253 The melon is ripe
Xiao Yu came back with water, and naturally found that Xiao Zixuan was lying, but he felt that this matter was just a joke of the child, so he didn't take it to heart and didn't say anything.
But Xie Yuluo is right, children must be taught from an early age, and they can't lie.
Even Xiao Yu ignored it, Xie Yuluo did so well, Xiao Yu felt that her younger siblings would definitely be able to be trained by her very well if they followed Xie Yuluo.
I really don't know, why the two brothers and sisters who were so afraid of her before like her so much now! But seeing that she treats her two children sincerely, and knows that it is normal for her two children to like her so much!
Not to mention two children, even him......
Xiao Yu lowered her head slightly, and when she heard Xie Yuluo say that Xiao Zixuan protected her, she was not afraid of anything.
What is she afraid of?
Even if she wants someone to protect her, the person who wants to protect her can't be Xiao Zixuan, right? He is still so young, and he has to wait until the Year of the Monkey to protect others.
"I see that the watermelons in the backyard are almost ripe, let's go, sister-in-law will teach you how to pick watermelons!"
Xie Yuluo really has her way of coaxing the child, and just now she criticized Xiao Zixuan seriously, and the next second, she taught him to pick melons, such a change, who doesn't accept it happily.
Xiao Zixuan immediately burst into tears and laughed, his mood was much brighter, and he said happily: "Okay! ”
Xiao Yu retreated to the side, Xie Yuluo took Xiao Zixuan and went to the backyard, but she didn't see Xiao Yu hiding in the kitchen.
He squinted at the water tank, confused.
Xie Yuluo has planted a lot of watermelons, and now there are more than 20 large and small watermelons, different sizes, the largest one is now as big as an adult's head, Xie Yuluo taught Xiao Zixuan how to identify ripe watermelons.
She slapped the melon noodles with her palm, and the largest watermelon made a "bang, bang, bang" sound, Xie Yuluo was overjoyed, and said to Xiao Zixuan: "You come and pat it." ”
Xiao Zixuan patted it.
"Did you hear anything?"
"There was a thumping thump."
"Then you pat this again!" Xie Yuluo pointed to a slightly smaller watermelon on the side.
"Do you feel different?"
"I feel it, one bang bang, one knock knock, it's different!" Xiao Zixuan patted it again, and said after confirming it again.
Xie Yuluo gave a thumbs up excitedly: "I'm so smart, I'll be a teacher as soon as I teach." Let me tell you, this watermelon is bang, it means that the melon is ripe, and the sound of the knock is that it is not ripe yet, and it will take two days. ”
Xiao Zimeng heard that the melon was ripe, and his saliva was about to fall: "Sister-in-law, is this watermelon really ripe?" Can you eat it? ”
"You can eat it, Zixuan, pick it off quickly, I'll cut the melon for you to eat!" Xie Yuluo couldn't help but swallow her saliva, she also wanted to eat.
Xiao Zixuan picked the watermelon, Xie Yuluo hurriedly washed it, and Xiao Zixuan had already brought a knife.
The watermelon green skin pattern is very eye-catching, Xie Yuluo raised the knife and put it down.
Xiao Zimeng looked at it with a blank eye: "Sister-in-law, why don't you cut it?" ”
"Go and ask your eldest brother to eat together!" Xie Yuluo said.
Everyone arrived, and Xiao Yu was left alone. These children have never eaten watermelon, and seeing them watching the cut melon with their eyes open, they can't miss Xiao Yu.
Xiao Zixuan rushed out: "I'll call the eldest brother." ”
Xie Yuluo put down the knife and waited for Xiao Yu to come and cut it.
Xiao Yu came over soon, and when Xie Yuluo saw him coming, she lifted the knife again, cut the watermelon from the middle, and split it in two. The red gourd is filled with a strong melon fragrance, which is naturally ripe, and the melon raised with farmhouse fertilizer is not used to play cyclamate, no bulking agent, and it smells really fragrant!
Xie Yuluo's saliva was about to flow out.
Xiao Zimeng danced excitedly: "There are melons to eat, there are melons to eat." ”
The watermelon is not big, and the skin is quite thick, Xie Yuluo cut half of the watermelon in half, and then cut it into pieces of about the same thickness.
After cutting half of it, Xie Yuluo took the two middle pieces and handed them to Xiao Zixuan and Xiao Zimeng: "Taste it and see if it's sweet!" ”
The two children were going to wait, but they had never eaten this thing, and the melon fragrance was already gluttonous, and their saliva was overflowing, and when they saw that the sister-in-law also took a piece for the eldest brother, the two children didn't wait, and they just opened their mouths and bit it.
The red melon pulp is a mouthful of juice when you bite into it, which is sweet and fragrant.
The two children bit happily, bite after bite, and didn't even bother to speak.
Xiao Yu took a piece and didn't eat it, and when Xie Yuluo put down the knife, she also took a piece and bit it first, so Xiao Yu ate it.
He had eaten watermelon before, and in the summer, his father and mother would buy one or two watermelons and cut them for him to eat, but the time was so long ago that he almost forgot what watermelon tasted like.
I just remember that it seems to be sweet!
But now the watermelon in my hand is sweeter, as sweet as if I have eaten honey.
Xie Yuluo took a bite of watermelon, in fact, this watermelon is not very delicious, not as good as modern unicorn melon, the sweetness is average, and the taste is average, but Xie Yuluo has been here for so long, and she has never eaten any serious fruits, and now eating watermelon is simply a great delicacy in the world.
It's sweet anyway.
Xiao Zixuan and Xiao Zimeng directly bit the watermelon skin, Xie Yuluo saw it, and said with a smile: "The watermelon can be eaten with red flesh, and the white melon skin below can't be eaten." ”
"No wonder it's not sweet down there!" Xiao Zixuan said regretfully: "It's just that there are so many more, I can't eat them, it's a pity!" ”
The watermelon skin is very thick, so it's a shame to throw it away like that.
Xie Yuluo smiled: "It's a pity, don't lose the skin, tomorrow my sister-in-law will make something delicious for you!" ”
As soon as Xiao Zixuan heard that there was something delicious, he immediately smiled, put the watermelon skin in the basket, grabbed another piece of melon, and ate it in a big gulp.
A big watermelon, four people ate it separately, and they ate it all.
The two children touched their round bellies, burped, and were still unsatisfied: "Sister-in-law, when can we eat watermelon again?" ”
"You just go and pat it every day, and we'll eat it when it's cooked!" Xie Yuluo put away all the melon skins and put them in the basket, there were still a lot of watermelon water stains on the table, and just wanted to go to the kitchen to get a rag, Xiao Yu had already brought it.
Spread on the table, Xie Yuluo was just about to reach out to pick it up, Xiao Yu bent down, skillfully wiped the table, and then took the rag back to the kitchen.
Xie Yuluo followed, carrying half a basket of watermelon rinds.
