The children nodded, seemingly understanding but not fully.
Qingqing’s eyes sparkled with anticipation, and she said excitedly, "I can’t wait to see the spinach we’ve planted! They must have grown big and green!"
"Of course!"
Weiwei blinked her big eyes and eagerly chimed in, "They must be amazing, better than we imagined!"
Yang Yuxi nodded with a smile, gently encouraging, "Children, don’t worry, your spinach will definitely grow very well with your careful care. Look, we’re almost there now."
Saying this, Yang Yuxi led the children to their class’s planting area.
Upon seeing the lush green spinach, full of vitality and exuding a fresh fragrance, the children’s faces broke into proud smiles.
"Wow, Miss Yang was absolutely right, the spinach we planted with our own hands really has grown big and tall!"
"Yeah, last time we saw them, they were just tiny little plants. We haven’t seen them for days, and now they’re so tall, it’s really amazing..."
"Look at this spinach, it’s so green and still has dewdrops on it! It looks so fresh! It would be super tasty to make something delicious with it!"
"Spinach, spinach, you are awesome, growing so well. We’ll turn you into something yummy soon, thank you so much!"
"..."
The children chattered excitedly, their excitement overflowing.
Qingqing gazed at the lush spinach field, a hint of confusion in her eyes, and she raised her head to ask in a childish voice, "Teacher, we didn’t bring any tools to pick the spinach, how should we pick them?"
The other children chimed in, "Yeah, how do we pick them without tools? Plus, we’ve never picked spinach before, we don’t know how..."
"Don’t worry, children, I’ve thought of everything for you." Yang Yuxi smiled gently and took out a pack of rubber gloves from a bag nearby, shaking them lightly, "Look, these are gloves. Put them on, and we can pull out the spinach directly. When pulling, gently hold the base of the spinach and then gently lift it, and it will obediently leave the soil. Remember, we should treat these spinach like friends, don’t hurt them."
The children replied in unison, "Okay, teacher, we will be very careful!"
"Very good, next I will personally show everyone how to pick spinach." Yang Yuxi said with a smile, then she put on gloves, gracefully bent down, wrapped her fingers lightly around the base of a spinach, and gave it a gentle pull, and the spinach came out of the soil intact.
She looked at the children with a smile, encouragement in her eyes, "See, isn’t it simple? Have you all learned it?"
"Learned it."
The children nodded eagerly, ready to try.
Yang Yuxi handed half of the gloves to Xie Jianing standing nearby and said, "Miss Xie, let’s distribute these gloves to the children so they can also experience the fun of picking."
"Okay!"
Xie Jianing gladly took the gloves and, in harmony with Yang Yuxi, handed them out to the children’s eager little hands one by one.
The children couldn’t wait to put on the gloves, transforming into little farmers.
"Digging in the big garden, digging, digging, digging spinach to decorate the food stall..."
Xie Jianing began to sing playfully, leading the children into the spinach field, weaving among the green spinach, and instructed the children to stand in their assigned areas to start their picking adventure.
Many of the children bent over picking spinach while humming along, "Digging in the big garden, digging, digging, digging spinach to decorate the food stall..."
Qingqing didn’t hum along but instead focused as she approached a large spinach, carefully reaching out to hold the green base, afraid of hurting this "little guest."
With a clear "Look, I got one"...
She excitedly held up the spinach in her hand, showing her achievement to Weiwei beside her.
Not to be outdone, Weiwei carefully selected the sturdiest spinach, mimicking Qingqing’s actions, and firmly grasped the base, and with a tug, successfully harvested her "trophy."
She laughed happily and said to Qingqing, "Sister, look at the spinach I picked, isn’t it big?"
Liu Ruihan raised the spinach in his hand high, excitedly joining in, "Hehe, I got one too. Let’s have a competition to see who picks the biggest and most spinach!"
"Okay!"
The children responded enthusiastically.
And so, a lively picking competition began amidst the laughter and cheers.
This wave of happiness quickly spread, deeply infecting the children from other classes who witnessed the scene, prompting them to voluntarily organize picking competitions in their own classes, determined to engage in a unique competition in this "green arena," vying for the glory of the "largest harvest."
Suddenly, the garden became bustling with activity, filled with children’s cheers of "Mine is the biggest" and the ringing laughter sounding like silver bells.
Of course.
They were not merely satisfied with pursuing the largest fruits and vegetables; they yearned for a bountiful harvest.
Therefore.
Their little hands turned into diligent little bees, tirelessly moving across the vast field, clumsy yet full of determination as they weaved through the area.
