Chapter 22

It's rare to have such a complete variety of melons. It must be the old farmer who takes care of the orchard.

The dark green slender melon is the black beauty melon, the golden round melon is the brandy melon, the green sweet melon is the Hami melon, and the size is not big. It is somewhat different from the general watermelon. Samantha asked Chen Guoqing about the melon just now.

Such a sweet temptation, but few people patronize the old man's vendors.

These days, I can't eat enough. Who has extra money to enjoy fruit?

A Chinese cabbage can be used for seven or eight people to stew a pot of dinner, while a dozen kilograms of watermelon at the same price is useless except that Duogong gives two bubbles of urine.

When the old man sighed today's sixty sixth tone, a shadow fell in front of him. His first customer finally came when the black market was about to close.

"Comrade Chen? What the hell is this?"

Samantha's index finger had been put into her mouth, and her cheeks unconsciously bulged a lovely arc. Let the impure Chen Guoqing swallow a mouthful of saliva.

"This, this is a melon. It's a variety of watermelon, but it's a little different from the usual watermelon we eat. It has less meat and more seeds. It's planted mostly to collect Western melon seeds! Why, Sasha, do you want to eat it? It's not delicious. I'll buy you the brandy melon next to it. It's crisp and sweet."

It's not small, it's only five or six cents.

"No, brother Chen, you are too vulgar. Such a useful melon naturally needs to be continued."

"Imagine that on the loess ground next day, there are melons all over the mountains. Isn't this more revolutionary friendship among educated youth?"

Chen Guoqing, who was taken astray by Samantha, really had a picture of green melons in his mind, and the hot girl smiled back at him in the melon field.

Buy! Must buy! This melon is bigger!

"OK! Then buy a melon!"

As soon as they heard about the business, the old man who never sighed since they appeared next to the scooter and listened to the small talk with his ears, got up from the sitting table.

"Sure enough, the little girl has an eye. Our melons have high seeds. If we plant them, they will survive! I'll choose a ripe one for you!"

"Eh? Grandpa, you don't have to choose. I want all your melons here? How can a melon grow a field?"

"What?"

"What?"

Surprised, the old man and a trembling Chen Guoqing who listened to Samantha's words shouted out together.

"OK, there are four dozen melons, one point and one kilo, a total of twenty-four cents!"

Lest the other party regret, the old man's hand holding melons in the broken sack handed over to Gu Zheng at the right time also accelerated a bit.

On the other hand, Samantha threw a wink at Chen Guoqing with her big eyes. The finger pulled two men back and forth in her trouser pocket, and took out some wet wool tickets.

"Buy!"

With the falling of this voice, Gu Zheng seemed to have the following scene in front of him.

"Proud, proud and smiling, ten thousand waves

Warm blood, warm up, red sunlight... "

Under such a musical background, Comrade Chen Guoqing, like holding a dynamite bag, holding hope and the expectations of all the people around him, struggled step by step and walked muddy towards the old man's scooter step by step.

His steps were slow and firm, and each step seemed to have experienced a painful struggle.

"Bring it!"

The background music stopped suddenly

For fear of regret, the old man, who was only two steps away from them, took out the pot behind him as an itching pouch, and fished the coins in Chen Guoqing's hands with a hook.

"Thirty cents. Give you six cents. Take it! You can't return it if it's sold!"

It's the same thing with buying and leaving.

"Hey, hey..."

The scooter was pushed up: "close the stall and go home!"

After a gust of dust, only a bulging sack on Gu Zheng's back and a V by Comrade Samantha's leg were left.

Gu Zheng, who got the signal, immediately put on a serious face. He looked at the still high sun hanging at the top of his head and lied with his eyes open.

"Uncle he, have you purchased everything?"

"There's nothing to buy. I bought some vegetables and beans."

"Well, comrade Samantha, as the group leader, I must criticize you here. How can I chat and joke with other casual people during the procurement period?"

"You are not taking the task assigned by the public into consideration! As a punishment, please hand in a check of no less than 500 words to me when you go back today."

"And you, Comrade Chen!" Gu Zheng clenched Chen Guoqing's wet hand with six cents left: "you're too bad at this! I must criticize!"

Yes? Buy you melons and get criticized?

Why don't you give me the melon back.

"You see, you are too polite! Not only did you provide sustainable development materials for our most difficult group in the principle of mutual help, but you also had to give the rest of the money to us free. Thank you so much! We are all comrades! Don't be so polite next time!"

"Otherwise I will criticize you again!"

As Gu Zheng buttoned down his big hat like a firecracker, he held Chen Guoqing's hand tightly and sent it away.

Two shiny steel shoes disappeared from Chen Guoqing's hands and were Shun into Gu Zheng's arms.

"You see, it's getting late. That's what you mean. Let's talk later! See you later!"

Hua la... The evacuation of the three was also very orderly. Chen Guoqing, who was stunned, subconsciously waved her hand after Samantha left the market.

"Talk next time, Hei hei... Ah!! thief! My steel son!!"

Long memory?

Smile at you, it's not because you're cute.

……

The dark watermelon seeds were arranged neatly on the windowsill. Several of the fullest seeds were silently planted on the sand outside the wall by Aunt Liu.

The sweet taste of melon enriches Gu Zheng's thin taste buds and enables him to keep a happy smile all night in the devastation of the sea.

Here, one change a day, here, is operated by four people.

The summer heat in the new province always dissipates quickly and more briefly, but it symbolizes the autumn of life. It is carrying its own identity card to the challenge arena of three rooms.

In this receiving season, uncle he sees not only the harvest of melons and fruits in the wasteland they opened, but also the coming of a very long and material shortage winter.
