The location of the lotus pond is at the back of the house, more than two acres of land, and it doesn't look very big.

Now at this time, the lotus flowers have bloomed, and the emerald green lotus leaves have also turned dark green.

In the lotus pond, there are still many lotus pods.

The water in the lotus pond is not deep, but thyme knows that the mud below such a pond will be very deep.

It was noon, and there was no one in the field outside.

Thyme was also relieved, she didn't want the people in the village to see her go down to the lotus pond, and maybe there would be something ugly to say when the time came.

Although Thyme doesn't care, she still wants more than less.

"Chen'er, you help me look around, if someone from the village comes, just tell me, and my mother will go down to dig lotus roots."

Xiahou Yuchen looked at thyme with a surprised expression, there were too many things that thyme had surprised him in the past two days.

First of all, thyme knows so many medicinal herbs, and then it can cure diseases, and now it can go down to the pond to dig lotus roots.

He didn't know how many more things his mother would have? Is it really like Thyme said, he doesn't understand the things of adults as a child?

Xiahou Yuchen was puzzled, but he still nodded.

Thyme cautiously went down the lotus pond, and suddenly the mud flooded directly to the knees.

Thyme cautiously walked into the pond.

In the past two days, the people in the village have been doing a lot of work in the nearby fields, and Thyme didn't want them to find out that someone had dug up lotus root in the pond early.

Thyme walked directly to the middle of the pond, looked at the direction of the ridge, and could no longer see Xiahou Yuchen.

The thyme first plucked the lotus pods around her, and then bent down and began to dig lotus roots.

The lotus root in the pond was very large, and the thyme touched the branches and leaves of the lotus root, and then touched the lotus root that grew in the mud.

Directly dug out the whole one, the thyme was very excited, I didn't expect the lotus root in this lotus root pond to be so big.

The larger part is about the size of an adult man's arm.

Thinking that it would be rare to have the next field, the thyme dug several sections in a row.

Just as he was about to dig again, Xiahou Yuchen's voice came: "Someone is here, and I saw that I just went down to the ridge." ”

Hearing this, the thyme stopped digging, the basket straddled the wrist, and walked out of the lotus pond directly with the lotus root, but this time, the thyme walked on the other side of the pond, close to the house.

"Morning, let's go through the back door and go in."

Thyme guarded against this when she left, and opened the deadbolt of the back door.

Xiahou Yuchen hurriedly followed.

Because there are a lot of debris piled up at the back door, and the back door is rarely used, the back door is rarely opened.

As soon as Xiahou Yuchen entered the door, Thyme closed the door.

At this moment, the thyme is covered in thin mud and looks a little embarrassed, and on the ground on the side, there are still a few lotus roots, and the basket is also full of lotus flowers, but the basket is covered with thin mud at the moment.

"Chen'er, you go and close the front door, my mother will take a shower and change her clothes, and then come out to help you fry lotus roots." Thyme is now very glad that she used to live in the countryside, and digging lotus root is a piece of cake, and now it is as easy as a familiar road.

Xiahou Yuchen was overjoyed, he actually missed the sweet taste of the lotus root.

Xiahou Yuchen is very sensible, and when he was taking a bath in thyme, he had already washed the lotus root for a long time.

Seeing the white and clean lotus root, the heart of thyme is indescribably loved.

"Chen'er is so obedient, my mother will fry lotus root for you."

After speaking, Thyme took the lotus root that Xiahou Yuchen had washed into the stove room.

Fortunately, there is still some clear oil in the stove, which smells like peanut oil.

But I think that the things that the original owner bought before will not be bad there.

Thyme has seen this house, although it is only a big courtyard and there are many rooms, but there are really no valuable things in it, and the only things that can be seen are some worthless furniture.

On the contrary, in the stove house, there are some strange things, such as ginger before, and now clear oil, these things are not affordable for ordinary people, and even the staple food is rice, not cereals.

Come to think of it, the original owner must have had a good time before, and now he knows that buying food is already very good.

Thyme felt that she was just getting cheaper now.

Pouring a little oil into the pan, Thyme put the diced lotus root in it.

The gruel in the pot is cooked very viscous and tastes delicious.

Xiahou Yuchen hadn't eaten such a decent meal for a long time, he ate two bowls of gruel in a row, and he ate the lotus root on the plate.

"Mother, what about those lotus pods?"

Xiahou Yuchen remembered the lotus canopy in the basket.

Thyme smiled: "Naturally, peel it out, this lotus seed is a good thing, wait until tomorrow at noon, my mother will go down to the lotus pond again and pick up the lotus pods inside." ”

Lotus seeds can nourish the spirit, nourish qi and strengthen the kidneys, nourish the spleen and stop diarrhea, stop the band, nourish the heart, and are very good medicines.

And even if it's a medicinal diet, it's not bad.

After lunch, the two of them peeled off the lotus pod in the basket, and the lotus seeds and thyme were also dried in the basket, and the herbs collected on the mountain today were also stuffed on the bluestone slabs in the yard, and most of the afternoon was gone after all this.

Just as he was taking a breath, there was a knock at the door.

Thyme frowned, a little puzzled in her heart, knowing that few people in the village usually came to look for her.

Xiahou Yuchen was playing in the yard, when he heard someone knocking on the door, and he followed Thyme to open the door.

When I opened the door, I saw the mother in the clouds standing outside, with a basket on her arm.

"Auntie, is there something wrong?" Thyme asked suspiciously.

Yun Zhongniang smiled slightly, and thanked her warmly: "Thank you Madame for today's matter, if it weren't for Madame...... My daughter-in-law was only afraid that it was ......, but my son asked me to send it, saying that he wanted to thank his wife for saving his life today, and the ginseng today, and he definitely couldn't let his wife break the bank. ”

Seeing that Yun Zhongniang was so polite, Thyme's attitude improved.

"Auntie is polite, auntie is still inside, please!" Thyme opened the door and wanted Yun Zhongniang to come in.

Yun Zhongniang has to go home to take care of her daughter-in-law, so naturally she won't stay for long.

"Madame is polite, the daughter-in-law is still at home and no one takes care of her, Yunzhong went into the city to pick up medicine, please ask Madame to accept these things, otherwise we will have a disturbed conscience."

Seeing that Yun Zhongniang said sincerely, Thyme thought for a while, and still put the things away.

"Auntie is polite."

Yun Zhongniang saw that Thyme accepted the things, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madame, then I'll go back first, if Madame has anything, just come and call out."

This can be regarded as a return of favors.
