Small Matter

"Chunmei! Chunmei!" The door to Chunmei's house was closed. Liu Guixia shouted twice before Chunmei's response came from inside.

"Guixia? I'm coming." Chunmei quickly opened the door.

"Hello." Jiang Yue and Xue Yan greeted him politely.

"Oh? Xue Yan and Jiang Yue are here too. Come in, come in." Chunmei's eyes greeted her warmly.

"No need," Liu Guixia smiled and said, "I just wanted to talk to you about something. We'll go back after we're done. It's already dark. You still have to go to town to sell vegetables tomorrow. You have to sleep early."

"What's the matter?" They were all neighbors and had a good relationship, so Chunmei really didn't stand on ceremony.

"Can you buy us some watermelon seedlings for us in town tomorrow?" Then, Liu Guixia looked at Xue Yan.

"I…" Xue Yan said, "Jiang Yue and I want to grow watermelons. There are still watermelon seedlings for sale in town, so we're hoping you can buy some for us."
