After discussing a few issues, the two teachers' eyes lit up.

Teacher Xiao Jing even directly held Aunt Wu's hand and said, "Aunt, there is nothing wrong with the vegetables you grow. Can you bring some to school?"

"Okay, okay, teacher, do you want 10 kilograms or 20 kilograms? Let me see if the vegetables in my field are enough."

Aunt Wu replied generously, "It's grown at home. It's not valuable. You can take as much as you want. I can't eat it all."

Xiao Zhao was admiring the photos of the vegetable garden on Aunt Wu's phone. Hearing this, he slipped and said, "These are not valuable? The vegetables you grow in your garden are good enough to apply for a thesis project."

Aunt Wu herself was quite shocked. "During the two years when the school was closed, I applied for a small piece of land from the school, and the students gave me the seeds with the teacher's consent."

"At first I only grew coriander because students said the coriander in the school's spicy hot pot was too expensive."

"We grow it ourselves, so we can eat it with confidence. Whoever wants to eat it can just go pick it from the field."

"I've planted more in the past two years, including tomatoes and lettuce. I also transplanted a few fruit trees that I had planted in my hometown."

"I'm retired now, and I've left the vegetable garden to the school. I also grow some at home. I don't have any hobbies, but I like to tinker with the vegetable garden."

Aunt Wu calculated very seriously: "There are 20 people in the class, including the teacher and the principal. At least one should be given to each person."

"Aunt Wu, I mean just bring one or two here for sample display, no... no need for so many."

Aunt Wu's aggressiveness shocked the couple.

I originally wanted to ask if I could leave some seeds for them this year, but now I’m afraid that the simple Aunt Wu will just dig up the seedlings from the ground.

……

The 10-minute free time has arrived, and the uncles and aunts are gathering in the direction of Lin Qinglan and the others.

While visiting the greenhouse, the uncles and aunts picked one or two cucumbers and tomatoes out of curiosity and ate them all, reminiscing about the fragrant vegetables.

Since it is an outdoor class, there must be an explanation session.

Teachers Xiao Zhao and Xiao Jing took the uncles and aunts to explain each field one by one.

"This patch is full of lettuces. Let's take a closer look at the differences between these lettuces."

"The lettuce with large broad leaves closest to us is called romaine lettuce. You can take a closer look. Watch your step and stay safe."

The uncles and aunts squatted by the field and observed curiously.

Aunt Li carefully fiddled with the leaves. "It seems to be different from the lettuce we usually see."

"That's right, what did the teacher say it was called just now?" Uncle Zhao echoed.

"Romaine, please pay attention in class."

"What horse?"

"Romaine, if you can't hear clearly, I'll ask my son to buy you a hearing aid." Aunt Li couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed Uncle Zhao's ear.

Lin Qinglan, who was following behind, suddenly remembered that Uncle Zhao and Aunt Li’s son had said that they should try not to let the old couple take the same course.

He was afraid that the two of them would fight, so he asked him to go to school to see the teacher.

Now it seems that this worry is not unnecessary.

But the old couple both liked the planting class, and since both were concerned, their son had no choice but to bear the pressure and sign them up for both.

"Let's continue with romaine lettuce. This variety of lettuce has a lighter flavor and is suitable for salads."

"Going further ahead, these are the most familiar loose-leaf lettuces we see the most. They look like fans."

"In addition to green leaves, its leaves also come in red and purple."

"There are many ways to eat it, such as sandwiching it in egg-filled pancakes, wrapping barbecue, or eating it raw."

When the teacher is giving a lecture, of course there will be some dishonest students talking nonsense below.

For example, the well-known "restless student" Mr. Wang.

There was no table during the outdoor class and he couldn't sleep.

He started chatting with the old man next to him.

"are you hungry?"

The old man obviously noticed that the teacher was still looking at them. He didn't want to answer, so he closed his mouth and made a response sound from his throat.

After receiving the response, Uncle Wang started talking: "Aren't we taking a planting class? Why does the teacher keep talking about how to eat? I'm so hungry."

"Principal Lin said that we don't know what will be in the lunch when we go back after lunch."

"Why are you ignoring me?"

The old man pulled his sleeve out of Uncle Wang's hand, looked forward, and then looked back.

The teacher in front was looking at them intently, and Lin Qinglan was holding up her cell phone to take pictures behind them.

He winked at Uncle Wang frantically, trying to make him see that there was a wolf in front and a tiger behind.

If Uncle Wang could understand other people's eyes, he wouldn't have made Mr. Yu, the physics teacher, so angry and crazy.

At this moment, Uncle Wang looked up and his phone was facing Lin Qinglan's.

"Uncle Wang, listen to the class carefully." Lin Qinglan lowered her voice and pointed at the teacher.

Uncle Wang suddenly remembered the promise he made before entering the shed that he would take a good lesson in planting and then take over Xiao Wang's vegetable garden.

He also asked Lin Qinglan to take a video for him and send it to his son Xiao Wang to prove that he was studying very hard.

Uncle Wang stood there awkwardly, looking at his son who was eagerly waiting and him who was slacking off, and turned around stiffly.

Xiao Zhao nodded with satisfaction: "Let's continue talking about ball-shaped lettuce."

"This one looks like a flower bud. Its scientific name is cream lettuce. It can also be called butter lettuce."

Uncle Zhao pointed at the butter lettuce and showed it to Aunt Li. "It really does look like a flower. I'll go to the supermarket and buy one for you tomorrow."

Aunt Li rolled her eyes at him with disdain: "Buy one and cook two dishes."

Aunt Wu, who was studying hard, squatted on the ground and wrote quickly, trying to remember what the teacher said.

The aunt next to her waved her phone at her and said, "Just record it with your phone. You can listen to it as many times as you want when you get home."

"That's a good idea!" Aunt Wu took out her cell phone to record and used a notebook to fan herself.

From lettuce to spinach to broccoli, the morning class is over.

The uncles and aunts came to the villagers' homes to eat farm meals.

In recent years, some young people in Xiao Zhao's village have opened picking gardens and developed several farm stays.

However, most of the older generation still rely on the traditional sales channels of greenhouses.

Everyone is comparing which business method is better.

There were three large round tables in the farm house, and the host enthusiastically served washed fruits and vegetables.

"Eat first, the food will be served soon."

The uncles and aunts sat down and discussed the lessons they had taught this morning while eating the fruits and vegetables on the table.

"According to the method the teacher taught, it is also possible to grow vegetables on the balcony. I will go back and try it today."

"I know the method, but whatever I raise dies. For decades, I have not been able to raise anything except my children. I am a little scared."

"What are you afraid of? I must be using the wrong method. If you have any questions, just call me via video. I know how to do it via video, right?"

"Yes, I didn't learn anything else in school, but I learned a lot about using my cell phone."
