Chapter 233 The Power of a Plate of Melons
Grandma Qiu took it with a smile: "Xia Qiu, quickly take your sister into the house to sit down, they really benefited from you."
Grandma Qiu was an open person. She spoke frankly in front of everyone in the Qiu family.
After saying that, she took the melon that Xia Qiu handed to her and went into the kitchen. This melon was also grown on their farm, but it was not yet mature. It would be an honor to be able to use it to entertain guests now.
Xia Qiu looked very proud and pulled Chu Xue into the house: "Is everything packed?"
"Well, the date is set for the sixth day of the first lunar month. You and your brother-in-law should go there early then."
As he spoke, he took out the apricots produced in the space from the backpack and said, "Sister, I found this in a hidden place in the back mountain. I heard from the aunties in the village that most pregnant women like to eat these when they have morning sickness. You can keep them as a snack."
Xia Qiu was so happy to see the food. She really wanted to eat something sour these days. "Oh, I wanted to eat this these days. Your brother-in-law went up the mountain to look for it a few days ago. The nearby places had been picked by the children. I only found a few on the top of a tree. It took a lot of effort to bring them back."
Chuxue saw that she was happy and said, "If I find it again, I will give it to you."
The smile on Xia Qiu's face never faded: "Xue, your nephew is in for a treat."
Today, my brother-in-law went to see a girl. The girl is from the North Suburb Farm. They have dealt with each other several times before. The girl has a good personality. She is looking forward to meeting her.
The grandmother of the Qiu family carried the cut melons into the main room and said, "Come, come, come, what a coincidence! Shaofeng's sister-in-law came to visit her sister and brought some melons with her. Let's have a taste."
The matchmaker was very savvy: "Alas, the melons on our farm are probably not ripe yet?"
The grandmother of the Qiu family smiled so much that her eyebrows were not visible. "This is what Xia Qiu's sister's boyfriend brought back from the south. Her family felt sorry for Xia Qiu's pregnancy and asked her sister to send some over. Xia Qiu's child is a good one, so they asked me to cut some and send it over immediately."
The matchmaker took the plate and passed it to the girl's family and the girl: "Come, come, this is a gift from Shaofeng's wife. Come and try it to see if there is any difference between the ones grown in the south and those grown on our farm."
The girl's mother took it first, and the girl followed suit. The matchmaker took a piece for herself and put the plate in front of the guests from the Qiu family: "You can try it too."
After she finished speaking, she took a bite of the melon in her hand. As soon as she took the bite, several people's eyes lit up.
The matchmaker was the first to speak: "This melon is really delicious, not too sweet, but fragrant, and so crispy when you bite it. The melons grown in the south and the north are really different. I was lucky enough to taste the melons grown in the south today. I'll have something to talk about when I talk to people later."
Thinking of something, the matchmaker asked, "What does Xia Qiu's sister's boyfriend do?"
Grandma Qiu smiled and said, "A soldier."
Hearing this, the matchmaker quickly responded, "It's good to be a soldier. You have comrades from all corners of the world. That means you really have friends all over the world."
At this time, the girl's mother came over to see her and asked, "Are you serving in the army in the south?"
Grandma Qiu handed over another piece of melon and said, "I heard from my Shaofeng that he is serving in the military district of Beijing."
The woman who came with her daughter smiled more sincerely and couldn't help but praise her. "Xia Qiu is a hard-working person. I would be relieved if my daughter could become her sister-in-law. They both have good personalities and will definitely get along well."
