Chapter 88: The watermelon sent by my aunt
Ma Hongxia and Lotus were chatting very excitedly, and the "Hari" and "Xiri" who were guarding outside probably couldn't wait, so they called twice.
Hongxia quickly turned to the topic and said the purpose of the store: Sister Lotus, look at me, I forgot what I wanted to do as soon as I chatted. Do you still have watermelons at home? I'm going to buy two.
The lotus said generously: Yes. What else do you want to buy, just take two and go back to eat.
Hongxia said seriously: Sister Lotus, no. I have a special use for this watermelon, I must buy it, as much as I want.
Lotus suddenly understood and said: Hongxia, don't say it, I know what's going on. I'll pick two for you.
Lotus tears swirled in her eyes, and she seriously picked two big watermelons, weighed the accounts, and collected the money.
Hongxia was just about to leave, and the lotus said: Wait.
Lotus turned around and went into the warehouse again, took out a watermelon that was bigger than the two just now, and said to Hongxia: "Sister, I know what you are doing with watermelons." This is the biggest one, it is my heart and your brother-in-law's heart, you can help me bring it. The child wanted to eat watermelon when he left—all—didn't eat it—
The lotus cried. Hongxia also cried.
Hongxia couldn't hold the three watermelons, so Lotus found a bicycle, put the watermelons into a big bag, and then helped carry them to the back rack of the car.
Lotus asked again: By the way, did you bring a knife?
Hongxia replied: No, I only brought a spoon, and the kid likes to dig and eat with a spoon.
"You can't do it without a knife, you have to cut it before you can dig it with a spoon." After Lotus finished speaking, she hurriedly entered the house and brought the knife used to sell watermelons to Hongxia.
Hongxia pushed her bicycle and walked towards the small hill outside Gacha under the "escort" of two loyal dogs, one black and one yellow.

Ma Hongxia walked very heavy, and her heart was even heavier. She couldn't believe what had happened for more than a month. Why is there a partition between the underworld? Is this the unpredictable situation in the sky and the blessing and misfortune of people?
Ma Hongxia saw the dirt bag from a distance, and tears fell. In the blur of tears, it was as if she saw Asgen running towards her from the hillside......
"Auntie—Auntie—"
"Asgen-As-"
The illusion in front of me was gone. Hongxia bit her lip and quickly wiped away her tears.
Hongxia stopped crying, and calmly put all the two petals of the watermelon, a total of six petals, in front of Asgen's grave. Some of the gnats on the grave were shriveled, some had been blown away by the wind, no—they must have been taken by Asgen to catch them.
After putting the watermelon away, Hongxia took out a small iron spoon from her pocket, which Asgen had used since she was a child when she ate at her house. I wiped it with a paper towel and stuck it in the middle of the watermelon.
Hongxia sat down and began to "chat" with her nephew:
Asgen, Auntie has come to see you. Your favorite "Hari" and "West Ri" are here. Auntie also brought your favorite watermelon, as well as your Aunt Lotus, she was very worried about you, and picked the biggest and sweetest watermelon for you. Baby's nephew, eat slowly, don't worry, there is a watermelon...... You said you, why were you in such a hurry that day, if you wait—don't talk about it. Eat it, the watermelon is sweet now. Asgen, your mother is very—bitter, don't blame her, don't blame her. If you can really hold on to your dreams, you can tell her that you are doing well, don't let her worry about you, and don't let your mother practice and torture herself. If there is really an afterlife, we are still a family, and my aunt will provide you with watermelon for a lifetime......

On the passenger shuttle bus to the red property market, Bai Chaolu looked out the window, and Gao Wa held a big cloth bag and stared blankly ahead. Occasionally, there is a strong bump, and the two will subconsciously help each other. They were going to the hospital to visit their daughter-in-law, Matoya.
The night before she came, Gao Wa carefully prepared the nutritional products for her daughter-in-law, in addition to dairy products, as well as pure honey that her nephew specially got from the beekeeper, which she was usually reluctant to drink. In fact, honey is not a rare thing, but pure honey without any "impurities" is indeed quite rare.
Bai Chaolu said: Don't take so much, Toya has just recovered and can't eat much. Besides, what you have taken - especially this honey, the doctor will let you eat it or not.
"You don't care. It's all good stuff, what's not to eat? Can I still poison my daughter-in-law? "Gao Wa has her own set of theories, as long as it is nutritious and good, it will be beneficial for patients to eat it.
Bai Chaolu smiled and said: You are always willing to think of others on the bad side. The doctor does not allow you to eat things, for fear that some will cause allergies or something, and some may not be compatible with the medicine you are taking, causing side effects. Why don't you understand?
"You understand? If you had understood the 'broken stone', you wouldn't have let the Aginai family move to Sarentai for the first few years—"
"Gotta get it, you're here again. Okay, okay, I didn't say it. Bai Chaolu knew that Gao Wa rarely jokingly called him "breaking stones" like others, as long as she called him so, there would definitely be a lot of lessons below. Bai Chaolu was a little scared, so he had to accept it when he saw it.
"Anyway, I'm going to take it, and as for whether the doctor lets me eat it or not, I'll talk about it then."
Gao Wa was busy until the middle of the night, loaded it out, took it out and put it back on, and tossed Bai Chaolu annoyed. But he didn't dare to talk to her, for fear of "setting himself on fire", so he went to sleep first.

The herders are getting busy, pulling grass to the pastures. After the beginning of autumn in the twenty-four solar terms, you can thrive grass. In the past, they used to use a big samarium knife with a long handle, and the young man with a big waist and a round waist would have sore arms and stinky sweat after a while. Now, with the mechanized grass mower, as soon as you put the gas pedal, the grass will be brushed and brushed to "lie down". After a period of natural drying, the water is air-dried, and the machine can be packed and transported back to the pasture for storage. When the snow and wind are too strong to graze in winter, it is used as an emergency "ration" for the sheep.
The grass of the Bai Chaolu family was handed over to the eldest son to deal with, and he didn't worry about it himself. The grass on the Aginai pasture was not harvested this year, because the sheep had already been sold, and there was no need to prepare forage for the winter. Of course, you can sell the grass for some money, but you don't have the time. So, Aginai called Hohelu and said: If you want it, just call it yourself, you're welcome......
The car drove further on, and it entered the agricultural area. During the harvest season, truckloads of corn cobs were pulled into the yard and spread out in a yellow and clear patch, as if the earth was flowing gold.
Yes, the autumn of the red property market is the most abundant and fruitful. The cool autumn is a fruitful season, allowing the hard-working farmers to taste the joy of the harvest, and the beautiful scenery is even more mesmerizing. Yellow corn, red-faced sorghum, golden rice fields...... The contrast with the clear blue sky is particularly dazzling. When a gust of wind blows, the fields turn into a sea of five colors in an instant.
