Chapter 747: The vegetable patch is so fun
"Sister-in-law, I'll go with you!" The fruit also followed.
Wang Guiying took a dustpan and a sickle, and the two small groups walked over curiously, "Grandma, what is this?" ”
"It's called a dustpan, and it's used for cooking. This scythe baby can't be moved, be careful to cut your hand. Wang Guiying said.
"Oh." The two little balls looked at the sickle curiously, this knife was so slender and curved, it was really funny.
"Grandma, where's the vegetable patch? Far away? Ping Ping asked.
"Not far, just behind the yard." Wang Guiying took the dustpan, led everyone to the back door of the courtyard, pulled the bolt of the door, and there was a vegetable field behind it.
Although it was winter, the weather was sunny and the vegetable patch was full of life.
The cabbage planted in a row has already taken to heart, blooming rape flowers, and bees are buzzing to collect nectar.
The half-furrow planted on the side is white radish, and the half-furrow is carrot, the radish leaves are green and oily, and the white radish grows in the ground and you can see a white radish exposed to the ground.
On the other side are celery and garlic sprouts, and the ground is very dark, which is grass ash.
Celery and garlic seedlings like fertilizer and moisture, and the ash of plants and trees is mainly potassium fertilizer, but they are easy to fly in dry weather, so a layer of dry thatch is spread on top, sprinkled with water, and the fertilizer is maintained while playing the role of heat preservation. So the celery and garlic sprouts grow exceptionally well, green, as if coated with a layer of oil.
On the other side is the red cabbage moss, which also grows very well, reddish-purple, and the cabbage sum is already very high.
There are also cabbage and cauliflower on the side, which are mainly these vegetables in winter, such as cucumbers and peppers, which are all summer vegetables, without greenhouses, and generally cannot be planted in winter and will freeze to death.
"There are quite a lot of dishes this year." Guo Xiang said.
"Yes, the weather is good this year, it's warm, and the dishes are growing well. But if you look at that cabbage sum, it's all hearty, and if you don't pick it, it's old and not delicious. Wang Guiying pointed to the bunch of cabbage and said.
Wang Guiying picked up the sickle, "You guys take a look here, I'll go and chop down some of the cabbage." ”
The two little dumplings were very curious when they saw so many dishes, and followed Guo'er's side to ask what this was and what it was, and Guo'er answered them patiently.
"This flower is so beautiful, can I pick it?" An An pointed to a rape flower in front of him.
"Yes, my aunt will teach you." Guo'er smiled, "Look, your fingers are pinched here and folded hard. ”
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" An An Huan screamed and found a new flower, and folded it off.
"Is this a bee?" Ping Ping pointed to a bee on a flower, which he had seen in a book, but he had not seen the real thing.
"Yes, be careful, don't pick that flower, be careful that it stings you, it hurts." Fruit reminder.
"Oh!" Ping Ping obediently moved to the side, he didn't dare to provoke the bees.
"Pingping, An'an, come here, let's pull the turnips." Guo Xiang shouted over there.
"Pulling turnips?" The eyes of the two little groups lit up, they learned the children's song "Pulling Turnips", but they had never seen what a radish really grew in the ground.
"Pull the turnip, pull the turnip, hey, hey, hey, you can't pull it......" The two small groups ran to Guo Xiang's side while singing.
"Come, Mom will teach you how to pluck turnips." Guo Xiang smiled and opened the radish leaves, "Do you see the radish below?" ”
"See!" The two little balls said in unison.
"Shall we pull the baby turnip out?" Guo Xiang smiled, "Grab this radish leaf and pull it up hard......"
The two little balls were holding a radish in one of them, and the radish leaves were a little prickly, An An pouted, and seeing that her brother didn't say anything, she didn't speak.
I pulled it up hard, but the strength was too small to pull it out.
"Brother, I'll help you!" An An gave up his radish and went to Pingping, stretched out his little hand to grab the radish leaf, "One, two, three...... 000 literature
Suddenly, An An sat on the ground with a "plop", she looked at the broken leaves in her hands with a confused expression, how could this be?
Guo Xiang laughed, An An was so aggrieved, and her mother didn't feel sorry for herself and laughed at herself.
Guo Xiang hurriedly walked over, helped An An up, and patted her little buttocks, "Did the fall hurt?" ”
An An pouted, and said aggrievedly with tears in her eyes: "It doesn't hurt!" ”
"Come, Mommy will teach you. When pulling the radish, you have to grasp the leaves of this root so that it is not easy to break, and the baby will try again? Guo Xiang said.
Pingping heard what his mother said, and quietly moved his hand down a little, which was actually the same when his mother demonstrated just now, but they didn't pay attention, just paying attention to her saying that she was going to catch the leaves.
Grasp the root of the radish, one by one, and pull out the radish.
"Bah, I pulled it out!" Ping Ping shouted happily.
An An's desire to win also got up all of a sudden, squatted down, grabbed a radish and pulled it out hard, and squatted on the ground again, but looking at the radish in his hand, he didn't care about the pain in his butt, and showed off to his mother, "I also pulled it out!" ”
"An An is amazing!" Guo Xiang laughed.
With the results, the two children came to the momentum, put the radish on the ground, and began to look for the next target.
"You don't have to pull that much." Guo Xiang said.
"It's okay, let them play, and the ones that are pulled out can be put into the jar to make sour radish." Wang Guiying said with a smile. Seeing the two grandchildren having so much fun, I couldn't bear to interrupt their enthusiasm.
Guo Xiang went over to help Wang Guiying get the cabbage.
The Chinese cabbage was cut down whole, and there were some broken leaves on the outside, and Guo Xiang helped sort it out.
"Mother, do you still want these leaves?"
"Yes, this can be fed to the pigs, put it aside first, and if it can't fit, come back and get it later." Wang Guiying said.
"Good!" Guo Xiang nodded, peeled off some yellowed and damaged leaves on the outside and put them aside, picked off the cabbage sum, and stacked it in a dustpan.
Guo'er went to pull garlic seedlings, "Pingping, An'an, come and pull garlic seedlings, this is easy." ”
The child is still young and has no strength, and some of the radishes are a little bigger and pierced deeply, and they can't pull them out.
The two little balls ran over to the side, the garlic sprouts were much easier to pull, and they pulled them out at once, and the two had a lot of fun.
It turns out that the vegetable patch is so fun!
Guo Xiang saw that they were having fun and followed them, and he couldn't experience such a life in the city.
It is good for children to have more contact with nature and be more grounded.
Suddenly, An An screamed, "What's wrong?" Guo Xiang was taken aback.
"Worm, worm ......" An An pointed to the cabbage on the side and screamed in fright.
Guo Xiang walked over and took a look, goosebumps all over his body, there were two fat and big green worms on the cabbage, and he saw that the hairs stood up.
Guo Xiangtian is not afraid of the ground, he is afraid of this kind of bug.
"Don't be afraid, I'll come!" Guo'er came over, picked up a discarded bamboo that was used to pull the cucumber vine in the summer, broke it in two, picked up the green worm and threw it on the ground, and stepped on it to burst the worm.
An Anhua's face was pale, looking at the fruit, the little aunt is so amazing!
Guo'er laughed, "You see, those butterflies are the eggs they lay on the vegetables, and the eggs hatch small insects to eat the vegetables, they are pests!" ”
"Huh? So are pretty butterflies pests? An An looked disappointed.
