She seemed to have forgotten to tell her mother about the lotus root tip.

This is such a misunderstanding.

But this is also something edible, and it’s hard to explain it all at once.

Ye Guo thought about it and decided to go to his second brother first.

During the period of illness, the people who visited the original owner the most, besides Old Lady Ye, were her second sister-in-law.

Ye Laoer felt that it was because of his injury that the original owner was implicated, so most of the times he felt guilty and uneasy were different from ordinary people.

As for Ye Guo, she didn't dare to go before for various reasons, but now that she had food to eat, she couldn't wait any longer.

She didn't have empty hands either. She washed a lotus leaf, took a lot of lotus roots from the basket, washed them and packed them, then went to look for the door.

The room was a little dark, stuffy and filled with moisture.

Yes, this is a mud house and the ground is made of mud.

In addition to a bed, there are two wooden cabinets about one meter long in the room.

There are two stools, one high and one low, beside the bed.

"Second brother, are you asleep?" Ye Guo made a deliberate sound and lowered his head to suppress the discomfort in his heart when he saw Ye Lao Er just now.

Brother Ye is only in his early 30s, but half of his hair is white and he is so thin that only bones are left. He looks like an African refugee.

Seeing her push the door open, his eyes sparkled, and he sat up with his hands, "Why are you here, little sister? It's hot in the room, and you haven't recovered yet, so I don't want you to get suffocated."

Ye Guo smiled and placed the lotus root tip on the bedside, "Come to see second brother and ask for his help."

"Second brother is a useless person now, how can he help you?" Ye Lao Er lowered his head, even his smile was bitter.

When Ye Guo heard this, she was filled with guilt. Her heart tightened and ached uncontrollably, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Ye Laoer was the first member of the Ye family to die.

This sudden and intense emotion made her a little overwhelmed.

Ye Guo himself is not an emotional person, especially since his parents died young. This is probably the emotion left over from the original owner's body.

"Second brother, please wait for me a moment." Ye Guo had tears in his eyes and he couldn't control it at all.

She fled from her second brother's room and returned to her own room.

Tears fell like rain, but Ye Guo could only wipe them away numbly, and the tears kept falling.

"Ye Guo, don't worry, I will treat the Ye family well and do my best." Ye Guo does not believe in Buddhism, but she also worships Buddha.

She believes in cause and effect.

Just like now, she doesn’t know whether Ye Guo exists or not, but she will do it with a clear conscience.

The strange thing is, after she finished saying this, it was as if she had completed a handover, and her emotions slowly became controllable.

Ye Guo washed his face and then used cold water to pat his face and eyes until the stains were no longer noticeable. Then he put the small number of lotus pods in the corridor into the backpack and pushed the door open to enter Ye Lao Er's room again.

"What's wrong? Did something happen?" Ye Laoer sat there anxiously, his face full of suspicion.

Seeing Ye Guo come in again, he moved towards the bed in a hurry, which made her eyelids twitch.

"I'm fine, second brother, please sit down quickly." Ye Guo put down the backpack and moved Ye Laoer in with great effort.

When his fingers touched Ye Lao Er's body, he paused for a second and then quickly joked, "Second brother, you are already a father, why are you still so impatient? I just went out to get something."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you just now, the lotus root inside the lotus leaf is for your daily snack. It's sweet and delicious."

Ye Lao Er was really frightened just now. His little sister was so young, and he couldn't get out of bed. He was afraid of mobilizing a large number of people if he called for help. He only relaxed when he heard the smile in Ye Guo's words.

"Since it's edible, take it back, little sister, and eat it when you're hungry. Second brother doesn't have to go out to work now, so he doesn't feel hungry at ordinary times."

Ye Guo was not surprised by this, but the impact of actually hearing it was definitely different from what others remembered.

Ye Laoer is so stupid that it makes people feel sorry for him.

"Before I left, didn't I ask you to help me? Here, I'll have to trouble you to peel these lotus pods when you have time."

"The first step is to peel the skin, and then the green inside is the lotus seed core. Take out the lotus seed core separately and put it in this bamboo tube. I will need it later."

Lotus seed core is most suitable for people with internal heat. If the fire in the heart is strong, drinking a glass of water will basically do the trick.

Of course, the main reason why she made such a request was because lotus seed core could be used as medicine, which meant it could be sold for money.

Ye Guo demonstrated as he spoke, saying that it was actually not complicated, but the difficult part was that this job was very boring.

But for Ye Laoer, it was the happiest thing that had happened to him since he was injured.

"That's easy. I promise to take care of it for you. Don't worry, I can peel all the things in the basket tonight, no, tomorrow, according to your request."

Ye Guo...do you still want to work overtime?

Workers don’t want to.

"Thank you, second brother."

"The lotus root tips are your reward, and they can also fill your stomach. After you eat them, you can eat less."

These words may sound unpleasant to outsiders, but when Ye Lao Er heard them, he thought it was the best thing. His brows and eyes relaxed a little and he didn't feel offended at all.

Ye Laoer had been applying black and green herbs on his legs and dared not move.

Broken bones for a hundred days.

For him, peeling lotus seeds was not an easy task. But Ye Lao Er was visibly more energetic.

He was extremely grateful for his younger sister's arrangement, and added another layer of filter.

well.

Ye Guo nodded with satisfaction at his arrangement.

Just have something to do, so you don't have time to think about random things.

Next up is dinner.

Eat well, eat well, eat well.

Seeing that Ye Lao Er had already started working whole-heartedly, and even she, who was standing beside him, was automatically distracted, Ye Guo couldn't help laughing.

But she was also tactful and prepared to add more food to everyone's meal.

Old Mrs. Ye was cooking porridge in the kitchen. When Ye Guo walked in, she was a little surprised. "Why are you here? It's hot here. Go back to your room and lie down first."

"The food will be ready soon."

Ye Cheng knew that the lotus root tips were edible, so he washed them, put them away and covered them with something, so Old Lady Ye didn't notice it.

"Mom, let me make dinner! Where's the garlic?"

Old Mrs. Ye was a little worried. On the one hand, she didn't want to discourage her daughter from doing things, and on the other hand, she was worried about her health.

Ye Guo was so focused on how to cook the lotus root tips that he didn't notice Old Lady Ye's troubled look.

Then, without hesitation, he poured all the white and tender lotus root tips into the porridge that was being cooked.

Old Lady Ye...

"Xiao Guo, what did you put in it?" This is a family dinner!!!

She didn't say the latter part, but Ye Guo saw it.

Ye Guo stuffed a piece of lotus root directly into Old Lady Ye's mouth.

"Mom, I forgot to tell you before, this is the tip of the lotus root that grows under the tip of the lotus leaf. Ah Cheng and I ate this at noon."

“You can eat it raw, and it’s also delicious cooked.”

Although Ye Guo knew that the Ye family members were more indulgent towards her, she was still reasonable and methodical in her conduct and work.

No matter how much you say, it’s better to give them a real try.

The reason why Lianmi agreed to let Old Lady Ye feed the chicken first was because after all, someone had lost his life because of this.

The lotus root tips are different. No one knew about this thing before.

There are 12 people in the Ye family, big and small. Each person eats 20 taels of rice on average, which takes about kilograms.

Ye Cheng had obviously done a rough calculation and filled two large basins, one for cooking porridge and one for stir-frying, which was just right.

Seeing Ye Guo still struggling to carry another bowl, Old Lady Ye helped and asked uncertainly, "Where did this come from? Do you feel uncomfortable after eating it?"

Ye Guo shook his head, "Mom, how does it taste?"

Old Mrs. Ye...just came back to her senses in a daze, and it seemed that she had just eaten as well.

"It's fine."

But she kept nagging, "How dare you be so bold? What if you eat the wrong food, what will you let me and your father do?"

"And Ah Cheng, didn't I ask him to watch you? This brat must be punished by the eldest brother's wife. He even dared to disobey me."

What Ye Guo actually wanted to say was that if you were there, you would probably give in faster than Ah Cheng.

But there are some things that cannot be said too clearly, otherwise the relationship will become unreliable!

We still need to work hard to defend our mother's authority.

But this couldn't stop her from cooking! Just as she was about to ask where the oil was at home, she heard a "bang" at the door and someone pushed it open from outside.

It should be Dad and elder brother who have returned.
