"Don't worry, no one is so cheeky, it's uncertain whether they are alive or not, even if they live, they will definitely not come back, let's live here in peace." Ji's father said to Ji's mother.

"I can't say for sure." Mother Ji rolled her eyes and said.

"Ahh Ah......h

Susu is already two years old, has a few cute little milk teeth, and can already eat, but can't bite anything too hard.

Mother Ji looked at Su Su wanting to eat vegetables, and pouted, "Little thing, do you want to eat this thing too?" ”

"Ahh

Father Ji smiled and pinched a few relatively tender vegetable leaves and handed them to Su Su's mouth.

Su Su opened her mouth wide and ate the vegetable leaf, she squirmed her little mouth, and swallowed the vegetable leaf after a while.

"Hehe, is it delicious? Still want to eat? Father Ji looked at Su Su and asked with a smile.

"Ahhh

Father Ji smiled and nodded, pinched some vegetable leaves, and fed them to Su Su.

Maybe Su Su was too hungry, so in order to fill his stomach, even the vegetable leaves that adults didn't think were delicious were treated as delicious, and he ate a lot in one go, almost half the weight of a vegetable nest.

Seeing that Ji's father was still going to feed her, Ji's mother hurriedly stopped.

"Are you crazy? The child is so young, what should I do if I eat a bad stomach? Mother Ji held Su Su in her arms and didn't allow Father Ji to feed it anymore.

"A little vegetable leaf can't support people." Father Ji said disappreciatively.

"Are you still a good thing to be a vegetable leaf? The child is sick, and you slap your ass and leave, isn't it all my job? Mother Ji rolled her eyes and said angrily.

Father Ji felt aggrieved, "When did I slap my ass and leave?" You really don't speak with a conscience. ”

"Ahhh

Mother Ji put down her nest head and patted Su Su's little hand twice, "Again?" I want to beat you again, disobedient, like your grandfather, stubborn. ”

Su Su looked at Mother Ji strangely, not knowing why her grandmother was beating herself, her big watery eyes blinked, and she was about to shed tears.

Mother Ji looked at Su Su's expression that was almost exactly the same as Ji Ran's when she was a child, and her heart was about to melt.

Although she didn't love Ji Ran so much when she was young, she loved Su Su very much when she saw Su Su, who was very similar to her daughter.

Seeing that the little guy was about to cry, he quickly hugged him in his arms and coaxed him.

"Whoa, good baby, don't cry, grandma will take you to see the grapes." Mother Ji carried Su Su to the small courtyard and came under the grape trellis.

This grape trellis was re-built by Ji's father in the afternoon, and the weeds under the grape trellis were also shoveled, and the ground was very clean, but there were small holes left.

These small holes, which are common in the countryside in the summer, are left behind after the cicada larvae crawl out of the pit.

Cicadas are known to lie on the trees in summer, squeaking insects.

They begin to breed in large numbers every summer, and after they are known to have combined with their mothers, they will use their needle-like buttocks to poke into the branches of trees and lay their eggs inside.

When the summer has passed, and autumn comes, the branches that have been laid will fall to the ground and slowly sink into the soil, and the eggs will be buried in the soil.

It is said that it takes years for the larvae to grow up in the soil before they can climb to the ground, and these years, the larvae rely on the nutrients of the branches to obtain nutrients.

When you grow up, you will climb out of the dirt, usually at night, and then climb up the tree, shed your shell, take off the outer shell, and transform into a beautiful Zhi, fly to the branches, and wake up the summer.

In the past, when I was in the countryside, Ji Ran liked to catch Zhi, in addition to knowing that you can eat, you can also change eggs, three can change an egg, of course, they are reluctant to change eggs to eat, usually put Zhizhi in a big basin, and bring it to the supply and marketing cooperatives to exchange for some daily necessities and the like.

At that time, there were not many daily necessities, and the price was not cheap.

Ji Ran has caught not a thousand, but hundreds, every summer, there will be a lot of small knowledge in the ground, and the local people call them dogs.

It begins to appear in the evening, and most often in the near dawn.

When I was a child, Ji Ran always got up early and grabbed the morning pick, because I knew a lot in the morning, and sometimes, there would be knowledge on the tree, but I hadn't had time to unhull.

Later, after having a flashlight at home, Ji Ran caught it at night, and when he used the flashlight at night, he would crawl in the direction of the light, and they might think that the light of the flashlight was the morning sun, so they tried to crawl to the place where there was light, and they could catch dozens or even hundreds of them in one night.

Ji Ran will only have a good face when she catches a dog, and she will rarely praise her, if Ji Ran catches a lot of dogs, grandma will reward her with an egg to eat.

At that time, an egg was a rare treasure, and Ji Ran always ate it in small bites, reluctant to swallow it in his stomach.

Now Su Su is being held by Ji's mother, and when she sees the small black holes on the ground, Su Su babbles, as if asking what it means.

Mother Ji put Su Su on the ground and squatted down with Su Su, "This is a small hole, and there is a dog living in it." ”

"Twittering dogs?" Susu's milky voice is milky.

"Yes, it's a dog, a small insect that can be eaten." Mother Ji explained with a smile.

"Twitter dog, tired of eating?" Su Su asked with big black eyes.

She can understand some of the meanings of adults now, but she is not very good at expressing them, and when it comes to pronunciation, it is not very accurate.

After all, she is a two-year-old child, so Ji's mother is not in a hurry, and she still teaches her little by little.

"Yes, it's a knowing dog, knowing a dog that can be eaten, your mother liked to catch this the most when she was a child." Mother Ji said with a smile.

"Mommy eats dogs?" Su Su looked at Mother Ji and asked in a milky voice.

"Your mother doesn't eat dogs, the family was poor at that time, and she couldn't afford to eat, and your grandmother was an old lady who picked the door, very partial, and she didn't give your mother anything delicious to eat." Ji's mother said to Su Su.

Su Su was completely confused, she could only understand some short and simple meanings, once she said more than ten words, she would sound very difficult, and the words of Ji's mother just now were the same as the book of heaven to Su Su's ears.
