Chapter 801 Watermelon Theft Incident!
Chapter 801 Watermelon Theft Incident!
What does summer look like?
Summer means heat, cool drinks, refreshing ice cream, the seaside and waves...
"It's really hot in the summer. Let's let the children play more indoors. Have you distributed the mung bean soup to relieve the heat? Honestly, this kind of weather is really uncomfortable..."
I hate summer compared to winter. The summer heat makes it hard to eat, and the high temperature can easily make people sick. There's no so-called air conditioning here. It was okay in Mondstadt before, it was cool there, but the weather here is too hot...
The heat makes you feel wilted, just like a flower that has been exposed to the sun for a day.
The flowers are not in bud, but are quietly dying. After all, summer is very difficult for most flowers to get through.
But there is good news. There are some fresh fruits in summer, such as the watermelon that we like to eat the most. This kind of fruit cannot be preserved for too long, but it tastes very good.
"Mom is eating watermelon."
"You eat first. Mom will finish this one. Otherwise, it will be a bit tiring. This one needs to be finished early. Oh my God, there are more than I thought..."
"Don't be too tired, Mom." The watermelon, cut into small pieces, was placed on the table with toothpicks on top. The watermelon was placed in the well to keep it cool. Although it was not as cold as the refrigerator in my previous life, it was still very cool. As for why they didn't use ice mist flowers, it was because frozen hard ice melon was not tasty! "Open your mouth, ah..."
After all, the hard frozen watermelon will taste terrible and weird after it thaws.
It tastes great. The watermelon is already right in front of me, so why not eat it? The sweet, cool taste is really comfortable. The watermelon juice bursts in my mouth, with that familiar overpowering taste. Today's watermelons still have larger seeds and thicker skins, but this is the result of improvements.
"Teacher..." The boy also came over. The 11-year-old was no longer too short and looked like a half-grown adult. "I wonder who ate my watermelon!"
"Huh? What happened?"
"I'm trying to cultivate a sweeter variety. I finally found these wild seeds! I don't know who ate my watermelon, but I've been waiting day and night for it to ripen and save the seeds!"
"Well... I don't have any other options." However, with his elemental power, he was still able to do some things, at least things that the children couldn't do. "Are there any flowers left on the watermelon vine? If so, I'll help you. It's okay, as long as there are flowers left, another one will grow. Now, have a bite of watermelon first."
"Hmm... this is the only way." Le Lan also picked up a small piece with a toothpick and put it in his mouth, then opened his eyes wide, "What a sweet watermelon! The sweetest kind I've ever eaten, as sweet as the wild watermelon I ate last time... Hmm? Wait, Bruno Linxi, where did you get it?!"
"That watermelon patch next to the well? Aren't the watermelons there specially grown for us?"
"...It's the one in the field next to the big patch of watermelons, right?"
"Hmm? That's right..." He suddenly realized what had happened and froze for a moment. Then he looked at the half watermelon he had just put in his mouth. Uh, what should he do? "Hmm... I might have taken the wrong one and eaten your watermelon!" It's over. Big mistake!
How could I not know how much Le Lan cares about the watermelons he grows these days? Even though I haven't seen them, I don't even have time to read fairy tales with him anymore. It's over...
"...It's already happened, and there's no point in blaming you... I'm sad, but this is the only way. I also forgot to fence off that area and put up a sign saying no picking. Adults generally don't go there to pick fruit, and they know it. I didn't expect you didn't know that I forgot to tell you, alas..."
If you scold the other person, it won't have any effect. The incident has already happened and there is no isolation, so there is a problem...
"It's already happened, let's go help fix it, okay? It was just a small mistake, but the watermelon is delicious, and now at least the seeds can be saved." He dragged the two children along. Where the watermelons had been picked, only two small yellow flowers remained. They must have been picked from other small branches...
The elemental force was slowly injected, and the branches that had begun to dry up began to come alive again. After the flowers were successfully pollinated, small melons were produced. The elemental force cannot be given too much at one time, otherwise there will be bad results in the future.
"If we use a special accelerated nutrient solution, it will be fully grown in about two weeks. It's never too late to make amends..."
"From today on, I'll help you water, fertilize, and loosen the soil. To express my apology, I'm very sorry, Lelan..."
"Well...it's okay. I'm not that angry. At least the watermelon is really delicious..."
The little watermelon incident was over. Watching the two kids scrambling for a small watermelon reminded me of the agricultural students I met in my past life. They must have been in a similar situation, right? How tragic it would be if the fruits of their labor were accidentally eaten for no apparent reason!
There’s still half a plate of watermelon left!
First, I took the children back to finish the watermelon. Lelan was very sad, but it was really delicious. She was happy while eating it...
"It's delicious... so sweet, it feels so good to eat. Hmm, so sad, but it's so delicious and sweet..."
While saying it was delicious, I felt no sadness, and at the same time I felt it was delicious...
"It tastes really good. It tastes really good. Honestly, you're really great! Honestly, this is the first time I've eaten such a sweet watermelon. I've eaten it many times before, but I've never had anything this delicious. It's really amazing!"
"Okay... Seeing you eating so happily, I'll forgive you. After all, if you can all enjoy your food, I'll be happy too..."
Finally, magnanimity led to forgiveness.
"It tastes really good... Honestly, such a sweet watermelon would be even better if it didn't have seeds."
"How can a watermelon be seedless? If so, how can the watermelon retain its seeds for continued planting?"
"Well... theoretically, it's possible. I've tasted it before, but haha, it's very difficult. It requires a lot of time and many, many trials..."
It takes a lot of time and a lot of attempts.
