Chapter 318 Picking Watermelons
They did it right away, and the next day everyone went to pick watermelons.
The melon field was bustling with activity, and the adults were driving away the children who were making trouble.
"Get to the shore right now! You guys are going to be beaten today for breaking a melon!"
Under the threat of the board, the children stretched their necks on the shore but still shouted at the top of their lungs.
"Mom, I want to eat watermelon. I want to eat watermelon today!"
"I'm going to give you two big slaps, will you eat them? Shut up and stop yelling!"
The children pouted.
At this time Heidan came with his army of wolves, big and small, and a fox.
The fox came to eat the watermelon.
Just when he ran into the melon field and wanted to eat a watermelon, Song Wei grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up.
The fat fox with orange-red fur looked at her pitifully, and cleverly bowed to her, whimpering and acting coquettishly.
Song Wei put it on the edge of the field: "Don't go to the field, don't eat the watermelon carelessly, I will buy two when I go back, not now."
At last he threatened: "If you come down again, I will pluck out all your hair."
This fox is very smart. He may not understand what is said, but he can understand the cues very well.
He lay on the ground, covering his head and whimpering pitifully.
Song Wei also went to the melon field to pick melons. A group of children, wolves, cats, dogs and foxes were all looking at them eagerly on the shore.
"Ahem... Don't you want to know what caracals, snow leopards, and horses look like? I brought the photos here."
Heidan raised his chin with great pride.
The wolf tooth necklace around her neck is very eye-catching.
He wore the necklace out to show off yesterday, and everyone in the village envied him.
Today he also brought a wolf tooth necklace, the same one worn by the captain's grandchildren, except that it only had one wolf tooth.
"Shuanzi, this is for you. I don't have any more."
Friends are divided into close and distant relatives, and Shuanzi is his best friend.
The other kids could only look on with envy.
Heidan has now become the eldest of the children in the village.
"Although the wolf tooth necklace is gone, I still have wolf teeth at home. I will give wolf teeth to whoever behaves well in the future."
Suddenly, everyone looked at Heidan with heated eyes.
"Heidan, Heidan, I have some candy for you."
"Heidan, I'll give you some boiled eggs."
Heidan was very satisfied, because these were all his little brothers! Then a group of children gathered together to look at the photos. Heidan told them what the animals in the photos were, which immediately attracted a burst of frog sounds.
The adults just took a look and left it alone, just don't cause trouble.
The watermelons are large and fragile, so the team leader used straw to separate them in the tractor bed to reduce the loss.
Their team planted about ten acres of watermelons. When the first truckload of watermelons was taken away, Song Wei suddenly remembered something.
He found Lin Zhen and said, "Don't forget that we promised to bring back some watermelons for the comrade who sold us the watermelon seeds."
Lin Zhen nodded: "I remember it."
After watching the people leave, they picked some more watermelons and stopped when it was time to eat.
Some people in the team bought watermelons to eat, and Song Wei was no exception. She kept the biggest and best ones she liked and waited to take them back home after work.
In front of her, the village party secretary's family was also buying watermelons, and they bought three at once.
"Hey, village party secretary, are you bringing watermelon for Xiaowan as well?"
Jiang Xiaowan got married, just one month after she and Lin Zhen went to the northwest.
A lot happened in that month.
"Yes, Xiaowan and her husband brought a big fat chicken back to our house. When our watermelons are ripe, we will bring two over for them to try."
The village party secretary and his family all had smiles on their faces. It seemed that Jiang Xiaowan's married life should be good. At least her parents were very satisfied.
A scumbag like Luo Yecheng is not worth keeping in mind for so long.
"Song Zhiqing, you bought some melons too."
Seeing Song Wei, the village party secretary and his family greeted her cheerfully, obviously having a good impression of her.
Song Wei also responded openly: "Lin Zhen and I were not back when Comrade Jiang Xiaowan got married. It was a pity that we didn't attend the wedding."
"Your own affairs are more important. Everyone will be able to see Xiaowan when she returns to her parents' home in the future."
After buying the watermelons, Song Wei took Heidan and the group of wolves and foxes back to Lin Zhen's house.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
The fox was so eager to eat it that even the three deer in the house came over.
The little sika deer has now grown into an adult sika deer, and its antlers are particularly beautiful and shiny.
"Wait, we need to calm it down with a well before we can eat it. Let's wait for a while."
There were too many animals at home, so she bought two big watermelons.
Although wolves are carnivores, it turns out that they also like to eat cool and sweet watermelon in this weather.
Although Lin Zhen had left, he had prepared food in the morning and all they needed to do was heat it up and eat it.
After Song Wei and Heidan finished their breakfast, they took out one of the watermelons at the urging of a group of animals.
A circle gathered around the small table.
Cut the watermelon into crescent shapes of similar size.
"Go, get your own food bowls."
The two big wolves quickly went to grab their own food bowls.
The smaller ones, however, didn't have the strength to do so. They cried out in anxiety as they saw the two big wolves already eating the food.
It was Heidan who took out a basin for them, and Song Wei cut two pieces of watermelon into small pieces. The watermelon rinds could be saved for the deer and roe deer, or fed to chickens and rabbits. There was no waste at all.
Song Wei and Heidan were eating melons leisurely, while the team leader and Lin Zhen were selling melons busily.
Watermelons are in great demand these days. The watermelons from Ping An Brigade have basically been bought up by a few big factories.
Lin Zhenhe said hello to the team leader, then carried two watermelons to find the uncle from whom he had bought the watermelon seeds.
The uncle was surprised to see him, but when he looked at the two melons, he remembered what happened and immediately smiled happily.
"You guys actually grew this watermelon. It's really big."
The two melons sent were enough for their family to eat, but who doesn’t have relatives and friends these days?
"The one who sold watermelons in the city before was from your team, right? You see, we have some friendship now. Can you sell me some of these watermelons secretly? The department stores and supply and marketing cooperatives can't get them at all!"
There are so many people in a city, and there are only two or three teams growing watermelons here, so they can't grab all the watermelons.
Lin Zhen said, "We have another shipment of watermelons this afternoon. Come find me at the steel plant and I'll sell you a few, but no more than five."
"Okay, okay, I'll come find you this afternoon."
After Lin Zhen came out from his uncle's place, he went to the city hospital.
The Cordyceps in his hand can be sold for a good price in regular hospitals, so he didn't take the risk of going to the black market.
In the afternoon, Lin Zhen felt that transporting watermelons one by one was too slow, so he carried a few watermelons directly to the agricultural machinery station. In the end, he successfully borrowed two tractors, which made the team leader very happy.
