Gu Licai's father and son finally reluctantly came along, plus Gu Litian and Xu Ling, a total of six people went to the lotus pond to dig lotus roots.

On the way, Gu Licai chatted with Xu Ling, and asked him what he was doing outside, and then said that his youngest son had nothing to do at home.

Xu Ling could hear what he meant, but before he could be embarrassed, his father-in-law Gu Litian opened fire.

"The third child, you are usually too accustomed to small bolts, he is seventeen years old, he can't carry his shoulders and can't lift his hands, and other girls can't look down on him when they come, do you still want him to go out to do business with Ah Ling, can he do it?"

The three brothers of the Gu family are not prosperous, Gu Litian's eldest brother has a son and a daughter, Gu Litian himself is a son and a daughter, but Gu Licai gave birth to two sons and a daughter.

The youngest son, Gu Xiaoshui, was loved by his grandparents all his life, and he Gu Licai was also protected like a baby pimple.

In addition to not being like Xu Ling's fools, Gu Xiaozhuan also has a lot of problems.

Hearing the second uncle say that he was not good, Gu Xiaozhuan muttered: "What's so rare about being a businessman? I just didn't do it, if I did, it would definitely be no worse than Xu Ling. ”

Gu Litian frowned, his eyes widened, and his sense of majesty soared: "Then why are you lazy when your grandmother asks you to chop wood?" ”

The children of the Gu family were afraid of him, so frightened that Gu Xiaoxuan only dared to mumble in his heart and did not dare to speak.

Gu Licai was angry with his second brother for this, and he wanted to scold his son, what did he look like when he scolded his son? He's still there!

However, he also knew that if he dared to say anything, Gu Litian would scold him together, so he simply pretended not to hear it, and when he passed by the door of Zhao Zhen's house, he proudly mentioned that Gu Yao was pregnant.

"Zhao Zhen just told me some time ago that Yaoyao has a body, and when the doll in her belly comes out, she will definitely be like his father when she reads!"

Gu Daliang pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

Gu Litian turned his head and asked Xu Ling, "Have you invited the Zhao family?" ”

Xu Ling really didn't.

First, he has nothing to do with the Zhao family, and secondly, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the original hero and heroine. No invitations were sent out.

Who knew that Gu Litian said: "Zhao Zhen, this kid is a person who can read, I heard that he will take the township exam next year, if this threshold can be crossed, it will be a carp jumping over the dragon gate, which is different from us people." It's all from the same village, it's their business whether they come or not, you should invite it. ”

The last sentence turned out to be somewhat meaningful.

Xu Ling understood what the old man meant.

Shinong businessman, no matter how rich he is, he is just a businessman, and he will inevitably deal with officials like last time.

If you know someone, you are not afraid of anything.

"I know, I'll talk about it in a moment."

"Don't let you go, just go all the way."

Xu Ling didn't understand the difference, but he did it.

A group of people came to the lotus pond, today's weather is gloomy, there are still people digging lotus root in the lotus pond, the originally calm lotus pond, was dug in the east and west, and a lot of mud was thrown on the ridge road.

The men didn't say much, rolled up their sleeves and got to work.

Gu Litian taught Xu Ling some techniques for digging lotus roots, and he was very satisfied when he saw that he quickly mastered them.

When it was Gu Daliang's turn, he was a little annoyed.

"Tell you to light and slow down! After touching it and digging it out slowly, why wouldn't you! ”

The job of digging lotus root requires patience, and the most important thing Xu Ling lacks is patience, and it is obvious that the eldest brother does not have it.

Xu Ling grinned.

They dug for half an hour, Fan Shiqing hugged the eldest girl, took a large number of children to the lotus pond, and said to Xu Ling: "One by one, I have to follow you." ”

Li Dayuan shouted excitedly: "Brother Ling, my grandfather asked me to help you dig together!" ”

He sold the family's pigs to Xu Ling, and his grandfather and father praised him almost endlessly, and they were willing to ask him to play with Xu Ling.

Xu Ping whispered: "What a dog's leg." ”

Since Xu Ling praised Li Dayuan in front of him that day, Xu Ping looked at Li Dayuan a little unpleasantly.

Li Dayuan disagreed, and grinned: "Why don't we compare the two of us to see who digs more?" ”

"Compare to compare!" Xu Ping didn't admit defeat at all, and immediately began to take off his shoes and pants, "Xu An, you help me hold it, I have to look good today!" ”

Xu Ling couldn't stop it, the two children found a place to start digging lotus roots, Xu An rolled his eyes, "It's so naïve." ”

What's so good about going down to the river and dying cold?

She still squatted on the shore to watch her eldest brother dig lotus roots.

Fan Shiqing sat cross-legged under the tree, skillfully let the eldest girl sit on his lap, and poured out some pumpkin seeds from his purse.

The eldest girl didn't grab it, and waited patiently for him to finish peeling it.

"Ahh Eat the melon seeds into your mouth, chew and chew, and open your mouth like a bird to be fed.

"One for each of us, you eat one, this is my turn." Fan Shiqing was not used to her, and tried to reason with the eldest girl.

The sun is slowly peeping out from behind the clouds, and the temperature has warmed up. A gust of autumn wind blew, blowing through the leafless willow, blowing the old man and child under the tree shrunk their necks, and blew on the little girl squatting by the river, she stretched her neck to look at the two teenagers digging lotus root in the river, and waved her hands.

Blowing through the ten miles of lotus pond withered lotus leaves, the water ripples, Xu Ling's scattered hair was also blown, he dug the lotus root seriously, a thin layer of sweat appeared behind his back, and suddenly he saw an unusual fluctuation on the water surface elsewhere, and hurriedly stepped over, and stretched out his hands to dig into the pond mud.

"Big brother! What did you find? Is it fish? Xu An was the first to notice Xu Ling's movements, and hurriedly ran closer to watch.

"I don't know, it should be a big thing." Xu Ling was a little excited in his heart, he pulled the mud to the side, his strength was so strong and fast, that thing couldn't compare to his speed at all.

Soon, Xu Ling felt a little hardness in the mud, and hurriedly shouted: "I touched it!" It's a king! ”

Gu Daliang and the others didn't care about digging lotus roots, so they straightened up and watched him move, "Can you catch it?" ”

"I touched it, it's down there!"

Xu Ling had already grabbed the turtle shell, and he was afraid that Wang Ba would bite him, so he grabbed the back of the armor with both hands and pulled it out.

"Plop!" With a sound, Xu Ling sat down in the pond mud with his buttocks, but grabbed Wang Ba tightly with both hands, "Caught it!" ”

"What a big king!"

Everyone saw that the Wang Ba in Xu Ling's hand was about the size of a palm of two adult men, at least two or three catties.

Gu Daliang laughed and said, "You are really lucky!" ”

Gu Licai's eyes were a little red when he saw it, and he said dryly: "This Wang Ba is so big, I don't know how much silver it can sell." ”

Xu Ling is also gackling, who is not happy to prostitute a wild goods?

He washed Wang Ba in shallow water, took it to the shore and put it in the back basket, and the children were curious.

"Big brother, do you want to sell this Wang Ba?"

"Those who see it have a share, don't forget to share it with us if you sell it!" Gu Xiaoxuan hurriedly said.
