Chapter 494: Farming is Bitter and Joyful

Tang Xiaoxin finished inserting a bundle of seedlings in her hand, looked at the crooked seedlings in front of her, a small piece of lush green, and straightened her back with her waist crossed.

The shorts and placket are already stained with muddy water, so they are not so particular.

I feel a little proud to stop and plant rice for a while and appreciate what I have just done!

On the blue sky, white clouds drifted by, and the warm sunlight sprinkled on the fields.

A gentle breeze blew, blowing the small wildflowers on the edge of the ridge to shake their heads, and some butterflies were attracted by the fragrance of flowers and flew over.

Tang Xiaoxin felt a burst of coolness on her body, as if all her troubles had been taken away by the wind!

I couldn't help but raise my head and smile at my parents who were looking at me outside.

Then he shouted, "Dad, give me the seedlings!" ”

Dad Tang smiled: "Pick it up!" ”

Carrying a bundle of seedlings, he picked up his arm and threw it from bottom to top and threw it at Tang Xiaoxin's feet.

The seedling fell into the water and splashed a big splash, which caught Tang Xiaoxin off guard.

The pants on his chest, his face and hair were stained with mud and water, and he looked like a mess.

Qian Keke watched the muddy water dripping down her face, and couldn't help laughing wildly: "Hahahaha, you're so funny!" ”

As she spoke, a bundle of seedlings smashed into her area, and she was also muddy.

Qian Ma threw it.

The two of them looked at each other's messy appearance, and they couldn't help but show their white teeth, and laughed!

Bundles of seedlings fell into the field, and soon, the children were all turned into mud babies.

Parents throw seedlings to their children, and it feels like it's fun!

Especially Dad Tang, who grew up in the countryside and helped his parents farm when he was a child, is even more nostalgic.

At that time, in the countryside, you could often hear cuckoos calling, but you couldn't hear them when you entered the city.

Looking at the crooked seedlings, my hands are a little itchy, and I can't wait to go down to the ground to plant them and show my children what it means to be a master.

Listening to the leisurely singing of the cuckoo "cuckoo~cuckoo~", smelling the fragrance of the soil from the field, and watching the children planting seedlings, it is as if returning to childhood and playing carefree in the field!

Catching it is like catching summer.

Lying in the shade of the trees, the stream gurgling, the birds singing, listening to the sound of all things, happy and beautiful.

While nostalgic, I took a photo of Tang Xiaoxin, who was in the state of a mud monkey!

The children hunched their backs and bent over, their eyes carefully and attentively inserting the seedlings into the mud one by one.

A parent instructed on the side: "This one is floating!" You press it down, and there's no mud to find some mud from the side. ”

The children were also very concerned about the seedlings they planted, and while planting, they reminded the people who planted the seedlings nearby: "Be careful! Don't knock my seedlings down! ”

In fact, pulling seedlings is also quite interesting, but it is a bit difficult, and the tender and weak seedlings will be broken if they are not pulled well. If you pull it out, you have to shake it up with mud.

If you pull it out and then plant it, this workload may be a bit too much for children, so it's good to experience the process of planting seedlings.

But rice planting is a labor after all!

Tang Xiaoxin and her children in the city usually lack exercise, they are a little out of breath after jogging a few laps in the playground in the morning, and the physical education teacher is often sick, so the head teacher can only have no choice but to study on his own.

The body is really not good, and the first time I tried to plant seedlings, I was not proficient, and it took half a day to plant each one.

Even if each person has to plant only 500 seedlings, it's a huge amount of work.

Tang Xiaoxin felt quite fun planting rice at first.

After inserting a few bundles, I kept bending over and hunching my back, and gradually felt that my waist and legs were sore.

Stand up straight, rub your legs.

Young children, this will already be very unfigurative to sit on the edge of the ridge to rest!

Originally, she also wanted to rest for a while, but when she saw that Qian Keke was planting seedlings faster than herself, she planted twenty more seedlings, and left herself behind, still focusing on planting seedlings, arousing a desire not to admit defeat.

He shouted to Dad Tang again and threw a bundle of seedlings.

Fang Ye saw that the children were tired, so he clapped his hands and told everyone to rest for a while.

If there is any animal nearby, point it and say it.

In the nearby treetops, there was a bird with a white belly, a black forehead to the top of its head, a white back of its head, and gray-green wings!

"Chirp~Chirp~"

The singing is loud and full!

Fang Ye asked, "Does anyone know what kind of bird this is?" ”

The children shook their heads in unison!

But someone said, "I think I've seen it near my house!" ”

Fang Ye smiled: "This is a bald bulbul!" One of the most common birds in our city.

There is a story about the bald bulbul that it wanted to learn a lot of superb skills, so it learned to build a nest with a magpie, learn to sing with a yellow warbler, learn to fly with an eagle, and learn to fish with a cormorant...... As a result, until his head is full of gray hair, he has learned every skill.

Later, he passed on this gray hair to his children and grandchildren.

As a fairy tale, it tells us to be persistent in doing things, not half-hearted.

However, it also talked about the most obvious feature of the bald bulbul, which is a smear of whiteness on the back of the head, which can be used to identify them.

It's their breeding season, and this bald bulbul is probably calling for a mate. ”

"Oh!"

The children have all remembered the bald bulbul, and they will recognize it next time they see it.

After a 10-minute break, I continued to plant rice.

The sun was gradually rising, Tang Xiaoxin was planting seedlings, feeling sweaty!

The arms, legs, waist, and back muscles are sore and uncomfortable.

In the process of transplanting seedlings, I gradually became more proficient, and I have improved a lot compared to the clumsiness when I first planted seedlings.

Qian Keke was the first to finish planting, sat on the ridge to rest, and encouraged her: "Come on, come on!" ”

Tang Xiaoxin stood up with her legs and took a breath with a grin: "Hey, it's finally planted!" I'm exhausted! ”

Standing up and looking at the verdant seedlings that I had planted in the yellow muddy water, although the arrangement was not very neat, but it was still standing straight and spirited, and a sense of accomplishment arose in my heart!

Dad Tang and Mom Tang, laughing on the side, applauded her "quack"!

"Daughter, you're amazing!"

"Come on, take a sip of water!"

Tang Xiaoxin took the mineral water and drank it happily.

She had imagined what farming was like.

However, the picture imagined in my mind is still not so direct to experience it personally.

There is the natural comfort of mountains and rivers, but also fatigue and hardship!

After planting, the mood is satisfied and happy.

If there are children who are really not motivated to continue farming, of course they will not be forced.

There are already a lot of tourists around the side, watching the scene of the children planting rice, they are all asking what is going on with this activity, and they want their children to come and participate in the exercise.

In the vacant land, a few children temporarily joined in, putting on equipment and farming happily.

There are also tourists who secretly note in their hearts, thinking that they will register their children when they are in the second phase of farming.
