Chapter 96 95 Watermelon Field

Wang Yuan hadn't seen Li Ping for a while, and after taking a closer look, he found that this girl was getting more and more beautiful.

The sunset covered the western sky, wisps of cooking smoke curled up, and finally mixed with the clouds.

Li Yan poked her head out from the room: "You're back? Just wash your hands and eat."

"Well, I can smell the aroma of dumplings." Wang Yuan walked into the room with a smile, and saw the big watermelon at Weng Gener's place at a glance.

Six or seven big watermelons with flowery skins looked very pleasing, and he asked curiously while washing his hands, "Where did you get the big watermelons?"

Li Ping raised her chest proudly: "I brought it here!"

"My mother-in-law's family didn't grow watermelons, where did you get them? Stolen?"

"You don't want to bury people. We have melons grown by a family in Tunzi. In the end, some people don't want them. Anyone can pick them. My mother thought that you didn't have any watermelons, so she asked me to send them."

"Rayang melon?"

"That's right, but some watermelons are really big... Ah, why is this little dog licking my hand? No, I'm going to crush your dog's head." Li Ping is really energetic. With great strength, I went directly to chase the dog.

"Wang Wang Wang ~"

The three earth dogs jumped up and down, happily fighting with Li Ping.

Wang Yuan went into the house and put on the kang table, and Li Yan also lifted the lid of the pot in the outer room. She put the dumplings like boats on the aluminum grate, and then put the grate on top of the basin.

Spoon a ladle of cold water over the dumplings, then shake the dumplings with the edge of the grate so that the dumpling skins don't stick together.

"Let's eat, Xiaoping, where's the mashed garlic you smashed?"

"It's on the pot table, on the right, do you see it?"

"I see, don't tease the dog, wash your hands and eat quickly." Li Yan was really helpless towards her sister.

The big girl Li Ping ran into the room, panting and laughing, "The three puppies are running so fast that I can't catch them at all, it's annoying!"

In addition to a grate of dumplings, Li Yan put the rest of the dumplings into a bowl.

Wang Yuan turned on the light and sat cross-legged on the kang, poured vinegar and garlic into small bowls and mixed them well, then put meat dumplings in them to dip them in, and stuffed them directly into his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Li Yan sat opposite Wang Yuan, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Chives and pork stuffing? Delicious, very fragrant!"

"It takes a lot of effort to make these dumplings, and the dough is too hard... The three puppies always make trouble for me. They scratch the door when they are shut outside."

Li Yan flicked her hair around her ears, then ate the dumplings.

It was completely dark outside the window, and the three of them sat inside the house eating meat dumplings and chatting about homework and felt super happy.

Wang Yuan felt that there was something wrong, and then he remembered that he hadn't poured wine, and then got down from the kang and poured a small glass of Moutai.

Li Yan couldn't help but said to him: "You still drink while eating meat dumplings, can't you drink less?"

"Dumpling wine, dumpling wine, how can you eat meat and dumplings without drinking, I'll just drink a small cup." Wang Yuan returned to the kang with the wine glass with a playful smile on his face.

Li Yan gave him a coquettish look: "Be virtuous, you're addicted to alcohol."

Wang Yuan said to Li Ping with a smile: "I saw that without your sister taking care of me every day, it means that you are here so your sister saves me face, otherwise your sister would have already pissed me off."

"Hahaha~ nonsense." Li Yan laughed instantly.

Li Ping also smiled, her eyes turned into crescent moons: "My sister is doing it for your own good, it won't hurt to drink less."

During the chat, the watermelon field in Xiaobaitun was mentioned again. Li Yan became very interested in picking watermelons casually, and she begged Wang Yuan to pick more watermelons together later.

Wang Yuan was shocked and said: "Run to Xiaobaitun to pick watermelons at night?? Don't say you don't need money, I won't go if you give me some money. How nice it is to watch TV at home and sleep when you have that time."

"Oh, it's just for fun. If you don't want money, you don't pick it for nothing."

"Riding a bicycle to Xiaobaitun in the dark, and then returning with a bag of watermelons? It's too hard. Our family conditions don't have to suffer that. Watermelons are cheap and easy to buy and eat."

Li Yan stopped talking for a moment, but she was obviously a little unhappy.

The atmosphere was a bit depressing. After eating, Li Yan went to wash the pot, but still didn't talk to him. Wang Yuan lost his temper in an instant.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go to Xiaobaitun to pick watermelons." Wang Yuan put on his shoes and got off the kang.

In an instant, Li Ping burst into laughter, and Li Yan also laughed "puchi": "Didn't you just say no? I won't force you."

Hanging a basket on the back seat of the bicycle, Wang Yuan pulled two more bags of chemical fertilizers to carry, while Li Ping shouted: "Bring more flashlights, it's too dark to see watermelons."

"We only have a flashlight at home."

"It's okay, I'll go to my mother's yard and my second uncle's house to get a flashlight."

Wang Yuan went to get a flashlight, and when he came back, Li Yan and sisters were waiting for him holding on to the handlebars of their bicycles.

The trio set off quickly on three bikes.

Thin clouds are floating, the moon is bright, long shadows pass across the ground, and there are crickets and toads in the surrounding grass.

"This little wind is whizzing, it's really cool."

"Let's pick some and come back...you can be sure that people really don't want watermelons, right? Don't let people be caught as melon thieves again."

"Don't worry, I really don't want it anymore." Li Ping said firmly.

Cycling on the soil at night, and occasionally passing through some graveyards, the two sisters Li Yan were really a little scared, but with Wang Yuan, the old man, and the yang energy, they felt more at ease.

Guided by Li Ping, the three turned around and finally entered a small road. After driving for more than a hundred meters, they finally came to the melon field.

The endless watermelon fields just appeared in front of my eyes, and it looked quite shocking. The cold wind blows the moon, the thin clouds are floating, and the melon leaves are rattling.

"How many acres of watermelons are here? It seems to be far more than ten acres."

"I heard that there are 30 acres of land!"

"That's really a lot."

The three of them parked their bicycles on the side of the road, and then carried the baskets to the field, walking very carefully, and Li Yan almost tripped over the melon seedlings.

"Hey! Here's a little watermelon!"

Li Yan excitedly found a small watermelon about 2 catties in the densely packed melon seedlings, which was quite round.

"Is it ripe?"

"I don't know, I can't tell." Li Yan tapped, then picked the watermelon and handed it to Wang Yuan.

bang~
Holding the watermelon in her right hand, she slapped it with her left hand and split the watermelon open. Li Ping turned on the flashlight, and the cracks were filled with red flesh.

"It's ripe, it's pretty good when it's ripe."

"I'll break it apart and try it all."

Wang Yuan broke the small watermelon into several pieces and shared it with Li Yan and Li Ping. It was quite sweet.

"Let's go, let's go, such a large melon field, I'm sorry for myself if I don't pick up a few more bags of watermelons to go back."

Wang Yuan was full of energy in an instant, and Li Yan and sisters happily followed him to pick up watermelons.
