Dad: I will farm and raise children after quitting the circle

Chapter 304 Digging for Earthworms

Nanling Town has formed a certain scale of planting. In addition to lychee and longan, there is also banana.

When Su Qinghe was young, almost every household in the village planted bananas. Now he has contracted to build a greenhouse in the old well field. Before it was abandoned and sweet potatoes were planted, it was a banana forest.

When Su Qinghe was a child, he often went to the banana forest with Su Fu, Su Quan, Su Haiyan and others to build houses with banana stalks and leaves.

It's just that no one would have thought back then that Su Qinghe really built a modern shed on the old well site that was more prestigious than a house.

Later, as the labor force went out, the town sought industrial transformation. Due to various factors, the economic benefits of planting bananas have declined. Banana fields that used to be everywhere, now, only a little bit of land next to Su Xiaoting’s house remains in Shuangtang Village. There are also banana trees that can be counted with two hands.

The place where Su Xiaoting dug earthworms was in this banana field.

Earthworms feed on decaying organisms in the soil. They can be seen everywhere in rural areas, but the land is owned by others. People grow vegetables and trees. It is impossible to dig earthworms wherever they want.

For a long time, no matter when Su Qinghe was a child or now, children usually choose to dig earthworms in banana fields.It's only tossing in the banana field, no adults will say anything when they see it.

Of course, today is different. Now everyone doesn't farm much, and there are not many children in the village. Su Xiaoting wants to go wherever she wants, and everyone just smiles and doesn't care when they see it.

After all, there is no need to dig the land for a living, and it doesn't hurt to see forty acres of land with long grass.

When passing by the door of the house, Su Xiaoting ran in, taking a small bucket and a hoe.

"What are you going to do with the hoe?" Su Meng was sitting on the porch holding the mobile phone to read the information, but when he saw Su Xiaoting coming in, he stopped looking at the mobile phone, and watched the little girl pick up the hoe after taking the small bucket with gentle eyes. , like a hardworking bee.

"Go dig the yellow dog, Uncle Qinghe will take us to the big pond for fishing!" Su Xiaoting walked out of the house with a hoe and a small bucket without looking back.

Su Meng stood up, put away his mobile phone and followed Su Xiaoting out, and saw the well-dressed children waiting outside, as well as the old lady and the little boy holding big hands.

Seeing Su Meng, the boy immediately showed his neat and white baby teeth, "Uncle Jiujiu~咕咕咕~"

Su Meng smiled awkwardly and greeted the old lady, skipping over to the boy, this little guy really can do some brilliant work that makes his eyes go dark every time.

However, on the day when he first met Guaiguai, did he toast the elders? It turned out to be good, and he left the impression that he loves to drink. It was fine to entertain him with beer in the morning, but now he also arranged for "Uncle Jiujiu" "The appellation.

He had to sigh, the first impression is really important!

When they got down to the banana field, Su Xiaoting chose a place beside the banana head, and pulled the banana leaves on the ground aside, exposing the damp soil underneath.

The six children next to me were all born and raised in the city, well-clothed and well-fed, and they are too young to understand the sufferings of the world. When they see Su Xiaoting, they are about to wave a hoe, and they swarm over. They look forward to seeing the scene of digging earthworms more than anyone else. , I also thought that I could see the earthworms unearthed for the first time.

"Go away, I will hit you!" Su Xiaoting stopped, the new friends were too close to her.

The children didn't refute, they stepped back obediently, and didn't stop until Su Xiaoting said it was okay.

The old lady took the lead and looked at this scene with a smile on her face. She was used to it, not to mention the children who grew up in the city, even the children who grew up in the countryside. It was the first time for them to work in the fields. so.

Su Xiaoting is used to doing farm work. In the early years, her boss ate a meal and her west ate a meal. She often offered to help others with work, and hoeing was one of them.

The small figure wields a long hoe, and his movements are very agile. Every time the hoe goes down, a thick layer of soil will definitely be turned up.

After a while, she stopped and called the children to go over.

"There are a lot of earthworms here, come and catch them quickly." When the little girl talked to these friends, she also called out the scientific name of the earthworms.

The children immediately gathered around, and on the exposed new mud, six or seven earthworms as thick as pinkies wriggled crookedly. You don't need to look too carefully to see that the earthworms seem to be slippery and sticky.

Su Xiaoting ignored them. She dropped the hoe and broke the clods with her hands. There were also earthworms in the clumps of soil. When she saw one, she grabbed one and threw it into the small bucket.

"Sister Xiaoting, aren't you afraid?" Little friend Huang Shishi asked curiously as she watched Su Xiaoting's movements.

Su Xiaoting put the small bucket in front of Huang Shishi, and said: "There is nothing to be afraid of. Earthworms don't bite people. If you look at it, you can't tell which side is the head and which side is the tail. There are no feet or claws yet!"

Huang Shishi took courage, put her head close to the mouth of the barrel, stared at it with wide eyes, and found that it was really what Su Xiaoting said.

But it just looks a little nasty.

This was the first time in her life that she was so close to observe this soft long worm.

Next to her, the children watched for a while, and finally reached out to grab it, and instead of putting it in the bucket, they held it in front of them for closer observation.They also heard what Su Xiaoting said just now, and now they want to see if they can tell which side is the head and which side is the tail.

Blinking her big eyes obediently, she struggled to get rid of the old lady's hand, ran up to join Huang Shishi, and squatted down to look at the earthworms in the small bucket.

"Sister~what is it~" the little guy asked in a childish voice.

"earthworm!"

"Jiu drink~?" Obediently tilted her head and looked at Huang Shishi who answered her, she didn't know what was going on in her head, she suddenly giggled, reached into the bucket, grabbed it and stirred it, and when she took it out, her fingers were already pinched An earthworm.

Huang Shishi was so frightened that she sat down on the dirt. Although she said she was not afraid, it was only for observation.It is different now that the earthworm is held in the hands of the obediently. Compared with the obediently small hands, the earthworm appears to be particularly large.

Moreover, the earthworm was still shaking in Kuaiguai's hands, she was so worried that Kuaiguai would miss it and throw the earthworm on her body.

Obediently at this time, she didn't have the mood to talk to Huang Shishi, she sat down, turned around and looked at the old lady, raised her hand holding the earthworm and stretched it forward, shaking it triumphantly, and shouted happily: "Zu~jiu drink~"

The old lady came over, squatted in front of Guaiguai, and habitually praised: "Guaiguai is so good, you can catch a yellow dog!"

Obediently jumped up and down a few times, the earthworm in her hand was thrown up and down by her, she didn't take credit for it, she turned her head and pointed at Su Xiaoting who was still breaking up the mud, and said, "It's my sister~catch~"

"Did my sister catch it?" The old lady had a smile on her old face, teasing Xiaoguai, "Do you want to catch a yellow dog?"

Kuaiguai didn't answer, because she saw Su Xiaoting grabbed another earthworm from the mud.

The little guy hurriedly stood up, pouted his buttocks, and was about to walk towards Su Xiaoting, but suddenly stopped after taking two steps.

When I looked down, my hands were empty, and there were no earthworms there.
