The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

On a sunny afternoon, Zhou Sisi, with her short legs, led her students to Xiaomao Mountain to collect folk songs.

"Where is spring, where is spring?

Spring is in the green mountains and forests.

Here are red flowers, here are green grass,

And the little oriole that can sing."

They sang as they made their way up the mountain, with Master Xu Wu following at the end. After much persuasion from Zhou Sisi, Xu Wu finally agreed to combine the afternoon painting class with the physical education class. This way, everyone could play outdoors for a while longer.

The villagers of Yangliu Village have been feeling a bit jealous lately because they often see these students carrying their small sketchpads, singing and painting on Xiaomao Mountain. And they often spend the entire afternoon painting.

Isn’t it just a piece of peach blossoms? Do I need to paint it every day?

Yes, that patch of pink peach blossoms is pretty, but I wouldn't have to paint it every day! But imagine if you or your children could have that kind of experience... I can't bear to think about it. Then, looking at them, I feel so sour. They're so blessed.

If the villagers of Yangliu Village could chat with the parents of Qingshangou, they would be even more jealous!

Because those parents will proudly tell you that their children run to the mountains every day, but what they draw every day is really different.

Today they paint peach blossoms, tomorrow they paint distant mountains, and the day after tomorrow they paint fences. Even the chicks and piglets that come out of the fences become subjects of their paintings. Wow! Their paintings are so much better than mine!

Moreover, they not only painted, but the young teacher also taught them a line or two of poetry from time to time.

They didn't know who wrote the poem, they just knew it sounded pretty good! Listen, it started again today.

"Two yellow orioles sing in the green willows, a flock of egrets soars across the blue sky. The window holds the eternal snow of the Western Hills, the door is moored with ships from Eastern Wu that have traveled thousands of miles."

The April flowers on earth have faded, and the peach blossoms at the mountain temple are now in full bloom. I long for spring, but I cannot find where it has returned, for I never knew it had turned into this place.

Green covers the mountains and white fills the river; the rain is like smoke amid the cuckoo's call. In the countryside in April, there are few idle people; after finishing silkworm rearing, they start planting in the fields.

Today, the children in the advanced class came to class. Zhou Sisi led them to recite three poems in one breath, and they were all quite appropriate to the occasion.

Although Erbao was not good at drawing, he was quick to react. He pointed at the peach blossoms in the distance and said, "I want to draw 'The peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.'"

Chen Nan, who was standing by, also jumped in and said, "Then I'll paint 'Two Yellow Orioles Singing in the Green Willows'."

Dabao was not to be outdone and followed suit, saying, "Then I'll paint 'A Line of Egrets Flying into the Blue Sky.'"

Suotou replied calmly, "Then I'll paint 'Few Idle People in the Countryside in April'."

It turned out that this was the homework Zhou Sisi assigned to them. They had to pick out a line from these three poems and draw it based on actual situations.

Nearly a month has passed since the saplings were planted. The potatoes that should be planted at home have been planted, and all kinds of bean seeds have also been planted. Her mother also planted some peanuts and sesame seeds.

Jujube and hawthorn saplings were also planted on the slopes, and seeds of her favorite tomatoes and chili peppers were also planted in the greenhouse.

The weather was good and the temperature was suitable, so Zhou Sisi wanted to go out, so she brought everyone to Xiaomao Mountain.

Zhou Sisi watched them chattering away, a gratified smile on her face. The ancients were truly talented, able to conjure up beautiful images through poetry.

When she was reciting these poems as a child, she was thinking about reciting them quickly so her daddy could buy her some chips after she finished! Oh my god, I can’t think about that. It makes me drool and affects my image as a teacher. Stop it!

Zhou Sisi came back to her senses and noticed Xiao Hehua standing silently by the side, obviously still thinking.

She walked over and asked softly, "Lotus, have you decided which line to draw?"

Lotus nodded to her sister and said softly, "I want to paint 'Green all over the mountains and white all over the river, the rain is like smoke amidst the cuckoo's cry', but... I don't know how to paint it."

Zhou Sisi thought for a moment and tried to organize his words in a way that Little Lotus could understand: "These two sentences roughly mean that a small river flows through the green mountains, the grass and trees on the hillsides and fields are lush, the water in the rice fields and the sky complement each other, the drizzle is like smoke and fog, and Zigui is another name for the cuckoo, and the cuckoo is calling loudly.

The scenery described by the author is that the hillside is covered with green, the water in the rice fields is illuminated by white light, and a drizzle falls like smoke amid the calls of cuckoos.

Consider the scenery around us now, and imagine what it would look like in the drizzle. And how would you depict it with a brush?"

Little Lotus thought about it carefully, smiled happily, and then picked up the paintbrush and began to paint seriously.

Today's class ended successfully amid the children's laughter and joy. Not only did they learn to paint beautiful scenes, but they also gained a deeper understanding of the poems, and they all wanted to learn them back home and share them with their families.

Zhou Sisi was secretly happy in the back. This was exactly the effect she wanted. Go home and show it off!

Unlike Zhou Sisi's smooth teaching, Zhou Dajiang and his wife are now in a state of panic.

Because they found that the peach trees were infested with aphids.

Chen Xiuying only knows that she needs to spray pesticides to deal with aphids, but now she has neither pesticides nor equipment for spraying pesticides. What should she do?

In my impulsiveness, I only thought that I could bag the fruits to prevent insects after they were fruiting, but now they haven't borne fruit yet! Two people with no farming experience are involved in agriculture, which is really a disaster!

So, for the next two days, the two of them stayed in the room reading books, drawing pictures, and looking for solutions.

Finally, one day, Chen Xiuying said to her husband, "I think I've got an idea for a medicine to treat aphids. What do you think? Can you help me with the spraying equipment?"

Zhou Dajiang shook his head, then gritted his teeth and said, "Even if there are no conditions, we must create them and solve it!"

"So where are you now? Let me see if I can help you."

"Hose and rubber. I've figured out the spray nozzle, the water pump, and how to suck the water out. Now all I need is the hose and rubber."

Chen Xiuying also scratched her head, "These two things are indeed difficult to solve.

Rubber, I remember that rubber trees in our country are grown in Hainan and Guangxi, but we don’t have them here.”

"Yes, that's exactly what I'm worried about. I'm thinking of using something to replace it. I originally wanted to use wood, but wood isn't flexible and isn't wear-resistant. It leaks easily over time, and the sealing isn't good either. It would be great if there was something to replace it."

Chen Xiuying covered her head and carefully recalled the books she had read. After a long moment, she looked at Zhou Dajiang with bright eyes and said, "Maybe there really is a glue that can replace it."

"Tell me quickly, what kind of glue is it?" Zhou Dajiang was so worried that he felt depressed. Suddenly, he heard his wife say that there was something that could be used as a substitute. He was immediately saved, just like a fish that jumped onto the shore and found water!
