Chapter 238 Mom, Plant Seedless Watermelons



"Oh, by the way, Mom, I brought back some watermelon seeds from there. If we have any private plots at home, we can plant some and eat them in the summer."

"It's not easy to come back from so far away. I should bring what I need. Why bring seeds? It's not like we don't have watermelons at home. We've already planted them."

Su Runrun certainly knew that the Fu family knew how to grow watermelons. Not just the Fu family, but the entire Hongqi Production Brigade, and even the entire county, as long as every family had a private plot of land, would grow some watermelons and fruits.

The supply of fruits and vegetables is limited, and if you don’t grow them at home, you really won’t have anywhere to eat them.

Su Ruanruan smiled sweetly at Wang Maoni, "Mom, if it's the same as the ones we have at home, then I definitely won't bring it. This variety is different from the ones we have at home! It's said that it has no seeds and is especially sweet."

In the Hongqi Production Brigade, every household grows the same variety of watermelon, with light green skin, small size, and flesh that is not particularly red, but with a lot of watermelon seeds.

When you take a bite of the watermelon, you can spit out five, six, seven or eight watermelon seeds.

Although these watermelon seeds will not be wasted, they can be fried in a pan after drying and become melon seeds.

As long as it is well sealed, it can be eaten for a long time.

But when eating the melon, the taste and experience are not that good.

Wang Maoni, who had originally had no interest, became somewhat interested after hearing what Su Runrun said, but she still did not quite believe it.

"Are you serious? Could it be that someone has tricked you?"

"Mom, you're so smart, how could I be fooled? I ate it last summer!"

Su Ruanruan spoke seriously and had really eaten it, so Wang Maoni believed it.

"Okay! Then plant some! Where are the seeds? We have some private plots at home, in the corners and edges, where we can plant a few trees.

If it's as good as you say, I'll plant more next year."

"Okay! I'll get it for mom right away!"

Su Ruanruan said this and quickly went to look for seeds in her luggage bag.

She had specially packed the seeds and found them out in a short while and handed them to Wang Maoni.

Wang Maoni is a man of action. She stood up immediately after receiving the seeds. "It's a little late to plant now. I'll quickly soak the seeds."

Seeds like this always need to be soaked overnight and then sown the next morning. They should also be covered with a straw mat and watered several times a day so that they can germinate faster.

Su Runrun didn't need to remind her of these things. Wang Maoni had been farming for most of her life and knew everything about it.

Looking at Wang Maoni's back as she left in a hurry, Su Runrun smiled silently.

I was a little disgusted just now, but now that I know the whole story, I quickly ran to soak the seeds, fearing that if I delay for too long, I won’t be able to grow watermelons this year, which would be a waste of Su Runrun’s kindness.

In the afternoon, Fu Wenjing came back on his bicycle.

Su Ruanruan was watching the quadruplets playing in the yard. When she saw Fu Wenjing coming back, she quickly stood up.

"How about it?"

Fu Wenjing quickly parked his bike, walked quickly to Su Ruanruan, and whispered, "I've called them, but they said they need to check it carefully, and it will probably take two or three days to get a reply."

Hearing this, Su Ruanruan felt a little disappointed, but she quickly figured it out.

This is not the era of information explosion that she lived in before she traveled through time.

In this era, transportation is underdeveloped and information is not transmitted quickly enough. If you want to check some information, you can't just type on the keyboard to check the surveillance. You can only run around to ask and search one by one.

The other party said that they would give a reply within three days, which is considered fast.

After figuring it out, Su Ruanruan smiled at Fu Wenjing and said, "You must be tired after running so far back and forth. Go wash your hands and face quickly. There is freshly boiled water in the room. Drink some hot water."

"Okay!" Fu Wenjing agreed with a smile, "I can go by myself, wife, you don't have to worry about me, I'll come out to look after them later, you can also take a rest."

"I'm not tired, why should I rest? They just woke up and I also slept for a while."

Fu Wenjing was relieved, "That's fine, I'll go wash my face first."

Fu Wenjing turned around to wash his face. His back looked strong and upright, yet not stiff.

If Su Ruanruan were to describe it, it would be one word - pleasing to the eye.

Just looking at it makes people feel it is a kind of enjoyment.

Su Runrun felt that she could look at Fu Wenjing's back for the rest of her life.

Wang Maoni was also in the yard, watching all the interactions between the two. The more she watched, the more satisfied she became, and even the smile in her eyes deepened.

Wang Maonike was not like some of the mothers-in-law in the production team who were afraid that their sons and daughters-in-law would have a good relationship and would always find ways to instigate them.

In Wang Maoni's opinion, it is the best thing that her son and daughter-in-law have a good relationship.

A family can thrive only when it is harmonious.

The whole family fights like black-eyed chickens all day long. It would be strange if they can live a good life.

Su Runruan had just retracted her gaze when she inadvertently caught a glimpse of Wang Maoni's expression from the corner of her eye. Looking at Wang Maoni's expression as if she was shipping them, Su Runruan's face suddenly turned red.

How does it feel to be criticized by your mother-in-law in front of you?

It seems... pretty good.

I just feel a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Wang Maoni quickly withdrew her gaze, and Su Runruan felt much more at ease.

Not long after, Fu Wenjing walked out of the house and took the quadruplets out to play, but did not let Su Ruanruan follow.

"Wife, you can just stay at home and check if there's anything to pack for the four of them. Mother and I can go together."

Su Ruanruan blinked at Fu Wenjing and said, "Okay, go ahead!"

The quadruplets are now the most popular people in the production team. Whenever they go out, they will be surrounded by a lot of people.

Compared to chatting with people in the production team, Su Runrun prefers to stay at home, at least it is quiet.

As for the quadruplets' clothes, Fu Wenjing had already washed and hung them all out when he got up in the morning, and they are almost dry now.

Su Ruanruan had nothing to do but wait for the clothes to dry and then take them away.

What Fu Wenjing just said were all excuses. In fact, he just wanted her to rest at home.

Su Ruanruan turned around and went back to the house.

Who would have thought that just after entering the room and before anyone sat down, I heard someone calling me from behind.

"Aunt Qi, can I come in?"

Hearing the voice, Su Runrun looked back and saw Xu Yingzi standing at the door.

Looking at Xu Yingzi, Su Runrun felt somewhat strange.

It's working time now, why is Xu Yingzi at home?

Although she felt a little strange, Su Ruanruan nodded, "Okay, come in!"

Xu Yingzi smiled shyly, walked in, and stood in the middle of the room, looking somewhat restrained.
