471 Five Big Watermelons
The next day, after picking all the strawberries and tomatoes that could be picked, she asked Jinshan and the others to bring them to the town along with the ice. Then, Jiang Yue said that she wanted to take a look at the watermelon field.
Xue Yan didn’t say a word, he just went to carry a basket.
Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows.
Was he smart, or did he understand her too well?
The two of them came to the watermelon field. There were watermelon vines everywhere. Some watermelons were so big that they were exposed. In one acre of land, there were many watermelons that were growing particularly well.
In general, after a watermelon seedling grows, it could bear three to five watermelons.
At that time, they had asked Chunmei to help them buy more than 500 watermelon seedlings. In other words, they were going to have more watermelon than expected! With a quick calculation, they roughly knew how many watermelons there were in this one acre of land.
The watermelon seedlings that Jiang Yue cultivated in her space were large and medium sized fruits. Some watermelons were really big, and they could be seen in a short time.
However, they were probably not mature yet and would take a few days for it to ripen.
Some watermelons were smaller, but they would grow soon enough.
The watermelon stalks and watermelons were growing very well. If one wanted to enter this land, they had to be extra careful. Otherwise, they might step on the watermelon stalks or watermelons.
“I’m going to go and take a look, I’ll be back in a while.” Jiang Yue said.
“Yes.” Xue Yan didn’t ask her what she was going to do. There was no one around, so he let her do whatever she wanted. Then, he carefully entered the watermelon field and looked at the watermelons.
When he encountered a huge watermelon, he doubted if he could even carry it.
He bent down and knocked on it. The sound was not very clear, but very dull. This was an unripe melon.
If such a large watermelon was not ripe, it was clear that there were other watermelons that were the same.
It was true that a few more days were needed.
Seeing that Xue Yan had gone into the watermelon field to look at the watermelons, Jiang Yue turned around and went behind some trees. The grass was tall here, and although the trees weren’t very big, they were still over a meter tall, which was enough to cover her completely. Besides her and Xue Yan, there was no one else in the field, so she entered her space with a peace of mind.
She hadn’t entered her space since yesterday. She picked the last tomato and planted the last watermelon seed when she was there.
It had been a day, and the watermelons should have grown well.
Sure enough, as soon as she entered, she saw that on that small piece of yellow soil, there was a very pleasing watermelon plant. The vines of the watermelon plant were all connected to the black soil, and on the vines, there were exactly five large watermelons.
This watermelon plant had completed its life, just like the strawberries and tomatoes planted on it before. Naturally, she was not surprised.
The five watermelons were already ripe and could be picked to eat.
The surface of each watermelon was very glossy.
Jiang Yue had already thought about it. She would pick one and pretend that she had picked it from the ground to see if it was familiar. If they were ripe, she would come back to the watermelon field tomorrow to see if there were any watermelons like this that she could pick. Then, she would pick the rest of the watermelons in her space and bring them back.
Jiang Yue only came out of the space after taking a watermelon with her.
Then, she walked out from behind the grass tree.
Xue Yan was bending over to check the watermelons in the watermelon field. There were too many watermelons. He didn’t know where Jiang Yue had planted the watermelon seedlings, but they seemed to be growing well. Some watermelons were so big that he didn’t even have a place to step on, for fear of accidentally stepping on something he shouldn’t.
