Xiao Liu took the lead, and Wu Xihui followed behind her. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info the two of them have nothing to say, Xiaoliu wants to ask but doesn't dare to ask, she is optimistic about the martial arts and her eldest sister, but the identity of the martial arts will be a real headache.

Xiao Liu thought about it and stopped, and said to the martial arts club: "Brother Wu, my father said that the business of the shop is not bad these days, but it is too busy and the manual work is not enough, so you can help over there for a few days when you go to the shop to deliver the goods tomorrow." Although Xiao Liu said that she was very entangled in her heart, after she asked, she still looked into the eyes of the martial arts club, but the martial arts club hummed softly as usual.

Xiaoliu regretted it, what was this reaction, how could she not learn micro-expression management and psychology when she went to school. People answered her, but she couldn't guess what the martial arts association thought in her heart. Xiao Liu didn't hear the answer she had in mind, and took the lead again. When she arrived at the door, she heard a lot of voices coming from her yard.

Xiao Liu entered the courtyard and saw that her second grandfather was also at her house. The yard was full of half-grown children and some old people her grandmother's age, both men and women. Among them, the most conspicuous are her fourth uncle and her fifth uncle, because in this group of people, the two young and middle-aged uncles are eye-catching.

The sixth grandmother took a large group into the room where the cotton was put and began to pick cotton, and her fifth sister had already moved the small benches at home. The sixth grandfather took the three of them to the pond, and her eldest sister followed her second grandfather with a bamboo frame.

When they arrived at the pond ridge, the sixth sister put down the bamboo frame and went back. Xiaoliu's second grandfather and her grandfather were old, and the water was cold, so Xiaoliu let the two old people watch from the shore, and she went to her second grandfather's house. Xiaoliu went to her second grandfather's house and asked her second grandmother for the clothes of her fourth uncle and fifth uncle, and went to her own house.

After Xiaoliu arrived home, her eldest sister was in the house with her grandmother and them picking cotton, and she called her eldest sister out again, asking her eldest sister to cook ginger soup, making some hot food to go cold, and finally boiling a few pots of water for preparation. After a while, she would let them come over and take a bath at her house.

Xiao Liu put her clothes in the bathhouse, and then went to the well to carry water and pour it into the water tank to prepare. Busy at home, Xiaoliu went to her fourth uncle again to dig lotus roots. The water in her pond has not been put out, and there is no one-piece rain pants to dig lotus root here, and she can think of how cold it is in the pond. Xiaoliu went to the pond to see that the three old men were digging lotus roots in the pond.

"Fourth uncle, fifth uncle, come to my house to take a bath after digging in a while, and I will bring you all the clothes to change."

"Okay, Xiaoliu asked your eldest sister to cook some ginger soup." Uncle Xiaoliu and Uncle Wu said to Xiaoliu while digging.

"I told my eldest sister that it will be cooked in a while."

Although the three of them dug the lotus root seriously in the cold water, they were not professional lotus diggers in the final analysis, not to mention the slow digging, and most of the lotus roots were broken.

"Four uncles and five uncles, Brother Wu, dig it along the lotus root straight to touch it, this lotus root is broken, and it will not sell at a good price."

When the three of them heard Xiao Liu say this, their speed also slowed down, and Xiao Liu was in a hurry. "Grandpa, I want to dig lotus root too."

"You're too small, go down and touch the lotus, and you won't show your head."

Xiaoliu thought about it, "Grandpa, you go and release the water now, our fish are not in the ditch, grandpa, you put some water, so that it will be convenient to dig next time." ”

"Okay, I'll put it down, bring me the shovel, bring me a fishing net, and I'll put it in the ditch when I get there. Maybe there will be fish coming, and then there will be fish to eat in the evening. Grandpa Xiaoliu said, ready to excavate.

After her father finished speaking, she ran home and got something to put in her pond. As soon as she put the shovel in her grandfather's hand, she took the net and was about to follow.

"Give the net pocket to your second grandfather, you are waiting here to pick up the lotus root."

Xiaoliu heard her grandfather arrange this, handed her the net bag to her second grandfather, and excitedly shouted to her fourth uncle and fifth uncle on the side to hand her some lotus root over after a while. Xiaoliu also told them not to wash the lotus root clean, but to bring some mud. In this way, not to mention the freshness of the lotus root, it can also protect the lotus root for a longer time and will not be bad.

Xiao Liu didn't know how much five hundred catties was, her four uncles were all good at estimating the weight, and after seeing the dug lotus root, she asked Xiao Liu if she wanted to dig more. Xiao Liu thought that it was all down now, so she asked her four uncles to dig more, and then she could send some lotus root to her second grandfather's house.

Later, after digging, she gave the lotus root to Xiaoliu and moved it to the side of the well platform in the courtyard, and then weighed it, and the lotus root dug up was more than 600 catties. Xiao Liu asked her four uncles to wash their hands, handed over the boiled ginger soup for them to drink quickly, and her eldest sister boiled all the hot water. Xiao Liu and her eldest sister each carried hot water to the bathhouse, and there were a lot of bath buckets in her house, and there was a new one that was useless, so Xiao Liu was put in the bath room.

Later, the martial arts club went to her grandfather's bathhouse to wash, and her four uncles and five uncles went to the bathhouse commonly used by the martial arts club. After the three of them washed out, Xiao Liu asked the three of them to go to the kitchen to eat something to warm up.

When her grandfather and second grandfather came back in the afternoon, they also brought back two two-pound grass carp. After going back for dinner except picking cotton, Xiaoliu didn't let her second grandfather and four uncles and five uncles go, she personally made a few dishes to thank her second grandfather for their help.

When her second grandfather was leaving, her grandmother handed over a bag of lotus root that had been picked up. Xiaoliu still wanted to pay her salary, but as soon as her second grandfather said it, she left with the lotus root. After her second grandfather left, Xiaoliu's grandfather began to criticize Xiaoliu, saying that Xiaoliu counted the help between relatives too clearly, and sometimes it was not good to be too clear. Xiaoliu bowed her head and said that she was wrong, and she wouldn't be like this next time.

After dawn, she loaded five hundred catties of fresh lotus root on the carriage, and put Xiaoqi and Xiaoba in the carriage and sat down, and her grandfather followed the carriage of the Wuxihui to Qingshan Town.

After the others left, Xiao Liu remembered a question. "Grandma, how did Grandpa come back in the afternoon? Will he drive a carriage? ”

The sixth sister immediately reacted next to her, and then the sixth sister asked, "Isn't Brother Wu coming back?" ”

Xiao Liu listened to her eldest sister's question, and only then did she remember that she hadn't come to tell them in a hurry that the martial arts association was going to help in Qingshan Town. "It's too busy in the shop, Dad asked Brother Wu to help for a few days."

After Xiao Liu finished speaking, she pulled her grandmother into the yard, and her grandmother was watching Xiao Liu all the way. Xiaoliu had no choice but to wink at her grandmother, indicating that her grandmother had guessed correctly. If her shop hadn't hired those four people, maybe her grandmother would have believed her words, but who her grandmother was, when she heard Xiaoliu talk about her father, she guessed it.

Not much, yesterday the group of people came to pick cotton seeds again, and the rest of her family's cotton was almost over after a day's time. At that time, her father sent Wang Er out again, and the martial arts club must have been followed by her father's envoy. (To be continued.) )
