Shen Laosan was helping Yang Shi clear the dishes, and Lili was also very sensible in helping her mother pick up two pairs of chopsticks.
Because her hands are too small, Lili can only grab two pairs at a time.
"It's really inconvenient for kids," Lili muttered to herself.
I really miss the days when I could stride around with my long legs.
Shen Jiahao and Shen Jialu wanted to go find Lili, but Liu pulled them into the house: "Hey, hurry up, you two grown men are dawdling!"
"mother!"
Shen Jiahao and Shen Jialu were pulled inside by Liu Shi, one on each side. The two brothers were caught off guard and didn't even have time to struggle before the door was closed.
Lili felt strange, and the next second she heard Old Lady Shen calling her.
"Li Bao," Old Mrs. Shen beckoned to Li Li, "Come here, come to Grandma."
Lili blinked, instinctively knowing that Grandma was going to talk about things in the fields.
Lili had originally planned to help her mother wash the dishes, but when she heard Old Lady Shen calling her, she had no choice but to put down her chopsticks and run over.
Shen Laosan saw this and pursed his lips.
Yang noticed and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Shen Laosan snapped out of his daze, took the bowls that Yang had stacked up, put them in the basin, and chuckled, "It's nothing, it's just that our Li Bao... is a bit too amazing."
"Um?"
Yang was puzzled.
When Shen Jialuo saw that his sister was about to be called over for a spanking, he mustered all his strength and rushed over, hanging on Old Lady Shen's lap.
"Grandma, Grandma, please don't hit my sister, hit me instead, hit my bottom!"
The little boy was quite robust at that age, and Shen Jialuo, despite his small size, had a lot of energy. Old Mrs. Shen's old bones were almost broken by the impact.
Old Mrs. Shen listened to Shen Jialuo's incoherent ramblings and had no idea what he was talking about.
It took a lot of effort to pull Shen Jialuo off her lap.
"What are you doing?" Old Mrs. Shen asked in confusion. "Move aside, don't block my way from talking to your sister."
Shen Jialuo grabbed Old Lady Shen's hand and wouldn't let go: "Ahhh, no, Grandma, don't hit my sister!"
Lili was laughing so hard she almost died. She covered her mouth and laughed for a long time before pulling her silly brother away.
"Li Bao, don't stop me! We agreed that your brother would take responsibility for you!"
Old Mrs. Shen's face darkened, while Lili suppressed a laugh and grabbed Shen Jialuo's waving little fist: "It's okay, how about you go help Mommy wash the dishes, okay?"
Shen Jialu hesitated: "No, I have to cover your butt!"
Old Mrs. Shen couldn't help but say, "What do you mean by 'butt'? Who said I was going to spank your sister's bottom? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll spank your bottom until it's bruised and battered!"
"Huh?" Shen Jialuo shuddered and instinctively covered his bottom. "Really, really, you won't hit your sister?"
Old Mrs. Shen's face darkened, and Lili quickly smiled and pushed Shen Jialuo out, saying, "Go on, buddy, Mommy's looking for you!"
Shen Jialuo left, clutching her buttocks and looking back every few steps.
"That little rascal," Old Mrs. Shen sighed.
Old Mrs. Shen took Lili back to her room, where Old Mr. Shen was sitting on a stool drinking tea.
Old Mrs. Shen put the little dumpling on the bed, but didn't rush to speak. She first carefully examined Lili for a while.
Lili didn't rush to ask, and just sat obediently, letting Old Lady Shen look her over.
The little dumpling has been eating all sorts of things lately. Not to mention three meals a day, she eats her fill at every meal, and the elders in the family often give her snacks.
As the saying goes, it takes two years to lose weight, but only two weeks to gain it.
Pear has gained quite a bit of weight in the last two weeks.
Looking at the increasingly adorable little dumpling, Old Lady Shen noticed that his once thin face had gained some weight, which was exactly how a child should look.
Old Mrs. Shen smiled with satisfaction, then a hint of hesitation appeared on her face: "Li Bao, Grandma knows you know a lot, so I won't beat around the bush. Tell Grandma the truth, did you scatter those beans in the field?"
Old Mrs. Shen looked extremely serious, as if she were asking a question not about a two-year-old child, but about an adult.
Old Man Shen also put down his cup and listened attentively.
The two of them stared intently at the little dumpling, eager to know the answer.
But both of them knew that no one but Lili would ever do something like this.
Li Bao felt inexplicably guilty. How should she explain this?
To say she was just playing around and accidentally spilled it on the ground?
Obviously, neither Mrs. Shen nor Old Man Shen would believe it.
Let's just give up and let things go, since the Shen family has already decided that she's a lucky charm.
Little Lucky Star, so what if he knows a little about agronomy? It's perfectly normal.
So Lili nodded very calmly.
Seeing Lili nod, even though Old Mrs. Shen and Old Man Shen had already prepared themselves, they still couldn't help but gasp.
Lili blinked, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "What's wrong?"
What's wrong?
Something terrible has happened!
What good deeds did the Shen family do in their past lives to have such a lucky star?
This afternoon, Village Chief Ma came to the Shen family's house. As soon as he came in, he asked them what kind of secret fertilizer they had used, because the rice in their fields was almost twice as thick as that of other families!
This puzzled the Shen family. They had been farming according to their past experience, so what secret fertilizer could they have?
The Shen family thought Village Chief Ma was joking, but when they went to the field, they found that what Village Chief Ma said was actually true!
It's strange, everyone farms in the same way, and the rice is watered by the same rain.
How come your rice grows so well?
Regardless of what the future holds, it certainly looks quite robust right now!
The rice stalks are almost too big to stand on!
Old Mrs. Shen went down to the field herself and found that the ground was covered with rotten soybeans.
The soybeans were almost completely buried in the soil; you wouldn't notice them unless you squatted down and looked closely.
Old Mrs. Shen immediately remembered that a few days ago, Lili kept dragging Shen Jialuo out, and they would run around for most of the day. When they came back, they were so tired that they could eat three bowls of rice.
The children's reaction when Village Chief Ma came today made Old Lady Shen involuntarily think of Lili.
Considering Shen Jialuo's behavior just now, Old Lady Shen had already guessed that this was probably Lili's idea.
Actually, using soybeans as fertilizer is not unusual, because every household uses leftover food or kitchen waste as fertilizer, which naturally includes soybeans.
But the field is full of soybeans, so it's obvious that soybeans were specifically used as fertilizer.
They had never seen soybeans used as fertilizer on their own. At most, they would mix the leftover soybean scraps with other vegetables and use them as fertilizer.
Do these soybeans have some special medicinal properties?
Otherwise, why would Lili go out of her way to do this?
Yes, Lili must have her reasons for doing this!
Old Mrs. Shen and Old Mr. Shen exchanged a glance, their eyes shining as they stared at Lili.
