Mom and dad quickly noticed Li You, Mu Qingye, and Ling Xiaoru.

Very pleasant surprise!

These two beautiful girls are here again.

They all rushed over to greet Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru.

Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru also had very sweet mouths. They shouted "Uncle" and "Auntie", which made their parents even more happy.

Afterwards, Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru were both ready to help pull the peanuts.

Mom and Dad can just let the two of us play here. Don’t hurt your tender hands.

But both of them said it was fine and they could do the job.

Then insist on helping.

Mom and dad could only express their gratitude again and again.

Li You ignored them. Instead, he picked a few peanuts and ate them by himself.

Although the peanut shells are covered with dirt, it doesn’t matter. Just be a little careful when peeling the shells and don’t let the dirt get on the peanut kernels.

After eating all the peanuts, Li You also took action.

There is strength in numbers, and after an hour, all the peanuts worth one dollar were gone.

Next, start picking peanuts.

Just take the peanuts back. Leave the peanut vines in the soil. Get them back after they are dried in the sun.

It will be much lighter after drying.

Let’s pick peanuts together.

It only took about half an hour to pick all the peanuts.

Then you can go home.

Dad brought a bunch of baskets before, and Li You also brought a bunch.

Then let two people choose a little each.

Back home.

After returning home, it was 11 a.m.

It's getting late, and there's another peanut field, so I'll go harvest it in the afternoon.

Mom is cooking at home.

Li You took Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru to their rice fields.

He had previously promised Mu Qingye to take her to see his rice fields.

Along the way, Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru were both in high spirits.

When we arrived at a place where rice fields were relatively concentrated, two big white birds suddenly flew out from the middle of a rice field and flew into the distance.

"Boss, what kind of bird is that?" Mu Qingye asked.

"Egret." Li You said, "The little egret among the egrets likes to live in the rice fields. There are many of them in the village."

Mu Qingye nodded, "It looks beautiful."

Li You said: "It is indeed beautiful!"

Not long after, we arrived at the rice fields of Li You's home.

Li You's family has two rice fields, and this is one of them.

"This is the field." Li You pointed at the rice field and said.

Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru were both watching.

The rice ears are still a little green. It should take about ten more days to harvest, right?

Li You nodded, "Absolutely."

After hearing this, Mu Qingye thought to herself, "That should be before school starts."

Mu Qingye really wanted to wait until Li You's family harvested the rice before going to school.

Now it seems that there should be no problem.

Very happy.

Then, Mu Qingye noticed that the water in Li You's field was relatively deep and there were a lot of duckweeds.

"Boss, are there any fish in this field?" Mu Qing asked.

Li You nodded, "There are some. Mainly crucian carp and carp. Because they are raised in rice fields, they are also called rice flower fish."

Mu Qingye's eyes lit up and he said: "I have heard the name 'rice flower fish'. However, I always thought it was the same species. Now it seems that I was wrong. It turns out that it is a fish raised in rice fields, so it is called rice fish."

Flower fish. No matter what kind of fish it is, as long as it is raised in rice fields, can it be called rice flower fish?"

Li You nodded, "Indeed. However, generally only three types of carp, crucian carp, and grass carp are raised. Mainly because the real rice fish never feed any food. Instead, they let the fish find things to eat in the fields. Each

Plant weeds, duckweed, pests, etc. These three types of fish are most suitable for this kind of farming method."

Mu Qingye nodded, "I understand. Boss, when do you usually catch rice fish? When harvesting rice?"

Li You said: "It's almost the same. After harvesting, you can catch them again in a few days."

Mu Qingye said happily: "Then when your family is harvesting rice, I want to come and catch fish. Is that okay?"

Li You said: "If you are not afraid of going to the fields and getting your clothes dirty, of course you can."

Mu Qingye said: "I didn't dare to go to the fields before because I was afraid that there would be leeches and other things in the fields. However, I am not so afraid now. As for dirty clothes, I am not afraid of that. After they are dirty, just wash them."
p>

Li You smiled and said: "There are indeed leeches in the fields. However, generally speaking, they will not be bitten. So there is no need to be afraid. There are also people who specially catch leeches to sell them. Because leeches are a precious traditional Chinese medicine."

Mu Qingye nodded, "I think I've heard of this."

Then, he said to Ling Xiaoru: "Sister Xiaoru, how about you come along when the time comes and we go fishing together?"

Ling Xiaoru nodded, "Okay. I had this idea too."

Mu Qingye was very happy.

Afterwards, the three people walked around the rice field.

Next I went back.

After returning home, my mother was still busy in the kitchen.

Li You walked into the kitchen to help. He found that his mother had too many dishes to prepare.

There are cooking dishes, stir-frying dishes, ducks, fish, braised chicken that Li You brought back, and vegetarian dishes.

There are only five people in total, how can we eat so much?

Li You quickly told her mother to stop cooking the rest. Save the ingredients for the evening, or cook them tomorrow.

But my mother said that the two girls had finally come here and they must eat well.

Li You said that the dishes that have been cooked are good enough. It would be a waste to cook too much.

After much talk, my mother finally agreed not to do it.

Then it’s time to eat.

At the dinner table, both Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru said that there were too many dishes.

Li You said that if he hadn't stopped him, there would have been at least three more dishes.

Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru both said to their mother, Auntie, you are too polite. If you are so polite, we will be embarrassed to come again next time.

My mother said that this is not much. Don’t be polite if you want two people to eat more.

Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru both said that they would not be polite.

After eating slowly, rest for a while, wait for the sun to get smaller, and then set off to another peanut field.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun hid behind the clouds.

Then we set off to another peanut field.

After arriving at the peanut field, I still pulled up the peanut vines first, then picked the peanuts, and finally took only the peanuts back.

After everything was settled, I returned home at 6:30 pm.

Li You originally planned to go back to the hotel for dinner.

But both parents left Mu Qingye and Ling Xiaoru to have dinner before leaving.

It was hard to refuse such hospitality, so both of them said to Li You, how about they have dinner before leaving?

Of course Li You has no objection.

Mom wanted to make more dishes. But Li You said that there were some dishes left at noon. She would just cook fresh vegetarian dishes in the evening.

It can't be wasted.

In the end, my mother agreed with Li You.
Chapter completed!
