Liu Juan interrupted Shen Dong's thoughts: "Who cares? It's not good to be this big. Hurry up and dig more. We will take it to the market to sell tomorrow."

Shen Dong nodded: "Maybe it's the good variety." After muttering, he began to dig lotus roots excitedly again.

Shen Yingying walked towards Shen Xuening: "Sister, what are you shooting?"

Shen Xue Ning replied: "I'm filming my dad digging lotus roots."

Shen Yingying still knows a little bit, and is not completely a nerd: "Are you going to take a short video?"

Shen Xue Ning nodded: "Yes, you know?"

Shen Yingying said: "I know, it's so popular on the Internet now, many people are shooting videos, I just don't have time, otherwise I would shoot too."

Shen Xue Ning thought for a moment and said, "Then you take the photo, I'll go dig lotus roots."

Shen Yingying felt sorry for Shen Xue Ning's expensive clothes: "Huh? Big sister, digging lotus roots is very dirty."

Shen Xue Ning is not a person who is afraid of hard work, nor is she a person who is afraid of getting dirty or tired: "I want to be a blogger, how can I be afraid of getting dirty?"

Shen Yingying still objected: "Then, then you should change your clothes. If they get dirty, you may not be able to wash them clean."

Shen Xue Ning thought about it and said, "Then let's go back together. Find me a set of your old clothes to wear."

Shen Yingying nodded: "Okay, let's go."

The two sisters returned home, and Shen Yingying found a new set of clothes for Shen Xue Ning that she had been reluctant to wear. In her heart, Shen Xue Ning looked noble and deserved the best.

"I'm going to dig lotus roots. Why should I wear such new clothes?" Shen Xuening refused Shen Yingying's new clothes, then found a set of old clothes in the corner and put them on.

Shen Yingying looked at Shen Xuening. Although she had changed into old clothes, her fair skin made the clothes look expensive. "Sister, why don't you stop digging."

Shen Xue Ning smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried that I can't dig it up?"

Shen Yingying spoke her mind: "You are not suitable for farm work."

Shen Xue Ning sorted out her clothes: "What's wrong?"

"Your skin is so good, it will become rough if you do farm work." Shen Yingying said sincerely, "I feel it is unfair for you to live in such an environment. I can't bear to see you do farm work again."

"Haha, you girl..." Shen Xue Ning pulled Shen Yingying out, "I was supposed to live here. The reason it's like this now is because I replaced someone else."

Shen Yingying looked at Shen Xuening, whose hair exuded nobility: "Big sister..."

Shen Xue Ning smiled and said, "Okay, it's okay, you'll get used to it in the future."

Seeing that she couldn't change Shen Xuening's mind, Shen Yingying could only compromise: "Then be careful and don't hurt your hands or anything."

Shen Xue Ning said: "Don't worry, I am still very capable."

When he arrived at the lotus pond, Shen Dong had already dug up more than a dozen lotus roots, which were plump and piled in a rectangular bamboo plate.

Liu Juan saw Shen Xuening changing into old clothes and asked, "Ningning, why are you dressed like this?"

"I'm here to dig lotus roots." Shen Xue Ning went straight down, and Liu Juan couldn't stop her, "Ning Ning..."

"It's okay, Mom, watch me dig lotus roots." Shen Xue Ning bent down to touch the lotus roots in the water.

Shen Yingying held up her phone and recorded Shen Xue Ning.

Shen Xuening didn't touch the lotus root, but a fish instead. She caught the fish quickly and said, "Look, what I caught?" and held it up.

Shen Wenxu cheered excitedly: "Yu Baibai, Mom, look, it's Yu Baibai."

Liu Juan quickly took the fish and said, "I'll take the fish home first and bring a bucket with me." Then she ran home.

Shen Dong laughed: "Ningning, you are lucky. You caught a fish with just one touch."

Shen Xue Ning was also very happy: "Are there any other animals in this lotus pond?"

As Shen Dong dug lotus roots, he said, "There should be crayfish, loaches, eels, frogs, etc..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Xue Ning pointed to the side next to him and said, "Dad, yellow eel."

On the water surface covered with thick duckweed, a big eel was swimming slowly, as if it had just eaten and came out for a walk, leisurely and unhurried.

Shen Dong was stunned, then he looked and saw that it was really an eel. He clenched his fist and smashed it on the eel's head.

Shen Xuening: “…”

Can you catch eels this way?

Shen Dong explained: "The eel's body is very slippery, and it is difficult to catch it by grabbing it from the air, so we can only knock it unconscious and then catch it." As he spoke, a yellow eel floated up from the water.

Shen Xue Ning looked at the eel that had fainted. How much strength would it take to knock out an eel weighing more than half a pound?

After a second of silence, Shen Dong picked up the eel and waited for Liu Juan to arrive.

Liu Juan came back soon: "I'm back."

Shen Dong said: "Pass the bucket over a bit, and you go back and get the net."

"What are you doing?" Liu Juan hadn't even caught her breath.

Shen Dong put the eel into the bucket and said with a smile, "Look at this big eel."

Liu Juan was amazed: "Oh my god, I haven't seen such a big eel in many years. There are some good things in this lotus pond."

Shen Dong said: "So go back and get the net bag and two more buckets. I will touch the crayfish later."

"Okay, I'll be right back." Liu Juan returned home, picked up the online shopping and bucket, and returned to the lotus pond again. "Do you need me to come down and work with you?"

"Don't come down, your legs will hurt soon." Shen Dong said.

Liu Juan's legs were injured and would hurt when it was cloudy or rainy. Shen Dong usually wouldn't let Liu Juan do any heavy work.

Liu Juan was very touched by Shen Dong's concern: "Then I won't come down. I'll run errands for you."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Xue Ning caught another fish. It was a carp, palm-sized and very fat: "Mom, bring the bucket over."

"Coming, coming." Liu Juan carried the bucket and walked towards the lotus pond which was closer to Shen Xue Ning.

Shen Xue Ning walked to the side and put the fish into the bucket: "If you catch more, you can sell them tomorrow."

She needs money now and wants to sell everything she sees.

Liu Juan seemed to be quite obedient to Shen Xue Ning: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Shen Xue Ning turned around and saw another yellow eel: "Mom, give me the net bag."

Liu Juan quickly handed it to Shen Xuening.

Shen Xuening took the net bag and caught the yellow eel in one go, and also caught a crayfish: "It's a good harvest."

Liu Juan said in surprise: "What a big eel, at least half a pound."

Shen Xuening: It seems that the spiritual spring water not only nourishes the lotus roots, but also all the creatures in the lotus pond. That’s great, we can all sell them for money.

Shen Dong took a look and was pleasantly surprised: "The eel is over 30 yuan per pound. I'll sell it tomorrow."

Shen Xue Ning suddenly had an idea: "Mom and Dad, what do eels like to eat? Should I go fishing for them?"

Neither Shen Dong nor Liu Juan thought of this: "Fishing for eels?"

Liu Juan thought for a moment and said, "I'll get you some meat. Yellow eels like to eat meat."

"Okay." Shen Xue Ning nodded.
