Mrs. Tan did not refuse this time. She looked at the big watermelon in the basin, put away her fan, and went straight to the washstand in the corner of the room to wash her hands and prepare to eat the melon.

As for Mrs. Liu, her eyes lit up the moment she saw the big watermelon.

She didn't bother to wash her hands, so she ran straight to the table, stretched her neck, and ran her fingers and eyes back and forth over each piece of watermelon in the basin, comparing them.

Yang Ruoqing saw Mrs. Liu's intention and directly reminded Mrs. Liu: "Fourth Aunt, you just don't wash your hands before eating. If you want to take the watermelon, please pick it up from the top. Don't pick and choose."

Mrs. Liu's mind was exposed, and she smiled without blushing. She picked up the top piece and squatted aside to take a big bite.

“Delicious, sweet and refreshing!”

She praised while eating, the black watermelon seeds stuck to her chin, and the red juice dripped down her cheeks and fell to the ground...

This eating appearance...is really like a little fairy, but it's the kind that touches the ground head first.

"It must be cool. I kept it in the well overnight just to cool down the heat," said Ms. Sun.

Ms. Liu nodded repeatedly.

After Mrs. Tan washed her hands, she came over to get some watermelon to eat.

But the old lady ate in silence and said nothing.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help teasing the old lady: "How are you, old lady? This watermelon was specially prepared for you by the third sister-in-law. I'm holding the corner of your clothes, and you don't want to praise this watermelon?"

Mrs. Tan looked at Mrs. Liu as if she were an idiot: "You can't stop your mouth even if you eat?"

Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes, lowered her head and continued to nibble on the watermelon in her hand.

It would be more practical to eat a few more pieces of watermelon, and I'm too lazy to follow the old lady's nonsense.

However, when Ms. Liu stopped talking nonsense, Ms. Tan took the initiative to speak out.

"This watermelon is okay. It has few seeds and is easy to eat!" said the old lady.

Mrs. Sun's face was filled with astonishment. After the astonishment, it was a surprise.

The old lady actually praised me?

Yang Ruoqing also smiled, "This is a seedless watermelon from Qing'an County. The price is two or three times more expensive than the small watermelon here."

"Ah?" Mrs. Tan frowned, immediately turned down her face, and scolded Mrs. Sun: "You don't know how to live!"

Sun was embarrassed.

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said: "Nai, I bought these watermelons. I gave two of them to my mother."

Tan glanced at Yang Ruoqing again: "That's what I said about you!"

"Are you talking about me?" Yang Ruoqing pointed to her nose: "I don't know how to live?"

Before Ms. Tan could open her mouth, Ms. Liu said first: "Ouch, old lady, you are really worrying too much. The Luo family is not short of money. Not to mention that this watermelon is two or three times more expensive. Even if it is ten times more expensive,

Even Qing'er can afford to eat twice as much watermelon!"

Mrs. Tan curled her lips, "No matter how rich you are, you still have to spend your time. Now that we have two more sons, we will have a lot of expenses in the future!"

Yang Ruoqing took over the conversation with a smile: "My grandma is right, I will take it easy next time. Come on, eat melon, eat melon, everyone eats melon."

Mrs. Tan: "This melon is not bad. Shall I... have another piece?"

Sun and Yang Ruoqing each took a piece and presented it to Tan.

"Milk, open your belly and eat it, it's enough!"

Mrs. Tan nodded and ate the cool watermelon. Looking at the scorching heat outside the house, Mrs. Tan sighed and began to feel sorry for Lao Yangtou again.

"I don't know what's going on with your father right now. He's been in the county town for seven or eight days, and it's time to come back..."

"On such a hot day, we feel comfortable at home, eating watermelon and gossiping. Your father suffers because he can't eat watermelon..."

"Mom, what you said is what you said. I asked you to go to the county with my second brother and the others that day to accompany my father. You refused to go, and now you are feeling sorry for my father again. Oh my, you are so hypocritical..."

Yang Ruoqing used a spoon to scrape the sweet water from the watermelon and feed it to Tuan Tuan and Yuanyuan, while teasing Mrs. Tan.

Tan glared at Yang Ruoqing, "I'm too lazy to talk to you!"

"Besides, I don't feel sorry for him. I feel sorry for him. I'm just too comfortable to talk about it casually!"

Yang Ruoqing smiled and said nothing.

Anyone with eyes and ears can see that this old lady and old man are so good now that only newlywed couples can compare with them.

"Nai, don't worry. In my restaurant, there is even ice in the room. Are you worried that there will be no watermelon for my father to eat?" Yang Ruoqing asked.

"Besides, the restaurant also has iced sour plum soup, white fungus and lotus seed soup, lemons, oranges, lychees, and various fruits..."

"Grandma, don't worry about me. I guarantee that when he comes back from the county, he won't lose weight, he will only gain weight."

Mrs. Tan curled her lips in embarrassment, "What does it have to do with me whether he is fat or thin? I don't care about that!"

Yang Ruoqing shook her head. The old lady was so stubborn.

…

Everyone ate the watermelon to their satisfaction, and the two children were tired of playing.

Yang Ruoqing placed the two of them in a cradle nearby to sleep, and took a cattail fan to fan them next to them to drive away mosquitoes.

Ms. Liu was sitting on the other side, eating melon seeds, talking to Yang Ruoqing at one time or another.

Mrs. Sun was sorting out the watermelon rinds she had eaten, cutting them into cubes and putting them together.

Mrs. Liu asked Mrs. Sun: "Third sister-in-law, are you going to pickle this watermelon rind to make pickles?"

Sun smiled and shook her head: "No, I chopped it up and fed it to the chickens and ducks later."

Ms. Liu clicked her tongue and said, "Sister-in-law, it's so good to be your chicken and duck, and you can even eat these watermelon rinds in the summer."

Sun smiled.

Tan was about to leave when he heard this and paused.

The old lady turned around and asked Sun with a smile: "Do you still have room in your chicken coop?"

"Ah?" Sun didn't realize the meaning of Tan's words for a moment.

Mrs. Tan pointed at Mrs. Liu: "She is jealous of the treatment of your chickens and ducks. If there is room, leave one for her so that she can enjoy it too!"

Mrs. Sun understood now.

Mrs. Liu also understood.

As for Yang Ruoqing, she could only smile and wink at Mrs. Liu, hoping that she would pretend not to understand.

Mrs. Liu had already opened her mouth to reply, but when she saw Yang Ruoqing's eyes, she held back.

Fortunately, Ms. Tan didn't continue to argue. She stopped when she saw fit, patted her round belly, and walked out of the main room with her head held high.

Mrs. Liu said: "Qing'er, I really gave you face just now. Those words have already reached the corner of my mouth! I really gave you face!"

Yang Ruoqing nodded repeatedly with a smile in her eyes: "Yes, yes, you give me face, you give Tuan Yuanyuan face, we are afraid of waking them up, we all know it!"

After being reminded like this, Mrs. Liu realized that the two children were indeed sleeping. If there had been a quarrel just now, it would have been common for adults and the children would have been frightened.

But Mrs. Liu would not admit that she had not thought carefully. Instead, she followed Yang Ruoqing's words: "That's necessary. Don't look at who I am. I must feel sorry for these two little guys!"
