Chapter 52: Xinbao is very good at growing vegetables

"Build a wall?" Brother Tang San didn't think there was anything wrong with his sister's idea. He squatted down and stared at the stick with his sister: "What kind of wall does Xinbao want? Wood or stone?"

Xinbao was stunned, and after thinking for a long time, he still felt that he was off topic, "I don't know."

Her eyes were full of innocence, and the two siblings looked at each other silently.

Brother Tang San scratched his head: "How about I build a fence for you?"

Xinbao nodded: "Okay."

Put up a fence at the door of the wing room? How can we go out? Climb through the window?

The second elder brother didn't want to care about what they were doing, but these two were too unreliable, so he could only come out and ask, "Xinbao built a wall, what do you want to do?"

Xinbao pointed inside and said, "Xinbao wants to grow vegetables in there."

The second brother said helplessly: "What's so fun about growing vegetables? Xinbao is not as good as... huh??"

As he looked away, he was suddenly stunned. Why did the lush green patch by the wall look a bit like mint? He walked around the tree trunk and took a closer look...it was really mint! Mint is a plant that doesn't grow tall or big, but this patch is obviously twice as tall as ordinary mint, and the leaves are much bigger!

A densely packed area!

This… this couldn’t be the one Xinbao planted? ? But it’s only been a few days!! The second brother pointed in surprise: “Xinbao, did you plant this?”

"Yes!" Naituanzi raised his chin and said proudly, "Xinbao is really good at growing vegetables."

The second brother glanced at his sister.

Then he said without hesitation: "Okay, let's grow some vegetables! Sanlang, go find some branches, just knee-high, and pull up some vines and weave them into a low fence."

Brother Tang San said "oh" and went out directly. There were branches and other things everywhere in the village on the mountain. After a while, he brought back a big bag.

Before he came back, the second brother had flattened the line drawn by Xinbao and drew a new one that was very neat and did not get in the way. Third brother Tang thought it was drawn by his sister, so he smiled and inserted the stick all the way in, then pulled the long vines to weave a fence.

The second brother picked a handful of smaller and inconspicuous mint and went out to exchange some seeds with the villagers he knew.

The common seeds in the village were cabbage, radish and leek seeds, nothing else. Although it was difficult to grow leeks at this time, he still asked for some.

This kind of small job was not a big deal for Brother Tang San. In the time he spent going back and forth, he had already finished weaving the small fence. The green leaves were still curled up, and it was beautiful and neat.

The little girl stared at it with sparkling eyes, "It looks great! It's amazing!"

"Isn't that awesome!" The third brother ran over, looked face to face with his sister, and smiled with his big white teeth.

Xinbao held his face with his chubby hands, pouted his lips, and kissed him.

The second brother frowned and said, "Xinbao is a girl, don't do this again!"

Xinbao looked at him with bright eyes and said in a childish voice, "Xinbao hasn't grown up yet!"

"That's right!" Brother Tang San said, "Brother Xinbaoer hasn't grown up yet!"

He liked his sister very much. He hugged her and kissed her soft and fine hair: "Xinbao, what else do you want? I will get it all for you."

"We need to turn the soil over," Xinbao pointed to the ground. "We need to turn the soil over."

This is the good thing about living in the countryside, it's all big mud fields, and I wish I could grow vegetables inside the house. Plus, no one has lived in this yard for several years, and the ground has not been compacted. My second brother took out a hoe, and in less than fifteen minutes, he turned the ground over and broke up all the clods of dirt.

The second brother gave her the seeds, and Xinbao went in.

The second brother looked at her without blinking.

But it looked like Naituanzi's chubby little hands had no skills at all. He just pressed the seeds into the mud as if he was playing. No matter the depth or the spacing between rows, it looked very casual and not particular at all.

Even the chive seeds were not even soaked, they were directly pressed into the soil.

This piece of land is about half an acre in size. Except for the mint patch, Xinbao finished planting the rest of the land in a short while. He clapped his hands and said, "Done!"

Brother Tang San immediately praised her: "Xinbaoer is so capable! How come my sister can do everything! She is worthy of being my sister..."

He carried his sister to the side and washed his hands: "Don't tire my dear after doing so much work. I'll take you out to play."

He didn't think at all that he was the one who had done the whole morning's work.

The second brother looked at the two people, took off the bamboo hairpin on his head, and carved the date on the wood next to him.

He wanted to see if this crop of vegetables could grow! How many days would it take to grow?

there,

Brother Tang San took his sister out of the door.

After walking for a short distance, Xinbao looked up at him.

She finally understood why the cub had to be carried when going out. It was not because he was squeamish, but because he was too short.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Brother Tang San was only twelve years old, but he was already very tall. When he led her hand and walked with her, he had to bend over and bend his legs, which looked tiring.

So, she quickly opened her hand and said, "Yes, hug me."

Brother Tang San opened his arms and picked her up, "Where do you want to go, Xinbao?"

Xinbao thought for a moment and said, "Go pick it up."

"Okay," Brother Tang San carried his sister and walked towards the village entrance. It was still very early, so the two of them played along the way. They did not stop when they reached the village entrance, but continued walking forward.

Xinbao smelled a very nice scent. She turned her little head to look around, and saw a huge osmanthus tree on the slope in front of her. The tree was full of golden flowers, which looked very spectacular from a distance.

Xinbao pointed and said, "Yes, osmanthus!"

"Yes," Brother Tang San smiled, "Xinbao is really smart. He even knows about osmanthus. That place is called Jingui Village because of this tree! I heard that this tree is more than a hundred years old. It was planted by a family when their daughter was born... Xinbao, do you want it?"

Xinbao nodded: "I want it."

So Brother Tang San took a few quick steps, put the girl down, climbed up the slope in a few steps, and reached out to pick the flowers.

The osmanthus flowers grew in clusters, and the petals were very small. Brother Tang San was clumsy and picked them very carefully.

Xinbao looked up.

The three-year-old baby had a big head and a small body. She was so focused on looking at her brother that she leaned back too much and fell backwards.

A big hand quickly supported her little head from behind.

Xinbao rested his little head on this big hand. He didn’t realize what was happening for a moment. He blinked his big eyes and saw a familiar face: “Dede!”

Brother Tang was so adorable by his sister's cute appearance that he couldn't scold her. He bent down and picked her up: "Little butt doesn't hurt? Stand up straight."

Xinbao was anxious.

She had just forgotten about this embarrassing incident! She argued loudly: "Xinbao has no butt!!"

Brother Tang: “…Puff!”

He turned his face away and laughed out loud. The third and fourth brothers also laughed so hard. While laughing, the eldest brother Tang suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched her little butt. Xinbao cried out like a little kitten. The eldest brother Tang was very naughty and deliberately asked her: "Xinbao, where does it hurt?"

The little girl held back two tears and shook her head firmly: "It doesn't hurt at all!!"
