Chapter 387： Digging lotus roots

Pei Xiu watched everyone harvest the wheat for a while in the field, and she didn't go back until they put down their work and sat down to eat and rest.

She plans to send a few children over to help harvest for half a day early tomorrow morning, to experience the hard work of the farmers, and to recall the bitterness and sweetness.

It won't be very hot if you go early in the morning, and it will be hot at noon, and let them rest after eating.

The past two years have been better, and she is also afraid that they will get carried away, so she should beat them well.

Although the life in the past few years was hard, the three children had never really been in the field. Before, there were not many jobs in the field, and Zhou Cheng grabbed them all.

If Zhou Cheng hadn't been an official, they would have been one of those people, working hard for three meals.

The good days in front of them are hard-won, let them compare and cherish them later. This is also one of her goals in coming to Zhuangzi.

Walking back and forth under the scorching sun, it was useless to have a hat on her head. She was sweating a lot on her body, and her underclothes were clinging to her body, which made her very uncomfortable.

After finishing the work, she quickly walked to Zhuangzi.

As soon as she arrived at the door, she heard bursts of laughter and laughter from the corner. She didn't enter the house anymore, and went to the pond to see what the children were playing with? so happy.

My God, Xiao Jiu has become a clay figurine...

I saw that the water in the pond had been drained, revealing the quagmire underneath. All of them were holding their trousers and digging underneath.

He didn't care that his face, head, and clothes were covered in mud everywhere, and he was digging and laughing.

The color of Xiao Jiu's clothes can no longer be seen below her head, and the others are better. She guessed that she may have accidentally fallen into the quagmire.

At this moment, several long lotus festivals have been thrown on the bank.

"Ah, I found another very long one, there must be a lot of sections," said the third old man, pulling out, trying to show them the whole section.

But he didn't expect the lotus root festival to be broken by him. With too much force, he fell backwards and lay down in the quagmire.

"Hahaha..." The others laughed happily, not sympathizing with him at all.

Princess Xuexi smiled and leaned back and forth, shook his body, and quickly helped the pond wall with his hands, almost falling over.

She patted her chest in fright, forgetting for a while that her hands were dirty, but this one patted her with a few mud handprints on her chest.

Pei Xiu couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

When the boss bent over to dig, he was hit hard by the second child who just got up, and the whole person fell into the quagmire face down.

"what…"

Everyone else who saw it was baring their teeth. Isn't this about to eat a mouthful of mud?

She couldn't bear to look directly at the tragic state of her eldest son, and quickly asked Qingsong to fetch a basin of water to wipe his face.

It doesn't matter if there is mud on other parts of the body, that is, the facial features, if the face is covered with mud, it will be very uncomfortable.

After the third child knew that he was in trouble, he threw aside the lotus root that he had just pulled out and went to hide to the second child on the opposite side.

The boss endured the discomfort, got up from the quagmire, and roared: "Zhou Laosan, Zhou Heng!"

He was frightened and quickly explained, "Brother, I didn't do it on purpose, really, I just pulled out the lotus root with all my strength and I accidentally bumped into you."

Qingsong washed his face for him, and he felt refreshed. He stared at Zhou Laosan, who was hiding behind the second child, and was not angry.

"Come here and let me hit you, or you will voluntarily lie down and roll in a circle."

He craned his neck and said, "I don't want it, I really didn't mean it."

The second child struggled to free his clothes from his hands, but he was held tightly by him.

"Second brother, you can't see death without saving you, you can't hide."

"It's none of my business, let go, don't use me as a shield."

"No, second brother, you have to help me block."

While the two were pulling and pulling, the boss grabbed a handful of mud and threw it at the third child's face, hitting the red heart and splashing the second one's neck.

The third child touched his face, but the more he wiped it, the more dirty it became. Not to be outdone, he grabbed a handful of mud and threw it over, but was avoided by the guarded boss.

He grabbed another handful, but this time he missed it, hitting Princess Xuexi next to him.

Several people suddenly fell into a melee, and have forgotten what the original intention was.

Pei Xiu left out of sight. There were so many people watching, nothing would happen, let them have fun, who could not have an interesting childhood.

When they went in, they asked Cheng Bo to help burn a few more buckets of hot water.

She was sweating all over her body at the moment, her clothes were sticking to her back, and she had to wipe it off before taking a lunch break with Mai.

After a few children got tired from playing, they stopped to catch their breath. Seeing that everyone had become a clay figurine, they laughed again.

With the help of the little servant, they cleaned their faces, but their bodies were still terrible, and it didn't matter, they had to dig more.

Caiwei didn't even look at her, the county master of her family was actually a clay figurine as a golden branch and jade leaf. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess would never have imagined that their pearls in the palm of their hands would look like this now.

She frowned and admonished: "The county master, it's almost time, it's time for you to get up and wash."

"I haven't finished digging lotus roots yet, what's the hurry, anyway, there is no sun here, I'll play for a while." After that, he laughed and admired the appearance of others.

The boss looked at a small pile of lotus roots dug on the shore, "Haha, we can't play anymore, we should work, after digging the lotus roots in the pond, let's go ashore to take a bath, it will take at least half an hour to wash off this kind of mud. ."

"After digging, we can eat lotus root pork ribs soup in the evening. I saw my mother in the morning ordered the servants to buy ribs and bring them here." The second child has been thinking about it since the morning.

"Ah, then work and work, stop playing."

Several children began to actively dig lotus roots for the sake of one bite~. After playing for so long, they don't feel tired, and the children's energy is strong.

When Pei Xiu woke up from a nap, they were also crawling out of the pond.

She looked at the piles of lotus roots in surprise, and said, "There are quite a lot of lotus roots in this pond. You can use them to make soup at night."

"Mother, I will ask the guards to help fill the pond with water. Let's pick it again next year."

"If you haven't eaten this year's, you will be thinking about the next year. Just like your sister, you will be thinking about eating it. Go and wash it. They are all dirty like monkeys." Pei Xiu looked at him with disgust. A bunch of clay figurines in front of him.

The boss laughed, broke the jar, rubbed his face with his hands, only his eyes, nose, and mouth were exposed, and then he let go of his hair and wiped the two horns with mud.

Shamelessly twisted his body and said to everyone, "Am I handsome?"

"Hahaha……"

The servants also looked at him in disbelief.
