Chapter Seventy-Two: Picking Water Chestnuts
Sure enough, there was a knock on the door, waking up the people who were still asleep. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The two girls didn't sleep well at all last night, and opened the door with sleepy eyes, and were swept out of the door by Lin Yi like a gust of wind, "Uncle Shui promised to take us to pick water chestnuts." He said as he tugged.
"I haven't washed my face and brushed my teeth, I haven't combed my hair and changed my clothes, and I haven't eaten breakfast, so you let me follow you like this?" Water Butterfly asked sleepwalking.
"yes, then go back and freshen up, I don't seem to have eaten breakfast." Another gust of wind swept in, and the little green was dumbfounded.
Gu Ye yawned and walked out of the guest room, and scolded without closing his mouth: "Stinky boy, you don't sleep and don't let others sleep, it's rare that such a quiet morning has been ruined by you." ”
"The sun is all drying his buttocks, Uncle Shui gets up early in the morning to work, and Grandpa is embarrassed to sleep lazy." No matter how whispering it is, it was also heard by the old man,
He picked up his ears and said, "What are you talking about, stinky boy?" Muttering, have the ability to say it out loud. ”
"It's time for breakfast." Yingzi rescued Lin Yi's poor ear.
Die'er and Xiaolu also hurriedly picked up a towel and toothbrush to wash, and helped Gu Ye pour warm water and squeeze toothpaste. "Sure enough, it's still a girl's caring." The old muttered.
Lin Yi, who pouted his little mouth, looked disapproving, I didn't give you face wash water every day at home, I disliked me at this time, hum~~~ turned his head to eat breakfast.
Breakfast is very simple, just a bowl of clear water noodles, with a few stacks of Yingzi's own pickled side dishes, drizzled with a few drops of sesame oil, sprinkled with green green onions, it is also very appetizing. This is a relatively rich breakfast in Yingzi's house, and the guests are not picky people, they each pick up the bowl in front of them and snort and eat, and praise Yingzi's craftsmanship over and over again while eating.
The grandfather and grandson usually eat more simply, who gets up early to buy some soy milk fritters on the street, where to cook what noodles, and with delicious side dishes.
Su Hong often has to be on duty, or has to rush to the hospital if she has something. The ancient son Lin Xianguang didn't have this time, usually the secretary came with breakfast in the morning, and he would eat it on the way. Usually there are only two grandchildren in the family, and it is sad to think about it.
Because his son Lin Xianguang gave up medicine to enter politics, he didn't pay much attention to him for several years, and he usually didn't bother what he was doing, and the Lin family has always been low-key, so the neighbors didn't know that there was a big man in the city living here. Although Su Hong said that she studied medicine, she has always studied Western medicine, and it is impossible for her daughter-in-law to throw away the Western medicine she has studied for decades and start from scratch. Therefore, Lin Yi has become the last hope of the ancients, and the Lin family's medical skills cannot be extinct from now on.
When Die'er's family usually eats, it is lively and lively. The most lively thing today is that Lin Yi has been urging everyone to eat quickly, eat quickly, Xiaolu was almost choked, and was scolded by the ancient, and the water chestnut did not grow legs, and he was afraid that it would not be able to run away, so what did he do in such a hurry. Even so, everyone still solved the noodles in the bowl as quickly as possible, and then went back to the room to change into dirt-resistant clothes, because water chestnut juice stained clothes are difficult to wash off.
When it came out, everyone burst into laughter, it was so funny. Midori and Die'er were wearing their own rain boots and a coarse cloth coat with sleeves, which was quite normal. Lin Yi was wearing Shui Qing's previous clothes, but they were still very wide, hanging loosely on his body, Yingzi found a few hemp ropes, rolled up his sleeves and trouser legs and tied them with hemp rope, and finally exposed his hands and feet, the boy was not afraid of getting his feet dirty, he directly dragged a pair of liberation shoes, wore a straw hat, and carried a bamboo basket.
Seeing Butterfly and Little Green Smiling back and forth, they also smirked. Protesting inside was ineffective, and was threatened to guard the door at home if he didn't change his clothes, and finally had to compromise, at this time, seeing Die'er's sister smiling so happily, I think it doesn't matter!
In this way, Shui Qing resisted the big wooden basin, Yingzi carried a small wooden basin, the little doll carried a small bench, and the ancient carried a big basket, and set off towards Lingtang.
This morning's lotus pond is another beautiful scenery in the eyes of the butterfly, those budding lotus flowers are a little red, like a paper lantern lit with a red candle. The petals floating on the water are like paper boats, and the backs of those lotus flowers are like women in ancient costumes, holding lotus candles in their hands, standing in the backlight. The lotus leaf is like a Buddha umbrella with one handle, leading the people of the world to reach the 3,000th session.
The frogs on the side of the road, disturbed by everyone, jumped into the lotus pond one by one. Pairs of butterflies surround everyone, and the lotus leaves full of nectar are like jade plates, luring dragonflies to keep drinking the elixir and jade liquid.
Turn a corner, go around a few vegetable fields, and see Lingtang.
When the wooden basin was put down, Lin Yi wanted to jump down, but was caught back by Shui Qingyi, telling him that it was too dangerous, and he went into the water and put the bench in place, and then hugged Lin Yi down. When he moved it slightly, the wooden basin shook violently, and he screamed in fright, until Shui Qing also sat down, and he felt a little safe.
The people watching the play on the shore were not happy, and Xiao Lu and Gu decided not to go into the water, so they stayed on the shore. Yingzi didn't know where to find two long bamboo poles to put down the water, and then stirred a few times to drag a large bundle of water chestnut branches up, and the ancient music also had work to do. In the end, everyone decided to compete, divided into three groups, two groups in the water and one group on the shore, to see who picked the most in the end.
Although it was not the first time to enter the water, Shui Die'er was still very excited, her body was biased and she almost lost her center of gravity, and she broke out in a cold sweat with fright. Under Yingzi's technical guidance, he slowly sat on the small bench, grabbed both sides of the wooden basin, and began to use his hands as pulp after stabilization, but it was still like yesterday, as slow as a snail. Hurry up like my mother to ask for help, and after a while, I will get close to a "duckweed", scoop it up, and there are fruits of different sizes growing below, pick the big one and throw it into the pot, and start like the next "duckweed". Sure enough, it is much more convenient for someone to paddle, as long as they are in charge of picking.
The pond was wafting with a milky voice, "Let's swing the oars, the boat pushes away the waves, the sea reflects the beautiful white tower, surrounded by green trees and red walls...... This is when Lin Yi taught the two of them to sing when he was making lotus lanterns yesterday, and it was quite appropriate to sing at this time.
The freshness lasted for more than half an hour, and it was actually quite tiring to bend over for a long time, and after a while, Lin Yi shouted that his back hurt, his buttocks were uncomfortable to sit on, and his legs were uncomfortable bent for a long time. Butterfly is small, and it is much better to meditate for a long time in terms of patience and physical strength. "Brother Lin Yi, we are in the game, don't cry if you lose later." Midori uses the agitation method on the shore.
"Hmph, I'm not going to throw in the towel." Lift up, thump your back, beat your waist, and start to bury your head and pick it up again.
In fact, the most leisurely is the little green, under the big tree is good to enjoy the shade, the water chestnut vines on the shore are picked up and then moved to another pile, and after a while there is a large half of the basket, at this time leisurely eat the tender and sweet water chestnut, cheer for the lady.
Yingzi and Shui Qing were also worried that after a long time, they would be tired of the child, and when they saw that it was almost over, they began to row back, and the time had come to go ashore to accept the results.
