Meng Qidi didn’t have lunch at the Meng family. She dug two pieces of lotus roots and went straight to the town.

I sent something two days ago, and when I entered the post office this time, people already knew me, "Comrade Meng, what are you sending this time?"

"Here." Meng Qidi handed over the bag. "There are food and photos in it. Do they have to be sent separately?"

"It would definitely be best to mail them separately." The staff nodded, "But, these stamps..."

"It's okay, just follow the rules and separate." Meng Qidi said indifferently.

After sending the things, Meng Qidi paused, turned her head suspiciously and looked to the right, where a figure turned around in panic.

Meng Qidi rumbled for a moment and said why she always felt it was such a coincidence, could it be that she had been followed for a few days?

Meng Qidi lowered her eyes slightly, walked out, and turned directly into an alley...

Ge Mei was slightly stunned, and after hesitating for a while, she followed him...

The alley was pitch black, and Ge Mei didn't dare to go in. Just as she turned around, a hand stretched out from the alley with terrifying strength, and directly dragged her in...

Screams came from the alley...

"Ge Mei? What's wrong with you?" Zhao Youwei was about to take a walk around the field. The rice was being watered for the last time and was almost ready to be harvested.

Seeing Ge Mei staggering towards the intersection with wounds all over his face, he asked worriedly.

"I..." Ge Mei covered the corner of her mouth that was hurt by the beating, and cried, "Brother Youwei, last time I sold test papers, someone got jealous and beat me..."

Zhao Youwei was slightly stunned, and quickly supported her, "Did you see who beat him? Let's go to the health center first?"

Ge Mei shook her head slightly. She was sure it was Meng Qidi. She only saw her go in and followed her. Who knew she dared to hit her? You're so bad, Meng Qidi!

When she returns to the city, I will definitely not let her go!

In Beijing, after sitting in a car for several days, Old Man Zhao got off the car in a listless state. After all, he was old and could not bear the ride in a car.

"Grandpa, which room do you want to deliver these things to?" the driver and the escort got out of the car and asked.

Old man Zhao curled his lips and said, "Just throw it in the yard. It's just a few pieces of clothes."

Speaking of which, that little girl is forgetful. He forgot what he promised to give him, orchids and lotus flowers, and she actually forgot too. Sigh...

Sure enough, a forced melon is not sweet. I guess he left, and the girl set off firecrackers to celebrate...

Knowing the old man's temper, they didn't dare to say much and just moved the things in the trunk into the car.

Glancing at a box in the hands of several people, Old Man Zhao asked suspiciously, "Wait, what is this?"

He didn't remember bringing a suitcase. Wasn't it just a few pieces of clothes?

Several people stopped and asked, "Ah? This? Comrade Meng said it was yours."

Comrade Meng? Xiaoqi?

"Bring it in first and put it in the yard." The old man paced into the yard.

The yard had been cleaned long ago and even the beds had been made in the house. Before they could sit down to have a cup of tea, they were called away by the old man.

As soon as everyone left, the old man squatted down and opened the box directly. There was an oilcloth wrapped inside, and some moisture could be vaguely seen.

The old man opened it with a trembling hand, and then laughed and scolded softly, "Stinky girl..."

Without any outsiders to cause trouble, the days passed quickly. After the last rice harvest, Meng Qidi focused on reviewing. In the blink of an eye, it was November...

"Xiao Qi, are you awake? I've released the water." Meng Daqiang stood by the pond, his face full of joy.

After waiting for several months, I can finally dig lotus roots.

"Remember to save the lotus seeds." Meng Qidi reminded them. However, she had no intention of continuing to put Yuquan water into the lotus pond, including their own lotus pond, as it was too conspicuous.

Of course, if she graduates from college and comes back, she will plan to use Yuquan water to cultivate various seeds, and then she will have a shield.

"Remember, remember." Meng Daqiang bent down and opened the gate, and the water level of the lotus pond slowly dropped.

While waiting for the water to recede, Meng Daqiang climbed up. There were many villagers standing in the Meng family's yard, all watching Meng Daqiang digging lotus roots.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious. Meng Daqiang is really lucky. Not only did he manage to grow the lotus roots after digging them up, but he was also able to send them to the army. If this happened in ancient times, it would be military rations...

Looking at the envious eyes of the crowd, Meng Daqiang straightened his back and felt particularly proud.

Walking up to his daughter, he lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Qi, when will the people over there arrive? We have dug up the lotus roots, do we need to clean them?"

"It will arrive in two days. Do you think the lotus root can be washed? Will it last longer if the mud is washed off, or is it better not to wash it?" Meng Qidi asked. She didn't know much about this.

"Of course it's better to have mud in it. Put it in the shade and sprinkle some water on it. It can last longer. But isn't it too much trouble for us to transport it to Beijing?"

Meng Daqiang frowned. It took several days on the road. This lotus root...

"It's okay. We don't plant much, just one batch."

There probably aren't many lotus roots in the two lotus ponds combined. There are so many people in the army, and they probably won't be enough to eat for a few meals. She can grow special lotus roots for supply in the future. Now it's just a test.

The Meng family started digging lotus roots, and Meng Qidi rode her bicycle back home. In addition to digging lotus roots, she also planned to catch fish.

However, the journey to Beijing was too far, and although the weather was cold, the fish were probably not fresh anymore. Of course, she had another plan, which was to dig in one lotus pond after another, first digging the lower lotus pond and catching the fish in the lower lotus pond.

Then put the fish from the upper two fish ponds into the lower fish pond, and continue to dig lotus roots from the other two lotus ponds.

Keep the fish in the two fish ponds, and send the fish caught in the ponds to the town to sell.

Of course, it is easy to think about, but it is a little difficult to do, especially as the weather is getting colder.

Especially releasing the water. To be honest, Meng Qidi was really reluctant to give up the water, but it would be difficult to dig lotus roots and catch fish without releasing it.

Fortunately, it was sunny these days, so the water in the pond was released the night before, making it easy to dig lotus roots the next day. Of course, Meng Qidi did not plan to go into the water, but asked the team leader to help find someone to come over, and she would pay the wages.

Catching fish and digging lotus roots are done at the same time, and the Ling family's front yard is particularly lively.

"Xiao Qi, this lotus root is really big. This is the first time I have seen such a big lotus root."

Ling Hanfang stood on the shore and said with a smile, "A lotus root this big is enough to make people want to eat it raw just from one section."

Fortunately, things have been put right now, otherwise Ling Xiao's family would probably be reported for engaging in capital activities.

"It's not bad. I think it's because my teacher was here during those days. He likes to mess around on weekdays."

Meng Qidi gave the "credit" to the old man without changing her expression.

Ling Hanfang smiled and said, "Of course, the old man is really capable. The greenhouse vegetables you sent over a few days ago were really crisp and delicious."

"The old man has been dealing with soil all his life. If he knew you were so sure of his experiment, he would probably be very happy."

Meng Qidi smiled and said that the first batch of vegetables in Ling Laosi’s shabby house were not watered with well water, but they still tasted good.

"Xiao Qi, the car is here! Come on, get out now."
