Hard times have room

Chapter 517
"Pauline. Paulin" Su Hongying subconsciously called Baolin over.

Well, she wants to eat this big white rice. She hasn't eaten any serious food for so many days, so she's thirsty.

It was Pauline who cooked at home, so she subconsciously wanted to ask Pauline to cook with rice, but fortunately she held back at the last moment, otherwise, she would be embarrassed.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Pauline replied, holding the fried grasshopper she had just brought out in her hand.

As soon as she went out, she saw his father. Her mother was holding a bag in one hand, a handful of rice in the other, and a small bag at her feet. She suddenly understood what was going on.

"Your dad has scooped the rice back, and I will use this white rice to cook porridge tonight." Su Hongying put the rice bag back into Wang Jiandang's hands naturally, and then walked over to Bao Lin as if nothing had happened. , reaching for something to eat from the bowl she was holding.

She could smell it from far away, but it was really fragrant!
This fried grasshopper is not the same as the sun-dried one. It tastes fresh. Anyway, she prefers the fried grasshopper, which is fragrant and chewy. It tastes a little saltier than before. It tastes so much better.

However, it's a bit small. Su Hongying looked at the grasshopper in the big soup bowl at home with regret. That's all, divided by three people, it seems that she can't share much!
Worrying in her heart, Su Hongying reached out to the bowl that Bao Lin was holding. This time, instead of one or two, she grabbed a large handful.

After getting it, she "calmly and calmly" retrieved the stick she had left aside before, picked it up, walked to the side, turned her back to the father and daughter, squatted down, took one bite, and ate it. of fragrance.

Bao Lin looked at someone's back helplessly and smiled. She felt that her mother's performance was much more naive than hers. The back of her hiding her ears and stealing bells really made people laugh.

The same is true for Wang Jiandang, but he held back, and now he can't make a sound, especially any sound related to "laughing".

Neither father and daughter made a sound. Now Su Hongying turned her back to them. No matter how happy the father and daughter laughed and opened their mouths, it would be fine, but if they laughed out loud, Su Hongying felt embarrassed. , then something happened.

Because today, she will always remember it, pick a little thorn and find fault whenever she has the opportunity, and she will not give up until she returns that memo.

That's right, it's such a vengeance, be careful.

"Dad, have something to eat?" Pauline asked, shaking the bowl she was holding.

"Wait a minute, I'll put the rice in the back room first." Although Wang Jiandang was moved, he also knew what the most important thing was right now.

"Okay, I put it on the table, remember to get it!" Pauline said this to her father as well as to her mother. It's up to them to take action or not.

After she finished speaking, she grabbed a handful and put the bowl in the center of the table in the main room.

This time, the frying was a little less, but she felt it was just right, because if there are too many grasshoppers in the pot, one is not evenly fried, and the other is not finished, the fried grasshoppers still have to be hot. Delicious, cold, that's another flavor.

Afterwards, Pauline walked out of the gate of her house, walking slowly under the sun, eating while walking, and walking around her yard.

The pumpkins planted at home had been completely ripped up by insects, and even the vines and leaves had been nibbled clean.

The food is gone, the bugs are gone, and the base has changed. Now her yard is very bare when you look at it. There is only a clump of wormwood in the corner. As for mint, to be honest, there is not much left. .

Although there are very few worms that like to eat mint leaves and poles, few do not mean none!

No, the mint in the corner of her yard has almost been afflicted, and her family doesn't care, and she can't control it.

At present, only the wormwood is still luxuriantly growing in her yard, but it is uncertain how long it can stay. Maybe one day, insects that like to eat wormwood will come to her yard. Green can't keep up.

Looking at the place where the pumpkin vines used to grow, Pauline felt distressed for a while. If I remember correctly, the last time she went to school, the pumpkin was already bearing fruit. The biggest one was as big as two of her fists. result
She asked her parents about the specific situation. Those green pumpkins that weren't considered big were picked and eaten by them when the insects increased in large numbers. After all, if you don't eat them, the insects are really cheap. Anyway, they are food. The taste of small pumpkins not bad.

If nothing else, this pumpkin is growing well. When the old pumpkins are harvested in the fall, there will be hundreds of kilograms of pumpkins to harvest. In winter, this pumpkin is one of the important foods. heart is aching.

In addition to the bugs that plagued the pumpkins she planted in the front yard, the two pomegranate trees she planted in the spring were not spared either.

She planted the two pomegranate trees. That's right, they were planted with pomegranate seeds. I just tried it out, but I didn't expect it to happen.

This is the pomegranate seed she specially set aside. It is the pomegranate she thinks tastes the best. The pomegranate skin is thin and juicy and the seeds are small. Anyway, she likes it as soon as she eats it, so she specially kept one outside and eat it. After that, the seeds were dried by her and put away.

Although there are still pomegranates in the space now, they are also harvested from the homes of people who grow pomegranate trees in the county town, but after so long, the categories that were specially classified before have long been mixed together, and the taste is good or not, it depends on luck .

She had thought that pomegranates would be difficult to grow, but unexpectedly, one kind was actually planted for her, although only two of the dozens of pomegranate seeds survived. .

It's just that when there are too many insects, some of them go to harm her pomegranate tree. When she came back this time, she found that the leaves on the pomegranate tree were all eaten up by insects.

The only good thing is that the tree doesn't seem to be dead. The evidence is that she broke a little branch and found that it was not withered. The skin was still green and very tough.

Every few days, the pomegranate tree, which was as high as her thighs, would grow a few tender leaves, but before long, these leaves would be eaten up by insects.

It was like this over and over again, and Pauline didn't give much hope when she saw it. After all, the conditions were really bad.

Although I don't have much hope, when I have time, Pauline will still water the two trees, loosen the soil, and throw some rotting branches and leaves or silt on them. Now she can't get fertilizer. She can only use these things that she thinks are nutritious to fertilize.

If she is lucky, one or even two of them will survive!
She is still waiting to eat the fruit!

The sooner this fruit is eaten, the better.
