Jiang's mother was not annoyed when she was said, but looked proud: "If you want to retreat, there will be nothing to eat, those locust eggs in the rice field; Thanks to my family's honey and intelligence, she went to school in books and solved problems for me. ”

As soon as these words came out, the villagers looked at each other.

At the mention of locusts, the faces of the people were full of anger, and they wanted to destroy these things.

It's a pity that locusts are nimble, extremely numerous, and flying beasts in the sky; If you really deal with it, it will be them who will suffer.

Can this chicken really work on locusts?

One of the old ladies asked tentatively, "Locust eggs?" Is this chicken really useful for damned things? ”

Jiang Mi, who was sitting next to her, saw this, her eyes lit up slightly; This is simply a sleepy pillow, and she is worried about how to let the villagers buy it, but her mother solves this problem for her.

"Not really!" Jiang's mother was proud, and the decibel of her speech also increased a lot: "This is written in a book, can it not work?" ”

Jiang's mother has a steady personality and never tells lies; The old man in Hongyang Village watched her grow up with his own eyes, and he was still somewhat convinced when he spoke.

Everyone's eyes fell on Jiang Mi, and they were more or less hesitant.

A few days ago, they heard about the Jiang family's Qingyun Village, the Jiang family's daughter was pampered by her family, born obese, arrogant; obviously has a bad background, but she lives the life of a young lady.

But Jiang Mi's current performance in Hongyang Village is not out of line, but she has a kind personality, and often takes some desserts for the children in the village to eat, and everyone treats her quite well.

But they were still skeptical of what they said, after all, they had a hard life, and they didn't have much money on them; There are two or three old hens in the house, and they are all in good condition.

"Aunties might as well try putting a few hens in the rice paddy field and giving it a try." Jiang Mi echoed beside him.

"What if the chicken eats the ripe rice?" A villager asked.

In the end, if the locust eggs have not been solved by then, and they eat all the rice in the rice field, then won't they gain more than they lose?

Jiang Mi pursed her lips, not intending to convince the villagers completely, but just gave them a preventive shot: "It's better to let the chickens eat the rice than the locusts." ”

When the villagers heard this, they also felt that there was some truth in what they said, the fertilizer and water did not flow into the fields of outsiders, and those locust eggs were cheaper, so it was better to add you and these beasts cheaply.

Just as they were struggling, Liu Ergou had already pulled Jiang Mu and Jiang Mi towards the village.

"The girl of the Jiang family is right, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders; If you cheapen those damned things, you might as well give them a few old hens to eat, and maybe lay a few more eggs. ”

"That's it, I'll put the chickens in the field tomorrow and try it."

……

You say everything I say, and some of you plan to try it.

However, some villagers who are living in extreme poverty have some worries, and their hearts are up and down, and they don't know what to do.

At the door of Jiang's house.

Liu Ergou helped the Jiang family and put all these chickens and ducks in the yard: "Aunt Jiang, I'll go back first, there is still a bunch of work waiting for me to do at home." ”

As he spoke, he led the ox cart and prepared to go home.

"Wait!"

didn't take a few steps, and there was a call from Jiang Mu behind him; Liu Ergou paused, looked at Jiang's mother who ran out and asked, "Is there anything else wrong with my aunt?" ”

"Boss, bring twenty-five chickens and ducks to the second dog to bring back." Jiang's mother was afraid that Liu Ergou would leave, so she grabbed Liu Ergou's wrist and commanded Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan understood, quickly took out a cage from the kitchen, and neatly stuffed the chickens and ducks into it.

"Aunt Jiang, no, this is too precious." Liu Ergou was taken aback, and was about to struggle to leave as he spoke.

Although he is not bright-minded, he also knows that he can't take advantage of others again and again.

Jiang's mother didn't think so, and said bitterly: "I know that your father's body is boneless, and he can't do any farm work, and the burden of the family is on you, if you refuse, I will never take your ox cart next time." ”

After speaking, he deliberately stared at him with a blank face.

Liu Ergou's family is the most difficult life in the village, his father has poor legs and feet, and his mother can't do much farm work, so he took on a lot of housework at a young age.

Jiang's mother felt sorry for this child, and with this condition, she naturally chose to help more.

All the good things were said by Jiang's mother, and Liu Ergou naturally had no reason to refuse.

Looking down at the chickens and ducks in the cage, Liu Ergou suddenly burst into tears; In this era of insufficient food and clothing, there are still people who take care of his family.

"Aunt Jiang..."

"Okay, okay, hurry up and go back with your things." Mother Jiang waved her hand impatiently, she was really a little unaccustomed to seeing a big man crying in front of him.

……

The news that chickens and ducks could restrain locusts spread throughout Hongyang Village within half a day.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yan was fenced in the yard according to the request of the little sister, divided into two areas, and raised chickens and ducks.

Jiang Mi originally wanted to help with it, but the eldest brother was reluctant to let her do it, so let her find a shady place and watch her do it.

Jiang Yan has a very strong hands-on ability, but he has made a rough prototype in a few quarters of an hour.

And Jiang Mi was sitting in the courtyard with her eyes closed, but she was actually bargaining with the system: "The method of restraining locusts, one or two, it is better to teach it to me together!" ”

[Please establish correct values for the host, and don't think about good things like pies falling from the sky]

The system looks like a fair and selfless prefectural order.

Jiang Mi pouted, secretly scolded the system for being stingy in her heart, and when she turned her head, she saw her grandfather who appeared outside the hospital, and quickly stood up and greeted: "Grandpa? ”

Zhu Qiancheng looked at the clucking chickens in the yard, and said with a smile: "I heard Huali say that these things can restrain the locusts in the field, so I came to take a look." ”

It was the first time I had heard that poultry were the natural enemies of locusts; What the girl said was always believed.

Jiang Mi comprehended, took out 50 chickens and ducks that had been prepared a long time ago from the yard, and put them in front of Zhu Qiancheng: "My mother has already prepared for your grandfather, just waiting for you to come and get it." ”

Seeing this, I took out half a tael of silver from my arms and put it on the table, and said with emotion: "I can't take it for nothing, this is a little heart; I don't know enough, but that's all I have. ”

Looking at the silver on the table, Jiang Mi was flattered, and said with a smile: "The family doesn't talk to each other, grandpa, you can take it, this is also a little bit of my mother's heart, if you don't take it, when the time comes, when my mother comes back, I will feel better." ”

Don't forget to make a bitter gourd face when you say it.

This immediately made Zhu Qiancheng cry and laugh, knowing Jiang Mi's intentions, Zhu Qiancheng did not refuse again, and took the silver back: "Nacheng, since it is a piece of my daughter's heart, I will take it." ”
