In natural science class, the teacher does not have many homework requirements, and it is a bit like an open question. Children can freely choose the plants they want to plant, or invite their parents to participate. However, they must write clearly what work they have done by themselves in the experimental report. Of course, the most important thing is that the experimental report of observation needs to be submitted once a week to let the teacher see their progress and perseverance!

"What do you want to plant?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.

Xixi was still very interested in this. When she got home, she didn't even bother to change her clothes. She wore her school uniform and ran around excitedly with her natural science textbook.

"I want to plant peach trees, dad. Our school has beautiful peach blossoms. Teacher Cen has taken us to see them." Teacher Cen, who Xixi said, is the subject teacher of her natural science course.

The little girl was excitedly approaching the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room, pointing to their yard and saying, "If our family also planted peach trees, it would be very beautiful!"

Yang Yi said with some amusement and cry: "Peach tree? Peach tree is not OK. If you plant a peach tree, it may take several years to see the results, so you will not be able to hand in the observation homework to the teacher."

Upon hearing this, Xixi retracted her little hand and said with a little distress: "That's it? Then, dad, what are we planting?"

Yang Yi carefully read the narrative in Xixi's natural science textbook and smiled and said, "You are talking about growing vegetables. Growing vegetables works very quickly, almost every day, but if not, there will be new changes every week. So you can choose some vegetables you like to grow."

Xixi raised her little head and looked at her father with all concentration. After saying that, she blinked and said, "Then let's plant apples! I also like apples!"

"Apples are not vegetables, they are fruits!" Murphy couldn't help laughing as he listened from the side, "I understand this, how can you mess up?"

"But, but apples are also vegetables! Sometimes daddy makes one dish!" Xixi felt that her mother's words were not authoritative enough, so she pouted and argued.

"Mom is right. Apples are fruits, not vegetables. Even if Dad makes them into dishes, isn't that dish also called fruit salad? It's not called vegetable salad, right?" Yang Yi smiled and patted Xixi on the shoulder and said.

The little girl thought about it and then reluctantly accepted what her father said.

Yang Yi also reflected on himself. Is it a bit too difficult for Xixi to choose just now that she doesn’t know much about the little girl at this age?

So, he thought about it and decided to narrow the selection for Xixi.

"Now Dad will give you a few choices. There are cabbage and celery. Their characteristics are that they can be cultivated directly with the rhizomes, or they can be grown carrots or carrots. These two are different from the previous ones. They need to use the head of the radish, which we don't usually eat. Of course, this also requires a certain degree of treatment." Yang Yi smiled and said to Xixi, "There are mung beans that can be produced in mung bean sprouts. The mung bean sprouts you like to eat very much. Potatoes can also be grown, which is different from the previous ones. If they grow, they can be planted directly with cut tubers."

The memories of some farming in the countryside made Yang Yi still have relatively rich agricultural knowledge, at least it was enough to deal with Xixi's homework!

Look, Yang Yi talked happily, and Xixi and Murphy next to him all had admiration expressions.

Murphy also sighed: "How do you know so much?"

"Dad, I have to plant it all." Xixi was very excited when she heard it. She took her father's hand and jumped up next to her. Her little face asked excitedly, "Dad, our family is so big, we all plant it all, okay?"

Murphy also said with interest: "Since you have planted it, then let's have more variety! I want to see it too!"

Yang Yi looked at Xixi's little head and eyes tilted, smiled, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, we grow one of each type. Given the ingredients we have at home today, celery and cabbage, we grow celery, white radish and carrots, and we grow carrots, okay?"

Xixi's little face suddenly became a little entangled. She pouted her little mouth slightly, twisted her body, and muttered unhappily: "But, dad, I prefer cabbage."

These days, my father asked her to eat celery several times. Although Xixi tried hard to eat it in order to make her teeth look better in the future, she still didn't like the taste of celery very much!

"Okay! We grow cabbage, and it looks better when planting cabbage." Yang Yi couldn't help but smile, "Today there is no root of cabbage at home, and tomorrow my dad will get one for you."

"Yeah, I want to grow cabbage, cabbage!" The little girl spread her arms happily.

...

Since she decided to make it, after dinner tonight, Xixi couldn't wait to follow her father and start preparing for the planting of vegetables.

"Come on, this is mung bean. You can use it to soak it in water first. It is the same as when you helped your father wash rice when cooking. However, you have to clean up the mung beans floating on the water." Yang Yi took a large glass basin of a usual fruit salad, poured three handfuls of mung beans into it, and handed it to Xixi.

"Well!" Xixi ran over diligently, carried the basin, ran to the sink, turned on the faucet and filled it with water.

Yang Yi stood behind the little girl, watched her reach her little hand in, and pulled it a few times.

"Okay, pick out the mung beans floating on the water and remember the steps you did today!" Yang Yi said with a smile, "Our experiment has begun, and you must record all these in your own experimental report!"

Xixi's little face became tense, and her little mouth that she was giggling just now also pursed. It can be seen that she became serious too.

I saw the little girl with a stern look, and carefully snatched out the mung beans floating on the water with her two little hands.

"Do you know why you have to fish out these floating on the water?" Yang Yi asked with a smile.

Xixi shook her little head in a daze.

"Please observe, what is the difference between those floating on the water and those still at the bottom of the water?" Yang Yi did not directly give the answer.

Xixi stopped the movements in her hand, and according to what her father said, he pinched two different mung beans, and looked closer to observe.

"This one seems empty!" Xixi looked back at her father in surprise.

"Yes, because these are the shells of mung beans. Before they were sold to us, they might have been damaged during the production process and left the shell. The reason they had to pick them out is because these mung bean shells that had no substance cannot produce mung bean sprouts!" Yang Yi patiently explained to the little girl at this time.
