Chapter 115 The Big Watermelon

"Yuan Qing is here!"

Lu Yuanqing was filled with mixed feelings, while Zhao Zhongcai was unaware that he was chatting idly with someone on the side.

Lu Yuanqing was multitasking in dealing with him.

They focused their attention on the open-air stove.

Once the pig feed was cooked, the women would spoon it into buckets, letting it cool down a bit so it wouldn't burn the pigs. Then they would carry the buckets full of feed into the pig farm.

Now, both the concerned and the onlookers followed suit and went inside.

The moment the pig feed was poured into the trough and the piglets scrambled to eat it, Lu Yuanqing's heart finally died!

Damn it! He shouldn't have compromised. When Zhao Zhongcai insisted on giving him peanut cakes, he shouldn't have taken them home just to fit in.

He shouldn't have ate it so heartily just because it smelled so good!

What's the difference between him last night and the little pig now?

The images are too similar; he can't accept it!

Aside from Lu Yuanqing, whose attention wasn't on the main point, everyone else was focused on how happily the little pig was eating!

"You eat so fast, that's great!"

"Wow, you can eat so much! You can eat even more than the piglets used to!"

"It's been three months, and it's grown so big! Of course it can eat!"

"Eat more, gain more weight, and you can be ready for market sooner!"

The piglets were good at eating and growing, so Zhao Zhongcai was naturally very satisfied.

Especially now that the piglets have eaten, they no longer squeal every day or bang on their pens, which is even more satisfying!

The piglets grew very quickly, at a rate that was almost visible to the naked eye.

The villagers who were initially dissatisfied were now somewhat satisfied!

Time flies, and before we know it, school is out for break, and Shihua Village is entering its hottest season!

"It's so hot!"

"It's so hot!"

"Can I go take a shower?"

"No! Uncle said we can't go into the pond!"

"But it's so hot!"

Lu Yuanqing went to the commune under the scorching sun. When he got home, before he even stepped inside, he heard his children complaining about the heat!

It was really hot; he felt uncomfortable and couldn't stand the heat.

However: "Never go near the pond! If anyone sneaks into the water, I'll break your legs!"

Lu Yuanqing spoke seriously, but the little ones in his family were never afraid of him.

Before she could even call out to him, she saw what he was carrying! A scream immediately rang out.

Wow! A big watermelon! Uncle, you bought a big watermelon!

"I want to eat watermelon! I want to eat watermelon!!"

"Put the watermelon in cold water to cool it down first, then it will taste better!"

Lu Yuanqing once again became the most popular person.

Uh!

This time, it's all about watermelons!!!

"Be careful, don't fall to the ground!" Lu Yuanqing reminded them as he handed the watermelon to the little ones who had gathered around.

"I was lucky this time, I happened to come across a watermelon sale, and I managed to grab two. I'll put one in cold water to eat tonight, and I'll open the other to eat now. Hmm, I'll cut half of it and take it to my uncle's house!"

Lu Yuanqing made the arrangements in an orderly manner.

When we come across some rare and valuable items, we always think of sending some to Lu Guobin's family.

Lu Yuanhuan was carrying a large watermelon towards the kitchen when she heard this. She stopped and turned around to ask, "What about the brigade leader's family?"

The head of their family, Lu Yuanqing, only frequently visited the Lu Guobin and Zhao Zhongcai families in the village, and he would often think of both families.

Of course, it's all about give and take!

Lu Yuanqing sat relaxed, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, and said, "I went to the commune with the brigade leader!"

"Oh!" Upon hearing this, Lu Yuanhuan said nothing more.

Watermelons are a rare commodity in their area. It's not that they can't grow them, but rather that people are unwilling to use their land to grow watermelons instead of crops!

Lu Yuanqing said that since it was such a rare opportunity, Zhao Zhongcai, no matter how frugal, would not miss it!

When the watermelon was cut, it was like a fight over it.

Lu Yuanhuan was a good younger sister; she took the bowl and placed it in front of Lu Yuanqing.

Lu Yuanqing picked up a piece on a whim, but before he could put it in his mouth, he was almost knocked over by a swarm of kids who rushed up to him.

He quickly pulled his legs back and steadied himself!

There wasn't even time to grumble; I was too busy eating watermelon!

"This watermelon is good, sweet!" Lu Yuanqing tasted the sweetness as soon as he took a bite; it was really good!

It seems the brigade leader's skill in picking watermelons wasn't just boasting!

Lu Yuanhuan cut the pieces small, two slices for each person.

Just as they finished eating, Lu Yuanbo, who had gone to deliver the watermelon, returned.

They left some for him. He looked at the remaining two pieces, said nothing, put the return gift from Zhang Panlan on the table, and started eating!

The way they ate made Lu Yuanqing's lips twitch!

Even Pigsy couldn't eat ginseng fruit as fast as him!

"You slow down!"

"Brother, this watermelon is delicious!"

Lu Yuanqing, fanning himself with a palm leaf fan, laughed and said, "If you like them, I'll try to get some watermelon seeds next year and plant some in my own plot!"

"really?"

"Great!"

"Let's plant! Let's plant watermelons!"

This suggestion was agreed upon by everyone in the family!

Lu Yuanqing crossed his legs again, ignoring the hot air, deeply understanding the spirit of calm mind brings coolness, and leisurely swayed.

There should have been plenty of fruit in the Sichuan-Chongqing region.

For example, plums, pears, peaches, and other fruits, especially pomelos, which are very good, but they ripen in winter. Eating them cold in the dead of winter is really a shame, as they grow out of season.

However, nowadays in the village, wherever there is land, it is always planted with grains. I don't know if there were fruit trees before, but there aren't any now.

There are only one or two fruit trees in front of each family’s house, mostly pomelo and plum trees.

Without grafting or improvement, the yield was low and the taste was just average!

As for private plots, they are the only things that belong to the family, and it is absolutely impossible to use them to grow fruit!

Lu Yuanhuan wanted to say something, but seeing how happy everyone was, she decided to keep quiet!

"Brother, how did your talk with the brigade leader go at the commune today?" Lu Yuanhuan asked curiously!

They underestimated the capabilities of those pigs at the pig farm. They really can eat and grow a lot. It's only the beginning of July, and they've already grown to almost 7 pounds!

Zhao Zhongcai and Lu Yuanqing were thinking that the next thing they needed to do was harvest corn, but once the corn was harvested, all kinds of grains would follow.

There will be no time to sell the pigs, and Lu Yuanqing will not have time to buy another batch of piglets!

Moreover, the big fat pigs are no longer being sold, and they eat a lot every day, so their growth rate has slowed down!

So, after a meeting, the village officials decided to sell the pigs before the corn harvest!

"Not bad!" Lu Yuanqing said, "Fifty cents per pound of live pig! It's even a bit more expensive than last year!"

It only cost four cents last year!

"Moreover, someone from the pig farm will come to inspect it. The team leader said that the pigs raised in our village will definitely be rated as first-class pigs!"

"Great!" That's wonderful news!
