house, and a few that had not grown.

"Later, one watermelon will be taken to Grandma An'an, one will be taken to the sister-in-law's house, one will be taken to Meizi's mother's house, and one will be taken to Liujia Village, and we will eat the rest ourselves."

Liu's family made an arrangement, Liujia Village is her maiden home, although her father and mother are dead, but she has a good relationship with her brother, and they have contacts during the New Year and holidays.

None of the others had an opinion.

After a while, Ruan Dashan also came back with an ox cart, and Liu asked him to return the ox cart to the village chief's house, and asked Ruan Meng to pull a basket of grass tomorrow and send it.

Zhao Mei also cooked the meal, and when Ruan Dashan came back, she would start the meal.

Today's meal is sorghum rice, which is a little prickly, but the three small ones eat large white rice, accompanied by cold cucumbers, vinegared shredded potatoes, and a plate of pickles, which is also particularly appetizing in the hot summer.

After eating, the Liu clan gathered everyone together and asked mysteriously, "Guess how much silver you earned today?" ”

"Last time, twenty were sold for five taels of silver, and this time they were sold for fifty, that is, twelve taels and five." Ruan Hao calculated.

Liu shook his head, "That's not right. Then he stretched out a slap and compared it to five.

"It's only sold for five taels this time? But it doesn't matter, a good cow is only about ten taels, and if it's not enough, just add more. Ruan Dong comforted, in fact, this is much better than farming.

You must know that if you dig in the field for a year, you will earn three or four taels, and you have to be a diligent person, and this time it will be sold to ten taels, just like it is for nothing, and you can be content.
