Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine

Chapter 303: Don’t eat the watermelon seeds, spit them all out.

As soon as the watermelon was cut open, a fresh and rich sweet aroma instantly spread out. The children gathered around the table could not help but marvel.

Yunxi: "So sweet!"

Yun Le'er: "It turns out that the green watermelon is red inside!"

Yun Chenxing was secretly delighted, watching his brothers and sisters drooling with greed. He had eaten watermelon yesterday, and the cold one was even more delicious than this. However, he promised his sister that he would keep it a secret and not tell Brother Xi and the others.

Yun Duo cut three large watermelons in a row and said, "Come and eat!"

Yun Xi couldn't wait to pick up a piece and started eating it, forgetting to spit out the seeds.

Yun Duo looked at the children who were wolfing down their food and reminded them, "Don't forget to spit out the seeds."

Only then did the children remember that their task was not to eat the watermelon, but to collect the watermelon seeds. Several children slowed down embarrassedly and carefully spit out the watermelon seeds.

Yun Duo didn't notice and Yun Yi ate the watermelon rind: "Sister Duo, red watermelon is sweet, why is the white one not sweet anymore?"

"Eat the red flesh. The rind cannot be eaten and can be fed to horses."

Yun Yi nodded, threw away the melon rind, then picked up another piece and continued eating.

"Aunt San, watermelon has a cold nature so just eat two pieces. Don't eat too much." Liu Ye nodded.

The three big watermelons were divided into two pieces for each person, and Yun Duo asked Yun Teng to cut a few more. The whole family and the guards all ate until their stomachs were full.

It was too late to eat too much, so Yun Duo didn't cut any more. "Second Grandpa, there are about a hundred watermelons in those bags in the corner, and there are about a hundred more at my place. I'm afraid we can't finish them in three or four days. After all, this thing can't be eaten as a meal."

"Sister Duoer, this watermelon is so delicious. I will not eat rice tomorrow and will just eat watermelon." Yunxi's cheeks were bulging with food and she looked so cute when she spoke!

Yun Duo touched his head and said, "Silly brother, you can't eat too much of this, or you'll get a stomachache."

She roughly calculated that there were about 200 to 300 seeds in a watermelon. She originally planned to plant 100 acres of watermelon. One acre of land could grow about 300 to 400 seedlings, so she would need to use about 200 watermelons as seeds. They had limited time and had to get the seeds out as soon as possible. The people in his family might not be able to do it.

"Mom, can you trust the personal guards my uncle gave you?" Yun Duo asked Li Xiuxiu.

Your uncle said that those ten guards were trained by your grandfather himself and are completely trustworthy.

Yun Duo nodded and said, "Go and call Li Ming and others in this life."

Soon, Li Ming, Li Liang and ten other guards came over. After entering, they greeted Li Xiuxiu, Yun Duo and the Yun family members and said, "Miss, young lady, please tell us what you need."

"Li Ming, you are the captain, right? I have a very dangerous task that needs to be kept secret. I would like to ask the ten of you to do it for me. Please think carefully about it. This is a very dangerous task. If you are afraid of danger, you can withdraw. I will give you money to go home and reunite with your family. I will not blame you."

"I am the captain. The ten of us are all Li family guards. The Li family is our home, and the young lady is our master. We are all members of the Li family, regardless of life or death. We will never back down. Please give your orders, young lady."

"Miss and young lady, please give your orders!" all ten people said in unison.

"Okay, then close the door."

Li Ming thought the mission was very confidential and was afraid of being eavesdropped, so he closed the door carefully.

Yun Duo glanced at Yun Teng, who understood and took out a few more watermelons and put them on the table. Yun Yu cut the watermelons.

Li Ming and other guards were confused. Didn't they have a very dangerous mission? What did this mean? They smelled a sweet scent in the air and knew it was food. They looked at each other and understood that the young lady wanted them to have a good meal before she died.

Li Ming took the lead and picked up a piece of watermelon and started to eat it voraciously. The nine people behind him followed suit and were about to eat when Yun Teng stopped them: "Captain Li, wait a minute."

Li Ming didn't understand and thought the young lady had something else to say. He looked at Li Xiuxiu and Yun Duo, who was trying not to laugh.

Li Ming ate almost a piece of watermelon in big mouthfuls without spitting out a single seed. This made Yunhe very distressed: "Captain Li, your lady asked you to eat watermelon to collect watermelon seeds. Do you have to look like you are eating your last meal? Eat slowly, and don't let the watermelon seeds go into your stomach. Spit them all out."

The ten people looked at each other in bewilderment. It turned out that the young lady wanted them to come over to eat the delicious watermelon and collect seeds at the same time, which led to their misunderstanding.

The ten people relaxed their expressions at once and ate the watermelon slowly. "Miss, this watermelon is so delicious."

"If it tastes good, eat more. Don't forget to spit out the watermelon seeds. Remember to keep this watermelon a secret and don't tell anyone."

"Don't worry, young lady. I won't tell anyone."

The two branches of the Yun family, together with the eight guards and the ten personal guards of the Li family, finally ate all 200 watermelons in three days. They had enough seeds to plant 100 acres of land. But that's another story.

Yun Duo ordered his ten personal guards to feed the cows and horses with the watermelon rinds. After giving the orders, he returned to the tent to rest.

After returning to the tent, he entered the space. Fortunately, his grandfather left her a message in the space today, telling them that he and Yunxiang were doing well and were currently in the palace. It was not appropriate for them to stay in the space for a long time, so he should not worry about them.

She felt relieved when she saw the message from her grandfather. Since her grandfather was fine, she was no longer in a hurry to go to the capital. She stayed here for two more days and then took her mother over.

She asked Jinsheng to send a message to Tianying, asking them to check Caiyunhui and Haihui Restaurant and the mysterious owner. If it was really her great aunt, she would take her mother to visit her and confirm her doubts.

She left a message for her grandfather in her space, telling him that she would go to the capital again in three days. She did not tell her grandfather about Cai Yunhui and Haihui Restaurant. She would wait until she had found out the truth before telling him, so as to prevent her grandfather from being disappointed.

The people in Xiangyun New Village are busy reclaiming wasteland and planting crops.

In the study of the Zhennan General's Mansion far away in Nanling, Li Wencheng took the carrier pigeon from the guard, took out a piece of letter paper from the small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg, opened it and took a look, then said to the guard beside him: "Go and give this to the madam."

Li Pin took the note, clasped his fists and nodded, then turned around and prepared to leave.

"and many more!"

Gift turned around and asked: "General, do you have any other instructions?"

"This general will go there in person!" He took the note from Li Pin's hand and walked towards the hospital.

When the maids saw the general coming, they all saluted.

"Is the old lady in the bedroom or in the living room?"

"General, the aunt and the eldest lady are here. The old lady is talking to them in the small hall." The maid Chunni answered respectfully.

In the small hall of the main courtyard, Gao Shuzhen was showing a few portraits to Li Wenhui, and the two sisters-in-law were commenting on them as they looked at them.

Ji Furong sat aside and watched quietly the interaction between her mother-in-law and aunt.

"What are you talking about so happily?"

Seeing Li Wencheng coming in, Li Wenhui and Ji Furong hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"No need to be polite, just sit down!" Li Wencheng said and walked to the main seat and sat down. The servant served tea and then stepped aside.

Gao Shuzhen recently had news of having a daughter, and she was in very good spirits. She smiled and said softly: "It's all for my sister. The matchmaker recently sent a few good candidates to help her choose a future husband."

"How about it? Do you like any of them?" Li Wencheng asked Li Wenhui.

Li Wenhui gave Li Wencheng a helpless look: "Brother, please take care of my sister-in-law! I am already this old, isn't it nice to be a grandmother at home? Why should I go through so much trouble to be someone else's second wife, stepmother, or stepgrandmother?"

"Hahaha, if my sister doesn't want to get married, it's okay for her to be an old lady at home." Li Wencheng felt very comforted when he saw his wife and sister talking like real sisters.

"Brother, what do you mean by old aunt? I'm only 42, not old."

Ji Furong looked at her mother-in-law and aunt with a smile: "Aunt, you don't look old at all, you look like a girl in her twenties."

Ji Furong's words were not really a compliment. Li Wenhui had been lying in a vegetative state for more than ten years, but she didn't look that old. She was 42 or 43 years old, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say she was around 30.

Li Wenhui said to Li Wencheng in a chastised tone: "See? I still like to listen to my niece's wife. Don't even think about kicking me out! I will be supported by my nephew and niece's wife from now on."
