The sweet aroma penetrated into his nose, and Father Chen's throat rolled, but he still had a cold face:
"You, and Mom, both of you stand here for me, you can only watch and you are not allowed to eat. So——"
"You live a very luxurious life now. How much salary do you have to buy a pound of watermelon? Our family is not rich enough to do that."
"Mom, what about you? The doctor has warned you not to eat sugary things, but you still eat half a watermelon at once. You don't take your life seriously at all!"
He took out a spoon and dug hard into the heart of the melon. A ball of crispy red melon pulp was bitten off in one bite!
Well!
Father Chen's expression froze.
The old lady's face was full of longing, and she couldn't help but swallow again. In fact, the person who ate half of the melon just now was quite full, but her mouth was still hungry.
Chen Yunyun sneered and said loudly: "It's all my fault for my extravagant style. I shouldn't have bought a melon for 0 yuan per catty! I'll just buy the melons sold at the stalls for 2 yuan per catty."
Father Chen put down the spoon and looked serious:
"Little girl, it's okay to spend more money. Come on, come on, how much did you spend on melons? Dad will reimburse you."
】
While talking, he took out his mobile phone to transfer money, and then warned: "I'll buy it next time I see you!"
Chen Yunyun snorted: "Our family is not a family that can afford such luxury."
"nonsense."
Dad Chen stared at her: "What does dad make money for? Just so that you can enjoy life. I have struggled for so many years, and my daughter wants to eat something good. Why can't she do it?"
"purchase!!!"
…
That night, I don’t know how many families were both satisfied and miserable because of this melon.
And here in Song Tan, it’s another busy day——
Today I want to ask someone to put fruit in the peach trees.
There are many peach blossoms in bloom, and the fruits underneath are so densely packed that there are as many as three, five or six in one place.
It looks quite rare, but if you want the fruits to grow plump and big, you can only selectively pick some in advance.
No, today we invited people from the village again.
However, there were all melon vines and watermelons underneath, so everyone walked extra carefully.
Fortunately, it doesn't matter if the progress is a little slower. After all, the harvesting should have started long ago. They delayed it until now just to make these small green peaches grow bigger.
Although they haven't tasted the taste of pickled green peaches, since the seventh cousin said it was delicious, everyone's mouths watered when they thought about the taste of those things in the past.
And this morning is also the day when Brother Zhang comes to pack the goods as usual.
Song Tan saw him coming and quickly took out 6 watermelons from the room: "Come on, come on, are you ready with the packing box I told you about? These watermelons must be packed well."
Brother Zhang couldn't help but said: "I'm prepared, but watermelons...you can't buy anything in the imperial capital, and you can grab a lot of imported ones!"
Song Tan simply stuffed him with a piece: "It's just cut, you can try it."
Brother Zhang:......
He sniffed, squeaked in silence, and said nothing more after finishing the meal.
On the other hand, Zhang Yanping came back with a basket of green peaches. When he saw this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Tan Tan, didn't you go to the city to deliver goods yesterday? Why didn't you bring this watermelon with you?"
"That's not a good deal!" Song Tan said confidently:
"Brother Zhang, the express delivery here is very cheap, but it's many times more expensive in the city. Didn't Party Secretary Xiao Zhu pay for it yesterday? She wanted it urgently."
Zhang Yanping:......
As expected of his sister, you know that the one from Imperial City is your savior, but you don’t know, you thought she was a fussy customer! Even if you send a courier, you still have to pay for it.
…
Lu Chuan didn't know that he had another surprise on the way. At this moment, he was standing on the terrace, looking at the pots of roses, filled with wonder——
Chinese rose is also known as medicine jar.
White powder, black spots, aphids, thrips, and red spider mites. Without a little of each, it would not be called a rose! Especially red spider mites are the lifelong enemy of every flower grower.
Even if he takes good care of it and has good ventilation, it is still inevitable that there will be dense red spider larvae on the rose leaves in summer.
Therefore, every summer evening, routine spraying of pesticides on the terrace is indispensable.
But now...
He carefully turned over the leaves again: It has been more than a week since the last time I sprayed pesticides, why are there no signs at all now? Apparently I saw some slight traces a few days ago!
Not only this pot, but almost all the roses are extremely healthy, not to mention other flowers, and there is no sign of any insect damage.
Even the small black flies that occasionally flew around the edge of the potted soil were now nowhere to be found.
Lu Chuan thought about it and finally focused on the big bucket in the corner.
In a large plastic bucket, a bunch of cut tobacco that had soaked to a brown color was sinking aggrievedly at the bottom of the bucket, and the water in which it was soaked was only slightly yellow.
After all, I have been watering frequently in the past few days, and I have changed a lot of water. Now that it has color, this tobacco is quite resistant to soaking.
Then he thought about how not a single mosquito had been seen since the dish of dried tobacco was placed in the bedroom, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart.
The yellow woody incense and windmill jasmine on the shelf next to it are intertwined, and the fragrance and cascading petals are piled up like clouds.
In the corner, Madagascar jasmine climbs along the molding frame, with shy white flowers hidden among its dark green leaves, like a pure bride coming from afar.
Looking at the rooftop, the rose hydrangeas and amaryllis are blooming in a colorful and enthusiastic manner. It is really rare to see such a colorful scene without any pests or diseases.
He thought for a while and finally took out his mobile phone to make an appointment for door-to-door courier delivery.
Then I carefully selected flowers of various colors, avoiding only the bright red roses.
Finally, it was combined into a beautiful and colorful bouquet of flowers. The small thorns at the bottom were trimmed, wrapped in some water, and then wrapped again——
I have received many gifts and have nothing to repay, so I will give this summer scene to the little girl.
It also reassures the other person, after all, there must be nothing wrong with someone who has the leisure time to grow flowers.
If you have the chance, you must go to her hometown to see what kind of place with outstanding people can produce such simple people and such outstanding fruits and vegetables...
As for those shredded tobacco...
He thought with satisfaction and happiness: This summer, these flowers will all depend on it!
…
In another part of the imperial capital, several elderly people also received a box of express delivery.
Heavy.
The person following him stretched out his hand: "I'll do it."
"No, you young man has no principles! Give it to anyone who wants it. This thing must be in my hands to feel at ease."
The young man next to him said that his face was red and he was particularly embarrassed - everyone here was someone he had to take care of, and he was not the only one. They were so old and they came to snatch them, how could he still hold on to them?
?
The young man feels wronged, but the young man cannot say anything.
Next to him, Lao Zhu, who was holding the express delivery, was so proud of himself that he took steps like he didn't recognize his relatives.
