After a busy day, he arrived home just before dinner.
Shang Zhuoming was catching insects in his little vegetable garden.
The small garden had rows of bok choy, green onions, coriander, and lettuce transplanted into it.
All of these seedlings were specially delivered by a vegetable farmer he knew from the countryside.
Not long ago, the auntie at home found occasional small holes in the bok choy leaves and only after a careful search did they discover that they were caused by small green caterpillars on the vegetables.
Most farmers would spray pesticides on the vegetables when encountering this situation. Of course, organic vegetables need to be handled in special ways, but for Shang Zhuoming's small garden, simply picking them off by hand was sufficient.
Thus, upon entering the small garden, one could hear the excitement of the little one's shouting from a distance.
Every time the auntie, wearing gloves, caught an insect, the little guy would scream in surprise.
