Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 211 Two Hundred Children

Xu Yue first packed half of the watermelon and put it in the ice basin. She said she would keep it in her room, but in fact she immediately stuffed it into the small kitchen next to the space research room, and then took out half of it for Auntie when she returned to the academy tomorrow morning. It also keeps freshness for a day.

After finishing these, Xu Yue returned to the pavilion, broke open the other half of the watermelon, sliced ​​into small pieces, and called Ah Da, Ah Er, and Jun Mei who were still in the house to come and eat.

Before eating, I deliberately explained: "Be sure to spit out the seeds and put them in the basin, so that we can continue to eat them next year, do you understand?"

Everyone hurriedly responded, and under Xu Yue's demonstration, one of them picked up a slice of thinly sliced ​​watermelon and ate it.

Several people first took a small bite together, and then took a smaller bite. The juicy, sweet and refreshing watermelon taste was so delicious that people couldn't bear to swallow it.

It's not that Xu Yue is stingy, the watermelon is really not that big, and I have to leave some for Wang Dayou, Wang Youliang, Lu Meng and others to taste, let them know what they are trying to do, get everyone's support and understanding, so as to inspire them Everyone's enthusiasm for work can only be limited to one person.

Otherwise, it's not enough points at all!

Others Xu Yue didn't know that she could eat a big watermelon by herself.

As soon as the soft sweetness of the watermelon was in her mouth, Xu Yue's tears flowed out uncontrollably, woo woo woo, she finally ate a mouthful of the watermelon she had been longing for, it was really not easy!
It's just that there is only a small piece of such a delicious fruit, not to mention that Junmei and the others are reluctant to eat it, she herself can't wait to split one bite into two and savor it slowly.

A small piece of watermelon was eaten by several people in the pavilion for a quarter of an hour. When Xu Yue finished eating, the watermelon rind in Ada's second hand could not escape, and was chewed and swallowed by these two people.

Xu Yue couldn't stop it for a while, she could only look at their eyes with joy and say, "It's delicious!"

Junmei had to be more reserved, but she also gnawed the watermelon rind until only the outermost layer of the slightly hard green rind remained.

Everyone carefully spit out the watermelon seeds and put them carefully in the tub.

It was already dark, but Junmei's enthusiasm became more and more high, and she took the initiative to call the big guy, and took away the small piece that belonged to A Jian, saying that she was going to send it to A Jian.

As for whether she would steal a bite or two on the way, I don't know.

In short, Wang Dayou, Lu Meng and others who stayed in the village were conquered by this unprecedented delicacy in just one click.

They carefully spat out the seeds, patted their chests and told Xu Yue that a piece of soil would be specially reserved for her to serve this precious thing in the coming year, so that each of them could eat a large piece of it in the coming year.

Xu Yue was very satisfied with this, and told everyone that there would be surprises after another two months.

However, cotton is different from watermelon, it cannot be eaten, and Xu Yue carefully planted too little cotton to show everyone its benefits.

So when cotton was successfully launched, everyone's emotions were far less intense than that of watermelon.

However, Xu Yue was relieved by the success of two new things in succession, which showed that she could actually use a roundabout policy to achieve her desired goal.

It's like the sniper rifle in A Niang's hand. She just needs to make a wish with the apple tree to snatch it, but if she changes her mind, she can make a wish with the apple tree for some agricultural machinery, and then give it to A Niang to modify it.

It may be because they have calculated that they cannot generate electricity, and feel that these machines cannot be used in Daqing, so the management is not strict.

At the end of June, Xu Dalang, who had only been away for a month, finally came back half a month later than expected.

This time, most of those brought back were children, ranging from five or six years old to fifteen or sixteen years old. There were more than 200 of them.

The dormitory in the village has already been built, and these children will be able to live in a brand new house as soon as they arrive in Zhuangzi.

However, before moving in, they had to complete the sanitation inspection according to the village's rules.

The 12-year-old Naiwa took her younger sister, who was renamed Fubao, and followed the short-haired woman who looked like a manager in the village. Naiwa was not even sure if she was a woman.

He has never seen a woman with such short hair, nor has he seen such a man, and the other party is wearing a cloth mask that covers his face. He can only vaguely recognize the other party's high-pitched voice, which probably, should, It's a woman.

Ma Guifang, who had her hair cut by her son for two months, no longer needed to wrap it in a handkerchief. Her short hair at the ears looked clean and neat, and she looked capable.

It might just be summer. Looking at the envious eyes of other long-haired female workers in the textile factory, Ma Guifang suddenly felt that short hair is also pretty good, at least she is not so hot, and it is very convenient to wash her hair with warm water. Wipe it, then wipe it again with a handkerchief, and you're done.

She looked at the children who were brought back by Xu Dalang behind her, all of them were big-headed and small-bodied, all dressed in black, ragged, and most of them were naked.

Looking at these children, she felt as if she saw a year ago when she took the whole family to the north as refugees.

At that time, the boy in her family was also dressed in black, with his bare buttocks, crying weakly and hungry all day long, but in fact he didn't even have the strength to speak, he just moaned.

Thinking about the past, and looking at her son sitting in the school studying now, Ma Guifang feels unreal like dreaming.

But as soon as she saw the row of children behind her, reality instantly pulled her back from unreality.

It is true that no one can live outside, and it is true that the current comfort in Zhuangzi is true, and these poor dolls are also lucky.

Can be brought back by the young master, not to mention anything else, as long as he is willing to work, at least he will not starve to death.

They are all children without parents, without any support, they cringe unconsciously, and their big black and white eyes are full of uneasiness.

But after all, it is a child, the curiosity in his eyes cannot be stopped, but he dare not make too much movement, just secretly looking at everything strange around him.

The market is very lively every day, and there are many people coming and going, not only the gentry who come here from time to time to take a bath in the bathhouse here, and then go to the market noodle restaurant to eat bowls of noodles and fight teeth.

Many villagers also come to buy Xujia needles, Xujia clothes, Xujia bowls, Xujia tofu and other items.

With the flow of people, this small market gradually became lively, and the owner's business was well managed, and gradually it felt like a small town.

Of course, it can't compare with the real town, but this flow of people is more lively than many dilapidated old counties.

At the beginning, everyone felt that the Xu family had many rules, that they had to be checked and disinfected at the entrance, and that they had to spend a fee to take a bath.

But when you think about it, you don’t need to pay city fees to do business here, and you only get a very small commission according to the category. Some items are small, and even don’t charge. Gradually, everyone likes to come here to do business.

As for things like bathing and checking, I'm actually used to it. Sometimes I have nothing to do, and I can't help but want to come to the Xujiazhuang bathhouse to take a hot bath.
