At night, it was pitch black outside, but the Ruan family was particularly energetic tonight.

It was originally time to sleep, but now everyone is awake and sits in the main hall.

"What's wrong with you guys today? You're not sleeping anymore, are you so in good spirits?" Chen Xiangyun came back from washing up, looked at the person sitting in the room, and said.

The three people's heads were shining on the window paper by the lights, and they jumped in the flashing lights.

"I've caught too many fish during the day and I'm not tired at all, and it's strange."

"This is really strange. People are so tired that they are too busy to catch them. They fall asleep early on lying on the kang. You can't sleep."

"Didn't the two children sleep? Why are you talking about me?" Old Man Ruan shouted.

"What's wrong with you two? Are you still not sleeping?"

People in rural areas usually go to bed after having supper, and after a while, they take a rest.

I went to bed almost seven or eight o'clock, and I had no other fun to pass the time.

"I'm making smoked fish pieces and I'm still waiting for a while before going to bed."

"I want to taste the smell of the smoked fish pieces." Jing Chen actually couldn't sleep. For some reason, he always had insomnia when he arrived here. He couldn't fall asleep until the second half of the night. It was still early now.

As he said that, Chen Xiangyun and Old Man Ruan talked about the sand.

"Old man, have you figured out what you planted in that piece of sand?"

"Isn't this worrying? The harvest of peanuts last year was not very good. I just planted sweet potatoes, but I think it was too wasteful."

"I'm also thinking about what to plant in this land." Old Man Ruan sighed.

The sandy land at the east end of the village was abandoned for a long time and no one in the village wanted to go, so he took it down.

Peanuts were planted last year, but the result was that the peanuts that were born were small or empty.

"The season will be out soon. If you don't have a heavy load, I guess that land will be left in waste."

"Dad, plant melons in the sand!" Ruan Qingqing exclaimed.

"Source melons? What kind of melons should I plant?"

"It is impossible to be cucumber, winter melon, or pumpkin. Let's plant watermelon!"

"Watermelon? I have only heard of gourd melon, but I have never heard of watermelon."

"Yes, what is a watermelon?"

"A fruit, after the shell on the outside is opened, the flesh inside is red. It will be sweet in the summer, not to mention how quenching thirst."

"How can there be such a watermelon? I have never heard of it. I have never heard of anyone growing this watermelon in this village within a few miles."

"Then I have no experience in planting this melon." The old man was worried that it was a waste of money. This kind of manpower was a small matter. I was afraid that buying seeds would cost a lot of money.

"Dad, just say, do you plant or not? If you plant, I will cultivate seedlings for you." Ruan Qingqing said.

"Where did you get the seedlings?" Chen Xiangyun asked, "Xiao Madam, have you forgotten. We bought a variety of seeds last time when we went to the supply and marketing cooperative. Last time we came back, I saw a pack of watermelon seeds."

"Oh, I remember, we bought a lot of seeds and there are watermelon seeds in it?"

"Yes, I see the words "watermelon seeds" on it. The people at this counter must not deceive us."

"Where have you put the seeds?" Old Man Ruan asked.

"Here, in the drawer, didn't my mother put it away? She put it in a bottle." Ruan Qingqing looked at the cabinet on the side and spoke.

"You go and get it, I'll see what it is."

"Have you eaten?" Jing Chen asked.

Ruan Qingqing shook her head, "I haven't eaten it, but I've seen it. I'm waiting on the book, I'll get the book."

Last time I found several crop books at the scrap recycling station, which really recorded how to grow watermelons, from seedling cultivation to flowering and fruiting.

Crops such as watermelon, sweet potatoes, peanuts, and cotton are all suitable for sandy pulp cultivation, otherwise she would not have suggested planting watermelons.

Besides, I have never eaten pork and I have never seen pigs run away. This doesn’t affect it at all.

"The seeds are here, each one, different from rapeseed, but they look quite similar to pumpkin seeds."

"Not. I look like it."

"Xiao Mother, dad, look, the watermelon is drawn in this book. It has stripes on it, and the fruit is bigger than the head." Ruan Qingqing pointed to the picture in the book and said to them.

Old Man Ruan looked at the text on the book and thought that this kind of melon was indeed possible. No one in the nearby villages said this. If this was a real life.

Then they will have an extra income.

Jing Chen didn't expect that Ruan Qingqing was still reading and literate.

Old Man Ruan immediately became worried, "This Qingming Festival has passed, it's too late."

"Dad, why can't this work? It didn't take long before Qingming Festival."

"Let's try it, girl, you can cultivate the seedlings first."

"Then it's designated. It takes five or six days to produce seedlings. There will definitely be a lot of rain. It just so happens that the seedlings will be planted, so we don't need to water them anymore, which will save trouble."

"This watering is not troublesome. The sand is next to the river embankment." Old Man Ruan said.

Then the sand is an alluvial fan, the soil must be fertile, and there is no need to worry about fertilizers or anything else.

"Okay, then I'll take the seeds down and soak them in water, just wait for them to emerge."

"This girl is very busy doing things, and I don't know who she looks like."

"Like you, I was also doing things in a hurry when I was young."

"Hahaha, too." Old Man Ruan scratched his head as he heard this.

Jing Chen accompanied Ruan Qingqing to the kitchen.

"Old man, do you think this kid is quite compatible with our daughter."

"Is it a perfect match? Why didn't I see it?" Old Man Ruan frowned.

"Hahaha, old man, you just can't bear to part with your daughter. Didn't you always look down on the girl before? What's wrong with it now? Are you interested in the baby?"

"Whose girl, dad doesn't feel sorry for me?" The old man said, "Although you think that young man is good, they are still young, so don't worry, let's take a look later."

"I guess my daughter can meet a better one. This kid is poor and doesn't know where it came out. My parents don't know who they are, and we don't know him yet. It's too early to say this."

"I'll just say it, why did you get in?"

In the kitchen, Jing Chen looked at Ruan Qingqing's face. Under the candlelight, Ruan Qingqing's face was particularly pink and tender, and it was shining with light.

"That's fine, huh? Why are you watching me?" Ruan Qingqing turned his head and saw that the man was staring at him.

I don’t know what he is looking at, is there something on his face?

"I think you look good, no."

"Tsk, I have bad intentions. When will a praising word pop out of your mouth?" Ruan Qingqing didn't believe it, but she felt happy in her heart.

"I didn't expect you to read and read."

Ruan Qingqing glanced at him and didn't reply, thinking about what he would say next.

"It really surprised me if you read and read a little bit."

"How much have you learned? Junior high school or high school?"

"High school." Ruan Qingqing spit out two words.

"Have you ever thought about going to go to a university?"

"Hmm? Why?"

"I will improve myself. After having a bachelor's degree, I will be assigned a job directly in the future."

Ruan Qingqing didn’t care about this. He was not as comfortable as a villager than a job. In the future, the public volumes were compiled. Are you tired?

It’s better to have fun growing flowers and raising grass in the countryside.

Although her iron rice bowl is good, her ambition is not here.

“Not interested ~”

Jing Chen looked at her back and felt more and more that Ruan Qingqing was different.
