There is a little cute baby in the family, fleeing famine is not enough to get rich and busy

"Grandma, stewed chicken, Man Bao'er and grandma's thighs!"

As soon as Qi Manman saw the big rooster, he immediately stopped thinking about eating duck. He pointed at the big rooster in the pigsty, his eyes shining brightly.

When Qi Cheng saw his granddaughter like this, he was amused.

Gently tapped the tip of the little girl's nose, and angrily said: "Look at how greedy you are!"

"Grandma, eat chicken drumsticks, okay?"

Qi Manman didn't mind being poked on the nose by grandma at all, instead he put his arms around the old lady's neck and acted like a baby.

"Okay, okay, whatever Man Baoer wants to eat, let's eat whatever!"

Qi Cheng couldn't resist his little granddaughter's acting like a baby, so he agreed repeatedly.

It happened that Qi Dalang was coming over with a wooden trough, ready to pour some water for the chickens and ducks, when he heard Qi Cheng greet him: "Dalang, grab a big rooster and let's stew it for dinner at night."

"what?"

Qi Dalang was dumbfounded: "Grandma, the chicken you just bought, will you eat it today?"

"Yes. If you don't want to eat, don't eat!"

Qi Cheng glanced at his eldest grandson in disgust, turned around and left with his granddaughter in his arms.

I can't stay here anymore, or the little girl might have to tell me what to eat.

The big rooster that I just bought is about to be stewed, Qi Cheng can't feel bad.

But if she wants to eat a duck again, then she will feel sorry for her!
No matter how worried Qi Chengshi was about feeding the chickens and ducks, these small animals were settled in the Qi family.

The boys in the family go out to cut grass and dig insects every morning, and after feeding the chickens and ducks, they let the chickens and ducks out.

In the first few days, people had to watch over them, lest these little guys get lost.

But soon, the little ones got used to the living habits of their new home.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

During that day, the weather was getting hotter day by day.

The people who could still open up wasteland under the noon sun had no choice but to rest, and only waited for the sun to be westward before continuing.

However, the sun had just set to the west, and before everyone took their hoes to open up wasteland, they suddenly heard Qi Qilang shouting: "There are grasshoppers!"

In an instant, Qi Wulang, Qi Liulang, Qi Balang and Qi Jiulang all ran over excitedly.

A little boy, no matter how sensible he is, is still full of curiosity.

"Wow, Seventh Brother, you are amazing!"

Qi Balang looked at a locust in Qi Qilang's hand with bright eyes.

Qi Shilang walked slowly, and when he got to the front and back, he slobbered and asked, "Seventh brother, can this be eaten?"

"It should be possible."

Qi Qilang was a little uncertain: "Let's ask my fourth aunt."

"it is good!"

Several Lang immediately agreed, and followed Qi Qilang to find Yimeng.

Yi Meng is currently boiling mung bean water under the thatched shed in the yard.

The weather is too hot, afraid of heatstroke in the family, Yimeng will boil mung bean water every afternoon, put some rock sugar in it, it is sweet and delicious to relieve the heat.

"Aunt Four!"

"mother!"

"Fourth aunt!"

Several boys shouted for someone first, which startled Yi Meng.

Seeing them running towards her with sweat on their heads, Yi Meng hurriedly told them to slow down, and then asked: "What's the matter?"

"Fourth aunt, can this be eaten?"

Qi Qilang handed the locust he was holding forward.

Yi Meng was originally sitting, so Qi Qilang handed it forward, almost sending the locusts to Yi Meng's eyes, which surprised Yi Meng.

But after seeing clearly what it was, Yi Meng's heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly asked, "Where did you get it?"

"It's in the garden!"

Qi Qilang pointed to the place where the locusts had just been discovered.

Yi Meng's scalp was numb, and he hurriedly told him: "This can be fed to ducks and chickens, but after you feed this to the chickens, go into the house quickly and close the doors and windows. Unless the adults tell you to open the door, you must not open the doors and windows." , remember?"

"what?"

Qi Balang scratched his head: "Mother, isn't it too hot in the room?"

"Don't turn on the heat! Hurry up and go back to the house!"

Yi Meng also ignored the mung bean soup, got up and ran towards the backyard.

At the gate of the backyard, Yi Meng shouted loudly: "The locusts are coming! The locusts are coming!"

Qi Dafu, who was in the distance, heard the voice, wiped his sweat with a cloth towel, and asked Qi Quanjin: "Fourth brother, who is the fourth sibling?"

Quan Quanjin didn't answer immediately, but looked at his wife, listened carefully, his face changed instantly, and he greeted: "Quick, go back! The locusts are coming!"

"What? Really here?"

Qi Dafu also changed his face, and hurriedly followed Quanjin, shouting to the others while running: "Go home, the locusts are coming!"

The others were also taken aback, they didn't care about digging half of the ground, and ran back like crazy.

Yi dreamed that everyone was running back, she didn't wait, turned around and went back to the front yard, and began to call other people to come out to work.

To deal with the locust plague, cover the young crops and close the doors and windows. This is the most negative way to deal with it.

Locusts cannot eat crops, so they will naturally go to the mountains and forests to harm the mountains and forests.

If it was somewhere else, the family would not have so many ideas.

But now the mountains and forests behind are a place for them to survive, and they still hope to dig some wild vegetables from the mountains to supplement their family's food.

If they were all eaten by locusts, it would be no different to them eating the food in the ground.

So these days when everyone is resting, they get together to study how to deal with the locust plague.

Yi Meng's memory is not deep, so he can only put forward a general idea, and let everyone think about the solution together.

Not to mention, it really made them research some methods.

All the bedsheets and quilts from each household were donated, stitched together tightly, and fixed with wood a few meters away.

Once the situation is found to be wrong, this huge sheet will be blocked at the gates of several families.

Fires were lit around the courtyard and in open spaces.

Once uninterrupted locusts fly into the yard, set fire to them.

According to the memory of several old men, locusts bite people.

A few bites won't kill you, but not too many.

Therefore, people with good physical strength prepared thick clothes, and tied the neckline, cuffs, waist, and trouser legs tightly. Even the shoes were sewn together with the trousers, so as to reduce the possibility of locusts getting into the clothes as much as possible.

A hood was also sewn on the head, and the eyes were made with specially bought window screens.

Once you find something is wrong, immediately find an empty room with the nearest person, and slap the locusts on each other to reduce the chance of injury.

As for those outside, they beat the locusts with sticks similar to oars.

Everyone has only one purpose: to kill one is one!
Thanks to the buffer of these few days, otherwise everyone really couldn't prepare all these things.

Now that they heard that there were indeed locusts, the women immediately moved out the cloth curtains on the first line of defense.

When the men rushed back, the rolls of cloth curtains had already been unrolled.
