Changshui Village Farming Notes

Chapter 28 Watermelon
"Jianping, where did you find such a big watermelon?" Lin Shuhua asked curiously when he saw Gu Jianping coming.

Gu Jianping put the big watermelon under the pressurized well in the yard, washed the watermelon with water, washed off the mud on it, and then answered Lin Shuhua's question, "I picked it in our field, you forgot, Didn’t we plant a few watermelon seedlings back then, and I picked them there.”

Listening to what he said, Lin Shuhua also remembered, and said with a smile, "Hey, it's there. I haven't taken care of it for so long. I thought it was over this year. I didn't know that I've grown up so much."

"Isn't it? I didn't expect that when I went to the field to weed the weeds today, I saw several over there. I picked the biggest one back. Hehe, let's quench our thirst." The kitchen took a kitchen knife and cut the watermelon.

With just one cut, the watermelon split open by itself.

In an instant, a refreshing and sweet watermelon fragrance wafted out.

Gu Jianping saw it, and laughed, "It seems that our watermelon is fully ripe, the water head is good, and the flesh is very red."

The watermelon at home is really good. The skin of the watermelon is very thin, and the flesh inside is also very red. The black watermelon seeds dotted in the flesh are very attractive.

Seeing the bright red flesh, Gu Kuangyun's mouth watered.

They couldn't finish eating such a big watermelon in a short while, so they saved half of it and put it in the refrigerator. They cut the other half of the watermelon into several large pieces, put it in a basin, and handed it to Lin Shuhua and Gu Kuangyun.

As soon as the watermelon was in the mouth, Gu Kuangyun couldn't help but squinted his eyes and gave his father a thumbs up.

This watermelon is really sweet, with a crunchy and refreshing taste, and no sour taste. The strong watermelon fragrance lingers in your nose. It is simply refreshing to eat a bite of this watermelon in this summer.

It is estimated that it tastes better after it has cooled down, so she took a few more bites, which made people unable to stop.

Gu Jianping was also very happy when he saw that his daughter loved to eat.

In the past at this time, her daughters were all in the capital, and she had no chance to taste the watermelon grown at home. He was very happy that her daughter could eat it this time.

Gu Jianping took a bite of the watermelon in his hand and sighed, "It's so sweet, this year's melons are growing really well."

After eating the watermelon, Gu Kuangyun washed his hands, looked at the sun, and thought that it was almost time, so he wanted to go to the orchard.

Her father asked her where she was going, but she just said that she hadn't been home for a long time and wanted to go around.

Gu Jianping thought that it would be good for his daughter to go out and communicate with people more, so he didn't say anything, and continued to weed the fields.

Out of her yard, there is a path beside the house leading to the orchard.

After walking for about 20 minutes, I turned over a mountain pass and walked in for a few minutes, and I could see a lychee forest at the foot of the mountain from a distance.

This orchard is very large, with a depression in the middle, connecting the foot of several surrounding mountains, half of which is flat and half of which is slope.

At this time, there are thousands of lychee trees scattered on this land, densely packed, which looks very spectacular.

I think it was because many lychee seedlings got sick at the beginning. This lychee grove does not look so neat from a distance. There are patches in the east and west.

It wasn't until she walked in that she could see clearly that the lychee trees here were all bearing fruit, but they were not yet ripe, and the lychee skins were still green.

She looked around the orchard, although the lychees in this garden were not very good, but the boss took good care of the environment, planted thorn trees around the orchard, to prevent some small animals and naughty children from the village from coming to the orchard make trouble.
