Born Back To Qinghe Farm House
CHAPTER 21 (LATAE ROOT)

Liu Xiangxiang and the others listened intently, seeing that Luo Qinghe had outlined a lotus line on the cloth in a few stitches, they were all astonished.

    "Everyone has different talents, but as long as he is willing to work hard, he can still do it above average," Luo Qinghe said.

    "Qinghe, we'll study hard." Liu Xiangxiang and the others promised.

    "But what Grandma said earlier was true. Embroidery is very eye eating. Even if you want to study it seriously, you can't do it overnight. Take time every day to do it. Otherwise, your eyes will be damaged, and you will be the one to suffer." Luo Qinghe was serious. Saying.

    “Understanding, I'm your sister-in-law, who has eaten a few years more than you, so I don't understand this.” Liu Xiangxiang lightly tapped on the tip of Luo Qinghe's nose and smiled.

    Luo Qinghe smiled and touched her head.

    “You guys stay at home, we will go to Shuitangzi.” Wang Guihua entered the room and said to Liu Xiangxiang and the others.

    "Grandma, I'm leaving. It is not easy to dig out the lotus root, so I will go with you," Luo Qinghe got up and said expectantly.

    “Well, wear more, wind rather cold at night.” Wang Guihua nodded in agreement, and gave some advice.

    Old man Luo and his entourage walked towards the pond at the end of the village, this was the first time Luo Qinghe had walked like this, and she looked left and right along the way.

    After walking a long way, I did not find a house, "Grandmother, is there no one behind?" "

    Well, this side is a bit far away, except for the one who goes up the mountain, there aren't many people here at ordinary times." Wang Guihua nodded and said.

    "Oh, our family lives very far, better this way, cleaner," Luo Qinghe said.

    "You little man still know how to be clean, you are the noisiest at this age," Wang Guihua said with a smile.

    "I'm not making trouble, I'm very obedient," Luo Qinghe replied mischievously.

    “Hahaha, yes, you are good, you are the best.” Wang Guihua echoed with a smile.

    After seeing the branches and dead leaves in the pond in the distance, Luo Qinghe smiled. It was a lotus pond. Despite such a scene now, spring has arrived, and soon the dead lotuses that have gone through winter will grow again breeding "sharp corners".

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

    Yeah, first touch the side of the pool. Lotus roots grow in the mud. You can find it when you go down, then dig along the lotus root with your hand, gently shake it to loosen the mud, then lift the entire root up." Luo Qinghe said her steps.

    In an era when the Internet was developed, even if he did not personally experience the extracting of lotus roots, the, luo Qinghe did not dare to say that he was a person who knew everything, but he could be considered a pretentious in ancient times.

    Luo Changgen and Luo Dagen started taking off their clothes, they were bare-chested, and the rest of their pants went down into the pool. The pool is not too deep. When they came down, the water almost reached their knees.

    The two walked according to what Luo Qinghe had said, but Luo Dagen stopped first.

    "There's something in the mud, it's hard, maybe the lotus root that Qing He mentioned." Luo Dagen was extremely excited, bending over and digging with his hands, "It's so long, I can't even dig it down." "I

    grab it's gone." Luo Dagen slowly swayed from side to side, the mud loosened, and the resistance became smaller, and with a pull, the, Luo Dagen grabbed the long, tied-up brown earth lotus root covered in mud and appeared.

    it's a lotus root." or three meters in length.

    After Luo Dagen dug it up, he was full of energy, put the lotus root on the side of the pond, and continued digging.

    Luo Changgen also dug it up, grinning happily, "This one must have weighed seven or eight catties."

    Hearing this, Wang Guihua ignored the mud and directly took the lotus root that Luo Dagen had just placed on it, "Haha, don't worry!" Say, it's so heavy, oh, look at this satisfying look.

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

    Old man Luo, Liu Lan, and Tian Cuizhu took the back basket and placed the lotus root inside, half of it open outside.The back basket can only accommodate four or five roots.

    “Dad, my brother-in-law and I will bring him back first, then return to retrieve it,” Tian Cuizhu said as he carried the lotus root.

    "okay."

    "Qinghe, you come back with me and teach Xiaohe and the others to wash the lotus root together. I will make milk for you to taste first at night," Wang Guihua said with a smile.

    "Good husband." Luo Qinghe nodded and agreed, "Grandfather, granny, don't dig too much. You can dig it up tomorrow after selling it. This lotus root does not break easily in the mud." "Hey, great. " Wang Guihua nodded in agreement, and said

    cheerfully, "Wait, this has to be cleaned. Don't let the villagers see it strangely. It must belong to our family."

    Luo Qinghe sneered, then followed the steps of Tian Cuizhu and Liu Lan.

    “I did not expect there would be such a thing under this pond, lotus root, so called.” Tian Cuizhu said with a smile, “This one is old and heavy. Now so many roots have been dug up, but father and

    your uncle They haven't dug up many places, how many catties they dug.” they didn't buy it..” On the way to the fields The green bamboos are always nagging, sometimes happy sometimes worried.

    Luo Qinghe closed her mouth and giggled, Liu Lan shook her head and laughed, her siblings have not calmed down, although she has a lot of thoughts in her heart, at least she can hold it in and not say it.

    Luo Yougen, Luo Jiadi, and Luo Jiashu were at home, they filled water tanks, wooden basins and barrels, and waited for family members to dig up the lotus roots and return to clean them.

    The river is always outside. Although it was now dark, not many villagers were washing their belongings, and they would not wash on their own doorstep. They are all here to bring water. After all, the higher you go, the clearer the river water is Household water is all carried upstream.

    When Liu Lan and Tian Cuizhu returned with baskets on their backs, Luo Jiashu was the first to greet them.

    “Mother, Second Aunt, did you dig lotus root?” Luo Jiashu took the basket off Tian Cuizhu's shoulder and asked with a smile.

    Luo Jia took it from her mother's back, and cursed with a smile, "You really need to change your restless nature, you're already very old, and you'll show yourself at the sight of food. The boss isn't young, so don't argue. Save your face."

    "Uncle, look Big Brother, every time he lectures me, I don't do anything, it doesn't seem like he's curious." Luo Jiashu looked at Luo Yougen and complained.

    “So curious and curious in his heart, but you are worse than Jiadi, and it looks on your face.” Luo Yougen joked with a smile, “It's worth it mom is worried you won't be able to marry a wife.” “Uncle, you have changed,

    you It has changed me.” Luo Jiashu looked “ very surprised”, and covered her chest with one hand excessively.
