At that time, Huang Hua's parents were ill in bed after years of famine. On August 15, Huang Hua found two oblate wild melons among weeds in Nanshan. She picked it up and cooked it for her parents. After eating it, the two old people greatly increased their appetite and recovered their health. Miss Huanghua planted melon seeds in the ground, and the next year, they really took root and sprouted, bearing many round melons. Because it was picked from Nanshan, it was called pumpkin.
