After dinner, Nuan's father found an opportunity to tell Nuan's mother what Nuan Bao had said. Nuan's mother talked to Nuan Bao again. After confirming that it would not cause any impact on Nuan Bao's body, Nuan's mother agreed to Nuan Bao's suggestion to take the watermelon seedlings from the space.
After eating, Nuan Ma felt sleepy and was taken by her grandmother to sleep in Xiao Qiu's room. Xiao Qiu wanted to take Nuan Bao with her, but Nuan Bao had to help Nuan Ba, so she didn't take a nap.
"What's wrong, brother-in-law? Why are you being so secretive?"
My fourth uncle took out a cloth bag from his pocket, grabbed a handful of tobacco leaves, sprinkled them on the small piece of paper, rolled a cigarette with his fingers, and finally licked the edge with his tongue and lit it.
This cigarette is grown by the villagers themselves, and the smoke after it is lit is particularly pungent.
Fourth Uncle just took two puffs of his cigarette, and when he met Nuanbao Tuqi's expression, he immediately dropped the cigarette under his feet and stomped it out.
"I'm used to it, I'm used to it, I forgot our Nuan Bao'er is still here!"
"I have some watermelon seedlings here. They're all high-yield varieties that a friend brought from the south. Do you want to plant some?"
When Fourth Uncle heard this, he opened his mouth in shock, and it took him a long time to find his voice.
"Brother-in-law, are you serious? You are not joking?"
"How could I possibly joke about something this serious? Oh my god, you ate that melon too! You ate so much! Whether you plant it or not, I'm going to plant it when I get home."
"When did I say I wouldn't plant it anymore? I was just thinking about where to plant it best. Planting it in my own garden is too eye-catching."
Upon hearing this, Nuan's father looked around the yard and finally set his sights on the hill south of the village.
"Go up the mountain and open up wasteland!"
"Go up the mountain and open up wasteland!"
Nuan's father and fourth uncle said in unison.
The two of them had the same idea and couldn't help but smile at each other.
The harvests in every village were not good at the beginning of the year, so the smart people thought of going up to the mountains to find a place to reclaim wasteland and secretly grow some food or vegetables.
The Zhao family also has some. They used to grow soybeans and make tofu and other things privately.
Not long after the beans were planted, a piece of land was cleared next to it for growing more vegetables, and it was used to plant watermelons.
After Fourth Uncle and Father Nuan discussed the details, they both got busy.
My fourth uncle was responsible for going up the mountain to fetch water for the crops, while my father Nuan went to get the melon seedlings from his "friend".
In order to make the play complete, Nuan's father rode a bicycle borrowed from his aunt's family and took Nuan Bao to the town.
The two went to Shen's house and gave them apples and watermelons.
The Shen family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were amazed to see such fresh watermelons and apples.
"It's nothing special. My uncle's brother brought some back from the south. I brought some for you to try. Don't be disgusted by it!"
"You kid, you're being unfaithful again! Didn't we already say that we should treat each other like real relatives from now on?"
Grandma Du said pretending to be angry.
Song Yanru brought a plate of peach cakes and egg cakes and placed it in front of Nuanbao.
"Nuanbaoer, come and try this peach cake and egg cake. I had to queue up at the supply and marketing cooperative early yesterday to buy them. I don't know if they taste the same as the ones we sell in Beijing."
Nuanbao's eyes fell on the peach cakes and egg cakes, and a light flashed in his head.
