Chapter 177 Eating Watermelon



Song Jinxiu finally waited for the big watermelon in the village. When she saw the ox cart full of watermelons, she smiled so hard that her teeth showed.

Keep going, fruit freedom is just around the corner.

"It would be great if we could grow seedless ones." Song Jinxiu and Liu Ankang each held half a watermelon and were eating it.

Liu Ankang nodded in agreement. "Right, right, right. Eating it this way is really too much trouble. You even have to spit out the seeds. Not only that, but you have to swallow the flesh too."

"You are so wasteful. You actually want to drink watermelon juice?" Song Jinxiu looked at Liu Ankang with condemnation.

"How comfortable it is to hug a watermelon and eat it in the hot summer! What's so good about watermelon juice? Your hedonism is unacceptable.

No, although watermelon juice is delicious, it lacks that feeling."

Liu Ankang: “…”

Song Jinxiu also gave one to each of her three little sisters.

"It's perfect to eat watermelon in the summer. It's really timely! Are there any left? I want to buy some too." Zhao Tingting said happily while hugging the watermelon.

"No more. This batch has been picked. We should have to wait for a while before there are more." Song Jinxiu said after thinking for a while.

This batch has already been taken by Song Jinxiu.

"Is it in your yard? It doesn't look like it! I didn't see one this big the last time I went there." Zhao Tingting asked in confusion.

"No, the melons in my yard are smaller. These are from the village," Song Jinxiu said. "I have no choice. I love to eat them, so the aunts and uncles in the village grew melons for me."

"This is great! Who would be willing to use their land to grow fruit now? They would like to plant grains on the ridges of the fields." Nowadays, the source of fruit basically comes from wild fruits.

There are some places that specialize in growing fruit, but that's a geographical issue. Some land that can't be used to grow grain is used to grow fruit.

Or, it is specially supplied, anyway it is not for ordinary people to eat.

"Of course, being the group's favorite is a joke!" Song Jinxiu said proudly, raising her chin.

"When will you take us to your village to play? I'm really curious about what you said. It seems that the people in your village are very friendly. It's different from other rural areas I've seen." Zhao Tingting bumped into Song Jinxiu and said.

"It's very troublesome to go into the mountains. It takes half a day to go back and forth, and you have to stay overnight to play. I'm afraid you won't be used to it!" Song Jinxiu said.

"Is it so far? Can't we go back and forth on the same day?" Zhao Tingting asked.

Song Jinxiu shook her head. "Unless you guys just grab the watermelons and run away when you get to the village, it will be dark before you can even play for a bit!"

"You make us act like thieves." Zhao Tingting patted Song Jinxiu.

"Everyone has their own opinions. I don't mean that." Song Jinxiu said with a smile.

"Go to hell." Several people started fighting again.

A few days later, Zhao Tingting came to see Song Jinxiu again.

Zhao Tingting said shyly, "If we move to the village, do you have room for us?"

"Hahaha!!! You look so unlike yourself!" Song Jinxiu was not used to seeing her like a little woman.

"Stop talking nonsense. I'm asking you a question." Zhao Tingting put away her shyness and said fiercely.

"Yes, yes, yes, where are my two rooms! Either the four of us can squeeze in, or I can talk to An An and let him sleep with Ping An, and then the four of us can occupy the two rooms." Song Jinxiu said with a smile.

"Then, take us to the village to play for two days!" Zhao Tingting looked at Song Jinxiu expectantly.

She never thought that she would look forward to going to the countryside one day. She had been to the countryside before, but because she was used to living in the city, the various inconveniences in the village made her not want to go a second time after going there once.

"It will take two days. I will notify you when someone comes to the village in two days!" said Song Jinxiu.

"Okay, then what should we prepare?" Zhao Tingting said excitedly.

"Don't bring a skirt, bring comfortable clothes and shoes. I'll take you hiking when the time comes!" Song Jinxiu said.

"No problem." Then a few people chatted about things in the mountains and looked forward to it.

Dakang never knew that someone would care about him so much.

Song Jinxiu found someone to help her with her work for two days, and then she took her sisters back to the village.

Because it was not the children's holiday, there were only Song Jinxiu, four others and Liu Ankang on the ox cart.

Liu Ankang was worried about them, so he asked for leave and went back to the village with them.

Teachers always treat top students differently. Not only do they easily approve their leave, but they also tell them to combine work and rest, and that it is necessary to put down their books and get close to nature occasionally.

It’s no wonder the teacher said that, Liu Ankang is well-known for his love of reading in school.

He reads in class, after class, and in the library after school. During holidays, you can often see him reading in bookstores.

It seems that he is either reading or on his way to read.

Everyone was confused. They were both primary school students, so how come the other had so many books to read?

Back to the topic, the four little sisters were chattering on the ox cart, while Liu Ankang closed his eyes and rested.

Liu Ankang just thinks that girls are really magical creatures. They can chat about everything from how much a bag costs to whether there are aliens in outer space.

However, the most amazing thing is that the topic finally comes back to bags.

Since I come back so often, the house in the village isn't too dirty. It can be lived in after a little cleaning.

The mat and quilt are all in the box, just spread them out and you're done. You don't need a quilt in the hot summer, it's much simpler.

"I'm going to the village chief's house and to visit a pregnant woman. Do you want to play here or come with me?" Song Jinxiu asked.

"Will it be inconvenient? If possible, let's go and take a look together." Zhao Tingting asked.

"It's not inconvenient. Let's go." Song Jinxiu prepared some candies.

He would send some to the village chief from time to time to support his cause of quitting smoking, which made Jin Heping very jealous.

He also encouraged the children to ask the village chief to share candy, but unfortunately no one dared to do so.

Jin Heping didn't dare to do so, and could only look at Song Jinxiu with an accusing look, accusing her of being biased.

"Uncle, are you home? I'm back." Song Jinxiu shouted loudly outside the door.

No one responded, so Song Jinxiu pushed open the gate. The gate was not locked, which meant there was no one inside.

"Would it be bad if you went in directly like this?" Shangguan Jiao tugged at Song Jinxiu's clothes.

"It's okay, just put your things down and leave!" Song Jinxiu said.

She put the candies and pastries into the house because she was afraid they would get damaged by the strong sun in the yard.

Then I carried my things and went to see Dahua.

"Dahua, Dahua! Are you home?" Song Jinxiu called from outside the door.

She didn't go in directly, after all, this was the home of Dahua and Little Mouse.

It would be embarrassing if Dahua was not here!

"I'm here, come in." Dahua answered as she slowly walked out.

"Don't come out, we can just go in directly." Song Jinxiu opened the gate and walked in, and the other three followed behind.

Liu Ankang didn't follow him out from home.
