Hearing her husband's voice, Yao Zhi stopped what she was doing and nodded. "Husband, you can help me plant the seedlings."
Fu Chen'an's family had been farmers for generations, so he was familiar with planting crops. While he was working, he asked, "Wife, what are you planting?"
"I bought some western melon seeds from a merchant before in the border market. He said that this fruit is perfect for summer since it tastes sweet and is very juicy. So, I want to try it."
Fu Chen'an thought about the conversation he heard in the barracks and said, "Does this western melon have red flesh and black seeds?"
Yao Zhi was surprised by his words and asked, "Husband, you know western melon?"
Fu Chen'an nodded and replied, "I heard this name from Battalion Commander Gao. He said that he was lucky to try this fruit when he visited the General's mansion before."
