After that, everyone got busy.

Because the weather was hot, everyone sweated a lot when they worked and their clothes were quickly drenched.

As Li Xiaoran watched everyone, she felt that this couldn’t go on.

“Zi Zheng, there are watermelons planted in the farmstead, right? Get someone to pick a few and let everyone rest while eating watermelons. Get someone to be in charge of brewing cold tea and mung bean soup for everyone! The weather is so hot, so it’s very easy to get heatstroke. In the tuture, when everyone is working, try to avoid the hottest four hours in the afternoon. Leave for work early in the morning and wrap up later at night. Be flexible!”

Zi Zheng nodded and immediately arranged for people to pick watermelons.

After that, Li Xiaoran went to other places in the farmstead to take a look. After confirming that there were no problems, she left with Shu Ruyue.

Coincidentally, the people picking watermelons from the farmstead had returned. They insisted on letting Luo Cheng and the consort try the watermelons they had planted. Therefore, Li Xiaoran could only bring the watermelons back.

When Luo Cheng learned that Li Xiaoran had returned and saw the few big watermelons, he was immediately amused.

“Looks like the watermelons in the farmstead were planted quite well! Could it be that they picked the largest watermelon for us?!”

Li Xiaoran smiled when she heard Luo Cheng’s words.

‘Most likely! I didn’t want to accept them at first, but they stuffed them to me!”

Luo Cheng thought for a moment and said, “You guys went out for a walk and must be exhausted from the heat. Pick a watermelon and cut it into pieces.

Then, let’s try it together!”

After the others received the news, they immediately ran to the main hall and craned their necks as they waited to eat the watermelon.

Li Xiaoran thought of something and said, “Send the other watermelon to the shop! It’s been hard on everyone!”

“I’ll send it over now!” Zi Zheng thought for a moment and said, “It just so happens that Zi Yang and Changsheng are still over there! I’ll just go over there to eat!”

Luo Cheng nodded and asked Zi Zheng to bring the largest watermelon over.

After all, there were more people at the shop, so if they brought a big watermelon over, everyone would get some.

At this moment, Li Xiaoran was eating a piece of watermelon. When the sweet taste entered her stomach, her mood brightened.

“I really didn’t expect the watermelons planted in our farmstead to be so delicious! I think we should plant more next time. In the future, we can also sell the watermelons we planted ourselves at the fruit shop. This way, we can increase our income!”

Luo Cheng thought of something and said, “I remember that we’ve also planted a lot of watermelons! And it should be harvesting season for peanuts! The weather has been very hot recently, so we don’t have much of an appetite. Why don’t we go to the field and dig out some peanuts when it’s cooler later?!” “I want to go too!” Wu Qinghe immediately volunteered.

“Yes, yes, yes, I’ll go too! Speaking of peanuts, I like them too!” Xue Shanhui echoed.

“Heh, how can I, Shu Ruyue, be absent when there’s delicious food?! You have to bring me along to dig peanuts!” Shu Ruyue volunteered as she ate the watermelon.

Li Xiaoran said with a smile, “Don’t worry, all of you will be able to participate! It takes a lot of effort to pick, wash, and cook peanuts. You guys can’t slack off even if you want to!”

Luo Cheng thought of something and said, “Let’s send some peanuts to Father and Mother later! Also, let them try this watermelon!”

Li Xiaoran thought of something and said, “Let’s go take a look at the watermelons we planted in our own fields first! Why don’t we call Father, Mother, Grandpa, and Grandma over? They’ll definitely be happy when they see that the crops in the fields have harvested. That kind of happiness is better than anything!”

“Sure! If we go later, the sun won’t be so scorching. Besides, I remember that the peanut and watermelon fields are close to the mountains. There are many shady places there!” Luo Cheng felt that this was a good idea.

Li Xiaoran thought for a moment and said, “Why don’t you call the people from the shop over?! The weather is too hot, so let’s close the shop early today and let everyone come over to relax. Then. They can have more energy to work hard

tomorrow!”

Therefore, after Xue Shanhui ate a few watermelons, he went out to run errands.

When it was no longer so hot in the afternoon, a large group of people gathered at the Luo family’s house.

Zhao Sisi, who had been recuperating at home, was also carrying a basket.

Everyone from the shop carried a basket over.

“Are you guys planning to empty our land When Li Xiaoran saw everyone, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“I heard that there are watermelons, so we brought a basket to store watermelons!” Kang Zheng said what was on his mind.

“You still love eating watermelons as much as ever! Don’t worry, I’ll let you bring two back!” Luo Cheng teased Kang Zheng.

Luo Cheng told them about Kang Zheng’s secrets.

“One year, when we were fighting on the battlefield, we actually encountered a watermelon field that grew on its own. The watermelons inside grew well, so we picked a lot and brought them back. The general was afraid that this watermelon was poisonous, so he didn’t dare to share it with the soldiers. In the end, this kid cut the watermelon open and ate it. He even said that he was helping everyone test the poison!”

“After he ate three watermelons, he fell to the ground! Just as everyone thought that these watermelons were poisonous, this guy said that these watermelons were really too delicious and if not for the fact that his stomach couldn’t take it anymore, he could have eaten three more!”

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed.

Kang Zheng touched his head in embarrassment and wanted to defend himself.

“Those melons were so delicious that I couldn’t stop eating! After I finished the three of them, I realized that my stomach was so full that I couldn’t stand anymore, so I could only lie on the ground!”

As soon as he said this, everyone laughed even more merrily.

On the other side, He Hui and her family also came to the field.

As she listened to everyone’s words, she walked into the field.

“Look at these watermelon. They all look so nice!” He Hui’s eyes widened when she saw the melon field in front of her.

At a glance, there were countless watermelons lying in the melon field.

Their round appearances were really adorable.

“Oh my god, there’s really so many watermelons?!” Li Shun was also shocked.. The watermelons here were so well-grown!
