"Hmm."

Li Ruchang just answered softly, and there was no change on his face, still splitting the big pieces of wood.

"Ah, I really want to return a watermelon in the water, I'm going to take it out, this weather, I have to eat ice watermelon to enjoy it the most."

Zhao Jijiao remembered that she had bought a watermelon and came back today, so she hurriedly ran to a small stream not far from the house, this stream water flowed out of the mountain, and she didn't know where the source was, but the water was very clear and cool. The watermelon is tied with a rope, put it in the water, and press the other end of the rope with a big stone to prevent the watermelon from being washed away by the stream.

"Here, eat watermelon."

Zhao Jijiao cut the watermelon, the red flesh inside was crystal clear, and the juice water flowed on the cutting board, which was cold, and on this hot day, you should eat this kind of ice fruit.

"Well, that's sweet!"

As soon as you bite into it, the juicy watermelon slides down your mouth to your neck, and the hand holding the watermelon is also full of watermelon juice.

"It's delicious, it's delicious, Xianggong, you can taste it too, these two taels of silver are not in vain."

Zhao Jiaojiao bit the watermelon's mouth non-stop, and did not forget to tell Li Ruchang to taste it quickly, the black boy sometimes spit it out, and sometimes ate it directly into the stomach with the pulp. She is not a real child, and she is not afraid that any watermelon will take root and sprout in her stomach.

"It's delicious, you eat more yourself, I don't like sweets."

After Li ate two pieces as usual, he stopped talking, he didn't coax Zhao Jiaojiao, he really didn't like sweetness, this iced watermelon can be considered to quench his thirst and cool off, but it is enough to eat two pieces.

"Ah, but there is still more than half of it in the kitchen, and I can't eat it all by myself, so I would have bought a small one if I knew it."

It's not good to put the watermelon back in the stream and ice it when it's cut, but you can put it in the kitchen, and it won't ice for a while.

"Then you might as well take it to your brother to eat, come on, he will like it."

Li often remembered that when he came back, he met Zhao Huiwen, children should love sweets, don't they all want him to bring him candy tomorrow.

"Well, too, after all, it's already ...... That's okay, Xianggong, you chop wood first, and I'll go back when I go. ”

Zhao Jijiao actually doesn't want to deal with the original owner's family, although she can understand their behavior of buying and selling her daughter, but in her heart, I don't know if the original owner is doing something wrong or her own disgust, she is always a little uncomfortable. But no matter what, since she has crossed over to the original owner, she naturally has to accept everything from the original owner. Besides, the original owner's family actually didn't have much of her, but she was born in an era of material scarcity, and was born in an era that paid attention to "raising children and preventing old age".

Zhao put half of the watermelon into the basket and covered it with a cloth to prevent others from looking at it at a glance. After all, she still understands the truth that wealth is not exposed, although the people here are very simple, it may be better to avoid some accidents, and save more rights and wrongs.

"Brother Wen! Brother Wen! Are you at home? ”

Zhao Jijiao's original home was at the entrance of the village, and Zhao Jijiao walked over quickly, and arrived after a while.

"Hey, sister, it's my sister who is back, milk, my sister is back! Sister, I'm here, I'll open the door for you. ”

Zhao Huiwen ran to the gate quickly, opened the door, and welcomed the guest Zhao Jijiao in, Zhao's grandmother was cooking in the kitchen, but when she heard that her granddaughter was back, the previous worries came back again.

"What did you do when you came back? Now that he is married to Li Orion, he should stay at his house and do laundry and cook for him. ”

Grandma Zhao came out and saw that Zhao Auntie was still carrying a basket, thinking that she was afraid that she was really here to fight the autumn wind.

"Go, go, I don't have anything else to eat at home, just these few sweet potatoes, you can take them and go back quickly."

Grandma Zhao turned around and went into the kitchen, took out four or five sweet potatoes of different sizes, and stuffed them into the basket that Zhao Auntie was carrying.

"Milk, I didn't ask you for something, my father-in-law went to the town today, bought a melon and came back, and asked me to send half of it back."

Of course, Zhao Jijiao would not say that they couldn't finish eating and sent half of it. As he spoke, he lifted the cloth from the basket, revealing the red and green watermelons inside. Fortunately, Zhao Jijiao walked fast, and this watermelon is still a little cool.

"Where's Daddy and Mommy? I put this melon in the water and iced it, but it can relieve the heat, hurry up and ask my father and mother to come back and eat it together, if you don't eat it, it will be bad. ”

Zhao Jijiao didn't see Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, thinking that they should still be working in the fields and preparing to call, but they came back.

"Dad, mother, come and eat melons, it's sweet."

Zhao Jijiao shouted to her father and mother, and pulled Zhao's mother to the table.

"Wow, sister, is this what kind of melon? It's so beautiful, milk, I want to eat melon! ”

Zhao Huiwen was drooling as early as the first time he saw the watermelon. But Grandma Zhao was stunned, didn't she come to fight the autumn wind? Why didn't you ask her for food, and sent them expensive melons?

"Hehe, I'll go get the knife, you all have a good taste, don't be reluctant, it will be bad after a while, people won't be able to eat it, you can only feed the chickens."

Zhao Jijiao said as she walked, entered the kitchen, took a kitchen knife, washed it with water, and then cut the half of the watermelon into four pieces, and gave them one by one.

"Milk, father, mother, you should eat quickly, if you don't eat again, Brother Wen will rob you."

Zhao Huiwen couldn't wait for Zhao Jiwen to be fine, so he took the first piece directly, and the clothes he ate were stained with watermelon juice, and he didn't forget to say "It's delicious, it's delicious, it's delicious!" ”

Grandma Zhao looked at the watermelon in her hand blankly, her eyes seemed to be fascinated by something, and she needed to get some water to wash it. And Zhao's father was just silent, and after taking the first bite, he took one bite after another, but he finished eating it before Zhao Huiwen.

But Mother Zhao took the knife and divided her share into three parts, and she only took the smallest piece and ate it with her head down. Zhao Huiwen saw that his mother shared him again, and he was happy to fly to the sky.

"Mother, you eat it yourself, I ate it at home."

Zhao Jijiao has never felt maternal love, she was born with her grandmother, and her mother, she has never seen, I heard the neighbors say, her mother is competitive, but her biological father is a worthless, if it weren't for the grandmother forced her mother to go on a blind date, and the mother who was just in her early 20s directly found her biological father outside, and came to marry a son, as a result, after marriage, I found that the two were not suitable at all, after the divorce, I left the one-year-old Zhao Jijiao to my grandmother and grandfather, and I came back every year, but I didn't come back once.

No one can blame anyone for this, but it can only be said that fate makes people.

"Big girl, there is still a basket of eggs at home, you can bring it back to your man to replenish his body later."

Zhao's father, who had finished eating the watermelon, had been sitting on the side, his eyes looking ahead, not knowing what he was thinking. Suddenly, when she said this, Zhao Jijiao was surprised.
