"What? Armyworms? Hearing Yunzhu say that the insect found was a armyworm, Ning Lin was suddenly surprised and even dropped the herbs in his hand, "If it's really a armyworm, it's not easy to do, it is said that the last time there was a armyworm was my grandfather's meeting, and my family hasn't figured out a medicine that can cure armyworms over the years." ”

"It's a sticky worm, I don't know it, but my grandfather recognizes it." After listening to Ning Lin's words, Yun Zhu opened his mouth to confirm, it seems that the method in his hand is the only way to cure armyworms.

"Alas, I'm afraid that this year's harvest is over!" Sighing, although Ning Lin had never seen armyworms, but he had heard of them, he sighed heavily, "If this matter is confirmed, it must be reported to the government as soon as possible, otherwise when it is harvested in August and September, I am afraid that I will not be able to pay taxes at all." ”

Don't look at Ning Lin's young age, sometimes he talks like an adult, Yun Zhu has to sigh, ancient people are really precocious.

Think about it, some of the countrymen are only thirteen or fourteen years old and start to talk about marriage, and when the woman is fifteen and Lu, she will get married, and generally sixteen or seven will be the mother and father, where is like modern, sixteen or seventeen love is early love.

The two sat down and talked again, and the content of the topic was nothing more than around the sticky worm, not so much talking, but Ning Lin said, and Yun Zhu listened.

After a while, the sound of wheels came, Ning Lin put down the medicinal herbs in his hand and walked towards the door, Yun Zhu knew that it must be Ning Yi who was back, so she also stood up and followed behind Ning Lin.

"Yunzhu is here." Parking the donkey cart at the door, Ning Yi said hello to Yun Zhu, Yun Zhu looked at his face, it didn't seem to be very good, it seemed that he had determined that the insect in the field was armyworm.

Handed over the donkey cart to Ning Lin, and asked him to feed the donkey, and then send it to the neighbor's house, Ning Yi entered the yard, drank a few sips of water first, and then sat down with a frown.

"Uncle Ning, listen to Brother Ning Lin, your land has been infested? Is it a armyworm? "Although the land is rented, it actually belongs to the Ning family's land, so Yunzhu asks such questions.

"Huh? How do you know it's a armyworm? Your family has also suffered? Hearing Yun Zhu ask this, Ning Yi hurriedly looked up at her, Yun Zhu nodded, and now Ning Yi's face became more and more bad.

"Alas! As soon as this armyworm comes out, I don't know what the harvest of this year's crops will look like! Ning Yi sighed, saying the same thing as Ning Lin, no wonder, this armyworm is not to mention this ancient time, even modern times are extremely headache pests, Yunzhu has read some reports in his previous life, it is said that in order to control these pests, the Celestial Empire has to come up with tens of millions of soft sister coins every year.

"I have to go to the town tomorrow, this kind of thing, you have to report it as soon as possible, will you go tomorrow?" After a moment of silence, Ning Yi spoke again, asking Yunzhu.

"Well, I'll go tomorrow, and then I won't go during this time, there is an insect plague, or take care of the work in the village first, and I'll talk to Qiu Niang tomorrow." nodded, although it is a pity that I can't make money for a while, but now the things in the field are the most important, although I have a way, I don't know if it will work in ancient times, if it works, it will be fine, if it doesn't work, I'm afraid that this year's food will ......

Thinking of this, Yun Zhu couldn't help frowning.

"Don't worry too much, maybe there's a way this year?" Looking at Yun Zhu's appearance, Ning Yi's face barely showed a smile, "We adults are in everything, you don't have to worry too much about it, a child." ”

Hearing Ning Yi say this, Yun Zhu's eyebrows softened slightly, "Uncle Ning, I heard Brother Ning Lin say." Grandpa Ning used to suffer from armyworms, how did he get it at that time? ”

"At that time...... At that time, there was nothing to do but report, and the court had no choice, so not only our village that year, but also many places were infested by insects, and many people were eaten by armyworms because of their crops. Hearing Yunzhu ask, Ning Yi told her what he had heard his fathers say, "At that time, although I had a way, no one was reluctant, not to mention that the insect infestation was already full of insects, so when it was almost October, I did it according to that method, and there were no insects in the second year." ”

"What's the method?" Yunzhu is a little strange, why is he reluctant to do so?

"Who can be willing to burn it with fire? They all have a glimmer of hope that the autumn harvest will be able to get some grain out, even if it is not much, it is better than nothing at all. Hearing Ning Yi say this, Yunzhu has some understanding, it is true that burning is also a way, but this is the case in so many families, and the food has not been completely eaten, so it is normal to be reluctant.

It seems that after using his own method, after the autumn harvest, he should also let his grandfather set fire to the ground, which can not only completely kill insect pests, but also turn the burned bean stalks into fertilizer, so that next year's beans will grow better.

"Didn't you burn the land when you used to harvest the crops?" Speaking of fire, Yunzhu suddenly remembered that in his previous life, his grandmother's family would set fire to it before planting, one was to warm the ground, and the other was to turn the burned things into fertilizer, so that the crops in the field could grow better.

"If you don't burn it, you just dig out the roots of those crops and throw them away, or break them and feed them to the animals." Ning Yi thought for a moment, then shook his head, "After I burned it once, I didn't burn it anymore, it was all dug out like before." ”

"I see." Yun Zhu nodded, and decided in his heart that in the future, he would let Old Man Yun burn the land every year, not for anything else, but for the crops to grow better, if others asked, they would push it to Granny He, anyway, she had died, and others couldn't ask if they wanted to.

"What did you think of?" Seeing Yunzhu nodding, Ning Yi asked with some confusion, these days of getting along with Yunzhu, Ning Yi found that Yunzhu was actually a little girl with a lot of ideas.

"It's okay, I just think the way to burn the fire is good, when I used to be in that village with my mother, there was a Granny He living next door, and the crops in her field grew very well, and people said that she would take care of the crops, but unfortunately, she is now dead." Blinking her eyes, Yun Zhu opened her mouth and said, for her, with Granny He, it seems that she can do a lot of things in the future.

"Indeed, those who can serve grow their crops exceptionally well." Hearing Yunzhu say this, Ning Yi opened his mouth to respond.

After saying a few more words, Ning Lin came back from outside and prepared Zhang Luo's dinner, Yun Zhu quickly got up and said goodbye to the Ning family's father and son, and returned to the Yun family.

In the yard, Zhang was chopping food for livestock, and when he saw Yun Zhu, Zhang pursed his lips, but didn't say anything, which made Yun Zhu a little surprised.

When they returned to the thatched hut in the backyard, Liu was chatting with Yun in the house, and after Yun Zhu came forward to say hello, he sat beside Yun obediently and listened to the two talking.

"The second sister-in-law was well counted by her mother-in-law today, and it is estimated that she will be able to settle down during this time." Hearing Liu's words, Yunzhu understood the reason for Zhang's abnormality today, and his feelings were cleaned up by his grandmother.

"She's too, there's no time for that mouth to settle down." Yun shook his head helplessly, "In the entire family, it is estimated that only the second brother is proud of her." ”

Hearing her mother say this, Yun Zhu smiled secretly in her heart, indeed, in this family, if you want to say who likes the Liu family the most, it must be her second uncle Yun Gang, no matter what the second aunt usually does, he has never expressed any dislike or anything.

"That's right." Hearing what Yun said this, Liu also spoke a little helplessly, "The tempers of the two of them are not good, but I haven't seen them blushing for so many years, you see that your third brother's temperament is usually slow, and we have been married for so many years." ”

When Liu said this, Yun Zhu couldn't help but be a little curious, indeed, since she came here, she had never heard of any quarrels or anything between the two, of course, she didn't hear anyone else, but in her impression, like the character of the second uncle Yun Gang, with the second aunt, even if the two of them are not arguing, it is absolutely impossible to stop, but now it seems that not to say that there is no quarrel, and even Yun Gang is still defending the Liu family everywhere.

Perhaps, this is the so-called Imperial Husband, right? Yunzhu's heart was secretly thinking.

The two sisters-in-law talked again, and they heard the front yard shouting for dinner, Yun looked at Liu's stomach, and then looked at Yun Zhu, "Zhu'er, it's time for dinner, you can help your aunt to the front yard." ”

"Yun Niang, you can also go to the front yard to eat, there are father-in-law and mother-in-law, no one dares to say anything." Hearing Yun say this, Liu stood up from the kang, stretched out his hand and took her hand and said.

"I'm not going, it's good to eat with my pearl in the backyard." Shaking his head, the Yun clan was very persistent in this matter.

Seeing her like this, the Liu family was not reluctant, Yunzhu stepped forward to hold her arm, and said with a smile, "Auntie, let's go, I'll escort you to the front yard for dinner." ”

"You girl." Stretching out his hand to Yun Zhu's forehead, after Liu greeted Yun Shi, he went to the front yard with Yun Zhu, the food had been served to the main house, Yun Wu knew that Liu Shi had gone to the backyard, so he stood at the door of the main house and waited for her.

Seeing Liu and Yun Zhu coming from the backyard, Yun Wu took a few steps forward and took Liu from Yun Zhu's hand, looking at his cautious appearance, Liu's face showed a happy smile.

In the kitchen, Yun Zhu's mother and daughter's food had already been left, Yun Zhu watched Yun Wu and Liu enter the house, and then went to the kitchen to bring out the food and returned to the grass house behind.

"Mother, I have to go to the town with Uncle Ning tomorrow." While eating, Yun Zhu reported the formation of tomorrow to the Yun family.

"You kid, why do you keep running around town?" After listening to Yun Zhu, Yun Shi opened his mouth a little puzzled, during this time, it seems that her daughter is going to the town every once in a while, is it possible that there is something in the town?
