With their rain boots on, the lively children could hardly wait to get down to the fields!
Parents at the side quickly pulled them back, saying, "Hey, hang on a second, listen to the director about the key points of rice planting!"
Fang Ye smiled and said, "When you're planting rice, remember to do it backwards, and squat down a bit, this way you can save some energy. Pay attention to keeping the distance between the rice plants at about 20 cm."
He stretched out his own palm to check, "Roughly about as wide as my two palms!"
Qian Keke took the lead, her eyes twinkling with excitement, and "haha," she laughed and charged into the water!
"Today I'm going to plant ten rows!"
Once they were in the field, the kids naturally divided up their own areas.
The youngest little ones, who had just started elementary school, stood at the edge of the field ridges, letting their parents hold their hands to slowly explore without toppling headfirst into the mud.
