Hao Jian is lying on the bed and getting hotter and hotter, forget it, such a good time, it is a waste to sleep, as the saying goes, eating a little sweet after a meal can help digestion and cool off. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

So Hao Jian went downstairs in a hurry, the watermelon was chilled in a bucket of cold water, it seems that he has to find a time to buy a refrigerator for his parents to come back, otherwise it will not be convenient at all. He took out the watermelon that had been chilled in the water, took out the fruit knife and cut it into pieces in three or two clicks.

Hao Jian put the cut watermelon on the plate, held it in his hand, walked to the door of his parents' bedroom, and heard a lot of noise from the TV inside, it was estimated that his mother had not slept yet, so he knocked on the door of the TV room and said softly: "Mom, open the door, eat watermelon or not." ”

Hao Jian first heard the sound of someone wearing slippers, and then the door creaked open, and sure enough, he guessed Hao Mama correctly, she didn't fall asleep at all, she was watching Zhejiang Satellite TV's variety show "Run!" Brother", Hao's father was sleeping soundly and was snoring, and the snoring could simply suppress the laughter of the variety show.

"Son, why haven't you slept at such a late hour?" Hao's mother walked out in pajamas and slippers, and then half-closed the door so as not to wake up Hao's father. Hao's father was very tired from working during the day, and Hao's mother couldn't bear to wake him up and delay him from resting.

"It was so hot that I couldn't sleep, so I cut the watermelon and ate it, and I forgot to tell you about it during the day. Just tasted a piece of it, this watermelon is so sweet. Mom, why don't you try a piece and try it? After that, Hao Jian picked up a piece of red watermelon on the plate, sneered a few times and ate it cleanly, and the red juice of the watermelon dripped down his mouth.

"Look at you stupid boy, eat slowly, don't choke, is it really that delicious? I'll taste it. Hao's mother also took a piece of watermelon, she was about to put her mouth down, and then looked up and asked, "By the way, where did you buy it?" It's been a long time since we've sold watermelons! ”

"Oh, I bought it from an old man. That's right, today I came back after charging the phone bill, on the way back, that is, on the road next to the bridge, I saw an old man who pushed a cart and sold watermelons, and I found that his watermelons were quite big and beautiful, so I bought them. Hao Jian was eating vigorously, and he had already eaten three pieces of watermelon. However, he didn't mean to be full at all, he felt that his stomach was still empty, and he still wanted to eat.

"Yo, when did another melon seller come? Son, you don't know, since the last time Uncle Li who sold melons had an accident, no one wants to come to us to sell watermelons! ”

"No, isn't Mom joking with me, there are still people selling watermelons?!" Hao Jian chuckled in his heart, so that he couldn't eat the watermelon, and he was about to take a mouthful, his mouth opened in mid-air, and he was surprised into a goose egg mouth.

"I didn't lie to you, Uncle Li, who sold watermelons, didn't know what he couldn't think of, so he actually committed suicide by throwing himself into the river. Just under the stone arch bridge next to him, his body was already white, and his facial features had been blistered so that he couldn't recognize it, and then floated to the river, and then floated to the Jinsha ditch below the village, before being discovered by others! So, with such a big human life, no one in our village has dared to come and sell watermelons for several years! said that he was afraid that Uncle Li would come back to them to ask for his life, but it was scary. Hao's mother took a few bites of watermelon, and when she talked about it, she was not in the mood to eat watermelon, so she simply went to the hall to find a stool and sit down, and told Hao Jian about what happened a few years ago.

"Mom, do you know why he committed suicide? Have you heard anyone else say it? Hao Jian also found a stool to sit down, a little unbelievable, a person who usually sells melons and sells well, suddenly one day for no reason he can't think of committing suicide by throwing himself into the river, strange.

"Yes, at that time, we all thought it was strange, there was a lot of discussion in the village and outside the village, some people said that he was because he had a quarrel with the person who bought the melon, he couldn't think about it, and he committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, and some people said that because someone stole his watermelon, he lost a lot, so he couldn't think about it, and committed suicide by throwing himself into the river, anyway, there are various versions. Anyway, I think it's a pity, then Uncle Li, I also bought watermelons at his house before, I think others are very good, it's a pity. ”

"I remember that the melon tasted exactly the same as this melon. It's a pity for melons, and it's a pity for people. Saying that, Hao's mother took a bite of the watermelon with her mouth, and the watermelon that she thought was very sweet just now was tasteless this time.

Hao Jian said with a little palpitation: "Mom, it's a big night, can you not scare me, by the way, the Uncle Li who sells melons you are talking about, is he wearing a straw hat?" Hao Jian was a little suspicious in his heart, suspecting that the Uncle Li he met today was Uncle Li who had committed suicide by throwing himself into the river.

"yes, he seems to be wearing a straw hat all the time. But son, how do you know? Hao's mother began to wonder. When Uncle Li had an accident, Hao Jian was still working outside, so it stands to reason that he shouldn't know this.

"Mom, do you carefully recall that Uncle Li, does he often use a cart to go to the river to sell watermelons? Did he build a small carport on the roof of his car, and still block part of the sun?! ”

"Yes, son, have you heard anyone say that you pushed a cart to the river to buy watermelons, really, I remember that the carport was still blue at that time." Hao's mother recalled and exclaimed: "By the way, I remember, there is also a paper sign, which often says 1 yuan 5, 1 catty, if it is not delicious, don't pay for it, and don't miss it when you pass by." ”

Hao Jian recalled the scene at that time, when a small canopy was put on the roof of Uncle Li's cart to block part of the sunlight. Maintain the freshness of the watermelon, between the green watermelons, there is also a paper sign on it, which reads: Sell melons, don't eat and don't need money, 1 piece 5, 1 catty, good melons quench your thirst, pack you satisfied, pack you cool, don't miss it when you pass by.

"Mom, does Uncle Li take the initiative to invite you to eat his watermelon every time? And when he bought melons and left, he also asked you to help recommend, recommending their old Li's big watermelons to be fragrant, sweet and delicious? ”

"yes, yes, son, how do you know that? It stands to reason that you shouldn't know these things?! Hao's mother's eyes flashed with surprise, her hands trembled a little, her body leaned back, and there was a trace of inexplicable fear in her eyes, what happened to her son today? Why do you keep asking me about a dead man? It's scary, it's the middle of the night.

Since Hao Jian ate so much watermelon just now, the red watermelon juice flowed from the corners of his mouth, and he looked quite like a ghost!
