Chapter 530
This time Liu Yumei came to bring a watermelon.
"Oh, in-laws, I'll bring you something rare to eat." Liu Yumei pulled the door curtain open with her hands and walked straight in.
Because it was summer and Mu Hongqiao was pregnant, women always felt hot when they were pregnant, so the door of the house was always open, and the wind and electric fans combined together made the room very cool.
He Shuanglan looked at Liu Yumei and saw that she was holding a watermelon, and she was immediately furious.
"I said Yumei, are you shivering me? Our Li family is not so poor that it is a rare thing to eat watermelon that costs a few cents a pound!"
"Mom, what are you doing?" Mu Hongqiao also complained to Liu Yumei, thinking that she is really too confused to speak.
"This watermelon is different from other watermelons! You must have never eaten it. Where is the knife? Cut it open and show it to you." Liu Yumei was not annoyed when she saw the two of them saying this. She still put the watermelon on the table with a smile on her face, and then looked around to see where the fruit knife was.
"What a joke. I haven't eaten any watermelons before, and I don't even make drafts." He Shuanglan said with a sneer.
At this time, Liu Yumei saw the fruit knife, and she stopped explaining. She picked up the fruit knife and started cutting the watermelon. The watermelon was already ripe. Put the knife on and gently everything, and the watermelon immediately cracked in half.
He Shuanglan looked at Xigua impatiently and immediately couldn't move her eyes away.
I saw the cut watermelon, the flesh of the melon was brightly red and radiant with an attractive water light. What was most surprising was that there were no seeds inside.
"Come and try the taste." Liu Yumei cut the melon into small pieces and handed it to Mu Hongqiao first. Mu Hongqiao took it and handed it to He Shuanglan...
He Shuanglan took it without hesitation and took a big bite. Because she ate it too fast and too fast, the red watermelon juice flowed out along the corner of her mouth. Compared to Mu Hongqiao, she was a little gentle. She bit her little bite and her eyes lit up immediately. Then she finished a piece of watermelon in bites and bites.
"How is it, it tastes good." Liu Yumei said with some concern, with a look on her face that she wanted to get praise from two people.
"It's delicious, mom, this watermelon is so sweet. You don't need to spit out seeds, so where did you buy it?" Mu Hongqiao said as she picked up another piece of watermelon.
"What's so strange about this watermelon? I've eaten it before. It's really unaware of it in the village, so howl." He Shuanglan raised her head and said with a sense of superiority, and picked up a piece of watermelon to continue eating.
Liu Yumei and Mu Hongqiao immediately looked bad, and both of them cursed He Shuanglan in their hearts to look down on others...
"Hey, stop cutting, keep this half for Guo Wen to come back to eat." He Shuanglan saw Liu Yumei raise the fruit knife to cut the remaining half, and quickly stopped him.
Mu Hongqiao looked at the watermelon reluctantly and swallowed hard. She only ate two pieces, and the rest was eaten by He Shuanglan. She hadn't had enough food yet. At this moment, Mu Hongqiao felt like a cat was scratched. She wanted to eat it very much...
Liu Yumei also saw that Mu Hongqiao still wanted to eat. Not only did she look at He Shuanglan and curl her lips, she looked arrogant all day long, but she saw something delicious, just like a starving ghost. Bah, she had eaten it before, and she was just bragging.
Fortunately, Li Guowen suddenly came back at this time.
"Guowen, why are you back?" He Shuanglan asked in confusion when she saw her son.
"The work clothes are broken, come back and change them." Li Guowen said as he raised his arm, and saw a long cut on his sleeve.
"Change the item quickly, I'll make up for this item for you, you didn't hurt you, right?" He Shuanglan stepped forward and pulled Li Guowen's arm and looked at it.
"No, hey, you bought seedless watermelon to eat." Li Guowen was about to enter the inner room to change his clothes when he suddenly saw half of the watermelon placed on the table.
He Shuanglan was delighted when she heard Li Guowen shouting the name of the watermelon. She said, "Her son is knowledgeable and must have eaten it." Liu Yumei's eyes were a little embarrassed. It turned out that He Shuanglan did not brag, and they recognized this seedless watermelon.
Mu Hongqiao felt a little excited. When did Li Guowen eat this watermelon? She remembered that two years ago, Li Guowen thought it was troublesome to spit out seeds when he ate watermelon. At that time, he joked that it would be great if there were no seeds... If he had eaten this watermelon recently, why did he eat it yourself instead of bringing it back for her to try it? She is a pregnant woman and is pregnant, why didn’t he think about himself more?
However, Mu Hongqiao wronged Li Guowen this time. Li Guowen happened to go to a worker's house to take a customer last year. He bought this kind of melon. He didn't have the nerve to ask where he bought it. He felt that he seemed to be too unaware of it when asked. The worker's house didn't mention it. He didn't even mention it in the leader. He introduced this kind of melon again, as if the leader had no knowledge...
So everyone tacitly finished eating the melon and never mentioned the melon again...
Li Guowen later asked in the county town, but he didn't find out. Some people thought he was a lunatic and had a whimsical idea. How could watermelons have no seeds? But some people told him that this kind of melon was sold by a little girl, and it is said to be called seedless watermelons...
Li Guowen then secretly wrote down the name of the melon, but he waited until even Qiu Watermelon was off the market, and he never saw this watermelon again...
Unexpectedly, Li Guowen almost forgot about this kind of watermelon, but after taking the watermelon, he came to the door. He really searched everywhere and found it without any effort.
"Hongqiao's mother brought it, this is for you. You can eat it first, and then go after eating it. Mom will bring you a spoon." He Shuanglan said as she stood up and went to the wooden cabinet where the dishes were placed, and took out a small iron spoon.
Li Guowen took the small iron spoon and first dug it to the heart of the melon. The piece was the sweetest. The melon was in his mouth and it was really as sweet as he imagined. Li Guowen couldn't help but squint his eyes in satisfaction.
Mu Hongqiao swallowed a saliva.
"Where did you buy this seedless watermelon?" Li Guowen asked Liu Yumei while eating.
"I bought it in the village." Liu Yumei told the truth.
"????????" Li Guowen raised his head, looking surprised. When did Yingwu Village have such melons? Why has he never eaten them before?
"Ah? from our village?" Mu Hongqiao exclaimed.
"Yes, this is grown by Hongqiao's second uncle's family. It's a new variety from the provincial capital. I originally brought it to you to try something fresh. I didn't expect that the people in the city are knowledgeable. You all recognize it. It seems that only we rural guys regard this as a rare thing."
He Shuanglan and Li Guowen blushed when Liu Yumei said that. They didn't know much about this seedless watermelon...
