Chapter 183: Mass Governance

"Let Dabai go to two acres there, that place is raw land, and it is not possible to break the duck's head. The ducks on the river beach are used to running, so let the two old ducks take them, and nothing should happen. Du Mei pursed her lips and thought about it.

"Well, just do what my sister says." Du Ying nodded in agreement.

"Guizi and I will go first with Dabai, you are familiar with the ducks, pick some sturdy ones, and take them with peaches to the river beach." Du Mei instructed, turning to find the food bowl.

The ducks, who had grown up together since childhood, were now about to separate them, and they panicked and quacked. Du Ying couldn't do it, so she just waited to divide the duck shed into two, carried the duck's neck, and forcibly separated the timid ducks, and the ducks on both sides didn't know why, and pecked Du Ying in horror.

"Sister, hurry up and take Dabai away!" Du Ying shouted, the duck pecked people, pecked a purple pimple, and if it was longer, she was afraid that she would not be able to cover it.

"It's coming, it's coming." Du Mei led the big white, and the ducks in his group quieted down and followed out the door. Du Gui walked behind to prevent the ducks from falling behind.

When the other ducks saw that the duck head was gone, they also wanted to follow, but they were stopped by the plank, and could only quack. After waiting for about half a cup of tea, Du Ying also led the ducks out, because the two fields were in opposite directions, so he was not afraid of encountering a flock of ducks.

The ducks were frightened all morning, and now they were still empty, and they had just tasted it last night, and now they were tempted by the deliciousness, and when they arrived in the field, they did not want Du Mei and Du Gui to rush, and they got into it, and ate it quickly.

The villagers in the surrounding fields were dumbfounded, and when they saw the ducks eating locusts, they were not only surprised but also envious. Are Du Mei's ducks gods, and how do they know to eat locusts?

The villagers went down to the field with four or five members of the family, and started work with about two hands, and they were only busy working on one acre of land in the morning, and they flew in front and behind. And Du Mei's family has nearly 70 ducks moving their beaks together, and they have eaten two acres of land in half an hour.

"Sister Meizi, this ......" The eldest girl's acre of land is not far away, she saw only Du Mei and Du Gui coming from a distance, she was afraid that they would not be busy, and wanted to come and see. When she saw the ducks eating locusts in the field, she was so stupid that she couldn't speak.

"Big girl, I'm so busy these days, how are you in the field?" Du Mei grabbed the big girl's hand and asked.

"It's okay, my mother and Xiaoya are here." The big girl blinked and came back to her senses.

"The little girl is too young, and the master and mother are not in good health, why do you come to the field, you let them go back quickly, I will drive the ducks to your field for a while, and I will have to work on a stick of incense." Du Mei said hurriedly.

"This ...... The ...... girl was a little embarrassed, she wanted to help, but she didn't expect to ask Du Mei to help her.

"What's the ink, go quickly." Du Mei waved at her.

“…… Well. The eldest girl twitched her nose and responded movingly, she didn't know what to thank Du Mei, she had to follow her all the time.

The eldest girl and the little girl really saw the ducks eating locusts in her field, so they went back happily. The eldest girl said that she wouldn't leave anything, and insisted on staying to help, but Du Mei couldn't persuade her, so she had to give up. It just so happened that the days were getting bigger and bigger, and she was afraid that Du Gui would be too young and prone to heat stroke, so she sent her home to help Xu's cook.

The second stunned family has two acres of land, in previous years he was lazy, did not care much about the harvest in the field, and his mother is too old to go to the field, often more weeds than rice. This year, he couldn't stand Du Mei's scolding, and just started serving the field

color, and met this menacing locust plague.

He alone is twelve hours without eating or sleeping, and he can't catch the locusts in the field, he is not popular on weekdays, and other people are eager to give birth to eight hands to catch insects, where can he control him, the second stunned man had to hang his head and run to Du Mei to see if she could help.

He did not go to Du Mei's house to look for it, but only to the fields. When he saw that there were only a few locusts in Du Mei's two acres of fields, and the rice was obviously better than the field next to him, he knew that Du Mei had a good way, he looked around cursoly, and did not see Du Mei's figure, so he shouted anxiously: "Meizi, Meizi!" ”

"What's the name of the ghost?" The eldest girl ran from the ridge and whispered to him.

"Where's the plum?" The second stunned grabbed the big girl and asked anxiously.

"Panic what! In my field. The eldest girl broke away from his hand and pointed at it from afar.

"Oh." The second stunned man stretched his neck to look, trotted through the ridge, and went to Dumei.

"This ...... This ......" The expression of the second stunned man was the same as that of the previous eldest girl, and he was speechless in surprise.

"Do you want to catch it at home?" Du Mei looked at him with his mouth open and stunned, and thought it was really funny.

"Uh-huh." The second stunned nodded like pounding garlic. Obediently, let the ducks catch locusts, this idea, I'm afraid only Du Mei can come up with it, and only Du Mei's ducks can do it.

"It's past noon, and the ducks are full by now." Du Mei looked at the duck, it really couldn't hold on anymore.

"Okay, okay, anytime." The second stunned man smiled, and the rice he had carefully planted in the first year was finally saved.

"Meizi, can you exterminate the locusts in my house later?" Aunt Zhang from the field next door came over and asked with a smiling face.

"The three of us have a friendship, how can anyone use our ducks, what if the ducks are broken!" The second stunned didn't wait for Du Mei to speak, the first one quit, crossed his waist, and pushed Aunt Zhang's words back.

"Aunt Zhang, it's not that I don't help, I'll have to help Aunt Fang's family later, I'm afraid I won't be able to arrange your family." Du Mei smiled and declined.

"Let's give some duck food, isn't it okay to be paid?" Aunt Zhang is such a stingy person, it can make her break the bank, it is really a very tricky thing.

"No, no, no, the ...... of the folks in our township" Du Mei waved his hand again and again, this is a little cheap, why bother.

"Two liters of rice per acre of land!" The second stunned didn't wait for Du Mei to finish speaking, and rushed to say.

"You kid, you eat human flesh and don't spit out bones!" Aunt Zhang was anxious and angry, and scolded.

"It's not that you said you want to pay the wages, otherwise, you would still go to the field and catch it yourself." The second stunned plucked out his ears and rolled his eyes.

"What are you doing, aren't you making enemies for me?" Du Mei whispered reproach.

"I'm obviously giving you prestige, these Diao people, even the patriarch can't be called, you still want them to remember you in the future!" The second stunned man also whispered.

The big girl snorted and laughed, when it comes to Diao Min, he is also on the list.

"Meizi, do you see if you can do it less, can you do it in one liter?" Aunt Zhang scolded for being stunned, but when she saw the three of them muttering, she approached and looked at Du Mei with a pleading face.

"Okay, one liter is one liter, but you catch it yourself first, and wait for the duck to control its belly." Du Mei didn't want to collect food, but since she had already spoken out, she couldn't refute it all.

After all, he was thinking about her.

"Yes, yes." Aunt Zhang smiled as if a chrysanthemum had bloomed on her face.

"Ah, that's too little." The second stunned man pulled Du Mei's clothes and signaled not to reduce the price.

"Humph!" Aunt Zhang, who had Du Mei's permission, was bold, snorted angrily, and walked away.

"Hey, you ......" The second stunned man rolled up his sleeves and was about to reason with Aunt Zhang, but was stopped by Du Mei with a look.

Seeing that the ducks had already searched the field of the eldest girl's house, Du Mei called out the ducks and hurried to the field of the second stunned man's house.

Du Mei put the duck in the field, although the second stunned man had done his best to serve the crops, but the field lacked fertilizer, and the rice grew sparsely, it was estimated that it would be fine in less than half an hour. Du Mei asked the eldest girl to tell her mother, so as not to find a hurry when the food was delivered.

Fang's family has five acres, and she and Du Jiasuo have both gone to the field. Looking at the locusts in the field, she wiped her tears with her sleeve while catching insects, and saw that the rice in the field was full of ears, but the rice leaves were gnawed by the locusts and were full of holes~ eyes, and the ears were also bitten off a lot, half of which floated on the water surface of the rice field. For a peasant woman, there is nothing more sad for her than seeing her food being wasted and having nothing to do.

"Aunt Fang, I'm here to help you cure the locusts." After lunch, Du Mei brought the duck from the field of Erjingzi's house.

"What's the rule?" Fang Shi looked at Du Mei and the duck behind her, and asked suspiciously.

"You'll find out later." Dumay drove the ducks into the field.

"What is this?" Fang was surprised to see the ducks entering the field, scattering in all directions, and swallowing locusts when they saw them, but they did not eat the ears of rice.

With the help of the ducks, Fang could finally come up from the field, to be precise, she climbed up. She has a lot of fields and little labor, so she is naturally anxious, and she goes down to the field when the sky is bright, and at noon she gnaws a cold nest in the middle of the field, which is considered lunch. I had been standing in the water for four or five hours, and my legs were so swollen that they didn't look like my own. Du Mei stepped forward to help, dragged her to the ridge of the field, made her lie on her back, and she helped her massage her legs.

"Plums." Fang Shi screamed softly, mixed with a heavy nasal voice, she only called this once, and then stopped talking, but a line of tears slipped silently from the corners of her eyes.

Du Mei knew that she was thinking of the dead twig, and in order to avoid mentioning her sadness, Du Mei told her about teaching the duck to eat locusts last night, and tried to be as witty and funny as possible, until Fang Shi was amused.

"This ...... What's wrong with you! Du Jiasuo saw that Du Mei drove the duck off the field, so he came up from another field, he looked at Fang's situation, and asked a little worriedly.

"Uncle Jiasuo, it's okay, Aunt Fang just stood for too long, and her blood was blocked, I'll just massage it." Du Mei tilted his head and gave him a reassuring smile.

"This locust plague has made people sleepy and lacking, and if it is not done well, the autumn grain harvest will be lost." Du Jiasuo frowned and said worriedly. He was also tired, so he sat down next to him, took out his cigarette stick from behind his waist, lit it, and took a sip to relieve his fatigue.

"Keep as much as you can." Du Mei looked at the ducks in the field and said helplessly.

"Looking at the locusts today, it seems that there are fewer of them, and I don't know why?" Fang's leg was better, so she pinched it herself, she knew that Du Mei had a hard day, and she couldn't bear to ask her to do more. 2k reading web
