In the lotus pond, the verdant lotus leaves, the pink and delicate flower buds, the red and green intertwined water chestnuts, three or five small boats shuttle between the lotus leaves, or full of lotus canopies, or empty boats turn back. By the pond, six or seven women in coarse linen shirts skillfully sorted, sorted, and sorted out, and then packed in baskets and carried away by burly men.

A few maids and mothers-in-law who came from Xiao's Mansion were peeling lotus seeds and water chestnuts.

Greenish-yellow round lotus seeds, white and tender water chestnut. The eldest girl Xilian picked up a lotus pod and handed it to Xiao Yao to introduce: "This is called a lotus pod, there are lotus seeds in it, you can make soup and porridge, the eldest lady can't eat it now, hehe......"

Knowing that I couldn't eat it and talking in such detail, I had never seen such a bully, Xiao Yao turned her head and ignored her and continued to watch the excitement.

"Miss, why don't you take a look, ah......"

I wanted to attract the attention of the young lady, but unexpectedly attracted the little master, Xiao Jun snatched the lotus pod in Xilian's hand, opened his mouth to bite, but the nurse didn't stop him, took a bite and found that it was not delicious, frowned and let go of his hand. Xiao Yao was amused by him, "Hehe, hehe" made you put everything in your mouth, Xiao Jun was not angry, and laughed along with a good temper.

As the sun sets, the tiger-headed boys, the pink-carved girls, and the crisp and cheerful laughter echo on the edge of the pond, making people feel happy to hear it.

"Tonight, let the kitchen make some soup with lotus seeds, brother and sister, let's go back." It's getting dark and the kids should go back to their rooms.

Xiao Yao didn't see enough, shook her head and didn't want to leave, Xiao Jun also shook her head.

"Aren't you tired after an afternoon of shopping today?"

Xiao Yao still shook her head, her small body arching one by one.

"Miss, let's come back tomorrow, okay?" The nurse coaxed. Xiao Yao turned his head to look at the lotus pond, and then looked at the lotus canopy on the ground, "babbling" and refusing.

"Will you pick lotus pods and water chestnuts tomorrow?" Tong Mingyu asked the cook who led the way.

"As long as it doesn't rain these days, I will pick them every day." The cook replied respectfully.

Xiao Yao didn't shake her head again, but smiled big at her mother, you still know me, we have a heart!

The women who were working were amazed, worthy of being young ladies, and the little people were so clever that they were amazing.

The days of the mountain villa are pleasant and leisurely, get up early to listen to the birdsong in the mountains, and enjoy the flowers and fish during the day. In a blink of an eye, the family got together in the villa, Li Jiaoying told Xiao Yao's interesting stories to a few people one by one, Xiao Jingkang hugged his daughter and rubbed her little face with his bearded chin, causing a string of laughter, which made the brothers greedy.

"Ping An is so smart, Ping An is amazing, Ping An ......" Xiao Rui finally saw his sister again, ready to tell all the praises he knew.

"Peace is so pretty, isn't it?" Xiao Jingtai said the last sentence for his nephew, because every time he praised his sister, he ended with this sentence and never changed the word.

"Second Uncle...... You're the bad guy. "It's too bad, when I read a lot of books, I'll have new words, and then it's up to you to laugh at whom.

Xiao Yao put on a smiling face, Fourth Brother, for the sake of you being so supportive, I support you spiritually.

"Let's go, Daddy will take you around the mountains." Xiao Jingkang picked up his daughter with one hand and pinched his son's fleshy little arm with the other, this kid was fat again.

"Xianggong, the child is still young, it's not appropriate to go up the mountain." Tong Mingyu said worriedly.

"I don't go to the top of the mountain, I just look around, and then I look at the waterfall and come back, don't worry."

With the reason that there is no peace of mind, the group left in a dashing manner. The subordinates who are familiar with the road conditions lead the way in front, Xiao Jingkang is holding his daughter, Xiao Jingtai is holding Xiao Jun, and the little fat man Xiao Qi is sleeping at home, and the remaining boys are following behind.

A smooth path, winding up, the faint fruit fragrance with their deep nose, occasionally see a bush of mushrooms, the fragrance of fruits, the freshness of trees, the beauty of nameless wildflowers, intertwined and fused, provoking people to linger and intoxicated.

Xiao Rui picked mushrooms for a while, picked fruits for a while, and pulled wildflowers for a while, busy and happy, Xiao Lang and Xiao Yi were by his side, letting him have fun. Xiao Jun chased Xiao Rui in the arms of his second uncle, jumping up and down in a hurry, "Stinky boy, be honest, do you want to fall!" Xiao Jingtai tightened his arms, if his mother-in-law and maid hugged him, this kid would have to fall to the ground. Xiao Yao is pure sightseeing, the opportunity is rare, I don't know when I will come next time?

After about a quarter of an hour, halfway up the mountainside, a waterfall like a white curtain falls from the cracks in the stones, the sound of gurgling water, crisp and continuous, against the backdrop of a piece of green, picturesque. The waterfall is not big, the upper part is very imposing, and at the bottom the water flow gradually decreases, forming a pool of water, which is crystal clear.

The next person said that there is a kind of small fish at the bottom of the pool, and the meat is delicious. Xiao Lang and Xiao Yi were eager to try their skills, but unfortunately they didn't bring fishing gear, hey! What a fly in the ointment!

After seeing the beautiful scenery and embarking on the way home, the road met the hunters on the Zhuangzi, rabbits, pheasants, and actually hunted roe deer and a wild boar.

A sumptuous lunch was served, and Xiao Jingtai patiently introduced to his niece, what is the name of this, and what is the taste of that. Xiao Yao "babbled" and cooperated, this painting style is not right, what about saliva? When everyone moved the chopsticks, Xiao Yao shouted at Xiao Jun "shhh

Seeing the second uncle who jumped up, Xiao Yao looked much more innocent than her brother, and she looked like she was very sleepy and wanted to sleep, lying on the nurse's shoulder. The fifth brother has not peed for a long time, what a large map, give it to my dear second uncle, I hope you eat well! Drink well!

When Xiao Yao woke up from a nap, there were a few of them left in the Zhuangzi, they really came and went in a hurry, only the second uncle got a special gift, I hope he will like it.

There are too many novelties in the villa, and Xiao Jun and Xiao Qi are very interested in animals such as cows, horses, and chickens, and their eyes will always follow them, and they will ask to chase them all the way to the end. The nurses and maids did not dare to relax for a moment, lest they touch or hurt the little master. Xiao Yao loves to go to the water's edge because it's cool there! On a hot day, it is very pleasant to sit in the pavilion or water pavilion, watch the swimming fish, and smell the flowers.

After relaxing for a few days, Tong Mingyu and Li Jiaoying began to pack all kinds of fruits and vegetables, mountain delicacies, and game to bring back......

Xiao Yao saw that her mother and second aunt commanded her subordinates to carry things, and sighed secretly, this is going home, life flies so fast, and she is about to leave in a blink of an eye. If you travel to the farming text, every day and the green mountains and green waters, think about it and shake your head, the life of the common people is even more sad, respect and humility, the official and the people are so distinct, and they have no golden fingers and abilities, and they are at ease to be the eldest lady of the Xiao family, the good granddaughter of the grandparents, the little padded jacket of the father, the good sister of the brothers, don't be greedy, be content, you are already very lucky.

Shaking his head again, nodding again, the expression on his face changed uncertainly, Tong Mingyu and Li Jiaoying put down the things in their hands and came around, what does this kid want to do?

"Ping, what's wrong with you?" Tong Mingyu hugged her daughter from the nurse's arms, the weight has not changed, it is still very light, and she has to think of something to make up for her.

"Sister-in-law, I guess Ping An is reluctant to leave the villa, look at the frowns." Li Jiaoying had a look that I guessed correctly.

"The more you talk about it, the more outrageous it becomes, how old is she, no matter how smart she is, she is also a milk doll, and she is like a goddess descending from heaven by you."

"I used to feel peaceful, and I couldn't tell who I looked like, but my sister-in-law reminded me, isn't it like a little fairy!"

Tong Mingyu thinks that the intelligence of her younger sibling and daughter should be about the same, no wonder she used to have so much fun, partner! simply put the child in her arms: "You two have fun, I'll be busy." "Seeing that you have a headache, Li Jiaoying hugged the soft and tender ball in her arms and left happily.
