Dongmei took a deep breath and replied, "It's a cold melon seedling, a seedling that bears cold melon."
Cold melon?
The village chief and Uncle Zhao looked at each other, both a little confused.
"Sister-in-law Ye, is the cold melon you are talking about the kind that is very valuable and passed down from the foreign tribes in the west?"
"Yes," Dongmei nodded, feeling uneasy. After all, she had never seen a cold melon seedling. But the little ancestor just told her clearly, and even had tips on how to plant it.
She couldn't figure out where the young master found the cold melon vines. Maybe he didn't even find the cold melon vines.
Of course, she couldn't say the second part of the sentence, and she didn't dare to say it.
The village chief and Uncle Zhao had already rushed to the cold melon seedlings. They were overjoyed by the greenery in their eyes.
"If this little seedling is planted, it will produce cold melons? I heard that each cold melon weighs more than ten kilograms!"
"I guess they are like pumpkins, the kind that climb vines."
"What to do, we don't know. How to plant it? Where did Mr. Ye find such a precious thing! If we can't plant it, it will be wasted."
Dongmei could only say, "Hangua likes sandy soil, so it is suitable to plant it on the river beach at this time. It is not necessary on weekdays. It's too laborious, just pinch it off in another month."
"Is it so easy?" The village chief and Uncle Zhao became even more happy when they heard this, and hurried back to tell the villagers to get up.
We haven't had time to clean up the riverbank yet, so we need to concentrate all our efforts to open a few acres of land and plant cold melon seedlings.
The villagers were sleepy-eyed, so they went out with their pickaxes and followed the village chief Feng Fenghuohuo to the fields.
When they heard that the cold melon seedlings Mr. Ye had found were so valuable, everyone was as excited as a chicken.
Even if the cold melons produced in the end cannot be sold, it will open everyone's eyes and satisfy their cravings, both young and old.
At this moment, Jiayin was sleeping on the quilt and drooling.
It's pity that she is so young and staying up most of the night really delays her growth.
Seeing that she was sleeping soundly, the family members were all very gentle and did not want to wake her up.
But it was noon, and the old lady was anxious. Although her granddaughter didn't have a fever and didn't look uncomfortable in any way, she couldn't sleep like this all the time.
"Fu Niu, grandma has steamed egg custard for you, why don't you get up to eat?"
"Sleepy, sleep." Jiayin responded, turning over and going to sleep.
The old lady was even more worried. She held her granddaughter in her arms and teased her.
"If you don't get up, your brother will eat the custard."
Jia An Jiaxi immediately made a gobbling sound next to him, and shouted at the end.
"It's delicious, it's so delicious!"
"It's fragrant, it's so fragrant. I just want to eat the egg custard every day."
Jiayin had no choice but to yawn and open her eyes, and her filial granddaughter was forced to open the business.
The old lady was so happy that she coaxed her granddaughter to eat half the bowl of custard, and gave the remaining half to her grandson.
She was afraid that her granddaughter would fall asleep again and become sleepy after walking at night, so she took the bamboo basket on her back and carried her granddaughter to the riverbank to watch people planting cold melon seedlings.
Of course Jia An Jiaxi couldn't miss the excitement. Pi Dian Dian followed behind, occasionally pulling small wild flowers on the roadside and stuffing them for her sister, making a fuss like two jumping monkeys.
The village chief was standing at the edge of the field, smoking a pipe and pot. When he saw Mr. Li coming, he smiled.
"Sister, if you don't come over, I have to go find you."
"Village Chief, is something wrong?" Although Mrs. Li's arrow wound has healed, her body is still weak and she can't breathe after walking for such a period. Even Qi.
Jiayin quickly struggled to get off the old lady's back and only hugged the old lady's thigh.
The village chief lit the cold melon seedlings in the field with his pipe pot, "This thing is the golden pimple that Mr. Ye found. I'm afraid of wild beasts on the mountain or someone nearby coming to cause trouble. It just so happened that the boys from each family were free to be naughty, so I Find something for them to do.
"From now on, let them be responsible for guarding this cold melon field. Jia'an Jiaxi was the smartest and cleverest, so he asked the two of them to lead the team and guard the two shifts during the day. It's too dark and dangerous at night, so let Fourth Brother and the others take responsibility! "
Jia'an's family was delighted to hear that they could be responsible for such an important task, but they were extremely happy.
They looked at grandma eagerly, for fear that grandma would not agree.
Of course, Mrs. Li totally agreed. The last time her grandson was naughty, she almost burned her granddaughter. , she was thinking about this matter.
But these boys said it was too big or too small, and it was really difficult to arrange their work. If they were injured or tired, there would be no regrets.
Now that it is better, the job of guarding the melon fields is simply It was so suitable.
So, she agreed, "Okay, big brother, just make arrangements. Give the kids something to do and save them from being naughty everywhere.
"Ah, great, we have some errands too! " "Jia'an Jiaxi was so happy that they immediately went to their friends to report the good news.
Jiayin hugged her grandma's thigh and smiled secretly.
The brothers are so naive. The job of watching melons is easy, but also boring.
They were afraid that they would regret it if they could not hold on for two days.
But unexpectedly, Jiayin guessed wrong this time.
Jia'an Jiaxi and seven or eight naughty boys seriously started working as melon farmers.
The morning class , the afternoon shift, guarding several acres of melon fields, not to mention small animals gnawing on the melon seedlings, even birds are not allowed to land.
Not to mention Broken Gold Beach, the feet of old people, young people, and small ones do not touch the ground, only the burnt Over at Jiazhuangzi, Wu Gouzi's wife has not slept well for two or three days.
Hu Laosan promised to come back in two days. As long as he finds out the details of the Li family's little girl, he will not stay any longer.
And although the two of them are married, It's a bit shameful, but now is the time when love is strong. It's impossible for Hu Laosan to take a fancy to others and sneak away. Something
must have happened to Hu Laosan!
She couldn't bear it anymore, so she secretly wanted to go to her master's house. She took a look around the yard. After all, Hu Laosan was arranged by the master to be a spy.
As a result, she rushed to the yard of the master's house, and a group of people came outside Zhuangzi, some on horseback and some in cars.
And the man riding first Behind the tall horse, he actually dragged Hu Laosan.
I don't know how far he was dragged, but Hu Laosan was already covered in blood and half dead.
Wu Gouzi's wife screamed and rushed forward.
"Lao San, what's wrong with you? , the third child! "
The person who dismounted was none other than Marquis Dingbei. He frowned tightly, with nowhere to vent his anger. When he saw a woman rushing forward, he raised his foot and kicked her away.
"What is it? Tied up! "
Immediately, guards came forward, tied up Wu Gouzi's wife, and threw her together with the unconscious Hu Laosan.
Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng got off the carriage, only glanced at it and ignored it.
But they looked at Dingbeihou's eyes were filled with contempt. He
was a powerful military prince, but he couldn't manage his family well, yet he got angry and angered his servants and women. What a good spirit!
Dingbeihou didn't care about what they thought, so he walked in. Yard.
Ms. Jiao was also worried in the house. The manpower she sent out did not come back to report for several days, and she always felt unsure.
But Mrs. Jiao did not care, "What are you worried about? They are just a group of untouchables. Even if they find problems, they still What can be done? You are Mrs. Dingbeihou! "
Jiao wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back.
