Her Cultivation Diary-Chapter 1874 - 1681: Da Wang! Big White!

In July, the lotus pond is at the height of its bloom.

Before even reaching the Riverside Beach, from a distance, you can see the vast expanse of lotus leaves and flowers fluttering in the wind.

Looking down from above, you can see different colors like creamy yellow, pinkish white, purple red, and light blue at the center, clearly indicating some rare varieties among the lotuses.

But on the outskirts, you will see the more conventional pink lotuses.

Lun Chuan and the others had just driven past an intersection when they saw a large group of them walking slowly and chatting by the roadside.

When they stopped the car and exchanged a few words, they learned the group was heading to the lotus pond, and the three big men in the car urged him:

"Get out, get out! There’s no hurry to put away the stuff we bought; let’s go take a look together!"

Lun Chuan couldn’t help but laugh: "It would only take 5 minutes to drive back."

"Oh, you don’t understand!"

He Kuang exclaimed loudly: "Look at my son, so well-behaved! It’s rare for him to calm down; let me enjoy it a bit longer, will you?"

Indeed, among the crowd, two little girls were running and jumping, giggling along, while He Tuo was looking quite serious, walking steadily.

Beside him, Little Ten’s glossy fur was gleaming golden under the sun, and as they walked, his big tail would occasionally brush against He Tuo’s back.

As they continued, he would nudge He Tuo a bit, whimpering softly.

Clearly, this dog hadn’t fully spent its energy yet!

Look! What an obedient son!

Even not just He Kuang, but the entire Old He Family adored him so much that they didn’t dare to tease the child, worried that he might get lively again later.

Seeing him speak so humbly, Lun Chuan was helpless and had to park the car directly by the roadside.

The sun was blazing overhead, and he pointed down below:

"When we get down there, you can just pick a lotus leaf to use as a hat."

With such fair skin, he’s not afraid of the sun; so why would a few rough men fear?

They quickly got out of the car, and now looking at the sparkling Riverside Beach before them, with the faint outlines of cliffs in the distance, the vast lotus pond, reeds, and pasture...

The four writers couldn’t come up with a fitting phrase, so in the end, Qin Yun could only exclaim:

"Damn, it looks beautiful no matter how you see it!"

Indeed, indeed!

Yun Feng nodded repeatedly, his eyes already drawn to the greenery, stepping down without hesitation.

In the midst of the vast lotus pond, the lotuses at the center had clear distinctions from the others.

"Why are they planted differently? Won’t they get mixed up when digging up the lotus roots? The ones in the middle must be much more expensive, right?"

Wu Lan laughed: "It’s possible to distinguish; it’s all Tantan’s idea, with specialized zoning in the middle. The ones inside are ornamental lotuses, which our Lun Chuan likes, planted for him to view."

Just like the sunflowers on the mountain, purely for snacking on the seeds, Wu Lan wouldn’t plant so many fancy varieties otherwise.

The ones outside are just ordinary lotuses, which are also pretty, and when picking lotus seeds or digging lotus roots, you don’t feel as much regret.

Everyone stared at Lun Chuan, suddenly feeling a bit envious.

...

During midsummer, even at five o’clock in the afternoon, the sun was still scorching, but in the countryside, it seemed like walking leisurely was a matter of course.

Everyone set out from the homestay wearing sun hats, strolling along leisurely.

Despite being covered in sweat, the warm, damp wind blowing across Riverside Beach brought a hint of coolness, unlike the coolness of air conditioning, making it comfortably pleasant.

If you brought a cup of tea to sip on!

Ah, yes!

As the warm tea goes down the throat, another layer of sweat emerges, making you feel completely refreshed.

Wu Lan wiped the sweat from her forehead, noticing her daughter and son’s slightly red cheeks but seemingly not sweating much.

Then she glanced at Lun Chuan.

Wow, the handsome young man’s face was exactly the same.

Just saying, he really should be part of their family!

This put her in a good mood, so she loudly said:

"If you had come two months earlier, Tantan could have taken you to the lotus pond to pick lotus stems; stir-fried, they’re especially tender and delicious with rice."

It’s not possible now since they’re growing vigorously with flowers and lotus pods, and it feels a bit wasteful to dig them up too much.

Lotus stems?!

Whether they had eaten them or not, everyone was wistfully regretting at the thought.

Meanwhile, Song Tan, amidst the sighs of regret, pointed to another side by the river:

"There are also water caltrops over there, although not as many as in the pond. I’ll find time to take you to pick fresh ones from the pond in a couple of days. They’re much smaller than the ones at the market, about the size of quail eggs, but very tender and sweet."
