Springtime Farming: A Happy Wife At Home

92 Fifth Sister-in-law

Watermelons were not commonly-seen things. According to the original host’s memory, they only got two watermelons at home once and her parents regarded them as treasure.

Of course, those precious fruits were eaten by her parents, and the original host did not have the qualification of eating it.

But this time, she was going to eat everything!

The three of them trekked upto Wangqing Mountains, and then Qiao Xuan ‘accidentally’ found the wild watermelon seeds.

!!

The seeds were already budding, and there were many veins everywhere, tangled and spread over the ground.

They could tell that when the watermelons grow well, there would be many animals and birds flying all over.

Qiao Xuan said to Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao, “This is a very good thing. We can go back and plant some in the yard. They are called watermelons, round, red and swee. We can even sell them in the town. I am sure that everyone will buy it!”

Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao were not completely convinced by her words. But they were glad to hear that these seeds could be worth the while.

“That is great! Fifth Sister-in-law knows everything and we can earn money again!”

“Let’s dig out the seeds!”

The three of them worked together. Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao were very proficient in it.

It was a simple task, and Qiao Xuan helped too.

Soon, they got enough seeds within two hours.

Qiao Xuan left some for the animals in the mountains.

Surprisingly, they saw two mulberry trees next to the watermelon field.

It was a season when mulberry grew well, and many of the fruits had already shown up.

Birds loved the fruits, and there were only a few remaining on the trees.

Qiao Xuan’s eyes brightened and she said that those fruits could be eaten as well. Shao Xiaoqi and Shao Taotao trusted her completely. They picked the ugly-looking fruits and put them in their mouths. Instantly, their eyes brightened too.

“These are so sweet!”

“So tasty!”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “See, I was not lying to you, right?”

When the mulberries were picked, Qiao Xuan decided to bring some back home too. She could duplicate the trees.

Hence, they will receive many fruits next year. contemporary romance

Moreover, the extra mulberries could be used to make liquor.

The seeds were all gathered, tied up into several bunches, and put into the basket.

Since they were going to plant the seeds, they decided to go back earlier.

They spent two more hours in the mountains, where Shao Xiaoqi caught one rooster, and then they went to Rabbit Hill together.

“We can hunt two rabbits today and there is no need for more. I can just come here whenever you want to eat it!”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Qi, you should never come here alone. It is dangerous here. I need to be here with you, understand?”

Qiao Xuan was not bragging. There were dangerous zones in Wangqing Mountains as well. The reason why they never ran into danger was because Qiao Xuan could scan over the place and helped them avoid the dangerous zones within their nearby range. That is how they managed to escape from the beasts’ infested areas in the past.

What Qiao Xuan did not know was that Shao Xiaoqi was more capable than he displayed in front of others. He could escape even if he ran into wild boars or tigers.
