In the next few days, Lin Shuang followed his grandmother to catch up with him and accompanied his grandfather to the net twice. On the last day, I went into the water alone to harvest water chestnut. Water chestnut grows in the river, and the fruit is hidden under the leaves, under normal circumstances, you can only pick up one or two flowers close to the water stack, pick a few tender water chestnuts, and taste the taste.

Water chestnut is too tender to eat in the mouth has a kind of astringent feeling, when the length is just right, pick one and throw it in the mouth, the taste is very sweet. When the water chestnut grows a little longer, it can only be boiled in water to eat, and at that time, it is the rustling, noodle feeling in the mouth. These three flavors depend on each person's favorite, and each has its own merits.

When Lin Shuang went down to the river to pick water chestnuts, her grandmother moved a chair and sat by the river to watch her. It happened that the neighbor next door also came to join in the fun, so the two old ladies sat by the river and chatted about the mountains and seas, and Lin Shuang moved a bathtub and asked. When he first went down to the river, Lin Shuang couldn't figure out the skills of balancing the bathtub, but the young man had a flexible brain, and after two more attempts, he got the hang of it.

Lin Shuang sat in the bathtub, stretched out his two hands and picked a water chestnut very casually, and put the root of the water chestnut upwards, and you could see the water chestnut hidden in the water chestnut leaves. One by one they looked delicate. Lin Shuangcai was very happy, "The little girl who picks water chestnuts, sitting in the bathtub and turning water chestnuts ......" casually changed the humming of the lyrics. It didn't take much effort, and there were already a lot of water chestnuts piled up in the bathtub.

"Grandma, you can help me get some water chestnuts. I can't put it in the basin. Lin Shuang felt that he could do it again. Although there are a lot of water chestnuts just turned over, it is still a bit insufficient. You have to keep a little for your grandmother, and then take some to the city, and you have to share a point for the good people. Therefore, it is estimated that there are not many who can remain in their own hands.

On the afternoon before leaving, Lin Shuang had been working as a diligent little bee, calculating how much water chestnut to collect to be enough for distribution. While calculating, Lin Shuang suddenly thought of Qin Dou, who he hadn't seen for a long time. Would you like to send one to his family as well? Grandpa said that Qin Dou and his family went out. I haven't seen him back in the past few days. I don't know if I'll be able to see him when I get back to the city.

When he came, he had a big bag, and when he went back, Lin Shuang was also full of big bags and small bags. Water chestnut is divided into two parts, one is raw and one is cooked. There is also a cardboard box of eggs, which is filled with straw between the eggs, and it is not easy to bump in the hand. Grandma Lin and Grandpa Lin helped deliver it to the station at the entrance of the village.

"When I get the admission letter, I have to call back and talk about it. Let's be happy too. Get it! "Grandpa is most concerned about this, and he has been talking about this issue a lot in the past few days. The dreams of the second generation of scholars are all hanging on Lin Shuang's body. It's a bit stressful, however, it's also a sweet burden. Sitting on the bus, Lin Shuang felt that the breath of freedom in the village was leaving him.

bumpy all the way to the city, Lin Shuang didn't rush to get out of the car, carrying so many things, there was no need to squeeze with them. When everyone was empty, Lin Shuangcai laboriously carried the box and got out of the car. As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Lin Zhihong pushing a bicycle and standing at the exit waiting for her. Seeing that she was carrying so many things, she greeted her: "Come on, come on, I'll carry it." Stuff comes heavy. Why don't you wait for me to go back and get it? ”

"I came up in a car, not all the way." Lin Shuang felt that he was seen as a little doll, and he couldn't carry a little heavy thing. "By the way, Dad, this time I went down to the river to turn over all the water chestnuts. There are raw water chestnuts and cooked water chestnuts. Eat when you get home. It tastes too good. Lin Shuang gave himself a credit.

"Really. But don't you know how to water? How did you go down to the river by yourself. Lin Zhihong thought of this question at once. This little lady has never been in the water, a standard landlubber. As soon as he thought of this, Lin Zhihong was shocked and sweated. "You won't go down to the river? What if something happens to you! ”

Lin Shuang blinked indifferently: "It's just me and grandpa and grandma at home." Are you asking them to go into the water? "In a word, General! Lin Zhihong has nothing to say. I held it for a long time before I said: "In the future, when I go back, I will turn over the water chestnut!" ”

"When you go back, Elder Diamond Horn. I can't eat anymore! "When the water chestnut is tender, the outer shell can be removed with a gentle flick of a fingernail. But after becoming an elder, you have to bite with your teeth, and those with bad teeth may not be able to bite off.

"You're not allowed to go down the river anyway, you know!" Lin Zhihong turned over and over with such a sentence. Along the way, Lin Shuang obediently followed behind Lin Zhihong, the carton was tied to the back seat of the car, and the water chestnut was hung on the head of the car. "Today, your mother knows that you are coming back, so I went to buy a chicken and prepared to cook spicy chicken for you to come back to eat."

As soon as he heard that he had to eat, Lin Shuang felt that the soles of his feet were windy. The father and daughter hurried home and went to the glass shop.
