Highlights:
1. At noon, we lay on our backs on the sandy ground in the woods by the river, listening to the chorus of thousands of cicadas.
2. We grabbed the pulp with our hands to eat, then bit off a piece of melon rind and scraped it until we reached "Qingzhou".
3. It’s summer, and it’s the same time to eat melons. Eating melons in a living environment like Beijing is a kind of enjoyment, but I feel that eating melons in a rural melon shed as a child is more intense. interest in life.
