Chapter 52: Locust Plague?

As soon as Wu's family finished their lively lunch, Wang Chuncao ran over and shouted, "Hurry up, wheat, let's catch the grasshoppers. There are a lot of grasshoppers, and they will lose their teeth when they are roasted."

Mai Mai, who had just had a full meal, was hungry again in an instant, so she ran out and asked, "Where is it, are there many?"

"It's too much, a whole lot of it." Wang Chuncao's face flushed with excitement, and she didn't even see her grandma's black face.

Wang Shangui's heart thumped when he heard it, is there a whole lot of it?That's okay?Do you want any more crops?
Then he ran out and asked, "Spring grass, where is the grasshopper?"

Wang Chuncao was very afraid of her grandpa. She forgot that grandpa was eating at Mai Mai's house, so she wouldn't have come here if she had known.

Busy and honest answer: "In Li Goudan's field, there are many, many, and his crops have been eaten up."

Wang Shangui frowned: "Only in Li Goudan's field, what about other fields?"

Wang Chuncao shook her head: "I don't know, it was Shuanzi who called me."

Wang Shangui couldn't wait any longer: "Siblings of the Wu family, Wu Bo, Dao Scar, I have to go to the field to have a look, so let's go first."

Without waiting for everyone to reply, he ran away in a hurry.

Qian Xingfang was also a little anxious. If the field was really hit by locusts, the entire production team would be wiped out: "I'll go and have a look too."

Grandma Wu hurriedly said: "Bo'er Xiaolian, Dao Scar, you all go and have a look and help."

"Okay." Everyone knew the seriousness of the matter, and went to help without saying a word.

The girls looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

Wang Chuncao shrank her neck and looked at Mai Mai: "Shall we go?"

Wheat looks at her milk, and grasshoppers are also meat, hurry up.

Grandma Wu poked Mai Mai's forehead: "Go ahead, if you guys can catch all the locusts, it would be considered a great achievement."

With approval, Mai Mai dragged a basket and ran away with Wang Chuncao.

Damai brought rice and millet to clean up the table, while Grandma Wu waited worriedly by Xiao Xiya.

The crops on their private land were destroyed, and some soybeans were planted on the vacated land, hoping to get some harvest.

The main reason is to hope that the collective crops will have a good harvest, and more food will be distributed at the end of the year.

If there is a plague of locusts, they may have to eat dirt this year.

Xiya looked at the sighing Grandma Wu with a very puzzled expression.

After such a long time, she had forgotten the bad things she had done, so she naturally didn't know that Grandma Wu's sigh was because of her and the two cuties she let out.

Not long after, Wu Bo and Zhao Lian came back, their expressions were neither good nor bad, it was rather strange that Grandma Wu couldn't understand.

"What's the matter? Is it a plague of locusts? Did the crops lose a lot?"

Zhao Lian scratched her head and said, "The production team has no losses."

"Ah?" Grandma Wu was confused: "Is that a plague of locusts? Can it be controlled?"

Zhao Lian said: "It's not a plague of locusts, as far as the Li family is concerned, there isn't a single weed left in the private plot, and the locusts are all the scourge."

"Ah?" Grandma Wu was even more confused.

If the Li family's private land can be destroyed without a single blade of grass, there must be a lot of them. How could the production team have no loss at all? It's not considered a plague of locusts.

"What's the situation?"

Zhao Lian couldn't speak, she frowned and said, "When we went, many people gathered around the Li family's plot to catch grasshoppers, especially the little ones."

"Those grasshoppers are big and fat. Some children couldn't help roasting them on the spot. They were so oily that they could smell the fragrance from a long distance."

"Then it attracted half the people in the village to arrest them."

"I don't know if the commune members left too fast, or what. After a while, all the effort was gone. There were a large number of grasshoppers, and none of them could escape, so only Li's land was harmed."

The Li family members are still crying and cursing, not to mention how miserable they are.

When they came back, many people were talking about it, saying that the Li family had done too many bad things, and they were punished and condemned by heaven.

It's hard for Zhao Lian to say this, but she thinks it's really possible.

Otherwise, there is nothing wrong with the private plot of Mrs. Wang's family separated by a ridge of fields, but there is not a single grain left in Li's family.

This is too strange, right?
The master of the system who hides his merits and fame... The code shot naturally refers to where to hit, and he has never missed it.

Xi Yazai, who has forgotten that he has done bad things, 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.

But for the Big Wolf production team, there was no danger, and the rations were kept.

In the summer solstice and the beginning of summer, the hail is fierce, and the bad seeds are picked out.Eliminate hail, increase rain, dry and hot wind, and topdress corn to prevent stickworms.

Xiaoshu enters the dog days, and Longkou competes for food and time.Weeding, cultivating and cultivating the soil, don't wait for rain and fire prevention.

Severe heat and heavy rains have increased, and replanting autumn vegetables is tight for flood control.Forecast and forecast rice blast, protect seedlings in deep water to prevent low temperature.

During the dog days, the sweat was dripping down, the clothes hadn't been dried, and everyone was several degrees dark.

From time to time, there will be heavy rains, and the Wu family's thatched cottage will be full of holes.

A thunderstorm last night 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 mended the hole.

The roof can only be replaced after the rice has been cut and the straw has been dried.

"Mother, put your things there. I'll take the stove out to dry after I've packed it up. Don't move."

"The ground is still dry, don't drop it."

Zhao Lian yelled in the kitchen, the kitchen is just a shed, after the strong wind and heavy rain, it looks a bit miserable.

Fortunately, all the food was kept in the cupboard of the house, otherwise all the food would have to be soaked in water.

Zhao Lian cleaned up the fallen branches and dead leaves, and then shoveled away the mud on the ground.

Barley and Wheat are tidying up the room where they sleep. The ground is full of mud, and the clothes and quilts are also wet.

None of Wu's houses escaped, and they were all muddy.

Xiya stayed on Grandma Wu's bed, it was the only place that wasn't wet.

Grandma Wu had no time to spare, she tiptoed out to hug the quilt.

"It's okay, I stepped on it firmly, and I can't fall."

"It's rare to go to the ground today, so you should rest more. You don't need to shovel too much mud. In this weather, it will dry up in a while."

Zhao Lian agreed, tidied up the kitchen, and ran out to take over the work from Grandma Wu.

Grandma Wu smiled, sat on the side of the bed, and went to guard Xiya.

The little guy crossed his legs and wanted to go out to play.

The ground is full of mud, and Grandma Wu refuses to let her go, so she can only wait obediently.

When I was bored, I found that Scar was coming, and shouted happily: "Ahhh..." Godfather, godfather...

Dao Scar subconsciously took two quick steps, handed the 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, you can't get down."

Then he turned his head and told Scar: "You can't go to the ground with this girl, the child is young and can't bear the moisture."

Scar twitched the corners of his mouth, kind of a smile, nodded in agreement, and picked up the little thing that was rushing towards him impatiently.

A small ball of meat, fragrant and milky, very comfortable to hold.

"Ahhh..." Godfather, play.

Fatty pointed his hand outward, looking very eager.

Scar gnawed on her fat paw and shook his head: "This will not work, godfather will help you repair the house, otherwise you will have no place to stay at night."

"Huh?" Repairing the house?

The villain looked up with his little head, the house is fine.
