A Visit

It was rainy at noon and cloudy in the afternoon. The sky became blue, and sun showed up from time to time. Weather forecast said that it wouldn't rain again, so I decided to visit Auntie De. It had been three weeks that I didn't visit her.
The main road was still in maintenance, so it was a bit rugged. I had to ride my bike slowly.
When I arrived, Auntie De was going to her fields. She advised me to stay in her house, but I refuesd and told her that I wanted to go with her. I wore her shoet rain boots which was so soft to me that I could feel the stones. But I could withstand it, because I wanted to go for a walk in the fields. After raining, the air was fresh and the plants were so green which made me very pleasant. When we passed some house, a woman asked Auntie De "why the girl sivit you so frequent?" "She is just a friend." answered Auntie De. Then she told the woman that who my father was because there were a lot people knew my father in town. I was a little surprised while I heard the word "friend". People in town hardly use the word when they are much older than you.
Because of the continuous raining, all the fields were full of water. She told me her fields. I counted that she had five piece of fields. The rice grew well but was a bit sparse. “Have you ever transplanted?" asked Auntie De surprisedly. I told her that I had experienced all the farm work when I was a child.
Auntie De dug a little mud away from the ridge to drain the water in her first field. Then we walked on the ridge of canal. The water inside was pretty linpid though there was much sand under it. I saw many small fish swimming happily. I took some pictures delightedly.
After dinner, we went to the center together. I rode my bike while she rode her electrical vehicle.
I had a good day today.

你想说 “移植” 对吗?我查了我的词典,在中文里 “移植” 可以用来说秧苗和树木,但是英语里,我们只会说 transplant 器官,不会说 transplant 植物。

“Have you ever transplanted plants from one location to another?"

I want to say 插秧 which is someone plant the rice

And I look up the word "transplant" in Webster Dictionary, it did has a meaning: to lift and reset (a plant) in another soil or situationinto the field.

She told me her fields.

She pointed her fields to me. Not like the developed country, the fields in my town were devided into many parts which were small. So maybe a family would have several fields.

It is much smaller than a motorbike. I never saw it abroad, so I don't know how to describe it.

Yes, I know in the dictionary, there's a definition for "transplant" that means to move plants. What I said above was, regular English speakers who are not gardeners, or whatever, are mostly not aware of this meaning, hence my suggestion above...
