Chapter 68 The Silly Wife Wants to Cheat Watermelon
"It is said that your second son's wife is very lucky." The man next door looked at the tractor going away with his mouth wide open and smiled happily.
"Yes, the married girl has got her spoils back. Xiaomei is really a filial child."
"That's right, Qijun's kid is pretty good too, he treats his mother-in-law as his own mother."
Wang Minzhi felt as if her heart was stabbed by a knife when she heard this. She felt very upset.
Li Cuihua, who heard the noise in the main room, could no longer sit still, so she went to the door with her bowl in hand and looked out.
I watched the tractor drive along the winding village road straight to the foot of the mountain, which was the Ma family's land.
All the bitterness in Wang Minzhi's heart was gathered on her brows. Zhao Mei didn't know the rules, and were the Ma family's parents crazy?
How can this be possible? The married daughter took her mother away? This... there is no such thing as this.
Wang Minzhi glanced sideways at her mother-in-law, with hatred in her eyes much stronger than before: You are so difficult to serve. If you don't show any strength, you will chase this one away and that one away. Now, Zhao Mei will not come back, and I still have to work and cook and serve you, this old woman.

In the watermelon field, Ye Xiaomei suddenly squatted down to check: "Brother Ma, look, there are still fallen watermelon seeds, and the vines have been pulled out."
Yes, wherever a certain agricultural product has been grown, there must be seeds left over from before.
Ma Qijun squatted down with difficulty, holding his knees, and looked at the thin watermelon vines that were one or two meters long. Some of them still had small yellow flowers, and some had already produced thumb-sized watermelon seeds:
"These are useless. The watermelon season ended last month."
Ye Xiaomei was stunned when she heard this, her big eyes full of doubts. She lowered her chin and looked at the watermelon seedlings:
"Then since watermelons are available from May to June and July, why are the watermelons here so late?"
Ma Qijun thought the question his wife asked was childish, but seeing how serious she looked and how pleasing it was, he reluctantly explained it:
"Some watermelon seeds naturally fall to the ground and are buried deeper, without human care, so the germination stage will be later than other watermelons. But this kind of watermelon will not produce seeds, because by the time they grow up, it will be autumn."
Ye Xiaomei frowned, and suddenly had an idea. She shook her head and said, "Brother Ma, your answer is different from what I learned."
After all, I have learned animal husbandry and farming courses along the way, so it wasn't learned in vain. Besides, those teachers were all from the agricultural college in the city.
Oh, you've learned it before? Ma Qijun simply sat down on the spot. He hired three masters and three laborers to work enthusiastically on the courtyard wall behind him.
Ye Xiaomei held her chin up in thought: "For example, it's not just the depth of the soil that has an impact. It's like, why do watermelons ripen in summer? Why can't watermelons grow in autumn?"
"..." Ma Qijun, a 1.9-meter-tall man, had a face full of question marks. As a graduate of a military academy, he had never thought about such a question.
Suddenly I thought I was stupid, but then I thought my wife was right. Why? It's like why a peach tree can't bear peaches in winter?
Ye Xiaomei looked at the handsome and bright man who suddenly turned into a big fool, and she felt particularly proud:
"Brother Ma, if I could control the temperature and create an environment that feels like summer, do you think these watermelons would be fooled into thinking it was summer?"
Ye Xiaomei pointed at the watermelon in front of her which was only as big as a marble.
Ma Qijun was at a loss, scratching his head and saying, "I really don't understand this, but... I know a professor of agricultural science, I'll ask him for you when I have time."
Ye Xiaomei looked at the eldest brother with squinting eyes: "A beast?" He suddenly frowned, which was in contrast to his previous expression.
Ma Qijun smiled and rubbed his wife's forehead helplessly: "You, you still don't understand. Junior high school students take the high school entrance exam and then the college entrance exam. College entrance exams depend on graduate students. After graduation, at least after comprehensive evaluation, you can get a doctorate based on your individual award-winning achievements and knowledge. Only after that can you become a professor. However, professors must have rich teaching experience and have produced substantial works in the industry..."
Ye Xiaomei nodded as she listened: "Speaking of which, the kind with extremely high education?"
It seems to be true. For Xiaomei, having a junior high school education is enviable, and having high school and college education is even more enviable. Now, Brother Ma said that after college, there are graduate schools, and there are so many more.
Ye Xiaomei thought of the saying, "There is no end to learning," which might mean that learning never ends.
Suddenly raising her head, Ye Xiaomei's eyes clearly showed that she had realized something: "By the way, Brother Ma, didn't you graduate from a military academy? How do you know so much?"
Ma Qijun looked at her with a helpless look in his eyes, then nodded admiringly. His daughter-in-law was a surprise in every way.
Then he said helplessly: "When I was in college, I wanted to apply for a science major. Later, because of my extraordinary physical fitness, I was reserved in advance for the military academy. I mean, you know, I was recommended and I could go to the military academy directly without taking an exam. It just so happens that many seniors in our village also served in the army. I thought this was a good idea. After graduation, I can contribute to the country."
Ma Qijun was particularly afraid that his wife would not understand him, so he spoke in extra detail, hoping that such an uneducated girl could understand what he was saying. If she really could not understand, he would speak more simply in the future.
Ye Xiaomei seemed to be lost in thought. Her dream of studying had never been shattered. As for recommendation, she had occasionally heard Huihui talk about someone from such and such school being recommended. However, these people had basically received some kind of honor before the college entrance examination, so it could be concluded that they were excellent.
Ye Xiaomei pursed her lips and nodded. Her man was so outstanding that she couldn't help but let her grape-like eyes flash with admiration for him.
Ma Qijun's heart trembled, and the girl's eyes seemed to bloom.
………………
The construction of the courtyard wall, rabbit cages and sheep pens in the watermelon field was finally completed today.
Ye Xiaomei discussed going to someone's sheepfold in the village to pick out a few sheep, preferably both male and female, to facilitate breeding.
After buying six lambs from Qian's house and settling them down, I agreed with my mother to go to Ye's house the next day to move the rabbits over, and then the two of us went back to our respective homes.
Ye Xiaomei lay on the man's strong arms. The man suddenly turned sideways and gasped heavily, while his other hand began to knead the woman's body dishonestly.
Ye Xiaomei grabbed his hand that was already wandering around her lower abdomen and said, "Brother Ma, you can't come back so often every day, and I'm thinking about something."
"Well, tell me what you're thinking about."
Ye Xiaomei would have thought that if she explained it so directly, his hands would be more obedient. Who would have thought that he wanted to pinch her body like a child, treating her like a piece of dough?
"I have to go back and get my rabbit tomorrow." She had paid for it.
"I'll go with you." When Ma Qijun said this, he put his head into Ye Xiaomei's soft neck and sucked hard.
Ma Qijun didn't know why, but he always had an impulsive feeling of wanting to stop but not being able to when he was with his wife. Maybe it was because her body was soft enough, it was like an electric current passing through the palm of his hand and reaching his whole body, even directly connecting to his lower abdomen, and a tingling and hot feeling was rushing through his body like a wave.
