A peasant girl

Chapter 22

Just as An Hao finished speaking, Mrs. Su also came over.

"Second Brother, Da Ya is right. Now we also have food and money, and I can live on with some embroidery."

Seeing that they were determined not to, An Dajiang no longer insisted.

When he was leaving, An Hao asked An Hao if he had anything he wanted to buy. After thinking about it, An Hao said something he wanted to buy, and then gave An Hao two taels of silver from the Su family.

Tomorrow she plans to go up the mountain, as for going to Yuehan City later, that's okay.

"Then, you guys rest first. If you need anything, you must tell me."

After An Dajiang finished speaking, he walked out of the yard.Not long after he left, Anhao lit two fires on the ground.It was still cold at this time, but it was much warmer next to the fire.

After raising the fire, An Hao looked at the cold and hard steamed buns in the bag, picked up the woodcutter from An's house, found a stick and began to chop it.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

Su Yuniang took An Sanya to sweep the ground around the house, while An Erya cleaned the windows outside, looking at what her elder sister was doing at this time, she couldn't help being a little curious.

"This, of course, is a secret. Mother, you and Sanya are fine at home. I'll take Erya out to find something to eat."

An Erya heard that Anhao was going to take her with her, so she quickly dropped the rag in her hand and ran over.

"Sister, what do you need me to do, just tell me, I'm sure I can do it well."

Since the separation, An Erya's mood has been particularly good.At this moment, I have already forgotten the fear just now.

"Big ya, it's getting dark here. Where are you going to take Erya to find something to eat. We're fine, but I don't feel at ease when you go out like this."

Su stopped what she was doing, looked at the sky that was about to get dark, and said worriedly.

"Nothing, we'll be back soon."

After speaking, Anhao took An Erya and ran out with a stick and a wooden barrel.

In my memory, there are lotus flowers blooming here in Wuyou. I think there should be lotus roots. There are fish in the lake, which is naturally the best.

"Erya, have you ever eaten lotus root? There are fish in Wuyou Lake, do you think the fish is delicious?" An Hao originally wanted to ask why the family didn't eat much of the fish in the lake.But after thinking about it, I still feel like saying hello.

Hearing An Hao ask herself, An Erya thought for a while before saying: "Elder Sister, what is lotus root? We haven't eaten this before. How do you think of this? Have you ever eaten it? There are fish, but fish bones There are too many of them, and they are always unpalatable, and they are only made during the Chinese New Year. And, every time they don’t eat them, they throw them to us.”

An Hao thought about it and drew a pattern on the ground.

"Erya, this is lotus root, white and fat, have you seen it?"

After Anhao asked, An Erya looked at it and shook her head, obviously she hadn't seen it, let alone ate it.

After getting the answer, Anhao couldn't help being a little excited.

Pulling up An Erya, he quickly ran towards Wuyou Lake.

It didn't take long to come to Wuyou Lake. Wuyou Lake is located in the middle of the village. It covers a vast area, the middle is the deepest, and the edge is clearer and shallower.

There were a lot of reeds growing around, and the wind made a rustling sound, and both of them couldn't help tightening their clothes.

Looking at the terrain, An Hao took off her shoes, walked over with her trousers on and holding a wooden stick.

"Sister, how can you show your feet? It's so cold today, what are you doing in the water?"

"I can still wear shoes when I go into the water. I'm picking lotus roots, so keep your voice down." Anhao really didn't expect this. Fortunately, it was getting dark and there were no people around Wuyou Lake.

An Erya was a little speechless, but looking at the deep lake, she didn't dare to go on like this, so she had to watch from the side.

The line of sight fell on the lotus bush not far away. It hadn't bloomed yet, and only small leaves grew.But the dense appearance, it is not difficult to see that there are many lotus roots below.Thinking, An Hao walked over step by step with a wooden stick.

After setting up the wooden stick, Anhao rolled up his sleeves again.

Now An Erya was completely stunned, why did the eldest sister dare to do anything.

"Sister, what are you touching?"

"Hush, keep your voice down, don't you see me touching the lotus root?"

As soon as An Hao finished speaking, she pulled out a slender lotus root from the water.The mud here is soft, and Anhao pulled it out without much effort.

After washing it twice in the water, he threw it to An Erya.

"Elder Sister, is this the lotus root? It looks so strange, how come it's segment by segment?"

"How do I know why it looks like this? I'll pull one and you clean the other, and I'll make it for you when I get back. This thing is delicious and beautiful. If Yuehan City doesn't have it, this Things can still be sold for money..."

Eldest sister knows a lot.

An Erya was all excited when she heard the money was sold, and didn't ask any questions, so she hurriedly took it aside and started cleaning it.While washing, I put it in the back basket, and the long ones were simply cut into two sections and put into the back basket.

Seeing that the basket was full, An Erya talked to Anhao, spread the grass on her back and ran into the house.

Anhao looked at An Erya who was full of motivation, and couldn't help but smile.

After standing for a while and stretching her waist, she continued to touch the lotus root.

Wuyou Lake is so big, and there are so many lotus roots, Anhao and An Erya made a few baskets in a short while.

Seeing An Erya who was panting and the sky getting dark, An Hao said nothing.

After walking out of the lake, Anhao came to a place with clear water, took her wooden stick and took the right moment to strike at the fish in the lake.After trying several times, I finally caught the fish.

It seems that I still have to practice hard with my body.

"Elder Sister has a stick, but how do I eat this fish? This is enough, I have already strung ten fish on the vine."

Anhao then stopped, looked at it, and found that it was indeed a bit too much.

"Come on, let's go home."

Anhao carried one side of the basket on her back, and An Erya was in charge of carrying the fish.

The sky had already changed at this moment, and the more it looked, the more it looked like it was going to rain.

Right now the yard they live in is full of leaves and fallen branches, but there is no shortage of firewood.

When they went back, Mrs. Su had already set up a pot with An Sanya, and the steamed buns had already been steamed in the pot.

"Mom, we're back..."

As soon as An Erya finished speaking, Su Shi exclaimed.

"Big ya, why are you covered in water? There is still food at home and you can get by for the time being. You are trying to make your mother worry to death. It's such a cold day and you still don't change your clothes."

Anhao hurried into the house to find some clothes to change. She didn't feel cold before, but when the wind blew after getting out of the water, it became extremely cold.

After changing her clothes, An Hao walked out, and before she could say anything, Su Shi handed her a bowl of ginger soup.

"Drink it soon, and see what you do when you get typhoid fever."

"Mom, you are so kind."

Anhao drank the ginger soup in one gulp. Although the ginger soup was not tasty, she felt sweet in her heart.

"Mother, this is the lotus root. The eldest sister pulled it up from Wuyou Lake. It looks very interesting. The eldest sister said that this is delicious. It can not only beautify but also sell for money..."
