Chapter 229: Jealousy

"This is seedless watermelon, that's it, I didn't expect to be able to eat seedless watermelon so soon." Mu Xiaocao saw it, picked up a piece of watermelon without care, and said while eating: "Well, it's delicious, everyone eat it quickly." ”

"Xiu, where did you get the watermelon seeds?" Mu Xiu was stunned, but he didn't expect Mu Xiaocao to ask this question while eating watermelon.

"The seeds that Grandpa Lu gave me were called seedless watermelons, and they were very delicious to grow, so I tried them." Mu Xiu pulled Lu Niandong out as a shield again.

"But, sister, do you know so much about seedless watermelons?" Mu Xiu's fluttering words made Mu Xiaocao start to be annoyed, why did she talk so much.

"I also listen to other people." After Mu Xiaocao replied randomly, he buried his head and began to eat watermelon.

Mu Xiu smiled and didn't ask any more, a watermelon, about six catties, was quickly eaten by four people, compared to cutting it into pieces and eating it, Mu Xiu preferred to cut the watermelon in half, take a spoon and dig it to eat.

"This watermelon is so delicious, you don't have to bother spitting out the seeds." Chen Xuhui wiped his mouth and said a little unsatisfied.

"Look at the melon stalks, the green ones are ripe, and the black-brown ones are not ripe. There is also listening to the sound, hearing the "bang" sound, it is a ripe melon, the "dangdang" sound is not yet ripe, the "poof" sound is overcooked, take it off and put it aside, you can't eat it. Mu Xiu patiently explained and demonstrated, and everyone soon began to pick watermelons.

One acre of land planted 6,000 watermelons, according to the calculation of eight catties of a watermelon, the yield per mu is 4,800 catties of watermelons, and Mu Xiu's family planted two acres of watermelons, that is, 9,600 catties of watermelons, even if there are ripe ones, according to the calculation of 1,000 catties, the 8,600 catties of watermelons are also very considerable.

Everyone was busy for half a month before the watermelons were put away, and now in the village, only Mu Xiu's family is watermelons, and many of the villagers come to buy watermelons to eat. Mu Xiu sold it to the villagers for a pound and a dime, and even sold it for 4,000 catties.

For the remaining 4,600 catties of watermelons, Mu Xiu sent two watermelons to Chen Xiangyang, and left more than a dozen watermelons at home, which entered the county seat four times, and sold them all at the price of one catty and two cents, and the gross profit was 1,200 yuan for the watermelon.

Mu Xiu took out 400 yuan for Zhou Shuilian as a family, and gave Chen Xuhui 200 yuan, and she kept the rest of the money.

Next, when the corn, soybeans, peanuts, and sweet potatoes are ripe, Mu Xiu and her sisters will plough the sesame and watermelon fields, put on fertilizer, and wait for the fertilizer to be applied, and then start planting wheat.

Now Mu Xiu's family, when the people in the village mention it, they are all envious, when the family is a little bit of land, counting, the whole village, his family and Chen Xuhui have the worst life, but I didn't expect that this is less than a year, and these two families are the first in the village.

Especially Chen Xuhui, everyone has to say that he has a good life, and somehow he climbed to Mushui's house, it is simply a big luck, and now, watching him not only live in a good house with Mushui, but also collect a lot of food.

The tattered clothes on his body before are gone, replaced by new and good clothes, not to mention his face, which used to be black and scarred, but now if you don't look closely, you can't see it.

In addition, now that he eats well and his nutrition has kept up, Chen Xuhui is not only a lot taller, but also looks more burly and tall, and he looks a little handsome, which is just like the two of them before.

If it weren't for the people in the village watching Chen Xuhui change step by step, everyone might have thought that he had changed someone.

Chen Xuhui also noticed the changes on his face, Mu Xiu gave him the ointment to wipe his face, he had already used up several tubes, he watched his scars slowly reduce, and his heart was also ecstatic.

Who doesn't care about their appearance, Chen Xuhui never thought that one day he would be able to change to this, so Chen Xuhui was even more grateful to Mu Xiu in his heart.

"Sleep, sleep, sleep, I'm too lazy like a pig all day long, everything at home has to be done by my mother, hurry up for me." After Zhao Junlan fed the chickens, she came back and saw Chen Xifu still lying on the bed and sleeping, thinking of Chen Xuhui's life in the village recently, she couldn't help but feel a fire in her stomach.

"What's the matter, it's early in the morning, and I don't let people sleep!" Chen Xifu was woken up in his sleep, and after he shouted irritably, he turned his head in a different direction and continued to sleep with his face turned inward.

"You can still sleep in, everyone else eats and drinks spicy food, and you dress brightly and neatly, what kind of life I live with you! Can you still sleep? Zhao Junlan yelled angrily at Chen Xifu.

"Someone else, someone else! If I hadn't listened to you and kicked the boss out, I would have been able to get the boss out by now. Chen Xifu lifted the thin sheet covering his body and looked at Zhao Junlan with a resentful face.

Chen Xifu has been ridiculed many times outside because of Chen Xuhui's affairs, and he began to complain a little about Zhao Junlan in his heart, if it weren't for her, how could he have kicked Chen Xuhui out of the door!

"Don't be funny, if he had been in this house, would he have been able to catch the wooden water? Can you live the life you are living now? Are you still stained with him? I have long been eaten by this little bastard, and besides, it is not for the safety of our son to drive him away! Zhao Junlan retorted.

"Who the hell is funny, don't think I don't know, who set the fire at home." Chen Xifu said even more angrily.

"You... What do you mean by that? Zhao Junlan's tone hesitated.

"What do I mean, Chen Huan told me!" Chen Xifu squinted at Zhao Junlan.

"You believe what he says as a child! Chen Qing was so young at that time, how could he set it on fire? Zhao Junlan's eyes fluttered a little.

"I haven't even said Chen Qing, you know it's him?" Chen Xifu grabbed Zhao Junlan's words, and after he asked a rhetorical question, he continued: "Not only do I know that the fire at home was set by Chen Qing, but the house of Xuhui was also set by Chen Qing before!" ”

"You! Okay, don't pretend to be a good person now, since you already knew, it's not that you don't say anything, it's not that you're afraid that the little mongrel will spend food after coming back, where is the face to say I, bah, shameless, when X has to set up an archway. Zhao Junlan saw that Chen Xifu already knew, so she simply didn't pretend, and directly crossed her hands on her waist and began to scold.

"You! You've taught my son badly! Chen Xifu heard Zhao Junlan scolding him, and a slap hit Zhao Junlan in the face.

"How dare you hit me! I'm fighting with you! Zhao Junlan was slapped in the face, she was so angry that she screamed and pounced on Chen Xifu.
