Chapter 66: Fear of Leeches (One update)

After participating in the drying of rice, Xiao Siqian took part in transplanting rice seedlings in the field.

He knew that there was manure in the field, but by this point in time, he had adjusted his mindset and didn't feel too burdened about it anymore.

Xiao Wanshan instructed Xiao Siqian saying, "Little Quan, since you don't know how to transplant seedlings, you can handle the process of extracting seedlings."

The so-called "extracting seedlings" refers to the process during transplanting wherein one or two threads are drawn from one end of the field to the other, straightly. After that, the transplanting begins one by one, along the thread. This method creates straighter and more visually pleasing seedlings, making future weeding and fertilizing easier.

Rural children are not very proficient in planting seedlings. Once the adults have drawn the lines, they instruct the children to transplant along these lines.
