Sturdy farm cannon fodder daughter-in-law

Chapter 222 Picking Watermelon

Feng Lanhua's words really stunned Li Hong for a moment, she froze for a long time, then turned around and walked to the school unwillingly.

Seeing the back of Li Hong leaving, Feng Lanhua shook her head helplessly.It's really bad luck for her to have such a sister-in-law at the booth.

"Sister Lanhua, are you okay?"

Seeing that Li Hong and Dou Zi had left, Huo Jun leaned over on crutches and looked at Feng Lanhua's face with some concern.

Feng Lanhua shook her head: "It's okay, this stinky girl can't be taught, otherwise she will cause a big disaster sooner or later. Dajun, you too, stay away from them in the future, and people have to live down-to-earth. Shame."

Huo Jun nodded seriously: "I see, Sister Lanhua. Let's go back now?"

Feng Lanhua sighed and nodded: "Let's go."

Feng Lanhua and Huo Jun walked in the opposite direction, so the two of them didn't notice Li Hong who had gone far away, but now they looked at Feng Lanhua's back with resentment in their eyes.

Li Hong recognized Huo Jun, she saw Feng Lanhua and Huo Jun together, they looked so close, she felt so jealous that she was going crazy!She likes Huo Jun so much, but Huo Jun doesn't like her.It's fine if you don't like her, how could Huo Jun hook up with Feng Lanhua, whom she hates the most?This is simply an insult to her, Li Hong!

Looking at the backs of these two people, Li Hong clenched her fists tightly.Feng Lanhua, this time, I will never let you go!I must make you look good!
Feng Lanhua stayed with Huo Jun for another afternoon, helped them tidy up the house, and bought some leek seedlings for them to plant. This dilapidated house finally felt like home.

"Da Jun'er, the business in Sister Lanhua's store is busy, and I may not be able to visit you for a while. You take good care of yourself and your younger brother, understand? When you have time, you can bring Da Wen'er to the town Play, Sister Lanhua will make delicious food for you."

Seeing that Feng Lanhua was leaving, Huo Jun was actually a little bit reluctant.These two days are the happiest two days in his life.The warmth that Feng Lanhua brought him was even better than the memories his mother left him when he was young.

"It's okay, Sister Lanhua. I will take good care of myself and Da Wen'er, don't worry. I will definitely visit you when I have time. I will also learn the craft hard with my master. When I make money, I will also give it to you." You buy roast chicken to eat."

Huo Jun was so sensible that Feng Lanhua smiled heartily.She nodded: "Okay, Sister Lanhua is waiting for you to buy me roast chicken. Here is 20 yuan, you take it first. Don't make a decision, how can you live without some money by your side? In the future, you earn money. Just return Sister Lanhua slowly, do you understand?"

Now Huo Jun has no way to refuse Feng Lanhua's kindness.He took the money and held it tightly in his hand, his nose was a little red: "Sister Lanhua, go slowly."

Feng Lanhua nodded with a smile, and left in the twilight.And Huo Jun looked at Feng Lanhua's back, and wiped away the tears that were about to overflow.

Feng Lanhua finally returned to the town. When she passed the supply and marketing cooperative, she turned in to look at her plaque.

After two days, the plaque has taken shape, and Brother Wang is sanding the frizzy places with sandpaper.

"Sister Lanhua, I'll polish the plaque today, spray paint it tomorrow, and hang it on the door after it dries."

Feng Lanhua looked at the plaque with joy, Chaoyang made clothes, and when Li Daguo came back and saw these words, he didn't know what kind of expression he would have.

"That's great, thank you, Brother Wang. I didn't expect you to be so good at carpentry. My sister-in-law is really blessed."

Sister-in-law Wang covered her mouth and smiled: "Lanhua, please don't praise him. He can't help but praise him. If he praises him, he will turn his tail up. By the way, when will your shop reopen? Has it been decided yet? "

Feng Lanhua thought for a while: "When the plaque is ready and hung up, I will invite the dragon and lion dance team to prepare for two days. If you come in a hurry, I will rush to open on August [-]th."

Sister-in-law Wang nodded: "That's fine, if you need my sister-in-law to tell you something, you can just ask, you're welcome, you know?"

Feng Lanhua nodded with a smile: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm not being polite to you."

When Feng Lanhua came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, he met a fruit seller on the side of the road, so he thought about buying a watermelon to go back to relieve everyone from the heat.While picking watermelons, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes suddenly stood beside Feng Lanhua.He also seemed to be here to buy watermelons.

"How do you choose this watermelon?"

The man asked, and seeing that there were no other buyers around, Feng Lanhua knew that he might be asking herself, so she answered, "This gentleman certainly doesn't often buy fruits. You can delay this melon and feel it."

Feng Lanhua enthusiastically handed the melon she had just picked to the man, and motioned him to lift the melon up and down: "If there are two watermelons of the same size, the ripe one will be lighter. And put the ripe melon in The water will float, but the raw melon will sink. Just tap it with your knuckles and hear it."

Hearing this, the man tapped the watermelon rind with his knuckles, and leaned over to listen.

"A melon that makes such a 'popping sound' is ripe. If the sound is crisper than this, it is underripe. If the sound is duller, it is overripe. And the skin of this melon is smooth. A watermelon with clear lines, obvious lines, and a well-proportioned body will taste better, while a watermelon with a pointed head and crooked brain will definitely not taste good. In fact, it is quite simple to pick."

After hearing what Feng Lanhua said, the man laughed: "I didn't expect that there are so many details about picking melons."

Feng Lanhua also laughed: "Actually, it's nothing. Country people know these little tricks in their lives. If you like melons, sir, you can choose them like this in the future."

The man nodded and pointed to the melon that Feng Lanhua gave him: "Then girl, can you give me the melon you picked?"

Feng Lanhua was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Of course it's okay. But sir, don't you want to pick a melon and try it yourself? In fact, these little things are very interesting. The sound of each melon is different, so it's okay to try it. .”

After listening to Feng Lanhua's words, the man smiled and nodded: "Okay, how about I pick a melon, teacher, can you help me check my study results?"

Being called a teacher by such an elder, Feng Lanhua blushed: "Sir, you are really joking, what kind of teacher am I? Don't laugh at me. If you don't want to pick, just take the melon I picked. that is."

The man smiled and waved his hands: "You can't say that. Threesomes must have my teacher. You see, I am a layman when it comes to picking watermelons, but you are an expert. It is not too much for me to call you a teacher."
