Chapter 492: Chapter 492 Jubilant Chapter 492: Chapter 492 Jubilant Don’t mention how impatient Chuner was; even Madam Xie was also somewhat anxious. She had washed the knife early and placed it on the dining table in the main hall, waiting for Big Bull and Xuexue to come back and cut the watermelon to eat.
It was no wonder Madam Xie was nervous. The family’s only two acres of land were all planted with watermelon, and they were counting on selling them to make money! If the watermelons didn’t taste good, then wouldn’t the past two months of hard work by their entire family have been in vain?
Big Bull carried the basket into the main hall.
Xuexue, Chuner, and Xiao Gougou closely followed behind him and walked in as well.
“Come on, quickly put the watermelon on the table.” Madam Xie had already been waiting in the main hall. Seeing them come in, she quickly stood up and said eagerly.
“Mother, how can you be more impatient than Chuner?” Ah Xue said with a smile, but actually, she was also nervous—it was her first time growing watermelons.
“Go on, you girl, stop teasing your mother.” Madam Xie waved her hand and spoke absentmindedly, her eyes fixed on the watermelon in the basket.
Big Bull took the watermelon out of the basket and put it on the table.
“Wow, this watermelon is really big,” Xiao Gougou exclaimed.
“Right? Didn’t I tell you my family’s watermelons are huge? You just wouldn’t believe it,” Chuner said proudly.
Xiao Gougou: “I believe it. Who said I didn’t?”
“You didn’t believe it yesterday.”
“I believe it now.”
“You’re cheating,” Chuner said crisply, pouting and looking unhappy.
“How am I cheating? The watermelon is so big in front of us, can I not believe it?” Xiao Gougou said, tugging at the hem of Madam Xie’s clothes and asking, “Auntie, am I right?”
The two little ones often bickered, but would soon be as close as ever; Madam Xie was used to it and laughed, “Right, Xiao Gougou is absolutely right.”
Chuner: “Mother, you’re biased.”
Madam Xie: “Silly girl, you’re my own daughter, how can I be biased.”
While everyone was making noise and quarreling,
It drew all the attention of Madam Xie, Chuner, and Xiao Gougou, causing them to even forget their quarrel.
“Wow! It’s so beautiful.” Chuner couldn’t help smacking her lips and said dazedly.
Big Bull was also stunned, looking at the bright red watermelon, so beautiful he didn’t know how to slice it.
In the end, it was Xuexue who took the knife from Big Bull’s hand, cut the watermelon into several pieces, handed a small piece to Chuner, and said with a smile, “Little girl, watermelon is meant to be eaten, not just looked at. Hurry and try it to see if it’s sweet.”
A few of them stared foolishly at the watermelon on the table, unable to stop looking, prompting Xuexue to remind them.
Madam Xie had farmed for dozens of years and had never seen any fruit with red insides; she was also extremely surprised.
Xuexue didn’t care about all that; she took a piece, brought it to her mouth, and gently bit off a small bite, chewed it, and enjoyed it with a facial expression that said, “Mmm…! So refreshingly sweet!”
After taking a few more bites, she noticed that everyone was still immobile, staring dumbfounded at her: “Why are you all staring at me? Hurry and eat?”
“Oh!”
Only then did everyone come to their senses and hurriedly grabbed the watermelon in their hands, imitating Xuexue’s actions, and took a bite.
“Wow, it’s really sweet! How can this watermelon be so delicious?” Chuner couldn’t stop after her first bite, bending her head down and continuously eating.
“Right, it’s too delicious,” Xiao Gougou said, holding the watermelon, also chuckling happily.
Big Bull was much calmer than them. He leisurely picked up a piece of watermelon, put it in his mouth, and bit into it. Instantly, a wave of sweetness spread over his taste buds, making him feel rejuvenated. He couldn’t help nodding, “Hmm, this watermelon really is good.”
