Chapter 250 Chapter 249 Dragonfly

When I was a kid, I thought forgetting my homework was a big deal.

When I was in high school, I thought it was a big deal not to get into college.

When you are in love, you feel that it is a big deal to be separated from the person you love.

Time has passed and we look back.

Those mountains that are difficult to climb are still as high as ever.

Those seas that are difficult to cross are still so deep.

Those unforgettable people are still so far away.

The so-called reconciliation with life is nothing more than the lack of a better choice.

Wang Jingmin has a choice, although he is not very clear about it now.

A child has a simple mind. After Wang Jingmin wrote down the list, he grimaced and went to the kitchen to find Tang Zhitong.

The beetle that Tang Zhitong had just taken out alone had been tied up with cotton thread and was now being carried by his brother-in-law.

At this moment, Wang Jingmin stopped talking about being afraid of bugs, and happily carried it to Wang Jingying: "Second sister, look, I'm not afraid of bugs at all!"

"Humph, you coward, you are not afraid of bugs, but you can hold it with your hands." Wang Jingying, who was not used to her brother at home, said provocatively.

"Take it, don't call me a coward!" Wang Jingmin pulled the rope, put the beetle on the ground, stepped on the head with his feet, bent down and imitated his brother-in-law's way of holding the beetle, and pinched the two beetles with his other hand. He picked up the beetle on his side.

"Did you see it? I picked it up with my hands!" Wang Jingmin looked arrogant and slapped Wang Jingying in the face with the beetle.

"Ah! You brat, you're looking for a beating, right?" Wang Jingying frowned, looking at the six-legged beetle waving in front of her, goosebumps arose on her skin.

"Hmph! I'm not afraid!" Wang Jingmin was full of confidence at this moment, thinking that he was no longer afraid of bugs.

When her brother's words reached Wang Jingying's ears, it meant that she was not afraid of herself. She reached out and grabbed her brother's ears: "You're not afraid, are you? Come on, come on, I won't let you be afraid!"

"Let go, let go, I said I'm not afraid of bugs!" Wang Jingmin saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, you know me." Wang Jingying let go when she realized that she had misunderstood her brother.

After Wang Jingmin was grabbed, he squatted aside and took apart the parts of the beetle. While pulling, he muttered: "I'll let you pull my ears! I'll let you pull my ears!"

It was another burst of justifiable and well-known turmoil.

When the food was ready, Wang Jingmin tasted one beetle and couldn't stop eating. Tang Zhitong was happy to see it. Was this a cure for his brother-in-law's heart disease?

"Euclidean, you did a good job today. Mom is happy. Let's have a drink with you." Ye Zhijuan was very angry today, but also very happy. For the first time, she took out a bottle of wine for her son-in-law, opened it and poured wine for Tang Zhitong.

"Okay, Mom." Tang Zhitong grabbed the wine bottle and poured wine for his mother-in-law first. As a junior, he couldn't carelessly accept the wine poured by his elders. What kind of words.

The wine was good wine, saved when Master Taishan was here. Ye Zhijuan really had a drink with Tang Zhitong, a small wine glass worth two yuan.

Tang Zhitong drank two taels by himself and was slightly tipsy, which was just right.

Before leaving, Tang Zhitong was only willing to take a school bag of Yilak dates, but Ye Zhijuan insisted on letting him take away the entire sack.

"Mom, we'd better bring less. Living in an alley, there are many people and it's easy for others to get jealous." Tang Zhitong still refused to bring more. This sack of iraq dates is not cheap. It's better to bring it here piece by piece. millet is valuable.

"Okay, let's bring it back piecemeal. Wenwen, after get off work next week, come here every day and take it back slowly." Ye Zhijuan changed his mind slightly and changed channels.

"Well, mom is the best." Wang Jingwen nodded in agreement, hugged Ye Zhijuan and acted coquettishly.

"Go, you are so grown up, the weather is fine, let's go quickly." Ye Zhijuan patted her daughter on the back. People of the older generation were very reserved in their feelings, and they directly spoke to drive her away.

As the young couple came out of Chunshu Alley, dragonflies were flying in the streets and alleys, swarming in swarms, like a large and dense net. These dragonflies dance in the air, light and free. The sunlight shines through the clouds and shines on the dragonflies, reflecting the bright light, like a string of shining pearls.

Some children held brooms and some held hats, following the dragonflies, trying to catch three or two.

Tang Zhitong was riding a bicycle, carefully avoiding the children and slowly passing by them.

Not long after riding, a child’s excited shout came from behind: “I caught it! I caught it!”

Tang Zhitong couldn't help but smile. The happiness of children is always so simple and honest. Once upon a time, he was also like this!

After catching the dragonfly, sometimes it is tied with a thin string to fly a kite; sometimes it is stuffed with a broomstick from the dragonfly's butt, and then close to the face, enjoying the breeze brought by the dragonfly's wings; after having enough fun, it is fed to the chickens...

Time makes people waste time, and life makes people feel burdened. Unknowingly, they become people without happiness.

Fortunately, I have a chance to come back.

After returning home, Wang Jingwen took out the Yilaq dates given by Ye Zhijuan and distributed them to everyone.

"Wow! It's so sweet! Thank you sister-in-law!" Fengzhi did her job, stuffed it into her mouth, chewed it twice, her saliva was secreted wildly, and it wasn't unpleasant at all.

"Thank you, mother-in-law. These dates are not cheap, right?" Zhang Guifang also ate one, her expression was similar to that of Tang Zhitong's for the first time, her eyes and nose shrank.

"My mother didn't say anything. It probably doesn't cost much, so you can just eat it." Wang Jingwen said cheerfully.

"Eucalyptus, remember to get some suet and send it over later." Zhang Guifang had her own idea. White sugar and brown sugar cost 84 cents per pound. Jujubes as sweet as this without pits are not much cheaper.

"Okay." Tang Zhitong agreed. He had made a promise to Xiao Wang before, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity.

"Mom, I want a drink of water!" Fengzhi held one in her mouth and one in her hand, unwilling to put it down. She couldn't spare her hand to pour water, so she raised her head to ask Zhang Guifang for help.

"Put one down and go pour the water." Zhang Guifang did not help her, but asked Fengzhi to go alone.

While Fengzhi was taking a break to pour water, Zhang Guifang put the one back into the bag and put it away: "Children can't eat so much candy, as they will develop cavities and the pain will make them unable to sleep at night. "

Fengzhi saw her mother's movements, listened to her mother's words, curled her lips, said nothing, and accepted it.

Tang Zhitong looked at Zhi Le from the side.

Tooth decay is not necessarily directly related to sugar, but the older generation has said so, and everyone has acquiesced.

Fengzhi is greedy for sweetness. Even if one was taken away, she still ate three Yilak dates. The result was that she drank two large bowls of water in a row. This thing is so sweet!

Seeing that it was still early, Tang Zhitong said hello to his family and said he wanted to go out for a walk.

Tang Zhitong stared at the dragonflies flying all over the street.

Dragonflies are magical creatures that usually only appear after rain in summer. After the rain stops, they suddenly appear in groups and disappear after a few days.

Dragonflies are the natural enemies of mosquitoes.

The larvae of dragonflies are called waterhoppers, and their diet includes larvae. As adults, they are not picky eaters, but there are still mosquitoes in their diet.

The dragonfly is a carnivorous insect, but it does not bite.

The campaign to eradicate the four pests has been more effective in the past few years, but mosquitoes will resurgence in the future, making people tire of it.

Since there are currently no effective insecticides and ultraviolet lamps are not widely available, Tang Zhitong plans to collect a batch into the space and release them later for pollution-free mosquito control at home.

Dragonflies are everywhere now, but in a few decades they will disappear with the rise of high-rise buildings and the disappearance of water in small rivers...
