474 Impossible
There were so many watermelons on one acre of land. Who would have the time to find an extra fifteen?
By the time she picked the watermelons from these two seeds, the watermelons on the one acre of land would probably have started to ripen, which would be a perfect fit.
The four watermelons were too heavy for Xue Yan to carry home. Fortunately, he had picked some strawberries and tomatoes. He asked Jinshan to help him carry them when he arrived.
There were only four watermelons, which was not a lot. He cut a big watermelon on the table under the tree outside the courtyard and gave it to Jinshan and the others who were delivering ice. He even gave some to the children in the village, and the people who passed by. He asked Jinshan and the others to bring a large watermelon to Doctor Shen. He had promised Shen Yuxuan that he would give him a large watermelon. A large watermelon in Xue Yan’s name was given to the Pei family when Xue Sanfu delivered the ice. He gave a big watermelon to his eldest uncle’s family.
!!
Their relatives helped pick strawberries and tomatoes again, so the big watermelon was given to them as thanks.
In the blink of an eye, the seedless and seeded watermelons that Jiang Yue had planted in her space could be picked. She took out ten of them from her space and placed them in the watermelon field.
Then, she and Xue Yan pretended to pick the watermelons from the watermelon field, and carried them to several baskets on the side.
They were doing this because someone was working in the field not far away. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have to pretend like this.
While they were hugging the fruit, Jiang Yue whispered to Xue Yan, “Look at these watermelons. Those with black patterns are seedless watermelons. Only those with dark green patterns are seeded watermelons. The five watermelons that we brought home earlier also had dark green patterns.”
“I see.” Xue Yan nodded, then looked up at the watermelon field. The number of watermelons with dark green patterns was obviously less than that with black patterns.
In other words, most of the land was filled with seedless watermelons.
Not only did the seedless watermelons not have seeds, but they were also sweeter. She had told him that before she planted them.
After placing the 10 watermelons into the basket, Jiang Yue clenched her fist and expressionlessly punched the top-most seedless watermelon in the basket in front of her while no one was paying attention.
The watermelon split open in an instant.
A crisp sound was heard.
They didn’t need to look to know that the watermelon was ripe.
Xue Yan was speechless.
He lowered his head to look at his hand for a long time before he shook his head. He shouldn’t be able to mimic that.
“When the time comes, we’ll just say that we didn’t pick this up well at the beginning and knocked it on the ground by accident. That’s why it looks like this.” Jiang Yue said calmly. “This is a seedless watermelon. It’s cracked, so it won’t be sent to town to sell. Naturally, they’ll find out about the seedless ones first.”
“Alright.”
It was Jinshan and the others who came to help bring the watermelons back.
Xue Erfu heard the noise and knew that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan had returned from picking watermelons. He opened the door and strode out. “How many did you pick today?”
“Just ten.” Jiang Yue said.
“That many? We can send them all to the stalls to sell. Sifu was still talking about how only a few were ripe yesterday. He wouldn’t have enough watermelons to sell.” Xue Erfu laughed. He subconsciously lowered his head and wanted to help carry the watermelons onto the ox cart. He saw that one of the watermelons in one of the baskets had cracked. “Why is this watermelon broken?”
Before Jiang Yue and Xue Yan could answer, Jinshan and the others laughed and said, “Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were not careful. They didn’t pick up the watermelon well in the beginning. They must have knocked it on the ground and it cracked.”
