59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

After getting up, having breakfast, Hu Bayi sent Chen Li to school.

When passing by the supply and marketing cooperative, the shameless little foodie once again used the trick of "no school if you don't treat me to popsicles".

"Brother Bayi, I want to eat popsicles."

The little girl looked at Hu Bayi, waiting for him to refuse and then make trouble.

Hu Bayi looked at the gate of the supply and marketing cooperative in front of him.

The supply and marketing cooperative hasn’t opened yet!

"Little sister, don't look at me, look at the door."

Chen Li turned her head and saw that the supply and marketing cooperative was closed, her face full of anger.

"Auntie Guo is a big lazy bum, even lazier than my second brother!"

"Woohoo, my popsicle!"

After Hu Bayi sent the little girl into the classroom and talked with Zhu Lin for a while, he returned and went up the mountain with Chen Feng and the others.

Just like before, Chen Feng took them to climb the mountain for two hours, and then released wild boars, hares, pheasants and other prey, letting them chase and shoot.

The effect this time is better than last time.

Although the three teenagers were still very nervous, at least they would not shoot beyond their range.

Basically hit the target.

Three wild boars, two rabbits, and one unlucky pheasant.

The pheasant was so scared that it flew up, and was shot dead by Fatty Wang with a precise shot.

This guy's talent in shooting is higher than Chen Hao's martial arts talent and Hu Bayi's mathematical talent!

We had a meal of beggar's chicken and roasted rabbit in the mountains, and Dahei's family got a bargain again. We only cut off two pig heads and took the fattest one down the mountain.

When I returned home, I saw Niu Gengshen, Ye Jin, and Wang Chengdu were in their house. In addition, Director Wang from the street office was also there.

"Uncle Niu, Uncle Ye, Principal, hello."

"Good, good, good."

Three guests of different ages sat under the grape trellis, their eyes fixed on the sack on Chen Feng's bicycle.

Chen Li has returned from school and is playing in the swimming pool.

Hearing the sound of the big pot, she came out wearing a wet skirt with Zhu Zhu, Zhu Lin and He Yushui.

"Big pot, Brother Wang is here to send the ball."

Ball???

Chen Feng looked at Wang Cheng in surprise.

Wang Cheng smiled and said, "It's not a ball, it's a watermelon, Lily, watermelon!"

"It's a leather ball, round and green, just like the balls I bought from Daguo." The little foodie was very serious and pointed at the melon vine in the corner and said, "Melons are not like that. The green melons in my house are long."

There was little rain in July this year, which was not very friendly to rice, but it was more suitable for cucumbers, which prefer sunlight and temperature.

"Where's the ball?" Chen Feng said with a smile.

"I'm keeping cool in the cellar, waiting for you to come back." The old lady stood up with a smile and walked towards the storeroom.

"Wang Cheng, help Xiaofeng weigh the wild boar." Ye Jin ordered.

"Okay, uncle." Wang Cheng stood up with a smile and prepared to work.

They came here originally to deliver four watermelons to the Chen family, but unexpectedly the old man said that Chen Feng had gone up the mountain to hunt and should be back with prey in the afternoon.

Unfortunately, when they came to Chen's house, the news leaked out and attracted two powerful enemies.

"Brother Wang, how do we divide it?" Chen Feng smiled and held the butcher knife.

"Let me do it, let me do it!" Wang Cheng refused to let him do it, took away the butcher knife, and then cut the wild boar into pieces in the kitchen.

"Director Wang only needs one pork leg, and she will take it back and distribute it to the people in the street office."

Wang Cheng spoke as he divided the food.

"Director Niu wants a pig head and thirty kilograms of pork this time. Their factory wants to entertain guests, and the rest is ours."

"By the way, Xiaofeng, do you like watermelon?"

Chen Feng nodded. Of course he liked to eat watermelon.

Is it still summer if we don’t eat watermelon?

It’s oven day!

"Okay then. I'll go back and talk to my uncle and ask him to give you the watermelons that were going to be allocated to our purchasing department." Wang Cheng said with a smile.

This is the hidden benefit of each factory.

Even though Ye Jin, the deputy section chief, cut in the deal, maybe they should thank Ye Jin.

Each department has task targets, and the results of not completing them are different from those of completing them. Everyone else failed to complete them, but their department was the only one that completed them. This is not only due to merit and ability, but also due to many other benefits, which cannot be compared with a few watermelons.

Chen Feng got reasonable income and extra fruit, and they got credit and rewards.

It's a win-win!

"Okay, thank you, Brother Wang."

"Why thank me? I should thank you. My uncle's promotion this year is mostly due to your efforts. I have also become an advanced individual. Maybe I can be promoted to deputy team leader next year."

Wang Cheng is an honest man. He speaks the truth and doesn't play any tricks.

This is also the reason why Chen Feng likes to interact with them.

If it was Li Huaide, this guy would say something like "I specifically discussed and recommended this army upgrade with the factory director" and ask for a reward.

But in reality, personnel changes in the Security Section and Security Department, especially those at the level of deputy section chief and above, are decided by the relevant departments of the Armed Forces.

Chen Feng is not without thoughts, but he has thoughts in his eyes.

“Watermelon is coming!”

Fatty Wang and Chen Hao did not come to the kitchen, but ran to the warehouse, waiting for the old lady to take out the watermelon.

Hu Bayi followed the old lady downstairs and helped get the watermelon.

"Brother, why is it called watermelon? Isn't this a ball?"

"This is a melon. It's a very sweet melon. You can eat it directly."

"Oh, then, second brother, do you still have winter melon, pumpkin, and northern melon?"

"I have winter melon and pumpkin, but I haven't heard of pumpkin."

When the old man heard the word "beigua", he was stunned for a few seconds and then returned to normal.

"Okay, Lily, stop asking so many questions. You'll know after you eat winter melon."

"Old woman, just put it down and let Bayi come. He is not a child."

"Yes, grandma, I'll do it, you take a rest." Hu Bayi said attentively.

He often did what he could at the Chen family, such as going to the supply and marketing cooperative and Wangfujing to buy things, and washing dishes, sweeping the floor, and fetching water with Fatty Wang and Chen Hao.

Cut a big watermelon open and you will see that the rind inside is still very thick and contains quite a few seeds.

But the melon is indeed ripe!

The melons sent to the cannery are naturally ripe!

I just don't know if it will keep sweet!

"Brother, it's time to eat melon!"

"Brother Wang, let's go eat watermelon first."

Chen Feng pulled Wang Cheng out. If he didn't pull him, Wang Cheng, who was not at the right level, would not dare to go over at all.

"Big pot, eat melon!"

The little girl was the most active. Before Chen Feng came out, the little girl took two slices of watermelon in each hand and personally brought them to Chen Feng.

"okay."

Chen Feng took the two pieces and gave one to Wang Cheng.

Not bad, just the right amount of sweetness.

The watermelons grown in later generations have been cultivated in a way that is a bit too crazy, they are too sweet!

In addition, Chen Feng feels that the taste of seedless watermelons in the future will not be as good as it is now.

"This chilled watermelon is really good." The old man took a bite and praised, "It's just the right amount to cool you down."

"We are lucky thanks to the old man. My family also has a cellar. The ice we stored last year was used up last month." Director Wang also lives in the courtyard house, but her cellar is probably not as big as the Chen family's.

It is an old tradition in Sijiu City to store ice in winter and collect ice in summer.

"I wanted to dig ice last year, but it was too cold and tiring. I couldn't stand it for half an hour." Niu Gengshen said self-deprecatingly, "In the end, I gave up."

Getting ice is not an easy task, especially during the coldest times, when you have to go out to the park and dig out the thick ice that is thirty or forty centimeters deep.

The wind is strong in the north, and when it blows into your clothes, it feels so sour and refreshing!

That's why Chen Jianguo didn't call Chen Feng to go, for fear that he would be frozen to death.

Several people were eating melons and chatting under the grape trellis. The adults were sitting down to eat, while Chen Li, Chen Hao, Fatty Wang, and Hu Bayi were standing to eat.
