Chapter 78

He Hongjin breathed out a headache and walked towards Lu Miao.

"What's the matter with you? What's wrong with you? What's the problem?"

He Hongjin's tone was not very good.

Lu Miao saw a sad little face, and the fear on his face had not completely faded away, "Captain, there are insects in the cotton field!"

"That's it?" He Hongjin almost laughed angrily. He was about to get angry but then he saw that the places where Lu Miao had hoeed the grass were carefully tidied up. He couldn't help but softened his tone, "Isn't it normal to have a few insects in the crop field? Hurry up. , finish the work neatly, and get off work in half an hour."

At this time, all aspects of production were lagging behind. We had to compete for quotas for fertilizers and pesticides, but the quotas were pitiful. Crops were generally not sprayed with pesticides, and it was normal for insects to appear in the fields.

But for Lu Miao, the fact that there were insects in the cotton field was not the point. The point was that the insects fell into her clothes and clung to her flesh!
She even squeezed it until it exploded with one hand...

Lu Miao couldn't even imagine the scene just now. She had always been afraid of soft-bodied insects such as earthworms, caterpillars, and caterpillars.

Maybe it wasn't fear, but bugs with soft tissue made her feel nauseous, and they would cause strong physical discomfort once encountered. In short, in contrast, even if a snake came over, she wouldn't be so scared.

He Hongjin asked Lu Miao to work honestly, but Lu Miao shook his head, his beautiful little face became stubborn and refused to give up, "No, there are insects in the cotton field! I won't work here anymore!"

"Why don't you do it here? It's just a few bugs. You can crush them and trample them to death!"

He Hongjin shouted, and as he spoke, he was about to drive Lu Miao to the ground.

Lu Miao was really scared. For a second, she turned into a three-year-old child, stomping on the spot and screaming, "I won't! I won't!"

Her voice was as sharp as a whistle, making He Hongjin's forehead veins bulge.

He Hongjin was simply caught by her child's shameless, fussy and yelling temperament. He started to squawk and pull, and several heads popped up around him to take stock of the situation.

Afraid that he would distract others if he continued to toss, He Hongjin sternly scolded:

"If you don't work here, go to the paddy fields to cut grain! There are snakes everywhere there. If you're not afraid, just go!"

This statement has the element of scaring people. If a few bugs can catch people, then if you go to the paddy field and catch a snake, isn't it even more nonsense?
He Hongjin was sure that Lu Miao would stay in the cotton field, but what was the truth?
In front of him, Lu Miao breathed a sigh of relief, smiled lightly and said "thank you" with a Guanyin face, turned around, picked up his hat and ran away, not even leaving the hoe on the field ridge!
He Hongjin's black face wrinkled into chrysanthemums in confusion, he picked up a hoe and chased after him, not forgetting to emphasize:

"Lu Zhiqing, I have already said hello to you. There are snakes in the paddy fields! Do you know about snakes?"

Lu Miao waved her hand empathetically, "It's okay, Captain, I'm not afraid of snakes, I'll be careful, you don't have to give it away!"

"...Huh? Oh, oh..."

He Hongjin, who was politely refused to be "sent off", stood on the field ridge with a confused look on his face, scratching the back of his head in confusion.

Looking at the green cotton fields beside him and the golden rice fields in the distance, He Hongjin couldn't figure out how many small bugs could be more terrifying than snakes.

Is there something wrong with this Lu educated youth?
Although he didn't believe that Lu Miao could work well in the paddy field, he was already far away and He Hongjin couldn't really catch up.

We can only take one step at a time, and if something goes wrong, we can only wait until something goes wrong.

... Lu Miao moved from the cotton field to the paddy field. In response to He Hongjin's words, she actually encountered a snake while cutting grain, but she was startled at the first sight. The snake behind He was obviously more afraid of her. He spat out the snake letter "hissingly", and his speed was as fast as lightning, and he disappeared in a flash.

The uncle working next to him had some experience. He took long strides to catch up with the shaking ears of grain. The sickle in his hand had turned around at some point. He saw the right moment and struck it down several times. After a while, When he came back, he already had a fat cauliflower snake in his hand, with its head smashed to pieces but its tail still twisting.

"Oh, Comrade Educated Youth, thanks to you, the few mouths in the old man's room finally got something to eat at noon today, hahaha!"

Lu Miao rubbed her muddy hands against the broken hair that had fallen down the side of her face. Her fair face was wrinkled, with confusion, surprise, and understanding. Several emotions intertwined with each other in an instant.

She lost her voice and licked her lips, and it took a long time before she found her voice: "Uncle, if you take this snake home to eat, you must remember to cook it for a while."

There are many parasites on snakes.

"What's wrong? Are you afraid that I'm not familiar with it, old man?"

The uncle's dark and thin face cracked into a smile, and while he was happy, his words and deeds showed a trace of indifference, "You young kids from the city don't understand, snakes are common in our countryside, and we eat them a lot. You Did you see the boy in that field?"

The uncle pointed in the distance. Lu Miao squinted and nodded slowly.

"Hahaha, do you know why they are so motivated?"

Lu Miao slowly cut the grains and replied one after another:

"Isn't it because of your young physique? It can't be because of eating snakes, right? Uncle, don't lie to me. If you try to bluff me, I'll be angry."

Lu Miao's childlike remarks made the old farmer laugh:
"Young body and bones, of course, are like this."

The uncle gave a thumbs up, and then added: "But it has something to do with eating snakes, don't you know? What you eat nourishes you, snake blood nourishes blood, and snake gall, eating it raw can improve your eyesight!"

Eating snake gall raw...

Lu Miao felt a chill, and her whole body felt bad: "Eating snake gallbladder raw can improve eyesight, and snake blood can replenish blood... shouldn't it be drank directly by bleeding it, right?"

The uncle joked: "Isn't that true?"

Lu Miao hissed, and the hairs on his arms stood up. He screamed softly and jumped several steps away, fearing that he would be stuffed with snake blood.

She may not understand the feudal or traditional customs and habits, but hearing the news about eating snake gallbladder raw, drinking snake blood raw, etc., is really no less uncomfortable than when she squeezed the bugs with her bare hands!
The uncle couldn't help being frightened when he saw Lu Miao. He laughed a few times and stopped teasing her.

Just as the whistle came from the team to dismiss work, the uncle held the sickle in one hand and the snake that had stopped moving vertically in the other. He smiled and said hello to Lu Miao, "Come on, it's time to dismiss work." , Comrade educated youth, the little old man left first, so as not to stink of snakes later."

As soon as the words fell, the person had already taken the lead to go home.

Lu Miao wiped off the sweat on his forehead, shook his head with suffocation, slid up the field step by step, and followed behind to the educated youth spot in the team.

On the way, she met Ren Bingxin and others who were returning from a paddy field elsewhere. She trotted up to meet them.

Ren Bingxin saw that she was carrying cloth shoes and her bare feet were still muddy. She asked curiously: "Didn't you go to the cotton field? What happened to you?"
