Chapter 45: On the Way to Pick Lotus Seeds

There is a stone road next to the ancestral house, and I have walked along the stone road for about ten minutes, but I still haven't seen the end. The road is lined with lush bamboo forests, and on the other side is a ditch with tall black locust trees and some bushes.

On the other side of the ditch is a large orange grove. The orange blossoms are blooming densely, the fragrance of the flowers is bursting, and the rich ones make people want to sleep, and the little bees are diligently collecting honey.

Beams of sunlight from the bamboo leaves naughty drill onto the body, very comfortable, walking on the road does not feel hot at all, along the way Yingzi and Shui He looked at each other speechless, Butterfly also quietly looked at the beautiful scenery.

The road surface is a little higher than the orange grove, so the line of sight is full of green, and there are hundreds of flowers in the middle, which is really beautiful. There are a few pointed roofs in the middle of the orange grove, and I don't know if the forest keepers live there, or if the family happens to live in the middle of the orchard.

Suddenly, the field of vision suddenly widened, the bamboo forest on the left hand side disappeared all of a sudden, all of them were large lotus ponds, Zhu Ziqing's "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond" described appropriately: among the layers of leaves, there were sporadic white flowers, some of which were blooming; There is a shy shyness to play Duo'er; Just like a pearl, like a star in the blue sky, like a beauty who has just come out of the bath.

It's just that a few heads leak out of the lotus pond from time to time, and if you replace it with a beautiful and graceful girl, it will be a beautiful painting!

Looking at the situation, it seems that it is almost there.

"Xiao Yong, Niu Er, come up and drink some water." Sure enough, Yingzi shouted.

"Hey, I'll be up soon!" A green head leaked out of the lotus pond, and answered.

Shui Die'er looked back at the third aunt, who had been carrying the basket and silently followed behind. At this time, the hands holding the basket turned white, and the tension in her heart could be seen. His lips were pursed, his forehead was lowered, and his feet unconsciously ravaged the few remaining weeds on the road. Expectant and shy, nervous and anxious girl's mentality is fully revealed at this time.

I don't know if my mother saw something, Yingzi changed her hand and hugged Shui Die'er, glanced at her lightly, and told Shui He to put the kettle in a cool place, and didn't say anything.

Shui Die'er felt in her heart that her mother must know something, but it felt as if she just wanted to maintain the role of a bystander, not as enthusiastic as she was about her uncle and sister-in-law. Shui Die'er has always felt that her mother is a woman with high emotional intelligence, and her mother is too lazy to worry about things, so Shui Die'er doesn't want to be nosy. Besides, a milk baby, except for watching a play, really can't do anything.

After a while, I saw that the lotus leaves near the shore were moving very strongly, and something was shuttling from inside.

"Sister-in-law, third sister, are you here?" Shui Yong was the first to show up and say hello.

"Xiao Yong, you help pick a lotus leaf and come up, the place where you hold the butterfly is sweating, every once in a while, so as not to dye the heat on my body." Yingzi hurriedly said.

"Okay, I'll find something tender." Shui Yong got into it and jumped up with a lotus leaf.

"Brother, the lotus canopy at home is almost peeled, you can pretend to be some and I will take it back." Shui He hurriedly handed over the basket and said.

Shui Yong took the basket, turned around and threw it into the lotus pond, "Niu Er, and then, put the basket of lotus canopy up." ”

"Okay." Niu Er's head with lotus leaves also popped out, and he was only wearing a vest and undershirt, and a pair of big pants underneath, and his tanned face smiled like a flower.

Seeing that he took the big porcelain bowl in Yingzi's hand, the uncle who was drinking and concentrating was still dressed relatively neatly, and it was also a coarse undershirt and pants, and his waist and calves were tied with cattail, and he was refreshed when he looked at it.

Yingzi took the lotus leaf from Shui Yong's hand, and it was separated in the middle of the water butterfly, which was really cooler. From time to time, you can still smell the fragrance of lotus leaves, and the wisdom of people is really infinite.
