Chapter 195: Harvesting Duck Eggs

Du Mei didn't help much after all, just sat on the side, chatting with Tian, Tian asked her what she did at home on weekdays, and when she knew that Du Mei was doing business in the town, she showed a look of envy.

The rain kept falling, and the Xu family was restless in the center of the house, and the Fang family and Aunt Zhang didn't dare to show the slightest wind in front of her. On this day, Du Shu came to borrow a coat to go to the field to release water, so she asked him to go and see Du Mei. Although Du Shu knew that Du Mei was injured and was recuperating in the Yin family, he didn't dare to say a word, so he had to agree.

After lunch, Du Shu braved the rainstorm barefoot to the house of the village chief Yin, Du Tao was playing with Xiaohuzi in the house, in the kitchen, Du Mei was tilting his head to point to Tian's embroidery, and he was very happy to see him coming.

The rain was too heavy, although Du Shu was wearing a coat and a hat, his whole body was still soaked, Tian hurriedly found the old clothes at home for him to change, washed his wet clothes, put them on the oven to bake, and then turned around to the stove to cut some ginger, and boiled ginger tea on a fire.

"Brother Shu, my mother asked you to come?" Du Mei turned over the clothes on the oven one by one.

"Auntie is worried about you, and then I... We don't feel at ease either, so let's come and see you. Du Shu tugged at his clothes a little crampedly, and there was a hot and wet smell in the room.

"You didn't tell my mother about this, did you?" Dumay asked cautiously.

"No, how dare I." Du Shu stuck out her tongue, if Xu knew that Du Mei was injured, she was afraid that it would be a knife in the sky, and she would come in person.

"Look, I'm all right. You went back and told my mother, but I only said that the rain was too heavy, and Village Chief Yin was afraid that we and the ducks would catch a cold, so he kept us for a few days. Du Mei turned around in front of Du Shu's eyes, she thought, Village Chief Yin is the patriarch's nephew, and her mother will be relieved.

"Well, I know what to say, do you have any medicine?" Du Shu looked at Du Mei carefully, and saw that she was really fine, and the stone in her heart was also put down.

"After eating, my aunt really treats me as a patient, doesn't let me do anything, and just takes care of me every day with food and medicine." Du Mei smiled and looked at Tian who was adding firewood to the stove.

"What are you talking about, if you say it from a small point, we are relatives, if you say it bigger, how much you have helped Yinjia Village, it is not right to take care of you for a few days!" Tian smiled and turned her head to look at the two of them, the fire in the stove reflected her face, and she was flushed.

"Auntie, thank you for taking care of Meizi like this." Du Shu stood up and bowed very seriously.

"Here's what to do! Meizi, you ......" Tian hurriedly stood up, she looked at Du Mei, and then at Du Shu, these two people are the same age, isn't it......

"Auntie, don't mind, Brother Shu just wants to thank you. He was like my own brother, and we grew up drinking my mother's milk together. "Durmela Ladu Shu's sleeve, he made such a big salute, but he didn't want to scare the Tian family.

"Yes, yes, I'm stupid and don't know how to speak." Du Shu looked down in embarrassment and looked at his toes.

When he heard Du Mei say that he was her own brother, he couldn't help but feel a sense of loss in his heart, as bitter as eating a handful of lotus hearts.

"You guys, isn't this all a gesture, what is there to thank you for?" Tian waved his hand disapprovingly and went back to the fire.

Xiaohuzi was tired of playing, so Du Tao carried him to the bed and went to sleep. Then, she came to the kitchen to find Du Mei, and when she saw Du Shu, she immediately turned into a cheerful little bird, chattering non-stop, which more or less dispelled Du Shu's heart

Some haze.

After drinking ginger tea, Du Mei talked for a while, the clothes on the drying cage were already dry, Du Shu saw that the rain outside was getting lighter, and he was afraid of delaying Du Mei's rest, so he hurried back.

Qinghe County has been dry for more than a month, and cracks half a foot deep have dried up in the fields, and this hearty and dripping rain has been raining non-stop for three days and three nights. The ditches and dams outside are all filled with water, and the aquatic plants come to life again, rippling like green silk full of beauties.

On the fourth day, a red sun hung up on the treetops early. A long-lost smile appeared on the faces of the villagers, and Village Chief Yin carried a shovel with a smile early in the morning and went to the field barefoot.

The wound on Du Mei's body has been healed, but the bruise on his forehead has not completely faded. She drove the ducks from the lower room to the yard, and the torrential rain in the past few days has made the ducks sleepy, and as soon as they came out, they circled in the yard and kept barking.

It was the middle of summer, and after the rain, the sun seemed to be a burning furnace, emitting a scorching heat, and soon carried away all the muddy water vapor on the dirt roads in the countryside.

Han Liu went to Xiatang Village in front of Yinjia Village in advance to inform him, in the past few days, Tian has been guided by Du Mei, and her embroidery skills have improved greatly, and she insisted on staying with Du Mei and others for lunch.

After the meal, the head of Xia Tang Village came to pick him up, Du Mei and Du Tao took the duck, bid farewell to the village chief Yin's family, and went to Xia Tang Village, accompanied by Han Liu.

Du Mei drove the duck directly to the rice field, the duck had not opened meat for three days, and this time the duck went down to the field and ate extremely fiercely. And those locusts had nowhere to hide during the three days of heavy rain, and most of the dead and wounded, even if they were lucky enough to survive, because their wings were wet and heavy, they could not fly, and they all entered the belly of the duck.

The village chief Tang was very enthusiastic, and ran back and forth a few times, and the two baskets contained tea hot water, steamed buns, and melons and peaches, all of which were properly prepared, which made Du Mei a little embarrassed.

"Village Chief Tang, everyone's life is not easy, don't be like this." When Village Chief Tang came again, Du Mei hurriedly grabbed him and said.

"This is all the heart of the big guy, you don't shirk it in your own field." Chief Tang said with a smile.

"That's today, Ming'er doesn't want to be like this." The thing has been delivered, and if you insist on not wanting it, it will inevitably be embarrassing for everyone.

"Well, that's good, if you want anything, just tell me." The head of the village Tang responded again and again.

"I don't want anything else, just hot water." Du Mei waved his hand and said. Chief Tang nodded.

"Plum!" The second stunned man stood on the ridge excitedly and waved his hand.

"You're here too?" Du Mei responded with a smile.

"Uncle Mao Da asked me to ask, whether the matter of the guards is still counted." The second stunned man saw the food on the ground, swallowed his saliva, and couldn't walk greedily.

"Naturally, I will talk to Han Zhutou and ask him to allocate two people to you." Du Mei said and walked towards Han Liu in the shade of the tree.

The second stunned man came all the way from Chen Qian Village, his stomach was hungry, he grabbed the steamed bun and devoured it, and took a peach in one hand and gnawed it, until his cheeks bulged.

"You're a starving ghost reincarnated!" Du Mei looked at his eating appearance, frowned and said,

"Can't you just bake me! Belch! The second stunned was not annoyed, and ate by himself, when he was suddenly choked.

"Put down your food and drink some water!" Du Mei looked at the second stunned man with a suffocated face

Red, help him with his luck.

The second stunned person poured two cups of herbal tea water violently, and finally relieved himself and collapsed on the grass.

"You obviously have a big mouth and a small throat!" Dume rolled her eyes at him.

"Then I'll go back." The second stunned touched his mouth and said a little embarrassed.

"Take these and eat them, and bring some to Uncle Maoda." Du Mei put the steamed buns and melons in a basket and handed them to the second stunned.

"This ...... You're welcome. The second stunned man took it with a smile and left with the two officials.

Since the night of Laowangzhuang, the village chiefs and patriarchs of each village have paid 12 points of caution, coupled with the locusts themselves killed and injured in the rainstorm, Dumei has been very successful in exterminating locusts, and Shantang Village and Xiaowangzhuang have been wiped out one after another.

Du Mei's route to exterminate locusts is to turn around slowly, and as long as she exterminates the locusts in Qidaogou in the last village, she can go home!

And Qian Maoda and their progress is also good, Lao Wangzhuang, Liangjiawan, and Zhoujiapeng have done it all the way, and it has been smooth sailing, Qian Maoda has to keep accounts every day, remembering how much he has done and how much money or grain he can get.

On this day, the ducks were locked up in the courtyard of the village chief Wu of Qidaogou, and the ducks were restless at night. Under Han Liuyi's repeated guarantees, Du Mei went back to the house and slept with peace of mind.

Early the next morning, Du Tao let the ducks go out, and Du Mei suddenly found that dozens of round duck eggs were left on the grass mat where the ducks were sleeping!

"Peaches!" Du Mei reached out and picked up a duck egg and shouted excitedly.

"Sister, sister!" Du Tao turned his head to look, rushed over, looked at the duck eggs on the straw mat, and had tears in his eyes.

Da Bai staggered to Du Mei's side and pecked the hem of her skirt with a flat mouth, as if to show merit. Du Mei squatted down with a smile, took it in his arms, stroked its smooth white feathers, and stared at its small round eyes.

Du Mei borrowed a basket from Village Chief Wu, and when it was full, there were still a few left, and Du Mei generously gave it to Village Chief Wu's wife and asked her to add vegetables at night.

"Peach, you and Han Zhutou are guarding here, I'll send the duck eggs home first." Du Mei carried the basket and put a piece of clothing over the eggs.

"Well, sister, go quickly, my mother will be very happy if she wants to know." Du Tao smiled and showed her snow-white little tiger teeth.

Du Mei had been away for a few days, and she was very worried about her home. These days, the sisters were exterminating locusts in the nearby village, and they had to watch the ducks not leave, and the road was far away, and she still had a wound on her face, so she never returned home.

Today she harvested her first nest of duck eggs, and she had to go back and share the long-awaited joy with her mother and sisters. Du Mei was full of joy in her heart, carrying the basket, and walking fast under her feet unconsciously.

"Mother!" Du Mei didn't care about wiping the sweat on his head, and shouted excitedly at the courtyard.

"Plum?" Xu still had flour on her hands, and when she saw Du Mei outside the courtyard, she hurriedly trotted to open the door.

"Sister!" Du Tao was probably burning the fire, and there was a black ash on his face.

"Why are you back now? What about peaches? Xu Shi looked at Du Mei carefully and asked cautiously.

"Peaches are still in Qidaogou, I'm here to deliver good things!" Dumay entered the door with the basket.

"What's that?" Du Gui is a little gluttonous cat, she sniffs her nose, as if she smells something. 2k reading web
