Chapter 169: Transplanting Rice (1)

Sweet and fragrant milk candy.

It tastes so good.

Ruan Jiaojiao squinted her eyes because of the sweetness. She looked so happy and 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 couldn't bear to eat it. He secretly hid it in his pocket and planned to save it for her. Then he thought about hunting more prey tonight and earning more money so that he could buy her a lot of milk candy.

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

----

The beginning of May is the rice planting season.

The students are on vacation. There are many people in the Ruan family. Although they have separated, they all work together when transplanting rice. After finishing the work of the first family, they will go to the second family. This is not only fast but also efficient.

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

Ruan Lin got up early in the morning and cooked meals for the whole family. After everyone had eaten, they went to the fields to plant rice seedlings together.

Ruan Jiaojiao was carried in Ruan Jianguo's arms and walked. She lay on his shoulders all the way, curiously looking here and there, in a very good mood.

Several older brothers who were in junior high school walked in front, holding things in their hands, and the brothers who were in elementary school were chasing and playing behind them with a smile. Occasionally, they stepped on someone else's field and soiled their clothes, but no one cared, just smiled and greeted.

The fields were full of laughter.

When they were about to reach their own land, Ruan Jiaojiao twisted in Ruan Jianguo's arms, and Ruan Jianguo looked at her.

"Dad, I can walk by myself."

Ruan Jianguo frowned and looked at the muddy ridges below. He didn't want to let the sweet and soft little girl go down, as if stepping on her would make her dirty.

Du Qing was laughing behind him: "Brother, it's okay. Let Jiaojiao go down and walk. Stepping on the mud can get rid of the disease."

This is what the older generation said. The child has always been sick and weak. Many times it is because he has not worked in the fields to make a living. It would be better if he worked in the fields more. Du Qing certainly didn't want his little niece to go to the fields to plant rice, but it was okay for her to step on the ground.

Ruan Lin also nodded, indicating Ruan Jianguo to let Ruan Jiaojiao go down and let her walk by herself for a while.

Ruan Jianguo had no choice but to put Ruan Jiaojiao down, but he told her: "Walk carefully, don't fall."

"Dad, don't worry, I'm holding my sister, she won't fall." Ruan Jie said, holding Ruan Jiaojiao's hand in front, pointing to a thorny plant beside the ditch and said: "Sister, brother will take you to pick thorny bubbles to eat." Thorny

bubbles are a plant with thorns all over the body. They usually grow on the roadside, the edge of the ditch, and the bushes. They are green when they are just ripe, and red when they are ripe. They are about the size of a thumb and very sweet. They are an indispensable snack for rural children every season.

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

When Ruan Jianguo heard this, he immediately frowned and said, "Don't let your sister pick them. Even if she picks them, don't eat them right away. Bring them back and wash them with water, or

they will burn your mouth." The prickly ash is delicious, but because it has been crawled by snakes and insects, children eat it without scruples and don't wash it. They usually pick it and eat it, which often burns the corners of their mouths. Ruan Jianguo doesn't care if the boy's mouth gets burned, but he can't bear to let the little girl.

"Got it." Ruan Jie waved his hands helplessly. These instructions made his ears ring. With their brothers around, how could they let their sister do it.

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