The sounds of insects surrounded the vegetable garden, while the voices of people nearby were muffled and indistinct.
Chu Yi'an looked into his eyes, which were clear and transparent, and the probing within them was also clearly visible.
Jian Yue's eyes weren't the fierce kind; rather, they were round and looked easy to mess with. So he always squinted slightly to make himself look a bit fierce, and no one noticed for so many years. Sometimes when he opened his eyes, people always thought he was just shocked by something he had seen.
Upon first glance at those long-unseen round eyes, Chu Yi'an smiled.
Jian Yue breathed a sigh of relief. He really didn't dare to mess with this younger brother who had designs on him, lest he be driven to desperation and do something to him.
Chu Yi'an turned around, not intending to ask any further questions.
After playing with the seedlings with Chaochao for Gu Wancheng lost interest and squatted down to watch the people turning over the soil.
She picked up the bottled water next to her, opened it, stood up to catch her breath, and walked over to him. "Have some water."
Bo Yizhou took it casually, drank half the bottle in one gulp, and then handed it to him.
Before he could speak, Chaochao ran over, holding a bottle of mineral water. "Dad, open this for me."
[ Chaochao, you're the brightest light bulb!]
Gu Wancheng took the water, twisted it, and handed it to Chaochao. Chaochao drank it eagerly after receiving it, almost choking. Gu Wancheng quickly patted his back.
"Don't drink so fast next time."
"But that's how Father drinks it," Chaochao tilted her head.
"You're still young, drinking so fast will make you choke, just like you did just now, it's very uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Chaochao frowned, "Oh, that seems so."
Bo Yizhou was very fast; even if he did the work of two people, he was no slower than the others.
After resting for a while, Gu Wancheng felt her back was less uncomfortable, so she picked up her tools and went to work. Bo Yizhou wanted to stop her, but Gu Wancheng held onto her tools tightly and refused to let go, her face full of determination.
Left with no other option, he had to draw a line for him.
The little ones got bored and took their little hoes to dig up wild chives, something Chu Yi'an had told them about.
"These chives are huge!" Chaochao's eyes lit up, and she excitedly called her friends over.
"Wow! It really is!" Tongtong glanced at the malnourished chives in her hand and threw them away.
After they dug those few out, they continued searching for nutrient-rich chives.
The children only picked the large stalks of chives, rejecting any that were malnourished or baby chives. Before long, the basket that Chen Liqing had kindly provided was full.
Chaochao frowned, reached out her little hand and pressed down, continuing to stuff it inside.
" Chaochao!" Upon hearing Gu Wancheng's call, Chaochao Chao immediately looked up. Gu Wancheng was standing on the ground after turning over the soil, waving at him.
"We're going to plant vegetable seedlings!" Chaochao said excitedly.
Zuozuo's eyes lit up. She stuffed the chives she had just dug into her basket, clapped her hands, and said, "Let's go over there quickly."
The other kids nodded.
Brother Li smiled broadly as he saw the children approaching; they were such adorable kids, just like the New Year's dolls pasted on the door.
"Hello, Uncle Li!" The children stood in front of him, looking up as they greeted him.
"Hello to you all too." -Brother Li
" Uncle Li, let's plant some vegetable seedlings," Chaochao said.
Brother Li nodded and asked them to bring over the seedlings so he could teach them how to plant them.
The seedlings are garland chrysanthemum, transplanted from Brother Li's vegetable garden, which also belongs to Brother Li.
Brother Li patiently taught the children how to plant the plants and how far apart they should be. The children listened attentively beside him, nodding occasionally.
Gu Wancheng smiled when she saw this; so cute.
After Brother Li demonstrated it once, they watched as the others operated it themselves.
At first, the group didn't have a clear division of labor, and they were all huddled together in a chaotic mess, almost bumping into each other and falling flat on their faces.
They eventually discovered the problem, divided the work, and their movements became faster and they no longer bumped into each other.
The children, planting vegetables for the first time, were so excited their faces were flushed, and their eyes sparkled.
"Dad, Father, look at the vegetable seedlings I planted." Chaochao turned around, holding a vegetable seedling and a small hoe in her hand.
Click--
Gu Wancheng pressed the shutter to capture the moment, and then made a heart shape with her hands towards Chaochao.
Chaochao was so excited that she struck a few more poses, Gu Wancheng took pictures of them one by one with a smile in her eyes.
[So sweet! I hope Chengcheng will be sensible and hand over all the photos!]
[ Chengcheng, quickly post this on Weibo!]
After the initial excitement wore off, seeing how many seedless children were still missing, he was filled with despair.
Of course, the parents wouldn't let their kids finish planting this half-acre of land. Seeing that they were tired, they took the tools from their hands and started planting vegetables themselves.
"I'm so tired!" Zuozuo groaned, lying on Jian Yue's lap.
Jian Yue patted him on the back and held the water to his lips.
Zuozuo up straight, held the water bottle, and carefully took a sip.
" Mi Tu, are you tired?" Xu Xiashi hugged her daughter and wiped her sweat.
Wen Qifeng placed her small water bottle to her lips, and Mi Tu took a big gulp through the straw, exclaiming, "So tiring! The farmers work so hard!"
"Yes, so Mi Tu must never waste food in the future."
"Yes, yes, I won't waste it." Mi Tu nodded vigorously.
Chu Yi'an rummaged in his pocket but found nothing. Then he remembered he had already given away the handkerchief, so he spread his hands at Tongtong, "That's all."
Tongtong pouted; she had already seen where the handkerchief had gone.
Chu Yi'an thought for a moment, then waved to the side.
Xiaoxiao sat on the stool, startled, then walked over and asked, " Brother Chu, is something the matter?"
" Xiaoxiao, do you have any tissues?" Chu Yi'an asked.
"Yes." Xiaoxiao took out a small pack of tissues from her pocket and handed it to Chu Yi'an.
He took the tissue, pulled out one, and returned the rest, saying, "Thank you for the tissues, Xiaoxiao."
"Thank you, Xiaoxiao," Tongtong said, wiping her sweat.
Xiaoxiao and nodded.
Gu Wancheng nudged the waist of the person next to her. Bo Yizhou frowned, took the half-empty bottle of water, unscrewed it, pulled Chaochao's chubby little hands in front of him, and began to wash his hands.
"Daddy, I'm sleepy." After doing so much work, the stars in Chaochao's eyes dimmed, and she nestled in Gu Wancheng's arms.
"Then let's go back to sleep." After saying that, Gu Wancheng tried to pick up Chaochao, but almost strained her back.
"That chubby little thing," Gu Wancheng thought, grimacing.
Bo Yizhou reached out and took the chubby little boy from him, holding him with one arm and gently pressing his waist with the other.
[I love watching Duoxiu.]
[It turns out that Chaochao is a truly honest and straightforward person.]
[How presumptuous of you all, Chaochao is definitely voluptuous!]
The vegetables had been planted, and after tidying up the place, the group returned to the villa. Since it was still early, they ate a simple lunch, washed the child, and put him on the bed.
Gu Wancheng was taking a shower when someone suddenly squeezed in and insisted on showering with her.
It almost escalated into a dangerous situation.
