Chapter 228 Tell Parents

  228 Tell parents

  Zhao Zhitong blinked, thinking, why is she so angry?

   But looking at Qiao Muchen's bright eyes, full of anticipation, he nodded and said, "We are good friends, why would I be angry with you?"

  Qiao Muchen was happy in an instant, swept away the haze just now, sat back on the seat with a bouncing bouncing, picked up a pen, and said, "Okay, Tongtong, tell me, I'll help you write it down."

  Zhao Zhitong's little face was flushed with excitement: "Well, chickens, ducks and geese, yes, yes, the favorite food of chickens, ducks and geese is locusts."

   "Let's ask the county magistrate to announce that all the villagers will take out the chickens, ducks and geese at home and let them eat locusts. This is called biological governance."

  They don't understand the word 'biological governance', but they know that chickens, ducks and geese like to eat locusts, so they all think this method is feasible.

  Zhao Yue: "Yes, yes, chickens and ducks eat locusts, you can let chickens and ducks eat those locusts, I never thought of that."

   Wei Shulan looked at Zhao Zhitong with sparkling eyes, admiringly said: "Tongtong, you are so smart!"

  Zhao Zhitong felt embarrassed, because he read all these in books.

   After Qiao Muchen was busy recording it, he asked again: "What about the second method?"

  Zhao Zhitong said: "The second method is to lure the fire to burn the locusts. All insects tend to the fire. The effect of using fire must be very good."

  Qiao Muchen nodded: "Yes, moths to the flame!"

  Naturally, this way of using fire is also what she saw in the book. It is recorded in the book that in the Tang Dynasty, people began to think of using fire to deal with locust plagues, and the effect was obvious.

   Later, among the people, the agricultural proverb "everyone has a fire, and borers have nowhere to hide" became popular in many places.

  Zhao Zhitong emphasized: "However, the fire method should be carried out at night, especially in the moonless night, the effect is definitely the best."

  Up to now, a few little guys have summed up many methods. Although each has advantages and disadvantages, they should be combined with each other to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

  After summing it up, Qiao Muchen folded it up and put it in an envelope, planning to go to the county seat to find the magistrate this afternoon.

  Zhao Zhitong suggested: "Let's go home and have a good meal first, then gather at Qiaotou and go to the county town to find the county magistrate."

   Several little guys nodded in agreement.

  At this time, Zhao Yue asked a key question: "Should we tell our family?"

  The last time they sneaked out to find evidence of the landlord Fang's house doing bad things, they didn't tell the family. After returning home, the little guys were reprimanded by the family.

  Zhao Zhitong thought for a while and said, "Let's tell, the family members in the province are worried."

  Zhao Yue nodded: "What if the family members disagree with us?"

  Qiao Muchen: "It depends on our respective abilities. Let's see who can persuade the family to agree to our going. I have no problem, my mother will definitely agree."

   After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhao Yue proudly: "Zhao Yue, you won't talk about your family members, right? Or, are you too scared to go to the yamen to see the magistrate?"

   Seeing that he underestimated himself, Zhao Yue immediately became eager to win and said, "Who said, my father is the most supportive of my studies! Besides, I'm not a coward!"

  Qiao Muchen smiled triumphantly: "Okay, since that's the case, let's gather at the bridgehead!"

  So, the little guys bid farewell one after another, went back to their respective homes, and each looked for their respective mothers.

  —

  Zhao Zhitong almost trotted home, and as soon as she got home, she started yelling and went looking for her father and mother.

  Sun Mei is arranging the vegetable field in the backyard.

  Zhao Zhitong heard Sun Mei's response, ran into the backyard, and shouted: "Mother, mother!"

  Sun Mei stood up and looked helplessly at Zhao Zhitong, who was not at all like a girl: "You run slowly, mother can't run."

  Sun Mei was nagging, but Zhao Zhitong's steps did not slow down at all. She rushed to Sun Mei's side, hugged Sun Mei's leg and asked, "Mom, where is my father?"

  Sun Mei couldn't help raising her eyebrows and smiled: "Oh, you came to find me just to find your father?"

  Zhao Zhitong shook his head: "No, Tongtong is also here to find mother. I have something very important to tell father and mother."

  Sun Mei laughed: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, your father and your eldest brother are in the orchard and haven't come back yet."

  Zhao Zhitong nodded, and first told Sun Mei about the locust plague and their preparations to help the county magistrate to control the locust plague.

   About the locust plague, Sun Mei had heard some words from Shitou's daughter-in-law not long ago.

  Now I heard it again from Zhao Zhitong, and after thinking about it, he said seriously: "Let's discuss this matter after your father comes home."

   After speaking, he stood up: "I'll cook first."

  Zhao Zhitong followed Sun Mei: "Mother, then bake a cake for me, I will take it with me to eat on the way."

  Sun Mei: "I haven't agreed to you yet, and besides, your father may not agree."

  Zhao Zhitong: "Mother, just bake one for me. If Dad agrees, it will be too late."

  Just as Zhao Zhitong finished speaking, Zhao Dong's voice came from the yard: "Why is it too late?"

  Zhao Zhitong's eyes lit up, and he trotted towards Zhao Dong.

   "Daddy, you are back."

  Zhao Dong: "Hey, don't hug daddy, daddy is covered in dirt, he's so dirty, I'll rub you all over later."

  Zhao Zhitong didn't dislike him at all, but hugged him even tighter: "Don't don't, daddy isn't dirty."

  Zhao Dong's face is full of doting: "You little monkey."

   As he spoke, he clapped his hands, hugged Zhao Zhitong, walked into the kitchen, saw Sun Mei making noodles, and said casually, "Hey, why are you making noodles? Are you going to make noodles by hand at noon?"

  Sun Mei sighed and said: "Your dear girl, you insist on going to the county seat to find the county magistrate, saying that you want to offer them the method of controlling the locust plague. I will bake her a cake."

  Zhao Dong looked directly at Zhao Zhitong.

Then the little girl said proudly: "Daddy, together with Qiao Jiaojiao, Zhao Yue and Lan Lan, I found many ways to control the locust plague from the book, but our own strength is too small, we need to go Ask the magistrate to help us."

  Zhao Dong looked a little serious. On the way back, he had already heard about the locust plague, and he had already thought a lot about it.

  Governance must be governed, otherwise, they will really leave their hometown and embark on the road of fleeing famine.

   However, the locust plague is not an easy problem to solve.

  So Zhao Dong asked, "What solutions have you all thought of?"

  Zhao Zhitong recalled and gave a rough account of their plan.

  After listening to their plan, Zhao Dong nodded: "You guys are quite capable."

  If these measures can be implemented well, it should be able to reduce the losses of some common people.

  It can let the children practice and practice.

   So Zhao Dong nodded in agreement.

   At the same time, Wei Shulan was also the one who told the adults in the family to control the locust plague.

  Wei Shulan: "Uncle, this is the general method we came up with. We have written down the specific implementation plan and precautions on paper, but it is detailed."

   Squire Wei stroked his beard with surprise on his face: "You all came up with these yourself?"
