Chapter 211: Sweet
Jiang Zhi and I had already discussed the strategy of catching the locusts, so after the first wave of locusts landed, Jiang Zhi shouted "start" and we rushed out of the shack.
Li Cheng and the others also rushed out.
We started to divide and work together. Jiang Zhi and I are in charge of the locusts in the air.
Jiang Zhi used a big net in his hand to draw in the air, while quietly transporting the deterrent, and then I opened a hemp bag, filled with the locusts that Jiang Zhi netted and intimidated, secretly and quietly transported the new ability, rolled a large group of locusts into the space, circled a place for them on the grass, and used spiritual power to make them only move in it. When there was enough space, I threw the rolled locusts into the ring for storage.
Li Cheng and the others were responsible for the safety of our rice in sections, and the man held a big broom in his hand and scratched it on the shelf. There was already a thick layer of locusts crawling on the shelf, so they swept a lot of them, Jiang Ma and a few women opened a bag behind them, containing locusts, and when the sack was full, they tied it with their hands and feet, and then took a sack to continue loading.
In this way, we kept fighting against the locusts that kept coming, and when we had almost cleaned up, we withdrew to the hut to rest for a while, and when a thick layer of locusts fell on the shelves, we rushed out again and began a new round of fighting.
The battle lasted until the evening, when it was really dark, and the locust plague was over, but there were still some locusts left in the mountains and forests behind the village and on the edge of the grass to continue to gnaw on the green leaves.
At this time, the people in the village have called it a day. We dragged our tired bodies and pushed today's harvest back home. As for the chickens, ducks and geese in the field. I'd better wait until tomorrow morning to catch it.
After returning home, Jiang Zhi received the bag of locusts in the ring, where it can be kept fresh, and a bag outside is enough to eat for a while.
Mother Jiang and Mother Qu took Weiwei to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and at this time of the day, everyone didn't eat well, at noon. I just nested in the shack and nibbled on two rice balls by myself, and now I finally rested, and I wanted to have a good meal.
I went with me to the kitchen to help. I can't let my two mothers work, so I'll rest by myself, but as soon as I entered the kitchen door, everyone kicked me out. Jiang's mother said, "Don't help you." You just have to take care of yourself. ”
I saw that I was so unappreciated, shrugged my shoulders, and went back to the house to lie down, I was really tired today, and the workload of this day was really not small.
I lay in bed and fell asleep before I knew it. When Jiang Zhi woke me up, I realized that the meal was ready. Just send me to Missy.
When I sat down at the dinner table, my mother-in-law asked me with concern, "Xiaoyi." Are you tired during the day, hurry up and eat, don't care about anything after eating, hurry up and go to sleep, your current body should be well watched. ”
"Mom, I'm fine, I just slept a little, I feel better, and I have more energy, but I feel so hungry."
"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat. You try this, everyone tasted it when it was just fried, and they all said it was delicious, haha. "Mother Jiang put a plate of fried grasshoppers in front of me.
In fact, as soon as I sat here, I was attracted by a burst of fragrance, and now that Mama Jiang put the whole plate in front of me, I really couldn't stand the temptation, so I directly pinched a fried browned grasshopper with my hand, closed my eyes and threw it into my mouth and chewed it.
It's really fragrant, it should be after frying, sprinkled with a little salt, it smells, there is a unique meat fragrance, and it tastes crispy, tender and fragrant. I ate one bite at a time, and my mouth was full of oil.
A few children watched me eat by myself, and they all pouted, and Qu's mother hurriedly went to bring a large pot of fried grasshoppers next to her, put a few plates in a few small plates, and put them in front of everyone, saying, "Everyone has worked hard today, but you can eat hard." ”
Today, the children were not idle, and after putting on protective gear, they took brooms and pinches to help the adults sweep away the fallen locusts, and they also collected several bags of locusts themselves.
A few of them had just gone out to make an appointment with the children in the village, and tomorrow morning, they would carry their bags and go to the vicinity to catch the locusts that had fallen into the net, and they were determined to collect the grains.
At night, I stood up and protruded my lower abdomen, lay on the big bed in the space, and chatted with Jiang Zhi.
"Today is finally over, and tomorrow will be a new day for me." I said emotionally.
Jiang Zhi knows what I'm talking about, my prediction is up to today, and everything tomorrow is blank for me.
"It's okay, don't you see that no one else knows what will happen in the future? They're not living well. Jiang Zhi put one hand around me and the other hand stroked my lower abdomen.
"Yes, we are still luckier than others, we still have this place, and a home that will always belong to the four of us." I said, looking at the roof.
"Yes, we have to know that we have gotten a lot more than others, and that's good." Jiang Zhi knew that I was talking about space, and this was the eternal home of our family of four.
"Old Jiang, accompany me to walk around the space, I want to take a closer look at our future home." I suddenly had the idea to see how the space had changed.
"Aren't you tired, if you're tired, you'll be resting for a while, anyway, the space is here, and you can't run, let's watch it whenever we want." Jiang Zhi was worried about my body, originally he wouldn't let me go today, but how could I stay at home by myself, besides, I'm not really weak and fall down as soon as the wind blows, so it's better to participate in it. So in the end, I followed.
"It's okay, I slept when I came back, I have already rested, and besides, I still have exercises in my body, your girl will be fine, don't worry."
"I'm not just worried about the girl, I'm more worried about the girl and her mother, that's irreplaceable." Jiang Zhi lay in my ear and said love words to me, I suddenly felt so happy, if I was eighty or one hundred and eighty years old, Jiang Zhi could still tell me these love words, then I would be the happiest woman in the world.
"Alright. will say something nice, hurry up and carry me around the space. I glared at Jiang Zhi coquettishly.
"Yes." Jiang Zhi quickly kissed me on the cheek. Then when he got up, he pulled me up again, and he really squatted down and let me climb on his back.
I also climbed up and began to wander around the space.
Jiang Zhi first carried me on his back and came to the edge of the black earth, looking at the wheat that had just grown. Jiang Zhi said: "How happy our girl is, from birth, you can eat high-quality grain." It's not like containment. When he was born, our family's economic conditions were not so good, so we could only buy ordinary rice and white noodles to eat. We still have to worry every day about whether the rice and white noodles that our children eat contain too much pesticides and fertilizers, which will have a bad impact on our children's health. Think about us back then. What a contradiction. Children don't eat, afraid that the child will be hungry, the child eats too much, and is afraid that too much harmful substances will be ingested, causing harm to the child's body, which is really not right. ”
"yes, back then, we were really at odds. Well, now we don't have to worry about that. Other parents don't have to worry about this problem, if there is food to eat, it must be high-quality food, and now there are no pesticides and fertilizers. ”
"Yes, it is not a blessing for Seon to lose his horse, and this last day that does not know when it will end is not entirely bad for people."
We chatted and continued to stroll.
Seeing the crucian carp jumping out of the rice field, Jiang Zhi grabbed two of them with his aura, just look at the two fish, and flew in front of us from the rice field, stopping like a sudden brake, I know that Jiang Zhi's skills have improved again.
"These two crucian carp are good, they look very energetic, in a while, I will make a crucian carp soup for you mother, and add some tofu and mushrooms, it should be delicious." You can eat more, eating fish is good for children and nourishing the brain. Jiang Zhi looked at the two crucian carp that were still flicking their tails in front of him, and nodded with satisfaction.
I don't have any opinions, and Jiang Zhi doesn't need me to have any opinions, just he's happy.
To the vegetable field in front, Jiang Zhi looked at the green leafy vegetables on the ground, and said: "This is not bad, let's pick some back, I'll give you a stir-fry, the child is more than two months old, and the amount of calcium needed in the mother's body will definitely be very large, for the health of your mother, you need more green leafy vegetables, which contain the highest calcium content, and you will be good for your body if you eat more." ”
"Daughter-in-law, look at how tender this sweet potato seedlings are, I'll pinch some for you, cold salad, you must love to eat it."
"Daughter-in-law, look ......"
Along the way, Jiang Zhi wanted to pick up some of everything and give our mother a few to eat, but I always climbed on his back without making a sound, whatever he said was what he said, I would not deprive him of his right to love his daughter-in-law and children.
Next to it is a puddle we first dug in the beginning, and a lotus root that was originally planted in it has now expanded in size, and now the pond is full of blooming lotus flowers, and a few lotus pods protruding from the water.
"Daughter-in-law, this lotus seed should be delicious, I'll pick one for you, and when you're bored in the future, take it out and eat it." Jiang Zhi used his spiritual power to pick off a large lotus pod on the pool and handed it to me for me to receive the ring, but then he withdrew his hand and said, "Come on, I'll put it in a small box for you after I pick it up for you, I'm giving it to you, you're so lazy, you'd rather not eat it than bring it yourself." "He still knows me best.
Then came to the fruit area at the edge of the space, Jiang Zhi saw that this was good or that, and after a while, he filled a large basket on his arm.
On the way back, he kept chattering, "People say that pregnant women eat grapes well, and in the future, children's eyes will be like grapes, black and shiny." This apple is also a good variety, eat ......"
I looked at my husband under me, looking at his standard pregnant husband's appearance, the sweetness in my heart gushed out wave by wave, looking at the lush space, thinking about the family outside the space, my heart was extremely stable at the moment.
As long as this person always loves me, as long as this person always accompanies me, no matter what the end of the world is outside, I have the courage to keep going.
"Shut up, it's time for my girl to sing." I brutally interrupted Jiang Zhi's ink and began to sing the song of the little donkey.
"I have a little donkey
I never ride
One day I rode to the market on a whim
I had a small leather whip in my hand
I'm feeling proud
I don't know how to pull and pull
I fell into the mud
......" (To be continued......)
