In fact, Liang Chao left, and Ji Huai was relieved. What love is, he doesn't know at all, it's not written in books, teachers don't teach.

And so the days passed peacefully. Midsummer passes, and autumn arrives with cool winds.

The peach and plum trees that had been planted earlier had grown into small trees, their trunks holding up the verdant leaves, and from a distance they looked like green umbrellas.

At first glance, there is such a beautiful scenery in this bleak autumn, which always makes people feel happy.

However, under this greenery, there is a group of fruit tree killers.

It was a kind of caterpillar that was not recorded in any biological books, and Ji Huai's uncle Xu Lang named them "Pian Pian Qing", because in their fruit forest, under the cover of green leaves, there were green insects.

These bugs are very capable of reproducing, and when everyone is unaware of the pest, these bugs multiply in patches.

This kind of insect can still be poisoned with medicine at the beginning, but after a short time there are antibodies, no matter how much medicine is sprayed, it will not help, not to mention that the mountain village has always maintained the primitive farming habits, spraying pesticides is a last resort, can not use pesticides, the people in the village will not use.

My uncle paid an expert to come and see, and the so-called expert shook his head, because this insect has too strong reproductive ability, spraying pesticides does not work at all, and after observing for a few days, he did not find any natural enemies of them, and felt that there was no solution, so he left.

The three of them can only go up the mountain every day to catch insects and observe the habits of insects. In Ji Huai's opinion, the words of experts are not all credible, as far as his observation in the past few days, those experts have taken money and do nothing, saying that they go out to observe the habits of insects every day, but in fact, they are a few people playing poker in the forest.

After observing for more than ten days in a row, the leaves of the peach tree were almost gnawed by insects, but I didn't expect to find the natural enemy of insects for them - a kind of slender-waisted bee.

When his uncle Xu Lang was carrying water, he happened to see a slender bee dragging the big insect to his hive, so he threw the burden at that time and rushed home to tell Ji Mu and Ji Huai the good news.

When the three of them went to the orchard to see, they just saw a bee piercing its tail into the fat body of the insect, as if feeling pain, the insect writhed the fat body, but to no avail, the tail of the slender bee was tightly tied to its body, so that it could not move, and could only let the slender bee put the eggs into its body.

Ji Mu was puzzled: "Why does this bee want to prick people, it's not enough to eat people, but also torture people?" ”

The uncle simply convinced his sister: "That's the slender-waisted bee breeding, implanting its eggs into the body of the worm, and those eggs can absorb the nutrients of the worm and hatch." ”

Ji Mu is also a person who loves to watch TV series, and when she saw this scene, she instantly thought of raising Gu in the Western Regions, and she was so disgusted that she didn't even want to eat dinner.

This method of reproduction is indeed cruel. The bee puts its own eggs into the body of the bug, and the worm does not die, but its appetite decreases day by day, because the bee egg absorbs all its nutrients. When one day the eggs hatch and the young bees break out, the worm is considered dead.

Although cruelty is cruel, the insect plague still needs to be cured. The three soldiers borrowed a lot of money from the villagers to buy the bees.

As batches of slender-waisted bees were put into the fruit forest, the three of them did not let go and took turns to take care of the fruit trees in the forest.

Especially Ji's mother, she ran to the fruit forest five or six times a day, and she didn't even cook. So Ji Huai, who was determined to be a gentleman and a chef, had to start cooking and learn to cook.

However, learning to be a scholar does not mean being a cooking master, and one of the dishes Ji Huai first learned was a simple scrambled egg. Ji Xueba, who has never fried vegetables, doesn't know that he has to put oil before stir-frying, and after heating the pot, he directly knocks the eggs into it and stir-fries, but the eggs are cooked, but most of them are dark, and the eggs stuck to the pot can't be washed off.

In the end, my uncle came back and soaked it in water for a long time before washing it off. The uncle and nephew had to wait for Ji's mother to come back.

Later, Ji Huai didn't believe in evil, and tried a few more times, and finally was able to scramble the eggs quite like that, but the seasoning was still a mess.

After going through the vicissitudes of life, he finally mastered the heat of cooking, and the next thing is the problem of seasoning, after Ji Xueba solved this problem, he can finally make a few simple dishes.

After the orchard stabilized, Ji's mother remembered that there were still two men in the family waiting to be fed. Then she found out that her son could actually cook! Guilt for her!

"Xiaohuai, it's hard for you."

Ji Huai didn't think there was anything for himself, and he was still very pleased to finally light up his cooking skills: "Mom, you work so hard, I always have to share some of it for you." ”

Haven't you heard that students who study abroad and can't cook are sad?! It's always good to have a skill!

Someone happily eats the braised pork ribs he made, enjoying himself. Maybe he won't have a place to live in seclusion in the future, and he will be able to go to the city to work as a cook!

Looking at her son's somewhat smug little expression, Ji's mother smiled, and then thought of something: "Xiaohuai, it's better for you not to go out, it's enough to run a fruit grove at home." ”

Ji Huai didn't expect Ji's mother to say this, he remembered that his mother was a fairly enlightened person! But he didn't show his surprise, just nodded obediently.

What Ji Huai didn't know was that although Ji's mother hoped that her child would have a good future, she was still conservative in her heart, a few days ago she went to the town to buy daily necessities, and saw an old man in rags lying on the ground, she was soft-hearted and bought a few bread for the old man, but the old man said that her child was not suitable for going out, only suitable for the village, and I was afraid that my life would be in danger when I went out.

Ji's mother was not happy when she heard this. As a result, the old man said that she would break her fortune today. Ji Mu originally watched a lot of TV series, and felt that many things would rather be believed than not believed, but when the old man spoke like this, she felt that the old man was lying.

When she got home, she found that her wallet was missing at some point, but fortunately there was no money in it.

Ji Mu believed most of the old man's words, and when she went to look for the old man the next day, the old man was gone, and she asked the people around her, and they all said that they had never seen the old man. Mother Ji felt that the old man should be a master of the world, and specially came to guide her son.

So when she went back, Ji's mother told Ji Huai what she thought in her heart and asked him not to go out. She also knew that her son had read a lot of books, and he must not believe in fortune-telling or something, so she didn't say anything about it, but she really didn't want Ji Huai to go outside.

At this time, Ji Huai didn't know what would happen to him in the future that exceeded his expectations. If you knew...... He couldn't avoid it. Because fate is so magical.
