Watermelon is delicious, so delicious that you can’t get enough of it.

A watermelon was not very big to begin with, and with so many people eating it, most of it was eaten up in a short while.

Looking at the remaining half, the three Hongya siblings swallowed their saliva, obviously wanting to continue eating.

Niu Guifang didn't cut it for them.

"No matter how delicious the food is, you can't keep eating it. You have to save room for food. Besides, eating too much can cause stomach upset."

Su Ruanruan nodded in agreement. "Your mother is right. We really can't eat too much at one time. Anyway, the watermelons have begun to ripen. We can pick fresh watermelons every day. We don't have to worry about running out of food."

The three Hongya siblings nodded obediently, "We understand."

In the afternoon, Su Ruanruan picked another melon from the field, rode her tricycle, and went out with the quadruplets.

She wanted to send the watermelon to Wang Maoni and Fu Chunshan.

When Su Runruan arrived, Wang Maoni and Fu Chunshan were talking in the shade of the yard. They were both very surprised to see Su Runruan coming in holding a big watermelon.

Wang Maoni even stood up, took a few quick steps forward, and took the watermelon.

"Ruanruan, where did you get this watermelon? Is it expensive? Can't you just keep it and eat it? Why did you bring it over here?"

"I didn't buy it." Su Ruanruan explained with a smile, "Mom, didn't I tell you before? I planted a yard full of watermelons in the yard."

Wang Maoni was even more surprised. "So this watermelon is grown in your yard? It's only been a few months. Are the watermelons ripe already? This is too early."

Wang Maoni also grows watermelons. She used to grow them every year and this year she planted a few in the yard.

But the watermelons in his yard are still small cucumbers, and it will take another month or so before they can be eaten.

How come the same soft and crisp watermelon ripens so early?

"The variety I planted is different. It is a rare seed that I bought from someone before. I was thinking of giving it a try, but I didn't expect it to actually grow successfully."

When talking to Niu Guifang, Su Runrun said that the seeds were brought back from the Hongqi Production Brigade.

But now when I talk to Wang Maoni, I naturally can't say that. I can only say that I bought it from someone else.

Su Ruanruan is not afraid of being exposed.

Even if the two of them talked about this, their words would match.

I bought it from someone else at the Hongqi Production Team, and there is no problem at all.

"Not everyone can grow new varieties. Only you have the ability to grow them. Have you eaten them? Cut them open and let's taste them together."

"I ate them. Several of them were ripe. I even gave one to Sister Niu."

Wang Maoni nodded in agreement, "Indeed, you should give her one. You live in the same compound, you are neighbors, and she has helped you a lot."

Fu Chunshan also stood up at this time, turned and went into the kitchen, and came out after a while with a big kitchen knife.

Although we just had lunch, it’s not wrong to have some fruit after the meal.

However, Su Ruanruan specifically told the quadruplets to only have a small taste and did not let them eat too much.

After all, he is young. If he eats too much and gets a stomachache, he will suffer.

They were sitting in the yard eating watermelon when an old man walked in from the door.

"Oh, they are eating watermelon. What a coincidence that I came here."

Su Ruanruan didn't know him and just smiled politely.

Fu Chunshan invited the visitor to sit down, "Captain, please sit down. This is the watermelon my wife planted in the yard. It is a new variety, so it matures earlier. I specially sent it here for us two old people to taste.

Captain, you should try it too. Although this melon is not very big, it has red flesh, plenty of moisture, and is sweet.

"You've praised this melon so much, I'm going to give it a good taste."

As the captain said this, he took a piece of watermelon, opened his mouth wide and took a bite.

"It's really good, it tastes good. If you have seeds, please leave some for us next year, and I will let the people in our team grow some themselves."

Su Ruanruan immediately agreed when she heard this, "I will definitely save more seeds this year and send them to the captain when the time comes."

In this era of material scarcity, fruits became even more precious.

It’s not because they can’t be grown, but because there is not enough food at that time, and it is impossible to use large areas of land to grow fruit.

Just plant some in corners or on the edge of the vegetable field, just enough to satisfy your own hunger.

Su Ruanruan is not counting on making money from growing watermelons, and she is not short of money.

Giving this seed to the captain might even earn you a favor.

After all, one should be grateful when receiving favors from others.

The team leader asked for her melon seeds and distributed them to other people in the team. The entire team was indebted to her.

Su Runrun did not expect them to be grateful to her, she just hoped that they could take good care of Wang Maoni and Fu Chunshan, that would be enough.

After the two of them finished talking, Fu Chunshan smiled and said, "Captain, what's the matter with you coming here at this time?"

The big mouth wiped his mouth and said, "Look at me, I was so busy eating watermelon that I even forgot about the important things."

As he spoke, he took out an envelope from his pocket.

"Here's a letter for you. It was delivered today. I rushed it to you."

Any letter?

Su Ruanruan raised her eyebrows subconsciously.

Apart from Fu Siwa and Fu Erya, the only people who would write to Fu Chunshan and Wang Maoni were people from the Red Flag Production Brigade.

I don't know who wrote this letter.

After the captain took out the letter, he stopped sitting and stood up.

"Okay, you guys go ahead and do your work. I have something else to do so I'll leave first."

Fu Chunshan stood up and saw him off until he had walked the captain out of the courtyard. Then he came back and handed the letter in his hand to Su Ruanruan.

"Ruanruan, look who wrote this?"

Fu Chunshan himself was of course literate, after all, he used to be a team leader.

But now that he is getting older, it is not an important matter. And with Su Ruanruan around, he is too lazy to wear reading glasses to read the letter.

Su Ruanruan took the envelope with both hands and knew who the sender was after just one glance at the signature.

"It's a letter from my hometown."

When Su Ruanruan said this, Fu Chunshan and Wang Maoni frowned at the same time.

After so many things happened, the two had very complicated feelings towards Boss Fu and others.

As soon as I saw the letter coming from there, I subconsciously felt that it was not a good thing.

But after all, they are their own descendants. Even if they are not happy about it, they still have to read the letter.

Fu Chunshan nodded and said, "Open Nian Nian."
