Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

Uh… Xue Yan was silent for a moment, then carefully came out of the watermelon field, unloaded the empty basket on his back, and put it on the ground.

Only then did Jiang Yue put the watermelon down and put it into the empty basket.

The huge watermelons almost filled the bottom of the basket.

!!

Xue Yan was silent for a while, then asked, “Is there any more? If there are more, I might not be able to carry them.”

“I’ll only take this one back today and pretend to check if it’s ripe. We’ll have to come back tomorrow. There are four more.”

“Okay.” Xue Yan heaved a sigh of relief and put the basket on his back. Jiang Yue subconsciously helped him, so it was easier for him to carry the basket.

The two of them then went home together.

On the way home, Xue Yan asked, “Is this a seeded one or a seedless one?”

“Seeded.”

Xue Yan nodded again.

When they got home, they pushed open the door to the courtyard. Xue Yan went in with the basket on his back, followed by Jiang Yue. After they entered, they closed the door.

“Xue Yan, what are you carrying? It looks quite heavy.” Xue Wufu immediately rushed over and looked into the basket. “Does it need to be so big?”

“What do you mean by that?” Xue Erfu had just poured the crushed inedible ice into a big pot and boiled it to produce saltpeter. When he heard this, he strode over.

Without waiting for Xue Erfu to come over, Xue Wufu carried out the large watermelons from his basket. “It’s a watermelon! A few days ago, I heard that the watermelons in our field are growing to be super big, but I didn’t believe it!”

During this period of time, Xue Wufu had been making ice at home. In the evening, he would pester Xue Erfu, Xue Sanfu, and Xue Sifu to teach him how to ride a horse. He hasn’t been to the fields recently, much less the watermelon fields, so he didn’t know how big they were.

Xue Erfu hadn’t been to the fields during this period of time, so when he saw the watermelon, he exclaimed, “D*mn, it’s really big.”

Yu Hongyan laughed and said, “Our watermelons are still the best. It’s all thanks to you guys for tending to them well. Otherwise, we wouldn’t get such a big one. Is the watermelon ripe yet?”

“I don’t know,” Jiang Yue replied. “We picked one to take a look at. If it is, we’ll pick another one like this next time.”

“True, true.” Liu Guixia also walked over with a smile. “This watermelon is really big.”

“Should we cut it now? I’ll go get the blade!” Xue Wufu was so excited that he wanted to take a knife and cut the watermelon to see if it was ripe immediately.

However, Xue Erfu grabbed the back of his collar and pulled him back. “What’s the rush? Even if it isn’t, it must be red inside. It’s definitely edible. Let’s use the ice water to cool it. When Sifu comes back, we can eat it together. Not everyone is here right now.”

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll go to town then.” Xue Wufu immediately went to wash the surface of the big watermelon, then put it in a wooden basin. He poured some well water and put some crushed ice in.

When Xue Sifu came back from town, he helped Xue Da over. Everyone then gathered around the big watermelon and started cutting it.

Liu Guixia cut it with a knife.

However, the knife only managed to cut a little before the melon split in half with a crisp sound. Without even looking inside, Xue Erfu and the others laughed, “It’s definitely ripe!”
