Grandpa is not called Cuihua

One day, Su Mo was reading in the bamboo building, but Lan Hua hurriedly called her back—"Little brother, hurry up, big sister is back."

Su Mo was taken aback, he had been here for so long, this was the first time he had heard of Osmanthus fragrans, his titular elder sister.Last time when Peach Blossom painted flowers, he drew sweet-scented osmanthus. At that time, he wondered why he had never seen the eldest sister before, but it was inconvenient to ask.

"Stupid child, how come you don't know how to call someone when you see your eldest sister?"

Seeing her son coming back, Xiu Niang just stood quietly, wiped the corners of her eyes, and forced a smile.Her poor daughter thought she was a good family before marrying, and she no longer has to suffer with her family, who would have thought——

"It's no wonder. I haven't been back for two years. My brother was still young at that time, so it's okay not to recognize him."

Osmanthus fragrans also had red eyes, trying to force a smile and think about what happened to her, but she couldn't.Looking at my younger brother again, she has grown taller than when she left home, and her complexion has improved a lot.This is the only thing that comforts her recently.

"Mother, big sister, what's the matter with you?"

As soon as Su Mo came back, she felt that the atmosphere was not right. The mother and eldest sister had obviously cried.Look at the eldest sister Osmanthus fragrans, the hairpin is a very ordinary wooden product, the clothes are not old, and her face is tired, she must have not lived well in her mother's house.

In fact, although his elder sister is not as bright and beautiful as peach blossoms, she has the delicate beauty of Xiaojiabiyu, and her gentle temperament is very comfortable. Su Mo liked it at first sight.

"Your elder sister, she was divorced by her husband's family."

As Xiuniang said, she couldn't stop crying, what will happen to the sweet-scented osmanthus in the future!

"What? Why?"

When Lan Hua heard it, she almost jumped three feet high, no wonder the elder sister came back crying all the way.

"Your elder sister has been in the family for three years, and she only gave birth to one daughter. There are three unfilial acts, and having no offspring is the greatest—" Although the husband's family is harsh, the reason for divorce is justified.

"..."

Now, even Lanhua stopped talking, isn't the situation at home the same?If it weren't for the addition of a younger brother, the Su family would be looked down upon in the village.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it, I just blame my bad life and my stomach is not up to date." Osmanthus cheered up and waved at the two younger brothers and sisters, "I didn't bring anything when I came back. I'll give you this bag of melon seeds. Consider it a gift."

Su Mo took a palm-sized bag, which was rarely tied with a ribbon, so the contents must be very unusual.It's just that the elder sister said it was "melon seeds", so it shouldn't be what I thought, right?

Seeing that he was walking slowly, Lan Hua got impatient for a long time, so she opened the pocket and poured out the contents carefully.

"Ah, it's actually cold melon seeds. I saw them once at the village chief's house."

Su Mu watched from the side, and it was really difficult to make an expression of surprise like Lan Hua, because what she held in her hand was a handful of watermelon seeds.Whether it is the shape or the color, it is undoubtedly a watermelon seed.Third sister, is she making a fuss too much?

"The Zhou family will buy one occasionally, and I don't eat it often..."

Osmanthus fragrans was a little embarrassed. As the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family, she was not treated very well, and the chances of eating cold melon were very few. She saved up such a small bag for two years.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, Su Mo couldn't help but ask in person, is watermelon still something special here?

"By the way, my mother made new clothes a few days ago, and the eldest sister will keep them for you!"

Seeing the elder sister frowning, Su Mo racked her brains to make her happy, suddenly remembered this, and hurriedly reminded her.

"Originally, I thought about entrusting you, Uncle Zhao, to send it—" Unexpectedly, you came back...

Xiuniang got up and took out the new clothes from the house. She hadn't seen her daughter for two years, so she was trying to figure it out, not sure if it would fit or not.

"It's so beautiful. The second sister's craftsmanship is getting better and better. This sweet-scented osmanthus repair is just like the real thing."

Osmanthus touched the new clothes over and over again, tears almost fell down again, since she gave birth to her daughter, she began to be looked down upon at Zhou's house, and it was rare to add new clothes.It is said that the water splashed by the married daughter, the mother still thinks about herself...

"Sister, you will live at home from now on, and no one will dare to bully you again."

Lan Hua clenched her fists, if that scumbag brother-in-law was here, she would give him a good beating.

"Yes, sister, don't worry!"

Su Mo also promised that after his father left, he would be the only "man" in the family, and of course he had to protect his family.

Although, it is still a little difficult to implement now!

"This cold melon came from the west, and it is not grown in our country. The distance is far away, and it is not easy to preserve. This kind of cold melon is rare and expensive. Some cold melons can even be sold for one tael of silver."

Shen Qinghe took a sip of tea, and told the ins and outs of the cold melon in detail. He used to eat this kind of thing often, so he didn't think there was anything unusual about it.

"Have you tried planting?"

It was only then that Su Mo suddenly realized, no wonder, but he didn't believe that with such huge profits, no one would try planting.

"Of course there is, but I don't know why. Many people have tried, but they can't always succeed. In order to keep selling cold melons to us, the people of the Western Kingdom have kept the planting method secret..."

Shen Qinghe continued, but, why did this child suddenly ask about Hangua?

"If, I can successfully plant—"

Su Mo muttered to himself, the more he thought about it, the more feasible it became.He knows the whole set of watermelon planting methods by heart, thanks to his cousin who is engaged in agricultural research, who happened to mention the latest experiment on watermelon while eating watermelon, and then explained the whole planting process I said it again.

At that time, he didn't want to listen, but because of helplessness, who made his cousin commit the "old problem" again, and actually regarded himself as a student, and asked questions after the lecture...

In an instant, he seemed to see countless silver coins flying in front of his eyes with wings, and he could grab them as long as he stretched out his hand.

"Okay, don't dream, you are a child—"

Although Su Mo's voice was not loud, Shen Qinghe heard it clearly, and poured cold water on him mercilessly.In his opinion, this kid just wants to make money and is crazy...

"I--"

Su Mo wanted to argue, but found that he had no way to talk about it. It seemed that he could only use facts to prove that he was not wishful thinking.

"Little brother, you look very happy today, what happy things can you tell me?"

At the dinner table, Lan Hua saw that the corners of her younger brother's mouth were always upturned, which is really rare.

"It's nothing. My husband said that my illness has improved a lot, and I won't need to take medicine in the future."

Su Mo smiled and said, speaking, this is really great news.Those bitter traditional Chinese medicines can finally say goodbye.Of course, what made him happiest was thinking of a way to make a fortune.However, it is not yet known to the family.

How can a child grow melons?It is bound to arouse suspicion, and he hasn't figured out what kind of reason to find.

What's more, he was only talking on paper and only knew the theory. He had never even touched a hoe before, so it might not be easy in practice.If it doesn't succeed, wouldn't it make everyone happy with Kong Kong?

"It's really good news." Even Osmanthus osmanthus's worried face has been diluted by this news. In the past, the younger brother took medicine and took up most of the money, but now he is fine... After she came back, she undoubtedly added a burden to the family. , there will be more places to use silver in the future...
