The daughter was ruthlessly driven out of the wealthy family and went to the countryside

After calming down, Shen Xue Ning thought, the lotus leaves and lotus flowers are growing so well, but what about the lotus roots?

Shen Xuening reached out and grabbed two lotus leaf stems, trying to pull the lotus root up.

Lotus root definitely cannot be pulled up like this. She had never dug lotus root before and didn't know how to dig it, but she thought she could pull it up like this.

But surprisingly, she really started to pull it up.

She was lucky because the lotus root she pulled had just been grown and was right on the mud surface.

"Wow!" Shen Wenxu cheered, "It's so big!"

The lotus root in Shen Xue Ning's hand was as thick as a calf, and looked white and tender, so pleasing to the eye.

Shen Xue Ning couldn't help but widen her eyes. According to common sense, lotus roots would never grow this big, but now after being stimulated, they have grown so thick.

Shen Wenxu ran over and hugged the big lotus root with both hands: "Sister, the lotus root is so big."

"We can't let anyone see it, otherwise they will come and steal our lotus roots." Shen Xue Ning held the lotus roots in one hand and pulled Shen Wenxu home with the other.

"Mom, look what this is?" Shen Xue Ning handed the big fat lotus root to Liu Juan.

The big fat lotus root has four sections, each of which is almost the same size. They look tender and crispy, and it seems that they can be eaten as they are.

When Liu Juan saw the lotus root, she was stunned: "This lotus root is too big, where did it come from?"

"I dug it from our lotus pond." Shen Xue Ning said, "I pulled it up with two lotus leaves, and then brought it back."

"Pulled up?" Liu Juan looked at Shen Xuening, who was clean and didn't look like she had been in the pond.

Shen Xue Ning lowered her head slightly, feeling a little guilty: "Maybe I was lucky and pulled the lotus root on the mud surface."

"You're lucky." Liu Juan said with a smile, "Mom cooked this lotus root for you at noon so you can try it. We haven't started eating lotus roots this year."

Shen Xue Ning suggested: "Mom, let's go dig lotus roots this afternoon and sell them tomorrow."

It is not the season to pick lotus roots now. We have to wait until August at least. Liu Juan hesitated and said, "Not all lotus roots grow this big."

Shen Xue Ning insisted: "Go and try it."

"Then we'll go dig lotus roots after dinner." Liu Juan still had concerns, "But now is not the season for eating lotus roots. If we sell them now, will people be suspicious?"

Shen Xue Ning said: "If you have any doubts, just say that this is fruit lotus root, a new variety, and early maturing."

Liu Juan still chose to listen to Shen Xue Ning: "Let's see the situation first. If the lotus roots are all this big, then we will dig them up and sell them."

Shen Xue Ning nodded: "Oh, mom, I'll go pick some lotus flowers and bring them back. You can fry them and try them later. If they taste good, we can sell fried lotus flowers."

Liu Juan's brain is not as flexible as Shen Xue Ning's; "Is this okay?"

Shen Xue Ning held Liu Juan's shoulders with both hands and said seriously: "As long as it tastes good, there's nothing wrong with it. If you want to make money, just listen to me."

Liu Juan looked at her beautiful and confident daughter and nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

After that, Liu Juan continued to cook, and Shen Xuening went to the lotus pond with the basket.

Shen Wenxu jumped and ran after him. Shen Bo, who played with Shen Wenxu yesterday, also followed him: "Where are you guys going?"

Shen Wenxu said: "Let's go pick lotus flowers."

At the age of seven or eight, Shen Bo loved to play. He immediately said, "I want to pick lotus flowers, too."

Shen Xue Ning asked: "Do your grandparents know that you went to play with us?"

Shen Bo replied: "I know, grandma watched me leave."

Shen Xue Ning persuaded him: "That's fine. You must tell the elders when you go out. Got it?"

Shen Bo replied crisply: "I know."

Arriving at the lotus pond, Shen Xue Ning picked more than a dozen lotus flowers along the pond. She couldn't pick all the ones inside, so she would find a way later.

While picking lotus flowers, Shen Xue Ning saw some lotus pods and picked a few of them.

Come back fully loaded.

Liu Juan fried the lotus flowers like she did crispy pork. Shen Xuening didn't need to say much, as Liu Juan's cooking skills were impeccable.

Shen Xuening took the lotus pod to the washing table and peeled out the lotus seeds one by one.

At this time Shen Yingying came back. The little girl looked very happy and it seemed that the food was baked well.

Shen Xuening looked at her: "Yingying, how is it?"

Shen Yingying happily rushed over and hugged Shen Xuening, saying excitedly: "Sister, I was admitted to a key middle school."

Shen Xuening patted Shen Yingying on the back: "Good job."

When Liu Juan heard what they said, she ran out of the kitchen excitedly: "Did he really get into a key middle school?"

Shen Yingying nodded heavily: "Yes."

"That's great, that's great." Liu Juan was very excited. "Mom will cook two eggs for you later to replenish your body." Although she was very happy, there was a hint of sadness in her happiness.

Shen Xue Ning asked: "Did you go to middle school in the county town?"

Shen Yingying was very excited: "Yes, it's in Maoling County No. 1 Middle School. Sister, I didn't expect that I really passed the exam. I'm so happy."

Shen Xue Ning didn't expect that her new sister was also a top student: "She usually has good grades, so she will naturally do well in the exam."

Shen Yingying was completely immersed in the joy of being admitted to a key middle school: "I will work harder in the future to bring honor to my parents and become the pride of my elder sister."

Shen Xue Ning smiled and said, "Now I have become proud."

At 11:45, Shen Dong came back from outside carrying a hoe and said, "You all look so happy. What happened?"

Liu Juan came out of the kitchen carrying dishes and said happily, "Yingying was admitted to a key middle school."

"Really?" Shen Dong was stunned, then delighted and extremely happy.

"This can't be fake." Liu Juan put the dishes on the table, "Go wash your hands quickly, it's time to eat."

"Okay." Shen Dong put down the hoe, scooped a basin of water to wash his hands. After washing, he went to the main room to prepare for dinner.

Shen Xuening, Shen Yingying, and Shen Wenxu have also come to the main room.

Liu Juan brought out the wooden barrel rice: "Everyone, please sit down, it's time to eat."

Everyone sat down around the table.

Shen Dong saw the lotus root on the table and asked in surprise: "Where did the lotus root come from? It's not the season for eating lotus root now."

Liu Juan held up a bowl and served everyone some rice: "Ningning picked it up from the lotus pond."

Shen Dong was even more surprised: "Picked it up?"

When they went there to play before, Shen Xue Ning said, "I grabbed the lotus leaf and pulled it, and pulled a lotus root out of the lotus pond."

Shen Dong said: "Then you are lucky, you caught a lotus root growing on the mud surface."

Liu Juan served everyone's meals and finally sat on a stool: "Ningning said that we should go dig lotus roots and sell them. I think we can give it a try."

Shen Dong waved his hand: "Ningning lives in the city and doesn't understand these things. You don't understand them either. The lotus roots are not big enough at this time. We have to wait at least another month before we can dig them."

Liu Juan said: "The lotus root that Ningning brought back is as thick as a calf. The lotus roots growing on the surface are this big, and the lotus roots in the mud must be even bigger."
