The land of Li Xiaomin's house is next to that of Li Shu's house. He has just laid the water belt, and he is just patrolling along the direction of the water belt again to see if there are any omissions.
Seeing Li Shu leading his sister, the big orange cat and the big yellow dog towards his cornfield, Li Xiaomin also turned around and walked towards his cornfield.
Because the cornfields of the two families were next to each other, he, Li Shu and others stopped by.
"Xiaoshu, you have a smoke and try it. Even though Liqun costs 5 yuan a pack, it's not much different than those cigarettes that cost 20 yuan a pack." Li Xiaomin followed behind with a shovel on his shoulder.
The bright moonlight shone on him, casting shadows on the dirt road between the fields.
The flame of the cigarette was so obvious, it was like a small lamp.
He is actually quite timid. He is surrounded by cornfields that are taller than people. He is very afraid that someone will suddenly jump out of them. After all, there is no village in front of him or a store in the back. His wife ran away with someone again, and she left. I'm afraid no one would help him call the police if something happened.
"I don't smoke." Li Shu said with a smile: "Don't you go to the river to open the machine?".
"No need. My eldest nephew is by the river. He can just come and operate the machine."
Li Shu nodded, and he said to Jing Laodao: "Go, go to the river and open the machine."
"Okay, boss."
Jinglao Dalian ran away, and his figure quickly disappeared into the night.
soon.
Li Shu's cell phone buzzed. It was a call from Boss Jing. After he answered the call, he said to the other side: "Boss, the diesel engine has started and the river water has flowed along the belt."
Huhuhu~
There was a sound in the distance, and the deflated ribbon-shaped plastic pipe was held up by the water flow. The water flow moved forward at an extremely fast speed and quickly reached the end of the field. Wow! The raging river water spurted out from behind the pipe and spread instantly in the dry corn field. .
For a moment, there was a feeling of miniature water flooding the golden mountain.
"Woof woof~".
The big yellow dog was very happy to see the river water flowing into the field. It jumped up and down and wanted to run into the field, but the plum tree grabbed it by the collar.
Li Shu tapped its black nose with her finger and warned: "You silly dog, if you dare to go play in the mud in the field, you will have no food tomorrow!"
"Woof~" The big yellow dog looked at Li Shu pitifully. After thinking about it, he still felt that eating was important, and then jumped to the side to pounce on the big orange cat.
"Meow!!".
Swish, brush, brush~
The big orange cat pursed its ears and punched the air with its furry little paws. Although a set of cat punches didn't hit the big yellow dog, it scared the latter away.
At this time.
There was a sound of corn leaves being stirred in the field, and grandpa walked out. His short sleeves were slightly moist from the sultry environment in the field.
He smiled and said: "There is a big watermelon in the field! Take a look and see if it's ripe!"
"Big watermelon!" The little girl suddenly shouted in surprise, her jewel-like eyes shining brightly.
"Let's go and have a look." Li Shu was also very curious, so he took the little girl into the corn field and said, "There are no watermelons planted in the corn field, how come watermelons grow there?"
Swish, swish, swish~
Li Shu, the little girl, the big yellow dog, and the big orange cat got into the cornfield. Grandpa said a few words to Li Xiaomin, and then followed.
Li Xiaomin just called his nephew who was by the river, and his fields began to be watered with river water.
Several people walked dozens of meters into the field and almost reached the opposite road. Finally, under the beam of flashlight, they saw a watermelon seedling in the field.
The watermelon vines climbed 5 to 6 meters long. The huge watermelon leaves were watery and sparkling. A big watermelon grew on the vines.
"It's really a big watermelon!" the little girl shouted in surprise. She walked over quickly, but the big orange cat was faster. After running over, she patted the big watermelon with her furry little paws.
"Meow meow meow~".
Is this big watermelon ripe? And why there is a solitary watermelon seedling, so strange.
"Woof woof~".
The big yellow dog also ran over quickly and smelled the big watermelon, which had a very light and unique fragrance. Let me try the rhubarb first. What if it is poisonous? It's time for me to dedicate myself to this family!
The big yellow dog opened its mouth wide and was about to bite the big watermelon.
"Big silly dog, shut up!" Li Shu flew up with a kick. The big yellow dog nimbly dodged Li Shu's kick, and then ran to the side wagging its tail in a mean manner.
"Hiss~ It's really strange!" Li Xiaomin held a cigarette in his mouth, took a long puff and blew out a smoke ring: "Pick it and see if it's ripe! If it's ripe again, that would be great!" .
Since the land in the cornfield was very dry, it would take an hour for the water to reach where Li Shu and others were standing. They had enough time to move around in the cornfield.
"Brother, do you want to pick it?" The little girl squatted down and touched the flower-skin watermelon, then turned back to ask Li Shu.
"Pick it."
"good!".
The little girl grabbed the watermelon stem hard and pulled the big watermelon down. The big round watermelon weighed 7 to 8 pounds. The little girl couldn't hold it, so Li Shu bent down and picked it up.
"Let's go. It's hotter in this cornfield than in the woods. Let's go out and talk." Li Shu said with a smile.
There were many big watermelons in the Neverland Herb Garden, and Plum Tree naturally had no shortage of watermelons to eat, but picking up a big watermelon for nothing in the cornfield was like picking up money while walking, which still made him feel happy.
A few people came outside the cornfield, and Boss Jing also came back and said with a smile: "Hey, why is there a big watermelon?"
"Grows in the cornfield." The little girl replied.
"Why do watermelons grow in cornfields? Are they planted?" Boss Jing said casually in confusion.
"It's not a farmer, it's probably a passerby who ate watermelon and happened to want to use the toilet when passing by the cornfield."
"Open it quickly and take a look." Li Xiaomin urged.
"Don't worry." Li Shu made a fist with his right hand, brushed it and gently hit it on the watermelon. A 2 cm wide crack instantly appeared in the watermelon. Under the illumination of the flashlight, the red flesh of the melon came into view.
“Oh, it’s red!!”.
“It seems that it’s pretty good if you’re familiar with it!”.
"Although the sun is blocked by the stick, it is obvious that this watermelon is very sensible and is cooked like a real chicken!" Li Xiaomin took another puff of cigarette.
Kakakka~
Li Shu broke the watermelon into pieces with his bare hands and distributed them to everyone. He kept a piece of watermelon with a large "core" for himself. When he took a bite, the sweet and delicious taste exploded in his mouth.
"tasty!".
“So sweet!“.
“It tastes so good!“.
Part of the process of watering the ground has been completed, and we just need to wait for the river water to flow to the other side of the field.
Everyone sat on the ground and ate watermelon while looking at the moon. The sound of crickets flapping their wings in the grass added a quiet atmosphere to this summer night.
… …
after an hour.
The river was about to reach the end of the field, so Boss Jing ran to turn off the machine, while Li Xiaomin called his nephew by the river: "Tips, you can turn off the machine!"
"Okay, uncle." Li Zhao said from the opposite side. He yawned: "Uncle, you can clean up yourself. I'll go back to sleep first."
"Ah, okay...you go slower on the road."
"Okay, uncle, be careful when you return to the village later and don't fall into the ditch."
Li Xiaomin: “… “.
