nHowever, she could get the seed directly from her space without people knowing.

nNext year, when Liu Guixia grew the seedlings, she could directly replace the seeds with seeds that could grow seedless watermelons. It was not troublesome at all.

nJust then, Liu Guixia saw Chunmei returning from the fields with a hoe. Liu Guixia quickly pulled her over to eat the watermelon. She said that it was all thanks to her help buying the seedlings that they became sweet. The watermelons were big, and they actually grew seedless watermelons.

nChunmei’s eyes were full of watermelon as she said happily, “I just bought it for your family. It’s because you took care of it yourself. Next year, I’ll also ask for a few seedlings from your family. Oh right, and those strawberry and tomato seedlings too!”

n“Yes, yes.” Liu Guixia agreed. Anyway, everyone in the family wanted to grow these seeds now, so it would not take up a lot of land even if they gave more to the villagers.

nOut of the ten watermelons, two were opened, and the other eight were sent to the Xue Sifu’s stall in town.

nJinshan and the others told them about the seedless watermelons and how to distinguish between them.

nXue Sifu cut a watermelon that Jinshan and the others said was a seedless watermelon. As expected, after it was cut in half with a crisp sound, there were no seeds inside.

nWhen the people who ate ice saw this, there was naturally a commotion.

n“What an amazing fruit!”

n“There are no seeds in it at all!”

nWhen Xue Sifu returned, he asked Jiang Yue and Xue Yan to accompany him to the watermelon field to see how many seedless watermelons there were, regardless of whether the sun had set or not.

nSeeing that more than 80 percent of the watermelons in the field were seedless, Xue Sifu couldn’t stop smiling.

nEveryone said that his seedless watermelons were sweeter than others. Naturally, the seedless watermelons were even sweeter. Moreover, he sold the seedless watermelons at a higher price than the seeded watermelons, so the rich families were willing to buy them.

nWhen Dagui sold popsicles and strawberries to the rich families today, he had mentioned the seedless watermelons. If the rich families were willing, they would send them a few every day. They immediately agreed to have the seedless watermelons.

n“I should be able to pick these tomorrow, right?” Xue Sifu asked as he squatted in the middle of several watermelons. These watermelons were all seedless.

nJiang Yue and Xue Yan knocked on the door and looked at it again before nodding, “Yes.”

nSome of the watermelons in this one acre of land could be picked.

nThen, Jiang Yue and Xue Yan each counted half an acre of land and found that there were about 20 watermelons that could be picked tomorrow.

n“Twenty is a lot.” Xue Sifu said with a smile. “It’s only been a few days. In two days, more will be ripened.”

nJiang Yue thought so too.

nThe next day, there were many baskets on the ox-cart, some of which were filled with strawberries, some with tomatoes, and some with watermelons. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also wanted to go to town to have a look, but they hadn’t been there for a while, so they didn’t put anything on the ox cart.

nThe ox cart that Jiang Yue and Xue Yan were on was once again driven by Jinshan.

nWhen Jiang Yue and the others arrived at their stall, Dagui happened to be there. He immediately came over and looked at the stall frame before saying, “There’s too little of these seedless watermelons. How am I supposed to share them with the rich families?”
