After returning to the countryside to farm, I brought the whole village to become rich

Chapter 207 Digging Shepherd's Purse

Lin Hongxi first greeted the parents from the city, and then stood in the yard of the village committee with a loudspeaker and shouted, "Be quiet, everyone, and listen to me."

The scene suddenly quieted down.

Lin Hongxi has been the village head for more than ten years. She has a good way of speaking and doing things, and she is not timid in front of so many urban people.

He coughed lightly and continued, "First of all, let us warmly welcome the students of Class [-], Grade [-], Chinese School to go to Qinghe Village for a spring outing, to visit and learn, and to experience life."

Shen Qiuqiu took the lead in applauding, and there was a burst of warm applause at the scene.

Then, Lin Hongxi briefly introduced the situation in Qinghe Village, and then gathered the children from both sides together and asked them to introduce themselves briefly.

Even so, the children in the village are still a little cautious and can't let go; they all look like quails, keeping their heads down and not talking, far less lively and cheerful than the children from the city.

Next, Lin Hongxi announced the content and rules of today's event.

The content of the activity is very simple. Children from the city and children from the countryside, in two groups, go up the mountain to dig shepherd's purse together.

Finally, rank according to the results and distribute rewards.

This was Shen Qiuqiu's idea.

Letting the children from both sides work together to participate in the competition not only increases the fun of the activity, but also mobilizes the enthusiasm of the children, and also allows the children on both sides to get along more harmoniously.

One side supports the other side. Rural children and urban children are very different in personality and other aspects because of their different living environments.

But the children on both sides have more or less certain character defects.

Rural children take on the responsibilities of the family prematurely, experience all kinds of hardships and difficulties in life at a young age, and easily develop sensitive, inferior, and cowardly personalities;

On the other hand, urban children have lived in honeypots since they were young. They have a strong sense of superiority, are pure in mind, have never suffered setbacks, and do not even know what suffering in the world is.

They seem to be different, but they still have a consensus. They can learn from each other, influence each other, and maybe even become good friends.

Such an activity will be more meaningful than simply donating and receiving gifts.

In this regard, Song Guangqin also quite agrees, and also persuaded the parents of the same company.

After announcing the rules of the event, Song Guangqin and others moved the previously purchased materials out of the car.

Football, basketball, Barbie dolls, plush dolls, books, drawing books, sneakers, sportswear, princess dresses and more.

It's rich, and it's something the little ones will love.

The rewards were placed in the center of the yard one by one, and the children's eyes lit up instantly.

Even Li Jinbao, who was somewhat reluctant before, became excited, "Wow, football! It's actually football! How much shepherd's purse does it take to get football?"

A few little girls also whispered together.

"That dress is so pretty!"

"I love that Barbie doll!"

Chen Jing stared at the pair of sneakers without blinking. If she could get those sneakers, grandma wouldn't have to spend money to buy new shoes for herself.

The little girl clenched her fists and was immediately full of energy.

The children in the city originally came to play and experience life. When they heard that there was going to be a competition, they became competitive and eager to try.

Shen Qiuqiu took out the note written in advance and asked the children to draw lots.

Two people who draw the same number form a team.

There are 12 children in the city and 15 children in the village.

Due to the unequal number of people, there are three groups in a team of three, but the final score is calculated according to the team average, so it does not affect it.

The groups were quickly divided.

The children take groups as units and stand together in twos and threes.

Zhang Qiuyu was drawn to be in the group with Li Jinbao, but the little girl was not able to be in the group with Chen Jing as she wished, she pouted and looked unhappy.

She silently walked to Chen Jing's side, took her arm and said, "Sister, I'll follow you later, okay?"

We only met last weekend, Chen Jing naturally also remembered Zhang Qiuyu, she had a good impression of this round-faced and kind-hearted little girl, she smiled shyly, and replied, "Okay."

Seeing this, Li Jinbao also came over, "Why don't the four of us go together."

The other three expressed no objection, and the two groups successfully formed an alliance.

Fearing that the children would run away, the place to dig the shepherd's purse was designated, which was in the depression south of the foot of Laodong Mountain.

There are lush vegetation, no streams and lakes, and there is no danger of children playing in the water.

The children in the village went home with small shovels and bamboo baskets, and a group of them headed for the foot of Laodong Mountain.

Although there was no danger in the village and there were older local children with them, the parents in the city were still a little worried and sent two tall and strong male parents to follow.

The rest of the parents were not idle either.

The big kitchen of the village committee was open, and everyone was busy kneading noodles and mincing meat.

After a while, the children picked the shepherd's purse, and everyone made dumplings with shepherd's purse and pork.

Song Guangqin patted Shen Qiuqiu's hand and said with a smile, "You're still thoughtful."

The flour and pork were brought by Shen Qiuqiu from home, they were not worth much money, and it was a little bit of my own effort.

After making arrangements here, Shen Qiuqiu and Song Guangqin greeted each other and went to the strawberry field.

Li Mao and the others are still waiting there, good friends come all the way, they can't just leave him there.

……

In the col at the foot of Laodong Mountain.

The children from the city were running and playing on the grass like wild horses running wild.

Relatively speaking, rural children are more reliable. Chen Jing, Li Jinbao and others have already started digging shepherd's purse with small shovels.

Driven by them, the children in the city were embarrassed to play any more, and actively participated in digging shepherd's purse.

It's just that most of the children in the city have never seen shepherd's purse, and they don't know how to find it, so they humbly ask their partners for advice.

The rural children are very friendly. Although they are not good at words, they patiently teach them how to identify and dig shepherd's purse. The children on both sides gradually get along well.

On the hillside not far away, a ten-year-old child was sitting there herding sheep.

It was Yang Chunsheng in the village who was only thinking about herding sheep.

Seeing her, Zhang Qiuyu asked Chen Jing curiously, "Sister Jingjing, why doesn't he come to dig wild vegetables with us?"

Chen Jing glanced at Yang Chunsheng, said with a smile, "His name is Dachun, and he is a sheep herding boy in our village. He only thinks about herding sheep."

Zhang Qiuyu asked with a puzzled face, "Is herding sheep fun?"

Chen Jing shook her head, with a wry smile on her face, "herding sheep is not fun at all. He herds sheep to make money, build a big house, and live a good life."

Throwing the shepherd's purse she just dug into the bamboo basket, Chen Jing couldn't help sighing, and whispered, "I also want to make money, build a big house, and live a good life."

Zhang Qiuyu blinked, nodded half understanding, and didn't ask any more questions.
