It is the third day that Liu Jiansheng's funeral has been completed, and Liu Jiansheng is back, so happy, Ma Guizhen is helping Liu Jiaogui to walk. She asked, "Your brother is dead, you should be sad, why is it like nothing happened?" Liu Qianhuo was about to answer, but he stopped talking, he came over and picked up Liu Jiaogui, and said to Ma Guizhen, I'm tired and faint these days, you can do something for me, okay?

Ma Guizhen didn't answer, only glanced at Liu Jiaogui, who had a crying face, and found that she was very repulsive to Liu Qianhuo, so she said, you let her go, it's rare to coax her to cry. Liu Qianhuo put her down, she was like a frightened duck, and immediately ran to Ma Guizhen. Ma Guizhen hugged her, and Liu Jiaogui buried her head deep in her arms. Liu Qianhuo still stubbornly said, I have a way to coax her. You'd better do something for me!

What's up? Ma Guizhen patted Liu Jiaogui's body and asked. Liu Qianhuo said, my brother died, his hemp land belongs to me, and now there is an insect plague, I have bought all the insecticides, and the sprayer is also available, you can treat the insects for me. Ma Guizhen said it's okay, you buy some snacks to coax the children first, and when you coax them, I'll go. This kid can't live without me.

Why take it so seriously? If the child wants to cry, let her cry. Liu has a tough attitude.

Ma Guizhen did not back down, and walked a few steps with the child in her arms, saying that the child had no father or mother to take care of him, which was too pitiful. Now I am her relative, she can't do without me, and I can't do without her.

Good! Just do as you say. Liu Yan patted himself alive, and it was a bulging place, of course, a wallet, Ma Guizhen also saw it, and said I am waiting for you to buy snacks for the child. So she led the child to the pasture in front of the house, where there was a big locust tree, and there was a bird's nest on the top of the tree, and a crow was crying on it.

Ma Guizhen was not careful, let go of her hand, Liu Jiaogui stumbled under the tree, she saw an insect crawling, about to reach out to grab it, Ma Guizhen did not let it, was reaching out to pull her, and found that a white thing fell and fell on Liu Jiaogui's head, it was a piece of crow.

At this time, Ma Guizhen had already grabbed Liu Jiaogui, and then picked her up and put her on the spacious field. Ma Guizhen looked at the dirty bird droppings on her head, and was angry, picked up a stone, and threw it at the crow resting on the branches of the locust tree. The crow is very elf, and before the flying stone is near, it pulls its wings and soars over the canopy, and with a "quack" cry, circles in the sky and falls on the canopy, perhaps to protect the nest, and there may be its birds in the nest.

Ma Guizhen vented, looked at the crow and cursed twice, then took the child to the dock in front of the village to wash the bird feces on Liu Jiaogui's head. When I returned to the field, I heard Liu Qianhuo's cry, Gui Zhen, I bought food for the child. She looked up and saw Liu Qianhuo, who was standing at the door of the house, holding 5 bottles of yogurt packaged together, holding them up and continuing, this time you can go to Madi to take medicine and treat insects, right?

Ma Guizhen, who has never broken her word, picked up Liu Jiaogui and approached Liu Qianhuo and said, Then you can take care of the child, I finish the medicine, and you will hand over the child to me.

The child was still a little repulsed by Liu Qianhuo, immediately turned his neck, and buried his head in Ma Guizhen's arms. Liu Jiaogui has never seen yogurt because she has always lived in the countryside, let alone knows that this white plastic bottle contains something that can be drunk.

Liu Qianhuo realized it, inserted a straw from the silver-gray cover of a bottle of yogurt, went around Ma Guizhen's back, reached out and flicked it on the top of the child's head, the child raised his face, Liu Qianhuo took the opportunity to put his mouth close to the straw, indicating that it was something to drink, and the sweet smell of yogurt also drifted into the air from the mouth with the straw. The child smelled it, which stimulated her appetite, and her tongue stretched out gently as she looked at the yogurt.

Liu Qianhuo felt that it was time, Ma Guizhen said, Jiaogui, let your uncle take you for a while, he has delicious food. Ma Guizhen said and turned around and handed the child to Liu Yanhuo to hold. Liu Qianhuo gave the bottle of yogurt with a straw to the child, and the child just sucked, and the sweet and sour taste made her happy.

Ma Guizhen is an expert in farm work, she walked to the door of the house, took out the white mask prepared in her pocket, put it on, carried the oblate gray sprayer, picked up a few bottles of insecticide in the bag, walked to the Dangjiatang wharf to mix water in proportion, everything was ready, and walked to the hillside behind the house, and saw that there were fat hemp worms on the round leaves of the ramie in the field, and many ramie were eaten until only the branches were left.

She walked into the hemp field, and carried the handle of the sprayer up and down, squeaking and making a mechanical sound, and the spray rod stretched out to the ramie bushes and swayed regularly, and the lotus-like spray head sprayed out a misty liquid that poured on the hemp worms, and their bodies visibly shrunk, curled up into a ball, and turned a few times, and finally rained down on the roots of the ramie branches, motionless.

Ma Guizhen watched, and as if relieved, she increased the amplitude of the spray grip, and more hemp insects fell from the hemp leaf stem and died. At this moment, her left and right eyes are jumping, as the saying goes: left to jump wealth, right to jump disaster, is it wealth or disaster? She was a little confused. Do you think the smell of the medicine is smoky and will cause you to be poisoned? She subconsciously paid special attention, held her mouth, breathed less, and pushed the white mask on her mouth with her elbow, thinking that it was safer.

After about an hour of insecticide, Ma Guizhen was sure that she was not poisoned, but her left and right eyes were still beating from time to time, could something happen? Her heart fluttered. At this time, she came to urine, she looked around at the numb field, and was ready to relieve her hands on the spot, but the smell of medicine here was too strong, and she was afraid of poisoning, so she walked out of the hemp field.

Putting down the sprayer on her back, she walked to the north side of the hillside, and when she saw that there were cattle herding in the distance, she ran to a bush, squatted down, looked at the blue sky, heard the sound of "whooshing" water flowing, and soon it was over. She fastened her trousers, stood up, and inadvertently landed her gaze on the nest of a miscellaneous tree, or rather, the nest of the bird, which was on the leafy side of the tree, short, and she looked at it with certainty that she could reach it. The bird's nest didn't get in her way, but she thought of the child, Liu Qianhuo was playing with the child, if there were eggs in the bird's nest, she could pick them back and cook a dish for the child.

At this moment, the child's chubby face shook in her mind, and she felt very cute, and subjectively guessed: there must be eggs in the nest. She stepped over a few steps, reached out and pulled down the green leaf branch, stood on tiptoe, and stretched her neck just enough to see the whole nest.

Hey, she let go quickly, and with a flick of the branch, a dead chick in the nest also popped out, and landed right at her feet, and the dead chick was crawling all over with ants, and it emitted a foul smell.

Ma Guizhen frowned, ran out of the jungle, returned to the hillside, picked up the sprayer that had been emptied of the liquid, and had a disgusting and terrifying thought in his heart: Why is everything you see today related to death? The fat, green and ridged hemp worm was killed by my spraying, and a layer fell on the ground, and I also touched the dead chicks in the nest. These are like invisible shadows that shake in my mind, lingering.
