Chapter 87

Mo Mo had been mentally prepared early, so when the word "locust plague" began to appear more and more in the news, she was not too surprised. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 On the contrary, seeing the step-by-step handling method of the superior department, she felt more at ease.

From the beginning, it seemed to be inadvertently mentioned slightly, and then to the broadcast of the special interview, until the final explanation of the seriousness of the locust plague and the consequences brought by it to the people, step by step, one ring after another, so that the people gradually accepted this not very good reality. Although the people who learned of the seriousness of the situation were a little panicked, because they accepted the cruel reality like boiling frogs in warm water, they did not cause riots or turmoil, and even actively cooperated with the government requisition work, enthusiastically signing up for the "locust clearing" operation that the army had dispersed and authorized to the community organizations.

On the first day of the operation, at least one person from every household in the city was sent out of the city under the supervision of the soldiers.

Mo Mo, as a temporary logistics inspector, naturally returned to the recruit company after the busiest period passed. Probably because of the lack of equipment, they have only practiced some fist and foot kung fu so far, and they have never seen a shadow of a gun or anything, so naturally they have no chance to practice shooting. As a result, they could not serve as bodyguards in this "locust removal" operation, and could only be assigned to the masses in various communities as team leaders to be responsible for statistical management.

Presumably for convenience, the recruits were assigned back to their respective community squads.

"Grandparents, why are you all here!" Seeing that the two old men who promised to stay at home obediently last night appeared in the team of the Binhai Yayuan community team, Mo Mo was extremely helpless. Just now, I saw my grandfather with a weak face shrinking behind Uncle Yan, pretending that he didn't exist, but now when I got closer, even my grandmother was there, Mo Mo didn't know what to say.

"We're not too old to walk, why can't we come out!" The old lady didn't have a trace of weakness, and her words were so straightforward that people couldn't refute them.

People are coming. I can't rush back anymore, Mo Mo opened his mouth, and finally didn't continue to argue with his grandmother.

"Pi Pi Lele has Huihui and Qiqi watching, don't worry...... "Yan's mother also came over." Laughing round field.

After greeting acquaintances for a while, the company commander in front of him shouted with a loudspeaker. Mo Mo didn't care about saying anything, and hurriedly trotted to gather.

There are many people who have joined the army in the Binhe Yayuan community, and in addition to those who have joined the regular army, there are also dozens of people who stay in the reserve army. However, many of the male soldiers have been transferred to clear the wasteland or repair the city wall. There are only one or twenty female soldiers sent over this time, and there are only more than ten people standing with Mo Mo in the morning and afternoon, which is really pitiful compared to other communities. There is no way, the women between the ages of 16 and 40 in the Riverside Garden are either researchers or technicians who work safely in scientific research institutions, or who eat public meals or teach at schools, or who are pampered eldest ladies or housewives. Even if the world has changed, there are not many people who can endure hardships and choose to join the army.

“…… Everyone should keep a note of the number of bags that will be distributed, and the members of each group will fill them and hand them in and seal them and carry them to the open space next to the truck, and they should also pay attention to marking and recording them......"

Each person was soon given a certain number of sacks, as well as a notepad and a pen.

Mo Mo gathered the team members he was in charge of, distributed the same number of sacks to each of them, carefully recorded them, and carefully explained the precautions that the loudspeaker had said several times, and then led everyone to work in the designated area.

There are so many locusts that you don't even need to trap them, you can catch a lot of them with your bare hands. Not to mention that everyone still has gadgets at hand.

"Hey, you really know how to find a way, you actually brought an electric mosquito swatter, and it is much more convenient to pick up than to catch alive, and the efficiency is also high. I'll bring one with me tomorrow! "The neighbors who were hurriedly catching with nets saw Mo's mother, they took a small piece of electricity with mosquitoes, and then squatted down to gather the insects that didn't know whether they were electrocuted or electrocuted and stuffed them into the sack.

"This is not an ordinary electric mosquito swatter, it is made up by a few children in our family......" The old lady looked proud, thinking that her baby grandson was amazing. The things that come out casually are so useful that people are envious.

"I heard that your family Yichen and Xiaobin both graduated from BGI? No wonder, they're all talents. …… Can you help me change it when you see it? ”

"Of course there's no problem, they're all familiar neighbors, what's this little thing, my grandson is happy~"

Maybe it was because the noise of a few people chatting was too loud, or maybe the Mo Yan family was much more efficient than others and attracted the attention of the patrol team, and when Mo Mo carried the full and sealed sack to the truck and then returned, he saw a patrol soldier pulling his grandmother to ask something.

Mo Mo wanted to stop and listen, but someone not far away shouted "full of bags" and "the sack is used up", she could only trot over and distribute the records, and then relentlessly carried the insects that were still struggling and wriggling in the bag to the centralized escort location.

After she had finished going back and forth several times, the patrol team had already left, and Mo Mo saw this while watching and listening to the scattered team members, and asked his mother in a voice that was neither high nor low: "Mom, what did the patrol team come to ask just now?" ”

"I tried the electric mosquito swatter, and it seems that I am very interested, and it is estimated that it will be reported for mass production soon." Mo's mother finally overcame the fear of these dense insects, her face returned to normal, and when she talked to her daughter, she didn't forget to shoot the insects neatly with an electric mosquito swatter and electrocute the insects on the ground.

"Hmm." Mo Mo nodded clearly, and told his mother not to work too hard, pay attention to moderate rest and replenish water, and go to other places to be busy. The family has always been low-key, and it is really abnormal for grandma to show off so flamboyantly just now, it is estimated that Shi Yichen specially asked her to do so. Now that she has achieved her goal, she doesn't have to worry about it.

The lethality of the improved electric mosquito swatter is so great, it can not only bring practical benefits to the developers Shi Yichen, Yan Bin, Su Ran and Qin Ze, but also help improve the efficiency of the "locust clearing" operation.

"Ahh

Mo Mo subconsciously ran to the scream, and when he saw that it was a flower snake, he couldn't be afraid, so he picked up a dry branch and went to fight, and when the patrol team hurriedly came, the snake had already burrowed into the grass and disappeared.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? ”

"Is it all right?"

Mo Mo took several deep breaths. After reacting, his frightened brain finally returned to normal operation, and his face stiffened, and his voice was a little hoarse and choked: "It's okay, it's just a snake, it's been driven away." ”

"That's good. Everyone should pay attention to their steps and don't go too far away......"

When the beating heart gradually calmed down, Mo Mochong looked at his mother worriedly and smiled, and began to continue to work.

It's a busy morning, even if everyone is fully prepared before they come - with sunhats on. I wore long-sleeved, long-trousers, and long-tube rubber shoes, and even wiped the mosquito repellent herb juice issued by the community seriously—but by the time I got home at noon, I was still gray and exhausted.

Fortunately, the above is considerate and implements a shift system, so that everyone who has worked hard all morning can take a good rest at home in the afternoon.

After returning home, Mo Mo didn't care about going to Yan's house to take his son home, so he first went to the balcony and brought a basin of hot water into the bathroom. Although the amount of water is limited, it is not possible to rinse it quickly, but it is very comfortable to wipe it with a wet towel. Wearing a military cap, I worked all morning. Sweating over and over again, almost stinky, fortunately, she now has short broken hair that is no different from a boy, just squeeze a little shampoo and wash it with the small half basin left over from the bath.

Changing into crisp short-sleeved shorts and holding out wet hair, Mo Mo felt like he had finally come to life.

"I'll go downstairs and get Pi Pi Lele back!" After saying hello to the elders, Mo Mo stepped on the cold and dragged downstairs.

After a while, she and Su Qi (Su Ran's youngest sister) went upstairs with a little fat man wearing a red belly pocket and diapers. Su Qi is the most homely of the people Mo Mo knows, and she can hardly go out for a long time if she doesn't have to. Although Su Ran's brothers and sisters didn't say it explicitly, everyone could see it. Even if Su Qi doesn't have autism, she should have some social difficulties, seeing that she really doesn't like to go out, and she doesn't like to see outsiders. Everyone didn't force her, so she stayed at home.

Although she looks delicate and weak, Su Qi is actually a very capable girl. Doing housework, cooking, taking care of the vegetables in the conservatory, and even occasionally helping Mo Mo take care of the children, she always does it in an orderly manner, and no one can deny her great contribution to the family.

"Do you need to be polite to us? Your brothers and sisters don't come home at noon. If you're in trouble alone, let's just leave it here and eat! After "tricking" Su Qi with the excuse of asking for help to hug Lele home, how could Mo Mo let her go so easily? Although they are all familiar friends, they are not obliged to help her take care of the children, please have a meal and thank you is already very unseen.

Su Qi couldn't break free, so he could only stay. Fortunately, she didn't treat her as an outsider at home, nor did she chat with her politely or serve her vegetables, which made her quickly relax when she was a little uncomfortable.

"In the middle of the morning, Sister Huihui and I heard gunshots. I quickly called my eldest brother to tell him about it, and he found out after a while, saying that there was a group of thieves who took advantage of the fact that no one in the community came to steal, and was discovered by the patrol team, who fled despite the warning, and in a panic, they also kidnapped the old man walking downstairs, and the patrol team opened fire. Asked if anything had happened in the morning, Su Qi told him what he knew.

"Those bastards who kill a thousand knives, those who have hands and feet don't do their part for the country, they all want to take advantage of loopholes to do bad things at this time!" The ideological consciousness of the older generation is relatively high, not to mention that they have money to participate in the "locust cleansing" operation, and even if they don't, they are willing to contribute their own strength. Grandpa heard that some young people wanted to take advantage of the chaos at this time, and immediately blushed, if it weren't for the fear of scaring the children, it was estimated that he would have slapped the table.

"No one died, did they?" Mo Mo didn't think it was too strange, there were too many people in this world who would rather take risks than live a down-to-earth life. To be honest, if it weren't for the country's quick response and timely countermeasures, she wouldn't have dared to imagine what the world would be like now!

"Probably not, you can hear their angry howls from afar, it shouldn't be a big problem."

Mo Mo was tired enough during this time, and he was finally able to rest for an afternoon, so he naturally didn't want to go out to find guilt. After taking a nap with Su Qi and the two children in the soft cushion of the children's room for more than an hour, he called He Hui, who had just woken up, to come up, and the three of them spent a leisurely afternoon together.

Shi Yichen and the others came back in the evening, and sure enough, they heard that they were called by their superiors to talk.

Shi Yichen, Yan Bin, Su Ran and Qin Ze, as the developers, not only were each credited, but each of them also received a reward, although it was not too much, but it was enough for the family to eat a few more meals of meat every month, and everyone was quite satisfied.

"The trucks I saw alone have been running back and forth many times, and each trip is dozens of sacks, do you know what to do with so many locusts? It can't be processed into food for sale, right? Mo Mo didn't catch it with her own hands, but she carried a lot of sacks back and forth, and now she felt sick when she thought of the dense wriggling worms, and thought that one day she might have to eat the food processed from those worms, and suddenly felt sick to her stomach.

"I heard that several new farms have been put into use, so the locusts should be fed to the chickens, right?"

"Feed the chickens? That's a good idea indeed! Su Huan (Su Ran's eldest sister), who had no meat and no joy, couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and said with some nostalgia, "I really want to eat stewed chicken!" ”

"If you want to eat it, buy one, it's not that we can't afford to eat it!"

Su Huan shook her head again and again, a chicken was worth a week's rations at home, and she was reluctant to buy it. I don't know what I thought, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I asked expectantly: "Brother, why don't we raise a few at home?" Now there are many insects, and I am not afraid that they will be hungry, and they will not be able to drink much water. ”

"It's not easy to deal with hygiene, is it?" Mo Mo's heart was also moved when he heard it, but thinking of the unpleasant smell and the gurgling noise, he finally dispelled the thoughts in his heart. It can be raised in the field of the small area, but even the vegetables are unconsciously secretly picked, and if you raise chickens, you won't even take away the cage?

"Also, the weather is so hot, and the water in our community is limited, and the sanitation problem is really difficult to solve. Forget it, let's catch more monkeys to satisfy our hunger......" (To be continued.) )
