Chapter 530: Eating for Yourself
This time, Liu Yumei came to hug a watermelon.
"Oh, in-laws, I'll bring you something rare to eat." Liu Yumei opened the door curtain with her hand and walked straight in.
Because it is summer, and Mu Hongqiao is pregnant, women always feel hot when they are pregnant, so the door of the house is always open, and the air and electric fan are added together, and the room is very cool.
He Shuanglan looked at Liu Yumei and saw her holding a watermelon, and suddenly became angry.
"I said Yumei, are you shivering at me? Our Li family is not so poor that eating a few cents a pound of watermelon is a rare thing! ”
"Mom, what are you doing here!" Mu Hongqiao also complained to Liu Yumei, feeling that she was really too bad at speaking.
"This watermelon is different from other watermelons! Guarantee you haven't eaten it, what about the knife? Cut it open for you to see. Liu Yumei didn't get annoyed when she saw the two of them say this, she still put the watermelon on the table with a smile on her face, and then looked around to see where the fruit knife was.
"It's a joke, I haven't eaten any watermelon, and I don't make drafts if I brag about it." He Shuanglan sneered.
At this time, Liu Yumei saw the fruit knife, she didn't explain anymore, she picked up the fruit knife directly, and began to cut the watermelon, the watermelon was already ripe, the knife was put on lightly, and the watermelon immediately split in half.
He Shuanglan glanced at the watermelon impatiently, and immediately couldn't take her eyes off.
I saw the cut watermelon, the melon was red and bright with an attractive water, and the most surprising thing was that there were no seeds in it.
"Come and have a taste." Liu Yumei cut the melon into small pieces again, first handed a piece to Mu Hongqiao, and then handed it to He Shuanglan......
He Shuanglan took it unceremoniously and took a big bite, because she ate too quickly and urgently, the red watermelon juice flowed out along the corners of her mouth, compared to Mu Hongqiao, she took a small bite, her eyes suddenly lit up, and then she ate a piece of watermelon one bite after another without stopping.
"Well, it doesn't taste bad." Liu Yumei said with some courtesy, with a look on her face that she wanted to be praised by the two people.
"It's delicious, Mom, this watermelon is so sweet, you don't have to spit out the seeds, where did you buy it?" Mu Hongqiao said and picked up another piece of watermelon.
"What's so strange about this watermelon, I've eaten it before, it's really unknowledgeable to the villagers, what's the matter." He Shuanglan held his head high, and after finishing with a sense of superiority, he also picked up a piece of watermelon and continued to eat.
Liu Yumei and Mu Hongqiao's faces suddenly turned bad, and both of them scolded in their hearts in unison, He Shuanglan looked down on people......
"Hey, don't cut it, keep this half for Guowen to come back and eat." He Shuanglan saw that Liu Yumei raised the fruit knife to cut the remaining half, and hurriedly stopped.
Mu Hongqiao looked at the watermelon with some reluctance, swallowed her saliva hard, she only ate two pieces, and the rest was eaten by He Shuanglan, she hasn't eaten it yet, at this time Mu Hongqiao's heart is like a cat scratch, she really wants to eat it......
Liu Yumei also saw that Mu Hongqiao still wanted to eat, she not only looked at He Shuanglan and pouted, she looked like she was on top all day long, and when she saw that the mouth was delicious, it was not the same as a starving ghost, phew, she had eaten it before, and she bragged.
Fortunately, Li Guowen suddenly came back at this time.
"Guowen, why are you back?" He Shuanglan saw her son and asked with some confusion.
"The overalls are rotten, come back and get a new one." Li Guowen raised his arm as he spoke, only to see a long cut on his sleeve.
"Quickly change it, I'll make up for you, you're not hurt, right?" He Shuanglan stepped forward and took Li Guowen's arm and looked at it.
"No, hey, you buy seedless watermelon and eat it." Li Guowen was about to go into the back room to change clothes, when he suddenly saw half of the watermelon on the table.
Hearing Li Guowen shout the name of the watermelon, He Shuanglan was overjoyed, and she said, well, her son is well-informed, and he must have eaten it. Liu Yumei's eyes were a little sneering, it turned out that He Shuanglan didn't brag, they recognized this seedless watermelon.
And Mu Hongqiao was in her heart, when did Li Guowen eat this watermelon, she remembered that the year before last, Li Guowen was troublesome to eat watermelon and spit out seeds, and joked at the time that it would be nice if there was a seedless watermelon...... If he had eaten this watermelon recently, why didn't he eat it himself instead of bringing it back to her to taste it, she was pregnant and pregnant with a child, why didn't he think about himself more!
However, Mu Hongqiao wronged Li Guowen this time, Li Guowen just went to a worker's house last year to sit as a guest, and they bought this kind of melon, he was embarrassed to ask where they bought it, and he felt that he didn't know how much he didn't know, and the people of the worker's family didn't mention it, and they didn't mention it, and they didn't mention it in the leader, and he came to introduce this kind of melon again, as if the leader didn't know it......
So everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the melon after eating it......
Li Guowen later inquired in the county, but he didn't inquire, some people thought he was crazy, whimsical, how could the watermelon have no seeds, but some people told him that this kind of melon was sold by a little girl, and it is said to be called seedless watermelon......
Li Guowen secretly wrote down the name of this melon, but he waited until the autumn watermelon was off the market, and he never saw this watermelon again......
Unexpectedly, just when Li Guowen was about to forget this kind of watermelon, he took this watermelon but sent it to the door.
"Hongqiao's mother brought it, this is for you, you eat first, and then go busy after eating, Mom will bring you a spoon." As she spoke, He Shuanglan stood up and went to the wooden cabinet where the dishes and chopsticks were placed, and took out a small iron spoon.
Li Guowen took the small iron spoon, first of all, he dug towards the heart of the melon, which piece was the sweetest, and the melon was really as sweet as he imagined, Li Guowen couldn't help but squint his eyes with satisfaction.
Mu Hongqiao swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Where did you buy this seedless watermelon?" Li Guowen asked Liu Yumei while eating.
"I bought it in the village." Liu Yumei told the truth.
“???????” Li Guowen raised his head and looked surprised, when did Yingwu Village have this kind of melon, why had he never eaten it before?
"Huh? From our village? Mu Hongqiao exclaimed.
"That's right, this is planted by Hongqiao's second uncle's family, what is the new variety of the provincial capital, I originally brought it to you to taste fresh, but I didn't expect the people in the city to be knowledgeable, you all knew it, it seems that only we hillbillies treat this as a rare thing."
Liu Yumei's words, He Shuanglan and Li Guowen both blushed a little, they didn't know much about this seedless watermelon......
