Chapter 285: A Woman Can Hold Up Half the Sky!

Ye Chuliang touched her hair dotingly when he heard this, "Don't worry, even if there is really a locust plague, your brother and I will not starve you!" ”

"I'm not afraid of starvation, but I'm afraid that if this happens, there will be chaos in the village and ...... city."

She hadn't experienced a locust plague, but she had heard from the old man before.

They say that when the locusts come, there will really be no grass left.

And after the locust plague, everyone is afraid that they will starve to death, as if they have no backbone, so there will be turmoil.

Zhaoguo has finally stabilized a little over the years, and she doesn't want such a thing to happen again.

Dongfang Yanhe knew what she meant, and he said with relief, "Yezi, you are indeed different from before......

In the past, the only place that this child could see was the one-third of an acre of land at home.

She doesn't look at the world out there, and she doesn't care.

But because of Cheng Youyun, she has learned to see further.

Thinking of this, he also said, "My brother supports the matter between you and Cheng Liuye." You don't have to be afraid, and you don't have to worry about what happens later.

What should be prepared, your second sister-in-law and I will prepare...... You just have to wait, and when he finishes the next exam, it's fine. ”

Liu Ye didn't know why her second brother's topic jumped so fast, but she was really stunned because of what her second brother said.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, I ......"

"You don't have to say anything, you're a good boy." Ye Chuliang smiled, "Your brother is also happy for your growth, not because of anything else.

Yezi, to be honest, your brother is right, you have indeed changed a lot recently.

You're able to care for more people, and your horizons are wider than before......"

This is something that everyone needs, whether it is a man or a woman, in fact, they need to have a broader vision.

"Maybe you don't understand your brother and sister-in-law's words now, but in the future, you will understand. The more you know and the more you see, there are many benefits to yourself. ”

Sometimes, it's experience that saves someone's life!

Ye Chuliang was sincerely happy for her, "And in your current state, I think you can learn more from Cheng Liuye."

In the future, even if you go to the Cheng family's own house, you will not lose to others. ”

"Second brother and sister-in-law, you won't be coaxing me, right?" Liu Ye was a little unconvinced, "Where am I like what you say?" ”

She's obviously the same as before, and there's no difference at all.

Dongfang Yanhe smiled dotingly when he heard this, "You didn't notice it yourself, Yezi, you really grew up." ”

The girl who gave herself two pennies back then has grown up to think about more people.

Three days later, when the village chief heard that there had been a locust plague elsewhere, he beckoned the big guys to get all the vegetables in the field home!

The ones were too small, so he asked the big men to cut down some dead branches and put them on top, and then spread two layers of rice stalks, so that the little vegetable seedlings would not be eaten by the locusts.

As soon as they were ready in Xiantang Village, the locusts flew over as they had agreed.

Ye Chuliang really hasn't seen so many locusts since he was a child, the day of black pressure was originally sunny, but now it looks like a cloudy day!

She was afraid that the locusts would fly in, so she closed all the windows.

"Boss, how can this locust be so big? I thought they were all as small as the ones I found before! ”

"I guess it flew from far away." Dongfang Yanhe said, "And this amount is more than we expected, it seems that this time it will not be possible to pass for two or three days." ”

As soon as Ye Chuliang heard this, he was a little worried, "But if this is the case, isn't the rice in the field gone?" ”

According to the speed at which this locust eats, don't say two or three days, it is estimated that if it has not passed tonight, it is estimated that the regenerated rice in the field will not even be able to reach the rice stalks!

"Don't worry about this for the time being, the village chief arranged for people to go to the rice fields to light a fire, and some people carried torches around the field.

If there is fire, the locusts should be the first to pounce on the fire. Okay, daughter-in-law, Yezi, you two stay at home, don't go out, don't open the window, I have to help. ”

Ye Chuliang and Liu Ye were a little worried, but the men in every family were running for this matter, and it was impossible for the two of them to stop him.

After Dongfang Yanhe went out, Ye Chuliang suddenly slapped his head, "I have a way!" ”

"Second sister-in-law, what can you do?" Liu Ye asked.

"We're waiting at home, so why don't we go to the field and help!" Ye Chuliang said, "I make light yarn to make two cloaks, so that there is a light yarn to block the head, and the locusts can't fly in front of us!"

How, are you going or not? ”

They have a lot of land, and if you don't look at it, you will be eaten up!

As the saying goes, one more person means more strength, even if you can protect a few more rice seedlings, that's good.

"Go!" As soon as Liu Ye heard this, he nodded, "I'll go with you!" ”

The second sister-in-law is right, this is their family's rice field, if you don't protect it, it will really be gone!

……

Half an hour later, Dongfang Yanhe met their two sisters-in-law in their rice field.

Seeing them come out, his heart suddenly hung up, "What are you doing here!?" This locust is crazy and will bite! ”

"Second brother, we are not afraid!" Liu Ye said, "Let's come over together to help, one more person will have more strength!" ”

No matter how hard he endured, Dongfang Yanhe felt nothing.

But watching his beloved woman and sister come out and suffer, he felt very uncomfortable.

He wanted them to go back quickly, but before he could finish his sentence, he saw more torches raised in the village, and these torches were all approaching Chaotian!

At first, he thought it was someone from the government who was coming, but after seeing the person clearly, he and the other men present were stunned one by one.

Because those people are not strangers, but the women and girls of the village!

It doesn't matter if you're old, or seven or eight years old, they're all here!

Dongfang Yanhe looked at them, and he couldn't say a word for a while.

The men in the back also noticed something unusual, and then looked back.

As soon as he saw this battle, the village chief was the first to frown, "Nonsense! What are you doing!? Bah...... Do you think it's fun?

Go back, phew...... Give me all back! One or two are not worrying, if something happens to you, what will happen to your men and dolls? ”

Because locusts flew everywhere, when the village chief spoke, from time to time locusts flew on his face and mouth.

This also leads to him snorting or wiping his face with his hands from time to time when he speaks.

They're all here at night fighting these damn locusts, isn't that just to make the mother-in-law and dolls in the family have a better life!?

It's good now, these people don't stay at home well, and they all run to the front one by one!

Seeing that the village chief was angry, an eldest lady said, "Village chief, we understand your thoughts!" But it's not easy for you to ......."

"That's right! Even if this locust can eat people, we are not afraid! Don't say they don't eat people, what are we afraid of! ”

"I'm not afraid! My head of the house and my son are out, and I can't wait at home!

The more I waited at home, the more unsteady my heart became! I don't care, I'm going to be with them! ”

"That's right, so am I! If I can kill a locust, I'll be able to help! ”

"Let's go, our mother-in-law and girl in Xiantang Village are not bad seeds, let's go! I still don't believe that we have people with hands and feet who can push this damn locust to a corner! ”

Seeing that they were all gearing up one by one, whether it was the village chief or the other men, their eyes were wet.

Finally, the village chief nodded heavily, choked up and said, "Okay!" Now our whole village is fighting with this locust! ”

"Wait!" Ye Chuliang saw that everyone was going to the field, so he said, "If this locust can be caught, just catch it!"

Anyway, the chickens, ducks and geese at home are willing to eat these, and after this thing is roasted, we can eat it too! ”

She has a knack for cooking, and the locusts are indeed edible.

So after she mentioned this, the big guys all nodded, "Yes, then let's move now!" ”

Originally, there were only men, but it was actually a bit of a struggle.

Because these locusts are really big and numerous, and they hold one side, but they can't hold the other.

But now because of the women, there are more people!

The vegetable fields were already protected, so now everyone is working together to protect those rice fields. 、

Even if it's not your own, everyone is basically willing to help each other!

It's so busy, and soon it's the second half of the night.

The village chief was afraid that the mother-in-law and the girls would be ruined, so he asked the men of each family to send them back first, and then the men added a few more fires.

Because the locusts are more or less light-oriented, and when the fire is raised, they will stick into the fire!

More than an hour passed, and it was almost dawn.

Through the efforts of the people of Xiantang Village, there are now a lot fewer locusts on their side.

Even if there were, it wouldn't have much impact on the rice fields.

But even so, the village chief still only let some of the people go back to rest first, and the rest continued to watch for two hours.

After two hours, the shift will be handed over again!

Liu Ye and Ye Chu came back in the early hours of the morning, and they didn't have long to rest after they came back, and they started to get busy.

It's just that this time the two sisters-in-law were not busy going to the fields, but were busy preparing something to eat.

The two of them didn't know how many men there were in Xiantang Village, and it was not easy to make breakfast for so many people.

So she made a share of seven or eight people, basically for the people who guarded their fields!
