Chapter 3320 Sowing Ceremony
Six days of hard work have finally come to an end, and the "Firefly Farm" at Little Red Horse Academy is beginning to take shape.
The afterglow of the setting sun spilled onto the neat, 20-square-meter field ridges, and the dark brown soil exuded a slightly damp, earthy scent.
Xiaobai, Liuliu, Xier, Xiaomi, Dudu, and Robin stood around the edge of the field, their faces covered in mud, but their eyes shining.
Chengcheng came to visit them with a basket, bringing water, fruit, and snacks.
Everyone was hungry and thirsty, and Chengcheng's arrival was a timely help.
"Weeding, turning the soil, and raking it flat—we actually got it done!"
Little White stood with her hands on her hips, her voice brimming with pride: "Now, it's time to sow the seeds!"
"noob!"
Dudu suddenly raised her hand and suggested, "Such an important moment should have a ceremony! Let's invite all the children to witness it!"
Liuliu's eyes lit up and she immediately chimed in, "Right! Let's have a planting ceremony! And a ribbon-cutting ceremony! Just like how a movie production starts with a ribbon-cutting ceremony!"
Xiaomi agreed: "Then we need to make some preparations. We need red ribbons and scissors for the ribbon-cutting ceremony."
Dudu excitedly said, "I have the red ribbon! I'll go ask Teacher Xiaoliu for the scissors!"
Everyone got right to work. Dudu ran off like a whirlwind to find Teacher Liu and returned shortly with scissors and a roll of red ribbon in her hand.
Xi'er and Xiaomi went to the classroom and brought back a few small stools, which they put together to make a small platform.
Chengcheng informed the children that she had gone.
Xiaobai is in charge of directing the overall operation, while Liuliu has volunteered to be the "master of ceremonies" and has already secretly started practicing her opening remarks.
The news quickly spread throughout the academy.
"The sowing ceremony? Where is it?"
"The firefly farm is about to have its ribbon-cutting ceremony!"
Little Weiwei was the first to rush to the edge of the wasteland, and the war correspondent was always the first to arrive at the scene to watch the drama unfold.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Meng, Xiao Li Zi, Xiao Xiao, Xiao Nian, Xiao Song Qin... almost all the children in the school gathered around, and Xiao Zhou also came to the scene with Wan Xiao Hu's help.
Everyone chattered excitedly, gazing curiously at the newly reclaimed land, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Old Li chuckled and carried two small lanterns from the guard post, hanging them on the tree branches.
Teacher Xiaoliu and several other teachers stood on the periphery, holding up their phones to take notes.
Zhang Tan appeared at the back of the crowd at some point, arms crossed, a smile on his face.
At 6:30 in the evening, as darkness fell, the small lanterns emitted a warm yellow light.
"Distinguished guests! Friends!"
Liu Liu jumped onto the stage made of small stools, holding a microphone in her hand, with Robin pushing a mobile karaoke machine next to her.
In a loud and clear voice, she announced, "Welcome everyone to the first planting ceremony at Little Red Pony Academy's Firefly Farm! I'm your host today, so say it out loud: Who am I??"
The children in the audience shouted in unison, "Liuliu—"
They immediately burst into laughter, which filled the air.
Liu Liu cleared her throat triumphantly and continued in an exaggerated tone, "After six days of hard work, we have finally cultivated this fertile land! Now, the historic moment has arrived! We will sow the seeds of hope here!"
She pointed to the ridge in the field, and the children all craned their necks.
"First, let's have the ribbon-cutting ceremony! Please welcome our farm founders—Chengcheng, Xiaobai, Xier, Xiaomi, Dudu, and Robin—to the stage!"
As a devoted admirer, of course I have to put Chengcheng first.
Those whose names were called walked up to the small stool platform and stood in a row.
Xiao Weiwei and Xiao Songqin pulled open the red ribbon, holding both ends, with three silk flowers hanging down in the middle.
Xiaobai, Xier, and Dudu stood behind the silk flowers, each holding a toy pair of scissors.
Liu Liu drawled, “I hereby declare that the firefly farm planting ceremony now begins!”
Three plastic scissors cut at the same time, and the red ribbon broke instantly.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.
"good!!!!"
While clapping, Liuliu said, "Next comes the most important part—planting! Let's plant the first seed with the most sincere hearts!"
Xiao Bai jumped off the platform and carefully pinched out a few "little sugar pill" watermelon seeds from the prepared seed bag.
She walked to the southernmost ridge of the field where the sun was strongest, squatted down, and dug a small hole in the soft soil with her little hands.
All the children held their breath and watched intently.
Little White gently placed the seed into the hole, covered it with a thin layer of soil, then put her hands together and whispered, "Watermelon seed, grow up quickly and grow into a big, sweet watermelon."
"It's my turn!"
Liuliu ran over eagerly and grabbed a handful of bell pepper seeds. She imitated Xiaobai, digging holes, planting the seeds, and covering them with soil. Then she shouted to the ground, "Chili peppers, chili peppers, you must grow plump, but don't be too spicy!!"
Xi'er planted cherry tomato seeds. She moved gently, whispering as she placed each seed, "Tomato, tomato, bright red, sweet and sour, perfect for egg noodles~"
Xiaomi was in charge of the cucumber seeds. She carefully arranged the seeds at certain intervals and said softly, "The cucumbers should grow straight and crisp."
Dudu planted eggplant seeds, while Robin held sunflower seeds shaped like teddy bears. She buried one seed every other step along the edge of the field, and with each seed, she clasped her hands together and made a wish: "Bless our farm with a bountiful harvest...bless my aunt to get a perfect score on her next exam, 'Wow, wow, wow!'"
After the sowing was completed, Xiao Songqin handed over a small spray bottle filled with water.
Liuliu loudly announced: "Watering ceremony - only when Mother Earth is well-watered can the seeds sprout!"
Xiaobai took the sprayer and gently sprayed the newly sown soil. Xier, Xiaomi, Dudu, and Robin took turns taking the sprayer, and each of them carefully watered a section of the land.
Finally, Liuliu snatched the spray bottle, sprayed it twice into the sky, and shouted, "May the weather be favorable and the crops plentiful!"
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
After the ceremony, Xiaobai said to the children in the school, "The firefly farm is officially established. Starting tomorrow, we will take turns taking care of these seeds, watering them, weeding, catching bugs... Everyone can help, but you must follow instructions and not step on them!"
"it is good!!!"
The children answered in unison.
Xiao Bai said seriously, "No one is allowed to step on the vegetable garden. And when the seeds sprout, you absolutely cannot pull up the seedlings, understand? If anyone does that, I won't let them get away with it!"
Everyone quickly promised that they would absolutely not step on the vegetable patch, let alone pull up the seedlings.
At this moment, Zhang Tan stepped forward and said, "Now that the farm is established, I will sponsor a set of gardening tools, including small hoes, small shovels, small buckets, etc., which will arrive tomorrow."
Old Li chimed in, "I'll provide technical guidance! If you don't understand when to water or fertilize, feel free to ask me!"
Night had completely fallen, but the children didn't immediately disperse. They gathered around the edge of the field; some squatted down to carefully examine the newly sown ground, some were already planning where to put up markers, and some were discussing when the watermelons would bear fruit…
Looking at the bustling scene before her, Xiaobai felt a warm current welling up in her heart. She remembered that just six days ago, this place was a desolate corner overgrown with weeds and piled with clutter, but now, thanks to everyone's joint efforts, it had been transformed into a farm full of hope! Just as the song says, a happy life is created through labor!
