Qiao Liu sighed softly: "I don't know, maybe it's because I've experienced so many things during this time, and I feel a little at a loss." ”

Qiao Yan's hand shook Qiao Liu's hand in the quilt: "Second sister, don't worry about it anymore, it's okay, let's get a good night's sleep." ”

"Hmm." Qiao Liu closed his eyes, said nothing more, and fell asleep after a while.

Qiao Li turned over at this time and asked, "Third sister, do you think the eldest sister is very cowardly and incompetent?" I can't always protect you. ”

Qiao Yi laughed softly after hearing this: "Eldest sister, why do you think like this, what's wrong with our sisters?" Why are you starting to think about it today? ”

"It's really not me thinking nonsense, third sister, you also know that Liu Er has always been very aggressive, she is like this by nature, and today she has thought a lot more than I do, which shows that even if she is as cheerful as she is, she feels that it has been an eventful time recently." Qiao Li let out a vague sigh, which made Qiao Yi have an almost ungraspable illusion in the dark and silent night.

Qiao Yan sat up and leaned against the inner wall: "Third sister, in fact, even if no one says it, everyone has found out, compared to before, you have changed a lot, you were very obedient and well-behaved before, you never liked to talk much, you just followed Qiao Yan's ass every day, and let her instruct you." Now you are very assertive, there are many, many ideas, you can help our family, you really look like an adult, to be honest, you are very happy to see your eldest sister like this. ”

Qiao Yi rubbed the tips of his hair with his fingers, just listened to Qiao Li's words, and didn't say anything, Qiao Li turned her head and tried to see Qiao Yan's appearance clearly in the dark: "Third sister, you are actually very good like this, the eldest sister likes you very much now, I believe, they are the same." ”

Qiao Yi buried his head in the quilt and laughed sullenly: "Knowing the eldest sister, I also like you like you like this gentle but weak." ”

Qiao Li smiled and bent her eyebrows: "Really? However, you still have to pay attention, how old are you now? Be careful no matter what, whether it's bright or dark, you always have someone to walk with you, at all times. ”

"I know!" Qiao Li rubbed her cheeks: "Sleep quickly, big sister, you, don't worry about me, I will take care of myself, I still understand the truth of eating a trench and growing wise." ”

Qiao Li slowly lay down and got into the quilt: "It's good that you know, the eldest sister doesn't want to talk about anything anymore, it's good if you know it in your heart, then you should go to bed early." After speaking, he stretched out his hand to straighten the corners of the quilt, turned sideways and was about to fall asleep.

Qiao Yi just silently said "um", and also turned over and fell asleep.

Qiao Yi slept very deeply, and the bright night sky, the burning bonfire, the gentle and low soothing young voice, and the broad and warm ......chest always appeared in his dreams, "Gardenia, Gardenia, wake up!" Qiao Yan opened his eyes and saw Qiao Liu's magnified face in front of him, Qiao Yan was startled: "Second sister, why are you so close to me, it scared me." ”

Qiao Liu rolled his eyes calmly: "I didn't want to scare you, get up for breakfast, are you uncomfortable?" Why are you up so late today? ”

Qiao Yi raised his eyes and looked out the window, the sunlight outside had quietly climbed the treetops, and he was indeed late when he saw it. Qiao Yi lifted the quilt and prepared to get dressed and get up: "I have nothing to do, maybe I slept late yesterday, so I was a little sleepy today and got up late." ”

Qiao Liu looked helpless: "Yesterday I said that I should go to bed early, but I slept so late, it's true." ”

Qiao Yi hurriedly made a gesture of surrender: "Second sister, you let me go, I said something wrong, I went to bed very early yesterday, even if I doze up late, okay?" ”

"Forget it, it's not a big deal, by the way, our father and mother have already gone to the market, and when they saw that you didn't wake up, they didn't tell you, and left directly." Qiao Liu said babblingly.

Qiao Yi nodded: "I know." As he spoke, he followed Qiao Liu out of the door, and immediately sat down and ate after washing.

Qiao Cheng and Zhang were not at home, and Qiao Li picked up a needle and thread to sew up her clothes after cooking. Qiao Yi looked up at the branches dancing in the wind and smiled at Qiao Liu: "Second sister, look, it's okay now anyway, why don't you take me to our depression to have a look." ”

Qiao Liu looked at Qiao Yan with a puzzled expression: "Our depression? Isn't that the pond? What's so nice about that? How did you remember to go there? Qiao Li also took over: "You better stay at home honestly for me!" Although the pond road is not as far as Nanshan, it is not close, so you have just stopped, and you have to run there again? ”

Qiao Yi pursed her lips dissatisfiedly: "Eldest sister, I didn't go by myself, my second sister also went with me, don't you feel at ease?" Besides, this pond depression is not far from our house at all, but the road is a little detoured. After speaking, he glanced at Qiao Liu, who had pulled out a handful of weeds and was bored with a straw hat.

Qiao Liu, who was on the side, looked at Qiao Yan and squeezed his eyebrows at him, only then did he react violently, and immediately coughed a few times and said: "Yes, eldest sister, you can't stop letting the third sister go out in the future, you can rest assured that I will accompany her today, I will never let her leave my sight, and besides, the pond is not far away, and there are more people on the road in the busy season now." ”

Qiao Li raised her head and glared at Qiao Liu lightly: "I just don't worry about you, look at your big grin, I'm really not at ease all along, let you take the third sister out, if she falls into the pond, you can't swim, so what can I do?" ”

Qiao Yi couldn't help but be embarrassed: "Where is it so accurate to fall into the pond, eldest sister, you really think too much, don't worry, I will definitely stay away from the pond, and I will definitely not be close to the pond within three meters, you can let the second sister supervise me, right, second sister, second sister?" ”

Qiao Liu, who was pulled by Qiao Yi's call, hurriedly responded: "Ah, oh, yes, eldest sister, don't keep worrying so much, I will be optimistic about the third sister, besides, there is no one on the other side of the pond, isn't there Uncle Dong and Grandma Dong living nearby?" And there is Uncle Fu's family. You'd better stay at home and take care of your home, we'll go back soon! ”

After finishing speaking, he pulled Qiao Yi and ran out, Qiao Li couldn't catch up and couldn't stop him, so he immediately said a few words behind him.

Qiao Liu pulled Qiao Yi to run for a while, then stopped and glanced at each other, and couldn't help but bend down and laugh. Qiao Liu and Qiao Yi walked slowly on the road, and couldn't help but ask, "You still didn't answer why you went to the pond just now?" You know, too, I'm very curious, and I'll be annoyed if you don't tell me. ”

Qiao Yi couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Okay, it's actually not a big deal, didn't you mention to our father last time that you wanted to raise fish in the pond?" My dad will definitely buy the fry today, so I want to take advantage of the pond to have a look. ”

Qiao Liu listened and nodded: "That's right, I've been to our pond several times, but it's beautiful, I don't know when it was heavy by whom, and the pond blooms all over the pond every summer, I still remember it, but it seems to be like this when I remember, so it should have been planted by predecessors." ”

Qiao Yi was very surprised when he heard it: "Really? That's really going to take a good look, lotus flowers are very useful, can't help but flowers can be ornamental and edible and medicinal value, but also provide lotus seeds and lotus roots, have we eaten before? ”

As expected, Qiao Liu shook his head seriously: "No, no one wants this depression itself, and I didn't take care of it after it was given to our family, so I kept it like this, but, third sister, I've heard of lotus seeds, but what is a lotus root?" ”

Qiao Yi didn't think that the people here had never eaten lotus root, and he was a little stunned for a while: "Well, I think about it, it's something that grows in water, it's a long food as thick as an arm of lotus roots, there are many holes in it, and there are many ways to use it, among which winter stewed soup, fried lotus root box and noodle lotus root are very delicious." ”

Qiao Liu nodded, but looked at Qiao Yan curiously and asked, "By the way, Third Sister, I have always forgotten about it before, but today I suddenly remembered to ask you, how do you know this?" Floral purse, osmanthus soaking wine and the lotus root you mentioned today, I haven't heard you say it before? ”

Because Qiao Yi, who had been worried about being asked, had already thought about how to deal with everyone when they asked, but he didn't expect that only Qiao Liu asked about himself, Qiao Yan hurriedly brought out the statement that had been prepared a long time ago: "Those ways to make money can come up with some as soon as you think about it, the medicinal value of these flowers and the edible lotus root is what I happened to see in the book of Xiao Si, didn't his husband's uncle give him some books?" I'll check it out if I have one. ”

Qiao Liu couldn't help but think of Qiao Yi, who often went into the small fourth room to read, and couldn't help but pout: "His room is almost full of books, and his husband gave a lot of them, the first few times my uncle came to our house, he brought him a lot of books every time, and only you can go into his room to read if you are fine, but I can't read it." ”

Qiao Yi laughed when he heard this: "I don't have anything to do, it's boring, some of his books are still quite interesting, there are also some books about herbal medicine, and the explanations and annotations are also quite interesting, you have never liked to read books, it would be good for you to be literate." ”

Qiao Liu nodded: "It's true!" ”

The two smiled and walked along the path by the field, greeting the villagers passing by from time to time, and walked for a while, only to see a few willow trees swaying in the wind in the distance, and then a "green" pond, only to see that the lotus leaves covered in the pond are constantly turning in the wind like waves, and the lotus flowers are slim and graceful under the cluster of lotus leaves, and the colors are bright and lovable.
