Hard times have room

Chapter 446

Most grasshoppers only have a slightly different color in some places, golden yellow, only a few grasshoppers have a deeper burnt yellow color. She is used to being safe and does not dare to fry the grasshoppers in the pot for too long. , I am afraid of overcooking and wasting it.

This pot was a success, and Pauline was more confident in the next pot, so she put all the remaining grasshoppers into the iron pot.

The previous fire was still burning, and Pauline added two more twigs in, and after setting it up, she put the iron pot rack on the stove.

With the previous experience, Pauline went much smoother this time. About 4 minutes later, the hot grasshoppers were freshly baked, and they were just fried. I squeezed one and threw it into my mouth.

Well, it's a little cold, but it tastes more crispy and delicious.

The grasshopper was fried, and the sun had already set, but it was still a while before it got dark. Paulin didn't delay, and continued to boil water in the iron pot. She was going to take a bath later, and she planned to take a bath before cooking.

After setting up the fire, Paulin went to her room to get her clothes. After more than ten minutes, Paulin, who had just finished taking a bath, felt refreshed and did not stop for a moment, and started cooking directly.

Mushrooms and wild vegetables are mixed together to make soup. Boiled in water, the taste is naturally not very good. After all, there is only salt in it, but it tastes surprisingly good with the freshly cooled grasshopper.

Paulin just squeezed a grasshopper out of the bowl and ate it, and then drank a sip of vegetable soup. Before she could continue, she heard the movement from the yard, and Paulin had to reluctantly put it down and put it down. To the bowl with the grasshopper.

Su Hongying and Wang Jiandang dragged their tired bodies back.

Now there are more and more bugs outside, there is no other way except to catch them personally. Although the captain and the party secretary have reported the situation in the village, they want to seek a solution from above, but they have little hope. I just want to be able to get rid of the food tax this year.

Based on the current situation, they cannot afford to pay the grain tax.

Now the situation outside is a mess that can be seen by the naked eye, not only in Shanghe Village, but in the entire Hongxing Town, the entire Jiangning County, and even in the city and the province. , so far there is no effective way to prevent it.

Now the people below are all numb, all staring at the top, giving instructions, pointing out a clear way out, but it has been almost ten days since they reported, and there is still no movement above.

This time, if it wasn't for Xu Aiguo's own report from the town, he would have assigned someone to forget about it, and didn't tell the above at all.

Right now in Shanghe Village, the two village cadres at the top are worried, and the villagers at the bottom are even more worried. There is a stone in their hearts, and they don't know when they can move away a little bit.

There are so many bugs, if you continue, there will be serious problems. Although the village suffered a disaster last year, there was no major accident. After all, relying on the mountains and mountains, it is so easy to starve to death. If nothing else, there are still wild vegetables. But now it's a little off.

Now the leaves of the wild vegetables outside are all gnawed by bugs, and I can't find anything good at all. There are still wild vegetables to eat now, but what about ten days and a half months later?Or even a month or two later?

These worms are growing more and more. If there is no effective means of containment, they will be allowed to develop like this. It will be a matter of time before a plague of worms will form, and it will be a question of how much food can be left.

If nothing else, most people in the village now rely on wild vegetables for support. If the wild vegetables are gone, the harvest in the fields is not ideal, and people starve to death. thing.

Therefore, many people in the village are frantically picking things at home. When there are not many insects and there are still some wild vegetables, they should save more things at home. After all, when they arrive, there may be a barren land in front of them. Well, it's still pretty scary to think about.

"Mom and dad, I'm back, the meal is ready and ready to eat." Pauline said to the couple who were not far in front from the door of the main room.

"Hey, we'll be right there." After Su Hongying finished speaking, she quickened her pace, ignoring Wang Jiandang who kept trying to hold her and explain to her.

She is very upset now. Of course, this is for Wang Jiandang, and it has nothing to do with Bao Lin. She will not slap her face on Bao Lin. This is still very principled.

When they got to the kitchen, Su Hongying scooped the floating water from the water tank on her own, and drank it from the edge of the gourd scoop.

"Gudong. Gudong" a few times, half a scoop of water all entered Su Hongying's stomach.

"Hongying, listen to my explanation. It's not what you saw. I just saw that she was about to fall, and subconsciously grabbed her arm and held her back. There was absolutely no other meaning." Wang Jiandang He walked to Su Hongying's side and grabbed her arm.

There was some helplessness in the words, but it was more urgent. He didn't want this misunderstanding to affect the harmonious life of their family.

Heaven and earth conscience, what is his name with that? It seems to be chrysanthemum. Juying is really unfamiliar, and has never had any contacts. This time, while catching insects in a sweet potato field, the woman's foot was swollen, and her eyes When he was about to fall, something happened right in front of him, very close to him, so he just helped him, it really was nothing.

It happened that his daughter-in-law saw the scene of him helping people, and then he was tragic.

Although Su Hongying didn't say anything, let alone quarrel with him, but seeing her like that, Wang Jiandang, who knew her very well, knew that she must be angry now.

"Oh." Su Hongying gave Wang Jiandang a fixed look, her words were very indifferent, then she put down the gourd and walked out without even glancing at Wang Jiandang.

She knew that Wang Jiandang had nothing to do with Chen Juying, but she felt uncomfortable, not only because of seeing Wang Jiandang holding Chen Juying's hand, but also because of Chen Juying.

In normal times, she and Chen Juying didn't deal with each other at all. Every now and then, they would quarrel, and it was not that they had never fought, just because Chen Juying would stab her with unpleasant words such as the filial piety of the son, because She is doing better than her now, this kind of woman, such a hateful woman, Wang Jiandang actually went to help her, this is too much trouble!

Of course, she's not easy to mess with, you must know that Chen Juying's life in Shanghe Village was not very happy, an arrogant man, a mother-in-law who likes to pick things up, a concubine who has been cunning and mean, there are so many things that can be said. , every time she can make Chen Juying half to death.

The two women have been hurting each other for many years, and I don't know how they persevered.

It's no wonder that Wang Jiandang just helped Liu Juying, and Su Hongying was so angry that he was going to die. This is a naked enemy of capital!
