Chapter 89 Watermelon
After dinner, Su Mo began to clear the table. As for the three children, they were also sent to the yard for a walk to digest food.

Wait for her to wash the dishes and clean up the kitchen.

Gu Ping'an and Gu Jinnian had already taken clean clothes one after the other, went to the bathroom to take a shower and clothes, and went back to their own room to sleep.

Gu Xingnian was standing at the door of the kitchen waiting. Su Mo carried her to the bathroom, gave her a good bath, and after coaxing her to sleep, rubbed her sore waist.

This day is really tiring.

He raised his hand and sniffed his clothes, there was a smell of sweat.

She yawned and picked up her clothes to wash up.

I can't see it on the first day of junior high school, but there is a line on the second day of junior high school.

There is no moon tonight, only stars in the sky.

Su Mo took a shower, washed her clothes and hung them up to dry. She was already so sleepy that she fell asleep when she went back to the house.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Pingan and Gu Jinnian went to catch bugs after running and used them to feed Gu Xingnian's chickens.

Su Mo started to build a shed and was busy all day long.

She also refurbished the shed where the chickens were kept, surrounded it with a fence, and sprinkled a layer of plant ash on the ground.

Chickens and ducks are getting bigger and can no longer be kept in the vegetable field like before, but they can't always be kept in cages.

This shed is different. It is free-range, and the fence is woven high, so there is no need to worry about the chickens flying out. The food boxes are hung on the fence, which is also convenient for feeding.

As for the vegetable leaves, you can just throw them in, and you don't need to take the cage away, it's for chickens and ducks to lay eggs.

After a few days, chicken droppings and duck droppings have accumulated a lot, and they can be shoveled out, and then used as top dressing for the corn planted in the field.

The growth cycle of corn is generally about three months, and it is planted at the end of June, which will be in the flowering period.

The growth cycle of watermelons is three to four months, and they are now mature, oval in shape and large in size, weighing more than ten catties at least.

Many people in the village were amazed when they saw it.

The village chief was also a little tempted. If everyone in the village grows such a good watermelon next year, they will definitely be able to buy a lot of money.

He didn't know that the watermelon couldn't reproduce, so he came to the door and asked Su Mo if he could sell him some watermelon seeds.

This matter must not be promised, otherwise it will not be planted by then, and it will only harm others and oneself.

She thought for a while and said to the village chief: "To tell you the truth, I bought these watermelon seeds from a traveling merchant, and the traveling merchant told me when I bought it here.

The seeds were soaked in their secret potion, and the resulting melons were bigger and sweeter than usual. The price was that the seeds in the watermelon could no longer grow watermelons. "

Traveling merchants are people who travel far and wide, and it's normal to have some strange things in their hands, but the village chief is a little bit unwilling.

People in the village have always made a living by going out to sea to fish, but now they find that there is another way to survive, and they are unwilling not to try it.

"It's okay, you sell me some, I'll take it back and try, if it really doesn't grow sprouts, let's talk about it."

Seeing that he persisted, Su Mo couldn't say anything more.

"That's right, just wait a moment."

Su Mo said, and went into the bedroom. The picked melons were placed under the bed, in a cool place, not easy to spoil.

She picked out a better-looking one, carried it back to the living room, and said with a smile: "We eat melons and don't leave melon seeds, so you can just take a melon back."

The village head will immediately pay out.

Su Mo hurriedly stopped and said, "No, no, thanks to your care on weekdays, I gave you this melon."

"How can this be done, what should be given must be given."

Su Mo didn't want to hang out with the village chief, so if she had the time, she might as well weave two baskets to hold watermelons and sell them in the county.

"Why can't it work? If you insist on giving money, then I'll take this melon back, and don't worry about melon seeds."

After hearing this, the village head had no choice but to leave with the melon in his arms.

The sky was gloomy, with dark clouds piling up with the wind.

Su Mo went up the mountain to cut bamboo, cut some grass, tied it with a rope and threw it on the bamboo, and carried it all the way home.

As soon as the front foot threw the grass into the sheepfold, the bean-heavy rain poured down.

Su Mo hurriedly ran to the courtyard, not forgetting to put away her clothes before entering the house.

The cold wind mixed with the smell of earth swept in, Su Mo closed the window, and then began to chop bamboo strips and weave baskets in the living room.

The rain was so fierce that it took two full days to stop, and the original heat was washed away, especially in the morning and evening, when it was full of coolness.

Su Mo picked up the pole and basket and went to the field to pick watermelons.

Gu Xingnian yelled to help, but Su Mo thought she was walking slowly, so she put her into the basket on the side.

With one side heavy and the other light, Su Mo tightly grasped the hemp rope on the basket, balanced both sides, and strode towards the watermelon field.

Gu Xingnian especially likes to eat big and sweet watermelon, and it will be alive and kicking in the melon field.

"Mom, there's a big melon here!"

"Mom, this melon is so big!"

"Niang Niang Niang, come on, come on, this melon is even bigger!"

"..."

Su Mo rubbed her brows, suddenly regretted bringing Gu Xingnian here.

The two baskets were filled quickly, Su Mo picked up the pole, hunched over, and walked home with small steps.

Gu Xingnian hadn't escaped from the joy of the melon fields full of big melons, so he would bounce ahead of Su Mo.

When they got home, they put the melons in the house, and Su Mo picked up the basket again and set off.

Gu Xingnian still wanted to go, but Su Mo didn't say anything, just cut a watermelon and put it in the living room.

The bright red flesh immediately attracted Gu Xingnian's attention, and the alluring sweetness made her unable to move her feet.

Gu Xingnian resolutely gave up and went to the melon field, and took a piece of watermelon and ate it, his face was covered with juice.

After eating one slice, she thought of her two elder brothers, kicked her calves into the study, and smiled guiltily.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Mother cut up a watermelon and put it in the living room, you go and eat it."

Gu Pingan didn't think too much, when he heard that there was watermelon to eat, his eyes lit up, he stood up and went to the living room.

Gu Jinnian glanced at the dried watermelon juice on her face, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Gu Xingnian smirked twice: "Second brother, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Gu Jinnian got off the chair and went to the living room.

There were a lot of ripe melons in the field, and Su Mo went back and forth several times before picking only some unseasoned melons.

Mrs. Li was weeding in the field, and when she saw Su Mo picking melons, she rolled her eyes, stood up, patted the dust, and went home.

Her mother-in-law was also in the field, and when she saw it, she hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?"

"I saw that the Gu family was picking watermelons, and I thought about going back to discuss with He Yun, whether I should buy her watermelons and sell them in Huzhou."

Li's mother-in-law didn't understand these things, she only knew that her son had earned money a few days ago, and now she would hear about buying and selling, so she hurriedly said: "Then you go, I'll get it here."

Mrs. Li smiled and said "Hey", and rushed home in a hurry.

Chen Heyun's mind is also good, after listening to Mrs. Li's words, he immediately said: "This is feasible, this season's watermelon is also considered a rare item, and when it is taken to Huzhou Prefecture, it will definitely sell for a high price."

It just so happens that their apricot cream has been sold out, and they are thinking about what business to do.

"Then I'll go over to Gu's family to find out what's going on.

You should also take stock of how much money you have at home, if it is not enough by then, let's go find our younger siblings and see if she is willing to do the same as last time. "

 It’s too difficult. Others have a holiday on National Day, but I went to the countryside to help my husband and grandmother dry and harvest rice (╥╯^╰╥)
  I heard from my mother-in-law that more than ten acres of land have been planted.

  The estimated [-] bags that have already been collected will only be more or less, so I have to help tomorrow.

  These days, I will update [-] words first, and I will make up when I am done ([-] words a day.)
  Everyone, Baoer, vote for monthly and recommendation tickets, thank you, thank you~
