Chapter 42: Sweet and Cheap Watermelon

The people who were joining in the fun outside were jealous when they saw the arrival of the Shi family because of the arrival of their granddaughter Gu Qingming.

I don’t know how much things I bought and how much money I spent here must be gifts that are difficult for farmers like them to afford.

Knowing that Gu Qingming was coming today, the old man and the young man also came over.

The three families gathered in the yard and living room of my uncle's house. The spacious place suddenly became crowded and lively.

After Gu Qingming met the elders of the three families one by one, a slightly fat woman in a floral skirt came over with a plate of cut watermelon. She looked at Gu Qingming and smiled and said, "Oh, who is this girl? She looks so handsome."

Two young women followed her, listening to her mother-in-law's words, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled.

Gu Qingming looked at the familiar and unfamiliar woman and smiled and said hello, "Auntie!"

The aunt's face turned a little dissatisfied, and she said with a little dissatisfaction, "Tsk tsk, you know that I am your aunt. If you don't call me, I think you have forgotten me, the aunt. Otherwise, why wouldn't you come to see my aunt for so many years?"

Gu Qingming immediately stepped forward and took his aunt's arm, and said embarrassedly, "How dare I forget my aunt? My aunt loves me, I remember it in my heart."

The eldest aunt glanced at her and said angrily, "You little girl, don't love you in vain!"

Gu Qingming put down his eldest aunt's arm, and then greeted his second and third aunts one by one.

Finally, she looked at her three aunts and smiled, "Auntie, second aunt, third aunt, haven't seen each other for a few years, and you are getting younger and younger."

Gu Qingming is telling the truth.

The three of them looked younger than before, their skin was whiter than before, and they were also better at dressing up than before, such as doing hair, applying lipstick, etc.

This person, as long as he dresses up, he will become beautiful before.

Speaking of the reason, of course, it is because the life at home is getting better and better.

The house is built and the car is available. The son has married his wife, the one who goes to college, and the son who has not yet married his wife also has a partner.

The son and daughter-in-law are filial and the grandson is lively and cute.

If you are less tired and less worried, your mentality will become younger. If you are young, your whole person will look young.

Any woman likes to hear beautiful words like others saying that she is younger and more beautiful.

So are the three aunts.

My aunt smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for three years, Ming'er's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter."

"Auntie, what I told the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask your grandparents." Gu Qingming said with a smile.

"Haha, Nannan is not wrong. Your sister-in-law are indeed getting younger and younger." The grandfather said this. "Look at you, people in their forties and fifties, are only in their early forties. Go out and say that you have a few grandsons who are about to graduate from elementary school, and others don't believe it."

In rural areas, many people get married early, get married at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and by the time they are thirty-seven or eighteen, they have become grandparents.

However, with the development of transportation and communication, more and more young people going out to work, and more and more knowledge has increased, which has led to the late marriage of young people.

There are fewer and fewer people who are grandparents in their thirties and forties. If they are, they will be nicknamed as young grandmothers.

Gu Qingming’s three aunts now look like young grandma.

My aunt picked up a piece of watermelon for Gu Qingming and said, "You're tired all the way. Come and eat a piece of watermelon first. This watermelon is grown by us. It's sweet and sandy, so delicious."

Gu Qingming was a little at a loss when he held the watermelon.

She checked online and found that pregnant women cannot eat watermelon.

She was careful and careful when dealing with the child in her belly.

She can't tolerate the tragic situation of losing her child now.

Grandma first noticed Gu Qingming's expression, and asked with concern, "Nannan, what's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Gu Qingming looked at the people around here and then lowered his head and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, can pregnant people eat watermelon?"

Grandma immediately understood Gu Qingming's concerns, and she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Nannan, we all know that you are pregnant, and we will pay special attention to your diet. This pregnant woman is not that she cannot eat watermelon, but that she cannot eat more. You can still eat this piece of watermelon."

Gu Qingming's fair face couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Although my grandmother and aunt care so much, how could she let her eat food that she could not eat?

She was too careful.

My aunt looked at the watermelon in the basin and smiled, "This watermelon is the best to be frozen in the well. But you can't eat ice watermelon now."

Gu Qingming took a light bite and his eyes lit up.

This watermelon is really delicious. Just as my aunt said, this watermelon is sweet and sandy, with a lot of juice. If you bite it, the taste will fill the entire mouth, making it delicious and comfortable.

"It's delicious, so sweet!" Gu Qingming praised sincerely and gave a thumbs up.

Grandpa smiled and said, "This watermelon is sweet. This is the watermelon grown by our home. It has never been used for pesticides or any saccharin. We use it all as farm fertilizer and peanut residue. Everyone who has eaten our watermelon is delicious."

"So, even if the watermelons in our house are sold more expensive than others, many bosses are rushing to ask for them." Shi Yuxin said with a smile, "Cousin, if you like to eat them, I will pick them for you every day."

As soon as he finished speaking, his uncle slapped the head in the head and said angrily, "Does your sister want to eat, or do you want to eat it yourself? Your sister can't eat more watermelon now."

"Ha?" Shiyu was stupid, "Why?"

As soon as he said this, he caught my aunt's head, "There is no reason. If you can't eat too much, you can't eat too much. You stupid boy. You will know after getting married."

"Oh!" Shi Yuxin touched the place where his parents were photographed and responded inexplicably.

He really doesn't understand why his cousin can't eat more watermelons.

Such a sweet watermelon, it’s a pity that you can’t eat too much.

After hearing what his fourth cousin said, Gu Qingming was a little confused, "Selling? Grandma, have our family grown a lot of watermelons?"

Grandma nodded and said, "Well, your eldest uncle has planted ten acres, your second uncle has planted twelve acres, and the third uncle has planted less, and five acres of land."

Although Gu Qingming, a city kid, doesn’t understand how many watermelons there are in acre of land, she knows the area.

After listening to grandma's words, he said with surprise, "Have you planted so many?"

"Our family is not very much." Shi Yuxin said excitedly, "That Dachun family has only grown a lot, and has planted thirty acres of watermelon."

Gu Qingming was shocked again.

She asked with a little curiosity, "After growing so many, how can this watermelon be sold?"

The uncle said, "It depends on the weather. It is hot and there is no rain, so it will be sold at a higher price, eight or nine cents, more than one yuan, and it is cool and it keeps raining, and the price will drop to four or five cents. One year, the price even fell to one or two cents, but it was not as good as the boss, so it could only rot in the ground."

Gu Qingming stared at his eyes and said incredibly, "So cheap?"
