Chapter 272 Little Clay Figure
Aunt Wu did not come with them, so they made dinner and breakfast yesterday with the children here.
These children have good self-care abilities when they are in the orphanage, and they have learned how to wash clothes and cook.
The people of the Si family have also learned these since childhood, but they rarely cook on weekdays. However, that doesn’t mean they don’t know how to cook.
Miao Jiu leaned against the kitchen door frame, watching the people busy in the kitchen.
"Xiaojiu, please help take this out." Si Ning handed him the plate in his hand.
"Okay." Miao Jiu took it with both hands and placed it in the living room.
Juanjuan and Si Jinchen couldn't help in the kitchen, so they helped pick flowers.
The chicks were so full that they lay on the ground unwilling to get up. From time to time, they would peck at the insects next to them.
After breakfast, the housekeeper, Si Ning, Miao Jiu, Si Tian and Siming were going back to the city.
By the way, let them take Song Songruanruan and Ji Zaizi back.
Old Madam Si took the two little ones to the farmland outside the city and started planting rice today.
They drove through the wasteland outside the city and saw familiar people.
"Grandma, it's Brother Huzi." Juanjuan said, pointing to the people working in the wasteland outside the window.
The driver stopped the car. Madam Si and Si Jinchen looked outside together and actually saw Hu Zi chopping down trees with an axe.
"Do you want to go down and take a look?" She looked at the two children with a smile.
"Yes." The two children said in unison.
Mrs. Si looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so if she stayed here for a while, she would still have time to plant rice seedlings.
She got out of the car with her two children and asked someone to park it farther away.
Today they were all wearing coarse linen clothes because they were going to work in the fields.
"Brother Hu Zi." Si Jinchen called out to him.
Hu Zi swung the axe and chopped down, but before he pulled it out, he heard someone calling him. He looked up and saw three people standing not far away.
He smiled and ran over quickly: "Old Madam, Young Master, Young Lady, why are you here?"
"We were going to plant rice seedlings and happened to see you when we passed by." Old Madam Si saw several people looking at them with worry in their eyes.
"Are they your family?"
Hu Zi turned his head and looked behind him, waving at them to indicate that everything was fine.
He turned back and looked at Madam Si: "Yes, although I was sold, I still have contact with my family. Jiu Ye is willing to pay for them to come and open up the wasteland, and they are very happy."
Old Madam Si looked at the other people. Although they were tired and sweating, they had smiles on their faces. For them, they could make money every day here.
It's better than going to the city to try their luck. Once they save enough money, they can renovate their own house.
This makes them happier than anything else, so everyone works very hard.
"Madam, please wait for me. I'll tell them and go with you." Hu Zi remembered something and said immediately.
"No need. It's a rare opportunity to spend time with my family. Just spend time with them today and go back in the evening!" Mrs. Si said as she pulled the two little ones to leave.
"Goodbye, Brother Huzi." The two little guys waved goodbye to him.
Hu Zi smiled with a simple look on his face, waved at them, picked up his axe and went to chop trees again.
Jiang Ze and his colleagues had been busy in the fields early, hoping to do more work while the sun was not too hot.
Madam Si and her family haven't come since they sent the vanishing cream. This time, when they saw the people working in the fields, they obviously found that their skin condition had improved a lot.
It is much whiter than before and the skin doesn’t look so rough anymore. Although it is still very tanned, it looks healthy.
"Madam, Young Master, and Young Miss." Jiang Ze saw smiles on the faces of the three of them.
"Brother Jiang Ze, you've become whiter too." Juanjuan tilted her head and looked at him.
Jiang Ze smiled and nodded: "Yes! This vanishing cream and the powder for applying on the face are really good. I keep records here every day, and no one feels uncomfortable."
"In that case, we should be able to sell it in the store." Mrs. Si was very happy.
"Well, I think there should be no problem. I'll let you take the record book back later." Jiang Ze said with a smile.
Erya saw them coming and waved at them: "Juanjuan, Jinchen."
Gou Zi and the others also waved at them. Their hands were covered in mud, and they wore straw hats on their heads and smiled brightly.
"Let's get to work first. We can deal with anything else after we finish the spring plowing." Mrs. Si said with a smile.
"Okay." Jiang Ze followed them carrying a basket of seedlings.
Old Madam Si found another piece of land where no one had started planting rice yet, took off her shoes and socks at the edge of the field, and rolled up her trouser legs.
The two little guys followed suit and put their shoes and socks neatly on the edge of the field.
Jiang Ze helped Juanjuan roll up his trouser legs, while others only rolled up their trouser legs a little above their calves.
The rolled-up trouser legs were rolled up to her thighs.
Madam Si took out the seedlings from the basket and walked over to the two children: "This is the seedling. We will plant it in the mud later."
"Hold the seedling in your left hand and divide it with your right hand, three to five plants at a time, pinching the roots between your thumb and index finger."
"Insert it vertically two to three centimeters." She was afraid that the two children didn't understand, so she used her hands to measure the approximate depth.
Si Jinchen and Juanjuan listened very carefully and studied hard by the edge of the field.
First learn how to separate the seedlings, and when you have no problem with it, learn how to pinch the seedlings.
Madam Si smiled and nodded. "Another point is that when planting seedlings, each row should be 30 centimeters apart, and each plant should be 15 to 20 centimeters apart."
"Grandma, why?" Juanjuan looked up at her.
"To make them grow better." Old Madam Si explained to her patiently.
Liu Yueya arrived a little late, and when she arrived it was Jiang Ze who taught her.
But she learned quickly and had already taken off her shoes and socks and rolled up her trouser legs, ready to go to the fields with them.
Madam Si looked at the three children and said, "I will separate you into rows first, and then you can follow my distance and plant the rice seedlings."
As she spoke, she had already gone down to the field, stepped on the soft mud, and planted a horizontal row of seedlings.
"Okay, come down!"
Si Jinchen pulled Juanjuan with one hand and let her go down first.
As a result, after rolling it down, her little feet got stuck in the mud. She tried to pull it out for a long time but couldn't.
She used all her strength to pull one foot out, but before she could put her foot down, she fell into the mud.
Instead, Si Jinchen and Liu Yueya, who had just come out of the ground, were splashed with mud all over their heads and faces.
"Ptah, pah, pah!" The two children stretched out their sleeves to wipe the mud off the corners of their mouths.
Juanjuan fell into the mud. Now her little face was all earthy yellow, with only a pair of big eyes left looking at the few people helplessly.
Madam Si and the others laughed so hard that they could hardly straighten their backs. They had already turned into little clay figures before the rice seedlings were even planted.
