"Mom, Mom, we're in luck now. Shen Zhiqing hadn't arrived home yet, so he hurriedly shouted at the top of his throat.

Since Old Man Shen came back from the hospital that day, plus he had a cold again, he has been lying in bed. As soon as he fell asleep, he was woken up by Shen Zhiqing, who was babbling.

"My little ancestor, your voice is a little smaller, and your father has just fallen asleep. ”

"Oh, Mom, good news, I got you. Shen Zhiqing hurriedly lowered his voice, but the happy smile on his face couldn't be hidden. I saw her smiling, not to mention how happy.

When the old lady heard that there was a door, she was also very happy, and hurriedly pulled her daughter to the kitchen, and the two put their heads together, and were whispering there.

"Ahem, what's wrong with the old woman, you are so happy. Old man Shen always felt that his wife and daughter's behavior since yesterday was a little strange, and the two of them talked to each other, as if they always wanted to deliberately avoid him.

The daughter in front of her originally said all the words, but she was pressed down by the old woman.

"Wife, I'm thirsty. ”

"It's coming, it's coming. The old lady listened to her daughter's words, and her mood really improved a lot, so she took a thermos and a large teacup, and walked into the house in small steps.

"Help me up. Old man Shen glanced at the old woman, and saw that the look on her face was really very different from the preoccupied look in the house just now.

Old man Shen took two sips of water and wanted to drink it. The old lady couldn't help but glance at him and said, "What's wrong with you today, didn't you just drink before, you have to get up at night if you drink too much, I have to cook later, who will help you go." ”

"What's the matter, I'm impatient to help me go to the toilet, don't you think I'm not making money now, so you dislike me. ”

"Old man, don't you see how attentive you are, now we Zhiguo and Zhiqing are making money, if they have a bite to eat, you have a bite to eat. Besides, your daughter is so good-looking, and I'm afraid that she won't be able to marry a good family. "There is this unwritten rule in their village, as long as anyone does something illegal and undisciplined, as long as the villagers report it, they will be rewarded.

If they report such a big thing today, not to mention the bonus, there will always be dozens of dollars.

"Forget it, you go out, I'll sleep a little longer. ”

The old lady wished that the old man would not bother herself, so that she could plan for today's affairs.

went out and returned to the kitchen again, she hurriedly asked her daughter to find her son Shen Zhiguo, "Zhiqing, you go and call your brother to get up, I have something for him to do." ”

It's almost three strokes a day, and the diligent people have already gone to work, and the two of their family, one went outside for a circle, and came back. The other one was still lying in bed and couldn't get up.

"What's the matter?"

"Just call him up, and if you call someone right, you can also go to work, today is to dig that lotus root pond, be smart, and see if you can bring some lotus root back to eat." "The lotus root in the mud in winter is tender and crispy, and it is a good dish on the table.

There is a big lotus pond in their river village, and speaking of which, it is still stained with Shen Zhihao's light, and it is he who got the lotus root seedlings from elsewhere and inserted them into the pond. In the first year, this lotus pond only had a few more lotus leaves, and everyone didn't take it seriously. In the second and third years, the lotus leaves slowly increased.

There were also some greedy people who wanted to steal the lotus root pond, but unexpectedly, not only did they not steal the lotus root, but they were also pierced by the broken bottle in the mud.

From then on, everyone did not dare to go down to the lotus pond immediately.

However, when the pond becomes a real lotus root pond, the silt is cleared every year in winter. Otherwise, the pond will become shallow, and the soil inside will become thinner, so that the lotus root will not grow much in the coming year.

In the past, the lotus root in the river village was still famous, and only around the New Year would everyone get some lotus root breaks every year. This year, it's time to start the lotus. This lotus root is also particular, they take out the small branches of the lotus root, the main lotus root is the lotus root, which must not be moved, otherwise it will affect the harvest of the second year.
