The next day, Meng Qidi did not follow Ling Xiao to the county town. She had to plant the watermelons while the sun was still young, otherwise it would be bad if it didn't rain later.
He specially cleared out a shed to grow watermelons, near the land in front of his father's house, and the land in front of the road happened to be smaller.
However, she seemed to have forgotten one thing...
Meng Qidi looked around and it seemed that she had forgotten to leave a paddy field...
She fetched a pot of water from her own fish pond. The sand was too dry, so Meng Qidi could only sprinkle water first and then pull up the seedlings and plant them.
The water quality of the lotus pond is extraordinary and better than that of the stream.
After watering the fields, she went to dig up the seedlings, then hurriedly brought them over to plant. Wang Jinhua came over to help after washing her clothes.
Naturally, the two of them worked much faster and finished the work at around nine o'clock. While Wang Jinhua went to the town to buy meat, Meng Qidi fetched a bucket of well water.
He dropped a drop of Yuquan water into it, poured it directly into a large bucket, shook it, and then brought it to the field.
Each watermelon vine was watered with a bucket of water.
The watermelon vine looked like it had returned to normal from being listless.
After watering, Meng Qidi thought about getting another waterwheel, otherwise it would be difficult to use during a few days of drought.
Of course there is no rush for the waterwheel. We will take a look at it when we have time. Now we need to put up the doorhead, which is the engraved plaque.
Looking at the date, she decided to forget it and set off the firecrackers, as Ling Xiao had bought some.
When Wang Jinhua came back from the town, Meng Qidi had already moved the ladder to the intersection. Ling Hanfang was beside her helping to hold the ladder. There was also a half bucket of cement not far away.
Seeing her climbing up with the big rock, Wang Jinhua was so scared that she jumped off her bicycle, put her things on the ground, and hurried over to help her.
"Be careful, how did you climb up by yourself? Wait for Ling Xiao to come back and fix it."
"It's okay, I'm quite strong." Meng Qidi's voice came from above, and the stone slab on her shoulder facing outwards was covered with cement.
Standing firmly at the highest point, she pushed the stone on her shoulder into the empty space at the door; it was just the right size.
The cement was not dry yet, so Meng Qidi couldn't let go and could only stand on it and push.
Wang Jinhua said unhappily, "Be careful. I'll send the car and the things back home, and I'll bring you the rope later."
This girl is so bold that she has to do what men do by herself. It's a pity that she is so strong...
Wang Jinhua went back to get the rope, while Meng Qidi and Ling Hanfang started chatting.
Ling Hanfang has almost finished his research on mushroom sauce, and recently he has been harvesting and drying mushrooms.
We ordered a lot of glass bottles, registered the trademark as Xiaoqi said, and made a lot of stickers to stick on the bottles.
Everything is ready. They just need to wait for Mr. Qiu Sanye's processing plant to be completed and then they can start work.
"Have you contacted the buyer? I want to sell it in places like the supply and marketing cooperatives and department stores. Restaurants are also fine. Have you contacted them?"
"I asked the town and they said it's OK, but not the county. They said it depends on the finished product."
Meng Qidi nodded, "Then you have to ensure the quality."
Afraid that Xiaoqi would not be able to stand steadily on it, Wang Jinhua trotted over with a hemp rope.
Meng Qidi took the hemp rope handed to her, threw one end over from above, then pulled the other end over from below with both hands, pulled it quickly and hard, and then tied a knot, so that this end was fixed.
Turning to look at the other side, the same quick movements...
When they came down, Ling Hanfang and Wang Jinhua were still guarding below.
Meng Qidi looked up and clapped her hands, "This will have to be tied for a few days."
Ling Hanfang quickly reminded, "Firecrackers, set off the firecrackers quickly."
Wang Jinhua came to her senses, quickly took out her matches, and went to the side with the firecrackers.
Crackling...
Several villagers came over after hearing the noise, took a look at the door, and immediately shouted congratulations.
Meng Qidi remembered the candies that were brought over, and was slow to react, so she quickly grabbed a handful each.
Several villagers smiled and congratulated.
After several people came over, Meng Qidi stuffed a few handfuls of candy to Ling Hanfang who was packing up, "Uncle, this is for you."
Ling Hanfang was helpless, "Why would my family need candy?"
"This candy is not ordinary, it is wedding candy, you must keep it."
Meng Qidi stuffed the candy into his hand without explanation. Ling Hanfang quickly put down his things and held them, "Less. You can save this candy for your mother."
He knew that Jinhua was getting married soon, but the specific date had not been sent to him yet.
Wang Jinhua was slightly stunned, and hurriedly walked towards home, "I forgot to mention it before, we have to clean up, your uncle Yang will be here soon!"
Meng Qidi just remembered this matter. It was over. She forgot to ask Ling Xiao not to go out today. This was a big deal for his mother. It would be bad for her son not to be at home...
"Is Old Yang sending you bad luck today?" Ling Hanfang was also surprised and quickly put the candy into his pocket.
"It's already this late. I'll take the stairs back. Ling Xiao isn't home. He Xiang and I will come over to help later. You should also go back and help your mother clean up."
The two of them parted ways in a hurry. Meng Qidi had no choice but to say goodbye to a few villagers and go back carrying the cement bucket.
There are some cracks in the cement floor near the well, and this cement can be used to fill them. If there is still some cracks, we can move it to the backyard and widen the pool floor.
Actually, it was late. Meng Qidi had finished with all the cement in her hands and it was not yet eleven o'clock.
But after washing her hands, she heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the gate of the courtyard. She hurried into the house and shouted, "Mom, they are coming."
Wang Jinhua had just changed her clothes and came out, fixing her hair. "Xiao Qi, I'll leave the kitchen to you later. I've already cut the vegetables."
Ling Xiao was not around, and Xiao Qi could not be allowed to go out, so she had no choice but to go with a thick face.
Meng Qidi made a gesture to her, indicating that she could do it.
As the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came out, they saw the clan master coming in with Master Yang. They both breathed a sigh of relief and were a little surprised that he came back to help.
There were two people in the group, namely the clan leader and Ling Hanfang, and the rest were brought by Master Yang, carrying various things in their hands.
The clan leader led the people in and said loudly, "Xiao Qi, quickly pour tea for your Uncle Yang and the others."
Meng Qidi came to her senses and quickly turned to the kitchen.
Wang Jinhua came to her senses and quickly welcomed the few people in.
The table in the main room was instantly piled with things.
Wang Jinhua glared at Master Yang unhappily, thinking, isn't it a waste to buy so much?
Master Yang smiled at her foolishly.
The clan leader coughed lightly, indicating that they could begin.
Meng Qidi came out with tea, and several people were already chatting and laughing.
Wang Jinhua naturally couldn't prepare lunch, but Wang Hexiang came to help. She and Meng Qidi were also quick, and by 11:30, the main hall could start serving dishes...
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Lao Yang looked at Wang Jinhua opposite him, and the smile on his face became even brighter. This was enough for his life.
The two of them have lived together for most of their lives, and it has not been easy. Everyone is a trustworthy friend or relative, so no one teases them...
After eating and drinking, the yard was bustling with activity. This was the end of the day.
The date chosen by Master Yang was the sixth day of August, so Wang Jinhua still had one month to prepare for her wedding.
