Chapter 168: Busy planting melons in spring
Dongmei took a deep breath and responded, "It's a cold melon seedling, a seedling that bears a cold melon." β
Cold melon?
The village chief and Uncle Zhao glanced at each other, both a little confused.
"Sister-in-law Ye, is the kind of cold melon you are talking about very expensive and passed down from foreign tribes in the west?"
"Yes," Dongmei nodded, and she was also apprehensive in her heart, after all, she had never seen cold melon seedlings, but the little ancestor had just told her clearly, and there was even a way to plant them.
She couldn't figure out where Childe found the cold melon seedlings, or even... Maybe this melon seedling was not found by Childe.
Of course, she can't say the second half of the sentence, and she doesn't dare to say it.
The village chief and Uncle Zhao had already rushed to the cold melon seedlings, and their eyes were full of green, which made them ecstatic.
"If this little seedling is planted, it will be able to produce cold melons? I heard that each cold melon has more than a dozen catties! β
"I guess it's like a pumpkin, it's all climbing vines."
"What can we do, we don't know how to grow it. Where did Ye Gongzi find such a precious thing! If we can't plant it, we'll waste it. β
Dongmei could only say, "Hangua likes sandy land, and it is appropriate to plant it on the river beach at this time." You don't have to worry too much about weekdays, just pinch the tip for another month. β
"So easy?" The village chief and Uncle Zhao were even happier when they heard this, and hurriedly went back and shouted to the villagers to get up quickly.
The river beach has not had time to pick up yet, so we must concentrate all the manpower and open a few acres of land to plant the cold melon seedlings.
The villagers were sleepy-eyed, so they took their pickaxes and followed the village chief to the ground.
When I heard that the cold melon seedlings that Ye Gongzi found were more expensive, everyone was like a chicken blood.
Even if the cold melon that bears in the end can't be sold, it's good for everyone to open their eyes and satisfy their hunger for all ages.
And at this moment, Jiayin was drooling while sleeping on the quilt.
Pity her at such a young age, she stayed up for most of the night, and it really delayed her growing flesh too much.
When the family saw that she was sleeping sweetly, they were all light and did not want to wake her up.
But this is noon, the old lady is in a hurry, although the granddaughter has no fever, and there is no uncomfortable appearance, but she can't sleep all the time.
"Fu Niu, grandma has steamed egg custard for you, get up and eat?"
"Sleepy, sleep." Jia Yin answered, turned over and went to sleep.
The old lady was even more worried, hugged her granddaughter in her arms, and teased.
"If you don't get up again, the custard will be eaten by your brother."
Jia An Jiaxi immediately made a gobbling sound next to him, and shouted at the end.
"It's delicious, it's delicious!"
"It's fragrant, it's so fragrant, it's good to eat egg custard every day."
Jiayin really had no choice but to yawn and open his eyes, and his filial granddaughter was forced to go into business.
The old lady was so happy that she coaxed her granddaughter to eat half a bowl of custard, and gave the remaining half bowl to her grandson.
She was afraid that her granddaughter would sleep again and be sleepy at night, so she pulled her back and carried her granddaughter to the river beach to watch everyone plant cold melon seedlings.
Of course, Jia An Jiaxi couldn't miss this excitement, and he followed behind, pulling the small wildflowers on the side of the road to his sister from time to time, making a fuss like two jumping monkeys.
The village chief was standing on the ground and clicking the cigarette pouch pot, and when he saw Mrs. Li coming, he smiled.
"Big sister, if you don't come, I'll go to you too."
"Village chief, is there something wrong?" Although Mrs. Li's arrow wound was healed, her body was still weak, and she was a little out of breath after walking for such a while.
Jiayin hurriedly struggled to get off the old lady's back, and only hugged the old lady's thigh.
The village chief's cigarette pouch pot lit the cold melon seedlings in the field, "This thing is the golden pimple that Ye Gongzi found, I'm afraid that the beasts on the mountain, or someone nearby will come to scourge." It just so happened that the boys were idle and naughty, so I found something for them to do.
"In the future, let them be responsible for guarding this cold melon field. Jia An Jiaxi is the smartest and smartest, let the two of them lead the team, and guard two shifts during the day. It's too dark at night, and it's dangerous, let the fourth one be responsible! β
Jia Anjia was happy to hear that they could be responsible for such an important task, but he was overjoyed.
They looked at their grandmother for fear that they would not agree.
Of course, Mrs. Li agreed a hundred times, the last time her grandson was naughty and almost burned her granddaughter, she was thinking about it.
But these boys say that they are not big, they say that they are not small, it is really difficult to arrange work, and if they are injured and tired, they have nowhere to regret it.
Now, the job of guarding the melon fields is simply too suitable.
So, she agreed, "Okay, big brother, you can arrange it." Find something for the kids, and save them from being naughty everywhere. β
"Ah, great, we have an errand too!" Jia An Jiaxi was overjoyed, and immediately went to find their little friends to report the good news.
Jiayin hugged her grandmother's thigh and secretly laughed.
Brothers are so naΓ―ve, watching melons is easy, but it's also boring.
They are afraid that they will not last two days, and they will regret it.
But unexpectedly, this time Jia Yin guessed wrong.
Jia An Jiaxi took seven or eight naughty boys, and he really started to be an old melon farmer.
One shift in the morning, one shift in the afternoon, guarding a few acres of melon fields, not to mention the little beasts gnawing melon seedlings, even the birds are not allowed to settle down...
Not to mention the broken gold beach, the old and young busy feet do not touch the ground, only say that on the side of Jiaojia Zhuangzi, Wu Gouzi's daughter-in-law has not slept well for two or three days.
Hu Laosan said that he would come back in two days, as long as he inquired about the details of the little girl of the Li family, he would never stay longer.
And although the combination of the two of them is a bit shameful, now is the time when the love is strong, it is impossible for Hu Laosan to take a fancy to others, and he can't sneak back.
Hu Laosan must have had an accident!
She couldn't bear it, so she secretly wanted to go to the courtyard of the main family to have a look, after all, Hu Laosan was arranged by the main family to be a spy.
As a result, she rushed to the vicinity of the courtyard of the main house, and a group of people came outside the Zhuangzi, some on horseback and some in a car.
And after the tall horse that the man was riding, he actually dragged Hu Laosan.
I don't know how far he was dragged, Hu Laosan was already covered in blood and half dead.
Wu Gouzi's daughter-in-law screamed in surprise and pounced.
"Third, what's wrong with you, third!"
The person who dismounted was the Marquis of Dingbei, he frowned tightly, and his anger was full of nowhere to vent, when he saw a woman pounce forward, raised her foot and kicked out.
"What's that? Bundle it up! β
Immediately, a guard stepped forward and tied up Wu Gouzi's daughter-in-law and threw him together with Hu Laosan, who was unconscious.
Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng got out of the carriage, only glanced at it, and ignored it.
But when they looked at the Marquis of Dingbei, they were a little more disdainful.
The dignified military marquis, who has no way to govern the family, but is angry and angry with the slaves and women, what a good bearing!
Dingbei Hou didn't care what they thought, so he raised his feet and entered the courtyard.
Jiao's was also worried in the house, and the people sent out didn't come back to report for several days, and she always felt that she didn't know the bottom of her heart.
But Mrs. Jiao didn't care, "What are you worried about, it's just a group of untouchables, just find a problem, what else can you do?" You are the Marquis of Dingbei! β
Jiao Shi wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back to his mouth.
