Chapter Twenty-Eight: Watermelon
"Jianping, where did you find such a big watermelon?" When Lin Shuhua saw Gu Jianping coming, he asked curiously.
Gu Jianping put the big watermelon under the pressurized water well in the yard, washed the watermelon with water, washed off the mud on it, and then answered Lin Shuhua's question, "I picked it in our field, you forgot, didn't we plant a few watermelon seedlings at the beginning, I picked it there." “
Listening to him, Lin Shuhua also remembered, and said with a smile, "Hey, it's there, I haven't taken care of it for so long, I thought it wasn't over this year, how do you know it's grown so big." “
"But isn't it, I didn't expect that when I went to weed in the field today, I saw several of them over there, so I picked up the biggest one, hehe, let's quench our thirst." With that, he went to the kitchen again to get a kitchen knife and cut the watermelon.
As soon as he made a cut, the watermelon cracked on its own.
Suddenly, a refreshing and sweet watermelon fragrance wafted out.
Gu Jianping saw it and said with a smile, "It seems that our watermelon is fully ripe, the water head is good, and the melon is very red." “
The watermelon at home is really good, the watermelon skin is very thin, the flesh of the melon inside is also very red, and the black watermelon seeds are dotted in the flesh of the melon and look very attractive.
Seeing the red and glamorous melon pulp, the saliva flowed in spite of the situation.
With such a big watermelon, they couldn't finish it for a while, so they left half of it and put it in the refrigerator, cut the other half of the watermelon into several large pieces, put it in a pot, and handed it to Lin Shuhua and Gu Jingyun.
As soon as the watermelon entered his mouth, Gu Jingyun couldn't help but squint his eyes and gave his father a thumbs up.
This watermelon is so sweet, the taste is crunchy and refreshing, there is no sourness, the rich watermelon fragrance lingers around your nose, you can eat a bite of this watermelon in this summer, it is simply refreshing.
It is estimated that it tastes better when it is cool, and she has taken a few more bites, which is almost unstoppable.
Gu Jianping saw that his daughter loved to eat, and he was very happy in his heart.
In the past, her daughter was in the capital, and there was no chance for her to taste the watermelon grown at home, but this time she was very happy to be able to eat it.
Gu Jianping took a bite of the watermelon in his hand and sighed, "It's so sweet, this year's melon grows really well." “
After eating the watermelon, Gu Jingyun washed his hands, looked at the sun, and thought that the time was almost up, so he wanted to go to the orchard for a turn.
Her dad asked her where she was going, and she only said that she hadn't been home for a long time, and she wanted to go around.
Gu Jianping thought that his daughter could go out and talk to people more, so he didn't say anything more and continued to weed in the field.
Out of her yard, there was a path next to the house that led to the orchard.
After walking for about 20 minutes, I crossed a mountain pass, and after walking in for a few minutes, I could see a lychee forest at the foot of the mountain in the distance.
The orchard is large in size, with a col in the middle, which connects the foothills of the surrounding mountains, half flat and half sloping.
At this time, there are thousands of lychee trees distributed on this land, densely packed, and it looks very spectacular.
I think it is the reason why many of the original lychee seedlings were sick, and this lychee forest does not look so neat from a distance, one in the east and one in the west.
When she walked in, she saw clearly that the lychee trees here were all bearing fruit, but they were not yet ripe, and the lychee bark was still green.
She looked around the orchard, although the lychees were not well planted, but the boss cleaned up the environment well, and thorn trees were planted around the orchard to prevent some small animals and naughty children from the village from coming to the orchard to make trouble.
