Chapter 169 Planting Rice (1)

Fragrant and sweet toffee.

It tastes amazing.

Ruan Jiaojiao narrowed her eyes because of the sweetness. She was enjoying her little appearance so much. She thought that it would be great if she could be so happy every day in the future.

Xu Xu looked at the candy in his hand but was reluctant to eat it. He secretly hid it in his pocket and planned to leave it for her to eat. Then he thought about hunting more prey tonight and exchange more money to buy her a lot. Toffee.

The two of them had their own thoughts until Ruan Lin came out of the kitchen and asked them to go to the entrance of the village to call someone.

——

Early May is the season for transplanting rice seedlings.

The students are all on vacation, and the Ruan family is large. Although the families are divided, everyone works together when planting rice. After the elder's family is done, the second family's family is done. This is not only fast, but also efficient.

This year is the same as usual, the only difference is that Liu Zhaodi is not here.

Mrs. Ruan Lin got up early in the morning and cooked meals for the whole family. When everyone was full, they went to the fields to plant rice seedlings together.

Ruan Jiaojiao was held in Ruan Jianguo's arms and walked along, lying on his shoulders along the way. She looked here and there curiously, feeling very good.

Several elder brothers who were in junior high school were walking in front, all carrying things in their hands. The elder brothers who were in elementary school were laughing and chasing and playing behind. Occasionally, they stepped into someone else's field and soiled their clothes, but no one was there. Don't care, just say hello with a smile.

There was laughter and laughter in the fields.

When they approached their own land, Ruan Jiaojiao twisted in Ruan Jianguo's arms, and Ruan Jianguo looked at her.

"Dad, I'll go by myself."

Ruan Jianguo frowned and looked at the muddy field bank below, not wanting to let the sweet-smelling and soft little girl go down there, as if stepping on her would make her dirty.

Du Qing was laughing from behind: "Brother, it's okay. Let Jiaojiao come down and walk around. Stepping in the mud will help relieve the illness."

This is the saying of the older generation. Children have always been sick and weak. Most of the time it is because they have not worked in the fields. It would be better to go to the fields more. Of course Du Qing is reluctant to let his little niece go to the fields to plant rice, but it is still okay to step on the fields.

Ruan Lin also nodded and signaled Ruan Jianguo and Ruan Jiaojiao to put it down and let her go for a while.

Ruan Jianguo had no choice but to put Ruan Jiaojiao down, but said: "Be careful when walking, don't fall."

"Dad, don't worry, I'm holding my sister, she won't fall." Ruan Jie said, holding Ruan Jiaojiao's little hand in front, pointing to a thorny plant on the edge of the ditch over there: "Sister , brother will take you to pick thorn pickles and eat them."

Acanthopanax is a plant with thorns all over its body. It usually grows on the roadside, on the edge of small ditches, and in the bushes. It is green when it first bears fruit and red when mature. It is about the size of a thumb and very sweet. An essential snack for rural children in this season.

However, some people say that this is food for snakes, and adults will tell children to pay attention to snakes and insects when they go to pick it.

When Ruan Jianguo heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Don't let your sister pick it, and don't eat it immediately after you pick it. Bring it back and wash it with water, and be careful with the mouth."

This thorn pickle is delicious, but because it has been crawled by snakes and insects, children eat it without scruples and do not know how to wash it. They usually just pick it and eat it, which often results in rotten corners of their mouths. Ruan Jianguo doesn't care if the corners of his mouth are rotten. But he couldn't bear to leave his little girl.

"Got it." Ruan Jie waved his hand helplessly, hearing these instructions made his ears tingle. With their brothers here, how could they let their sister take action.

"Remember to come back early to work." Seeing that his boy also followed, Wu Le also shouted.
