After dinner, the whole family went out, including Uncle Dacheng and Dazhuang, who were also called by Jiang Che to help.
"Xiao Che, your watermelons are so juicy."
"It looks delicious, you have a way."
When the group arrived at the melon field, Da Zhuang praised it.
"Da Zhuang, you are wrong. These watermelons were grown by my parents and have nothing to do with me."
"When I'm done, I'll pick one and try it. It tastes really good."
Jiang Che smiled and cleared himself of the responsibility.
"Really? Then I won't be polite later."
"That's right. If you want to eat it, just come pick it anytime. Why are you being so polite to me?"
Jiang Che said nonchalantly.
A group of little ones from the family also came to join in the fun and are now running around in the melon patch.
It brought a lot of joy to everyone. Xu Guotao and his family took Wannian to pick watermelons in the watermelon field.
Whenever he liked something, he would put a small note on it and ask Tang Tian to help send it to Kyoto.
Lingzhi held the watermelon, which was bigger than her head, and hurriedly put it into a basket padded with straw.
Tang Tian also went to the fields herself to pick watermelons for herself.
The whole family joined in, and several large baskets were filled up in no time.
A basket contains about ten large watermelons, each weighing about ten pounds.
One basket weighs one hundred pounds, considering the carrying capacity of the bamboo raft.
I only filled eight baskets, so it's better to be on the safe side. It would be terrible if it flipped over in the creek.
This time, Xu Guotao didn't pick too many, he just picked three watermelons and put them in the basket.
They didn't even weigh them on the scale, they just calculated the weight as ten kilograms each.
Then Jiang Che carried two baskets by himself, while Dazhuang, Uncle Dacheng, Dad and Second Uncle carried one basket back and forth.
Eight baskets of watermelons were moved to Huaxi and put onto a bamboo raft.
A bamboo raft is just enough to hold about 400 kilograms of watermelon.
"Tang Tian, do you want to go with us?"
Standing on the bamboo raft, Jiang Che asked Tang Tian on the shore.
"I won't go. Be careful. If you have any questions, just let Brother Zhao call me."
Tang Tian stood on the shore and shook his head and said.
The bamboo raft was loaded with so many things, it would cause more trouble if she went on board.
"Okay then, you guys go back first."
"Hei Dou and Kidney Bean, stop being naughty and go home with Yuan Bao and the others. I'll be back soon."
Jiang Che waved his hand and gave instructions to Hei Dou Yun Dou who was squatting on the shore.
“Squeak.”
Heidou and Yundou squatted on the pebbles on the shore, waving their little paws and saying goodbye to Jiang Che.
Lingzhi and Tang Tian were so adorable with their earnest little look that they wanted to hug the two little guys.
Black Bean and Kidney Bean turned around and ran away, rolling on the grass with Red Cloud, the little civet cat, and Yueyue Rabbit.
Jiang Che smiled and shook his head, then followed Jiang Yunshan downstream.
By the way, he took out his cell phone and called Song Tianxing's family.
"Brother Song, are you guys here yet?"
"We've arrived at Xiaoche, right at the river mouth of Dawa Village you mentioned. There's a truck here."
"This brother said he's here to wait for you too. You'll be able to see him once you get here."
Song Tianxing said immediately on the phone.
Unexpectedly, Song Tianxing and Tang Tian's drivers collided with each other.
"Okay, Brother Song, wait for me for ten minutes, I'll be there soon."
After Jiang Che hung up the phone, he stood on the bamboo raft and admired the scenery on both sides of the river.
The rolling green hills shade the winding stream, and the lush trees in the middle of the stream hang down to the water surface.
The scenery is very beautiful, and the water flow is not too fast.
Maybe in the future we can really develop a bamboo rafting project or build a floating restaurant.
“Squeak…”
Suddenly, a roar of an animal caught Jiang Che's attention, and he quickly looked over following the sound.
Just then, he saw a golden figure standing on a big tree by the stream, roaring at Jiang Che.
After taking a closer look, I unexpectedly discovered that it was actually a golden monkey.
"Dad, I haven't heard that there are golden monkeys here?"
Jiang Che asked Jiang Yunshan in surprise.
Jiang Yunshan also saw the little guy and said with a smile.
"It's normal that you haven't seen one. Even I haven't seen one. Our Qingyun Mountain borders Shennongjia. These golden snub-nosed monkeys probably came from there."
"Your grandfather said these monkeys usually live deep in Qingyun Mountain. He occasionally saw them when he was picking ginseng in his youth."
Jiang Yunshan thought for a moment and said with a smile.
Jiang Che nodded. So that's how it is. The golden monkey is indeed a national treasure. Its appearance is beyond words. Its fur shines golden in the sun.
Standing on a tree branch, he looked at Jiang Che and the others curiously.
Jiang Che also looked at the little guy with great curiosity, but did not disturb it.
But before they could watch for a while, a bigger golden monkey ran out from the dense forest and picked up the little guy.
Jiang Che smiled and looked away. It seemed that the person was the little monkey's mother.
Monkeys generally live in groups. There are two of them here, so there must be more in the mountains.
When I have time in the future, I will come and take a look at this area, Jiang Che thought to himself.
Drifting along the current, my father and second uncle didn't have to put in any effort at all. At most, they just used a bamboo pole to adjust the direction and they were out of the mountain stream.
After drifting on Huaxi for about five minutes, we saw a village in the distance.
There were a few people looking around by the water, and a little girl in a flowery dress jumped and danced when she saw them appear.
It must be little Song Huanhuan. Seeing this, my father and second uncle immediately paddled the bamboo raft over.
