In the natural science class, the teacher's homework requirements are not much, and it is a bit like an open-ended topic, children can freely choose the plants they want to plant, and they can also invite their parents to participate, but they must write clearly in the experiment report what they have done by themselves, of course, the most important thing is that the observation of the experiment report needs to be submitted once a week, so that the teacher can see their progress and perseverance!

"What do you want to plant?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.

Xixi still has a strong interest in this, and when she got home, she didn't bother to change her clothes, and she ran around excitedly with her natural science textbook in her school uniform.

"I want to plant peach trees, baba, our school has very beautiful peach blossoms, and Teacher Cen has taken us to see them. "Teacher Cen that Xixi is talking about is the subject teacher of her natural science class.

I saw that the little girl was very excited to come to the floor-to-ceiling window of the living room, pointed to the yard of their house and said, "If our family also planted peach trees, it would be very beautiful!"

Yang Yi said with a little crying and laughing: "Peach trees, peach trees are not good, if you plant a peach tree, it may take several years to see the results, so you have no way to hand in the homework for observation to the teacher." ”

When Xi Xi heard this, she retracted her little hand and said a little distressedly: "So, then, what do we plant?"

Yang Yi carefully read the description in Xixi's natural science textbook, and said with a smile: "You are talking about growing vegetables, and growing vegetables has a very fast effect, almost every day, no matter how bad it is, there will be new changes every week." So you can pick some of your favorite vegetables to grow. ”

Xi Xi tilted her little head and watched her father intently, her eyes blinked, and she said, "Then let's grow apples!

"Apples aren't vegetables, they're fruits!" Murphy couldn't help but laugh as he listened, "I know everything, how can you get confused?"

"But, but apples are also vegetables! Baba sometimes makes a dish!" Xixi felt that her mother's words were not authoritative enough, so she pouted and argued.

"Mom is right, apples are fruits, not vegetables, even if Dad makes them into dishes, isn't the name of that dish also called fruit salad? It's not called vegetable salad, right?" Yang Yi smiled and patted Xixi on the shoulder and said.

The little girl thought about it for a while, and then reluctantly accepted her father's statement.

Yang Yi also reflected on himself, just now he let Xixi choose, is it a little too difficult for a little girl who doesn't know much at this age?

So, he thought about it and decided to narrow down the scope of Xixi's selection.

"Now Dad gives you a few choices, there are cabbage, there are celery, their characteristics, that is, you can use the rhizome part of the direct cultivation, or you can grow carrots or carrots, these two are different from the previous ones, they are the parts that need to use the head of the radish, we usually don't eat, of course, this also needs to be treated to a certain extent. Yang Yi smiled and said to Xi Xi, "There are also mung beans that can be sprouted, the kind of mung bean sprouts you like to eat, potatoes can also be planted, unlike the previous one, if it is planted, it can be planted directly with cut tubers." ”

The memory of some farming in the countryside of his predecessor still makes Yang Yi still have relatively rich agricultural knowledge, at least it is enough to deal with Xixi's operation!

No, Yang Yi talked eloquently, and Xixi and Murphy next to him listened with admiration.

Murphy also sighed: "How do you know so much?"

"Baba, I'm going to plant it. Xixi was very excited when she heard this, took her father's hand, jumped up next to her, and asked with a little face very excitedly, "Baba, our family is so big, we all grow it, okay?"

Murphy also said with interest: "Since you have planted it, let's plant more!

Yang Yi looked at Xixi's little head and eyes, smiled, and said, "Okay, in this case, we will grow one of each type, in view of the ingredients we have at home today, celery and cabbage, we will grow celery, white radish and carrot, we will grow carrots, okay?"

Xixi's little face suddenly became a little tangled, she pouted slightly, her body twisted, and muttered unhappily: "But, Baba, I prefer cabbage." ”

In the past few days, her father let her eat celery a few times, although Xixi still worked hard to eat it in order for her teeth to grow better in the future, but she still didn't like the taste of celery very much!

"Okay, let's grow cabbage, and it looks a little better when it grows cabbage. Seeing this, Yang Yi couldn't help but smile and said, "There is no cabbage root at home today, and Dad will get you another one tomorrow." ”

"Mmmm, I want to grow cabbage, cabbage!" the little girl opened her arms with joy.

……

Now that he has decided, after eating tonight, Xixi can't wait to follow his father and start the preparation for planting vegetables.

"Here, this is a mung bean, you take it and soak it in water, just like you used to wash rice when you helped your father cook, but you have to clean up the mung beans floating on the water. Yang Yi took a large glass basin that usually holds fruit salad, poured three handfuls of mung beans into it, and then handed it to Xixi.

"Uh-huh!" Xixi ran over diligently, took the basin, ran to the sink, turned on the faucet and filled it with water.

Yang Yi stood behind the little girl, watched her put her little hand in it, and pulled it a few times.

"Okay, pick out the mung beans floating on the water, and remember the steps you did today!" Yang Yi said with a smile, "Our experiment has begun, and you have to record these in your own experiment report!"

Xixi's little face tightened, and her little mouth that was grinning just now was also pursed, and it could be seen that she was also serious.

I saw that the little girl looked at each other, and carefully fished out the mung beans floating on the water with her two little hands like scooping water.

"Do you know why you want to fish out these floating ones?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.

Xixi shook her little head in confusion.

"If you look at it, what's the difference between what's floating on the surface and what's still under the water. Yang Yi did not directly say the answer.

Xixi stopped what she was doing, and as her father said, she pinched up two different mung beans and took a closer look.

"This one is lighter, it seems to be empty!" Xixi looked back at her father in some surprise.

"That's right, because these are the shells of mung beans, and before they were sold to us, they probably broke out of the shells because they were damaged during the production process. The reason why I want to pick it out is because this kind of mung bean shell without substance can't grow mung bean sprouts!" Yang Yi patiently explained to the little girl at this time.
