After treating Old Man Yuan, Qu Tong went to check out the farm, where the fifth farm was entirely planted with watermelons.
It was now May, and the early batch of watermelons was nearly ripe.
Although interstellar planting does not require choosing seasons, eating watermelons does, so Ke Jun had staggered the planting times, which could extend as late as September.
Since she was there, she decided to do some promotion as well.
Qu Tong waved at Xixi in the potato field, and the little girl joyfully ran up to her, crisply calling out "Sister."
Qu Tong gave her three lollipops: "Go ask Xiang Tao and Xiaoguang if they have time tomorrow to come help me out; there's a treat in it for you."
"Thank you, Sister! They definitely have time; I'll go tell them right now," Xixi said as she ran away, her two small braids bouncing.
Qu Tong returned to the yard and ripened a dozen big watermelons with her special ability.
The next morning, the three children arrived bright and early.
