Break open the watermelon, and the fragrance of the pulp inside penetrates your nose.

Qin Yao couldn't remember the last time she ate melon. It seemed to be a very distant memory.

But the familiar sweet aroma burst out and immediately aroused the greed in her body.

Not bothering to answer Liu Dafu's question "Why is the melon in your hand so red?" Qin Yao aimed at the half melon in her hand and took a big bite.

The entrance is full of crispy texture, juicy and very sweet. After one swallow, the heat will disappear instantly!

Qin Yao took two big mouthfuls one after another, feeling that the dryness in her throat had been relieved to the greatest extent. Then she spit out the watermelon seeds in her mouth, let out a comfortable sigh, and handed the other half to Liu Dafu.

"Try it, it's sweet and crunchy, so delicious that you can swallow it with your tongue!"

Qin Yao's words were not exaggerated in the slightest. She did not expect that the quality of the melon seeds was so good. She originally thought that she would grow watermelons that were neither red nor sweet, but she did not expect that the fruit would be small, but the color and taste would be so good.

Seeing Liu Dafu hesitantly taking the watermelon and preparing to eat it, Qin Yao quickly reminded: "Don't swallow the black seeds, remember to spit them out."

Liu Dafu nodded to express his understanding. When the watermelon was put in his hand, the unique sweetness and refreshingness hit his nostrils. He knew that this must be a delicious fruit.

After a brief sip, his eyes widened instantly and he looked at Qin Yao in surprise.

Qin Yao smiled and asked while eating watermelon: "How is it? Is it delicious?"

Liu Dafu nodded wildly. He came to Qin Yao to discuss the payment for road construction at noon. He was sweating profusely due to the scorching sun above his head. Now he took a bite of the sweet and juicy watermelon and felt refreshed.

At the right time, a breeze blew from the river, and the two retreated to the weeds on the edge of the field. Taking advantage of the coolness under the grass, they ate watermelon while enjoying the wind. They lived a very happy life.

Liu Dafu ate half of the melon by himself and kept the remaining skin because he had just tasted it and the skin was crispy and sweet.

Qin Yao suggested that he take it back, peel off the hardest skin on the outside, slice it into slices and eat it with vegetables. "It's also delicious."

"Can the skin be eaten as a vegetable?" Liu Dafu was surprised. He looked at the melon skin in his hand and the large and small watermelons in the field. He wanted to ask Qin Yao for one and take it home to explain to his family. Relieve heat.

Qin Yao stretched out two fingers: "Two hundred coins each. For the sake of our friendship, I treated this half as a free taste for you."

Hearing this, Liu Dafu almost couldn't help but call her a profiteer.

"You're not that big. Isn't two hundred coins a bit too expensive?" Liu Dafu smiled at Qin Yao, our close friend, "Less, I'll take two of them home."

One will be shared with the family, and the other will be sent to the city by the boss early tomorrow morning.

The second child is studying and working hard. The weather is so hot, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to endure. It's just a sweet treat for him to relieve the heat.

Qin Yao waved her hand and refused to lose a penny.

"It's only two hundred coins each. Our first order is today. Buy one, get one free. Do you want it?"

If you buy one get one free, that’s still acceptable!

Liu Dafu rolled up his sleeves with a smile, "I'll choose them myself. I'll choose the two biggest ones!"

Qin Yao funnyly reminded: "The big one may not be the sweetest, but if you get one that is not sweet, I will give you another one."

Qin Yao thought to herself, there is no businessman more conscientious than me.

When Liu Dafu heard this, he laughed and ran to the melon field. He chose the two that he thought were the biggest and sweetest, held one in each hand, and headed home happily.

Before leaving, Qin Yao asked Qin Yao to send a child to her house in the afternoon to take the money and send her the wages she had paid in advance.

Qin Yao agreed, turned around, counted all the melons in the field, and picked two more good ones to take home.

"Golden Flower!"

Seeing a group of children playing by the river, Qin Yao shouted.

Jin Hua suddenly became excited. Half of her feet had been put into the river water. She quickly retracted her feet. She raised her head and looked towards the place where the sound came from. She smiled when she saw it was her third aunt.

"Come here!" Qin Yao shouted again, unable to refuse at all.

Jinhua was still a little scared, so she immediately left her friends and ran over obediently.

Qin Yao sent the village children away from the river again, signaling the guilty Jin Hua to follow her.

"Third Aunt, I didn't secretly go down to the river to take a bath." Jinhua explained in an 'honest' manner.

Qin Yao warned again: "You are not allowed to go to the river alone to play in the water, remember?"

Jin Hua nodded. The little girl glanced at the watermelon in Qin Yao's hand and asked curiously: "Third Aunt, is this the watermelon you planted in the ground?"

Siniang told her that this watermelon was delicious, but it looked strange and she didn’t know what it tasted like.

Qin Yao nodded, "I'll cut the melon in a while and you can take it home."

"Okay!" The little girl licked the corner of her mouth, looking greedy. She stood up on tiptoes and sniffed the watermelon. She frowned with an expression of disgust, "It doesn't smell like fruit at all."

If Qin Yao hadn't been free, she would have pinched the wrinkled little nose.

He smiled mysteriously and said, "When I open its skin, the aroma will make your mouth water."

Jinhua immediately showed an expectant look, and Baba followed Qin Yao into the yard.

"Awang, get a bucket of cold water and put this watermelon in it to cool down." Qin Yao instructed.

Awang immediately put down the hoe, washed his hands, took the watermelon from Qin Yao's hand, put it in a wooden bucket, filled the bucket with cold water, and then placed the bucket in the shade of the eaves.

After finishing, he turned around and picked up the hoe again, and was busy planting green onions, ginger and garlic seedlings from Sister-in-law Zhou's house on the vegetable bed left in the yard.

Jinhua stood by the barrel and waited. From time to time, she stretched out her hand to poke the floating watermelon. She didn't play with the water by the river, but played with the water in the barrel, making everyone laugh.

Qin Yao got cold water and went into the house to wipe her body. She changed into a cool hemp skirt and cleaned herself up. The heat in the water also dissipated.

Waving her hand to signal Jinhua to give way, Qin Yao took out a watermelon, wiped off the water stains, placed it on the chopping board, picked up the cleaned kitchen knife, and stabbed it lightly.

A perfectly ripe watermelon will split into two halves, revealing the light red flesh inside.

It seemed that not every melon was beautifully red, but when Qin Yao tasted the watermelon meat on the knife surface, it was still very sweet.

The aroma of watermelon filled the entire kitchen, and Jinhua shouted impatiently: "Third Aunt, give me a taste, give me a taste."

"Okay, let me try it for you!" Qin Yao cut off a piece and handed it to her, reminding her to spit out the seeds and not swallow them together.

"If you eat the seeds, they will take root and sprout in your stomach." Qin Yao scared the child.

Jinhua's eyes widened in horror. She had just taken a bite of the melon and had already swallowed it all!

"I'm just kidding you." Qin Yao laughed out loud.

The panic on Jin Hua's face instantly turned into helplessness like a little adult, the third aunt is really bad~

After eating the watermelon in mouthfuls, the light red watermelon juice flowed between the fingers, and the little face turned into a tabby cat.

Qin Yao was about to say be careful with her clothes, but before she could say anything, she saw that her floral skirt was already wet. (End of chapter)
