One day, Ying Zheng woke up early and had just finished practicing Tai Chi when Meng Fan dragged him to work in the sweet potato field.
Although more than half of the sweet potatoes on the original one mu of land had been destroyed by Ying Zheng's Ferghana Horses, there were still some left.
Plus Meng Fan replanted it.
They all needed to be taken care of.
With Ying Zheng and Wang Jian as free labor, it would be a waste if Meng Fan didn't use them.
Anyway, Old Zhao wanted to lose weight, so there was no harm in increasing his exercise.
After watering the sweet potatoes, Ying Zheng frowned and walked over to Meng Fan.""Little friend, why are these sweet potatoes starting to wither? Go and take a look."
From the weight loss stage, Meng Fan had handed over the sweet potato field to Ying Zheng to manage.
After taking care of the sweet potatoes for so long, Ying Zheng was already familiar with them. As soon as the leaves and branches of the sweet potatoes changed, he could immediately sense it.
The sweet potatoes today were obviously not right. Even though they had been watered and fertilized, they were still listless and looked like they were about to sprout.
These sweet potatoes could fill the stomachs of the people in the world and stop worrying about food.
How could Ying Zheng not take it seriously?
He even suspected that Meng Fan was telling the truth when he said he could produce four to five thousand catties per mu.
Hearing Ying Zheng's question, Meng Fan smiled.""Old Zhao, don't worry. This is the characteristic of sweet potatoes.”
As he spoke, he brought Ying Zheng to a sweet potato, dragged its leaves and explained,""The edible part of the sweet potato is the root, which is the part buried under the ground. The branches and leaves above the ground are beginning to wither, which means that the root below is about to mature.”
" This is a normal phenomenon," Meng Fan continued." When the stems and leaves are all withered, the sweet potatoes can be harvested."”
After hearing Meng Fan's explanation, Ying Zheng heaved a sigh of relief.
"I see. I was worried for a long time because of this.”
Meng Fan smiled as he returned to the path and waved at the two.""Let's go. Serves you right to go home after you're done. Those kids still have to come to class later.”
In order to better guide the selected children, Meng Fan added a class on top of the original curriculum to give these children a special lesson.
"Alright!" Wang Jian patted the soil on his hands and said impatiently," This old man hasn't seen those few brats for a few days too. I miss them quite a bit.”
Glancing at him, Meng Fan warned,""Don't think about what happened last time. After Fat Tiger returned home with an injury, his mother came to ask me what I was doing, causing me to explain myself.”
Wang Jian smiled awkwardly." Heh heh, don't worry, don't worry. It was just a moment of carelessness last time."”
"Besides, what's wrong with a little injury?”Wang Jian said righteously," When this old man was his age, did I not suffer many injuries?”
"Tsk, go ahead and brag." Meng Fan didn't bother explaining to him and headed straight home.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the door, they found that there were already children waiting outside.
"Fat Tiger? You guys are here so early?" Meng Fan was surprised. It wasn't the appointed time yet.
He remembered when he was in school, but he would go to school as late as possible. It was good to be able to play outside for a minute.
As expected of the children I chose. They all look so eager to learn!
Meng Fan praised himself inwardly.
After a few days, the little fat tiger had already taken off the cloth on its head, and the wound had already healed. It would be fine once the scar fell off.
"Sir, we came after we finished helping the family. We didn't dare to let you wait too long.”Fat Tiger took the lead and bowed to the three of them.
Touching his forehead, Meng Fan pushed open the door.""Good children, go in."
After assigning the venue, Meng Fan and Wang Jian began their respective lessons.
"Are you familiar with the laws of Qin that Sir asked you to read last time?”Meng Fan stood in front of the children from the literature class and asked.
Hearing his question, the children nodded and replied,"It's cooked!"
"Alright, then let's start with Ah Mao. I'll recite the contents of the Qin Law that you learned last time.”Meng Fan called out.
This was his usual teaching style.
The things they learned this time would be asked to be written down or memorized next time to check if the children had reviewed them when they returned home. At the same time, it would also consolidate the knowledge they had learned.
The children also knew Meng Fan would check before class started.
Thus, Ah Mao, whose name was called, stood up and methodically recited the portion of Qin Law that he had mastered last time.
On the other side, Wang Jian saw Meng Fan checking the knowledge the students had learned last time. He was also learning well.
He pulled out two horses from the stable and said to the three children in front of him,"This old man will check if you have forgotten how to ride a horse.”
"Come on, Fat Tiger and Tie Dan go first!”After saying that, he carried Fat Tiger on the back of the horse, then turned around and carried Tie Dan 'er up as well.
For such a small child, riding a horse with the help of a harness was not a problem.
However, it was still somewhat difficult to get on the horse alone.
Therefore, the job of mounting the horse could only be done by Wang Jian.
With the saddle and stirrups, Fat Tiger and Bruiser sat very steadily on the horses. Bruiser even wanted to test it out,"Elder Wang, the courtyard is too small. Can you bring us out for a few laps?”
"Hey! You brat, you haven't even learned how to walk and you're already learning how to run?”Wang Jian scolded with a smile.
