Chapter 201
Qian Dong stayed at Chen Chuanwang's house all afternoon. In fact, the two of them played games until after two o'clock in the afternoon. Then Qian Dong, who was driving all the way, was so sleepy that he fell asleep.

Around four o'clock, grandparents came home, and the sound of their return woke Qian Dong up.

The car blocked the way for his tricycle to enter the garage. Grandpa got out of the car and helped grandma down.

When he walked in, he saw Chen Chuanwang and asked, "Where did the car at the door come from?"

"Qian Dong's, he's sleeping."

"Oh, he's back, when did he come back?"

"This morning."

"How many days are you staying at home?"

"Four days."

Grandpa said a few words casually, and didn't ask any more questions.

Regarding the relationship between the young people, they couldn't say anything, so they said: "Let him stay for dinner, and I will cook it now."

Chen Chuanwang nodded.

At this time, Qian Dong also opened the door and came out.

"...Grandpa, grandma." Qian Dong greeted the two old people with some embarrassment, and then said to Chen Chuanwang, "I'm going back."

Grandpa shouted, "Don't, stay for supper."

Chen Chuanwang echoed: "Stay for dinner, if you are sleepy, go back and sleep for a while."

"Uh... well then, I'll call my mom."

Qian Dong took out his mobile phone and walked out the door.

The two young people were no longer children, and when they had dinner at a friend's house, the family members would naturally not be too restrictive. In addition, Chen Chuanwang and Qian Dong's family were familiar with each other, so there was almost no objection to staying for dinner.

When Qian Dong agreed, Chen Chuanwang looked at the sun outside and said, "It's cloudy now, and there's still wind, but it's not hot. Let's go shoot lotus pods. You just bring some back."

"Lotus pod? Good!"

Although there is a river in front of Qian Dong's house, there are really no lotus leaves and lotus flowers.

Chen Chuanwang took out a long bamboo pole from the backyard, found another wooden stick at random, and tied it obliquely to the front end of the bamboo pole with cloth strips.

"What is this for?"

"Hit the lotus pod!"

Qian Dong was puzzled, he said: "Break it with a bamboo pole, and then pick it up?"

"That's so troublesome, just use this..." Chen Chuanwang held the tail of the bamboo pole, stretched it forward, and then pulled it back: "That's it, just pull the lotus pod out of the mud."

Let Qian Dong take the serving basket, and the two of them set off with a dog.

Today's weather in July, lotus leaves almost occupy a quarter of Nanhu Lake, just look around and you can see lotus pods that have matured to black.

"You came back late. If the lotus pods are relatively tender at the beginning of the month, they will be the best at that time." Chen Chuanwang took Qian Dong along the path. .

Qian Dong sighed: "It's not like I can come back if I want to. If I'm too tired to work on the night shift this month, I won't use my annual leave."

"Ah."

Although Chen Chuanwang didn't have a job, he also understood Qian Dong very well. He said: "Sleep well in the dormitory, go out at night and go around, relax..."

Qian Dong nodded.

Having said that, to be honest, even if you have colleagues when you work in the factory, they are not considered friends. When you go out for a walk, you are probably alone. No one listens to your complaints, so you really can’t relax.

Chen Chuanwang took Qian Dong to the place where he usually washes clothes and dishes in the village. A long stone slab fell into the water, and moss had grown on the front end.

"Look, there is a lotus pod over there, come and try." Chen Chuanwang handed the bamboo pole to Qian Dong.

Qian Dong nodded, walked forward and imitated Chen Chuanwang's previous posture, and pulled the nearest lotus pod out of the water.

"It's a bit old, but it's edible." Chen Chuanwang glanced at it and said.

"I will try again."

Qian Dong pulled out four in a row, and then found that he couldn't use his strength. He said, "The others are too far away."

"Not only is it far away, but the angle at which it is tied has also become larger. Let's tie it again."

After making two more lotus pods, Qian Dong really couldn't hit them.

At this moment, Chen Chuanwang suddenly remembered that there seemed to be a boat hidden beside this place. Following his memory, he walked along the shore for a while, and saw the boat covered in a large area by fallen leaves beside the water candle bushes.

"Fortunately, it's made of cement. If it's made of wood, it should be rotten after so many years."

Chen Chuanwang pulled out the iron chain on the shore, jumped onto the boat, and swept some leaves down with his feet.

There was no bamboo pole to support, but there was a tree nearby. Chen Chuanwang pulled the branches again and again, and it took several minutes to move the boat out.

clap clap clap!
Qian Dong guessed that he was a little bit annoyed. When Chen Chuanwang rowed there, he saw him swinging the bamboo pole left and right, breaking all the lotus leaves that got in the way.

"Stop fighting, get on the boat!"

Chen Chuanwang shouted.

"Fuck, where did you get the boat?" Qian Dong was startled, and when the boat touched the shore, he jumped on it carefully: "With this boat, you don't need to bring the bamboo pole."

"who said it."

Chen Chuanwang took off the wooden stick in front of the bamboo pole, and then propped the boat with the bamboo pole: "Isn't this useful? I will punt the boat, and you will pick the lotus."

Chen Chuanwang used this boat when he was young. When he was playing in the water when he was young, his children would often go out on the boat and learn to swim in places where the water was deeper and there were no lotus leaves.

At that time, Chen Chuanwang was the only one who couldn't swim, but the children were also brave and skilled, and they swam in the water with Chen Chuanwang on their backs, without any fear.

During that time, Chen Chuanwang didn't learn how to swim, but he learned how to punting. It's not as good as his grandfather's older generation, but it's not bad.

Stand tall and see far.

Chen Chuanwang rowed towards the center of the lake along the lotus pod he saw.

Sitting on the boat, Qian Dong looked at the lotus flowers and leaves around him. From time to time, he could also see some egrets and waterfowl that were frightened away. When he got to a place where there were not many lotus leaves, the water surface was illuminated golden by the sun.

"it's beautiful."

Qian Dong felt that he was in a TV series, such a scene was so beautiful.

"That's something you haven't seen before." Chen Chuanwang put the bamboo pole aside, sat down, tore open a lotus pod, and ate a few: "Fortunately, there are boats, and the ones on the shore were beaten by others. There are still a lot of tender ones."

Qian Dong also ate it. He looked at the lotus pod under his feet: "If this is sold, it can probably be sold for 200 yuan."

"If you want to sell, then you can make more, anyway, no one wants these."

"I'm too lazy to go."

How could Chen Chuanwang not understand Qian Dong, he said with a smile: "It's just thin-skinned."

"Fuck off."

After laughing and cursing for a while, Chen Chuanwang stood up and touched the water: "Do you want to go into the water?"

"...I don't have any clothes to change, what kind of water is there?"

"What are you afraid of? There's no one here. Just take it off and go into the water. Just put it on after washing."

"I still have to drive... and after washing and putting on clothes, the clothes still have to be wet."

"Then I'll go into the water, you eat, and I'll catch you a fish."

Chen Chuanwang took off his clothes, put on a pair of underpants, and tied them down.

Whoa whoa whoa!
Chen Chuanwang broke through the water, shook his head, touched the water on his eyelids, turned his head and shouted to Qian Dong on the boat: "Really not going into the water? It's very cool."

"No."
