Chapter 158: Surprised by Locust Eggs
Lin Qingmu picked up a petal and swallowed it in one bite.
The apple was sweet and juicy, and he squinted his eyes in satisfaction.
"Sweet!" he praised.
Lin Qingshan was much more polite than him, but he also went down halfway.
"Well, it's really sweet, Tangtang. Where did you buy these apples? The supply and marketing cooperative probably doesn't have them, right?" He looked puzzled.
There was unconcealable worry deep in his eyes.
The smile on Lin Tang's face did not diminish, and even deepened.
"Brother, you don't think I bought this on the black market, do you?"
She smiled and shook her head. "There's nothing as good as this on the black market."
Lin Qingshan looked at Lin Tang, and met her clear and beautiful black eyes, which were obviously pretending not to understand, and felt helpless.
"Just keep it in mind."
Don’t tell me, as long as my sister doesn’t do anything dangerous.
Lin Tang blinked to show that he knew.
I took the cut apples and went to the kitchen.
Zhou Mei stood near the door and saw what her sister-in-law was holding in her hand, looking at her eagerly.
Lin Tang just found it funny.
My second sister-in-law is indeed the best foodie. As long as she sees food, she will not care about anything else.
Lin Tang didn't keep her waiting and picked up a piece and gave it to her.
"Second sister-in-law, eat an apple to fill your stomach."
Zhou Mei finished the meal in two bites without saying a word.
After eating, I couldn't help but smack my lips, looking very satisfied.
"They're delicious! The apples I buy here are so different from the ones I pick in the mountains!"
Li Xiuli glanced at her, her expression speechless.
Then he stopped looking at Zhou Mei and looked at Lin Tang lovingly.
"Tangtang, have you eaten?"
Lin Tang nodded and said, "We ate it. We all ate it."
Li Xiuli didn't say anything and took it and ate it.
After eating it, he praised it, "It's really good and sweet."
Ning Xinrou also said, "It's really sweet. Fruits in the mountains grow haphazardly without anyone taking care of them, so of course they won't taste as good as those grown by professionals."
She hasn't eaten fruit for a long time.
A hint of nostalgia flashed across the woman's eyes.
Seeing that her mother didn't say anything this time, Lin Tang turned her head and covered her mouth with her hands and chuckled.
Boiling a frog in warm water is indeed effective.
Look, I don’t even feel any pain when eating fruit.
Li Xiuli: My heart aches so much that it’s numb.
When Lin Tang walked out of the kitchen, he saw Lin Lu coming in from outside.
"Dad, you're back. I cut some apples. Come and have a piece."
As he spoke, he waved happily to Lin Lu.
"Hey!" Lin Lu responded.
After washing his hands, he sat on the stool next to the stone table.
As soon as he saw the apple pieces of the same size on the plate, his face was full of smiles.
"It's cut so neatly!" He laughed with emotion.
In the whole team, only Tangtang is so careful when eating fruit.
His daughter is a natural city dweller.
Lin Tang smiled coquettishly and winked at Lin Lu.
He lowered his voice and said, "If you cut it into smaller pieces, everyone can eat it, and my mother will feel less distressed."
Look, her mother didn’t say anything today?
Lin Lu patted her daughter's head and smiled.
"You are such a clever little fellow."
Lin Tang just thought that he was entertaining his parents with colorful clothes and didn't think much of it.
Thinking of the sad look on her father's face when he first came in, she asked curiously.
"Dad, are you worried? I just saw that you didn't look well.
What happened? If there's something wrong, don't hide it. Let's discuss it together.
If one person can see the shortcoming, two people can see the long version. They can always find a way."
When Lin Lu met Lin Tang's concerned eyes, his heart softened.
My daughter is really careful.
The three boys in the family are all like leaky jackets.
Thinking of this, Lin Lu looked at the Sanqing brothers with a strange look in his eyes.
There was a clear look of disgust.
The three Lin brothers scratched their heads simultaneously, not understanding what was going on.
Lin Lu quickly withdrew his gaze and looked at Lin Tang with a loving expression.
Like the gentle breeze in early summer and the scorching sun breaking through the snow in winter.
"Alas!" Lin Luxian sighed, then continued, "Even if you don't mention it, I still want to ask you."
Lin Tang immediately became interested. "What is it? Dad, just tell me what you want to ask. I will tell you everything I know."
She didn't know what happened, but her father wanted to ask her.
Lin Lu looked at his daughter without blinking, with anticipation glittering in his eyes.
"Yesterday when I went to the fields, I saw locust eggs in the north field..."
When talking about locusts, a hint of disgust appeared in his eyes.
The famine in previous years was not just caused by droughts; the locust invasion caused even greater losses.
That's why when he saw the locust eggs, he felt a little panicked.
For fear of disturbing the morale of the brigade members, I went to tell my eldest brother Lin Fu early this morning.
The two of them went over to take a look and indeed saw locust eggs.
Although it wasn't much, it was enough to make them panic.
The crops in the fields are about to be harvested, and a swarm of locusts appears at this time.
hiss……
Just thinking about it makes me faint.
Lin Lu asked Lin Tang how to kill the locusts because he was desperate and wanted to try anything.
Thinking that his daughter seemed to have a solution, he asked tentatively.
After hearing what his father said, Lin Tang murmured, "Locusts?"
This thing that harms crops would have almost destroyed the world there a long time ago.
Lin Lu thought she had no solution, so she suppressed her worries and said, "If there's no solution in the book, then forget it..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Tang interrupted, "There is a way."
It's just a locust.
It's not a big deal.
"What?" Lin Lu opened his mouth in surprise, his voice rising several pitches. "Do you have a solution?"
As soon as he finished asking the question, his old face lit up with joy.
"If there is a way, it would be good. If there is a way, it would be good..."
After saying it twice, he stood up happily and walked back and forth a few times.
Lin Tang was helpless.
"Dad hasn't asked me what I can do."
Lin Lu stopped and told him not to have too much confidence in her.
"If you say there is a way, then there must be a way."
After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "...What method are you talking about?"
His weathered eyes were filled with confusion and curiosity.
Lin Tang said confidently, "Let's make some medicine to kill locusts."
"I still have two days off, so I'll make some medicine while I have time. I can then spray the crops with it and kill all the pests."
Lin Lu got the promise and a hearty smile appeared on his wrinkled face.
It felt like the huge rocks in my heart were moved away.
My breathing became lighter.
"Okay, okay. Thank you for your hard work." Lin Lu said with a sigh.
"Life is not easy for country people, as they rely on their one acre and three mu of land.
The grain harvest is about to begin, and if anything goes wrong, it will be like a knife stabbing everyone in the heart."
He explained one more sentence.
Lin Tang smiled and shook his head, not minding that his vacation was taken up.
She has always been interested in medicine.
I just have no idea at the moment.
Since the brigade needs medicine to kill locusts, I might as well do it.
This is just a convenient thing for me.
"Dad, you don't need to explain. I know everything. Don't worry. This is a small matter. I can finish it tomorrow."
"When the time comes, we will apply the pesticide and make sure it doesn't damage the crops in the field."
Add some growth agent to the medicine, and maybe you will get a little surprise.
