After waking up from a nap, Deng Qingling cleaned up and started preparing dinner.
Because there was half a pumpkin left when making pumpkin rice cakes in the morning, Deng Qingling didn’t want to waste it, so she prepared to make pumpkin rice in the evening.
Peel the pumpkin, cut it into pieces, place it on a plate, and then steam it on the rice. After the rice and pumpkin are steamed, pour them together and add a little salt, oil, and chopped green onions. Use a rice spoon to stir them evenly, and the fragrant pumpkin rice is ready.
Deng Qingling didn't make any other dishes. There was only pumpkin rice and pumpkin rice cakes, and a pot of corn soup on the side.
It is simple yet delicious, healthy and tasty.
Even so, the children were very satisfied with the meal and said they wanted to eat more. They asked Deng Qingling to make pumpkin rice for two consecutive days.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
The leisurely days passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, it is spring plowing season again.
When planting corn, all six children followed me to the field.
(During holidays and school breaks.)
Liang Xueying and the others were digging holes, Guo Haochen and the others were planting corn seeds, and Guo Haoran and the other three kids were playing in the mud nearby.
When the rice seedlings were being planted, Liang Xueying did not go to the fields to work, but instead stayed at home to cook and take care of Guo Haoran and the other three monkeys.
Guo Haochen and his two siblings followed Deng Qingling and the others to the fields to plant rice.
That day, Deng Qingling and Guo Haochen were planting rice seedlings in the same rice field.
Guo Haochen and his two siblings were competing to see who could plant the rice faster.
Suddenly, Guo Ninghuan felt itchy on the back of his feet, as if there were small animals crawling on them.
She lifted her feet and saw a dark green unknown creature in front of her eyes. She was so frightened that she screamed in panic.
"Ah-------Mom-Mom--Hurry up and save me."
Guo Ninghuan was extremely frightened. She shook her feet desperately, trying to shake off the soft creature, but unfortunately the creature was not shaken off and continued to crawl up her calves.
Hearing Guo Ninghuan's frightened scream, Deng Qingling and the others ran over quickly.
In fact, Deng Qingling was also afraid of seeing the leech, but when she saw her daughter's frightened look, she suppressed her fear, reached out and grabbed the leech and threw it away.
The leech immediately disappeared from their sight.
Deng Qingling felt relieved when she saw that there were no bloody wounds on her daughter's feet and legs from leech bites.
Guo Haochen and Guo Haoxi, who were watching from the side, were also extremely scared.
This was their first time to plant rice in the fields, and they were scared.
Seeing the children's frightened expressions, Deng Qingling quickly comforted them, "Don't be afraid, the leech has been thrown away by Mom. Go drink some water and rest for a while. Mom will pick up the remaining corner."
"Yeah, yeah." Guo Ninghuan and the others responded and ran to the edge of the field.
After getting ashore, Guo Haochen, who was not so scared, looked at Guo Ninghuan worriedly and asked with concern: "Sister, are you okay?"
Guo Haoxi also looked at Guo Ninghuan worriedly.
Seeing his brothers’ worried looks, Guo Ninghuan forced a smile and said, “Don’t worry, big brother and second brother, I’m fine. The leech didn’t bite me.” It was the one that scared me when it crawled up.
Although Guo Ninghuan looked calm on the surface, she was actually still a little scared.
After all, she is the most sensible little girl.
How can I not be afraid!
Seeing that their sister said it was okay, Guo Haochen and Guo Haoxi stopped talking.
After all, the more you talk about it, the more afraid you will become. If you don’t talk about it or think about it, you will forget it.
Guo Haochen and his two siblings washed their hands and sat by the field to drink water and rest.
After resting for a while, Guo Ninghuan poured out half a cup of water. Holding the enamel teacup, she walked to the edge of the field in front of Deng Qingling and said loudly with a smile, "Mom, have a drink of water."
Deng Qingling straightened up after hearing what Guo Ninghuan said and replied, "I'll be there in a moment."
After saying that, Deng Qingling planted the seedlings in her hands, washed her hands in the field, and walked to the edge of the field.
Guo Ninghuan quickly handed over the teacup.
Deng Qingling smiled and took the teacup, saying, "My daughter is indeed considerate. Unlike those two brats who only know how to eat all day long."
Hearing Deng Qingling praising him and disparaging Guo Haochen and the others, Guo Ninghuan smiled sweetly, with shallow dimples on both sides of his cheeks. "Mom, my eldest and second brothers are also very capable."
Her brother is stronger than her and collects more grass for pigs than her.
Deng Qingling saw Guo Ning laughing and she really looked like her aunt Guo Yu!
I didn’t think so before, but now she looks more and more like her. No wonder people say that niece looks like her aunt. She is simply a smaller version of Guo Yu!
Deng Qingling: "Mom knows that you are all good children, and each of you is a little helper at home."
After saying that, Deng Qingling raised the teacup and drank some water, then said to Guo Ninghuan, "Let's go. Tell your brother to get the kettle, and we'll go to the paddy fields over there."
Deng Qingling said this and pointed in the direction of the stream.
They divided the paddy fields, and whoever finished planting first could go home first. This way, the work efficiency was much higher, and it was fast and good.
This way the division of labor is clear and no one will be lazy. After all, whoever's field is not planted well will be blamed.
Besides, if you finish the work earlier, you can go home and rest earlier.
Who doesn’t know how to do the math?
Deng Qingling was given an acre and two mu of land. She took her three children to plant rice seedlings and easily finished planting the acre and two mu of land in one day.
Together, they, mother and children, can earn a lot of work points a day.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
After this incident, when Guo Ninghuan and her colleagues went to the fields to plant rice seedlings, they would not just stare at the seedlings to see if they were planted evenly.
Instead, they would check their feet and legs from time to time to see if there were leeches or other aquatic creatures. This diverted their attention from the boring work and made them work much faster.
After getting off work and returning home, Guo Haoxi secretly told Liang Xueying that his sister was almost bitten by a leech today, and they were both very scared at the time.
After hearing this, Liang Xueying felt that her grandchildren had grown up and would help with the work before going home even if they were afraid.
Seeing the children working so hard, Liang Xueying specially killed a chicken and stewed it after lunch so that they could eat it when they returned home in the evening.
