Chapter 40 Good impression
  The children chirped, "No school!"

"It's holiday!"

"summer holiday!"

"Elementary schools and kindergartens are no longer open for school!"

Du Yunkai was a little puzzled. When he was a child, he had to attend tutoring classes even during winter and summer vacations. Except for weekends, he never had such a leisurely day, let alone picking lotus pods and getting himself covered in mud.

Xu Qingsong patted him on the shoulder: "Master, not all families will send their children to extracurricular classes."

Liu Wangxue also said: "Yes, I was like this when I was a child. I would run around and play during the holidays."

While chatting, Du Yunkai said regretfully: "Wouldn't my childhood have lost a lot of fun?"

"It can only be said that the experience is different." Xu Qingsong said, "You have not experienced what they have experienced, and they may not have experienced what you have experienced."

Just as he was talking, a man and a woman came over from the other side of the path, both wearing waterproof jumpsuits and carrying poles. The plastic baskets at both ends of the pole are filled with lotus roots. The mud has been washed away, and they look fresh and tender.

They asked the children in dialect: "Didn't I tell you to go home for dinner first? Why are you still here?" As they said this, they moved the plastic basket to the electric tricycle.

The children all stood up and chattered about cats and dogs.

Liu Wangxue and the other three also stood up and greeted each other. Xiaoci pulled on Liu Wangxue's trouser legs and wanted to hug her again. As soon as Liu Wangxue picked it up, it immediately ran to Liu Wangxue's shoulder and squatted down.

The other party also had a few baskets of lotus roots lying on the edge of the field, so after saying a few words, he went back to pick them up with a pole.

The woman told the children again: "Go home quickly, you are covered in mud. Go back and change your clothes and wash them. You should do your homework after dinner."

Before the children left, one of them gave Liu Wangxue and the others a lotus pod.

The little girl with braids also thoughtfully taught them how to peel it off: "Look, it comes out like this." She handed it to Liu Wangxue and said, "Sister, you eat it, it's delicious!"

She was so enthusiastic that Liu Wangxue didn't want to hurt her heart, but seeing the fat white lotus seeds stained with a little mud, she really couldn't reach out.

So she opened a lotus pod, took a lotus seed, and said while peeling it: "Thank you, but you can eat it yourself. I have learned how to do it, you see." She put the peeled lotus seed into her mouth. When he bit his teeth, he felt something sweet and cool: "Ah, it's really delicious!"

The little girl smiled happily and ate the lotus seeds in her hand. Her braid was swaying, which was very cute.

The children said goodbye and walked towards another shortcut to the village. After walking a few steps, the little one ran back and asked Liu Wangxue: "Sister, can I go play with you?"

Liu Wangxue wanted to tease him, so she bent down and asked, "Why?"

The little one raised his face and said, "I, I like it, Cat."

It was so cute. Liu Wangxue couldn't help it. She touched it, pointed to the front right and said, "Okay, my sister's home is right there. You can ask the adults at home to take you there to play."

The land chosen by Xu Qingsong and his great-grandfather is in the same village as the children according to the map, but it is some distance away from the village. From a distance, it looks like a house in the rice field, which is easy to recognize.

The little boy jumped up and down happily and said to Liu Wangxue: "Thank you, sister~Goodbye, sister~" and then trotted all the way to catch up with his little friend on his short legs.

The three of them continued walking back, and Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai also peeled the lotus seeds and started eating them.

Du Yunkai said while eating: "I have an idea."

Xu Qingsong asked: "About what?"

Du Yunkai shook the lotus pod in his hand.

Xu Qingsong asked: "Want to experience picking lotus pods?"    "And digging lotus roots." Du Yunkai was eager to try: "I'm here already, just to experience something I've never done before."

Xu Qingsong thought it was okay to have some fun in the lying-down life and experience the joy of labor. He turned to Liu Wangxue and asked, "What do you think?"

Liu Wangxue had never experienced digging lotus roots in a lotus pond, so she could pick more lotus pods. She also liked eating these fresh lotus seeds, so she readily agreed.

Du Yunkai looked around and said to Xu Qingsong: "I see there are quite a lot of lotus ponds here. Please help me contact them to see which ones can be rented out."

"No, you," Xu Qingsong's eyes showed rejection, "It's just an experience. What kind of big battle are you going to do?"

"Shouldn't we be paid for poaching other people's lotus roots?" Du Yunkai wondered.

Liu Wangxue looked at him with a smile and said, "I think maybe we just need to pay some lotus root money."

Xu Qingsong threw the peeled lotus pods into the paddy field and said, "You don't have to pay a penny. If you are willing to dig it, it will be too late for their family to be happy!"

How is it possible? Du Yunkai didn't believe it.

Liu Wangxue was curious: "Whose family?"

Xu Qingsong gave it a try: "Let me contact you first."

Back in the small courtyard, Liu Wangxue first poured breakfast for Xiaoci and Pangpeng, then added some water to the bowl beside them, and watched them finish eating before making breakfast.

Wenxi slept until breakfast was ready before getting up. Liu Wangxue left a lotus pod for her, and she sat at the table and peeled it to eat.

"This is really my first time eating fresh lotus seeds," Wenxi liked it at the first bite and said, "Why don't you check if there is a similar experience park nearby, and let's go and try picking them too? It’s best if you can also experience how to dig lotus roots.”

She really likes eating glutinous rice and lotus root, as well as lotus root and pork ribs soup. Just thinking about it makes her mouth water.

"Wow, you guys really have a good understanding of each other!" Liu Wangxue held his face in his hands and looked at her.

"Who?"

"You and Du Yunkai!" Liu Wangxue said with a smile, "That's what he suggested when he just came back."

Wenxi curled his lips.

"Hey," Liu Wangxue gradually showed a gossipy expression, "I think he seems to have a crush on you, what do you think?"

"I don't have any ideas." Wenxi said, "I see people like him more now. He has been lacking in everything since he was a child. No matter what he does, he has an attitude of playing with the world. When it comes to making girlfriends, he only pays attention to it. It’s fresh, breaking up is as simple as throwing away a piece of clothing.”

Wenxi handed a peeled lotus seed to Liu Wangxue and continued: "If you think about Mu Jingsheng, they are essentially the same kind of people. If I had known about the relationship between Mu Jingsheng and the Mu family, I would have tried my best to Breaking off the relationship will also do everything possible to prevent you from talking to him."

Liu Wangxue took it, thought about it and said with a smile: "I won't break up the relationship, but with my level of love brain at that time, I will definitely quarrel with you when we meet."

Wenxi was still angry when he thought of Mu Jingsheng, and angrily threw the peeled lotus pods into the trash can: "Ha, if I had that kind of family background, I would destroy him in a minute!"
