Chapter 238 Locusts
After ten days of busy work, the first batch of buckwheat was stored in the warehouse and the second batch of sowing was completed.
After ten days of retracing, I was so tired that I was so tired that most people didn’t have to work. After two days of rest at home, they had to start preparing for hunting.
There are still many things to be busy with. At the end of July, the bracken is ripe. Just like last year, I will pinch my tender tips first, make dried vegetables, raise old roots, and then pick the rhizomes and grind them in September and store them.
In midsummer, the weather is hot, and the front door and the back door of the main hall are wide open. The whole family is eating in the wind of the hall. The lunch is made of dry pots of pork ribs and cold noodles, and a few dishes of refreshing cold dishes.
Jian Ning chewed a bite of ribs, sucked a bite of cold noodles, and then mixed with vinegar and cucumber. The fragrant eating style made others feel a lot of appetite.
Suddenly, a person with a sharp hearing suddenly heard a delicate "buzzing" sound. Jian Ning was stunned. He paused his hand while gnawing at the ribs, and turned his head and listened in a tight manner.
The old man put down his chopsticks and stared at Jian Ning with great care and asked: "What's wrong with Ning Ning? I think the ribs are fishy?"
The couple got married for more than three months. The old lady and the old man liked to observe Jian Ning's food the most. Every time there was something strange, the old man would say, "Do you feel nauseous or nauseous?" The first few times, Jian Ning was confused when asked, and then he understood a few more times. He was looking forward to her getting pregnant.
It’s not a big deal for the two old people to talk too much. The main reason is that Jian Ning often leads the team into the mountains and runs wildly. If he gets tired of his baby, he will be too dysfunctional in the first three months.
Jian Ning's expression changed, she put down the bowl and chopsticks and ran to the back door, shouting as she ran: "Locusts are coming! Dad, you and Jiang Yi Huagai greenhouse, third sister, grandpa, you can also help, hurry up!"
The person on the table was startled by Jian Ning's movements and stood there in a hurry with the bowl on the spot. Jiang Yihua first reacted: "Dad, come and help." After that, he knocked down the chair and blew out like a gust of wind.
Only then did Jian Zhenjun and his men reacted and followed him to the vegetable garden. At this time, Jian Ning had no idea where he dragged out a pile of woven cloth, and threw a few bundles to the next yard, and yelled: "Milk, go to the backyard to grab vegetables, the locusts are coming!"
After the sound came, I heard the sound of a jingle bell slamming the chair door panels in the next yard, followed by a rapid footstep: "My chicken, Deli moved my chicken and rabbit into the house first. The third and fourth brothers quickly spread the woven cloth and block the dishes. I pulled out all the dishes in the house that were not easy to block and threw them into the house..."
"Defu, Degui, you go to your elder sister's yard to help, we are here." Cao Fengzhen called her third son and fourth son to support Jian Huanhuan while pulling out vegetables.
Defu and Degui were also quick to move, and they climbed over the wall to the small yard next to them.
The old lady slapped her forehead: "By the way, the private land! Boss, you and the fifth brother will carry a few bundles of woven cloth to save the food from the private land, hurry up."
“Hey.”
Although they did not see the shadow of locusts when they arrived in the backyard, the person who called the locusts was Jian Ning, so they did not delay a second and then quickly moved. No one even made such doubts, "Where are locusts? I didn't see locusts," and they all kept their heads in execution of the instructions issued by the old lady, holding chickens, holding rabbit cages, pulling woven cloths, and collecting vegetables...
Jian Ning also acted quickly. Mr. Jiang helped Jian Mingyu spread the weaving cloth to cover up the green vegetables in the field. Jiang Yihua and Jian Zhenjun covered the roof. Jian Ning shook the weaving cloth alone to cover the tomatoes and the calla planted on both sides of the Yanggou. The tomatoes had just been born, but the fruit was still green.
When he heard the old lady calling for private land, Jian Zhenjun hurriedly built a greenhouse and asked Jiang Yihua to run to the private land with him. Jian Ning covered the tomatoes and dug some soil to press it on the corners. Suddenly he thought of the precious flowers raised in the old man's courtyard: "Grandpa, flowers, your flowers!"
Mr. Jiang pulled out the uncovered vegetables like crazy. When he saw her running towards the courtyard, he kicked her in a stern voice, "Don't worry about my flowers, it's important to save food. You can go and save your own land to help your father."
Jian Ning paused, his goal remained unchanged, and ran towards the courtyard. The old man lived in his new home. He carefully cared for his courtyard every day in the past few months, especially the few rare flowers and plants that Jian Ning had collected from another world. He took care of him so carefully. It was as hot as taking care of the newborn. When it was windy and rainy, he was afraid of something going wrong, so he cherished him so much.
Jian Ning felt that it was necessary to protect the things that the old man had spent his best efforts. He was not close to his own land and might not be able to hurry up if he went there. It would be better to keep the old man’s heart in front of him.
"You kid!" Old Master Jiang stomped his feet, threw the vegetables into the basket, and hugged them into the house.
"Grandpa, go and help the fourth sister. Let me finish it here." Jian Mingyu snatched the basket from the old man's hand. They had woven cloth, and when they pulled it apart, the stone and soil were pressed down, the matter was done soon. There were only a few dishes exposed outside.
"Okay." Mr. Jiang looked at the tightly covered vegetable fields, felt a little relieved, ran towards the courtyard, and the buzzing sounded in his ears halfway through. He said intimately that it was too late and it was fake to say that he didn't feel sorry for him.
"Grandpa, you hide in the house!" The woven cloth shook in the air. Before the locusts arrived, Jian Ning had only time to cover up the most precious flowers planted in the middle of the courtyard.
Mr. Jiang looked up and saw black dots covering the sky ten meters away, and suddenly he felt sweaty and pulled Jian Ning, who was still busy, and hid in the house: "Let's go, don't worry, people are important!"
"Sister, tit, you guys come into the house," Jian Ning held the old man into the house with his back hand, turned his head and shouted in front.
The two grandparents and grandchildren stumbled into the house to hide. Jian Ning was holding a piece of woven fabric in his hand. He passed by the grape trellis and threw the woven fabric upwards, blocking it a little bit.
The door was closed, and Mr. Jiang was gasping and sitting on the ground with a breath. Jian Ning sat down next to the door panel. The old and the young looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Then he heard the crackling movement outside, just like the sound of a plane passing by at a low altitude, which made people's ears hurt and their hearts felt bitter.
Jian Ning turned his head and looked out through the crack in the door. He saw dense locusts flying over the courtyard, stopping for a short time, making rustling sounds. They ate green wildly, and their wings vibrated rapidly. One batch after another, looking outside through the gap, it had already formed the effect of covering the sky and the sun.
Mr. Jiang slowly stood up with his hands on his feet, his eyes approached the crack in the door, he took a breath, his face turned pale and murmured: "It's over, it's over, this insect storm has made the worse. The burden on the G family is too high, how should the people live!"
Jane Ning sniffed and didn't say anything.
The two of them lay on the crack in the door, looking at the silent outside.
Heavy mood.
