Chapter 21: Worry about everything

Zhang Guangming said to his daughter in a gentle tone: "I'm going to discuss something with the captain, my father is very busy."

You should carefully observe how beneficial birds and beneficial animals catch pests that harm crops, and tell your parents about them when you get home. ”

The children nodded happily in agreement. "Go and be a field protector!"

"Okay, we'll bring back grasshoppers and rootworms to cook and eat." Wen Ya clapped her little hands excitedly and said. "We're going to have meat to eat!"

After she said that, she and Wen Hui took one of her sister Wen Jun's hands, and sang a children's song while walking upside down: Learn from Lei Feng's good example......

Dad shouted at the children's backs, "Don't catch the beneficial insects." ”

"Oh, got it." They replied aloud, then flicked their pigtails again, laughed and almost trotted, and walked happily out of the village.

When they came to a cotton field, they saw grasshoppers eating cotton leaves.

The four sisters looked closely at one of the grasshoppers, with a pair of compound eyes on its triangular head, slender antennae in the middle of the eyes, and three single eyes on the antennae heels to form a triangle.

It had four spiky legs underneath it, one after the other.

Zhang Wenya said softly: It is probably so long because it is easy to bounce.

Wen Hui whispered: "Look, there are a pair of powerful wings on the back of the grasshopper. ”

The sisters saw that there were three different colors of grasshoppers next to them, some of them were green, some were brown, and some were flower-colored.

There is a saying: "People eat green ants, and flowers feed ducks." The eldest sister introduced her younger sisters, "In other words, people can eat green grasshoppers, but not flower grasshoppers, so they have to feed the grasshoppers to the ducks." ”

The three sisters saw that the grasshopper was eating wild vegetables with its sharp mouth.

Wen Jun suddenly whispered: "Eldest sister and second sister, look at it, there is a frog jumping towards this grasshopper." ”

The sisters didn't even dare to come out, staring intently at the frog, only to see the frog jumping and jumping, jumping to a place a foot away from the grasshopper and stopping, and then with a pair of bulging eyes, to see where the grasshopper was, suddenly pounced on it, and bit the grasshopper's back at once.

The frog opened its mouth wide and ate the dying pest.

This frog is not very old, and it has eaten several grasshoppers.

The sisters immediately cheered secretly.

The frog seemed to have eaten enough, and jumped into the grass beside it.

The frog opened its mouth and breathed, its round belly slumping together.

Suddenly, they saw another vole and crept towards the frog.

Wen Ya's eyes were quick, and she threw the basket in her hand at the vole, and the vole immediately fled.

While the sisters were gathering grass and wild vegetables, they brought out the rootworms that were eating the roots of the cotton, and the sisters shook them off to the ground and prepared to put them in small bottles and take them home to cook and eat.

I saw the cuckoo next to them fly not far away, looking greedily at the root-cutting worms in the ground.

Wen Ya asked her sisters to slowly step aside to watch, and the cuckoo flew very fast, but it fell silently, eating the pests one by one.

Then the cuckoo looked at the four sisters: "coo-coo" and chirping.

They jumped up and giggled and said, "Oh, it's called our aunt!" Call us Auntie! ”

"After a meal, it still knows gratitude!" The eldest sister said with admiration.

After discussing with Gui Xiaobao, Zhang Guangming decided that this time he had to come up with a tough way to punish the bad guys in the village who disturbed the unity of the villagers.

When he got home, he saw that all four of his daughters were eating cooked pests with relish.

He couldn't help but praise the children and said, "You can come up with something that not only regulates your life, but also eliminates pests and protects crops in such a difficult time."

Well, yes, it's a triple win! ”

The children's young and delicate faces were full of a sense of accomplishment, and they all smiled happily at their father.

The father was astonished when he saw the children about to eat a small animal with chopsticks, and hurriedly said, "How dare you eat such a lazy toad?" When catching a toad, if the eyes are injured by its venom, it will cause swelling of the eyes in the lightest, blindness in the worst cases, and shock after skin poisoning! ”

As soon as he said this, the children were so frightened that they immediately put down their chopsticks.

He also told his daughters about many small animals and poisonous plants that could not be eaten.

Then Zhang Guangming asked the children to answer a question, how many small animals and plants in nature are inedible?

Dad heard the children say, "Grasshoppers, toads, spiders...... These critters are not to be eaten; Rice seedlings, wild mushrooms, wild gourds...... These plants are not edible.

Father nodded in satisfaction.

He also told the children that you should not only learn a lot of knowledge in nature, but also keep these precautions in mind.

He wanted to hurry to the brigade to hold a meeting of the cadres of the large and small teams.

Let the squads go out again to eliminate pests and voles in the crops.

The cadres of the brigade also went to the experimental field to do these jobs.

It was already evening when I finished my work, and the sky was cloudy again, and after a while, it began to rain moderately.

Originally, Zhang Guangming planned to hold a meeting of the members of the brigade team in the evening to discuss what tough methods should be used to punish the bad people in the village.

But the rain disrupted his plans.

The next day, as soon as Zhang Guangming went out, he saw the flowers on both sides of the road, verdant and dripping, and the fragrance of flowers overflowed to his face, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's really refreshing!

He walked towards the brigade with a few steps, and when he passed by the door of Zhao Wu's house, he suddenly heard Zhao Wu's wife Li Duoduo crying loudly: "Oh, my mother! I can't live this day! Don't you bastard know that Zhang Zhishu strictly forbade villagers to gamble?

And you are obsessed with it, and you knowingly commit it.

You lost the food you eat, the clothes you wear, and the chickens, ducks and geese you eat at home, and now you lose the elm bed where our family is lying, and you let our whole family lie on the ground to sleep?

You say......"

Zhao Wu was so angry that he took off his shoes and beat his son, and said angrily: "The whole family has raised you as a baby since you were a child!"

I didn't expect that you bad calf has grown into a loser's bastard, see if I don't kill you. ”

Son Zhao Xiaobao said with a hippie smile while dodging around: "I carried it again this time, and I lost the fucking bet on the broken bed of elm."

But what? It doesn't matter, next time, I'll win you back a lot of money, and by that time, I'll definitely buy my parents a fragrant new sandalwood bed, and that's it! Dad, what are you doing with your eyes in your eyes?

And Mom, why are you crying wolf? ”

Zhang Guangming heard that his family was babbling loudly in the courtyard, so he hurried to Zhao Wu's house.

As soon as he entered the door, he said, "It seems that the gambling behavior in our village has not been stopped."

Zhao Xiaobao, tell me, who else is gambling with you?

I'll ask them to return to you all the food, clothing, and other things you lost in your bet. ”

Zhao Xiaobao nodded his head, but said in a firm tone: "No, I am a righteous person, and I never betray my friends!" They won't ask for anything they have lost in a bet. ”

Zhao Wu grabbed his son's collar and said sharply: "If your Uncle Guangming asks you, you should tell it honestly, otherwise, I will send you to the police station!" ”

Li Duoduo held his son's hand with his hand, begging, crying and shouting: "Even if your parents beg you?" Xiaobao, just say it, oh? The son shook his head. She frightened her son and said, "If you don't tell me who gambles with you, then your mother will die in front of you." ”

Zhang Guangming hurriedly persuaded her: "Sister-in-law, you can't find a short-term meeting." ”

Zhao Xiaobao blinked, with a very helpless expression, and said, "That...... Okay, I'll just say no. The people who gambled with me were Zhang Changsheng and Yin Jixiang, as well as Qin Dongyun, who had just dropped out of school. ”

Zhang Guangming said very sternly: "You hurry up and call them all over, just say I'm waiting at your house!" Xiaobao bowed his head and ran out, and after a while, he called several people.

After a while, a few gamblers came in a reluctant manner.

Zhao Wu and his wife glared at them, and their eyes showed a look of great annoyance towards these people.

Zhang Guangming said with a serious face: "Changsheng, auspicious, who swore in front of me, 'I will never gamble again, and resolutely change some bad habits!'" But why are you gambling again? ”

When they heard this, they all hung their heads and did not dare to raise their heads.

Zhang Changsheng immediately said: "We will return all the things that won Zhao Xiaobao to him."

From now on we really don't gamble anymore. ”

After he said that, he grabbed Yin Jixiang and Qin Dongyun's arms.

The two of them also quickly said that they would never gamble again.

Zhang Guangming severely criticized them and said: "Remember what you said, once you go to the brigade for a meeting." ”

They knew it must be a meeting that was being criticized.

Zhao Wu's family kept saying: "Thank you Zhang Zhishu for bringing back all the things my son lost in betting." Thank you so much! ”

Zhang Guangming said as he walked out, "What are you thankful for?" I, the village official, should admit my mistake to you, and this is still my dereliction of duty. I'm going to a brigade meeting to get this matter done once and for all. ”

Qin Dongyun lowered his head in shame, and followed Zhang Guangming out of Zhao's door.

Zhang Changsheng and Yin Jixiang lowered their heads with red faces, and trotted away with a look of shame.

Zhang Guangming shouted at Qin Dongyun sharply, and he shuddered.

Zhang Zhishu changed to a gentle tone and asked, "Nephew Dongyun, tell me, what is your ideal?" ”

"Me, my dream is to grow up to be a scientist!"

"Then why don't you go to school?" He didn't seem to be so scared anymore.

He replied with a helpless expression: Because the family can't afford to pay it......
