Chapter 145: This Little Matter

"Chunmei! Chunmei!" Aunt Chunmei's courtyard door was closed, Liu Guixia shouted twice, and Aunt Chunmei's answer came from inside.

"Is it Guixia? Here, here." Aunt Chunmei hurriedly opened the door.

"Auntie." Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both called out politely.

"Xiaoyan and Yuebao are here too, come in, come in quickly." Aunt Chunmei greeted warmly.

"No need." Liu Guixia smiled, "I just want to ask you something, we'll go back after that, it's getting dark today, you have to go to town to sell vegetables with your boss before dawn tomorrow, you have to get there early. sleep."

"What's the matter?" They were all neighbors, and they had a good relationship, so Aunt Chunmei was really rude.

"I want you to buy some watermelon seedlings for our family in the town tomorrow." After speaking, Liu Guixia looked at Xue Yan.

Xue Yan then took over the words: "Auntie, Yuebao and I want to grow watermelons, and there are still watermelon seedlings for sale in the town, so I thought of you to buy some for us."

Aunt Chunmei: "It's a small matter, okay. How much do you buy?"

Jiang Yue: "Five hundred and forty plants."

"So many!" Aunt Chunmei was taken aback. "Do you want to plant it on that wasteland? I heard that your family bought five acres of wasteland today."

"Yeah." Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded.

"That's good, I haven't seen anyone who has planted watermelons in this ten-mile-eight village. Maybe they can really get some harvest. However, it takes a lot of money to buy so many seedlings." Aunt Chunmei said.

Xue Yan took out the two hundred pennies that Liu Guixia had just given, "That's troublesome auntie."

Aunt Chunmei looked at the money in Xue Yan's little hand, and at Liu Guixia, who was just laughing and letting the child take the lead, she smiled, "It's alright, I see, it's also your family. If I spoil you, then I will take the money first, and if there is any left, I will come back and give it to you."

"Thank you Auntie." Xue Yan and Jiang Yue both thanked.

Aunt Chunmei smiled at Liu Guixia and said, "Your children are really polite, unlike my children, they are not sensible at all. Last time, they were arguing about eating dried beans, but the family ate them all, and this year's new beans have not grown yet. , where can I get it, fortunately your family has it and gave us two bowls."

"Just two bowls of dried beans are nothing, then I will trouble you about this." Liu Guixia smiled.

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely buy it for you tomorrow." Aunt Chunmei also laughed.

Since Aunt Chunmei came back, Jiang Yue washed and fell asleep.

The next day, after breakfast, Xue Yihu and Xue Erhu accompanied their daughters-in-law back to their parents' homes with meat and tofu.

A lot of grass grew in the peanut field and sesame field. Xue Dafu and the others took their hoes to weed, and by the way, put some composted manure on the two fields.

Peanut He and Sesame He are too thin.

Sorghum, corn, and cotton grow surprisingly well. They are usually taken care of in the same way, except for Jiang Yue and Xue Yan who have pulled the grass. Therefore, Xue Dafu and the others all feel that they will have to take care of them earlier in the future. Weeding, more diligent care, the crops will grow better.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were also hoeing the grass, but they were hoeing the grass in the two acres of wasteland bought from the village chief. Fortunately, the grass was not deep, and it was not difficult to remove.

However, in order not to let Xue Dafu and the others realize that something was wrong, Jiang Yue only hoeed a little like a child.

Xue Yan's physical strength was just like that. Even if he used all his strength, it was very hard. After tossing for a whole morning, he only hoeed a little.

Before it was noon, Aunt Chunmei returned from selling vegetables in the town. She also bought watermelon seedlings in a large basket. The rest of the money was also given to Xue Yan.
