The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 31 Someone is going to steal melons
"Isn't this still young?" Father Shen carefully persuaded him beside him.Uncle Shen is an old man, and it hurts to beat my mother.Brother Qian.With my sister-in-law, I also take care of them, and rarely do heavy work.

"Father, did Aunt Wang's family ask my younger brother to send me a watermelon?" My younger brother is going to marry Aunt Wang's niece, and the two families are considered relatives, let alone in the same village.

"Well, go to the field to pick in the afternoon, and ask the third son to send a few larger watermelons. As for Ms. Zhao, the third son will send the watermelon to you, and Aunt Wang will send it to you." Father Shen explained the matter. Tell Uncle Shen.

"Hey dad, I got it. I'll send it over with my third brother in the afternoon." Uncle Shen was worried that his third brother's temperament would not be able to handle this matter.

Everyone started working in the late afternoon, and shopkeeper Bai brought two more cars, and there will be more cars from other towns to pull watermelons in the next few days.The watermelons pulled in the morning have already been transported to Fengyang City. Shen Xuan reminded shopkeeper Bai that the watermelons can be stored for up to 8 days. It is recommended to add ice on the road, which can be stored for about 15 days.

At night, the whole family was tired and fell asleep. Shen Xuan came out of the space and was about to go to bed when she heard a few movements from the west chamber.Shen Xuan got up, put on her clothes and opened the door to go out. Just outside the door, she heard Lei Kui and Bai Ming talking softly.

"Who?" Shen Xuan was about to knock on the door, but Lei Kui had already opened the door from the inside.

By the moonlight, the two could clearly see that it was Shen Xuan, "Miss, why are you still awake?" Lei Kui's voice became louder at night.

"I was just about to go to bed. I heard voices from your uncle, and thought there were mice!" Bai Ming spent the past two days with Shen Xuan, always thinking that Shen Xuan was playing tricks on him from time to time, but he was sincere to Lei Kui. Treat each other.This does not mean that Shen Xuan is insinuating that he is a mouse and does not sleep in the middle of the night.

"Miss, I just came back from outside. I passed by a door and heard someone discussing stealing watermelons from the field at night. I am discussing with Brother Bai what to do?" Lei Kui's mind became much clearer when something happened.

"If you don't sleep at night, why is Uncle Lei going out?"

"Miss, I, I..." The real man started to hesitate when he mentioned going outside, which completely aroused Shen Xuan's curiosity.Looking at Shen Xuan with wide-open eyes and shining light, Lei Kui blushed, but Bai Ming couldn't stand it anymore and went back for him.

"Brother Lei went to take a bath in the river."

"Take a bath, just take a shower, there is nothing to say about it." Shen Xuan whispered softly, and even Bai Ming felt uncomfortable when he heard Lei Kui being more coy.Evil ancient times, Shen Xuan, are you worth it? The subordinates can't say something to the master.You must always be a good example and follow your duty.

"Does uncle know who it is?" Shen Xuan saw the two adults awkwardly changing the subject in front of her.

"I heard a woman say: The child's grandma is next door to her house. I went to the house to search for watermelons. Let's pick them tonight and sell them in the town." Lei Kui's loud schoolgirl spoke nondescriptly.

By describing Shen Xuan already know who it is, Li Shi is really a dog who can't change and eat shit.During the entire dynasty, their Shen family grew watermelons, and they secretly picked and sold them in the town without fear of being found out by others, what an idiot.

"Uncle, is there any good way?" Shen Xuan really didn't think that someone would steal the watermelon.

"Or, I'll teach that family a lesson." Lei Kui shook his fist.

"No." Bai Ming resolutely rejected Lei Kui's suggestion.

"Why not?" Lei Kui didn't think he could teach a few farmers a lesson.

"As the saying goes, there is a thousand days to be a thief but not a thousand days to guard against a thief. After you teach this family, you can guarantee that no one will steal in the future?" Bai Ming waved his fan and asked calmly. He did not keep accounts for nothing this day. I know how much money I can earn, and money touches people's hearts.Shen Xuan took a look at Bai Ming: she was wearing a coarse cloth that didn't fit her temperament, and the crescent white clothes were dirty and were being dried in the yard after washing at night.

"Then what should we do?" Lei Kui asked anxiously.Lei Kui insisted on a principle: the third young master sent himself to the Shen family, and the contract of prostitution was in the Shen family, so he would recognize the Shen family as the master.The master is being missed by others, and the slave should find a solution for the master.

"Miss, what do you think we should do?" Bai Ming squinted his eyes and asked Shen Xuan with a smile. He didn't think there was any question for him to ask the 5-year-old child.Hey, the main reason is that Shen Xuan's precocity is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, people who have only been together for two days can ignore their age.

"Let's work hard for Uncle Lei to go to the field to help watch over the past few nights, and you can catch up at home during the day." Shen Xuan was really sleepy and didn't plan to continue inkblotting.

"Don't you need to arrest people?" Bai Ming disagreed with this method. How can we eliminate the crisis of watermelon being stolen if we don't arrest people and only take precautions.

"There are so many people in the village, who knows who wants to steal melons. Let's take a look after talking to Dad tomorrow." Shen Xuan walked away with a smile.After all, Mrs. Li is the daughter-in-law of Grandma Song San. If her family catches her, it will make the old man lose face and affect the relationship between the two families, even though Mrs. Li and the old man have severed ties.Let's leave these matters to my father.

The next morning, after Shen Xuan told Father Shen about it, she didn't care about it, and went to remember the structure of the modern oven by herself, and planned to discuss with her family to open a shop to sell bread after the busy days.I just heard someone say in the morning: The couple of the Li family in the village came back from the outside in the morning, with several pieces of skin on their bodies, and some of them were bleeding. They all guessed whether they were beaten by others or became thieves, so I had to make this guess people really want to.Shen Xuan also smiled when she heard the words, this is probably Lei Kui's trick, since she can't learn a lesson, she can always do it.

Shen Xuan's family was very busy for 5 days before picking the watermelon this time. After loading the last car this afternoon, Shen's family cooked two tables of good meals for everyone. Good wine, good food and good meat are enough. After eating Everyone gets another watermelon. 400 Wen, everyone didn't expect that they could get money after eating well these days, and they were happy with a few Chinese characters.In the evening, everyone sat together to settle the accounts. Thanks to Lei Kui and Bai Ming, they were arranged to go to rest for the past few days. A total of 7 catties of taels were harvested from 3510 mu of land. After deducting the expenses of the past few days and the consumption of farming, the net profit was 680 taels.Shen Xuan had expected to be so calm; Brother Qiu's first reaction was that his family might be richer than the wealthy households in the town; Mrs. Zhou just gently rubbed her stomach with her hands and smiled; Father Shen was the one who reacted the most , Holding the silver in his hand, he lay down on the table and cried, so shocked that everyone didn't know what to do.

"Master, why are you crying? The children are watching."

Father Shen raised his head and saw the two children looking at him, which made him feel embarrassed, and wiped his tears with his sleeve, "I'm so happy, I didn't expect our family to make so much money." Hehe laughed a few times, Mrs. Zhou is the one who understands Father Shen's mood best.

"That's right, I don't even look at who asked you to grow it." Shen Xuan was arrogant.
