The next morning, Huang Dou and Huang Tao went to Huang Delei's house and met the carpenter, and Huang Dou also drew a design drawing for him on the spot and made requests.

Because there are still some furniture and bits and pieces of furniture in the room picked by Huang Dou, the carpenter master also has to prepare materials, and he said that he will come to work in two days.

Huang Dou called Huang Deluo to find someone to help in the afternoon, clean up this baby room, and move everything to another room.

A busy morning passed, and at noon I went to Huang Tao's house for a meal, and came back to take a shower and take a nap. woke up and called Huang Tao, and the sisters walked together to the small bridge where they met Xiaolian yesterday.

When I got to Xiaoqiao, I saw Xiaolian standing under the shed of the noodle stall and looking this way. When they saw the soybeans coming, they immediately ran over with joy.

"The two sisters came so early, should they leave now or escape the heat here."

"Now, isn't it cool on the lake?" Soybeans called the shots.

"Okay, then you come with me, be careful when going downhill, the grass will be a little slippery." Xiaolian said, leading the way in front, and Huang Dou followed behind with Huang Tao.

got on the canopy boat, although the boat was used for fishing, there was no fishy smell, and it was very clean. Huang Dou let Huang Tao sit in the cabin, and sat at the door of the cabin to talk to Xiaolian who was holding the boat.

"Isn't your boat fishing, why doesn't it smell fishy?"

"My sister is really careful, my father fell and injured his leg, it's been almost half a year, and he hasn't gotten better, so now my family can only rely on me to sell something to make a living." Xiaolian replied patiently while holding the boat.

"What about your mother?" Huang Tao couldn't help but ask out loud.

"My mother had a massive hemorrhage when she gave birth to my younger brother, and it dragged on for a few years, and she died two years ago." Xiaolian looked away, and Huang Dou couldn't see her expression, but he could also imagine that she was not comfortable.

"I'm sorry, I really don't know." Yellow Peach is a little embarrassed.

"Nothing." Xiaolian smiled like a flower in a blink of an eye: "The front is at the mouth of the lake, and you can see the lotus leaves when you turn around." ”

When the soybeans and yellow peaches heard her, they hurriedly stretched out their heads to look, and saw only a piece of water, and the barren grass and green trees on the shore, and the rest were the birds that occasionally passed by.

Soon, a turn was turned, and a large expanse of open water came into view.

In the distance is the flying green, and sure enough, it is a lotus pond.

"If you want to go in and have a look, we can take a boat into the lotus pond and take a turn. However, not everywhere you can get there, and in some places the lotus leaves are too dense to get in. Xiaolian put down the oar and looked back at the soybean sisters.

"If you think there's something worth seeing, you can take us around." Soybeans don't matter, and yellow peaches don't matter.

"Okay, then I'll take you to a loose place." With that, Xiaolian picked up the sculls again and rowed.

"Xiaolian, what's wrong with your arm." Huang Dou always felt that something was wrong with Xiaolian's arm.

"Yesterday, I met a scoundrel selling flowers, and I was hit and twisted my arm." After Xiaolian finished speaking, she was probably afraid that the soybean sisters would not be worried about her skills, so she hurriedly explained: "However, it's okay, I took my father's medicine and wine last night, and it's already fine, and rowing won't hinder it." ”

Huang Tao and Huang Dou glanced at each other, and sure enough, it was her who the uncle said yesterday.

"Oh, stop over there, I see the water is good." The soybean pointed to a thin lotus leaf.

Xiaolian didn't say anything, knowing that this young lady was considerate of her, and obediently rowed the boat to the place where Huang Dou said.

"Sister, you come out and take a look, you can see lotus flowers here, and there." Huang Dou stood up and looked around, bent down and beckoned Huang Tao to come out.

Huang Tao hunched out of the small canopy, took Huang Soybean's hand, and stood on the board of the boat to look into the distance.

The wind on the surface of the lake is cool, faintly mixed with the fragrance of lotus leaves. It doesn't feel hot and dry, but has a refreshing feeling.

"Xiaolian, how old are you?" Huang Dou and Huang Tao looked at the scenery for a while, sat down, and chatted with Xiaolian.

"Fifteen."

"Oh, you're a year younger than me. Do you have an in-law? Huang Dou asked casually.

Xiaolian's face was still blushing, but then it turned slightly pale: "I haven't decided to marry yet, but a matchmaker has said it." It's just that my mother died, my father was injured again, and I want to take care of my younger siblings at home for a few years. ”

Huang Dou sighed in his heart, it is not easy.

"Then if the other party is sincere, they will definitely understand you." Huang Tao comforted her.

"It doesn't matter if you can't meet sincerity for the time being, I'm still young, and it's okay to wait for two years." Xiaolian's face turned slightly red again.

Looking at Xiaolian, who blushed blushing, Huang Dou and Huang Tao subconsciously changed the topic, a girl like her will definitely have a good marriage.

A lotus pond, because the season is still early, there are indeed not many lotus flowers. If you want to pick lotus flowers, you have to row into it, which is not so easy. Huang Dou couldn't help blushing a little when he thought about the eight flowers he bought yesterday and paid back five cents.

"How many flowers did you sell yesterday, I look at this piece, and there are not many flowers, don't you pick a few lotus flowers, you have to go around a big circle?" Huang Dou looked at Xiaolian, but he didn't expect this beautiful and good-looking girl to be really powerful.

"Yesterday you bought eight flowers, and then you came back and picked another eight. One was trampled by a scoundrel, and seven were bought by a helping son, who gave me a tael of silver. Xiaolian remembered that she had earned more than one or two pieces of silver yesterday, and she was very happy.

Hey, my uncle said yesterday that he would buy it for ten cents. Yellow peach and soybean looked at each other.

When the boat rowed back, Xiaolian also pointed to the river embankment in the distance: "My family lives over there." ”

Huang Dou squinted his eyes, and there was indeed a small village mud house in the distance, but it was too far away to see clearly.

When he came back, Huang Dou also asked Xiaolian's opinion, and with her consent, Huang Dou picked a few lotus leaves and took them back. She plans to make a lotus leaf glutinous rice rib rice tomorrow to try, or try lotus leaf called flower chicken.

Listening to soybeans, you can use lotus leaves to make several delicacies, and when the time comes, try it in the hotel, not only Huang Tao is interested, but even Xiaolian is also very interested.

"Two sisters, if you can really make something delicious, you can make a decision with me if you need lotus leaves, is it okay? I promise to send you the best and freshest lotus leaves every day. Xiaolian looked at the soybeans and peaches with blank eyes.

This is a little girl who works very hard to survive, very smart, but not annoying.

"Okay, I don't know if I can make it, if necessary, we will look for you." Huang Tao saw that her sister was silent, and hurriedly replied, in the end, she was the boss.

"Hey." Xiaolian rowed happily, as if she was about to have another sum of lotus leaves.

Back at home, the soybean put the lotus leaf in a pot and soaked it in lightly salted water. In the evening, she is going to cook a lotus leaf porridge to taste.

When Zhao Dashan came back, he smelled the fragrance from the kitchen, and couldn't help but run to the door of the stove room and ask Soybean: "Doudou, what delicious did you make?" ”

"Lotus leaf porridge, just boiled, you have to wait a while before you can eat, do you want to take a bath first?"

"No, you don't." Zhao Dashan said and picked up the shovel and walked to the backyard: "I'll go and tidy up the vegetable patch." ”

Soybeans fried a stir-fried bitter gourd, a loofah scrambled egg, and put the lotus leaf porridge out to cool, before going to the backyard to call Zhao Dashan to eat.

Zhao Dashan, who was shirtless, his sturdy body was covered with fine beads of sweat, and when he heard Huang Dou calling him, he straightened his waist, wiped his sweat with a sweat towel, agreed, and went to get the gown that was put aside and put it on.

The soybean quickly turned around and left, unable to look, and couldn't pull out the beads in his eyes after seeing too much.

The lotus leaf porridge in the bowl has a faint fragrance, not strong, and if you are careless, you can even ignore this aroma. The soybeans in the porridge are also sprinkled with a handful of wolfberries, and the white porridge is red wolfberry, and the color is still very good.

Zhao Dashan doesn't like to eat bitter gourd, and soybeans actually don't like to eat either, and he feels that it is good for his health, so he frowned and ate two pieces, and forced Zhao Dashan to eat two pieces before stopping.

After eating, looking at the bitter gourd that was poured out, Zhao Dashan said that it was a pity, the oil and salt were wasted.

Hearing this, Huang Dou laughed directly and bent over, Zhao Dashan, who came out of poverty, still couldn't change his thrifty nature.

"Brother Dashan, what about those bricks?" Soybean had already laid down and was ready to sleep, thinking of her three gold bricks again.

"You can't take a whole piece out at once, it's too eye-catching." Zhao Dashan put his hands behind his head, lay on his back on the bed, and looked at the roof beams.

"Then what should I do, I keep smashing and I can't bite down." Huang Dou looked at Zhao Dashan with annoyance, he couldn't use it, so it was better not to pick it up.

"I'm looking for someone, but I can't rush it for the time being, and I have to be sure to make a move." Zhao Dashan stretched out a hand and patted Soybean's knee: "It's okay, don't worry, there must be a way." ”

"I'm not in a hurry, I just want to buy two more boats, by the way, should we buy some people, the second brother-in-law wants to buy people, I asked him to help us pay attention." Huang Dou yawned and asked Zhao Dashan.

"If you want to buy it, you have to use your own people to run the boat in the future, what kind of do you want to buy?" Zhao Dashan turned over, holding his head in one palm and looking at the soybeans.

"Teens and twenties, it's useless to be too old, right?" Soybeans don't really understand.

"Being young has the advantage of being young, and it's not easy to buy at this age. The old ones are cheap, but the ones who go to sea are definitely not good. Zhao Dashan also frowned.

Huang Dou simply lay down, held his chin and chatted with Zhao Dashan: "Then what should I do?" We are not a big family, we have a family and have children, and now we can only rely on slow accumulation. ”

"Well, wait for the news from the second brother-in-law, let's go to the tooth shop to have a look, maybe lucky, there is a suitable one?" Zhao Dashan looked at Huang Dou and yawned one after another, and patted her quilt: "Sleep." ”

"Well, I'm going to wake up early tomorrow, you remember to call me." Soybean said and lay down.

"Why do you wake up early?" Zhao Dashan asked strangely.

"Cook for you. I want to be a good daughter-in-law. Huang Dou was already a little dazed as he spoke.

"Fool, no, I'll do it myself tomorrow." Zhao Dashan looked at the soybeans who had fallen asleep and couldn't help but smile.

"No, I'll do ......"

"Beanie?" Zhao Dashan shouted tentatively, now he is completely asleep!
