When she looked up, she saw her family members looking at her. Her face immediately turned red with shame and she pretended to fiddle with her niece's hair to fool them.

After braiding her three nieces' hair, she had nothing to do, but the three little girls refused to leave or go out to play and just stayed around her.

Thinking about the cooking skills I just learned in the dream, I also wanted to show them off. Looking at the lotus pond outside the courtyard, although it was the dry season, there were still lotus flowers and lotus leaves lingering in it.

The petals and leaves are somewhat drooping. I don't know if there are any lotus roots in this lotus pond. If I'm lucky, there might be lotus pods?

Seeing the young girls and wives from the brigade rowing boats, they seemed to be picking lotus pods, which were all good ingredients. She had learned several kinds in her dreams. Mi Youjiao jumped up and said to her nephews and nieces, "Let's go pick lotus leaves and lotus pods and dig lotus roots."

The little ones cheered and followed her, running outside. Several tall and long-legged men in the family grabbed all the little ones in their hands. Brother Mi frowned and said, "How are you going to get the lotus pods like this? We have a small boat at home. I'll push the boat down for you and you can sit on it."

I remember that my family did have a small boat. When the water in the lotus pond in front of my house was deep in summer, I could sit on it and play in the pond, catching fish and shrimps, and digging lotus roots. It was so much fun. At that time, my brothers took me there.

Thinking of the past, Mi Youjiao's eyes turned red again. He didn't know why his wife's eyes turned red again. Tang Zhenjun went up to comfort her, thinking that she should be the one feeling pain. "Okay, today is a happy day. Don't be like this. Everyone will feel bad with you."

Mi Youjiao's rabbit-like eyes were red as she looked at their blushing faces. Her eldest brother and his friends had already pushed out the small boat from home and were pushing it into the lotus pond. She happily followed along with her nephews and nieces, chatting and laughing as they chased after them.

There were already several people in the lotus pond. They were all from the same team. They were girls and wives who had not gone to work in the fields. Some of them had a good relationship with the Mi family and they all greeted them.

Mi Lingling is the daughter of the brigade accountant. She is two years younger than Mi Youjiao. She is not good at studying, but she is hardworking and helps with housework at home.

This was a straightforward girl with a round face, round eyes, and two long pigtails. She worked efficiently and was a clean person. She had disliked Lin Cuiliu and the other educated youths and had long ago persuaded Mi Youjiao that the two had bad intentions towards her.

However, Mi Youjiao never listened to her. She didn't have close contact with this girl before she was reborn. It was just that in her memory, this girl had helped her when she was in trouble in her previous life. She was a good girl.

When he saw Mi Lingling, some unfamiliar memories flooded into his mind. They were about the second half of this girl's life. She lived an unhappy life. She was sold by Lin Cuiliu and married to an old man from a neighboring brigade who was physically and visually impaired. He abused her every day. Later, the old man thought she could not have children, so he sold her again.

Or they would be sold to poorer places than here, to remote mountainous areas, to be shared wives by brothers in the same family, and suffer a lifetime of torture.

In Mi Youjiao's mind, the girl's life played out like a movie, and the real her seemed to be there in person.

I looked at the smiling girl in front of me with some sympathy. She was reborn in this life. Perhaps, she could change some things that had happened in the past. Perhaps, this was the meaning of her rebirth.

Seeing their family coming, Mi Lingling waved at them happily and greeted them, "Sister Youjiao," while paddling towards them.

She was sitting in a large wooden basin. Inside the basin, there were only a few small lotus pods, a few lotus leaves and a few lotus flowers.

Mi Youjiao stretched her head to take a look, feeling quite sympathetic. She suddenly had a strong premonition that she would return with a full load today and could help other friends. Her eyes swept over the lotus pond, which should contain lotus roots, which is also a good seasonal dish in summer.

As Brother Mi pushed the family boat into the lotus pond, several tall and strong men also jumped into the lotus pond.

Mi Youjiao greeted Mi Lingling: "Sister Lingling, aren't you going to dig lotus roots? I feel like there are a lot of lotus roots in this lotus pond. This is a great dish."

Mi Youjiao ignored her before, but now she actually talked to her. Mi Lingling was very happy. She smiled and showed her two small tiger teeth: "Sister Youjiao, I came here alone today, so it's not easy to deal with it."

Mi Youjiao patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, my brother and my Zhenjun are here, and I promise to dig a lot of lotus roots for you later."

Mi Lingling smiled. She was so happy today. Sister Youjiao not only talked to her but also ignored that bad educated youth. It was really nice.

She knew that Lin Cuiliu and Zheng Hai were not good people, and with that Jin Zhaodi, what was going on now? Two people were arrested, right?

She was really happy for her sister Youjiao that she was able to withdraw from them in time.

The two little sisters were having fun in the lotus pond, picking lotus flowers and lotus pods.

Although the water level has dropped by half, it is still enough to maintain the ecosystem of this lotus pond.

Sure enough, just as Mi Youjiao had imagined, they dug up a lot of lotus roots in the lotus pond today and shared them with their friends who were with them today.

I also picked a lot of lotus seeds and lotus flowers, and was lucky enough to catch several big crucian carp.

The lotus pond is already shallow, so Brother Mi and Tang Zhenjun and several other men were helping out.

Several men grew up in the brigade and were very familiar with finding food in the water.

With Mi Youjiao's help, they quickly caught a lot of good things. Looking at the water in the lotus pond, Mi Youjiao avoided people and dripped a drop of spiritual spring well water into it. Suddenly, all kinds of fish, big and small, swam towards them.

Mi Lingling looked at a big fish weighing five or six kilograms, happily swinging its tail in the water. She pointed at the fish and shouted happily: "Hurry, hurry, there are so many fish here, Brother Mi, Brother Mi, Sister Youjiao, come quickly."

Her excited shouts attracted people towards them.

Mi Youjiao raised her eyebrows. Her spiritual spring water was indeed effective. Tang Zhenjun and the Mi brothers were not far away from her. They were all smiling happily. They asked their little nieces who were still on the shore to go home and get tools to catch the fish.

After a while, Brother Mi San also dug up quite a few lotus roots.

Mi Youjiao and Mi Lingling were so happy with their little nephews and nieces that they couldn't stop smiling. They were busy picking fish and digging lotus roots.

When the neighbors saw this, they all ran over carrying their buckets and basins.

As expected, everyone came back with a full load this afternoon.

Looking at the spoils in the wooden basin, which were enough for everyone in their family to eat for two or three days, he said hello to Mi Youjiao and promised to visit her often in the future. Then he and his brother, who had come to pick him up, carried the wooden basin full of fish, shrimps and lotus roots home.

Some of the neighbors living nearby also returned home with full loads and smiles on their faces.

Happy times always pass quickly. When she got out of the lotus pond, it was already time for dinner, and she had to go back to her husband's house.

I want to stay at my parents' house. I can come back anytime in the future, but not today.

But she still had time to cook dinner for her family.

After bringing a bunch of ingredients home, Mi Youjiao said that she could do it and she would be the chef for tonight's dinner.
