Chapter 663 Planting Watermelons Together
When the little girl saw Mu Xiu, she giggled. Although her face was red with a rosy face, her whole body was very clean. It seemed that Aunt Chen had also taken care of her.
" Raising a child is really a urge to grow old. The way she was born is still in her mind. She is already gone." Aunt Chen also came over and squatted down to look at the little girl.
"Have you given a name?" Mu Xiu held Xue and the little girl's hand came up.
"I'm called Miaomiao, Chen Miaomiao, good Miao will not worry about growing. The name you named Uncle Chen." Aunt Chen touched Miaomiao's head, with a full face full of kindness.
"Good name, by the way, this is a fresh thing I brought back from the capital, just for Miaomiao to play with." Mu Xiu took out a rag doll from the basket.
"Ahhhh." Miaomiao saw it and pointed at the doll and screamed.
Mu Xiu handed the doll to Miaomiao. Miaomiao immediately hugged it in a good manner and gently patted the doll with her hands, just like Aunt Chen coaxed Miaomiao to sleep.
"Hahaha, Miaomiao, do you want to coax the little baby to sleep?" Aunt Chen laughed when she saw her daughter's tender behavior.
"Ah, ah." Miaomiao was making a sound in her mouth. Although she couldn't understand, she looked very happy.
"Thank you, Mu Xiu, I'm still thinking about my Miaomiao." Aunt Chen was even happier when she saw her daughter happy.
"Aunt Chen, this basket is full of candies, chocolates, etc., and the bacon you made by yourself. Keep it, where is my Uncle Chen?" Mu Xiu handed the basket to Aunt Chen and looked around.
"Look at you, I'm embarrassed to be empty-handed every time I come."
"It's all ordinary things, don't talk to me."
"Okay, then I'll accept it. Your Uncle Chen is in the house. You go in and I'll play with Miaomiao for a while."
"Okay, it's cold outside, be careful to keep warm." Mu Xiu said worriedly.
"Look at you, you are more worried than me, a mother-in-law. Go in quickly." Aunt Chen said with a smile.
Mu Xiu pushed open the door of the main hall, and the stove was burning in the room, which was warm. Only then did Mu Xiu feel relieved.
"Mu Xiu, you are here." Chen Xiangyang sat next to the stove, holding up a diapers and baking them. There were a few pairs of shoes beside him. It seemed that they were all Miaomiao.
"Uncle Chen." Mu Xiu went to the stove and sat down.
After not seeing each other for a few months, Chen Xiangyang's hair has turned whiter and he has become much older. Thinking about Aunt Chen outside, she looks old. It seems that she has been working very hard recently.
"You're on winter vacation, how about the capital?"
"I think our village is better if the buildings are taller, there are more people, and there are more things. I still think our village is better." Mu Xiu said the truth. She has seen even the bustling city, not to mention that the golden nest is not as good as the own dog nest.
"I don't believe it. If it's not as good as the village outside, why do everyone go to big cities? You, you have learned to fool me?" Chen Xiangyang thought of his son. He hadn't come back for two years. He sighed in his heart, not knowing whether this unfilial son will come back for the New Year this year.
"Really, Uncle Chen, if you don't believe me, I'll take you to the capital to see you when you look back," Mu Xiu said with a smile.
"Okay" Chen Xiangyang yawned a big yawn as soon as he finished speaking.
"Uncle Chen, you and Aunt Chen are very tired of taking care of Miaomiao." Mu Xiu couldn't help asking.
"We are all old and we are a little lacking in energy. Miaomiao is sleeping soundly at night now, and we haven't had a good sleep for several months."
"It's hard to raise children. My girl Xiaohua has also been tormenting my parents for almost two years. You will be liberated after a year or two." Although Mu Xiu has never raised a child, he knew it was not easy to see Zhou Shuilian and Mu Shui's efforts.
"Children are all parents' debts." Chen Xiangyang sighed and continued, "What's wrong with you here today?"
"Uncle Chen, then I'll say it." Mu Xiu sorted out his thoughts.
"This year, my family continues to grow seedless watermelons, but I need more. I want Uncle Chen to help me ask who is willing to plant it with me this year, and I will buy it for 1 cents per pound."
"How many kilograms of seedless watermelon per acre?" Chen Xiangyang immediately became interested. Everyone knew that Mu Xiu's seedless watermelon was sold well. There were many people in the village who were jealous. If they could plant it together, it would be great.
"The yield per mu is about 4,100 kilograms." Mu Xiuxin calculated and continued, "That is to say, the gross profit of a mu of land is 615 yuan. This watermelon is easy to serve, and the growth cycle only takes more than 4 months, which does not prevent another crop of corn, rice and other crops."
"At present, even if you plant crops and work hard over a year, you will get 80% of these watermelons. This kind of watermelon can only be earned in one season, and even if you make half of it, you will still have 300. This is good." Chen Xiangyang slapped his thigh and said happily.
"However, we only need to plant another 36 acres now. Uncle Chen, please help me ask, as long as there is land at home, you can get enough of these. Moreover, the ugly thing is to be said before, this melon can be eaten at home, but it cannot be sold outside privately. Once you find out, you have to hold the responsibility accountable and sign a contract before planting the melon." Mu Xiu said seriously.
Chen Xiangyang pondered for a moment, yes, if someone buys it out for a higher price, it is really impossible for anyone to sell the melon. It seems that he has to find those honest and reliable families.
"I'll ask you, it will take some time. Come and find me tomorrow night." Chen Xiangyang said.
"Then I'll trouble you. I remember that your family has acre of land? Why don't you try planting some?"
"Okay, I'll try it with you." Chen Xiangyang was also moved when he thought of the few hundred dollars.
"Then I'll go home first, come tomorrow." Mu Xiu stood up and walked out of the door, and did not forget to say to Aunt Chen, "Aunt Chen, my family is crowded now. If you are tired and busy, you can't get out of your body. I'll send Miaomiao to my house, and I'll be back, and Xiaohua can play with you for a day."
"Okay, I remember. If you really have something to do, I'll send Miaomiao to your house." Aunt Chen responded. If Miaomiao was sent to the Mu family, she would be most at ease. She knew that the other party was a reliable person. Zhou Shuilian had said it before, but she was embarrassed. The Mu family was also in trouble. Now that Mu Xiu is back, she will take Miaomiao to sit with the Mu family.
On the way back, Mu Xiu passed by the village clinic. Thinking that the tape at home was used up, he walked in.
"Doctor Zhang, get me a roll of tape." Mu Xiu said to Lao Zhang behind the counter.
"Mu Xiu, you are back." Lao Zhang heard the voice, looked up and saw Mu Xiu, and said with a smile.
"Yes, I'll go home during the Chinese New Year."
"Wait, I'll take it for you." Lao Zhang stood up, took out two rolls of tape from the cabinet and handed it to Mu Xiu.
