Chapter 663: Grow Watermelons Together
When the little girl saw Mu Xiu, she giggled, although her face was red from the cold, but her whole body was very clean, it seemed that Aunt Chen was also attentive.
"Raising a child is really urging people to grow old, and the appearance of being born is still in my mind, and this is already gone." Aunt Chen also walked over and squatted down to look at the little girl.
"Did you get a name?" Mu Xiu held a handful of snow, and the little girl's hand came up.
"It's called Miao Miao, Chen Miaomiao, good Miao doesn't worry about growing, the name you Uncle Chen gave me." Aunt Chen touched Miao Miao's head, her face full of love.
"Good name, by the way, this is a new gadget I brought back from the capital, just for Miao Miao to play with." Mu Xiu took out a rag doll from the basket.
"Ahhh Miao Miao saw it and pointed at the rag doll and screamed.
Mu Xiu handed the doll to Miao Miao, and Miao Miao immediately hugged it in a decent way, and gently patted the doll with her hand, just like Aunt Chen coaxed Miao Miao to sleep.
"Hahaha, Miao Miao, do you want to coax the little doll to sleep?" Aunt Chen immediately laughed when she saw her daughter's immature behavior.
"Ahh Miao Miao had a tone in her mouth, although she couldn't understand it, she looked very happy.
"Thank you, Mu Xiu, and still think about my Miaomiao." Seeing that her daughter was happy, Aunt Chen was even happier.
"Aunt Chen, this basket is full of candy and chocolate, as well as bacon made by yourself, you put it away, what about my Uncle Chen?" Mu Xiu handed the basket to Aunt Chen and looked around.
"Look at you, every time you come empty-handed, I'm embarrassed."
"It's all ordinary things, so don't see me."
"Okay, then I'll take it, your Uncle Chen is in the house, you go in, I'll play with Miao Miao for a while."
"Okay, it's cold outside, keep warm." Mu Xiu said uneasily.
"Look at you, you're more worried than me, a mother, come in." Aunt Chen said with a smile.
Mu Xiu pushed open the door of the hall, and the stove was burning in the house, which was warm, and Mu Xiu felt relieved.
"Mu Xiu, you're here." Chen Xiangyang was sitting by the fire, holding diapers and baking, and there were a few pairs of shoes beside him, which seemed to be Miao Miao's.
"Uncle Chen." Mu Xiu went to the stove and sat down.
I haven't seen him for a few months, Chen Xiangyang's hair is grayer again, and the whole person is much older, thinking about Aunt Chen outside, she is also looking old, it seems that it has been very hard recently.
"You're on winter vacation, how's the capital going?"
"It's just that the building is higher, there are more people, and there are more things, I still think our village is good." Mu Xiu is telling the truth, she has seen no matter how prosperous the city is, not to mention, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as her own kennel.
"I don't believe it, if it's not as good as the village outside, then why do everyone have to go to the big city, you, you've learned to trick me......" Chen Xiangyang thought of his son, who hadn't come back for two years, and sighed in his heart, I don't know if this unfilial son will come back for the Chinese New Year this year.
"Really, Uncle Chen, if you don't believe it, I'll take you to the capital to see it when I get back......" Mu Xiu said with a smile.
"Good...... Ha ......" As soon as Chen Xiangyang finished speaking, he yawned big.
"Uncle Chen, you and Aunt Chen are very tired of taking care of Miao Miao." Mu Xiu couldn't help but ask.
"We are all a handful of years old, and our energy is a little insufficient, Miao Miao is now sleeping unsteadily at night, and we haven't slept well for several months."
"Raising a child is hard, my sister Xiaohua has also tormented my father and mother for almost two years, and you will be liberated after persisting for a year and a half." Although Mu Xiu has never raised a child, she knows that it is not easy to see the efforts of Zhou Shuilian and Mu Shui.
"Children are the debt of their parents." Chen Xiangyang sighed, and then said, "You came today, what's the matter?" ”
"Uncle Chen, then I'll talk about it." Mu Xiu straightened out his thoughts.
"This year, my family continues to grow seedless watermelons, but I need more, so I want Uncle Chen to help ask, who is willing to plant them together this year, and I will buy them for a dime and a half per catty."
"How many catties of seedless watermelon is an acre of land?" Chen Xiangyang immediately became interested, and he knew that Mu Xiu's seedless watermelons were selling well, and there were many red-eyed people in the village, so it would be great if they could grow them together.
"The yield per mu is about 4,100 catties." Mu Xiu did the math and continued: "That is to say, the gross profit of one acre of land is 615 yuan, this watermelon is easy to serve, and the growth cycle only takes more than 4 months, which does not prevent the planting of corn, rice and other crops." ”
"Right now, even if you grow crops, you work hard for a year, and you can get 100 or 80 watermelons, this kind of watermelon, just one season, even if you earn half of it, there are 300, this is good." Chen Xiangyang patted his thigh and said happily.
"However, we only need to plant another thirty-six acres now, Uncle Chen, you can help ask, as long as the family has land, just make up enough of these, and, the ugly words are ahead, this melon can be eaten at home, but it can't be sold outside privately, once found, to be held responsible, before planting melons, you have to sign a contract." Mu Xiu said solemnly.
Chen Xiangyang pondered for a moment, yes, if someone outside buys it at a higher price, it is really not sure who will sell the melon, it seems that he has to find those honest and reliable people.
"I'll help you ask, it's going to take some time, you can come to me tomorrow night." Chen Xiangyang said.
"Then I'll trouble you, I remember that your family doesn't have an acre of land? Why don't you plant some too? ”
"Okay, I'll try it with you." Chen Xiangyang was also moved when he thought of the hundreds of yuan.
"Then I'll go home first, and I'll come tomorrow." Mu Xiu stood up and walked out of the door, and didn't forget to say to Aunt Chen: "Aunt Chen, there are many people in my house now, if you are tired and too busy to take a break, send Miao Miao to my house, I will also come back, and Xiaohua can also play with me for a day." ”
"Okay, I remember, if you really have something, I'll send Miao Miao to your house." Aunt Chen responded, if this Miao Miao is sent to the Mu family, she is most at ease, knowing that the other party is a reliable person, Zhou Shuilian also said before, but she is embarrassed, the Mu family is also a lot of things, now that Mu Xiu is back, she will take Miao Miao to sit with the Mu family when she turns around.
On the way back, Mu Xiu passed by the village clinic and thought that the adhesive tape at home had run out, so he walked in.
"Doctor Zhang, get me a roll of adhesive tape." Mu Xiu said to Lao Zhang behind the counter.
"Mu Xiu, you're back." Lao Zhang heard the voice, looked up and saw Mu Xiu, and said with a smile.
"Yes, I'll go home for the New Year."
"You wait, I'll get it for you." Lao Zhang stood up, took out two rolls of adhesive tape from the cabinet, and handed them to Mu Xiu.
