At this time, Father Wang smiled and nodded, saying:
"Yes, Xiao Liu is right, safety comes first. Let's eat some watermelon first to quench our thirst, and then have a good meal. After we are full, I will take you to bag watermelons in the afternoon."
The atmosphere in the room became particularly harmonious, and everyone was eating watermelon and chatting.
Qin Jingru gradually relaxed and began to talk to everyone about her hometown and share some interesting things.
On this hot noon, although it is just an ordinary rural family, it is full of warmth and joy.
The brief time they spent together allowed the city dwellers to feel the naturalness, simplicity and sincerity of the rural people.
It also allows city dwellers to feel the simple happiness of rural people's lives. Compared with city dwellers, rural people live more just to fill their stomachs.
He Yushui helped bring back the dishes and saw everyone chatting happily. As the future daughter-in-law of the family, she also felt warm and happy.
After Father Wang and Uncle Zuo sat down at the table with a few others, He Yushui said something to Mother Wang, and without eating a few bites of food, hurried to the wheat field.
When she walked to Wang Gensheng, Wang Gensheng had already loaded 500 large watermelons from the system space onto the truck.
He Yushui thought that the watermelons had not been delivered yet, so he said, "Gensheng, I'm back. You should go home and have dinner. I'll help you pack the watermelons."
Wang Gensheng saw He Yushui coming back and gave her a hug, which made her face blush. Then he smiled and said:
"The 500 watermelons have been packed. Just stay here and watch. I'm going to go eat. Be careful. If anyone asks, just say you are the daughter-in-law of the old Wang family and ask them to come to my house if they have any questions."
"You? How can you load so fast? Are you all loaded?" He Yushui looked at the truck, which was mostly filled with watermelons, in disbelief and rubbed his eyes hard.
Wang Gensheng didn't explain to her and just walked towards home.
I walked into the house, sat down to eat with everyone, and drank with He Yuzhu, Ma Hua, and Yu Haitang.
Seeing others drinking so deliciously, Qin Jingru couldn't help but drink too, and caused some jokes at the table. It was her first time drinking and she had no sense of propriety. After only three glasses of wine, she was very drunk.
Seeing this, Wang Gensheng didn't let her drink anymore, so Haitang took her to the bed to lie down and rest for a while.
The meal took more than an hour to finish.
When Brother Liu returned to the wheat field to drive the truck, he saw that most of the truck was filled with large watermelons and asked in disbelief:
"You packed so much? You're so fast! If I wasn't sure I didn't drink at noon, I would have thought I was drunk."
"Haha, isn't this better? It saves us a lot of time."
When they drove the truck to Wang Gensheng's watermelon field, seeing so many watermelons on the truck, Wang's father frowned. He couldn't understand it and didn't say much.
"Haitang, next, let them load the car, and you keep count. For those over ten kilograms, count one number, and for those between eight and ten kilograms, count one number."
"Okay, you've told me this many times. Am I that stupid? Can't I do something as simple as this?"
Yu Haitang rolled her eyes and glanced at Wang Gensheng. Sometimes she looked at He Yushui again, feeling sour in her heart, which made her doubt herself.
I doubt myself, am I really in love with Wang Gensheng?
He Yushui and others continued to be busy packing watermelons.
Her face was filled with a bright smile, as if she had forgotten the unpleasantness before coming. She was also very happy looking at the car full of watermelons. Although they were not hers, in He Yushui's heart they were not much different from hers.
Wang Gensheng did not participate in the loading, but was taken by his father to meet the production team leader.
(Wang Gensheng’s family is relatively senior in the village. The production team leader, who is in his 40s or 50s, is of the same generation as him.)
"Gensheng, Third Brother knows that you are capable. Now you are a cadre in the factory and can handle the procurement of materials for the steel mill, but we can always take care of our own family, right? Do you think our team can also drink some soup with you?"
"Third brother, what are you talking about? Didn't I just get a batch of farm tools for our village a few months ago?"
"Well, that's not what I meant. What I want to say is that you can't just focus on selling watermelons to your family. I can suppress this matter for you once or twice, but if it goes on for a long time, other people in the production team will definitely have opinions. What do you want me to do?"
"What do you mean by this? Tell me."
"Can we have a few more families in our team grow watermelons and give them to you to sell to the steel mill? That way everyone can make more money and won't be so greedy."
"Our production team doesn't grow crops well, but only grows watermelons. How can you, as the team leader, give your work an account?" Wang Gensheng listened and did not give a reply, but asked back.
"Well, I'm not saying that we should use the current land to grow watermelons. Instead, I'm saying that we should organize people to open up more wasteland, and then grow watermelons there, and then give them to you to harvest."
Wang Gensheng thought for a long time before he looked up and said:
"It's obviously too late to plant watermelons this year. The rainy season is coming soon. You can ask someone to find a piece of land and dig a pond. I will provide the fish fry, you will be responsible for cutting grass and feeding the fish, and I will be responsible for purchasing and recycling."
"This is also good, you are still capable."
"Now that the pond is dug, you have to have someone watch over it. It's not mainly because we're afraid that someone will steal the fish, but we don't want the children in our village to play in the water and drown. That would be bad for all of us."
"That's no problem. Bazhengergou is also lazy and gluttonous. When he is discharged from the hospital, I will arrange for him to look after the fish pond. If he doesn't obey, I will break his legs."
"Okay, let's make it a deal. As for growing watermelons, you should also arrange for someone to open up some land. Not too much, maybe four or five acres. Plant some watermelons next year. I can only have someone responsible for selling a portion of it, and you can figure out the rest on your own."
This time, the production team leader was very happy and smiled from ear to ear, and he gave Wang Gensheng a series of flattering words.
After loading the truck, Yu Haitang reported the count to Wang Gensheng: "69 watermelons weighing more than 162 kilograms, 231 watermelons weighing between and kilograms, a total of watermelons."
After receiving the specific number, Wang Gensheng swiftly counted out 231 yuan and handed it to Wang's father.
"Before I came this time, I said I would buy 200 watermelons from our house. I will find a way to buy the extra 31. No matter how big or small, I will sell them at one dollar each. For the smaller ones, you can find a way yourself."
It’s not that Wang Gensheng doesn’t want to give more, but there are some tricks involved, and with so many people talking, it’s not convenient to tell outsiders.
Those who have worked as buyers or salesmen are all experts in these matters and know them very well, so I will not elaborate on them. If you don’t understand, ask someone for help.
