Although Xia Zhipeng is the former male protagonist, he is already a person with a very low presence in the Youth League Institute.
In the past, it was the love of Chen Yechu and Wang Mengmeng that gilded his image and made him uniquely attractive. Now, the love of Chen Yechu and Wang Mengmeng for him has all disappeared, and the gilded image is no longer there. Without the halo, he has become dull and invisible in the Youth League Institute, and people ignore his existence.
If Ning Xiyue hadn't seen Xia Zhipeng coming out with a cup of water, she would have thought that there were only four of them in the yard.
Although there were only four of them and one person who had automatically become invisible in the Youth League Home, it didn't feel deserted at all.
The four of them had a deal, and they all took their own things to exchange in Ning Xiyue's small kitchen.
Wang Mengmeng took the money and Wang Jiandong took the seeds and they got the lunch boxes from Ning Xiyue as they wished.
Wang Mengmeng used some money to exchange for a small amount of watermelon seeds and pepper seeds from Wang Jiandong.
Liu Yao exchanged the candy for six watermelon seeds from Wang Jiandong.
Ning Xiyue's lunch box was exchanged for the promised cabbage, peppers, and watermelon seeds, with an emphasis on more watermelon seeds, a total of ten.
Even if the ten seeds are terrible, one or two will grow.
Ning Xiyue doesn't ask for too many, any one will be enough.
Wang Jiandong watched the three people flipping through the seeds with great interest. He thought for a moment and said:
"It's the season for planting watermelons these days, and I want to plant some too. So, I'll teach you how to breed them now. The steps are very simple and you can do it in a few steps. I'll write down the precautions and planting methods for you when I come back tonight. How about that?"
Ning Xiyue would of course be willing to do such a good thing. Having someone teach her on the spot is certainly more reliable than reading the text by herself.
"Sure, I'll trouble you, Comrade Lao Wang, and we'll start cultivating the seeds right away."
"Okay, let's do this. Sister Xi, do you have any warm water? Give me a basin." Wang Jiandong looked at Ning Xiyue and asked.
"have."
Ning Xiyue took out a thermos and poured out some boiling water, then added cold water. Wang Jiandong tested the temperature and called a halt when it reached a temperature he thought was acceptable.
"The first step is to soak the seeds, rubbing them repeatedly in warm water."
Wang Jiandong took the seeds and demonstrated how to rub them, and explained in advance what to do next and what to prepare.
Ning Xiyue and the other two followed suit to soak the seeds.
In fact, the steps are really simple, without those complicated steps.
Now there are only two steps to do. Rub it a few times and then wash it a few times to remove the pectin and other debris on the surface of the seeds. Then put the seeds in a bowl and soak them in warm water overnight. The first stage is completed.
"Alright, just place the bowl somewhere warm on the stove. Tomorrow morning, find a piece of cloth to wrap the seeds in. Find a warm place and place it there. Spray it with water once a day. In about two days, you should see little sprouts."
Wang Jiandong held his small bowl with soaked watermelon seeds in it and talked about everything he knew.
"Once it grows, we can move it to the ground and let it grow on its own. This way, it will grow much faster than if we just plant the seeds in the ground. If nothing goes wrong, we'll be able to eat watermelons in mid-June."
"That's great! I hope they all sprout." Liu Yao smiled foolishly as she looked at the watermelon seeds in the bowl, as if several big watermelons appeared before her eyes.
The four of them stared at the watermelon seeds in their bowls with anticipation in their eyes.
The transaction was completed, the seeds were soaked, and the matter came to a temporary end.
Ning Xiyue put the bowl on the empty stove behind the tin pot and followed the other three people to the front yard. In order to be more energetic to work in the afternoon, they all prepared to go back to the house for a nap.
