"Can't we eat them either?" Looking at the angry Du Mengnan, Zhao Xinyu didn't know how he ended up saying such a teasing remark.

Du Mengnan's face turned even redder. She instinctively raised her hand to push Zhao Xinyu, but her foot slipped, and she fell towards him.

Zhao Xinyu instinctively caught Du Mengnan, and his hands felt a soft, squishy sensation.

Du Mengnan's body trembled. When she finally stood up, her face was bright red. From a young age, she had never let any man touch her, except for family. Now, ...

Under normal circumstances, she would have been furious and would have already taken action, but this time, she felt only shyness, no disgust or aversion.

"Of course you can eat what you planted. It's settled, all the sweet melons are mine, at the current market price, twelve yuan per pound."

Zhao Xinyu was slightly stunned. Although he had made a lot of money recently, he didn't really know the price of melons. It wasn't that he was stingy, but he had developed a habit over the years.

"How do you tell if a watermelon is ripe?" Du Mengnan walked into the melon field.

"Watermelons are different from sweet melons. If there's dew, look at the dew. A watermelon with dew all over it isn't ripe yet, but if the dew is spotty, it's ripe."

"What if there's no dew?"

A light tap, and if the watermelon vibrates, it's ripe.

"You know a lot."

Zhao Xinyu shook his head, "Everyone who grew up in the countryside knows this."

"Zhao Xinyu, is this watermelon ripe?"

Zhao Xinyu was taken aback. He had checked yesterday, and the sweet melons were just ripe. In his imagination, the watermelons would still need about ten days. If any were ripe, they would be the root melons, but he remembered moving all the root melons.

When he walked over, he chuckled, "You're a quick learner."

Du Mengnan gave him a big eye roll, bent down, and picked the watermelon. "If the watermelon isn't good, I'll return it."

Zhao Xinyu laughed and went to get a knife to cut the melon. When the watermelon was cut open, a faint fragrance spread, and Du Mengnan's eyes lit up.

However, when the watermelon was cut in half, Du Mengnan was stunned again. The flesh wasn't the blood-red or golden-yellow she remembered; it was silver-white. Even the juice that flowed out was silver-white and extremely viscous.

"Unripe," both Du Mengnan and Zhao Xinyu were surprised.

Zhao Xinyu cut a small piece and was about to taste it when Du Mengnan had already taken it, biting a small piece. She couldn't help but hum, her eyes widening in surprise.

The watermelon melted in her mouth, sweet and cool, making her pores open and giving her an indescribable comfort.

"Ripe, delicious." Du Mengnan couldn't resist taking another bite, muttering.

Zhao Xinyu cut the other half of the watermelon, took a small piece, and his eyes lit up. As Du Mengnan said, the watermelon was indeed delicious, sweet like honey but not cloying.

After ten minutes, the two of them had eaten a seven or eight-pound watermelon clean. Du Mengnan wiped her mouth and looked at the melon field. "Let's find a few more, and I'll take them home later."

Sure enough, they found three more ripe watermelons in the melon field. When Zhao Xinyu carried the watermelons and sweet melons to send Du Mengnan off, she noticed that Zhao Xinyu was walking normally, which left her deeply impressed.

Once given a death sentence by doctors, he had managed to survive, but was left with a lifelong disability. The recovery of his face had already surprised her, but now his lame leg had also recovered, which completely颠覆了杜梦娜的认知。

这一天因为甜瓜,鹏程酒店再次成为人们热议的话题。根据食客们的描述,大家都想尝尝那种连舌头都能咽掉的甜瓜到底是什么味道。

赵新宇不太关注网上的事情,但韩立他们却不同,他们很快知道了甜瓜的事情。

不过听到鹏城酒店以十二元一斤的价格预定了院中的甜瓜,他们都感到惊讶。要知道现在市场价格也就是十二元,但全部以这样的价格预定,这是他们没有想到的。

这天晚上,一干人正在简易房前面吃饭,黑风突然转头对着大铁门狂叫起来,韩立皱了皱眉头起身道:“你们吃,我出去看看。”

片刻之后,赵新宇他们听到韩立的怒吼声从黑暗中传来,“你们干什么?”

所有人的脸色一变,他们放下碗筷快步朝大门那边走去,赵新宇也起身将院中的灯打开。

大门口,七八个满身酒气、穿着花里胡哨的年轻人每人手里拿着一个袋子,正在摘西红柿、黄瓜,一个中年人斜靠在大门上,大口吃着西红柿,不断嘟囔着多摘一点。

“赵世明,你这是什么意思。”韩天亮怒声道。

赵世明将吃了一半的西红柿丢进菜地,扫了韩天亮他们一眼,目光落在随后跟过来的赵新宇身上。

“赵新宇是吧,你用我的水,我吃你几个西红柿、黄瓜怎么了,对了,正好你们都在,我就直接说了,你这大院的蔬菜长成这样也是因为有我的水,以后每天我会让人过来摘点蔬菜,不多,每样两百斤,另外你这蔬菜用水量增加,一个月再给我一千,不,两千块的水费。”

听到这话,赵新宇脸色一沉,冷冷一笑,“赵世明,种菜那会儿给过你三千的水费,当时你可是说好了那是一年的水费,再说我种的菜为什么白给你?”

赵世明脸色一寒,摇晃着走向赵新宇,“小瘸子,别TM的给脸不要脸,老子吃东西什么时候花过钱,现在老子改变主意了,每种蔬菜五百斤,水费一个月五千。”

“赵世明,你不去抢啊,整天坑蒙拐骗,你也算是个男人。”这下年轻气盛的韩立忍不住了,上前一步指着赵世明就骂。

刚才一开门,赵世明就让跟着他的那些小痞子摘菜,本来都是一个村的,韩立也就忍了,但现在赵世明这样说话,这明显就是讹诈,韩立他们如何能接受。

韩立这一骂,赵世明勃然大怒,他反手一个耳光抽向韩立,“小王八蛋,你TM敢骂老子。”

韩立一歪头,伸手抓住赵世明的胳膊,一下将赵世明摔倒在地,那些小痞子看到老大挨揍,他们马上扔掉袋子冲了过来。

他们这一动,韩军他们不干了,双方瞬间扭打在一起,几个醉汉哪里是年轻力壮的韩立他们的对手,几秒钟他们都被打倒在地。

这也是赵新宇一直按着黑风,如果不是赵新宇按着,赵世明他们早就被黑风给收拾了。

赵世明从地上爬起来,擦了擦鼻血,指着赵新宇,“从明天开始你TM的就别想再用老子一滴水,韩军、韩立,你们给老子等着,这个仇不报,我誓不为人。”

等赵世明他们离开,韩天亮看了眼韩军他们,“你们也太冲动了,赵世明是什么人你们又不是不知道,别人躲他还来不及,你们现在……以他的性格今天晚上就能把水管给你挖断。”

“爹,我们也是没忍住,他这明显就是讹钱,一个月五千水费,他这和抢有什么区别,这次要是给了他,下次他更是狮子大开口,他这是眼红新宇。”

韩天亮微微叹息一声,“现在谁不眼红新宇,村里人现在院子都种满了蔬菜,我听说有几家也要在你们附近开菜圃,这蔬菜正值用水的高峰,这如果断了水,蔬菜就完了。”

“韩爷爷,臭水沟的水已经清理完了,明天您看看那个泉眼的位置,先让他们把泉眼挖出来,陆明明天购买水泵。”

韩天亮点点头,“也只能这样做了,不过赵世明那个人就是个无赖,他们不敢对韩军他们怎么样,但肯定会对新宇进行报复,所以你一定要小心一点。”
