Chapter 94 Watermelon

"Lingzi, your yard is so cool."

Han Chuang sat on the stone bench and was sighing comfortably.

He was so hot that he had just arrived that he couldn't wait to cool down the tea that Wang Susu made, so he ran to the water pressing well, bent down and pressed water out while pouring it into his mouth. After drinking the cow, he felt better.

"There are many trees in the mountains, and we still have a large reservoir, which makes it look cooler."

Chen Ling smiled, then gently kicked the little rabbit at his feet away.

These little things are like this. When outsiders come, they are not afraid of being angry. They still stick to Chen Ling, lying on their feet one by one, and their little bodies are hot, making him look like he is wearing cotton shoes, and his feet sweat over time.

Only then did Han Chuang notice the rabbit under Chen Ling's feet and immediately let out a strange scream.

"It's a rabbit, Xiaoqing, look, little rabbit."

Jiang Xiaoqing had noticed it a long time ago, but her family is also from the countryside. Although she has a mother who works as a teacher in a middle school in the county, she grew up in the countryside and has long been used to this.

Seeing that the little rabbit is so sticky, you know that this little rabbit must have been raised by Chen Ling since childhood.

Han Chuang was surprised, got up and squatted on the ground, staring at the little rabbit with big eyes like copper bells, and kept staring at the little rabbit. After a while, he carefully wanted to reach out to touch, but the little rabbits didn't even hide.

This guy made Han Chuang a very rare man.

He picked up two little rabbits and rushed to Jiang Xiaoqing and was so stupid.

Jiang Xiaoqing felt so embarrassed when he saw his attitude. He couldn't help but kick him hard under the stone table.

Han Chuang then smiled embarrassedly, put the rabbit down, and then said to Chen Ling: "I saw that your family has two dogs of this big size. I thought it was a litter of dogs just now, but I didn't expect it to be a little rabbit."

"You like rabbits, you can catch them if you like them."

Chen Ling remembered his appearance of holding the rabbit and not letting go, so he said.

"Then, that's good."

Han Chuang nodded excitedly when he heard this.

But after nodding, he realized something was wrong and hurriedly turned his face to see Jiang Xiaoqing's expression.

Chen Ling couldn't help laughing. He really didn't expect that Han Chuang, a tall guy, would be afraid of being like a bear if he had a wife.

Wang Susu was also a little smiled when she saw this, and she felt that her husband, a friend, seemed a little silly.

But this is good, so you won’t be afraid that Chen Ling will suffer any losses when getting along.

If she had been with someone like Chen Erzhu, she would have been worried.

"What do you want to eat at noon? Lamb, pork, fish and shrimp..."

Chen Ling saw that it was almost ten o'clock, so he had to prepare lunch early. He came to the door all the way and had to leave food today.

"By the way, there are rice dumplings in the well, I'll pull them up."

Han Chuang and Jiang Xiaoqing kept saying to Chen Ling not to work hard, just talk and chat, they are not outsiders.

That being said, this is not the case.

Chen Ling walked to the well and pulled up the rice dumplings, and asked Wang Susu to steam all the remaining ten in the basket.

In fact, he and Wang Susu have been eating these days, but Liang Hongyu has given too much, and she has filled a large basket. After eating for three or four days, there are still more than ten left.

"Chuangzi, let's take you to catch shrimps."

After steaming the rice dumplings, Chen Ling greeted Han Chuang and walked out with a bamboo basket net bag.

Han Chuang first asked Jiang Xiaoqing if she would go. When she saw that she wouldn't go, he followed Chen Ling out of the door happily.

"Su Su, you are at home with Hao Xiaoqing."

"I know, don't worry."

On the way out to the reservoir, I saw that many families in the village had their daughters going back to their doors. Some might be far away, but now they arrived at home at almost 10 am.

They all wore headscarves and dolls. When they met people from the same village, they stopped to say hello and chatted for a few words.

What surprised Chen Ling was that there were people who talked to him, and he pulled the doll and asked him to call him uncle. However, Chen Ling looked at him for a long time but couldn't recognize who married the girl, which made Han Chuang laugh.

He took Han Chuang to the reservoir to touch the bamboo basket of crayfish. When he came back, he met that boy Chen Ze and forced him to give him a few eels. Only then did Chen Ling realize that the person who was talking to him was Chen Ze's sister Chen Fang.

Chen Ling was embarrassed by the enthusiasm of the siblings.

Especially Chen Ze, when he went out to work in high school, he also told him a few good things to his boss. Unfortunately, Chen Ling was too unscrupulous and did not work hard. He also implicated the other party and lost his job.

In the past, Chen Ze always held a grudge against him, and he didn't even look at him when he met. But when he started to get better, this young man of his generation took the initiative to resolve the small holidays.

Originally, Chen Ling thought that even if the festival was gone, he would be nodding in the future.

Unexpectedly, I just left and met. I knew that Chen Ling's family was entertaining guests, so the kid forced a few eels to come over.

Chen Ling was also quite moved for a moment.

After returning home, Chen Ling thought of going to Cui Chuizi to get two pounds of pork, but before he could leave, someone came again.

"Uncle Fugui, I heard that you were entertaining guests and asked me to send you some melons."

Liu Ni'er walked into the yard with a bunch of little babies, holding a big flower-skinned watermelon in each of her arms.

"Ouch, come in, come in."

Seeing this attitude, Chen Ling hurriedly took Wang Susu and Han Chuang to pick him up.

"This guy, Tatsuya is really there. Why did you send it here so far? I just want to eat it and go to the melon field to pick it myself."

"Uncle Fugui is fine, we can move."

Liunier wiped the sweat beads on her forehead, sucked her nose and laughed.

Little babies in the countryside run wildly outside all day, and usually start helping with farm work at the age of six or seven, and have the strength to do it.

But Chen Ling was still a little reluctant to see him. Now the watermelon has grown to a height of 7 or 8 pounds, which makes the little babies come back from the field with 7 or 8 pounds of 7 or 8 pounds of 8 pounds of 8 pounds of 10 or 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10 pounds of 10

Chen Ling is really afraid of being tired of them.

He hurried to the well and filled a large basin of water.

"Come on, wash your hands and face."

"Liu Nier, please don't hide behind you. Come and wash it well. Look at your nose, it's not clean day by day."

After all the other little babies were washed obediently, Liu Nier came over reluctantly.

"I don't want to wash my face, I feel it hurts."

"Stop talking nonsense, your face is full of sweat and snot, come and wash it."

Chen Ling reached out and pulled him over, pressed him to the edge of the basin and washed him.

After washing, Wang Susu brought a towel and asked them to wipe their hands and faces clean one by one, and then brought a stool to sit down and rest.

Then, seeing Xizi's fingers being cut by melon vines, she washed them with water and still had some blood. She pulled two red silk grass outside the wall and chewed them, helped the girl apply it to the wound, and then took a strip of cloth from the house and wrapped it in it.

Red silk grass, also known as earthen grass, is a common hemostatic grass in rural areas. It looks a bit similar to purslane. It is very effective to stop bleeding when bumped and scratched.

"Thank you, Aunt Susu."

Xizi pinched the bandaged fingers, blushed and said in a low voice.

Wang Susu rubbed Xizi's little head and smiled: "I've been eating here for lunch. Today, you Uncle Fugui is making delicious food."

"I can't do it. I Da said Uncle Fugui wants to entertain guests and don't let me bother you here."

Liu Ni'er heard that Chen Ling wanted to cook the meal, so she couldn't help swallowing. Chen Ling's cooking was delicious, and they knew better than anyone else.

But Wang Lixian had instructed him that he had no courage to stay here.

After saying that, he turned around and ran out with a bunch of little babies.

"Hey, don't leave, why are your kid running so fast?"

Seeing that Chen Ling could not keep it, he had to chase after him and each of them stuffed a handful of candy.

"Liu Nier, why don't you pick the watermelon at home when it's ripe?"

"Pick it, pick it the day after tomorrow. Ida is afraid that it will soak the melons in the rain, so she prepares to pick it early."

The weather changes before and after the wheat is ripe, and it often rains heavily. If the watermelon is soaked in the field, the watermelon will not be sweet and will be difficult to sell at that time, so it can only lower the price.

Chen Ling nodded when he heard this and remembered it in his heart.

If Wang Lixian asks the children to send watermelons, he will definitely not be able to give them money. The two families are close to each other and cannot always use money to measure it. Just record this favor. When Wang Lixian's family collects the melons, they will help themselves.

Back in the yard, Chen Ling soaked two big watermelons into the bucket, tied them with a rope and put them in the well.

It's hot now and the melons are hot. It's better to put them in the well before eating.
