Chapter 21

"Mom, I'm back." Xia Xiaohong yelled loudly as soon as she entered the main room.

"I'm back." Jiang Meiying didn't go inside today, she was planning to make lunch in the kitchen; when she heard Xia Xiaohong's voice, she came out of the kitchen: "Xia Xia, you're hungry! Mom will make it for you later After lunch, go wash your face and rest!"

"Mum, it's okay, I'm not very hungry." Xia Xiaohong carried her schoolbag back to the house, and changed the sandals on her feet; then she went to the side of the shaker to wash her face.

"By the way!" Jiang Meiying suddenly remembered that Yang Ximei's mother brought half a watermelon to her family in the morning: "Xia Xia, the girl's mother brought half a watermelon to our house early this morning; mother Mom has been using well water to freeze it for you, you wait a while; Mommy will go and cut a piece for you."

Watermelons are not very expensive at this time, that is, [-] cents or [-] cents a catty; but generally speaking, a watermelon is at least seven or eight catties, which costs more than one yuan; many people are reluctant to spend this unreasonable money. Most of the time, I only buy a watermelon when there are guests or relatives.

Xia Xiaohong was really greedy when Jiang Meiying said this; she remembered that the watermelon she ate when she was a child was sandy and sweet, not to mention delicious, not like later... Although you can eat watermelon in winter, you can Jin is not the same as when I was a child.

"Mom, cut two pieces!" Xia Xiaohong knows that her mother always likes to keep good things for herself, such as the watermelon in front of her eyes; When she was young, she thought it was Jiang Meiying who didn't like to eat it; it wasn't until after Jiang Meiying passed away that Xia Xiaohong learned about it from her uncle; it turned out that her mother's favorite food since she was a child was watermelon.

No wonder old people always like to say that a mother has a thousand children in her heart; but a child may not have a mother in her heart. This is human nature!
After Jiang Meiying was startled, she quickly understood what her daughter meant, and her heart was sore and uncomfortable; she said angrily: "You child, what are you doing by cutting two pieces of watermelon? Mom doesn't like to eat these There is an unconcealable touch in the voice, my daughter has really grown up and is sensible; now I know that I feel sorry for myself as a mother!
Xia Xiaohong pouted angrily and said unhappily: "Mother, you are a liar. My uncle told me last time when he came to our house; your favorite fruit, mother, is watermelon."

Jiang Meiying's natal family is Pingyang Village, which is separated by a river from Hewanli Village. Jiang Meiying is the youngest child in the family; above her are two older brothers and one older sister. It is said that Xia Xiaohong's grandmother once gave birth to eight children; but unfortunately What's more... four of them died, which is the main reason why there is such a big age gap between Jiang Meiying and her elder brother Jiang Jianhua.

The eldest uncle Jiang Jianhua is older than Jiang Meiying. To Jiang Jianhua, Jiang Meiying is more like a daughter than a younger sister; after Xia Xiaohong's grandmother gave birth to Jiang Jianhua, she gave birth to another daughter, Jiang Meihong; They didn't support her until the birth of Xia Xiaohong's little uncle Jiang Jianjun; Jiang Meiying was born two years after Jiang Jianjun was born.

Until Xia Xiaohong grew up, she still didn't fully understand; how could almost all women in that era be so fertile?She estimated...if her grandpa hadn't passed away within two years of her mother's birth, she might not know how many uncles and aunts she would have.

When Jiang Jianhua was looking for a partner for Jiang Meiying, he picked and picked again and again; Jiang Jianhua, who loves Jiang Meiying, thought that he had chosen a good man for his sister, but who knew—knowing people, knowing faces, but not knowing the heart!
When the news of Jiang Meiying and Xia Tiecheng's divorce spread, Jiang Jianhua was even more excited than Jiang Meiying; he kept blaming himself for killing his little sister.

Jiang Meiying glared at Xia Xiaohong: "Silly boy, that's your uncle teasing you to play nonsense."

"Mom, if you don't eat it, then I won't eat it either." Xia Xiaohong's stubborn temper also came up, and she said stiffly with her neck stuck.

"You girl, really..." Xia Xiaohong came out of her stomach, and Jiang Meiying didn't know what kind of temper her daughter had; at that moment she sighed helplessly: "Oh... that's fine, Isn't it okay for Muma to eat? Why is your child so stubborn when talking to his own mother?"

Xia Xiaohong made a grimace at Jiang Meiying and laughed, when Jiang Meiying came out from the kitchen with two pieces of watermelon, one big and one small; When I tasted it, I was full of praise while eating: "Mmm... this watermelon is really sweet."

In this hot summer, eating such a piece of watermelon with green skin, red flesh and ice-cold watermelon; darling... this is really a super enjoyment!
Xia Xiaohong glanced at Jiang Meiying who was holding the watermelon in a daze, and said vaguely: "Mom, this watermelon is sandy and sweet, why don't you hurry up and eat it?"

"Eat...Mum, let's eat now." Jiang Meiying looked at her daughter who was becoming more and more sensible, and couldn't help but turn red eyes: "Well... this watermelon is really sweet." The watermelon hadn't been eaten yet, and Jiang Meiying ate it. I already feel like eating honey in my heart-sweet.

Xia Xiaohong felt that the watermelon at this time was really delicious, but there seemed to be a little more watermelon seeds; watermelon seeds... Xia Xiaohong looked at the black watermelon seeds she spit out on the ground, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind: "The space is not empty. Can I collect these watermelon seeds and bring them into the space to try to grow them, if it works...I can also get some other plants and fruits to grow in.”

Now that she thought of it, she had to do it, Xia Xiaohong quickly took a 'fine dustpan' from the wall of her house and put it in front of Jiang Meiying: "Mother, when you eat watermelon, the watermelon seeds spit out into the 'fine dustpan' 'in."

Jiang Meiying didn't quite understand and asked: "Xia Xia, what do you want these watermelon seeds for? Watermelon seeds don't have any melon seeds, so they're not tasty."

"Mom, this one! I was wondering if we can plant these watermelon seeds in our vegetable field after drying, so that our family will have watermelons to eat in the future." Xia Xiaohong's eyes turned and she thought of something that was a bit crappy. excuse said.

"Your child is full of weird ideas." Jiang Meiying gave Xia Xiaohong a reproachful look, and even though she said so, she still spit out the watermelon seeds she ate into the 'fine dustpan'.

"By the way, Xia Xia, how did you do in the exam today? Are you sure?" Jiang Meiying suddenly remembered that today was her daughter's middle school exam, and she almost forgot about it.

"Mommy, don't worry! I will definitely pass the exam, so you just have to worry about 120 points." Although the exam results haven't come out yet, Xia Xiaohong is sure that if she doesn't get a double percentile...the difference won't be much. Far.

"Really? You don't want to lie to Mommy?" Jiang Meiying glanced at Xia Xiaohong suspiciously. Jiang Meiying still had some idea of ​​her daughter's grades.

"Mum...you just trust him once, okay?"
