"Grow melons? What kind of melons? Pumpkins, loofahs? You don't hunt anymore, so you plan to become a melon farmer?"
Cheng Shun glanced at Cheng Yue, then looked at Shanshui and asked.
He doesn't have high requirements for his son-in-law. He just wants him to be good to his daughter and have a skill.
In the past, Shanshui’s craft was hunting, but now he suddenly wants to become a melon farmer. Well, that’s not bad. Even if the melons he grows are not good, he can still go hunting.
"Dad, we're planning to plant watermelons. My second brother found the seeds, and I'm planning to plant some on our 200 acres of wasteland as well."
Seeing Cheng Wu leisurely feeding the child, Cheng Yue decided to pull him in.
"Watermelon! The one with the green striped skin, red core, and black seeds?"
Before Cheng Wu could say anything, Cheng Wen, who was eating happily, put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at Cheng Yue with shining eyes, and then looked at Cheng Wu.
Cheng Yue was stunned. Why did Cheng Wen react like this?
Have you eaten it?
As far as I can remember, Cheng Pangya has never eaten watermelon!
Oh, no, it seemed like there was a time, ten years ago, when Cheng Pangya was still young, and Gu Xuelan brought back half a watermelon. At that time, Cheng Wu was still young, and each member of the family got a piece.
"Yes, big brother. It's the melon that big sister-in-law brought home to eat. You almost ate the rind of the melon because of the noise you made!"
Cheng Wu said with a smile.
"You little brat, why are you making fun of your big brother? You're so shameless! You were crying all the time, and instead of trying to steal your nephew's melon, you tried to steal your sister's. But your sister pushed you down and hit you on the forehead. Have you forgotten?"
Jiang said with a smile.
"mother!"
Cheng Wu forgot about this embarrassing incident.
"Hahaha, I remember, I remember. I didn't steal my sister's that time!"
Cheng Wen laughed out loud.
"You three, explain yourself clearly to me!"
Cheng Shun slammed the table and said angrily.
They didn't even discuss this land matter with him, their father. Do they still respect him?
Seeing that Cheng Shun was angry, Cheng Wen shut up obediently.
Cheng Wu gave Cheng Yue a look that meant, go ahead and tell me, or my dad will beat me.
Cheng Yue cast his eyes at Shanshui again. Although his father now treated Shanshui as his own and sometimes scolded him, he generally would not hit Shanshui.
Shanshui received Cheng Yue's gaze, smiled, and began to explain to Cheng Shun.
After he finished speaking, Cheng Yue took over and told him how many seeds Cheng Wu asked Li Fu to buy in the provincial capital. She had just been to Shanshui House to check and saw how much area could be planted.
Cheng Shun didn't scold or beat the child even though it was such a serious matter. After listening to the story, he asked, "I've never heard of anyone growing watermelons in Yunzhou Prefecture. The half that the old lady brought back was a reward from the master of the house for embroidering a large piece, and she only got half, not the whole thing. This thing must be precious. Can we grow it so easily?"
"Dad, have you forgotten that we have special soil at home? The vegetables grown in the soil in the yard grow much faster than those grown in ordinary soil."
Cheng Wu spoke only after he was sure that his father would no longer hit or scold anyone.
"Are you stupid or dumb? Our little plot of land doesn't even have an acre, but Fatty said that three bags of seeds would cover at least several hundred acres. Even if we dig up our vegetable patch, we still can't fill it up to a few hundred acres!"
Cheng Shun said unhappily.
