239 What Does an Earthworm Eat?

He became excited as if he had solved an unsolved mystery of the world, “An earthworm definitely eats dirt! Look, some insects like to eat leaves, and some like to eat other insects. But an earthworm doesn’t have a big mouth, so it definitely can’t eat other insects. There are no leaves in the soil, only soil, so it definitely eats soil!”

After saying that, he looked at Xiao Ye. “Xiao Ye, you’re a scholar. You’re more knowledgeable than your brothers, so you must know more. Don’t you think Grandpa is right?”

Xiao Ye hesitated for a long time with a conflicted face. He did not know what the earthworm ate, and the book did not say anything about it.

It was best if he said honestly, “Grandpa, I don’t know either. Teacher didn’t say anything.”

Old Man Jian immediately glared at him and muttered, “What kind of school are you in? They don’t even teach this?”

Xiao Ye also lowered his head and did not dare to speak. What earthworms ate was not a big question. Why would teacher teach this?

However, he did not dare to refute his grandfather.

Old Man Jian looked at Jian Qingqing with a smile. “Big Sister, I’m not lying. It must be because Xiao Ye is not knowledgeable enough that he doesn’t know. If I know this, it means that I’m better than him!”

Jian Qingqing smiled. She knew that her grandfather definitely wanted to protect his image in front of her. She did not expose him and agreed with him. “Grandpa, I think you’re right!”

At this moment, Xiao Hu retorted, “I don’t think earthworms eat soil. They eat fallen leaves! Although there are no leaves in the ground, there are fallen leaves. Those earthworms grew up eating this.”

Jian Qingqing looked at him in surprise. Not bad, young man, you can even think of this.

It was not bad to say that earthworms eat fallen leaves, because earthworms eat humus. In her previous life, she had seen a video where someone was doing an experiment, wanting earthworms to break down garbage. That video explained the habits of earthworms and the principle of breaking down garbage. She remembered that one of them was that earthworms ate rotten organic matter. The video was full of earthworms, which caused her extreme discomfort. Therefore, she did not watch it anymore. She only remembered this. She did not know how it was raised.

Old Man Jian said unhappily, “What do you know? Your knowledge is not as good as your brother’s. How can you know something that he doesn’t know? Eat your food well, Big Sister. Don’t believe him. He’s talking nonsense!”

Jian Qingqing giggled and said, “Grandpa, I think what Xiao Hu said makes sense. Shall we put some fallen leaves in to try?”

Xiao Hu immediately smiled smugly. “I told you! Earthworms will definitely eat fallen leaves!”

Old Man Jian was naturally obedient to his granddaughter’s words and believed her every word. He acknowledged her and then glared at Xiao Hu. “You know best, right? Don’t go out and play crazily when you come back from school tomorrow. Come with me to raise earthworms. This was your suggestion. You should know better!”

The pride on Xiaohu’s face froze. He was dumbfounded. He had never thought that things would turn out like this. Although he was not afraid of earthworms, he had already made an agreement with Jian Rong to go to the mountains to find wild fruits to eat. How could he go now?

If he had known earlier, he would not have said anything. He lowered his head in grievance.

Jian Qingqing laughed out loud and encouraged him, “Xiao Hu, you can do it! You must have some ideas for thinking that earthworms eat fallen leaves. When you have raised the earthworms well, I will make delicious food for you! I guarantee that you have never eaten it before!”

With the comfort of delicious food, Xiao Hu was immediately filled with energy and shouted, “Yes! I guarantee that I will complete the mission!”
