Chapter 247: From the Liupin Sinong Temple
When Xiangling led Xiao Xianglian home, Jiang had already prepared dinner, looked at Xiangling writhingly, and stopped talking.
Xiangling understood that the Jiang family agreed nine times out of ten, but she was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to tell Xiangling.
Xiangling took the first step and said: "Mother, I have discussed with my eldest brother, this set of Zhuangzi in Chujia Village, as a dowry for me and my eldest brother, let Uncle Changlin live in the Zhuangzi." ”
Jiang's face turned red after a moment, and he said in his heart, it was all his mother who saved a dowry for her daughter, how could any child save a dowry for her mother? Everything that is taken for granted, when it comes to oneself, how can it be inconceivable everywhere?
.
As for Ge Changlin, he rushed to Lizheng's house, saw Chu Lizheng and his family, and squirmed and pinched for a long time without speaking, so angry that Chu Lizheng said angrily: "Changlin, what's the matter with you, just go back if you're fine, I haven't had dinner yet!" ”
Ge Changlin put a large bag of silver on Chu Lizheng's kang, and muttered: "Lizheng, I, I, I want to marry Da Lanzi, please, please help you and your aunt to manage it......"
Although Ge Changlin is in his thirties, he has never married, and Xiaoshan is the child he picked up.
is too unfamiliar with the process of getting married, so I simply entrusted it to the two of them.
"Who are you marrying?" Chu Lizheng was startled and asked again.
Ge Changlin blushed, raised his voice, and repeated.
Chu Lizheng was stunned for a while, and then, opening the palm of his right hand, Lao Huai patted Ge Changlin's shoulder with relief and said, "Good boy, good job!" It's really hard for Chujia Village!! You are now a great hero of Chujia Village! Don't go back at night, I'll treat you to a drink! ”
"Huh?" Ge Changlin was at a loss, and he didn't know how he had become the hero of the whole village after marrying Jiang Dalanzi.
Roche also smiled toothlessly.
The year before last, Chu Li was worried that the Chu family's second room was rich and would slowly leave the village.
It was in response to his words that Chu Xia and Su Xiaoman moved to the county seat after they got married;
Xiangling is engaged to the general, and will definitely not live in Chujia Village in the future;
Only the Jiang family and Xiao Xianglian are left in the Chu family, and Chu Li is worried from time to time that the Jiang family will take Xiao Xianglian and move to the city with Chu Xia.
Now, the Jiang family is married to Ge Changlin, all the worries have been solved, and the Jiang family will never leave Chujia Village again!
Chu Li was in a haze caused by the locust plague, and finally saw a sunny day.
Early the next morning, when dozens of marching tents were set up at the entrance of the village, Chu Lizheng's mood was even more excited, and he felt that with Xiangling, a great nobleman, it was more and more likely that Chujia Village would defeat the locust plague.
After settling the big account, Ling Qingyue made a bitter face and took his more than 200 soldiers from the quartermaster battalion to Xiangling's house.
Knocking on the door of Xiangling's house, Xiangling opened the door early, smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth and said, "You are on time to receive the task?" ”
Ling Qingyue said with a bitter face: "Xiangling, can I change the task?" ”
Xiangling shook her head and said: "This task is very important, it is the second pass of Chujia Village, if your task is completed well, the crops of Chujia Village can be saved; If your task is not completed well, the crops in Chujia Village will not be saved. ”
Xiangling's words were impassioned, which made the soldiers hold their heads high, thinking that they had become the big heroes of Chujia Village.
As a result, when they saw the tasks they had received, they finally knew why their organizers had such a headache.
The task of the quartermaster battalion is simple, it is to ---- chickens.
The Jiang family believes in 'Wong Tai Sin', and Huang Pizi loves to eat chickens, so the Jiang family loves to raise chickens, and later the food shop also consumes a large number of roosters and eggs, making the Xiangling family itself more than 1,000 chickens.
After planning to fight the disaster, Xiangling quickly purchased a lot, and there were more than 2,000 chickens in total.
Chickens are the natural enemies of locusts, and if setting fire to the isolation zone is the first line of defense, letting chickens go into the field to eat locusts is another important line of defense.
The soldiers of the five major and three rough quartermaster offices, each group of five people, each group claimed 50 chickens, a total of 40 groups, like a group of strategic troops, majestic and high-spirited straight to every field in Chujia Village.
.
After Xiangling's command, the fields of Chujia Village were well protected.
When the three nearby villages saw it, they immediately brought Chu Lizheng over and taught them how to fight the locusts.
The fields of the three villages are next to each other, and the Chuli Orthodox Church forms a joint anti-locust village, and the three villages fight the locusts together.
Everything else is easy to learn, but it is just as difficult to learn, that is, Xiangling's chicken, which is equivalent to a combat unit, and there is no other village at all, and it is too late to buy it now.
Chu Li was going home to discuss this matter with Xiangling, and Xiangling immediately decided: "If the locusts outside are not eliminated for a day, our village will have to defend from time to time, help them, that is, help yourself, borrow chickens!" ”
.
The capital sent a total of five Sinong Temples, and first sent them to five counties to exterminate locusts.
As soon as they got off the boat and entered the Jiangbei territory, they encountered a wave of bandits, but fortunately, they brought a lot of soldiers with them, and they were spared.
When he saw the disaster in Jiangbei, his eyes were full of devastation, the people were everywhere, and the sores in his heart were getting deeper and deeper.
The hearts of the five Sinong Temple Cheng have plummeted, how ambitious and heroic they were when they came, and how depressed they are now.
The five Sinong temples were distributed in five counties and went their separate ways.
When Sinong Sicheng, who was sent to Lin'an County, entered the boundary of Linjiang County, his eyes lit up.
Asked the passing villages about the situation, and unanimously praised Chujia Village, saying that everyone was following the example of Chujia Village's locust extermination skills.
When Sinong Sicheng heard this, he didn't report to the county seat, and went directly to Chujia Village to learn about the disaster.
When you come to the junction of Chujia Village, the first thing you see is a separation zone burned with smoked mosquito grass;
On the inside of the isolation zone is a ditch more than two meters wide, in which countless toads are raised, "croaking", which is very noisy;
Further in, there is a large ribbon of flowers and trees with tender yellow flowers, on which countless wasps are attracted to collect honey;
On the village road leading to Chujia Village, the soldiers held branches in their hands and shouted "Goo Goo Goo" in their mouths, and they looked very funny like village women running chickens into the fields;
Groups of children each have a small net made of bamboo strips, and they run around catching locusts, and after catching the locusts, they happily put the locusts into the bamboo tubes held around their waists.
Si Nong Si Cheng hurriedly asked the little maid to call a child and asked, "Why do you want to net locusts?" Is the net finished? ”
The child said bitterly: "In our village, a bamboo tube of locusts is exchanged for three taels of sugar. Originally, a child could exchange three taels of sugar a day, but now five or six children can only exchange three taels of locusts with a net. ”
Si Nong Temple Chenghu suspicious: "There are few locusts in your village, but there are many locusts in other villages, and you may have two taels in one net." ”
The child shook his head like a rattle and said, "Daddy said, Sister Xiangling has to fight for the whole village to exterminate locusts, not only people, money, and food, but we can't trap her!" ”
I didn't expect Chu Xiangling's prestige in Chujia Village to be so high.
Sinong Temple was a little stunned.
The child handed a small bundle of green leaves pinned behind his ears to Sinong Temple and said, "This is for you, tuck it behind your ears like me!" ”
Sinong Si Cheng pressed a small handful of leaves, a little unclear.
The child explained: "There are wasp trees planted around our village, which can sting people at any time, and they have tobacco leaves on them, and the hornets are scared away when they smell it." ”
Si Nong Si didn't know why he asked, "Then eradicate the tree, why do you want to plant it in the village?" ”
The child laughed and said, "These trees are treasures, Sister Xiangling calls them 'Hornet Array'." There are several lines of defense for locust extermination in our village, and the outermost one is called the isolation zone; Further inside, there are toad arrays, hornets, and chicken arrays, and toads, wasps, and chickens all eat locusts......"
The friends were in a hurry and ran away.
Si Nong Si Cheng took a small bundle of tobacco leaves in his hand, and was stunned for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, Sinong Temple Cheng Cai said to his subordinates: "Enter the village, I will live in Chujia Village in the future, and promote the practice of Chujia Village to all villages in the county." ”
