Chapter 96 95 Watermelon Field

Wang Yuan hadn't seen Li Ping for a while. When he looked carefully, he found that this girl was getting more and more beautiful.

The sunset covered the sky in the west, and wisps of smoke curled up, finally blending into the clouds.

Li Yan poked her head out of the house: "You're back? It's time to wash your hands and eat."

"Well, I can smell the aroma of dumplings." Wang Yuan walked into the house with a smile and saw the big watermelon next to Weng Gen'er.

The six or seven large watermelons with flowery skin looked very pleasing to the eye. While washing his hands, he asked curiously: "Where did the big watermelons come from?"

Li Ping raised her chest proudly: "I carried it on my back!"

"My mother-in-law's family doesn't grow watermelons. Where did you get them? Did you steal them?"

"Don't waste your time. We have a family that grows melons. In the end, some are left and everyone can pick them. My mother was thinking that you didn't have any watermelons to eat, so she asked me to bring them."

"Pull the yanggua?"

"That's right, but some watermelons are quite big... Ah, why are you, this little puppy, licking my hand? No, I'm going to crush your dog's head." Li Ping is really full of energy***

He was so strong that he went straight to chase the dog.

"Woof woof woof~"

The three local dogs were jumping around and playing happily with Li Ping.

Wang Yuan went into the house and put on the Kang table, and Li Yan also opened the lid of the pot in the outer room. She put the dumplings, which were like small boats, onto the aluminum grate, and then placed the grate on top of the basin.

Pour a ladle of cold water on the dumplings, then hold the edge of the grate and shake the dumplings so that the dumpling skins will not stick together.

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

"It's on the pot table, on the right side. Do you see it?"

"I saw it, stop teasing the dog, wash your hands and eat quickly." Li Yan was really helpless towards her sister.

Li Ping, a big girl, ran into the house and said with a breathless smile: "The three little dogs ran so fast that I couldn't catch them at all. It's so annoying!"

Except for one grate of dumplings, Li Yan put the remaining dumplings into a bowl.

Wang Yuan turned on the light and sat cross-legged on the kang. He poured vinegar into small bowls, added minced garlic and stirred evenly. Then he put the meat dumplings in, dipped them in, and stuffed them into his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Li Yan sat opposite Wang Yuan, 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 hard to knead... The three little dogs always make trouble for me, and they scratch the door when I'm locked out."

Li Yan flipped her hair around her ears, then ate the dumplings as well.

It was completely dark outside the window. The three of them were sitting inside, eating meat dumplings and chatting about homely things, feeling extremely happy.

Wang Yuan felt almost something, and then he remembered that he hadn't poured the wine, so he went down to the kang and poured a small cup of Maotai.

Li Yan couldn't help but say to him: "You still drink while eating meat dumplings. Why don't you skip one meal?"

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

Li Yan rolled her eyes at him charmingly: "Be virtuous, you are addicted to alcohol as much as your life."

Wang Yuan smiled at Li Ping and said: "I see that without your sister taking care of me every day, it means that you are here, so your sister is saving face for me, otherwise your sister would have yelled at me."

"Hahaha~ That's nonsense." Li Yan laughed instantly.

Li Ping also smiled, her eyes turning into crescent moons: "My sister, I'm doing this for your own good. There's no harm in drinking less."

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

Wang Yuan was shocked and said: "Going to Xiaobaitun to pick watermelons in the middle of the night? Don't say you don't need any money. I won't even go if you give me some money. It would be nice to have that time at home to watch TV and sleep."

"Oh, it's just for fun. It doesn't cost anything. If you don't pick it, it's free."

"Riding a bicycle in the dark to Xiaobaitun, and then coming back with a bag of watermelon? It's too hard. Our family doesn't have to suffer that. Things like watermelon are very cheap and can be bought and eaten."

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

The atmosphere was a bit depressing. After finishing the meal, Li Yan went to wash the pots but still didn't talk to him. Wang Yuan lost his temper instantly.

"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 out laughing, and Li Yan also laughed: "Didn't you say you won't go? I won't force you."

After hanging a basket on the back seat of the bicycle, Wang Yuan pulled two more fertilizer bags and took them with him, while Li Ping shouted: "Bring more flashlights, it's too dark to see the watermelons."

"We only have one 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, the two sisters Li Yan were waiting for him, holding on to the handlebars of their bicycles.

The three of them set off quickly on three bicycles.

Thin clouds were floating, the moonlight was bright, long shadows passed across the ground, and there were sounds of crickets and toads in the surrounding grass.

"The little wind is blowing, it's so cool."

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

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

Riding on the dirt at night, and occasionally passing some graveyards, the two sisters Li Yan were really a little scared, but with Wang Yuan, an old man, around and full of yang energy, they felt much more at ease.

With Li Ping guiding them, the three of them turned around and finally entered a small road. After driving for more than a hundred meters, they finally arrived at the melon field.

The endless watermelon fields appeared before our eyes, which looked quite shocking. The cold wind blew the moon, the thin clouds fluttered, and the melon leaves rustled.

"How many acres of watermelon are there here? It looks like there are far more than ten acres."

"I heard 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 walked into the fields carrying the baskets. They walked very carefully, one foot deep and one foot shallow. Li Yan almost tripped over the melon vines.

"Hey! Here is a small watermelon!"

Li Yan was excited to find a small watermelon weighing about 2 pounds among the dense melon vines. It was quite round.

"Is it cooked?"

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

Bang~

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

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

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

Wang Yuan broke the small watermelon into several segments and ate them with Li Yan and Li Ping. It was quite sweet.

"Come on, it's such a large melon field. If I don't pick up a few more bags of watermelon, I'd be sorry for myself."

Wang Yuan became very energetic instantly, and Li Yan and her sisters happily followed him to pick up watermelons.
