The weather is getting colder, and even the person in my dreams is hugged tightly!
Ye Zhiqiu finally managed to tear the sheet off his body. God knows what happened yesterday, the sheet was wrapped around him like a snake.
When Ye Zhiqiu was washing up, it was already seven o'clock in the morning. He then discovered that Qian Yuanjun and the other man had come over. They were discussing picture books in Ye Wubing's room.
He walked in while brushing his teeth. Unexpectedly, his younger sister was already awake. Several people greeted her and he nodded.
He mumbled, "The reinforcements can't go outside the city today... We have to eliminate the four pests..."
Qian Yuanjun nodded and replied, "Brother, I know what you want to say. My parents have to attend! So we came here with you, brother, to make spider webs and get rid of the four pests!"
Ye Zhiqiu asked curiously, "Your school starts tomorrow. I'll take you to eliminate the four pests. Are you planning to make preparations in advance?"
"What's there to prepare? Don't you think it's fun, brother? It's so fun to have spiders make webs to catch mosquitoes and flies!"
………
Ye Zhiqiu then realized that they were playing for fun. But that was true. When he was a kid, he played video games, yo-yos, and later on, computer games.
But now, they have nothing to play with! People in their teens are at their most playful. In Ye Zhiqiu's eyes, this is a headache, but in the eyes of children, it is very interesting!
After washing up, he came to the living room, only to see Wang Fugui and Ye Tianya reading together a newspaper they had gotten from somewhere.
He asked curiously, "Grandpa, Dad, what are you looking at?"
Ye Tianya explained, "The newspaper said other areas have already responded to the Four Pests campaign. That was a week ago. Son, why did we start so late?"
Wang Fugui explained: "You have just arrived in the city not long ago, so you don't understand this matter. It was launched during the summer harvest, and now it is the autumn harvest, so it has been launched again.
That's not right. You should have launched it in your village too, right? Why didn't you have it there?"
Ye Zhiqiu and Ye Tianya looked at each other, bewildered. Then they remembered that there had indeed been an organized sparrow extermination campaign, but it wasn't called the "Four Pests Extermination Campaign." As for rats, in their Kaoshan Village, they were just a delicacy; there was no need to mobilize the villagers to exterminate them...
Ye Zhiqiu explained with a smile: "Haha, when we were in Kaoshantun, we didn't talk about eliminating the four pests, but the action of killing sparrows to protect grain!
I guess when the commune issued the order, the village head and secretary only remembered the grain protection operation and didn't remember the words "eliminating the four pests!"
Ye Tianya suddenly remembered and said with a smile: "That was indeed the case, but we were assigned to beat drums and gongs to drive away sparrows and other things that came to steal food!"
After chatting about this topic for a while, Wang Xiaolan called Ye Tianya, probably because breakfast was ready.
Ye Zhiqiu also went to call a few children to have breakfast. Although Yuanjun and Xiaofang said they had already eaten, Ye Zhiqiu still pulled the two of them over to eat some more.
While drinking the rice porridge, Ye Zhiqiu told Wang Xiaolan and the others, "Dad, Mom, since you are participating in the activities with a large group, don't try to show off. Just follow the group's arrangements.
How should I put it? Sparrows aren't one of the four pests, but now that they've been designated as one, there's nothing we can do about it. Rats are the real bad guys, so the more we kill, the better."
Although I don't understand why sparrows, which eat grain, are not considered one of the four pests, the two of them are obedient and don't care whether they show off or not. The main reason is that they both know that sparrows eat locusts!
This campaign to eradicate the four pests led to a significant decrease in the sparrow population, with nearly two billion killed nationwide. The next year, the backlash began, with insect plagues hitting many areas, especially Sichuan and Beijing.
Although Ye Zhiqiu knew about this, and perhaps many people knew about it, what could he say? He was not tired of living. In the tide of this great era, going with the flow was the only way to protect himself!
After breakfast, Ye Wubing and his friends went to look for something to make a sticky net. They just needed to find bamboo strips, bend them at both ends, and then tie them to wooden sticks.
Next, you can look for spider webs everywhere. If you keep doing it, you will get something like a web racket, and then you can use it to catch all kinds of flying insects!
Ye Tianya and his wife set off, and Wang Fugui took Ye Bailu to watch the fun. He didn't stay at home all day, and often took Ye Bailu out for a walk.
The little girl tried all the snacks in the newly opened department store in Sanlitun! Who made Wang Fugui cherish her and have money to spend on her?
Looking at the little guys looking for spider webs everywhere, Ye Zhiqiu checked the time, said something, and pushed his bicycle out.
It’s still a bit far to ride a bike from Sanlitun to Zhongguancun. Last time, it took me two and a half hours to go back and forth with someone.
But I didn’t ride very fast at night. It would probably take about an hour to ride there during the day.
There was no rush, so Ye Zhiqiu rode slowly, looking at the crowd on the road carrying various tools, all of whom were discussing enthusiastically about the people who were setting out to eliminate the four pests.
The whole city is in motion. The rat holes in the city and the sparrows outside the city are destined to suffer today.
The chicken was prepared in the space. Since it was a whole chicken, only the legs and wings were fried. The rest of the meat was stir-fried with spicy chicken. The fish was also prepared, a black fish weighing over two kilograms.
Actually, mandarin fish is the most suitable dish for squirrel fish. Even Li Bicheng said so when he was teaching. Using black fish as a substitute is impossible because mandarin fish is not available in Beijing now!
In this way, Ye Zhiqiu brought chicken, fish, ribs and side dishes to the compound where Feng Xiaomei lived.
It is different from the He family compound. The people there are all from the army, and few of them dare to mess around, so the guards seem to be tight on the outside but loose on the inside.
But this side is more powerful. Not only did they not ask for registration, they also asked for all kinds of information. After asking clearly, they made a phone call and asked the people inside to notify Chen Yuqing!
Because there is no one living here to accompany me, and it is my first time here, I need someone to authenticate me before I can be allowed to pass.
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile: "Brother, this place is so strict, but if that's the case, my partner lives here, do I have to do this every time I come here?"
"That won't happen. This is your first time entering, so you need someone to give you proof. Next time you visit, you can register normally. We'll ask you and you'll be fined. This is a matter of discipline, so don't be careless!"
Ye Zhiqiu also swallowed his saliva. Oh my goodness, I still need to get approval next time I come here. Does that mean that every time I come here, I have to get Feng Xiaomei's consent before I can enter her house?
If the two of them have a quarrel one day, it will be really hard to comfort each other because they can't see each other at all!
