Chapter 9: New Friend Ning Fei'er (3)
"Uncle, I want to grow cactus, a smaller one." Yi Xiaoxiao smiled at this handsome uncle and gestured with her hand.
"Children, cactus balls are the overlords of plants, so be careful when planting." I wrote a cactus on the paper and looked at the cute little girl again.
To this day, she was the first to plant cactus, and she was still a little girl, and she silently gave her a thumbs up.
"Uncle, I'm not afraid, my cactus has to protect other plants."
"Then you kid, you're amazing."
Turning to another child, he asked her what she wanted to plant: "What about you, little friend?" What plants do you like? ”
"I... I want to grow frangipani, is that okay? Ning Fei'er was a little nervous, she rarely talked to outsiders.
"You chose to plant it in the soil? Or do you keep it in water? "Frangipani is planted in a special way, and little girls usually choose to plant it in water, so that it is easy to observe.
"I want to plant it next to the cactus, can my uncle?" Ning Fei'er opened her big watery eyes, full of anticipation.
"Absolutely." After writing it down in the notebook, I helped them put on gloves and fixed them with rubber bands.
When the two of them saw their uncle go to get the tools, they found the place where they wanted to plant, and the land here was soft and pleasant to the touch, so they chose this place.
When I saw my uncle again, I saw that he was holding some paper in his hand, tightly wrapped in the greenery, a small cactus, and a frangipani branch.
"Come, uncle, teach you." He slowly crouched down, took a small shovel, and slowly dug a small hole, ready to plant cactus.
"Do you dare to hold the cactus ball yourself?" He turned his head and asked Yi Xiaoxiao if she wanted to plant it herself.
"Uncle, I'm brave." Under the guidance of her uncle, Yi Xiaoxiao gently picked up the cactus wrapped in paper with her gloved hands, and took scissors to remove the excess paper and expose the roots of the cactus.
Since the outer layer of the cactus ball was wrapped in a layer of paper, it was not prickly at all, so he put it in the pit dug in advance: "Uncle, is this okay?" ”
"Yes, the kid is awesome, and then just bury it with soil." He didn't step forward to help, but just guided them on the side, which was just right to exercise their hands-on ability.
"I'm buried now." After Yi Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she fixed the cactus ball with one hand, and with the other hand, gently stirred the soft soil next to it, and only let go of her hand until it completely covered the roots.
"Okay, that's it, Uncle will help you take the paper off." To avoid pricking the child, he took it himself.
When the cactus ball is exposed to their sight, it is planted just right, not crooked at all, green, round, very small cactus, so cute.
"Fei'er, look, look..."
"Xiaoxiao, I found that the cactus ball is so cute." Ning Fei'er looked at the cactus ball planted by Yi Xiaoxiao herself, although it was covered in thorns, it was also cute.
"Fei'er, you go and plant frangipani, I want to see..." she took off her gloves and ran to the other side of the land, watching Ning Fei'er plant frangipani.
"I can, I can..." Ning Fei'er cheered herself up, and when her fingers picked up the fragile flower branch, she carefully gestured against the soil.
"Don't be afraid, the flowers are not so fragile, just put the branches of this frangipani into the soil." He smiled and pointed to the place where it was planted.
Finally, Ning Fei'er planted it in the soil, and her little hands were still a little trembling.
"Xiaoxiao, I planted it successfully." She succeeded, wouldn't her parents be happy if they could see this, she was a little braver......
