Chapter 36.5
Ji Ningyi did not quite understand either. His knowledge of these vegetables was limited to books: “I don’t know either, but Panpan should know more about the types of these vegetables than we do.”
He noticed that when Zhu Pan mentioned these types of vegetables just now, she said them without even thinking about them. This is a very familiar attitude.
Ji Zhile puffed up his cheeks and muttered, “That’s not it…”
Panpan doesn’t like him and always contradicts him, so he doesn’t believe it.
Ji Zhile continued to patrol the vegetable field. He would stop and look at any vegetables he saw. He thought it was more interesting than swinging. Suddenly he said, “Brother, let’s water these vegetables, or they will be thirsty.”
Ji Ningyi thought about it: “Then, we have to find a bucket first.”
Ji Zhile said: “I know, I saw the bucket just now!”
He ran to the other side and the two children followed behind him. There was only one bucket next to the faucet. After receiving half of the bucket of water, Ji Zhile volunteered: “I’ll carry the bucket!”
“No!” Zhu Pan’s tone was very serious, “You can just play by the side, I’ll carry the water.”
In Ji Zhile’s eyes, this is a very fresh and fun game. He is also very stubborn: “The bucket I found is mine!”
Zhu Pan sneered: “You can’t afford to ask us for help later.”
Ji Zhile could not take it anymore: “I won’t!”
He lifted the handle of the bucket with both hands. When he exerted force, the bucket only moved slightly, but was not lifted up. Ji Zhile refused to admit defeat and exerted all his strength, but it only made the bucket move only a little bit. Ji Zhile blushed slightly, looking at the two older children than him. Zhu Pan sneered unabashedly on his little face, Ji Zhile puffed up his cheeks fiercely.
“I’ll carry it with you.” Ji Ningyi walked up to him and held the handle together with him.
Under the strength of the two children, the bucket finally left the ground and set off toward the vegetable field.
Ji Zhile whispered, “Brother is the best.”
The bucket was brought over, but there were only two water ladles. Ji Zhile turned his eyes, ran into the kitchen, and took out a basin. He said, “Let’s water together!”
Zhu Pan said, “Don’t move, water can easily get on your body.”
Being stopped by repeated rebuttals, Ji Zhile was really upset: “I won’t pour it on my body, the water I brought over, the basin I found, I want to water it!”
Zhu Pan said: “Then, it’s up to you, don’t cry when your clothes get wet.”
Ji Zhile almost jumped: “I won’t cry!”
He is three and a half years old, so he doesn’t cry like a child when something happens!
Ji Zhile first watered the ‘winter melon’ vines and said, “Winter melons grow quickly, so I can eat you all when I come to Grandma’s house next time.”
After finishing speaking, he immediately covered his mouth again and said to Ji Ningyi: “Brother, when the winter melon hears me say this, will it be afraid and not grow up?”
Ji Ningyi was very patient: “No.”
“First of all, it’s not a winter melon but a cucumber, and secondly, it can’t hear us. It’s so childish.” Zhu Pan watered the cabbage seedlings on the ground. She is very experienced in doing this, unlike the other two children who would only pour all the water in the scoop. She shook her hand and some of the water in the ladle spilled out, glistening in the sun, evenly falling on the vegetable seedlings on the ground.
Originally, Ji Zhile was quite envious of her skill and wanted to learn it, but when he heard her words, he suddenly became unhappy: “The teacher said that every plant has life.”
“Then you’re going to eat them all, aren’t you killing them?”
“Huh?” Ji Zhile opened his small mouth. He had never thought of this before and suddenly felt a little sad. He looked at Ji Ningyi: “Is that so, Brother?”
Ji Ningyi was also asked for a while: “No, it’s just…”
It’s just that he can’t say it, but he won’t have the problem of killing their lives after eating vegetables like Ji Zhile, so it’s hard to explain.
Ji Zhile was very sad and scooped up water with a basin to water the next vegetable plant. Now, his mouth was tightly closed. He did not say anything about growing up quickly. After a bucket of water, they went to pick up a second bucket of water. This time Ji Zhile very cleverly took only a little and he staggered to the edge of the vegetable field.
In the end, he turned his head triumphantly: “I can carry water.”
Just as he finished speaking, his foot slipped, and with a snap, he fell and brought down the bucket at the same time.
Splash– All the water poured on Ji Zhile’s body.
Ji Zhile was stunned and blinked.
Ji Ningyi ran over: “Get up.”
Ji Zhile held his brother’s hand and stood up, looking down at his clothes and pants.
New clothes, new pants…
“I even told you not to carry the water, but you insist on carrying it, do you deserve it if you fell down now?” Zhu Pan’s voice came.
Ji Zhile’s eyes were red, he was just careless.
“You’re going to cry again. Are you going to sue?”
Ji Zhile’s tears rolled in his eyes, but he remembered what he had said, he would not cry, so he forcibly endured it.
He looked up at his brother, who was very worried about him: “I’ll take you back to change clothes.”
His eyes moved to Zhu Pan’s side. Zhu Pan was still standing with a water ladle in his hand, looking at him like that, as if she had expected that he would fall and cry.
Ji Zhile did not want to cry at first, but a feeling of grievance rushed to his heart, and the tears fell down without paying attention. He reached out to wipe them off vigorously and ran towards the villa.
