Chapter 165: To Change

“Wife, wife! I will really change this time !! ” When Wang Ergou saw that his wife had made up her mind, he almost fell to his knees. She sullenly continued in a soft voice, “I did this just because I noticed that you look tired from pregnancy and have no appetite, right? So... I want to pick this watermelon and ask you to try it.. ”.

A faint spark appeared within Ergou's dead-looking wife's eyes, and she growled furiously, “Basic stupid bastard! Do you think I can eat the watermelon you stole ?! ”

“I was wrong, I really did the wrong thing this time. My wife, I'm sorry for the last one this time !! ” Ergou’zi saw that his wife was still willing to leave him so he apologized deeply in hopes of understanding the reason. He was truly regretting his actions now!

Ergou's wife sniffed her nose a few times and said, “What are you apologizing to me for? Not that I lost anything. You should really apologize to Second Brother Yu! There wasn't much rain this year, so these two brothers, Xiaosha and Xiaocao, had transported water to the fields to irrigate them. You should know how difficult it is; you have seen it with your own two eyes. You should really apologize to these two brothers! Why do you think Second Brother Yu's family decided to plant a watermelon? The person you should be apologizing to is them, not me! ”

“Yes yes! Don't be angry, wife. I'll apologize, I'll apologize now! ” Wang Ergou soon turned into his wife's slave. If his wife says go east, she will not go west at all.

Wang Ergou lowered his head as he guiltily faced the Yu Family. He gently yet honestly said, “Second Sister Yu, forgive me! Brother, I am confused and stole your family's watermelon.I am willing to compensate you for this watermelon. Please forgive me..”

Yu Hai walked over and patted her on the shoulder, “I understand how you feel! When your second brother-in-law was pregnant with Xiaosha, she also did not have a good appetite. At that time, I slipped out of the house late at night to hunt in the hills to make your second sister-in-law a chicken broth to drink. A man who knows how to treat his wife well is a real man !! However, in the future, if your wife wants to eat watermelon, call us and do not hurt your wife's feelings again. Go and comfort your wife. It's no shame to bow in front of your wife! ”

Yu Xiaocao could not help but laugh. His father's love for his wife is evident from his words. Apparently, ah, he was destined to be a controlled person.

“You're back, Cao’er? Did your grandmother make you awkward? ” When Yu Hai heard his daughter giggle, his whole face was hot, yet he still asked carefully about her trip.

Fang Zizhen's laughter was even more prominent as he replied, “With me there, who would dare to bully our daughter? However, brother, I would never have expected that you are someone who treats your wife well ah! What you said is true! Treating your wife well is not at all embarrassing !! ” Wow! This is another man who spoils his wife!

Xiaocao sneered nonstop. Fang Zizhen felt embarrassed by his laughter and gently knocked on his head with a fist but then gently rubbed the part he hit with his hand.

Xiaocao spoke to Wang Ergou's partner, “In the future, if you want to eat watermelon, come and find me! This watermelon is not ripe yet, so it does not taste good! Come on, try our ripe watermelon here! ”

Wang Ergou could smell the sweet scent of watermelon from where he stood and quietly gulped down the saliva that was welling up in his mouth, “I don't need to eat anything! Give my wife two pieces to try .. yeouch! ” The pitiful Wang Ergou has just been pinched by his wife again.

Yu Xiaocao took out two sliced pieces of watermelon and gave them to her. She grinned, “Uncle Ergou, this watermelon is cold, so pregnant women can't eat too much. If they do, they may have a miscarriage! ”

When Wang Ergou heard his warning, his face immediately paled. He almost hurt his own wife; he was really too stupid! He earnestly apologized again to everyone in the Yu Family and promised that he would never touch their watermelon fields again!

“Uncle Ergou! Our family's watermelon will soon be ripe. Are you interested in taking some for sale in town or dock ah? ” Yu Xiaocao thought for a moment and realized that his family was short on manpower. With his cheat, mystic stone water, their melon fields would definitely yield a lot of results. Even good wine is afraid if there is no market. This was their first year trying to sell the watermelon, so she wasn't sure how it turned out. They can't let ripe watermelons just rot in the fields, can they?

“Eh? Sweet niece, what do you mean by this? ” Wang Ergou felt a little excited inside. His eyes brightened as he looked at Yu Xiaocao.

Yu Xiaocao smiled sweetly at him, “We will sell this watermelon to you at below market price, so you can sell it at market price in the city. That way, you can keep the difference. ”

Wang Ergou's eyes showed an excited yet emotional expression. He hesitated a little before he admitted, “Nephew ah, you also know what my family's situation is like, I'm afraid we don't have enough money now to buy it ..”

“No problem, first time you can take watermelon from my family then pay the bill after you sell the watermelon.” Wang Ergou would definitely not have enough money to pay for a watermelon for one wagon. Yu Xiaocao also thought about this matter.

Wang Ergou's lips trembled as he gently replied, “You ... You believe me?”

“Why don't I trust you? My father said before, any man who treats his wife well cannot be a bad person! ” Yu Xiaocao winked at him while teasing him, “It can be said, do I believe you or not, that is not the point, but how could I not trust Aunt Wang eh?”

“Ergou! This time you have to do a good job! Second Brother Yu's family trusts us and looks after us, so you really can't let them down! If, if you also slack off this time, then I will definitely.. ”.

Wang Ergou hurriedly grabbed his wife's hand and promised, “Wife, trust me !! I, Wang Ergou, will really do my best and not disappoint you, otherwise I will no longer be surnamed Wang !! And that kid can also get your last name !! ”

Wang Ergou had lost both his parents and he was an only child. When his father was on his deathbed, he held his hand but did not close his eyes. Only after he swore to take a wife and have a child did his father finally close his eyes in peace. Therefore, he was very attached to carry the surname. Therefore, when he said that his son could take his wife's last name, it meant that he swore seriously.

After they escorted the extremely grateful Wang Ergou couple, Yu Xiaocao and his family, along with Fang Zizhen, sat down to enjoy the sweetness of the watermelon.

Since they had used mystic stone water to irrigate their plants towards the end of spring, the Yu Family watermelon had matured before the regular season. In other words, the watermelon plants in the capital had just flowered on the vine while the Yu Family watermelon could all be brought to the market. Summer fruit becomes ripe in late spring, it is really out of season ah!

In his previous life, watermelon easily weighed over twenty catties, and that size was also not considered rare. However, Yu Xiaocao did not know that, in this era, the largest watermelon that could be seen was usually around ten catties. In addition, watermelon grown in ancient times had flesh alternating between red and white, and the white part was not edible. More than half of the watermelon should be thrown away when consumed, absolutely in vain!

As for the Yu Family watermelon, after being repaired by the mystical stone water, they were almost the same as those found in modern times. The white part of the melon meat, which is not edible, has completely receded and only the red part is available.

Of all the people here, only Fang Zizhen had eaten watermelon before. He was a rude person, so how could he possibly care about what a watermelon was like? In the past, the watermelon she ate had all been carefully prepared by her servants, who only gave her the edible parts. This was also the first time Fang Zizhen could eat watermelon that had been cut into pieces.

He took out a very thick piece and opened his mouth very wide to bite. Sweet and fresh juice flowed into his mouth. For someone who is thirsty, a refreshing cold and sweet juice is something that can quench thirst.

“Manic! So sweet!! It tastes a hundred times better than the watermelon I have ever eaten !! ” Fang Zizhen did not stop praising. The biggest reason is this: her daughter is the one who proposed planting watermelons and the watermelon is also being cared for personally by her daughter. However, this watermelon is really very delicious!

Yu Xiaocao gave each piece to Yu Hai and Madam Liu. At this moment, Little Shitou could no longer wait and impatiently picked up a piece. He licked his lips. His facial expression showed that he was eager to eat but could not bear it; it was quite adorable.

Xiaocao rubbed his head and also took out a piece. He lightly bit off a small mouthful and slowly chewed on it. He could not help but sigh in satisfaction, “Very sweet …

Little Shitou imitated her brother's method and also bit the small crescent moon of the watermelon. Her big and cute eyes immediately formed a smile. The juice from the watermelon dripped down his mouth, and he used his little pink tongue to lick it.

The Yu family usually couldn't even bear to buy sugar, so how could they eat something as sweet as this juice. They simultaneously ate while shouting out praise.

Fang Zizhen rubbed the piece quickly and placed the remaining skin in front of the small roe deer, who were staring at them pitifully. He then begins his second part. The little egg deer hurriedly lowered its head and gnawed at the thin skin on its skin. It was eating very happily.

Having been raised at home for more than half a year, the little roe deer, whatever the reason, still cannot get any bigger. The members of the Yu Family were all busy, so the little roe deer had been given a free distance. When hungry, he will eat the leaves that fall from vegetables. When thirsty, he will drink the water from a special bowl. The water had been specially prepared by Xiaocao and had a few drops of mystic stone water in it, which often attracted the attention of birds who wanted to steal it from deer.

Whenever the little egg deer got bored, he would run out of the yard and stroll around the old residence. The children of the Qian Family and the Zhou Family were all very fond of the creature and played with it. Sometimes, they even carried the animal in their arms. The little creature was smart enough and could tell if someone had good or bad intentions towards him. When meeting Qian Wu or another child who often played with her, she would obediently let that person carry her and would sometimes lick the palm of that person's hand. However, if he met someone who had bad intentions and wanted to kidnap him, he would run like the wind. Even a fast-running adult man would not be able to catch him.

Little egg deer most like to play with his other employer's pets —— little golden kitten. The little kitten had an irresistible smell on its small body. Usually, a little kitten will climb over his head and take a nap, while he obediently keeps his neck stable and slowly walks with the kitten on his head. If one was not careful, he might even believe that the little roe deer had a golden hat on its head, what a beautiful sight!

At this moment, the little egg deer excitedly gnawed at the skin of the watermelon. When Little Shitou noticed that her beloved pet also liked to eat watermelons, he left a thick layer of red meat on the skin of his cuts and even used a small knife to peel the skin and cut the meat into small pieces to put in a Tiny bowl. .

Had it been before, someone at home would have scolded him for wasting food. When they first separated from the main family, the entire family did not have enough food to fill their stomachs, let alone leave anything to feed the small roe deer. Back then, the little roe deer was also not picky and would eat grass and withered leaves as long as there was mystical stone water on it. Now, the state of the family is much better, so no one will reproach a child for feeding his beloved pet a little bit of melon meat.
