Chapter 131: Departure (1)
After staying in the village for a few days, Li Xin returned to the town with his younger siblings. Because they don't have to go to school recently, Lian Jingnuo and Xiaowang stayed in the village.
Since going to school, the two of them have less time to spend with their families, and it is rare to have a period of rest, so let the two children spend more time with their families! Li Xin's family returned to the town and brought some green corn, some of which they kept to eat at home, and some of which they sent to Pinxiangge.
Although he doesn't plan to sell green corn this year, the relationship between the Li family and the shopkeeper Sun is still very good, so even if he doesn't sell it, he still has to give the shopkeeper Sun a copy if there is anything delicious.
"Sister, some of the lotus canopies in the pond can be collected." Li Xin was sitting under the tree resting, and Wen Hao ran over.
"What's wrong? Craving fresh lotus seeds? Li Xin rubbed Wen Hao's head. Autumn is coming, and the fruits that should be ripe should be ripe, and when will they be ripe when they are not ripe in autumn? Lotus seeds are no exception, and in autumn, it should be ready to be picked. Although the pond in the house is not very large, it can also collect a lot of lotus seeds.
I didn't sell it, but I just ate it in my own house, and it was still enough. In fact, the family prefers to eat fresh lotus seeds, and dried lotus seeds do not like to eat very much. Fresh lotus seeds have a very sweet taste, and in the end, they grow in water, and there is a light feeling when biting, just like the feeling of water, and this taste is still very comfortable to eat.
Of course, the lotus heart is bitter in autumn, and the lotus heart is very bitter. Most people don't like the bitter taste of lotus hearts, so. A handful of dried lotus seeds are to be taken to the heart, and they are generally threaded lotus seeds.
"I kind of want to eat it! I haven't eaten it in a year! Wen Hao leaned on Li Xin's body with a smile.
"You! Don't just think about it all day. Master Zhou has left homework for a few of you, so finish your homework well! Otherwise! I didn't go to school for a long time. You haven't forgotten what you've learned! ”
"Eldest sister, don't worry about it so much, I will do my homework well, and I won't be lazy at any time. However, didn't the eldest sister also say it? You have to study when you should study, and you have to play well when you should play, otherwise, it will not be good to become a nerd in the future. Wen Hao was still smiling, with a smile in his eyes.
"Alright. Okay, I can't even talk about you. I said, when did your mouth become so sharp! But! It's good that you're so well-behaved. I'm just reminding you, otherwise! I don't know when, you'll be lazy. ”
"Eldest sister, I won't! Even martial arts, I practice it every day, and I will not relax at all. ”
"Alright, then we'll go pick lotus flowers." Li Xin pulled Wen Hao to the pond. There is a small bamboo raft at home. put the bamboo raft in the pond, Wen Hao helped row the bamboo raft, and Li Xin took scissors to cut the lotus canopy. After a while, I cut a lot of lotus flowers. This time. Not all lotus pods can be cut, only those that have bloomed at the beginning are suitable for harvesting now.
Because. At this time, there are lotus flowers blooming! Some lotus flowers. It's still too tender to be harvested.
"Big sister. Second brother, you don't tell me if you pick the lotus pod! Suddenly, Yueting also ran to the side of the pond.
"It's Yueting! Don't come down! We're going up now. Li Xin shouted, and let Wen Hao row a bamboo raft to the shore. I've picked a lot of lotus pods, and I'll harvest some of them later! When he landed on the shore, Li Xin went up with the basket on his back. After picking the lotus pod, Li Xin called all the children and peeled lotus seeds for everyone to eat.
Cut the lotus canopy, and you can peel off the lotus seeds one by one.
"Lotus seeds are delicious." Yueting peeled and ate at the same time. The family worked together, but it didn't take long to peel off all the lotus pods that were picked. Some of them were kept and eaten, while others were only dried. There is no refrigerator here, and there is no ice cellar at home, so things are still very fresh.
Moreover, at this time, Li Xin's bracelet was not on his body, but the bracelet could keep food fresh, which was better than the refrigerator.
These days, without that bracelet by my side, I'm really not used to it! Although, it wasn't too useful before, and I really missed it when I wasn't there. I don't know how the drought is going in the north, and whether the situation has eased somewhat. , I don't know if all the victims have been treated.
I don't know when Yin Tianchen will be able to return the bracelet to her. Come to think of it, it's better to be in Jiangnan! Although the south is prone to floods and the like. But! It's still comfortable to live in a place with water, and where there's no water, I always feel a little dead and heavy. Li Xin is a person who likes water very much, even if she goes to the mountains for a walk, if she can't see the stream all the time, she doesn't like it very much.
A mountain with water will feel more agile and vibrant. In fact, she has never liked the northern environment very much, it is too dry, and it is difficult for her to get used to the life in the north after living in the south.
After a few days, there was nothing to do at home, and there was nothing for Zhuangzi to worry about on her side. Li Xin also thought about going to the county town to take a walk and go shopping. First, it was an invitation from Mrs. Zheng's side, and Mrs. Zheng had invited many times, but she had always been a little busy, and she had really never been there since she went once when she bought the carriage.
Second, Wen Hao has been pestering her, saying that she wants to go shopping.
Since there is nothing going on at home and the children want to go shopping, it is better to go for a trip. In fact, it is not far away, and it does not take too much time.
Hearing Li Xin say that he was going to the county seat, several children were very happy, and Wenbo, who had always been like a little adult, also showed some smiles in his eyes. Said he was going, and then he started to prepare. It's rare to go once, and I still have to send some gifts to Mrs. Zheng.
There were still some fruits in the orchard on the Zhuangzi, and I picked some fruits, and then I broke some green corn and brought sweet potatoes. Originally, there were no very valuable things at home, and the Zheng family was not short of money, so there were no valuable things! It is better to spend money to buy some useless gifts, than to give something that you have at home and that others don't have. Although these things are not worth much, they are also novelties, and they can be regarded as a part of their own family!
The day before leaving, Li Xin went back to Osmanthus Village and asked Lian Jingnuo and Xiaowang if they wanted to go to the county seat as well. The two children also wanted to go, and when they saw that Xiaowang was going, Niuniu was also pestering to go. Li Xin also decided to bring them all, but in this case, the carriage would be too crowded.
Originally, if it was just a human being, the house was a two-horse carriage, so it would not seem crowded.
However, if you still have to bring some things, it will be a bit difficult to sit down. Therefore, Li Xin went to the shopkeeper Sun to borrow a carriage, and by the way, even the coachman borrowed it. Shopkeeper Sun is also refreshing, now, the relationship between him and the Li family is very good, and it is naturally impossible to refuse such a simple thing as borrowing something.
"Is there anything you need from Shopkeeper Sun for me to bring back?" Li Xin asked Shopkeeper Sun with a smile.
"No need, Miss Li's family has a good time! It's rare to have such an opportunity to go out and have fun as a family. ”
"Definitely. Since Shopkeeper Sun doesn't have anything to want, then I'll go first! Li Xin smiled and left.
She was still very happy to be able to hang out with the whole family this time. Moreover, Mrs. Zheng is also a very kind and kind person, and she still feels good with Mrs. Zheng. Mrs. Zheng still gave her a sense of intimacy inexplicably, maybe the world is like this! Some people, although they have only met once, are like they have known each other for a long time.
Everything was ready, and early the next morning, the family got up to wash up, had breakfast, and left.
"Haha, it's finally time to go far away." Yueting laughed all the time, and kept opening the curtain to look outside. The scenery outside is still very good, all the way, all the way to see, the mood is really good. Sitting in the carriage, the group was still very happy. It's rare to go on a long trip! Naturally, you have to be happy. (To be continued......)
