“Hello.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan greeted him politely.
“Oh? Xue Yan and Jiang Yue are here too. Come in, come in.” Chunmei’s eyes greeted her warmly.
“No need,” Liu Guixia smiled and said, “I just wanted to talk to you about something. We’ll go back after we’re done. It’s already dark. You still have to go to town to sell vegetables tomorrow. You have to sleep early.”
“What’s the matter?” They were all neighbors and had a good relationship, so Chunmei really didn’t stand on ceremony.
“Can you buy us some watermelon seedlings for us in town tomorrow?” Then, Liu Guixia looked at Xue Yan.
“I…” Xue Yan said, “Jiang Yue and I want to grow watermelons. There are still watermelon seedlings for sale in town, so we’re hoping you can buy some for us.”
Chunmei’s said, “This is just a small matter. How much do you want?”
“Six hundred,” Jiang Yue replied.
“That many!” Chunmei’s eyes were shocked. “Are you going to plant it on that barren land? I heard that your family bought five acres of barren land today.”
“Yes.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan both nodded.
“That’s good. I’ve never seen anyone grow watermelons in the surrounding villages. Maybe you’ll really have a harvest to sell this time. However, it’s going to cost a lot to buy so many seedlings. “Chunmei’s eyes said.
Xue Yan took out the 200 coins that Liu Guixia gave him, “Would this be enough?”
Chunmei’s eyes looked at the money in Xue Yan’s small hand, then at Liu Guixia, who was standing at the side, laughing non-stop and letting her children make the decision. She smiled and said, “Alright, alright, I understand. It’s your family who pampers you. I’ll keep this money first. If there’s any left, I’ll come back and give you the rest.”
“Thank you.” Xue Yan and Jiang Yue both expressed their thanks.
Chunmei’s eyes smiled at Liu Guixia. “Your child is really polite, unlike my child who doesn’t know any better. Last time, he even made a fuss about eating dried beans, but our family finished them all. This year’s new beans haven’t grown out yet, so where am I supposed to get them? Fortunately, your family has some, and you gave us two bowls.”

“It’s just two bowls of dried beans. I’ll have to trouble you with this.” Liu Guixia said with a smile.
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll definitely buy it for you guys tomorrow. “Chunmei’s eyes also laughed.
Jiang Yue washed up and went to bed after she returned from Chunmei’s place.
The next day, after breakfast, Xue Erfu and Xue Yifu carried the meat and tofu back to their respective wives’ homes.
There were a lot of weeds growing in the peanut and sesame fields, so Xue Dafu and the others took their hoes and went to remove the weeds. They also applied some manure to the two fields.
Both peanut and sesame required a lot of care.
The sorghum, corn, and cotton were surprisingly growing well. They were usually taken care of in the same way. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had come to pull the weeds as well. Therefore, Xue Dafu and the others felt that they had to weed earlier and take care of the crops more diligently so that the crops could grow better.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were also weeding, but they were weeding the two acres of barren land that they had bought from the village chief. Fortunately, the weeds weren’t deep, so it wasn’t difficult to remove them.
However, in order to prevent Xue Dafu and the others from noticing something was wrong, Jiang Yue only weeded a few like a child.
Xue Yan’s physical strength was just like that. Even if he used all his strength and worked hard for the whole morning, he could only hoe that many weeds away.
Before noon, Chunmei came back from selling vegetables in town. She also bought the watermelon seedlings and put them in a big basket. She gave the rest of the money to Xue Yan.
