    Although Pang Xu kept complaining, he didn't delay eating at all. In a short time, all the watermelons went into his stomach.

    Finally, this guy set his sights on the pear tree in front of the door, hooked a big pear out of his net bag, and ate it happily.

    The guy was still restless after eating and drinking, and asked if there were any smaller watermelons here.

    "Smaller watermelonyou haven't eaten enough yet? Wait for me to cut another one for you." Liu Junhao looked at Pang Xu in surprise. Could this man be a real foodie?  They didn't even move much of the half of the watermelon just now. Xu Xiaoli only ate two pieces, and the rest was eaten by this guy, as well as the pear just now, which weighed at least half a catty.  With so much fruit, he was not full.

    "No, I'm full. I just saw that the rind of your watermelon is quite thick, so I thought about giving you a melon carving art." Pang Xu waved his hands and shouted.

    "Melon carving art? With your level, it's better not to ruin my watermelon." Liu Junhao is no stranger to watermelon carving. Someone posted similar photos on the 18th floor forum a few days ago.  People use watermelons to carve peonies, heads, pavilions and other images, which look amazing.  At that time, Liu Junhao felt itchy and wanted to try it on his own melon skin.  But he was very self-aware and knew that it would be okay to make something by himself. It was not easy to carve something out of a smooth watermelon rind, so he did not waste the watermelon.

    "Damn, you're looking down on people, aren't you? I'm telling you, I really learned how to eat food carving for a few days. You quickly find me a smaller watermelon, as long as it's as big as a football. I'll show you what real art is."

    Seeing this guy¡¯s confident look, Liu Junhao could only turn around and go into the backyard to look for melons.  This is the time when watermelons are in their prime. Watermelons of all sizes are hanging all over the yard, which looks quite spectacular.  The size of the watermelon was also worrying. He searched back and forth but could not find a ripe melon as big as a football. The smallest one weighed ten kilograms.

    Liu Junhao had no choice but to enter Shisuo to search. When walking in the melon field, he took very small steps for fear of accidentally stepping on the melon vines.  A few days ago, while catching pheasants, I accidentally trampled a melon vine from its root.  At that time, he felt very distressed for a while. If the melon vine hadn't died, it would have produced at least dozens of kilograms of watermelons. So if he stepped on it, dozens of dollars would be gone.

    "Huh?" He couldn't help but be stunned when he cast his eyes on an open space: the melon vine before was not dead yet.  Although the leaves as big as cattails at the roots have turned yellow, a section of branches and vines are still as green as ever, and the bowl-sized watermelon on top is larger than it was a few days ago.

    ??Can watermelons continue to grow after the melon vine dies?  In disbelief, Liu Junhao stepped forward to lift the melon seedlings, and then he found out the reason.  There happened to be a dozen lateral roots growing on that branch, and it was these lateral roots that provided nutrients to the watermelon.  However, due to insufficient nutrient supply, the yellow flowers on the melon vines have completely withered, leaving only one watermelon.  He tapped it with his hand, and the sound was clear and crisp. It should be early ripening.

    This kind of watermelon is called dead gourd. Although it is ripe, it doesn't taste very good. It is the right material for Pang Xu to make melon carvings. It can be regarded as reuse of waste.

    When the watermelon was brought to the front yard, Pang Xu immediately took out a knife from the key ring and got busy.  As the fingers moved, circles of green skin peeled off the watermelon.

    Liu Junhao originally wanted to learn from the side, but after watching this guy busy for about ten minutes, what he finally carved was a crooked human face.  He asked in confusion: "Is this what you call art? If you call it art just by scratching a few times on the watermelon rind, then the artist would not be satisfied with running on the street."

    "X, if you are able, you can carve one for me. This thing requires very high knife skills. I am just fixing the rough outline first, and I will carve it carefully later." Pang Xu was very confident in himself. He judged  After saying this, he continued to work on the watermelon rind.

    ¡°Don¡¯t wait for him to dig out the excess rind bit by bit, the facial makeup on the watermelon really looks like that.  It was rare to see this group of people doing something beautiful, so Liu Junhao naturally praised him a few times.  Without thinking of a few words of praise, this guy's tail was raised to the sky, and he loudly shouted to Xu Xiaoli and the others to come out and visit.

    Zhang Qian is very interested in melon carvings. After seeing this work, she also became interested and planned to carve one by herself and upload it to the Internet.  Liu Junhao hurriedly stopped her. He knew his wife's hands-on ability very well.

    A month ago, Sunana had been clamoring to come and stay for a while, but then there was no news for some reason.  Today was a good day, as if they had discussed it, not even two hours after Pang and Xu arrived, Sunana also called and said they were coming to Liujiagou soon and asked an electric car to pick her up at the entrance of the village.

    "How many things have you brought and still need to push an electric car? I can go directly there." Zhang Qian asked a little strangely.

    ¡°You¡¯ll know when you come here, I¡¯ll move my whole houseIt's gone, you can't lift it alone.  "Sunana emphasized over and over again.

    Hearing what she said was serious, Zhang Qian could only call her husband to help.  Originally, I wanted Xu Xiaoli and his wife to rest, but they found it boring to sit in the courtyard and wanted to follow them.

    "Here" Before reaching the entrance of the village, I saw Sunana standing under a tree waving to a few people from a distance.

    At a quick glance, this girl was wearing a silk short-sleeved sweatshirt, an extra-large backpack on her shoulders, sunglasses on her forehead, white jodhpurs on her lower body, and a pair of sneakers on her feet.  He is majestic and high-spirited, and his whole body exudes a sense of competence and style!

    "There aren't many things. When I heard what you said on the phone, I really thought you had moved your home." Zhang Qian stepped forward to help untie the travel belt from her waist.

    ¡°There are more over there,¡± Suna Na wiped the sweat from her forehead and pointed to the luggage on the wheat straw pile next to her.

    Everyone turned their heads and were collectively petrified: She didn¡¯t lie on the phone, it was indeed like she was moving.  There were two large push-pull boxes and a portable travel bag. What made people feel even more outrageous was that there was a long box tied to the push-pull box, and he didn't know what was inside.

    Zhang Qian asked speechlessly: "Do these belong to you alone?"

    "Well, Li Pei originally bought me a few kilograms of bananas when I left. I thought it was troublesome so I didn't take them with me, otherwise there would be more."

    Seeing that she was so tired and sweating profusely, the few people didn¡¯t stop at the entrance of the village and went straight home with the salute in hand.

    "What are you carrying?" Zhang Qian originally wanted to carry the push-pull box, but it felt heavy after just two steps, so she could only pull it on the ground.

    "It's nothing, just some changes of clothes, sheets, mosquito nets, and mats. The rest are all snacks"

    "Is it all food?" Liu Junhao looked at the two large push-pull boxes and asked with some suspicion.  How many snacks are needed to fill this up!

    "Of course, the box in your hand contains raisins, melon seeds, plums and fried peanuts. The box in Zhang Qian's hand contains a box of milk. By the way, there is also a set of books and notebooks. I'm going to take a good look at it when I have time.  .¡±

    She had everything she wanted, including food, clothing and clothing. Listening to her talk endlessly about her treasures, a few people could only admire her.

    As soon as she arrived in the courtyard, Sunana opened the push-pull box, and there was a table full of melon seeds, raisins, etc. like a treasure chest.  With such a mouthful, I really can eat whatever I want.  People should not be judged by their appearance. Even though Sunana is slim, she is definitely an expert in eating.

    Wukong was so happy to eat so much food that he stretched out his claws and kept pulling towards himself.  In the end, Liu Junhao couldn't stand it any longer, so he knocked the guy on the head twice before he calmed down.

    When he renovated the house, he considered the accommodation issue for his friends when they came to visit. Liu Junhao specially opened three guest rooms above.  Recently, because of those pairs of swiftlets, he freed up one of the guest rooms to use them as a swiftlet house. However, the two guest rooms are enough for Xu Xiaoli and others.

    Regarding the swiftlet, the couple had great expectations, but the reality was very depressing.  So far, those guys have shown no sign of nesting.  Fortunately, they have adapted to the nearby environment and fly in and out of the house every day, adding a bit of color to the yard.

    After arranging the accommodation for the three of them, Zhang Qian saw that it was not time to eat yet, so she invited everyone to sit under the poplar tree and play cards.

    After a while, Wukong picked up a wicker stick from somewhere and ran into the yard. It rubbed beside Liu Junhao and squeaked, asking the owner to knit a straw hat for it.

    "Let's go." This game was the landlord of Liu Junhao. He was counting cards. He had no time to mess around with the monkey, so he pointed at Pang Xu.

    "I'll make a trumpet for you." Pang Xu became more interested and licked the willow leaves on it three times.

    "Zhizhi" When the monkey saw that he had dropped the leaves, he pointed and shouted.

    The so-called "wicker trumpet" is very simple to make. Just pull a thin wicker at will and twist it with your hands to separate the willow bark and willow bones. Then with a hard pull, the skin and bones will be completely separated.  Then use a sickle to cut the hollow wicker skin into ten centimeter-long pieces, scrape off one finger's width of green skin at one end, revealing a thin layer of milky white silk pulp, and press the silk pulp into a flat shape.

    In this way, a rough handmade trumpet was made.  Put the end with the silk pulp in your mouth and blow hard to make a thick or thin porching sound.  The thicker the wicker, the rougher the sound, which sounds like a ox's braying.  The longer the wicker is, the more melodious and delicate the sound is.

    But this wicker trumpet is usually best in early spring, and it is a bit late in the season now.

    Liu Junhao didn¡¯t know how many willow branches he had harmed when he was a child, so he had no idea about this thing.He was no stranger to her, but seeing Pang Xu's enthusiastic look, he was too embarrassed to attack her with words, so he could only pretend not to hear.

    "Let me tell you, when I started making the wicker trumpet, it was definitely this" Pang Xu gave a thumbs up, and then continued: "The trumpet I made can play three tones."

    This guy can make a loudspeaker and show off.

    "Why don't you talk about your studies?" Xu Xiaoli knew her husband very well, and she was completely speechless with just one sentence.
