Chapter 52 52Locust plague?
As soon as the Wu family's lively lunch was finished, Wang Chuncao ran over and yelled: "Hurry up, wheat, let's catch grasshoppers. There are so many grasshoppers. When the time comes, they will be roasted and delicious."
Xiaomai, who had just finished eating, suddenly felt hungry again. He ran out and asked, "Where is it? Is there much?"
"It's so much, it's all covered in a big area." Wang Chuncao's face turned red with excitement, and she didn't even see her grandma's dark face.
Wang Shangui's heart pounded when he heard it. It's a big area? Is that okay? Do we still need the crops?
Then he ran out and asked, "Spring Grass, where are the grasshoppers?"
Wang Chuncao was quite worried about her grandfather. She had forgotten that her grandfather was having dinner at Xiaomai's house, and she would not have come if she had known.
Busy replied honestly: "There are so many crops in Li Goudan's family's land that all their crops have been eaten up."
Wang Shangui frowned: "Only Li Goudan's land, what about the other fields?"
Wang Chuncao shook his head: "I don't know, it was Shuanzi who called me."
Wang Shangui couldn't wait any longer: "Brothers and sisters of the Wu family, Wu Bo, Dao Scar, I have to go check out the fields and leave first."
Without waiting for anyone to reply, he ran away in a hurry.
Qian Xingfang was also a little anxious. If there were really locusts in the fields, the entire production team would be wiped out: "I'll go take a look too."
Grandma Wu said hurriedly: "Bo'er, Xiaolian, Dao Scar, you all go and have a look and help me."
"Okay." Everyone knew the seriousness of the matter and went to help without saying anything.
The girls looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Wang Chuncao curled up and looked at Xiaomai: "Are we still going?"
Wheat sees her as milk, but grasshoppers are also meat. Urgent.
Grandma Wu poked Xiaomai's forehead: "Go ahead, if you kids can catch all the locusts, it will be a great achievement."
With the approval, Xiaomai grabbed a basket and ran away with Wang Chuncao.
Da Mai brought rice and millet to clear the table, while Grandma Wu watched over Xiao Xiya and waited anxiously.
The crops on their private land were destroyed, so they planted some soybeans on the vacant land in the hope of harvesting something.
The main thing is to hope that the collective crops will have a good harvest and that we can distribute more food at the end of the year.
If there really is a locust plague, they may have to eat dirt this year.
Xiya looked at Grandma Wu who was sighing, with a very puzzled expression.
For such a long time, she had forgotten the bad things she had done, so naturally she didn't know that Grandma Wu's sigh was because of her and the two little cuties she let out.
Not long after, Wu Bo and Zhao Lian came back. Their expressions could not be said to be good or bad, but they were quite strange and Grandma Wu could not understand them.
"How's it going? Is it a locust plague? Did the crops suffer a lot?"
Zhao Lian scratched her head and said: "The production team did not suffer any losses."
"Ah?" Grandma Wu was confused: "Is that a locust plague? Is it under control?"
Zhao Liandao: "It can't be considered a locust plague. As far as the Li family is concerned, not a single weed is left in their private land. It's all caused by locusts."
"Ah?" Grandma Wu was even more confused.
To be able to destroy even a single blade of grass on the Li family's private land, there must be a lot of them. How could the production team not suffer any losses at all? It's not considered a locust plague.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Lian couldn't tell, so she frowned and said, "When we went there, many people gathered around the Li family's private land to catch grasshoppers, especially the little kids."
"Those grasshoppers were so big and fat that some children couldn't help but roast them on the spot. They were so oily that they could smell the fragrance from a distance."
"Then half the village was attracted to arrest him."
"I don't know if the members left too quickly or something else, but all the effort was gone in a moment. Not even a single grasshopper could escape from the large swath of grasshoppers, so only the land of the Li family was harmed."
The Li family is still crying and cursing about geography right now, not to mention how miserable they are.
When they came back, many people were talking, saying that the Li family had done too many bad things and was being repaid and punished by God.
It's hard for Zhao Lian to say this, but she thinks it's really possible.
Otherwise, why would Mrs. Wang's family's private land, separated by a field ridge, be fine, while none of the Li family's land would be left.
Isn't this too strange?
The system master who has deep hidden power and fame... Code attacks, naturally he hits wherever he wants, and he never misses.
Xi Yazai, who had forgotten the bad things he had done, said, "I don't know, I don't understand, don't ask me."
Grandma Wu also looked weird when she heard this. It's really hard to say this.
However, for the Dalang production team, it was a near miss and their rations were saved.
From the summer solstice to the beginning of summer, there will be severe hailstorms, so we must clear out the bad ones and select good seeds. The hail will be eliminated and the rain will increase, with dry and hot winds, and the corn will be topdressed to prevent armyworms.
The mild heat has entered the dog days of summer, and dragons are competing for food and time. Weeding, cultivating, and cultivating the soil should not be idle in preventing rain and fire.
Heavy heat and heavy rains will increase during the severe heat, so it is necessary to plant autumn vegetables again to prevent floods. Rice blast is forecast, and seedlings should be protected in deep water to prevent low temperatures.
In the dog days of summer, sweat is pouring down, clothes are not dry, and everyone is several degrees darker.
From time to time, heavy rains would hit the Wu family's thatched house, leaving holes everywhere.
There was a thunderstorm last night and almost washed away the thatched roof of Wu's house.
Early in the morning, Wu Bo went to get some thatch and banana leaves and simply repaired the holes.
After the rice is harvested and the straw is dried, the roof can be replaced.
"Mom, put your things there. I'll clean up the kitchen and take them out to dry. Don't move."
"The ground is not dry yet, so don't throw it."
Zhao Lian shouted from the kitchen, which was just a shed. After the strong wind and heavy rain, it looked a little miserable.
Fortunately, all the food is stored in the cabinet in the house, otherwise it would have to be soaked in water.
Zhao Lian picked up the fallen branches and dead leaves, and shoveled away the mud on the ground.
Barley and Wheat were cleaning the room where they slept. The floor was covered with mud, and their clothes and quilts were all wet.
Not one of the Wu family's houses was spared, and they were all covered in mud.
Xiya stayed on Grandma Wu's bed, which was the only place that wasn't wet.
Grandma Wu had no time to rest, and stood on tiptoe to hug the quilt.
"It's okay, I stepped firmly and couldn't fall."
"It's rare that I don't have to go to the ground today, so you should rest more. You don't need to shovel too much mud. In weather like this, it will dry out in a while."
Zhao Lian agreed, cleaned up the kitchen, and ran out to take over the work from Grandma Wu.
Grandma Wu smiled, sat beside the bed, and watched over Xiya.
The little guy crossed his legs and wanted to go out and play.
The ground was full of mud, and Grandma Wu wouldn't let it go, so she could only stay there.
When I was bored, I noticed that Scar was coming, and I shouted happily: "Ah ah ah..." Godfather, Godfather...
Scar subconsciously took two quick steps, handed a few wild eggs in his hand to Zhao Lian, and walked towards the door of the house.
Grandma Wu smiled and patted the little guy's little butt: "Don't worry, your godfather is here. The ground is wet, so you can't get down."
Then he turned around and told Scar: "You can't rely on this girl to go to the ground. The child is young and cannot bear the moisture."
Scar twitched the corner of his mouth, pretending to be smiling, nodded in agreement, and picked up the little thing that eagerly pounced on him.
It's a small, meaty ball, with a milky aroma and is very comfortable to hold.
"Ahhh..." Godfather, play.
The little chubby hand pointed outward, looking very eager.
Scar nibbled on her fat paw and shook his head: "Is this possible? My godfather has to help your father repair the house, otherwise you will have no place to stay at night."
"Ah?" Repairing the house?
The little man raised his little head and saw that the house was fine.
