Chapter 150 Picking Watermelons
Chapter 150 Picking Watermelons
Yu Qingtang picked up the watermelon and weighed it in his hand: "It's just a little small."
Xiao Zijing also picked up a watermelon with great effort: "Hey, Sister Yu, this watermelon is not small."
"Hahaha, it must be quite big when you hold it."
Yu Qingtang saw Xiao Zijing trying hard to pick up the watermelon, the corners of his clothes were lifted up, revealing his white and tender belly.
It felt like his belly was trying hard to hold the watermelon, and she couldn't stop laughing.
"Oh my, come and help me."
Xiao Zijing suddenly fell backwards while holding the watermelon, and quickly called for help.
Yu Qingtang smiled and went up to help.
Before he could get close to Xiao Zijing, he sat down on the ground.
The watermelon in my arms fell down and broke into two halves.
The red watermelon flesh was covered with green grass debris, and the sweet juice flowed into the soil.
Xiao Zijing pouted as if he was about to cry, but Yu Qingtang pinched his upper and lower lips and squeezed his mouth into that of a duck.
"Okay, okay, don't cry, let's eat half each."
Yu Qingtang picked up the two halves of the watermelon, removed the grooves on them and gave her one half.
Xiao Zijing looked at her blankly, and saw her take out a small spoon from somewhere, dig a big circle in the middle of the watermelon, and put it into her mouth.
"Well, this watermelon looks small, but it tastes so sweet."
Yu Qingtang took out a small spoon and handed it to Xiao Zijing: "Come on, Xiaoxiao, have a taste too."
Xiao Zijing took a big bite with tears in his eyes.
Yu Qingtang asked: "Is it sweet?"
Xiao Zijing nodded: "Sweet!"
The two of them looked around and picked a total of ten melons, excluding the one that was broken.
Yu Qingtang asked: "Here are ten melons. Let's divide them 40% and 60% respectively. I'll take 60% and you take 40%. Is that ok?"
Xiao Zijing nodded: "Okay!"
After distributing the watermelons, the two men took the broken watermelons and sat by the stream to continue eating them.
With his feet stepping in the cool stream water and eating sweet watermelon in his mouth, Yu Qingtang felt that his life was very comfortable.
Although she lived in a more developed and materially rich society in her previous life, she had never lived such a leisurely and comfortable life.
Yu Qingtang clasped his hands together and said devoutly: "Thank you, Jin Gua Gua, and thank you for the great world consciousness."
"Hehehe, you're welcome!"
Jin Guagua suddenly spoke up: "Host, work harder to eat melons, and you will have more leisurely days in the future."
Yu Qingtang pretended not to hear.
Why mention a job at this time?
After eating the watermelon, Xiao Zijing washed his hands and face in the stream. He only dug a hole in the middle of the watermelon and couldn't eat any more. He put it aside and prepared to take it back to share with everyone.
Yu Qingtang discussed with Xiao Zijing: "Xiaoxiao, I can't carry so many melons back by myself. I'll help you deliver your melons to the cowshed first, and then you can help me deliver my melons to the educated youth camp, okay?"
Of course Xiao Zijing would not refuse to help, so Yu Qingtang carried a watermelon in one arm and went to the stream.
Still need to find a bag or basket.
Yu Qingtang carried the watermelon and walked into the cowshed with Xiao Zijing.
Xiao Zijing pushed the door open and went in.
Behind him, Yu Qingtang met Huo Chao's eyes inside the door.
Huo Chao didn't expect to see people from the educated youth point here, and he felt a moment of panic, fearing that people would discover the relationship between him and his grandfather, which would result in him being unable to stay here any longer.
However, Huo Chao's grandfather Su Xuenong was not nervous. Instead, he greeted Yu Qingtang enthusiastically.
"It's Yu Zhiqing who's here."
"Hey, where did this watermelon come from?"
Grandpa Xiao came out of their small cubicle and saw the watermelon Yu Qingtang was holding, and walked up to him in surprise.
Yu Qingtang looked down and saw Xiao Zijing's round little head. He asked him to keep it a secret, but he didn't expect that he didn't even tell his grandfather who depended on him for everything.
She looked up and smiled at Grandpa Xiao, "We picked them by the creek. I'll get two more now."
As she said that, she put two watermelons at the door and turned to the west to get the remaining two watermelons.
Grandpa Xiao didn't have time to call him and could only look at her back and shake his head.
"Young people are always in a hurry to do things."
Then he turned around and said to Huo Chao: "Don't worry, Yu Zhiqing is a kind-hearted person and won't tell anyone."
Huo Chao was slightly relieved.
Su Xuenong walked up to pick up the watermelon on the ground and observed it carefully: "I have never seen this kind of watermelon before."
He taught plants in college, and even when he was sent to the cowshed, he did not stop researching crops.
When I suddenly saw this watermelon, I felt it was very novel.
Xiao Zijing ignored the matter between the adults, put away the dishes and turned around to meet his sister Yu.
"Grandpa Xiao, please lend me Xiaoxiao and the big basket."
"Hahaha, okay, I'll give them all to you."
Of course, this was a joke, and Yu Qingtang also agreed with a smile: "This is what you said, so I won't return it."
Yu Qingtang carried a big basket and took Xiao Zijing to the west to put the remaining six watermelons into the basket.
"Hey!"
Yu Qingtang lifted the basket with all his strength, but it didn't move at all.
Xiao Zijing held on to one side of the basket tightly with his two little hands. He tried very hard and clenched his teeth, but he still couldn't move it.
Yu Qingtang looked at the watermelons in the basket, feeling like crying but without tears.
She didn't want to make several trips back and forth to transport the watermelons back, as this would easily lead to them being discovered by others.
Yu Qingtang thought that she still had three gift cards, but she always felt it was a waste to use them in such a place.
Just as the two were staring at each other, a tall figure walked out of the cowshed and immediately saw the two people, one big and one small, by the stream.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, but not completely dark yet. Huo Chao could vaguely see what was in the basket.
He stood by the road and asked with a smile: "Do you need help?"
Yu Qingtang nodded.
At worst, you can give me a slice of watermelon as a reward. If one slice is less, you can just give me two. Be generous.
Feeling magnanimous, Yu Qingtang gladly accepted Huo Chao's help.
As soon as we got back to the educated youth site, we killed two watermelons and shared them among everyone.
Qin Qianqian, Dong Yue and Cheng Wuyang ate the watermelons without any questions, but Yu Qingxu and Ye Yunxiao's expressions became weirder and weirder as they ate.
Ye Yunxiao tried to hold back, but couldn't help asking her, "Did you really pick these in the mountains?"
Yu Qingtang had just eaten half of the watermelon and couldn't eat any more. He could only hold up his chin and watch everyone eat.
Hearing Ye Yunxiao's question, he looked at him with a puzzled look.
Ye Yunxiao: "Although this watermelon is not big, it is very sweet, and has few and large seeds, unlike the watermelons grown here."
He is a local and he knows best what the local watermelons look like.
Yu Qingtang: "Hmm... maybe the melon species is different?"
Ye Yunxiao: "Melon seeds? Did you plant these?"
Yu Qingtang: “…”
Don't talk about this kind of thing.
