You can take back as many as you want.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Overjoyed, Ms. Xu said, “Thanks so much, Fifth Sister-in-law!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ms. Xu felt so happy when her request was granted so easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lunchtime, they surrounded the table and looked at the watermelon with wide eyes. Ms. Fang felt a bit nervous as she cut it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a crisp and low sound, the watermelon burst open. The flesh of the melon was bright red, with countless black seeds inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This watermelon was brought back from the wild. It was not the excellent variety like the modern times. There were relatively many more seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the watermelon tasted much fresher too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It tastes so good!” Shao Sanlang swallowed down the seeds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Xiaoni licked her lips, smiling. “Yes, it looks very tasty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ms. Fang threw a look at the couple, who were only out for food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She cut the watermelon into pieces and picked them up carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone picked up a piece each and the juice filled up their mouths. The flesh was soft and the juice was abundant. The fresh sweetness instantly captured all the perceptions in the mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, all the cells in the mouth were mobilized, and they couldn’t wait to swallow. Different voices rang in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want more!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh god, it is so tasty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sweet and juicy, full of flesh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No wonder it is precious. So tasty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, I can eat up the whole thing!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all spoke highly of the fruit and just could not stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Liu Yan was given a piece. Liu Yan was so startled that she could not help but remember how it tasted after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was watermelon! A precious thing! Second Miss could do everything!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They ate it all up except for the two large slices left to Shao Xiaoqi who was in the mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It tasted great.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan eventually fell in love with the taste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweet, fresh and drooling!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the scorching summer, at noon with the sun in the sky, eating watermelon soaked in ice-cold water was so pleasing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The watermelons had numerous seeds, but it did not hurt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Xuan did not want to sell them but there were many of them at home, and they could not finish them alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was not giving this fruit to anyone else. Her father-in-law no longer mentioned giving it to the other sections of the family, though he had that intention. Qiao Xuan ignored him conveniently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen had already made the plan about how to sell the watermelons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She intended to visit Mingren Tang in a couple of days and talk to Manager Qin about it. Maybe the watermelons and tea leaves could be sold through them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She herself would never show up to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Officer Qiao and Madame Qiao would get a clue!\u003C\u002Fp>",536,"2026-06-03T12:00:43.256Z","2026-06-03T12:00:47.055Z",1,"novelbin.me","b1170d38fb935c50edd8bfc0b48751595a017c522be2e1bc9c503b8be8c15ff5","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-156","springtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-chapter-155",2438,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fspringtime-farming-a-happy-wife-at-home-cover.jpg"]
