After collecting the blooming flowers, Ye Mo and the others went back and changed their clothes. Lin Xiaomian also wanted to wash her hair...
By the time she finished dressing up, it was past ten o'clock.
It was almost twelve o'clock when we arrived at my uncle's house.
My uncle's family is also in a large mountainous area. It is almost as remote as Hongshan Town. However, the road traffic is almost the same as that of Hongshan Town.
My uncle and his family are planting a lot of nectarines. These nectarines have already grown flower buds and will bloom on a large scale in a few days.
Ye Mo took Lin Xiaomian to meet his uncle and aunt, as well as his grandfather and grandmother.
Ye Mo's parents had arrived long ago, and Chen Chen was also here.
Chen Chen has now become a regular employee.
Ye Mo didn't ask much about Ye Ran and Chen Chen...
Ye Ran is an adult now, and she can handle these things by herself.
"Why did you come here? Dinner is about to begin." Zhou Jie, the little cousin, said.
"There's something going on in the fields. I just came here after I finished my work." Ye Mo and the other young people sat at a table.
The eldest cousin Zhou Sheng brought a beer: "Drink some wine."
"You can't drink. I have to drive after eating." Ye Mo said.
"Are you leaving after eating?"
"I have to go to Uncle Xiaomian's place in the afternoon." Ye Mo said and looked at Chen Chen: "Aren't you going to leave today?"
"Go to my second wife's house in the afternoon." Chen Chen said.
After coming here, Ye Mo bought gifts for his uncle and grandma. After giving the gifts, Ye Mo said goodbye to his uncle...
After explaining the situation, my uncle did not stop him and asked him to pay attention to safety while driving.
The afternoon sun is bright.
Lin Xiaomian took off her coat, put on a fitted white T-shirt, and put down the chair: "I'm going to take a nap."
"Um."
Lin Xiaomian tilted her head and looked at Ye Mo...
Ye Mo tried his best to drive the car as smoothly as possible. Lin Xiaomian put on a blindfold and fell asleep after a while.
Back at Gaoshanping, Ye Mo got out of the car lightly, went into the greenhouse, collected the pollen, and then took out a large brush to pollinate the female flowers.
Each watermelon plant pollinates three female flowers, removes all other flowers, and removes all new vines.
After the three female flowers are pollinated, they will enter the fruit setting period. After a few days, the fruits will be combed. Leave one per plant...
The purpose of pollinating three female flowers is to leave a watermelon with the best growth and perfect fruit shape.
While he was busy, Lin Xiaomian walked in: "Why don't you wake me up."
"It's a little bit of work and I'll finish it quickly." Ye Mo said, "You can rest for a while."
During this time, not only Lin Xiaomian, but also Ye Mo was a little tired.
Lin Xiaomian looked at Ye Mo coquettishly, walked over and hugged his neck.
"Ouch, my legs are numb, please get up quickly."
Lin Xiaomian kissed him on the face and climbed up from Ye Mo's back: "Do you still have a brush?"
"In the small bucket at the door." Ye Mo grabbed her hand and said, "You come and pollinate, and I will remove the new vine buds."
There are not many flowers for pollination. There are only eighty melon seedlings...three eighty twenty-four, just two hundred and forty flowers.
However, it takes time to remove the new sprouts.
The two of them finished their work in the greenhouse not long after, washed their hands outside, and returned to the car.
"Which uncle of yours is hosting the reception today?" Ye Mo asked.
"Third uncle's house." Lin Xiaomian said, "You sit in the passenger seat and I'll drive."
"Are you okay?"
"What's wrong?"
Ye Mo gave the key to Lin Xiaomian and sat in the passenger seat.
Lin Xiaomian started the car, reversed it, and said, "Does your car need to be wider?"
"Hmm. Your Geely is 1.9 meters wide, and this one is 2 meters wide... Also, it needs to be longer."
"I didn't feel anything special before, but now sitting in the passenger seat, the car feels so big."
"The car is wide, so you need to be careful when driving." Ye Mo said, turning on the air conditioner.
It was nearly a two-hour drive to Aunt Xiaomian’s house. It was already past four o’clock, and Aunt Xiaomian had already started preparing dinner...
Ye Mo and the others went over and accompanied several of Xiaomian's cousins, Zhuangpan (cousins), to make golden flowers.
Lin Xiaomian won a lot of money by tying golden flowers on uncle Xiaomian's birthday two years ago. This time, Lin Xiaomian won money again.
However, if Ye Mo lost money, it was equivalent to Lin Xiaomian not winning.
Many relatives and friends came here, and it was dinner after five o'clock. After dinner, the relatives from my aunt's side left one after another...
Ye Mo and the others also said goodbye. At this time, Xiaomian's grandparents came over and handed Lin Xiaomian a small red envelope and gave Ye Mo a big red envelope.
"I'm such an old person, grandma... you can keep this money and spend it yourself." Ye Mo declined.
"This is your first time coming to celebrate the New Year with us, so you have to take this red envelope. Xiaoli's husband came here for the first time, and we also gave him a red envelope." Grandpa said, "Hurry up and collect it."
"Thank you grandpa, thank you grandma."
"Grandpa, grandma... we will go back and come back tomorrow."
"Let's stay here for one night. There's a room." Grandma seemed to particularly like Lin Xiaomian and persuaded her to stay.
Lin Xiaomian looked at Ye Mo: "My uncle will host a reception tomorrow, or else we'll stay here all night."
Looking at his grandmother's earnest eyes, Ye Mo nodded: "Okay."
In the next few days, Xiaomian's uncle, second uncle, and younger uncle... then went to Lin Xiaomian's house...
Ye Mo doesn't have many relatives who are leaving, only his uncle and uncle. The second uncle is close to each other, so it doesn't matter whether he leaves or not, since they meet often.
Ye Mo was worried about Gua Miao at home. His father called and asked Ye Mo to play in peace for a few days. Gua Miao would be with them...
Stayed with Uncle Xiaomian for three nights.
We played cards every day. After my uncle hosted a reception, in the afternoon... a group of people went to Spring City, went shopping, watched movies... and went to KTV to sing in the evening...
After playing at the KTV until after eleven o'clock, Ye Mo drank some wine and Lin Xiaomian drove home.
Xiaomian's parents haven't gone to bed yet, they are soaking their feet in the living room and watching TV.
"Dad, Mom... haven't gone to bed yet."
"Uncle, sissy."
"It's past eleven o'clock, why are you back?" Xiaomian's mother said, "There will be a reception at home tomorrow, so we can't sleep in. You guys should pack up quickly and go to bed early."
the next day.
Ye Mo and the others didn't get up until after eight o'clock.
Xiaomian's mother went out to buy groceries.
Ye Mo followed Xiaomian's father to borrow tables and chairs from neighboring houses...
There are a lot of guests today.
Xiaomian's two uncles and little aunt.
Four uncles, eldest aunt, grandparents...
Lin Shan also invited Ye Mo's parents, his second uncle's family, his third uncle's family, as well as Old Tang and Old Wang...
Lin Shan helped Ye Mo get watermelons, and they all bragging and playing cards together every day, and their relationship became close.
In addition, there are several workers here in Linshan who are coming over.
It is unclear whether Ye Mo's side will come over. If all of Xiao Mian's relatives come over, there will be thirty or forty people.
