There is no special skill in picking this red melon.

It came off with a grab and a twist, and Xu Wenyan pinched some tender leaves. The tender leaves of the red melon tasted similar to those of peas.

There were only a few peas at home, and Xu Wenyan was reluctant to waste them.

After picking for more than half an hour, both baskets were empty, and there were still many red melons hanging on the tree. Xu Wenyan estimated that the red melons would continue to grow and spread outward.

"Be careful." Chen Sanlin carefully picked up Xu Wenyan from the tree.

Xu Wenyan felt a little embarrassed. He had to do all the dirty and tiring work when he went out with this guy.

"Let's go."

While still on the way, Xu Wenyan opened a red melon. The flesh inside was slightly sweet, but there was not much to eat, as it was almost entirely seeds.

"Is it tasty?"

Chen Sanlin looked back and saw Xu Wenyan handing him the half-eaten melon. Chen Sanlin didn't mind and ate all the flesh in one mouthful.

Then, like a pea shooter, he shot out the seeds inside.

"Tsk, you are so stupid. You can fry the seeds inside and eat them. Don't spit them out again."

"Oh, good."

Chen Sanlin smiled, happy that his wife didn't beat him this time.

It turns out that my wife loves me the most.

After the two of them went back, the other people who were building the eaves also came back, and the beehives were reinforced.

Everyone saw how Wang Cuijuan prepared the crabs and couldn't wait to try them.

"Brother Xu, why did you come back so late?" Xiaohu trotted over to Xu Wenyan and helped him put down the backpack: "Hey, can this little melon be eaten? I opened it when I was a kid, and it was black inside."

Xu Wenyan plucked a few dry leaves off Chen Sanlin's head: "When you picked them, they were already old. Now they are fresh. Try breaking them apart again."

"Why is it red inside? It smells so good." Although this red melon is not sweet, it is a good way to kill time.

Xu Wenyan suddenly thought of something and was about to say, "Don't put the inside..."

"Tutututu—what's up, Brother Xu?" Xiaohu spat out the seeds, which flew six or seven meters away. "Haha, Brother Xu, am I awesome?"

Xu Wenyan rolled his eyes and kicked him on the butt: "What a bullshit, I'm going to fry this and eat it."

Chen Sanlin: I just said that my wife loves me the most.

We fried a plate of red melon tips in the evening and gave each person a big crab. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

The fresh fragrance of the red melon tips paired with the delicate texture of crab meat is simply divine.

The staple food is whole grain cakes fried with kudzu root powder, which everyone is used to eating.

Xu Wenyan was about to go to bed at night when Chen Dong ran in crying.

"Xiaodong, what's wrong? Why are you crying like this?" Xu Wenyan carried Chen Dong onto the kang and asked.

"Wuwuwu, little uncle, I'm going to die." Chen Dong glanced at the last words and looked at Xu Wenyan with tears in his eyes: "I'm sorry, little uncle. I have to go before I can show my filial piety to you. Don't be sad after I die. I will turn into a chicken and only be eaten by you, wuwu."

Xu Wenyan was also frightened: "What's going on? Why did you suddenly say that?"

At this time, Rong Xiaoliu came in from outside: "Brother Xu, Xiaodong's shit today is red and purple."

"Hahaha." Xu Wenyan immediately knew why, rubbed Chen Dong's head and laughed: "You ate too much prickly ash. I told you to eat less during the day, but you showed off with handfuls. It would be strange if it didn't get stained."

Chen Dong sobbed, "Oh, really? Uncle, Xiaodong is not dead."

"Of course not."

"Then Xiaodong, can you sleep with your uncle today?"

Xu Wenyan nodded: "Okay."

"Then I can too..." Rong Xiaoliu was about to speak when he felt the strong murderous aura coming from Chen Sanlin beside the bed.

"I'm fine...Good night, Brother Xu."

All night, Chen Sanlin felt a little uncomfortable looking at little Chen Dong who was sleeping next to him and Xu Wenyan.

The next day was another sunny day.

Xiaohu had a delicious crab meal yesterday and insisted on going again today. Even Zhou Jianye agreed.

After Xu Wenyan told them the location and tricks, he went to the back mountain with his backpack, this time with Wang Dongmei.

"You guys pick the remaining red melons when the time comes, and I will roast the melon seeds in the afternoon." Xu Wenyan instructed.

"Got it."

Xu Wenyan and Wang Dongmei took their sabers and backpacks and headed towards the back mountain. It wasn't that they were too lazy to wear the armor, but it was simply too hot in the summer.

Xu Wenyan is still wearing short sleeves, and he is already feeling very hot. If he puts on armor, he won't be able to go up the mountain. He will get heatstroke if he stays still in the yard wearing it.

"In the past, there were a few hairy cherries outside our village. Every year, too many people came to pick them. I don't know why they stopped bearing fruit in the end."

Xu Wenyan understood immediately: "It's rotten. It's been plucked out every year. It simply doesn't bear fruit anymore."

Wang Dongmei asked in confusion: "What does it mean to be bad?"

"I just don't want to do anything, just eat and wait to die."

"Oh, but after it fell apart, it was chopped down and used as firewood."

"Tsk, then don't give up."

The two talked as they walked, and soon they arrived under the two cherry trees.

Looking at the densely packed small red fruits on the tree, Xu Wenyan could not help but drool. Cherries are his favorite fruit. When he was a child in the village, he would eat them directly while sitting on the tree.

No child in the village dared to snatch the food from him, and he ate it happily all by himself.

Although there are many fruits on this tree, many of them are rotten. Insects, birds, and squirrels have all visited the tree. Since no pesticides have been used, naturally there are not many left.

"Sister Dongmei, let's hold on tight."

"Okay, let's each take a lesson and see who can pick the most."

Wang Dongmei also climbed up in two moves, which instantly aroused Xu Wenyan's desire to win.

Hairy cherries are not only edible, but can also replenish qi, strengthen the spleen and eliminate dampness.

It contains protein, dietary fiber, and a variety of vitamins and minerals, which can promote human metabolism, enhance physical fitness, and improve immunity.

The two of them picked and chose from the trees. Xu Wenyan did not let go of some fruits that had been eaten by insects. He also carried a small basket on his back, and he picked the half-rotten and partially eaten fruits and took them back to feed the rabbits and chickens.

They also need supplements, no.
