Chapter 162 I Want to See It
Even Zhou Mei, who was usually heartless, had a strange expression on her face.
I saw her holding the chopsticks tightly, her eyes were dark, and she looked very upset.
locust……
famine……
Ning Xinrou's face also turned pale, and she looked at Lin Qingshan anxiously.
She had never known how powerful locusts were before.
It was the first time she had felt fear since the locust plague that followed the drought a year earlier.
That thing was so dark that no grass grew wherever it passed.
Lin Qingshan noticed that the woman was in a bad mood and turned to look over.
He held Ning Xinrou's hand under the table, applying slight force with his fingertips.
Use your eyes to tell her: Don’t be afraid, I’m here!
Ning Xinrou met the man's calm eyes, and the panic in her heart seemed to be gently stroked by a pair of hands, half gone.
When Lin Lu saw that he had only said one sentence, everyone in the family panicked.
He knocked on the table to get everyone's attention.
"Don't panic!"
"I saw some locust eggs, but not many, and anyone could catch them all.
I'm mainly worried that if the brigade doesn't take care of it, these things will continue to multiply and eventually become a locust plague, destroying the crops in the fields."
"Don't worry now. Tangtang has made a potion to kill locusts. Let's apply the potion as soon as possible and kill the pests."
Lin Lu was still unsure whether the potion would work, so he started to persuade his family first.
My daughter never talks nonsense, so it must be useful!
Without waiting for anyone to speak.
He continued: “It’s different now than it was before.
In the past, locusts became a disaster because the weather was extremely dry.
The weather is good this year, and there's plenty of water in the river, so there won't be any problems."
After listening to Lin Lu's words and thinking about the situation this year, Li Xiuli felt that it was indeed the case.
My heart, which had been in a knot, relaxed a little.
"Yes, the boss is right. Don't scare yourself. Just do your job well."
After saying that.
There was a hint of sadness in her eyes as she looked at Lin Tang.
"Tangtang, are you sure your medicine will work?"
Lin Tang nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course."
"What do you think of that medicinal wine? It's pretty much the same as this."
“I read all of this in books, and the fact that it’s here means someone has tried it and it worked well.
The book says locusts are easy to deal with, so don't be so nervous."
To be more exaggerated, there are even plant growth potions.
However, this thing is too outrageous.
It was not something a peasant girl like her could come up with.
If she wants to take it out, she has to wait until her social status is higher.
Li Xiuli met Lin Tang's confident eyes, as if nothing could stump her, and she immediately felt relieved.
He looked at the three brothers of the Lin family and immediately arranged tasks for them.
"Qingshan, Qingshui, Qingmu, your three main tasks for the next two days are to inject this medicine carefully."
Her tone was heavy, her disgust for the locusts evident in her words.
Before the three Qing brothers could express their admiration for their sister, they were assigned the task of spraying pesticides.
I could only put aside the flattery that was about to come out of my mouth and nod repeatedly.
“Okay, okay!”
"knew."
"I guarantee that not a single locust scum will be left."
After talking about the locusts, Lin Tang mentioned the factory's art performances and movies.
"...Ah? Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother are going to spray pesticides? Do you still have time to watch the cultural performance and movie at the cotton textile factory?"
This opportunity is rare.
If you miss it, it will be difficult to meet it again in the future.
It sounded like a burst of spring thunder, and Lin Lu and others were so surprised that it felt like thunder had exploded above their heads.
"What? Art performances and movies?" Lin Lu said in surprise.
Are the welfare benefits in state-owned factories so good?
From what her daughter said, Li Xiuli felt that they could all go, so she grabbed Lin Tang's arm.
"Tangtang, from what you mean, can we all go?"
The Sanqing brothers, Ning Xinrou and Zhou Mei all looked at Lin Tang with burning eyes.
Just wait for her answer.
"Yes, I heard from Qingqing that it was because of the holiday last year, and the workers worked overtime to increase production.
This year, the trade union invited the provincial capital's art troupe to perform at the factory.
Not only that, they also invited people from the film studio, saying that they would come to the studio to show movies for two consecutive days, that is, tomorrow night and the night after tomorrow.
All workers working in the factory can bring their families with them, which is considered a factory benefit.
How about it? Do you all want to go?
Lin Tang's soft voice carried a subtle temptation, which made everyone in the Lin family feel itchy.
Of course, everyone in the Lin family wanted to go.
They have never been to a cotton textile factory.
It would be great if I could go and see it.
The Sanqing brothers looked at Lin Lu and Li Xiuli with eager eyes, and there was an uncontrollable light in their eyes.
They want to go...
Goudan understood what he meant and even put his job aside temporarily.
The voice was soft and curious.
"Aunt, what is a movie? Is it the same as a picture book?"
The three stinky little ones also became more energetic.
All the clear and bright eyes couldn't help but look at her.
Lin Tang pursed his lips and smiled, "You'll know what it is when you go and see it! Regardless of whether your grandparents and parents go or not, I will take the four of you around the county."
This was something she had already decided in her mind.
The kids have nothing to do at home, so they go see a movie and broaden their horizons.
Goudan's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really?"
Lin Tang nodded affirmatively, "Of course."
Goudan couldn't contain his excitement, and his little face turned red with excitement.
Great, they are going to the county to play.
Not only can you play, you can also watch movies.
Seeing the happy looks of their grandchildren and the eager faces of their son and daughter-in-law, Lin Lu and Li Xiuli both agreed.
Li Xiuli thought for a moment and asked, "Tangtang, you said the factory will show movies for two days?"
Lin Tang nodded.
"Can we split the visit up over two days? If we go all at once, there'll be no one left to do the farm work.
Besides, it's too conspicuous, which is not good." Li Xiuli suggested.
There are several mouths to feed in the family.
Going in two groups will result in a loss of work points, but it makes me feel better.
Lin Tang knew what Mother Li meant and replied, "Sure, how would you like to arrange it, Mother?"
As soon as she said this, everyone quieted down and waited for Li's mother's arrangements.
Zhou Mei blinked her eyes, looked at Li's mother with fiery eyes, glanced at Lin Tang, and did not say a word, but her expression was not very peaceful.
He was just short of carving the words "Let me go first!" on his forehead.
That wasn't enough, so she finished the rest of the rice in the bowl in one gulp.
He took a broom from the corner and began to sweep the floor seriously.
The point is - if you keep hanging around your mother-in-law and sister-in-law, they will definitely see you.
Blatantly showing off one's presence.
Lin Tang: "..." Second sister-in-law's actions are still so unpredictable.
Li Xiuli didn't even raise her eyelids. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Tangtang will take the four little ones tomorrow. You, the third one, will go with them too. Keep an eye on Goudan and the others and don't let them get into trouble."
"The day after tomorrow we're going to the eldest and second sons' homes..."
"As for me and your father, we'll see."
Li Xiuli also said that she didn't know whether to go or not.
Of course she wanted to go there, but she couldn't bear to give up the ten or so work points she would have to earn every day.
So I feel very conflicted.
Lin Qingshan and Lin Qingshui also knew their mother's temper. The two brothers looked at each other with helpless expressions.
