Chapter 493: Watermelon Field

"Okay, since there is no shortage of manpower, Ah Jiu and I will take a break and rest for a while." Xia Qiqi Dao.

"Go, go! Grandma's house, you and Ah Jiu can go to rest! As Mrs. Yu spoke, she drove the two of them into the house, afraid that Xia Qiqi and Lu Jiu would come out to work again.

Xia Qiqi suddenly couldn't cry or laugh.

She and Lu Jiu entered the hall and rested for a while, and Mrs. Yu came in.

"There's nothing to eat at home, grandma fried some sugar and oil balls for you, you can taste them."

The croquettes that have just been fried are still steaming, golden and crispy on top, and are coated with a thick layer of sesame seeds.

Mrs. Yu's face was covered with sweat, and she must have started to prepare this sugar pill as soon as she went to the kitchen.

"Thank you, grandma, you can eat too!" Xia Qiqi took the bowl with the sugar pills and asked Mrs. Yu to eat it too.

Mrs. Yu waved her hand, "Don't, I'm too old to eat sweet!" It's that you and Ah Jiu are still young, eat something sweet, and you can grow up. ”

After saying that, the old man went out.

Xia Qiqi couldn't cry or laugh, and handed a plate of sugar pills to Lu Jiu, "Come, eat more, grow taller!" ”

Lu Jiu looked helpless.

With his height, he doesn't need to grow any longer, but Qiqi, Lu Jiu glanced Xia Qiqi up and down, and returned the sugar and oil balls.

"You eat!"

"You eat!"

The two of you come and go, and no one lets anyone.

In the end, Xia Qiqi stretched out his hand, twisted up a sugar pill, and stuffed it directly into Lu Jiu's mouth.

The sweet taste was cut in his mouth, Lu Jiu chewed a sugar and oil ball, and immediately Xia Qiqi stuffed another one.

"Is it delicious?" She asked.

"Sweet!"

"It's sweet, but this sugar oil ball should be able to put some other fillings, such as bean paste, taro or something."

Xia Qiqi said, stuffing one into his mouth, and sure enough, there was no filling.

"Ah Jiu, just now my grandmother said that the two of us are young, and I suddenly want to know, how old are you! Could it be twenty, or thirty? Forty? ”

The latter words are naturally a joke.

Lu Jiu's appearance is in his early twenties.

However, Xia Qiqi was only fourteen years old, and his family raised his age by three years without authorization, that is, they announced that Lu Jiu was seventeen years old.

But whether it is or not, no one knows.

"Do you really want to know?" Lu Jiu asked suddenly.

In his eyes, there was a seriousness that Xia Qiqi had never seen before.

Xia Qiqi knew what he meant, and hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm joking, whatever happens, I have to go with the flow, I can't be in a hurry!" ”

Only then did Lu Jiu gather his attention and put his attention back on Xia Qiqi.

The two of them were talking, and a plate of sugar and oil balls solved more than half, and the remaining half, Xia Qiqi was left for the people of the Lao Yu family to eat.

Lunch was later than usual, but it was hearty enough.

A large pot of pork stewed vermicelli is placed in the middle of the table, the meat is pork belly, a layer of fatty meat, a layer of lean meat, after stewing, the color is particularly attractive, and then with soft vermicelli, everyone eats, just like the New Year's happy.

"Qiqi girl, you hurry up and eat more, what kind of weight are you so thin, if you don't eat again, you will be blown away by the wind!"

"Ah Jiu, you too, although you are tall and tall, but you don't have to eat, you are strong, I can rest assured that Qiqi will be handed over to you."

Xia Qiqi couldn't laugh or cry.

Family, this is a decision to tie her and Lu Jiu together.

That's it, if it weren't for her young age, she would have to urge marriage.

But when it comes to getting married, she is really not in a hurry at all.

"What my grandmother said is, I will try!" Lu Jiu's face was modest.

Even my grandmother shouted.

Xia Qiqi glared at him, who knew that Lu Jiu directly didn't see it, one grandmother at a time, and sandwiched a lot of dishes for the old lady.

Even the old man didn't miss it, the two old men were coaxed by him to laugh, in fact, he didn't say anything.

A meal is carried out in a relaxed environment......

After lunch, the two brothers, Yu Shun and Yu Fu, took Lu Jiu and Xia Qiqi to the watermelon field to look at the watermelons.

When Xia Qiqi went, he really saw a grass shed.

Originally, she was just talking, but she didn't expect that her second and fifth uncles had really done a good job of the grass shed, and the scale was quite large.

"This grass hut?" Xia Qiqi's face was full of curiosity.

Yu Fu: "This is not far from the watermelon ripe, it has been more than a month, many people in the village are staring at our watermelon, your fifth uncle and I will take turns sleeping in the grass shed from now on, the watermelon in the province is not ripe, all have been emptied!" ”

Although there is still a month before the watermelons are ripe, there are already large watermelons in the watermelon field.

Those people in the village who laughed at the old Yu family at the beginning are now dying of red eyes.

Everyone knows that if the batch of watermelons of the Lao Yu family is ripe, they will definitely make a fortune, after all, they have never seen such a good watermelon when they grow so big.

"It's better to be vigilant! After all, knowing people and knowing faces does not know their hearts, if you only pick a few melons and it is nothing, you are afraid of destruction. Xia Qiqi said.

"Not really!" Yu Shun nodded in agreement.

"But you guys are going to the village with me, what about the watermelon field?" Xia Qiqi had a headache.

"It's okay, your grandfather is well, you can stay here for a few nights, otherwise, let your grandmother come and watch!"

These are extraordinary times, and everyone knows that there are difficulties, and we must overcome them.

Xia Qiqi nodded, "Then trouble the second and fifth uncles, as well as grandpa and grandma!" ”

"What's the trouble, it's not troublesome! Anyway, if you have anything, come to us, and if you come to us, we will be happy. Yu Fudao.

After such a long period of recuperation, Yu Fu is stronger than before.

There is no longer a few steps like in the past, and there is a posture of weak willows supporting the wind.

Xia Qiqi went to the ground, walked around the watermelon field, and picked some small watermelons that were not needed.

The bearing capacity of melon vines is limited, and some watermelons must be discarded, otherwise melons will not absorb enough nutrients and will not grow big.

I casually picked a small basket of unripe watermelons.

The two brothers, Yu Shun and Yu Fu, were distressed.

"Qiqi, we picked too many melons, why did you pick so many more?" Yu Shun asked.

"You two are too light, some of them don't grow big, and I haven't taken them off, I'll help you get them. After picking this melon, you don't need to throw it away, take it back and cut it into slices to make a cold dish. Xia Qiqi said.

"Qiqi, those melons, are they really not big?" Yu Fu is still a little worried.

"That's nature! You said that a mother's belly is well nourished to conceive two children, or one, the child is well nourished. Xia Qiqi asked.

Yu Shun: "One! ”

"Isn't that the end of it! What's more, watermelons can grow very big and have enough nutrition, a watermelon can top several small ones, and you will know when you harvest the melons! ”
