I heard that you like lotus...

Xiao Yuhe's heart suddenly softened, and the anger that was burning like the Flaming Mountain just now disappeared instantly. He tilted his head, deliberately not looking at Duan Shubai, and complained softly: "You don't have to dig it yourself, just let others do it."

Duan Shubai leaned on the iron cattail and smiled, saying casually: "Don't worry, I can do it alone, I promise to dig it for you in three or four days." After that, he continued to work hard. He planned to dig a lotus pond in front of the right side of the wooden building. He planted peach trees for most of the afternoon. He had a lot of experience in digging holes, so he would do it the easiest way.

"Who cares if you can do it." Xiao Yuhe lowered his eyes, pouted and muttered softly.

"What did you say?" Duan Shubai turned his head as if he had noticed something, and he seemed to hear Xiao Yuhe say something.

"Oh, nothing, you continue digging, I'm going to cook."

Xiao Yuhe turned and walked towards the kitchen. At noon, the stove he wanted had been rebuilt. Qiu Ran was preparing ingredients in the kitchen, sorting the washed ingredients into bamboo baskets and porcelain plates, waiting for his son to show off his skills. There were few ingredients in Xinyang City, so he placed bamboo shoots, wild vegetables and fish from the mountains around him.

Qiu Ran was washing vegetables seriously with his butt sticking out. Xiao Yuhe walked to him and slapped him, angrily saying, "You're still pretending!"

Qiu Ran soaked the wild vegetables in his hand in water, raised his head innocently and said, "Sir, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yuhe had a blank expression on his face: "You're still pretending with me. Did you hear what I said to... him outside just now?"

"I heard it. Sir, you were so loud just now, Qiu Ran was here naturally - I accidentally heard a little bit." Qiu Ran raised a finger to indicate that he really only heard a little bit.

"Why did you reveal my story to him on purpose?" Xiao Yuhe's expressionless face turned slightly red.

"Sir, what I said is all true. Besides, sir, are you not happy at all? My uncle dug it for you personally. Look how much my uncle loves you."

Xiao Yuhe glared at him fiercely, but he tacitly agreed with Qiu Ran's words. He held down the corners of his mouth and knocked on Qiu Ran's forehead three times, saying viciously: "Your sir is not happy at all. Although I like lotus, I hate mud more. Seeing your sloppy slut covered in black mud, I really want to kick you out, the disobedient, talkative, evil servant and the mud master."

Qiu Ran begged for mercy: "Sir, Qiu Ran has been with you for ten years. You must not abandon Qiu Ran."

Xiao Yuhe snorted: "It depends on your performance."

Duan Shubai said he would build a lotus pond for him in three or four days, and on the fourth day, he really built one. There was a muddy pond about the size of an acre in front of the wooden building. Water had been drawn in, and the water in the muddy pond was turbid. Duan Shubai pulled up his trouser legs, tied the hem of his clothes around his waist, and stood in the middle of the muddy pond to plant lotus seeds. It happened that ten kilograms of lotus seeds were given when the house was built before. He had a vague image of it, and he searched in the system space for a long time before finding the lotus seeds.

The germination rate of other seeds given by the system is particularly high. Duan Shubai thought that this lotus seed was also produced by the system. Although he didn't know what kind it was, he felt that it wouldn't be too bad, at least the survival rate was guaranteed.
