Chapter 32 The Watermelon Is Ripe

    In exchange for the lake fresh food, except for eating most of it that day, the remaining three herrings were eaten one a day for three days in a row. Afterwards, the government caught fish in Lake of Tears twice, but the ID card purchased before could not be purchased again, so Ning Qiyan and the others had no choice but to stop paying attention.

    The people in the mountains have not yet experienced the upsurge of the lake, and the government has begun to lay water pipes leading to the Lake of Tears.

    The lines are divided into four, one of which leads directly to the bottom of Ning Qiyan's hill. It was less than 500 meters away from Wang Yang's cave. From now on, Ning Qi said that they and the nearby residents at the top of Cangyun Mountain would no longer have to go downhill to fetch water, saving a lot of energy.

    The water pipes and pumps were installed, and finally the soldiers brought up a medium-sized water purifier and installed it at the water outlet, so that there was no need to worry about the waterway being polluted halfway.

    Successive excitement filled the mountain, and when everyone didn't pay attention, the scorching temperature slowly dropped.

    At noon one day, Ning Qiyan, who woke up to go to the toilet after half asleep, walked out of the cave. The scorching heat in his memory was gone, and Ning Qiyan suddenly realized that the drought and scorching heat were coming to an end, and autumn was here.

    In the next few days, many people suddenly found that it was no longer hot outside the cave during the day, and people spread word of mouth, and everyone's life began to slowly change back to being active during the day and sleeping at night.

    "It's ripe!" On this day, Ning Xiaowen brought back two watermelons from the small forest, and cut them open under the attention of everyone.

    The bright red flesh exudes a sweet breath.

    Each of the two watermelons weighed about eight or nine catties, cut a knife in the middle, and divided them into two halves. Each of the four people held half of the watermelon and ate it directly with a spoon.

    "It's so cool!" Huzi took a big mouthful, without spitting out the melon seeds, and swallowed them directly into his stomach.

    Ning Xiaowen picked out the melon seeds, scooped up a few pieces and put them in Du Dabao's food bowl. Seeing that Huzi and Du Cheng were almost finished eating, he asked them to keep the melons.

    Except for the bean sprouts grown in the cave, there are almost no other vegetables, and there are very few green vegetables that can be exchanged for purchase. They can only be supplied to families with special groups such as children and pregnant women. After the watermelon is ripe, melon white is a very good dish whether it is fried or shredded and cold.

    After eating the watermelon, Ning Qiyan peeled the white and red of the watermelon left by the four of them, and soaked it in clear water. Ning Xiaowen went into the woods again, searched carefully along the two melon vines, found another ripe watermelon, picked it off, and gave it to Wang Yang and the others.
