"Jinjun, I'm so happy for you." Xia Chen said with a smile on her face, looking at the man.
Xia Jinjun nodded, "I'm happy too. If I had known, I wouldn't have studied. Anyway, studying is for you to live a good life, and the same goes for farming."
But he had never thought of growing fruits and vegetables before. It was the little girl's idea.
"You've become darker and thinner." Xia Chen stroked his face and said with concern.
"Why would a man be so pale? I'm not thin at all. I have endless energy right now."
Xia Chenshi felt mixed emotions. If the man continued to study, he would have a future.
"Don't be sad, I made money, aren't you happy?"
Xia Chen said with tears in her eyes: "I'm happy."
"That's right." Xia Jinjun pinched her face, "Let me tell you, this year we can sell dozens of taels of watermelon alone. The third brother works hard, he does more than I do, and he cares more. What do you think..."
"Yes, we'll divide it however you say." Xia Chen said with a smile.
"You are really a good daughter-in-law to me." Xia Jinjun looked at Chen with gratitude.
"We are all family. I know that my third brother does his work without reservation. Besides, their child is about to be born, so they need to save some money. They can't always rely on my brother and sister-in-law's family for living."
Xia Jinjun smiled and divided the money into two parts. When he gave it to Xia Jinyu, the couple refused repeatedly.
"No, second brother. I didn't pay much for the mountain, so how can I ask for so much? Even if you really want a share, I can only take 10% at most."
Cheng Han also nodded. She was not a cheap person. Moreover, this 10% was a lot, far more than what they had invested. "Second brother, I know you and your sister-in-law want to help us, but we are all a family, and we don't need to spend much. If you give us so much, we really dare not take it."
"This... we are a family, why should we be polite?"
"I'm not being polite. Second sister-in-law is a good person and doesn't bother with us, but we can't pretend to be ignorant when we know the truth. Isn't that bullying? The better she is, the less we should push her."
Xia Jinjun didn't know how to respond.
"We'll just take 10%, which is what we deserve. I think even if we only take 10%, we've made a lot of money. The watermelons haven't been sold out yet, and there will be more fruit on the trees in the future."
Xia Jinjun nodded, "Okay, I'll give Jinxiu's share later, and mother's share as well."
Xia Jinjun took the silver back and explained the reason. Xia Chenshi stopped trying to persuade him and said, "When the baby of our third brother is born, we will prepare a big gift for him."
"Didn't you embroider a lot?"
Xia Jinjun looked at the pile of small clothes and bellybands, and felt bad when she thought that none of her own four children had any to wear. At that time, the younger ones had to wear the leftover clothes from the older ones.
"This is not enough. I want to make another gold lock."
"Then give our daughter one too. If other kids have one, our daughter should have one too. It's not like we can't afford it."
"Okay, I get it. You're going to the county to deliver watermelons again tomorrow, right?" Xia Chen asked softly.
"Yes, this batch of watermelons was agreed upon before. Boss Wang and Boss Li will get one truckload each. The deposit has been paid. It has rained a lot these past few days, but there has been little sunshine, so the watermelons are slow to ripen. Now that the weather has finally cleared up, I have to deliver them quickly."
"Speaking of which, our watermelons are really easy to sell. More and more people are placing orders now. We should plant more next year."
Xia Chen looked at the happy man, but she was confused, "How can I grow watermelons if they don't have seeds?"
"Hiss... Yeah, I hadn't thought about it until you said it." Xia Jinjun said seriously, "Without seeds, this thing can't be grown? Where can I buy it from?"
"do you remember?"
"I remember. How could I forget this? But if that's the case, then that family must not only sell to me. Why haven't I heard that other families have grown it as well?"
After the couple thought about it, they were completely confused.
That doesn't make sense.
Watermelon has been a success, and Xia Zhiliao is no longer worried. She has been counting on her fingers these days to see when General Wei will be able to come back.
Go back to the capital first, report back, and then come here. It will definitely take a long time.
She was getting anxious waiting, and she didn't know if her grandma was anxious too.
But she was wrong. General Wei couldn't wait to return to the capital.
"General, you...you are not going back to the capital to report? The emperor has prepared a celebration banquet for you."
General Wei waved his hand and said, "I don't want a celebration banquet. I have more important things to do. I am responsible for fighting and winning the war. Everything else is empty talk. How should I tell the emperor? Do you know what I am doing?"
The deputy general looked at him, shook his head and nodded, "Yes... a little bit, where are you going?"
General Wei glanced at him and said, "I won't tell you."
The deputy general was immediately embarrassed, "General, please bring some people..."
However, General Wei rode away and could no longer be heard.
Ten days later, General Wei arrived at the familiar town. Over the past decade, the town had changed a lot, but it was still not completely unrecognizable.
This medicine shop has a new sign. Back then, Sister Qing brought him here to sell medicinal herbs and used the money she earned to pay for his medical treatment.
He recognized the man who ran the shop, and it was still the same as always. He wanted to buy some jewelry for Sister Qing, but Sister Qing said that it was a waste of money and it would be better to buy some food instead.
Sister Qing, Sister Qing, here I come.
General Wei rode at full speed without stopping for a moment and arrived at the village where he had lived for half a year. At a glance, he saw smoke coming out of the chimney of the small house that had appeared in the door countless times.
There were some children playing on the road, so he had to dismount for fear of scaring them.
It was almost dusk and there were not many people on the road. They must be preparing dinner.
The closer he got to where he wanted to go, the slower he walked.
From a distance he saw a little girl with cute braids, dressed neatly, and sitting at the door with a delicate and pretty face.
She also saw herself at this time, but she was not afraid and even smiled at herself.
General Wei also laughed. As he had led troops in battles for many years, he had a strong smell of blood. Many little kids would stay away from him and some would even cry when they saw him.
This girl is an exception.
Xia Zhiliao was also excited. With this age and temperament, he was definitely the victorious general Wei Rong.
This is half a month earlier than she expected, which shows how anxious she is.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Xia Zhiliao," Xia Zhiliao said crisply, "Are you here to see my grandma?"
Wei Rong took a deep breath. This girl is really smart.
But soon he burst into laughter. The little girl was so clever, just like Sister Qing. "Do you know who I am?"
Xia Zhiliao nodded, "Yes, General Wei?"
After saying that, she turned around and shouted towards the yard, "Grandma, there are guests at home, please come out quickly!"
