Chapter 168 Busy planting melons in spring

Dongmei took a deep breath and replied, "It's a cold melon seedling, a seedling that bears cold melon."

  Cold melon?

The village chief and Uncle Zhao looked at each other, both a little confused.

“Sister-in-law Ye, is the cold melon you are talking about the kind that is very valuable and is passed down from foreign tribes in the west?”

"Yes," Dongmei nodded, feeling uneasy. After all, she had never seen cold melon seedlings, but the little ancestor had just told her clearly, and even had tips on how to plant them.

She couldn't figure out where the young master found the cold melon vines. Maybe he didn't even find the cold melon vines.

Of course, she couldn't say the second part of the sentence, and she didn't dare to say it.

The village chief and Uncle Zhao had already rushed to the cold melon seedlings, and they were overjoyed by the greenery in their eyes.

“If this little seedling is planted, it will produce cold melons? I heard that each cold melon weighs more than ten kilograms!”

“It’s probably like a pumpkin, the kind that climbs vines.”

"What can we do? We don't know how to plant it. Where did Mr. Ye find such a precious thing? If we can't plant it, it will be a waste."

Dongmei could only say, "Hangua likes sandy soil, so it is suitable to plant it on the riverbank at this time. You don't have to worry too much on weekdays, just pinch it in a month."

“So easy?” The village chief and Uncle Zhao became even more happy when they heard this, and hurried back to tell the villagers to get up.

We haven't had time to clean up the riverbank yet, so we need to concentrate all our efforts to open a few acres of land and plant cold melon seedlings.

The villagers were sleepy-eyed, so they went out with their pickaxes and followed the village chief Feng Fenghuohuo to the fields.

When they heard that the cold melon seedlings Mr. Ye had found were so valuable, everyone felt like they had been given a shot of chicken blood.

Even if the cold melons produced in the end cannot be sold, it would be good if everyone's horizons are opened and everyone, old and young, can satisfy their cravings.

At this moment, Jiayin was sleeping on the quilt and was drooling.

Poor for her young age, staying up most of the night really delayed her growth.

The family members saw that she was sleeping soundly, so they acted lightly and did not want to wake her up.

 But it was already noon, and the old lady was anxious. Although her granddaughter didn't have a fever and didn't look uncomfortable in any way, she couldn't sleep like this all the time.

“Fu Niu, grandma has steamed egg custard for you, why don’t you get up to eat?”

 “I’m sleepy, go to sleep.” Jiayin responded, turning over and going to sleep.

 The old lady was even more worried. She held her granddaughter in her arms and teased her.

“If you don’t get up, your brother will eat the custard.”

Jia An Jiaxi immediately made a sound of wolfing down the food next to him, and even shouted at the end.

 “Yummy, so delicious!”

 “It smells so good. I just want to eat egg custard every day.”

Jiayin really had no choice but to yawn and open her eyes. The filial granddaughter was forced to go to work.

The old lady was so happy that she coaxed her granddaughter to eat half the bowl of custard, and gave the remaining half to her grandson.

She was afraid that her granddaughter would fall asleep again and become sleepy after walking at night, so she took the bamboo basket on her back and carried her granddaughter to the riverbank to watch people planting cold melon seedlings.

Of course Jia An Jiaxi couldn't miss the excitement. Pi Dian Dian followed behind, occasionally pulling small wild flowers on the roadside and stuffing them for her sister, making a fuss like two jumping monkeys.

The village chief was standing at the edge of the field, smoking a pipe and pot. When he saw Mr. Li coming, he smiled.

“Sister, if you don’t come here, I’m going to find you.”

"Village Chief, is something wrong?" Although Mrs. Li's arrow wound has healed, her body is still weak and she is out of breath after walking for such a period. Jiayin quickly struggled to get off the old lady's back and only hugged the old lady's thighs.

The village chief lit the cold melon seedlings in the field with his pipe pot, "This thing is the golden pimple that Mr. Ye found. I'm afraid of wild beasts on the mountain or someone nearby coming to cause trouble. It just so happened that the boys from each family were free to be naughty, so I Find them something to do.

"From now on, let them be responsible for guarding this cold melon field. Jia An Jiaxi is the smartest and cleverest, so let the two of them lead the team and guard the field in two shifts during the day. It's too dark and dangerous at night, so let the fourth child be responsible!"

Jia An Jia was delighted to hear that they could be responsible for such an important task, but she was extremely happy.

They looked at grandma eagerly, fearing that grandma would disapprove.

Of course Mrs. Li totally agrees. Last time her grandson was naughty and almost burned her granddaughter, she was thinking about it.

 But these boys are not big or small, it is really difficult to arrange their work. If they get injured or tired, they will have no regrets.

Now that things are better, the job of guarding the melon fields is perfect.

So, she agreed, "Okay, big brother, just make arrangements. Find something for the kids to do, so that they don't have to be naughty everywhere."

"Ah, great, we have some errands too!" Jia An was so happy that he immediately went to find their friends to report the good news.

Jiayin hugged her grandma’s thigh and smiled secretly.

 Brothers are so naive. The job of watching melons is easy, but also boring.

 They were afraid that they would regret it if they could not hold on for two days.

 But unexpectedly, Jiayin guessed wrong this time.

Jia An Jiaxi and his seven or eight naughty boys started working as melon farmers conscientiously.

There is one shift in the morning and one in the afternoon, guarding several acres of melon fields, not to mention the small animals nibbling the melon seedlings, and even the birds are not allowed to settle down.

Let’s not talk about the broken golden beach where the old and the young are busy with their feet on the ground. Just talk about the Jiaojiazhuangzi where Wu Gouzi’s daughter-in-law has not slept well for two or three days.

Hu Laosan promised to come back in two days. As long as he found out the details of the little girl from the Li family, he would not stay any longer.

Although the two of them have a somewhat shameful union, now is the time when their love is strong. Hu Laosan can't take a fancy to someone else and sneak back.

 Something must have happened to Hu Laosan!

She couldn't bear it anymore, so she secretly wanted to take a look around the yard of her master's house. After all, Hu Laosan was arranged by his master's family to be a spy.

As a result, she rushed to the courtyard of the master's house, and a group of people came outside the village, some on horseback and some in cars.

 But behind the tall horse that the man rode behind him was actually dragging Hu Laosan.

I don’t know how far I was dragged, but Hu Laosan was already covered in blood and half dead.

Wu Gouzi’s wife screamed in surprise and rushed forward.

 “Lao San, what’s wrong with you, Lao San!”

The person who dismounted was none other than Marquis Dingbei. He frowned tightly and had nowhere to vent his anger. When he saw a woman rushing forward, he raised his foot and kicked her away.

 “What is it? Tie it up!”

Immediately some guards came forward, **** Wu Gouzi's wife, and threw her together with the unconscious Hu Laosan.

Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng got off the carriage and only glanced at it without paying attention.

 But they looked at Dingbeihou with a bit more contempt.

It is a good look at the mandarin military, but the family has no way to get angry, but it is a fire and a woman and a woman.

Dingbeihou didn't care what they thought and walked into the courtyard.

Mrs. Jiao was also worried in the house at first. The men sent out did not come back to report for several days, and she always felt unsure.

 But Mrs. Jiao didn't care, "What are you worried about? They are just a group of untouchables. Even if they find a problem, what else can they do? You are Mrs. Dingbeihou!"

Jiao wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back.
