Chapter 438 Mom, I want to eat melon too



However, Su Runrun also understood that Chen Zhizhi was not Zhao Manman, so naturally she did not have Zhao Manman's abilities.

Just as Su Ruanruan was thinking, Niu Guifang gently patted her, "Ruan sister, what are you thinking about?"

Facing Niu Guifang's curious and worried gaze, Su Ruanruan smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, I'm not thinking about anything."

Seeing that Su Ruanruan didn't say anything, Niu Guifang didn't continue to ask.

Although Niu Guifang has a carefree personality, she is not someone who does not know how to advance or retreat.

As long as Su Ruanruan doesn't want to say it, she won't break the casserole to get to the bottom of it.

It is very easy to get along with people with this kind of personality.

It is precisely because of this that the two people can get along like sisters.

After talking enough about other people’s gossip, Niu Guifang also started talking about her own family affairs.

"The three kids are all in school, and I'm free again. The weather is getting warmer and the thaw is coming soon. I'm thinking about what to plant in the vegetable garden this year. What do you think, little girl?"

The winter here is too cold and too long, so long that Su Runrun even forgot her original plan.

Now hearing Niu Guifang ask this question, Su Runrun remembered her previous plan.

She wants to grow watermelons.

Fruits are a very rare thing in this era.

Although every household would plant a few melon seedlings in the vegetable garden, because the seeds were not good and the varieties were not good enough, the melons produced not only tasted average but also had many seeds.

Su Runrun planned to buy some better melon seeds from the gold rush, plant them in her own yard, and then study grafting and cultivation. Maybe she could come up with a new product.

However, Su Ruanruan also knows that these things are easy to say but not easy to do.

But now she has nothing, but she has plenty of time.

If one year doesn’t work, then two years. If two years doesn’t work, then three years. Before the reform and opening up, it should be possible to cultivate it, right? !

Besides, she has the golden finger of Taojinjin, which is equivalent to doing research on the shoulders of giants.

If she still can't do it, then she might as well just give up doing nothing and just wait for death in this life.

Thinking this in her heart, Su Runrun made herself laugh.

Niu Guifang was waiting for Su Runruan's answer, but before she could get an answer, she heard Su Runruan burst out laughing.

"Soft girl, what are you laughing at? Tell me what happy things you think of."

Su Ruanruan looked at Niu Guifang and blinked at her, "Sister-in-law, I want to plant fewer vegetables and more melons this year. I got a lot of melon seeds some time ago, and I heard that they are varieties that we don't have here.

I want to study it carefully, maybe it will be successful, and we will have a good time in the future."

"That's great!" Niu Guifang didn't mean to pour cold water on Su Ruanruan. Instead, she was very supportive. "If you want to plant, just plant melons. I'll plant vegetables all over my yard. When the time comes, you can just go to my yard and pick the vegetables."

Su Ruanruan was extremely moved and looked at Niu Guifang eagerly, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind."

Niu Guifang blushed a little when she was looked at, and smiled and waved her hands, "What's the good of this? I grow vegetables every year, and I can't eat them all every year. It's just enough for our two families.

But you are different, you want to grow new varieties of melons!

If it can really be grown, I can eat it ready-made.

So, I got the best deal."

Su Ruanruan blinked, "What if I can't grow it? Do you trust me so much, sister-in-law? Aren't you afraid that I'm lazy and don't want to grow vegetables, and say I want to grow melons, but in fact I want to eat the vegetables you grow?"

Niu Guifang waved her hands without thinking, "That's impossible, you're not that kind of person. Besides, even if you really want to eat the vegetables I grow, I'd be more than happy!"

Even though Su Ruanruan always thought she was quite talkative, after hearing what Niu Guifang said, she didn't know what to say.

After staring at Niu Guifang for a long time, Su Ruanruan solemnly assured, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely grow the melons, and then I will let you eat a different one every day."

"Okay, I'll remember what you said. If you can't grow any melons, I'll ask your old man to use his allowance to buy us some melons."

After saying this, Niu Guifang couldn't help laughing, and Su Runrun also smiled with her eyes curved.

The quadruplets were also playing on the kang, glancing over at the two of them from time to time.

While the two people in front were talking, the quadruplets remained silent.

But at this time, Xiao Si came over and said in a baby voice, "Mom, I want to eat melon too."

Although she knew that this melon was not that melon, Su Runrun still found it very funny to see Xiao Si said this with a serious look on his face.

Su Ruanruan raised her hand and rubbed Xiao Si's head, "Okay, let Xiao Si eat it too when the time comes."

After getting Su Ruanruan's assurance, Xiao Si went back to playing with his three brothers contentedly.

For Su Ruanruan, no matter what season it is, it is not difficult to eat anything. She can just buy it from Taojinjin.

When the quadruplets were still young and couldn't speak, Su Ruanruan bought food for them without any hesitation and gave it to them directly.

But as they grew up and learned to speak, Su Ruanruan no longer dared to do so.

She was really afraid that the quadruplets would accidentally tell others and bring disaster to their family.

Compared to eating, of course, the safety of your family is more important.

With this in mind, it becomes even more necessary to grow all kinds of melons.

Although there is no way to store it until winter, at least we can enjoy fruits and vegetables freely in spring, summer and autumn.

To achieve this goal, Su Runruan started turning the soil as soon as the ground thawed.

Su Runruan also told Fu Wenjing about her plan to plant melons. Fu Wenjing was strong and efficient at work. Before Su Runruan had even turned over a little bit of the land, he had already finished turning over the rest.

For the turned over land, break up the larger clods of soil and divide them into ridges.

Su Ruanruan specially set aside a small piece of land for growing seedlings.

Although the weather has become warmer, you still need to keep warm if you want the seedlings to grow faster.

After sowing the seeds, water them sufficiently and cover them with a layer of straw mat.

This will help the seeds germinate faster.

After only three or five days, the seedling grew to the same height as Su Ruanruan's little finger.

In order to increase the survival rate of these seedlings, Su Runrun did not rush to transplant them, but waited until each seedling grew three or four leaves before digging them out and transplanting them.

In the entire yard, except for the paved area, the rest was planted with various melons by Su Runrun.
