Return to the exciting era of 1999

Chapter 828 The Mantis Catches the Cicada Oriole Behind
"It's all peaceful now, and everything is much safer than before. I thought about it, and after a year I applied for the removal of the Great Wall. The secretary also talked to me, implying that it was not good for me to occupy too many people in the county. If it is not done well, it will cause dissatisfaction among the local managers, which will lead to a backlash, which is not conducive to the development of follow-up work, what do you think?"

Turning down the volume of the TV a little, Hu Lijuan watched Ji Donglai's expression change.

After all, Ji Donglai did this for the benefit of his own work. Now that he refuses, Ji Donglai will be unhappy. Now Hu Lijuan has completely changed his mind with Ji Donglai.

We've known each other since middle school, and we haven't really been together until now. Hu Lijuan is very concerned about this relationship.

"Just take a look during this year. You have a lot of work to do this year. First, use the ability of the Great Wall to do some big things. When the Great Wall is gone, your place will be flat. What do you think? "

Regarding the existence of the Great Wall, Ji Donglai always insisted that it must be there.

Especially in such a poor county, the two generations told Ji Donglai that it is definitely not easy here.

"What are you worried about?"

Looking at Ji Donglai's eyes, Hu Lijuan gave him an almond.

"Hehe, why do you think this county is so poor? It's all developed around here but not here. Almost everyone has forgotten about it."

Reaching out to hug Hu Lijuan in his arms, Ji Donglai looked at him with a smile, Hu Lijuan's eyes were a little confused.

"You mean you have forgotten this place from top to bottom? You shouldn't wait for me to come over?"

Ji Donglai's words made Hu Lijuan a little sober. It seemed that it was true. The administrative districts around the county that Hu Lijuan presided over were all developed, but this place was forgotten.

This is like a village in the city, or more like a nail house...

Hu Lijuan looked slightly startled, especially thinking of nail households.

"You said that there are some forces hiding here to prevent the development here? No way, this is peacetime, who is so bold? Besides, does he have this ability? Anyone who confronts the country will seek death?"

Breaking free from Ji Donglai's arms, Hu Lijuan's eyes were full of disbelief. In Hu Lijuan's head, there was nothing as big as a country.

Besides, if you take ten thousand steps back, who dares to touch yourself?

"My excellent Teacher Hu, County Magistrate Hu, let me ask you a simple question. How do you rank cicadas, praying mantises, and orioles?"

Rubbing the opponent's little head, Ji Donglai secretly thought that Hu Lijuan should not have been a teacher in the first place.

Many times, things are too idealistic, and the things we face in teaching and educating people are too simple. They are a bunch of children.

Holding a piece of melon seeds, an almond representing the oriole, and a plum representing the praying mantis, Ji Donglai looked at Hu Lijuan with a smile.

"The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole follows. I still don't understand this simple logic?"

Hu Lijuan arranged the three in a straight line almost without thinking, melon seeds, plums, and apricots, and then looked at Ji Donglai with almost foolish eyes.

"No, it's actually like this!"

Ji Donglai moved the order of the other side, the melon seeds are still in front, the plums and apricots are arranged in a line, and the three are arranged in a triangle.

"Ah? Why is the oriole parallel to the mantis? Shouldn't the oriole eat the mantis? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Reaching out to destroy the triangle created by Ji Donglai, Hu Lijuan tapped Ji Donglai's forehead a few times, Ji Donglai also scratched the other's nose, and then adjusted the other's cycle.

"This is even more ridiculous. The mantis ate the cicada and then the oriole. Have you ever seen it?"

Watching Ji Donglai readjust the cycle, establish a food chain between the cicada and the mantis, and then the mantis is still on top of the bird, his eyes are full of surprises.

"Yeah, I've seen it, it's on the mountain here. When I was a child and my grandfather went back to my hometown here, we caught praying mantises and saw it by accident. The knife was hung on a tree, and I disguised myself as a stick The tree branch, the red-topped Su bird came over. With just one blow, the mantis caught the Su bird, and then the Su bird was eaten while it was still alive."

"So there is no absolute food chain in nature. Whoever grows big can change the food chain. It's the same in your county. No one has developed it for so long. I'm sure it's not the reason you see on the surface."

"What you see is the result, not the reason. The deep-seated things are the reason. There is a big fat praying mantis waiting there with two knives, so you must stay awake at all times. The praying mantis eats It’s cruel when this thing is alive.”

Ji Donglai taught Hu Lijuan the story of praying mantises and birds. Although the other party did not believe that praying mantises can eat birds, the other party listened to the truth.

In particular, the discussion of cause and effect is like enlightenment.

For such a long time, Hu Lijuan regarded the lack of development leading to poverty here as a cycle, and did not think further.The reason why it cannot be developed here is the real reason, not the result of undeveloped.

"Okay, I understand. I didn't expect that you, a person who studies science and engineering, can tell stories. I don't want to listen to stories now. This girl wants to sleep. Be honest with me at night, and be careful when I clean up someone... "

Many things need to be digested for a while, and Hu Lijuan is no exception.

Inertial thinking caused the other party to almost go astray. Now he must think clearly. Ji Donglai also knew that the other party needed time, and Ji Donglai slept obediently throughout the night.

People can't fall asleep once they start thinking about things, and Hu Lijuan can't sleep either. Seeing Ji Donglai sound asleep, Hu Lijuan pinched Ji Donglai's nose and scolded the little friend, put on her clothes and walked to the front yard.

It happened that Ji Heng and his wife were frying things, and Ji Donglai's mother was also helping, so Hu Lijuan started to help, and was driven out of the kitchen by Ning Caiyun not long after.

"Xiaojuan, you go to have a rest with grandpa. You are busy all year round, so you have to take a good rest after Chinese New Year."

Pushing Hu Lijuan and Ji Heng into the main room, Ning Caiyun went back to work with her mother-in-law with a happy face.

"Grandpa, it's said that praying mantises can eat birds. Is there such a thing?"

There was basically nothing to talk about with such an old man, Hu Lijuan poured Ji Heng a cup of tea, and happened to mention Ji Dong's mantis theory.

Ji Heng froze for a moment, thinking about something in his mind.

"Is it a knife?"

"Yes, Ji Donglai also calls it that!"

"Yes, the bird I eat is a bit bigger than myself. Rural people don't see many of these things. Dong Lai was very naughty when he was a child. When he returned to the countryside, he liked to catch everything. The knife has a lot of meat on it, so catch it and burn it I wanted to eat, but I didn’t catch such a pair once. Dao La’s knife was still stuck in the bird’s head, and Dong Lai brought back two, roasted them and ate them..."

When it comes to these rural affairs, Ji Heng has endless stories to tell, but Hu Lijuan is shocked and speechless for a long time.

Looking at the direction of himself and Ji Donglai's yard, and thinking about the county he was in charge of, he secretly thought that this time he really didn't come in vain. According to the words of the old man of the Hu family, this time he should get the Great Wall back as soon as possible.
