The good news spread quickly in the sweet potato fields.

The entire Taoxi Village was filled with joy and excitement.

The villagers originally thought that this was a joy beyond heaven, but they didn't expect that there would be a second wave of surprises waiting for them.

Most of the watermelons in Taoxi Village are planted in the mountains, concentrated on the hillsides behind the village.

Picking melons is a delicate job, and you have to pick and handle them gently, and you have to work hard to move the melons in the middle, so all the adults in the watermelon fields are working in the watermelon fields, and the children are basically not brought.

I'm afraid that the children's hands and feet will accidentally knock the melon and crack it.

That is a melon that can sell for fifty cents, and no one is willing to waste it.

After a whole morning of work, the old men sat on the edge of the ground to rest for a while when they were tired, and did not go home. After resting, they continued to work. As for the lunch, the women at home brought it.

This saves time and makes more work.

"I've seen that this year's watermelons are growing pretty well. Most of the watermelons in my hand are two to three catties each, and the melon patterns are also beautiful. After working hard for a long time, I haven't seen a single one with crooked buttocks."

The old village chief sat with a few old brothers, smoking dry tobacco, the wrinkles on his old face stretched.

"I said that I picked melons all morning, and I always thought it was weird! In the past, there were at least dozens of melons with crooked buttocks in an acre of land, but I didn't see any of them this morning!" The old man next to him clapped his hands, and suddenly realized .

There is also humanity, "Did you find out that this time the melons have uniform and clear patterns, and the color is not the same as in previous years. The melons are green and transparent, and they look like jade!"

"What kind of jade? It's called emerald, green emerald!"

"Aren't jade and emerald the same thing? Hey, why are you serious with me? What I want to say is that this year's melons look good! Beautiful!"

The old village chief was overjoyed, "What's there to argue about? Anyway, it's a good thing. The sweet potatoes have a bumper harvest, and we can't miss the watermelon!"

The old man next to him said, "Look at what you said, you grow it yourself, why do you win or lose a fight between sweet potatoes and watermelons?"

The entire hillside suddenly burst into laughter, and it floated far away.

In the watermelon field in the middle of the hillside, the young girl with braids smiled and said, "The melon looks good, but I don't know how it tastes. Dad, why don't we open one and try it? I've been working for a long time and I'm thirsty." "

This is Chen Jian and his daughter Taohua.

Chen Jianhe was picking up watermelons in the basket, when he heard the words, he cursed, "You're just greedy."

Paused, "Open two, give the old village chief and your uncles a taste."

"Okay!"

Tao Hua responded, took off the pocket knife from the waistband of her trousers, scooped up a watermelon and opened it directly.

With a light swipe of the knife, the watermelon split easily, and with a crackling sound, a craving sweet fragrance wafted out of the crack.

When the watermelon is cut open, the melon sac inside is exposed. The color is a beautiful red, and the melon juice is full and overflowing.

And melon skin, only a thin layer!

The old-fashioned way of growing watermelon for many years, you can tell it is a good melon at a glance!

Chen Jianhe ran over almost immediately, staring straight at the watermelon.

Not only him, but the old farmers on the edge of the field were also attracted, making a burst of uproar.

"Is this really the watermelon we planted? Why is it different from previous years?"

Watermelons with such a thin skin have never been produced in their fields! There is also the color of the melon sac and the fragrance of the melon in the air!

It's different, it's completely different from before!

"Quick, taste it!" The old village head urged, and after recovering, everyone picked up the melon petals and couldn't wait to put them in their mouths.

"..."

After a while, each family in the watermelon field started a melon opening competition.

After another moment, Taoxi Village ushered in the second round of explosive howls.

"Absolutely! This taste is absolutely amazing! After eating, the heat is gone!"

"It's very sweet! You can't stop after one bite!"

"I can't describe it! There is a word for it, yes, aftertaste! Endless aftertaste! And never forget!"

"Let me just say one thing, we are worthy of the price of fifty cents!!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

On this day, Taoxi Village was full of laughter.

In the memory of Taoxi Villagers, this is unprecedented.

How could there be such a scene in Taoxi Village in the past?

The oldest person in the village, Taoxi Village in my impression is also full of depression and silence.

Like an old tree that is rotten inside, it is full of ashes everywhere. No matter how hard it struggles in time, it can only watch the leaves fall off one by one, and finally die slowly.

But on this day, from what they saw along the way, the eyes of the people in Taoxi Village were shining brightly, so bright that it hurt people.

That is hope.

The hope that grows from the hearts of the people in Taoxi Village.

This decayed old tree in Taoxi Village has finally sprouted new green branches.

...

Xizhong Village.

Adjacent to Taoxi Village, seven miles away, the situation in the village is completely different.

It lies surrounded by water, and the village is surrounded by large rice fields.

In addition, the village head has a way in his hands, and the villagers grow other agricultural and sideline products for sale in addition to farming, and they can earn a lot of surplus money every year.

Life is not about being rich and expensive, but it is also self-sufficient.

Compared with Taoxi Village, which is so poor that mice would move, Xizhong Village has a sense of superiority.

In the most magnificent brick and tile house in the village, the village head Wang Jianzhong sat on a recliner and served wine with a plate of roasted peanuts, humming a tune in a good mood.

He has earned a lot of money in the past few years, and he has accumulated a lot of prestige by leading the villagers to get rich together. Wang Jianzhong's childhood life is very comfortable.

Thinking that there will be another sum of money sent to him in Taoxi Village soon, he will feel better.

The sound of motorcycle brakes being turned off sounded in the courtyard, Wang Jianzhong didn't raise his eyebrows, "Is the goods from Taoxi Village ready?"

"Uncle, Taoxi Village is causing trouble! A bunch of fucking poor people dare to rebel!" The young man in a flowered shirt walked into the main room with an ugly expression on his face.

Wang Jianzhong frowned, put down his chopsticks, "What's going on? What's wrong?"

"Their goods are ready, but they are not sold to us, but to another buyer!"

"Who will take their goods but us? Someone wants to break the rules?"

"I asked, it's not someone from our circle! I don't know the origin of the person they are looking for!"

Wang Jianzhong's face darkened.

Because the land in Taoxi Village is not good, the maturity period of the things planted is always ten days and a half months later than the surrounding areas, so he was not in a hurry after the initial quotation, and waited slowly until now.

Just wait for Taoxi Village to deliver it to your door.

In the end, he was cut off?

"Uncle, what should we do now?" The young man in the flowered shirt said in a deep voice, "Let's just watch a large sum of money fly away like this?"

Yes, a lot of money.

The products in Taoxi Village don't look good, but when they are shipped to the county, they are actually only one and a half cents cheaper than others.

And their purchase price is kept low, and the price difference they can earn when they resell it is actually much more than selling other products!

It's almost like picking it up for nothing.

"Let's go to Taoxi Village. I want to see where they can sell those crooked melons and cracked dates!" Wang Jianzhong said in a gloomy tone.

Taoxi Village is a local duck with its neck stuck in his hand and plucking at will.

Can you let it fly?
