Having tasted the sweetness of making money, Meng Daqiang was very excited. When no one was paying attention to him, he threw the lotus root tips into the pond. He was afraid of rain, so he didn't even have time to go to the town to hang out.
While he was bored at home, he ran to the captain to approve the foundation.
"Build a house? Your family is planning to split up? Does your mother agree?" The captain was full of surprise, remembering that Xiaoqi wanted to split up the family some time ago, and this time Daqiang came, the father and daughter.
"Let's settle it first. The children at home are all grown up, and we will have to separate sooner or later."
Meng Daqiang said nonchalantly, "Brother, I want the foundation near the pond next to my house. Is that okay?"
"How big do you want it to be? Big and strong!"
The captain pulled out a stool and sat down. "Although I don't know whether your family will split up, the land is divided according to the population. The building area and the planting area are different."
Meng Daqiang, who was always the most impatient to listen to these things, pulled out a stool and sat down, listening carefully.
"We haven't started dividing the land yet. The land near your home also belongs to your family. If your parents agree, there's nothing wrong with that."
"I feel relieved with what my brother said."
Coming out of the captain's house, Meng Daqiang's face was full of joy.
The sky was dark for a long time but no rain came. Meng Daqiang breathed a sigh of relief, carried a pound of sugar to the house of the village bricklayer, and asked him to help with the foundation.
Looking at the foundation, Old Man Meng followed with his hands behind his back. The father and son were by the pond, making a lot of noise, and everyone in the Meng family noticed it.
When he heard his youngest son say that the location of the foundation had been determined, he leaned in closer and lowered his voice.
"Daqiang, do you count me as your father when building the house?"
Meng Daqiang looked at him suspiciously. Didn't he say that if they agreed to split up, he would be responsible for their retirement?
Old Man Meng was a little embarrassed. "Dad means that we can build a room next door to yours. Your mother and I have some money."
Meng Daqiang was surprised and asked, "Your meaning or my mother's?"
"Then I'll help you build another foundation." Meng Daqiang didn't care.
Seeing that his youngest son agreed, Old Man Meng became more excited and listened carefully to the mason checking the foundation.
"Remember to give me the split pond." Meng Daqiang did not forget to ask for favors, "But, if you want to split the family, you have to deal with me, otherwise it will be useless to say anything."
Of course, he was determined to build a house, no matter how hard he tried, and he would build a two-story house like those in the city.
Meng Daqiang was keen on building houses, and Meng Qidi was a little curious about how much he sold his lotus roots for.
Of course, Meng Daqiang made a fortune from the lotus roots in that pond, but she didn't care about it, as it was just an unintentional gain.
It would be fine if Meng Daqiang could separate because of this matter. She really couldn't stand such a big family gathered together and not having enough food or warm sleep...
Two days later, Meng Qidi went to Meng's house to see if the lotus root was alive.
When Ling Cheng learned that the Fairy Sister was coming, he excitedly prepared to wait at the village entrance.
Wang Po fumbled around the stove, "It's not like I can't find my home. What's there to catch? What if it falls into the water?"
She still felt a little upset after being scolded by Meng Yuzhen last time.
These words made both the uncle and nephew look over in surprise.
The little girl looked dissatisfied, "Grandma, Fairy Sister hasn't been here for a long time, and she came to see our pond. Sister said that when the lotus pond blooms next year, we will have lotus roots to eat, and we can also raise fish."
The little girl's face is full of pride when she talks about Meng Qidi.
My younger uncle said that my sister will be my aunt in the future and they will be a family. Her aunt is a fairy who can turn into a jujube tree and grow lotus roots. She is so amazing.
After all, she was the granddaughter whom she had loved since she was a child. Wang Po was reluctant to scold her. She also knew that she was a little extreme, so she said helplessly.
"Okay, okay, your fairy sister is amazing, go pick them up right away."
The little girl ran out excitedly.
Ling Xiao looked at the old lady, "Mom... don't you want Xiaoqi to come?"
He always felt that there was something wrong with his mother's attitude these days.
The old lady felt a little uncomfortable. "No, I'm just worried about Xiao Chengzi. You go and watch the door. I feel a little dizzy. I'm going to lie down in the house for a while."
The old lady groped her way into the house. Ling Xiao frowned slightly and limped out.
Ling Cheng met Meng Qidi at the single-plank bridge, and the two of them walked over carefully.
Seeing Ling Xiao at the gate, Meng Qidi handed over the things in her hand, "This bridge is too dangerous, don't let Xiao Chengzi cross it alone."
"Okay, keep an eye on her next time." Ling Xiao nodded slightly and took the things. He hadn't seen Meng Qidi for a few days, and she seemed to have become a lot whiter.
Glancing at the basket in his hand, he said helplessly, "Since you're here, why bring anything with you?"
"It's for you guys to replenish. I just happened to find it at the reservoir. You can take care of it yourself. Xiao Chengzi and I are going to the pond."
Little Chengzi finally heard that they were going to the water, and she danced with excitement. Her uncle has been very mean recently and would not allow her to go to the water alone.
Holding Xiao Chengzi's hand, Meng Qidi walked to the water's edge. Fearing that she would run around and fall into the water, she did not dare to let go and glanced at the pond.
His pupils shrank slightly. He hadn't been here for a few days. The water here was much clearer than before. He could vaguely see some tentacles of the lotus roots floating on the water.
Alive.
Meng Qidi affirmed. It seems that the effect of Yuquan water is very strong. The plants can survive like this. You know, Meng Daqiang drained the water before he dared to plant them.
However, it is not a good idea to just float like this. The lotus root tip must grab onto the mud to take root.
After sending Ling Cheng to Ling Xiao, Meng Qidi went to look for water nearby. Although she was reluctant to throw away the water, there was no use having too much water.
Downstream, Meng Qidi was happy. There was actually an abandoned pond underneath. Compared with the pond above, the one below was dry and parched.
After hesitating for a while, he squatted down and used a stick at hand to poke a few holes on the shore, and several streams of water poured down.
