farm life

Hearing they said they were going up the mountain, Li Pengwei, who had been silent during meals, suddenly said, "Are you going up the mountain to play?"

"Hmm? Hmm." Lin Jiang nodded vaguely with food in his mouth.

"Today the lotus pond outside the village needs to pick lotus root, do you want to go and have a look?"

Lin Jiangsui swallowed the food in his mouth, and asked in surprise, "Is there a lotus pond outside the village? Why haven't I seen it?"

Song Jinhua continued: "Yes, that lotus pond was dug just two years ago. It's not surprising if you don't know it. It's next to the river embankment. But it's not the road to the town. You have to walk in the opposite direction for a mile. Road, just turn around the water bay. The village chief’s family contracted it, and I heard that the annual income is very good. Isn’t this because the lotus roots are ripe? The village chief’s family invited helpers to dig the lotus roots, and your cousin is going too. "

"Dig the lotus root, I haven't seen it yet." Lin Jiang turned his head to look at Emperor Ming, and happily agreed when he saw him nodding: "Then let's go and have a look, maybe we can help."

"Just watch from the sidelines. The job is tiring and dirty, and it's not something you can bear." Song Jinhua shook her head disapprovingly.

Lin Jiang was poured cold water on his original high spirits, so he could only say helplessly: "Got it."

After breakfast, Lin Jiangsui gave Song Jinhua a few chickens at home together with Papa, and asked her to take care of them, and then went out with Emperor Ming and Li Pengwei.

Li Pengwei walked in front and led the way, while Lin Jiang walked side by side with Emperor Ming, chatting a few words from time to time.Along the way, I could always hear farmers chatting together on the side of the road talking about the strange things that happened in the morning, which reminded Lin Jiang to ask clearly.

【You still haven't told me what's going on? 】

[It’s just a few little bastards who came to make trouble. It’s the vegetable vendor who troubled you last time. He was provoked and found out your identity, so he came to find trouble. ] Underworld Emperor said it lightly, as if it was no big deal.

But also, nothing was ever a "big deal" to him.

Lin Jiangsui's heart trembled when he heard it: [How did they find it?Wouldn't that cause trouble for my uncle and the others? 】He is not worried about himself, not to mention the presence of the Underworld Emperor, even though he has no offensive power, but self-protection is no problem, he is only worried about implicating others because of himself.

[Then what do you want to do?solved them? 】

Lin Jiangsui shook his head hastily, how could he not understand what Emperor Underworld's so-called solution is: [No, no, what did you do last night? ]【But it’s fun to play tricks and scare them. ] Underworld Emperor seems to be a bit addicted to playing, he tried a lot of interesting plots last night.

[Then go and scare that Xu Hu, lest he make trouble every day. ] Underworld Emperor looked at him jokingly: 【Didn't you say you can solve it by yourself?Why did you let me come again? 】【I have thought of a way. 】【any solution? 】【You go pretend to be a ghost to scare them. 】Lin Jiangsui spoke with confidence.

"Pfft." Underworld Emperor choked out a laugh, causing Li Pengwei, who was walking in front, to look back at him suspiciously.

Smiling and waving to Li Pengwei, indicating that he was fine, Underworld Emperor lowered his head and said softly to Lin Jiangsui: "You can really tell."

Lin Jiang didn't care whether he laughed at himself or not, he just imitated him and asked in a low voice: "Then will you do it or not?"

"Do it, you can do whatever you want." Underworld Emperor felt that Lin Jiangsui's temper had skyrocketed recently, but he just had nothing to do with him.

"Remember not to hurt people, well, do you think the real version of "Midnight Ring" will scare people to death?" Lin Jiang has never seen any horror and supernatural movies. He has never been interested in these things, but he has heard of this The name of a movie that was once banned.

"Take control and it won't work." Underworld Emperor nodded.

"Then follow that. By the way, how did they find me?" Lin Jiangsui was puzzled. He asked himself that he didn't leave any tails behind. How could it be so easy for someone to come to his hometown?

"It's not a good thing that your sperm provider did. We didn't give up after following up last time. This time, we came again. In order to find fault with us, we hooked up with Xu Hu and set the blame by the way, but it's still a mistake. By mistake, we have found the right owner.”

Lin Jiang listened in a daze and didn't understand everything, but he also knew that his cheap dad probably sent someone to find trouble, and he was angry and annoyed. He planned to forget about this person at first, who knew he was still dead He kept pestering him, and this time caused him so much trouble. If he hadn't been different now, with the Underworld Emperor by his side, he would have to peel off his skin even if he didn't die.

In fact, Lin Jiangsui wronged Lin Youwei. He didn't know about it. It was all Lu Yiming's own opinion. However, Lin Youwei also told Lu Yiming that he should let him do it without any scruples, so this matter has nothing to do with him.

"Let's just solve them together, so as not to cause trouble." Now Lin Jiangsui no longer regards Lin Youwei as his father. Since he has elders like Li Pengwei and his wife, he has already changed the object of seeking family affection.

"Then let's scare them together." Underworld Emperor stretched out his hand to stroke his head and said with a smile.

Lin Jiang squinted his eyes comfortably: "Yes."

Li Pengwei, who had been paying attention to their interaction, saw this scene, and was sincerely happy that Lin Jiangsui had such a good friend.

When he came to the lotus pond, Lin Jiangsui thought that he could see a beautiful picture scroll of "the lotus leaves are boundless in the sky, and the lotus flowers are red in the sun", but he only saw a pond with dirty water and the water near the shore. There are large lotus leaves in a semi-withered state, and a few lotus flowers scattered among the lotus leaves.

The faint fragrance of lotus leaves drifts with the wind, but it can’t cover the rotten smell from the mud. In the huge lotus pond, several lotus pickers are immersed in the mud-colored pool water, digging up the lotus roots in the mud. , only the head above the water.

Because of the hot weather, no one was wearing plastic aprons and rain boots. Instead, they worked barefoot and bare-chested in the sun that was not too hot in the early morning.There were muddy lotus roots floating on the muddy water, and a lotus picker stood by and scrubbed them clean with the pool water.

There are still many people standing on the lotus pond, including men, women and children. Most of them are probably here to watch the fun. A few children have walked around the lotus pond for several times, and some of them are shyly hiding among the lotus leaves. The lotus flowers are even more screaming for the occasional lotus pods.

"Peng Wei, you are here!" Someone among the crowd by the lotus pond waved to them.

"Well, this is my nephew and his friend. I know we are picking lotus root today, so I want to come and have a look." Li Pengwei said to the man, then turned to Lin Jiang and followed them: "This is the contractor of the lotus pond, you call him That's it, Uncle Yang."

"Hello, Uncle Yang." Lin Jiang called out obediently, and looked at the other party carefully. This Uncle Yang looked a few years younger than Li Pengwei, and his body was a little fat. Because of the hot weather, he shaved his head and looked fat. Big ears, but the smile on his face is very hearty, which makes people feel a little more favorable.

Underworld Emperor also nodded, as a greeting.

"This is the son of Uncle Lin Fu's family, right? I haven't seen you for so many years. You are an adult. I heard that you have taken the college entrance examination. How are you doing? Are you confident that you will be admitted to a good university?" Uncle Yang asked somewhat familiarly, his tone not It makes people feel annoying, but has a kind of intimacy.

"En." Facing a stranger, Lin Jiangsui didn't know what to say, so he just answered and stopped talking.

Uncle Yang didn't make things difficult for him, and turned his head to look at Emperor Ming: "This little brother is really handsome, is he your classmate?"

"No, it's my teacher."

"Yo, I can't see it, my little brother is very capable." No one in this Linjiacun doesn't know about Lin Jiangsui's family affairs, so they naturally know which school he is studying in. Qiao Yu Comprehensive School is one of the best schools in C City. Those who teach there can't do it in every ability.

"It's just a substitute teacher." It was rare for Underworld Emperor to be humble.

At this moment, Li Pengwei interrupted. He looked at the busy people in the lotus pond, and asked, "Yang Bo, how is the lotus picking in this pond? Shall I call some more people?"

"That's okay, the one who bought the fish delayed for several days to get the fish away, which took me a lot of time. The lotus root buyers here have sent people to urge them. If it continues, I will lose a lot of money. You Invite a few more people, the old rules, one person a day one hundred, including two meals. Try to dig all of them within two days."

"Well, I'll ask." Li Pengwei went to the side to make a phone call, and Uncle Yang was also busy, and asked Lin Jiang to look around by himself.

Lin Jiang walked side by side with Emperor Hades by the lotus pond, watching the lotus diggers in the lotus pond pull out the lotus leaves and petioles, groping underwater with both hands bent down, throwing pieces of mud out of the water from time to time, repeating several times. After several times, a large lotus root was dug out.

The dug out lotus root floats in the water.The lotus root is long and short, the longest can reach about 1.5 meters, and the short one is about 20 centimeters.The lotus root joints are also of different sizes, the one in the middle is always the largest, and the farther out, the smaller.

"These are the 'three generations of grandparents'. The largest is the main lotus root. The branch lotus root that is separated from it is called the child lotus root, and the shallots that grow from the child lotus root are called the grandson lotus root. The main lotus root is usually on the table. The child lotus root, the grandson lotus root After the lotus root is dug, it will be regarded as "lotus seed" and buried deep in the soil again, and there will be another lotus root harvest in the coming year." Seeing that he was very interested, Emperor Ming introduced him in a low voice.

Lin Jiangsui's eyes lit up: "Then let's dig a pond in the space and plant lotus roots, shall we? And the lotus blooms very beautifully, and the lotus leaves are also good things."

"Well, I'll buy some lotus root from them, and I'll take them home later." Because he promised Lin Jiang not to use spells casually, Underworld Emperor stopped moving things directly.

"Yeah." Lin Jiangsui wanted to go down and dig by himself, but looking at the muddy pool, did he frown and suppress this idea, or he will try it when there is a lotus pond in the space in the future.
