Liu Xiangxiang and the others listened carefully, and when they saw that Luo Qinghe had not had a few stitches, the outline of a lotus flower had been outlined on the rag, and they were all amazed.

"Everyone has some differences in talent, but as long as you are willing to work hard, you can still do the middle and upper level." Luo Qinghe said.

"Qinghe, we will learn seriously." Liu Xiangxiang and a few people assured.

"But what my grandmother said before is right, it takes a lot of eyes to do embroidery, even if you want to learn seriously, you can't do it overnight, spend some time doing it every day, otherwise you will break your eyes, and you will suffer from yourself." Luo Qinghe said seriously.

"I know, I'm your sister-in-law, I've eaten a few years more than you, can I understand this." Liu Xiangxiang tapped the tip of Luo Qinghe's nose and smiled.

Luo Qinghe smiled and touched his head.

"You guys stay at home, we're going to the pond." Wang Guihua entered the house and said to Liu Xiangxiang and a few others.

"Milk, I'm going, the lotus root is not easy to dig, I'll follow along." Luo Qinghe got up and looked forward to it.

"Well, wear more, the wind is a little cool at night." Wang Guihua nodded in agreement and said a few words.

Old man Luo and his entourage walked to the pond at the end of the village, Luo Qinghe was the first time to take this road, and they were looking left and right all the way.

After walking all the way, I didn't find a house, "Milk, is there no one behind?" ”

"Well, it's a bit out of the way here, except for people who go up the mountain to come here, there aren't many people in normal times." Wang Guihua nodded and said.

"Oh, our family used to live so far away, it's better to be cleaner this way." Luo Qinghe said.

"You little man still knows that you are pure, and you are the most noisy time at your age." Wang Guihua said with a smile.

"I'm not making a fuss, I'm good." Luo Qinghe retorted cheekily.

"Hahaha, yes, you're good, the most well-behaved." Wang Guihua echoed with a smile.

After seeing the dead branches and leaves in a pond in the distance, Luo Qinghe smiled, it is a lotus pond, although it is such a scene now, but spring has come, and it will not be long before the dry lotus in winter will give birth to "sharp corners".

"Where does the lotus root grow?" Wang Guihua looked at the pond and said, "Grow at the bottom? ”

"Yes, first touch the edge of the pond, the lotus root grows in the silt, very long, section by section, you can find it by stepping on it, and then dig down the lotus root with your hands, slowly shake it, let the silt loosen, and then the whole root can be lifted." Luo Qinghe said the steps.

In the era of the development of the Internet, even if he had not personally experienced digging lotus roots, but he knew all the steps of the process, Luo Qinghe did not dare to say that he was a jack of all trades, but how could he be a jack of all trades in ancient times.

Luo Changgen and Luo Dagen began to undress, bare-chested, and the rest of the middle pants went down the pond, the edge of the pond was not very deep, and when they stepped down, the water was just above their knees.

The two walked around as Luo Qinghe said, and Luo Dagen stopped first.

"There is something in the mud, hard, it may be the lotus root that Qinghe said." Luo Dagen was very excited, bent down and dug with his hands, "It's really long, I can't dig to the end." ”

"I caught it." Luo Dagen slowly shook from side to side, the silt loosened, the resistance became smaller, and when he pulled, Luo Dagen grabbed a long strip, section by section, and the earthy brown lotus root stained with silt came up.

Luo Qinghe's eyes lit up, "It's a lotus root, it's a lotus root." ”

"That's the lotus root, it's so long, this one can be eaten several times." Wang Guihua looked at the lotus root that was almost two or three feet long, and said with joy.

After Luo Dagen dug it out, he was full of energy, put the lotus root on the edge of the pond, and continued to dig.

Luo Changgen also dug it up, grinning happily, "This one has to be seven or eight pounds." ”

Hearing this, Wang Guihua ignored the mud, and directly picked up the lotus root that Luo Dagen had just put up, "Haha, don't say it, it's really heavy, oops, look at this gratifying appearance." ”

After a while, Luo Changgen and Luo Dagen had already dug up ten lotus roots.

Old man Luo, Liu Lan and Tian Cuizhu took the back basket and put the lotus root in it, and half of it was exposed outside, and only four or five could be placed in a back basket.

"Dad, my sister-in-law and I will carry it back first, and then come back to get it." Tian Cuizhu picked up the lotus root and said.

"Okay."

"Qinghe, you also go back, teach Xiao He and a few of them to wash the lotus root together, and make a taste for you at night." Wang Guihua said with a smile.

"Good milk." Luo Qinghe nodded and agreed, "Grandpa, grandma, don't dig too much, come and dig again tomorrow when you sell it, this lotus root is not easy to break in the mud." ”

"Oh, yes." Wang Guihua nodded in agreement, and said happily, "Wait until it must be cleaned up, but you can't let the people in the village see anything wrong, these have to be our family." ”

Luo Qinghe snickered, and then followed Tian Cuizhu and Liu Lan's steps.

"I didn't expect there to be such a thing under this pond, lotus root, that's the name." Tian Cuizhu said with a smile, "This one is old, and now I have dug up so many roots, but your father and uncle haven't dug much place yet, and how many catties have to be dug out." ”

"But will anyone really buy this? Don't know if it's good or not? No one else knows, what can I do if I don't buy it......" Tian Cuizhu chattered along the way, sometimes happy and sometimes worried.

Luo Qinghe covered her mouth and snickered, Liu Lan shook her head and smiled, this brother and sister are not yet Qinghe's calm, although she has so many thoughts in her heart, but at least she can't bear to say it.

Luo Yougen, Luo Jiadi, and Luo Jiashu were at home, and they filled the water tanks at home with water, and the wooden basins and barrels were also full, waiting for the family to dig up the lotus root and come back to clean it.

The creek is always outside, although it is dark now, there are not many people in the village who go to wash things, and they will not go to the door of their own house to wash, but it is difficult to guarantee it, and when the three of them carry water, they have seen several people in the village, and they are all here to carry water, after all, the closer to the top, the clearer the stream water, and the household water is picked upstream.

When Liu Lan and Tian Cuizhu came back with a basket on their backs, Luo Jiashu was the first to greet them.

"Mother, second aunt, what kind of lotus root was dug up?" Luo Jiashu took the basket on Tian Cuizhu's shoulder and asked with a smile.

Luo Jiadi took it from his mother's back, and scolded with a smile, "You really have to change your out-of-the-box temperament, you are so old, and you can still see the shape of food, the boss is not small, and you don't fight for face." ”

"Uncle, look at the eldest brother, every time he teaches me, I don't do anything, as if he is not curious." Luo Jiashu looked at Luo Yougen's complaint.

"Jiadi is curious and curious in my heart, you are worse than Jiadi, showing it on your face." Luo Yougen smiled and quipped, "No wonder my mother is worried that you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

"Uncle, you have changed, you have changed to me." Luo Jiashu looked "deeply shocked", and covered his chest exaggeratedly with one hand.
