"This is a seedless watermelon, that's it. I didn't expect that I could eat seedless watermelon so soon." Mu Xiaocao had seen it, so he picked up a piece of watermelon without hesitation and said while eating: "Well, it's delicious, everyone should eat it."
"Xiu, where did you get the watermelon seeds?" Mu Xiu was stunned. Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaocao asked this question while eating the watermelon.
"The seeds given to me by Grandpa Lu are called seedless watermelons. They are very delicious when planted, so I'll try it." Mu Xiu pulled Lu Niandong out as a shield.
"But, sister, do you know so much about seedless watermelon?" Mu Xiu's light words made Mu Xiaocao start to annoy why he was so talkative.
"I heard from others, too." After Mu Xiaocao answered randomly, he buried his head and started to eat watermelon.
Mu Xiu smiled and didn't ask again. A watermelon, about six kilograms, was quickly eaten by four people. Compared to cutting it into pieces, Mu Xiu prefers to cut the watermelon in half and dig it up with a spoon.
"This watermelon is so delicious, there is no need to worry about spitting seeds." Chen Xuhui wiped his mouth and said with a little unfulfilled feeling.
"Look at the handle of the melon, the green ripe melon, the dark brown one is not yet ripe. There is also a sound. When I hear the sound of "bang bang", it is ripe melon, the "dang dang" sound is not yet ripe, and the "pup puff" sound is too ripe. Pick it down and put it aside, and I can't eat it anymore." Mu Xiu patiently explained and demonstrated it, and everyone soon started picking watermelon.
Six thousand watermelons were planted in one acre of land. According to eight kilograms of one watermelon, the yield per mu was 4,800 kilograms of watermelon. Mu Xiu's family planted two acres of watermelon, which is 9,600 kilograms of watermelon. Even if there were ripe, the 8,600 kilograms of watermelon was quite considerable according to one thousand kilograms.
We worked hard for half a month before we packed the watermelons. Now in the village, only Mu Xiu's home is watermelons. Many of the villagers come to buy watermelons. Mu Xiu sold it to the villagers at a pound of one cent, and even sold 4,000 pounds.
Mu Xiu gave Chen Xiangyang two watermelons for the remaining 4,600 kilograms of watermelons, and left more than a dozen watermelons in their own home. They entered the county town in four times and sold them all at a price of one kilogram and two cents. Just the watermelon, the gross profit was 1,200 yuan.
Mu Xiu took out four hundred and gave Zhou Shuilian the household use, and gave Chen Xuhui another two hundred yuan. She would keep the remaining money.
Next, when the corn, soybeans, peanuts and sweet potatoes were ripe, Mu Xiu and others plowed the sesame and watermelon fields, put fertilizers on them, and then started to plant wheat.
Now, when the villagers mentioned Mu Xiu's family, they all envied them. At that time, the whole family was just a little bit. In short, only his family and Chen Xuhui had the worst life in the whole village. Unexpectedly, in less than a year, these two families actually lived in the village.
Especially Chen Xuhui, everyone would say that he had a good fortune when he mentioned it. Somehow he climbed into Mushui's house. It was a great fortune. Now, seeing him following Mushui not only lived in a good house, but also collected a lot of food.
The ragged clothes on his body were gone, and they were replaced by brand new and good clothes, not to mention his face, which used to be black and scarred, but now if you didn't look closely, you can't see them.
In addition, what I eat now is good and the nutrition is followed. Chen Xuhui not only has a lot of head-on appearance, but also looks even taller and taller, and looks a bit handsome, which is completely different from before.
If it weren't for the villagers watching Chen Xuhui change step by step, everyone might have thought that someone else had changed.
Chen Xuhui also noticed the changes on his face. Mu Xiu used several tubes to wipe his face. He was extremely ecstatic as he watched his scars slowly fade away.
Who doesn’t care about his appearance? Chen Xuhui never thought that one day he would become so cicada, so Chen Xuhui was even more grateful to Mu Xiu.
"Sleep and sleep. I'm too lazy to be like a pig all day long. I have to do everything at home. Get up quickly." After feeding the chickens, Zhao Junlan came back and saw Chen Xifu lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. Thinking of Chen Xuhui's life recently rumored in the village, she couldn't help but feel angry.
"What's wrong? It's early in the morning and you won't let me sleep!" Chen Xifu was woken up in his sleep. After shouting irritably, he turned his head in and continued to fall asleep.
"You can still sleep in. Others eat delicious food and drink spicy food, and they are dressed neatly. What kind of life do I live with you? You can still sleep?" Zhao Junlan shouted at Chen Xifu angrily.
"Others and others! If I hadn't listened to you and kicked the boss out, I would have benefited from it now." Chen Xifu lifted the thin sheet covering his body, and looked at Zhao Junlan with resentment on his face.
Chen Xifu has been ridiculed many times outside because of Chen Xuhui's affairs, and he began to blame Zhao Junlan in his heart. If it weren't for her, how could he have driven Chen Xuhui out of the door!
"Don't be funny. If he had been in this family, could he have been with Mushui? Can he live his life now? You still benefited from him? He would have been eaten up by this little bastard. Besides, it was not for the safety of our son!" Zhao Junlan retorted.
"Who is funny? Don't think I don't know who made the fire at home." Chen Xifu said even more angrily.
"You...what do you mean?" Zhao Junlan hesitated.
"What do I mean? Chen Huan told me!" Chen Xifu looked at Zhao Junlan with his eyes squinted.
"You believe what he is talking nonsense! Chen Qing was so young at that time, how could he set fire?" Zhao Junlan's eyes became a little vague.
"I haven't even said Chen Qing yet, do you know it's him?" Chen Xifu grabbed Zhao Junlan's words, and then asked back and continued: "Not only do I know that the fire in my house was set by Chen Qing, but the house in Xuhui was also set by Chen Qing!"
"You! OK, don't pretend to be like you are a good person now. Since you have known it for a long time, you don't say anything, and you are afraid that the little bastard will spend food after he comes back. Now you don't have the face to say to me, "Bah, shameless, you have to set up a archway after being a son." Zhao Junlan saw that Chen Xifu already knew, so she simply stopped pretending and directly put her hands on her waist and started to curse.
"You! You have taught my son badly!" Chen Xifu heard Zhao Junlan scold him and slapped Zhao Junlan in the face.
"You dare to hit me! I'll fight you!" Zhao Junlan was slapped in the face. She was so angry that she was heartbroken that she screamed and rushed towards Chen Xifu.
