Li Feng led the three children back to the peach forest, and first let Mengmeng take a bath and change clothes. Ten minutes later, Meng Meng timidly walked out of the door. The little girl didn't even dare to raise her head at this time, Xiaoqing, who received a call from Li Feng not far away and hurried back, glared fiercely, pulled Mengmeng into the house, and after a while, there was a miserable cry. Li Feng frowned, didn't speak, looked at the bell, this girl would flatten her mouth, look at herself pitifully, don't think about letting herself help Mengmeng intercede. But this time, Li Feng was ruthless, sitting under the pergola and drinking herbal tea without moving.
"Uncle, is Mengmeng okay?" Lei Lei looked at the water chestnut in his hand, glanced at the door tightly closed, was a little worried, carefully put down the water chestnut in his hand, and whispered to Li Feng, who closed his eyes and recuperated.
"It's fine." Li Feng's voice didn't fall, Xiaoqing pulled Meng Meng who wiped her tears and walked out, the little girl cried this time sadly, the tears couldn't stop flowing, it seems that Xiaoqing was ruthless this time.
"Li Feng, what about my grandfather?" Xiaoqing only found that the yard was quiet, a few rabbits, jumping under the peach tree eating tender grass, Xiaohua lying in the shade, closed her eyes, the hairball was not there, and the eagle was rarely squinting and napping on the peach tree. For the rest, the pangolins disappeared early and hid, and the weather was too hot.
"Uncle Wang, they went to clean up the bamboo house, and now they have generally come out, except for some small places, they went over to take a look and change it." A few old people have eaten in the past few days, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and hurried to the bamboo building group to help clean up the sundries in the bamboo building, hoping to move in early. Fortunately, Li Feng didn't go over today, otherwise, this girl doesn't know what to do?
"Oh, by the way, what about the water chestnut that Meng Meng said? Let me see. Li Feng pointed to the water chestnut on the table, and watched Mengmeng wipe her tears while peeking at herself to pick the water chestnut. When Li Feng saw this scene, he was a little speechless, this girl is not afraid of beating at all. Doesn't this little ass hurt? Looking at the little girl who was crying sadly, it didn't look like it.
"Well, it's delicious, Li Feng, let's go pick some more." Li Feng pounced and almost fell, didn't this girl still hate the water chestnut just now.
Li Feng felt that his brain was a little out of step with the times, this thinking jumped too fast, but this water chestnut tasted really good. "Okay, let's go, I'll carry the wooden boat." Some time ago, when he accompanied Lin Ying to visit the red-crowned crane, the wooden boat that Li Feng borrowed from the second master's house was never returned, and it was placed in the old courtyard.
Meng Meng wiped away her tears, peeked at Li Feng, pouted, sobbed and picked up the net pocket, and followed Li Feng. Needless to say, looking at her like this, it's not okay not to let her go, the bell is full of expectations, and it must be one, Lin Leilei, don't you want to leave me. Now, let's go together.
"Xiaobao, why do you pick water chestnuts today, there are not many old water chestnuts at this time." Sixth uncle, Li Fucai poked his head out of the window of the small shop and said with a smile.
"Hehe, the kid gets some raw food." Li Feng's old face turned red, as if he was so delicious, Xiaoqing held the bell and Mengmeng in his hand, followed by looking at the shop, took out a five-yuan ticket and handed it to Mengmeng, "Buy a few popsicles, the weather is really hot." There was a short stretch of road from Li Feng's house to the village without shade, and several people were sweating.
"Well, auntie, it's so stingy, it's only five dollars." Meng Meng still had a few tears on her face at this time, and she took the money and pouted her mouth and muttered in a low voice.
"Mengmeng, isn't your ass itching again?" This girl is getting more and more troublesome, five dollars is less, the best popsicle here is only one five corners, one for each of the five people, and half of the money is left.
Li Feng watched Mengmeng run to the door of the small store quickly with her little buttocks, skillfully opened the freezer, took five popsicles, took out two yuan and five cents from his pocket and handed them to the sixth uncle, but the five yuan went into his small pocket. Li Feng looked stunned, when did this girl become so obsessed with money.
"Auntie, popsicles." Meng Meng ran to Xiaoqing, kept one, and stuffed the rest to Xiaoqing. "You damn girl, what's the rest of the money?" Xiaoqing asked knowingly, watching Mengmeng pinching the corners of her clothes, lowering her head, shaking her little buttocks, and muttering in a low voice, "It's gone." ”
"Forget it." Xiaoqing thought to herself that she wouldn't be fooled next time, if she would change some change, she glanced at Meng Meng and covered her pockets, this girl is smart, and she prepared change early.
"Give." One popsicle per person, eating it, the whole body is cool, this will Li Feng carefully put the wooden boat down the water with the help of a few children who were playing in the river bay, went up by himself, and rowed the boat to the small pier on the side. "Come on, be careful, don't fall." Li Feng looked at the few little guys who were eager to try, and even Xiaoqing was full of excitement, and he was really afraid that these people would fall into the water for a while.
"Uh-huh." Several little guys nodded in unison, Xiaoqing looked at her niece with excitement on her face, and was afraid that she would really plop into the water for a while.
"Did you hear Mengmeng, if you move around for a while, I won't take you on the boat next time." Xiaoqing made it on the bow of the boat, Li Feng paddled gently, the water chestnut was not far away, looking at the water chestnut seedlings at hand, not to mention Lin Leilei, who was in contact for the first time, the bell rang. Li Feng looked at the excitement on Xiaoqing's face, mixed with a hint of nervousness, wouldn't this be the first time for this person to go into the water to pick water chestnuts. Li Feng guessed correctly this time, water chestnut Xiaoqing has eaten a few times, but it is the first time to actually go into the water.
"Don't pick it up here, let's go inside." Li Feng looked at a few people who were in a hurry, and hurriedly stopped, this is the periphery, there are not many water chestnuts, these days the second child has picked a lot of kids, not to mention, rowing by himself can save more effort than their children. Leave a group of little babies outside to pick it up, Li Feng rowed the boat and walked twenty or thirty meters inside and stopped.
"It's okay here, bell, you and Lei Lei are on the side, don't get together." Li Feng pulled a water chestnut seedling with his hand, there are a lot of them, no one has picked them here, they have tried to pick two of them, some are old, not bad, cook and eat them at night.
"Wow, auntie, you see I picked a big water chestnut." Meng Meng screamed and raised a few purple-red water chestnuts in her small hands, purple-red skin, like ingots, since it is seven or eight centimeters large, Xiaoqing was stunned, this water chestnut only has two horns, and it is very round. Unlike ordinary water chestnuts, three or four horns, the horns are pointy and piercing.
"I'll take a look, oh, this is the vegetable water chestnut, you see, these water chestnut seedlings are not the same as the ordinary leaves, here, here, all of them, the vegetable water chestnut tastes the best when eaten raw, you try it." Li Feng picked a few water chestnuts casually, which were very easy to break, and the shell of the water chestnut was not as hard as the shell of the water chestnut. The water chestnut meat inside is white and large, and the meat alone is much larger than these ordinary water chestnuts.
"It's delicious, crisp, and it's watery, and I like it." Xiaoqing ignored the ordinary water chestnut and specially picked the vegetable water chestnut, and the three little babies were also dedicated to picking the vegetable water chestnut.
Li Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head, he was the same when he was a child, these big water chestnuts look pleasing to the eye, and they can be broken at will, unlike ordinary water chestnuts, because the shell is too hard, it is difficult to break it, and the tender ones are better, but the old ones can't be bitten.
Only poor Li Feng kept picking small water chestnuts, which were especially ripe and had a taste of powder, mixed with mung bean flour and rice flour made into a cold skin, which tasted excellent. Vegetable water chestnut, delicious to eat raw, contains sufficient water, vitamins, various trace elements, such as peeling, put some sweet and sour, sweet and sour water chestnut slices, but the local favorite summer delicacy.
Unconsciously, more than half an hour passed, Li Feng looked at the more and more water chestnuts in the cabin, frowned, and looked at the few people who were still excited, Li Feng was speechless, and quickly stopped.
"Okay, don't pick it off, let's go back." Li Feng estimated that there were already more than ten catties of water chestnuts here, which was enough to eat.
"No, uncle, let's play for a while, okay?" Mengmeng and Bell looked at Li Feng pitifully, they didn't live under their feet at all, they were full of water chestnuts, these girls, Li Feng waved his hand. You see, Xiaoqing and Lin Leilei, the one who wants to go back, can't finish eating it and make it into a cold dish.
"I don't want to pick it for a while." Xiaoqing looked reluctant, what else could Li Feng say, yes.
"Don't patronize picking water chestnuts, pick some old water chestnuts, tomorrow, I will make you water chestnut dough to eat." Li Feng looked at a small pile at his feet, some of which were not enough to make a meal of dough, eating dough in summer, this is Li Feng's favorite. After a delay, several people picked it for another half an hour, and then they reluctantly went ashore. After installing the water chestnut, Li Feng took some effort to get the wooden boat up, went into the water, and planted a lot, and Li Feng had a lot of difficulty carrying it.
"I'll help you." Xiaoqing helped hold the stern of the boat, empty water, Li Feng raised the bow of the boat, and planted at least more than 100 catties, this is still good wood, if it is other wood, maybe, Li Feng only has to lie down.
"Grandparents, you see, we picked a lot of water chestnuts." The three little guys each carried seven or eight catties of water chestnuts, happily returned to the peach forest, and watched the old man come back, all of them proudly holding the water chestnut in their hands.
"Water chestnut? Let me take a look, everyone come and try it, these water chestnuts taste better than water chestnuts, crisp, and full of moisture. Lin Lao was pleasantly surprised, and took the water chestnut handed over by Lei Lei, but he hadn't eaten it for many years, especially the vegetable water chestnut, he bought the water chestnut many times in the supermarket, but there was no vegetable water chestnut.
"Hey, why is this water chestnut so big?" Wang Lao and Cheng Lao are not unknowledgeable, when they went to the countryside, they didn't do much to pick water chestnuts with a group of people in the summer, but such a big water chestnut is rare.
"This is a vegetable water chestnut that is good to eat raw, and it is not delicious if it is boiled without powder, let's try it." Li Feng, with quick hands and feet, peeled off four or five of his speaking skills and put them on the table.
"Don't be busy, we'll do it ourselves, you can take a shower and change your clothes." Li Feng was a little embarrassed at this time, his hair was dripping with water droplets, and his clothes were mostly wet.
"Well, I'm going to change my clothes, bells, don't eat too much, don't eat stagnant food." Telling a few children, Li Feng walked into the house to take a bath and change clothes.
