Alpine Orchard - Chapter 101

[Chapter 101 Calling You Over to Eat Watermelon 【Recommendation】]

Come to the construction site where Xiaomian’s parents are.

This is a two-storey small bungalow of brick-concrete structure, and there are twelve plasterers and handymen in total.

They work more and earn more.

The price here is high, but the construction period is in a hurry.

They also started work at about the same time as Ye Mo’s parents, but they came earlier. Basically, I came here at six o’clock in the morning and finished work at 11 o’clock. Come here around five o’clock in the afternoon…

No way, the sun in August is even more violent.

“Uncle.” Ye Mo drove past, saw Xiao Mian’s father picking up cement mortar, and shouted.

“Hey.” Lin Shan responded with a smile.

“Your son-in-law is here, do you want to take a break?” A dark-skinned woman next to her said with a smile.

“I’ll pick the cement in and take a rest.” Lin Shan laughed.

Ye Mo got out of the car, opened the trunk, carried a thirty-odd catties of watermelon down, and went into the house.

Xiaomian’s mother was laying bricks, she turned her head and looked over: “Why are you here?”

“Bring a big watermelon.” Lin Xiaomian said: “Uncle Liu, Uncle Wang, Aunt…everyone, take a rest after finishing the work at hand. Ha, eat watermelon.”

“Oh, such a big watermelon, it’s not bad.”

“Wait a minute, the cement we just made, we will rest after the cement is used up.” Carpenter Liu said, “Where did you buy this watermelon? , how much is 1 catty.”

Now is the season for a large number of watermelons to be on the market.

This year’s watermelon is a bit expensive. Before, they bought it in the town for two yuan per catty. Large watermelons, that is, watermelons that are more than ten or twenty catties or even larger, cost 1.5 yuan per catty.

“Ye Mo grew the watermelon himself.” Lin Xiaomian said.

“You grow such a big watermelon?” Lin Shan put down the cement mortar, looked at Ye Mo, and said with a smile.

“This is the smallest one, and there is a watermelon weighing more than sixty catties in the car.” Ye Mo said with a smile.

“There are even bigger watermelons in the melon field. The largest watermelon is estimated to weigh more than 100 catties.”

“Watermelons weighing more than 100 catties are very rare. What kind?”

“Extra large melons, I bought them at the Flower Market in Huacheng The seedlings seem to be grafted melons, and I don’t know what kind of seedlings they are.”

“The biggest watermelon I ever planted weighed more than 100 catties, and it took two people to carry it.” A short and thin man smiled and said, “That’s ten It’s been a few years. Now there are not many varieties of large watermelons.”

When Ye Mo was young, there were also watermelons in their hometown. The watermelons planted at the beginning were all very large, weighing several tens of catties, which is very common. Occasionally, there will be hundreds of catties each. But at that time, one or two appeared occasionally…

Now there are farmers who specialize in growing large watermelons. One watermelon uses several vines to transport nutrients, and each one weighs more than 100 catties, all of which are of normal size.

Ye Mo’s vine can grow more than 100 catties, and there are even watermelons weighing more than 200 catties. Although it is not beyond people’s cognition, it is still very rare.

Ye Mo went over to help carry a few buckets of cement mortar, and waited for all the reconciled cement mortar to be used up, so everyone put down their work.

Lin Xiaomian took a knife and cut the watermelon.

This watermelon is too big, cut it in from the middle, turn it around, and the watermelon is still connected.

Ye Mo broke open the watermelon, everyone washed their hands and walked in.

“Sure, such a big watermelon doesn’t have a hollow inside. Looking at the color, it must be very sweet.” The short and thin man said with a smile.

“I know you’ve grown watermelons before, don’t be shy, just taste it.” Lin Shan took the knife and helped divide the watermelons.

A large piece per person.

On this hot day, eating a sip of juicy and sweet watermelon is not to mention enjoying it more.

Holding the watermelon in their arms, everyone started to eat it, and said with a smile, “It’s sweet, and it’s still full of water.”

“Hahaha…” Everyone shared

a big piece, and there were some left over.

There are more than a dozen people, and a piece of watermelon is about two catties, and there are still some left.

Zhou Yue, a short and thin man, quickly finished eating the watermelon in his hand: “Give me another piece.”

“You don’t know how to do it yourself.” Lin Shan.

“I’ll do it myself, you’re welcome.” Zhou Yue said with a smile.

“Eat it. A watermelon this big won’t hold you to death.”

“I still have some in the car after eating it,” Ye Mo said.

“Hahaha, okay…”

“This watermelon would be even better if it’s been chilled.”

“When the next batch of watermelon is ripe, I’ll bring it to everyone after it’s frozen,” Ye Mo said.

Zhou Yue chuckled and said, “Okay. The watermelon is still delicious iced…”

“Hurry up and eat it, such a big watermelon can’t stop your mouth.” Zhou Yue’s wife said angrily, Then he looked at Ye Mo and said, “Uncle Zhou, you don’t usually have a good job, so don’t mind me.”

“I still have a lot of watermelons over there. When they are ripe, I will send some over to everyone every day to ensure that there are enough watermelons. ”

Zhou Yue smiled and said, “If you weren’t Lin Shan’s son-in-law, I would have sworn

sworn vows

with you .” , the relationship is very good. Talking and laughing, playing around…

“You guys eat too.” Xiao Mian’s mother said as she watched Ye Mo and Lin Xiaomian share a piece and they had already finished eating.

“I sent one to my mother just now, and I’ve already eaten some.” Ye Mo said.

A dozen people finished eating a thirty-odd catty watermelon, and Ye Mo went to cut another thirty-odd catty watermelon, and brought half of it over.

After eating watermelon, everyone sat down to smoke a cigarette and rest for a while.

Ye Mo and the others also left and went to Dad’s side.

Dad and Ye Ran are working on the excavator, digging the foundation of the house.

There are only three people on the homestead, Father Ye, Ye Ran, and a project supervisor. There are many people in the orchard not far away, and they are setting up drip irrigation.

“Dad, Ye Ran… Manager Xiang, everyone, take a break and eat watermelon.” Ye Mo went over to park the car and carried the watermelon out.

“Hey, such a big watermelon.” Dad saw the 60-jin watermelon, and said with a smile, “Grown on the mountain?” The

watermelon is planted in the innermost part of the durian forest, which is very remote, and you can’t go there at ordinary times. go.

“This is a small watermelon.” Ye Ran said, “Ye Mo doesn’t know how to grow watermelons. The biggest watermelon weighs more than 100 to 200 catties.”

Father Ye saw that Ye Mo and the others brought a lot of watermelons, After washing his hands, he cut open the remaining watermelons, checked that the watermelons were not damaged, and went out and shouted: “Chen Shan, Chen Laosan, Ye Laoer…”

One was more than 60 catties, the other was 30 catties, Add another half.

“What are you doing?”

There are thirty or forty people laying drip irrigation in the orchard. Tang Xun, his father, his father-in-law, are all here…

“Call everyone to put down what you are doing and come here quickly.” Papa Ye shouted anxiously, “Hurry up, hurry up, something happened.”

“What’s the matter?” The

second uncle heard that Papa Ye’s tone was a little anxious, put down his work, and trotted over.

Everyone put down their work one after another and ran over.

“Hurry up.” Father Ye smiled tensely.

Uncle Ye Mo ran over first, panting, “What’s the matter.” Papa

Ye laughed and said, “I call you to come and eat watermelon.”
