Chapter Ling Tianyang remembers that because the family couldn't open the pot, Wang had no choice but to send her, Xiao Si and Lao San to her grandfather's house in Xiaba. The egg was boiled by her grandfather for Xiao Si to eat. Thinking of this

, Ling Tianyang feels sad. In their family, the second child is suffering the most. Ling Tianyang is her elder sister, and she has two younger brothers. He is involved in almost all the family work. Fortunately, the family conditions are better now.

Otherwise, the second child, with his small body of five or six years old, would definitely be crushed.

"Well, okay, then let's give our chicken to Xiao Si?" Ling Tianyang rubbed Xiao Si's head, but he was thinking about how to get Dr. Yuan to accept the second child as his disciple? Forget it, let's start with

Let's teach her how to read characters. Based on her current IQ of over 20 years old, it shouldn't be too difficult to learn these ancient characters. Besides, aren't they just traditional Chinese characters? They look similar to simplified characters.

"Sister, I will dig up crickets and feed the chickens every day!" Xiao Si patted his chest and promised Ling Tianyang.

Ling Tianyang has a black thread on his head and digs for it every day. What if the crickets are dug out by Xiaosi and become extinct? "Xiaosi, in fact, we not only need to feed crickets to the chickens, but also grasshoppers and caterpillars. All of them are fine."

Xiao Si looked at Ling Tianyang pitifully. He knew that he could feed grasshoppers, but did the chickens eat other things?

"Xiao Si, do you think you have to eat vegetables for every meal?" Xiao Si nodded honestly, "The chickens also need to eat some vegetables, so they all dig up crickets and feed them to the chickens."

"I understand!" After hearing what Ling Tianyang said, Xiaosi quickly said something to Ling Tianyang and ran away. Ling Tianyang shook his head looking at Xiaosi's small figure.

Just as Ling Wensheng expected, the two acres of dry land were harvested in one day. The next step was to undress the grains, thresh them and put them in the warehouse. The family was so busy that their feet never touched the ground.

The rice in the rice fields is about to be harvested, but Ling Wensheng went out several times and came back with a sad face. It turned out that there were too many grasshoppers in the fields and almost all the rice leaves were eaten. If this continues, this year's rice harvest will also be poor.

Big discount.

Ling Tianyang took his second child, third child, and fourth child, and his brothers and sisters each holding five chicks in their hands, and went to their fields. Wang went to town today to buy chicks. This was Ling Tianyang's request.

I wonder if there were any pesticides in ancient times. I had no choice but to use the most primitive method and take the chickens to kill the insects.

There were many children in the field that day, and they all brought their own chickens. The grown-up chickens were not brought because the rice was almost mature. The hens not only ate locusts but also the rice. The ducks were not allowed to bring them either.

Eat rice.

When he arrived at his own field, Ling Tianyang untied the straw ropes from the legs of the five chickens in his hand and drove them into the rice fields. The second and third children also let go of the chickens in their hands and untied his own chickens.

, watching them running happily into the fields, Ling Tianyang squatted down and untied Xiaosi's chicken.

The four siblings each guard one side to prevent the chickens from running out of the rice field. They also hold a bamboo pole in their hands, with a rag hanging on the top of the bamboo pole. This can be used to drive away the chickens and to prevent eagles. The eagles are the worst.

What he likes is the chicken. He holds a bamboo pole in his hand. When he sees an eagle, he waves the bamboo pole and the eagle will be driven away. This is a common method in the countryside, similar to a scarecrow.

Xiao Si has an extra bamboo pole in his hand, which was made for him by the second brother. On the top of Xiao Si's bamboo pole is an oval made of bamboo strips, which can be dipped into spider webs, and then dragonflies can be dipped into it.

, Xiaosi likes this thing. In fact, Ling Tianyang also likes it, but she only dares to play with it when she is at home, but dare not take it out because she is fourteen years old and is about to get married, so Wang grabbed Ling Tianyang.

With her ears, she was taught a hard lesson not to play with that.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xiaosi's joyful scream rang out, "Wow, second brother, I caught a dragonfly!" Xiaosi held a bamboo pole in one hand and a dragonfly in the other. He was very small, so he took both.

If you can't lift it, just drag it away with the bamboo pole.

The second child smiled and took the dragonfly from Xiaosi's hand, "Xiaosi, catch the dragonfly like this, otherwise it will bleed if bitten!"

Xiaosi was frightened by the second brother, so he quickly let go of his hand and checked the direct palm, "Second brother, look, have you been bitten?"

Ling Tianyang thought it was a bit funny and walked over with a smile. The third child also ran over with a smile, "Second child, Dragonfly is so powerful, are you deceiving the fourth child?"

"Why should I lie to him? I was bitten when I was a child. The black dragonfly and the red dragonfly are the most powerful ones. They are very powerful and won't let you go even if they bite you."

"Ah? Second brother, are you really that powerful?"

"Second brother, let's go catch the dragonfly you mentioned, shall we?"

The second child started to break off the dragonfly's wings and said, "Let's go and see if there are any?"

"Hey, second child, what are you doing?" When the second child broke off the dragonfly's wings just now, she thought that the second child was afraid that the dragonfly would run away, but she didn't expect that the second child would tear off the dragonfly's tail again.

"Eat!"

The second child's answer made Ling Tianyang feel that he was messy in the wind again. Eat, can you eat dragonflies? "Stop! Second child, you can't eat dragonflies!"

"Sister, why? It's not like we haven't eaten before, have you forgotten?" The third child pursed his lips and looked at his sister dissatisfied.

"Ah? I've eaten it before?" Ling Tianyang searched the memory in her mind. Okay, she admitted that she was really vicious. It turned out that the children here would go to the fields to catch dragonflies every summer and autumn.

Then tear off the wings, tail and head, leaving only a small section of the body in the middle. Pick off the green peppers, clean the inside, then put the dragonfly meat in, add some salt and soy sauce, and cook it over the fire. It is very delicious.

Ling Tianyang couldn't help but swallow hard as she thought about it. The dragonfly in her memory was really delicious when cooked, but she just felt it was so cruel!

"Of course, you ate it last year!" the second child replied without hesitation.

"Sister, you are the one who eats the most!" The third child pouted dissatisfiedly, forget it, he doesn't care about her, who makes her his sister.

Well, Ling Tianyang even twitched the corner of her mouth fiercely. She still remembered that their family's living conditions were not good these years, and they could not eat meat once in half a year, so the children would go to the rice fields to catch dragonflies, and sometimes go to the river.

There you can catch crabs, fish, and eat meat.

"Well, we can't eat dragonflies anymore, they are beneficial insects!" Ling Tianyang said bitterly, not wanting to think about the smell of burning dragonflies.

"Beneficial insects? What are beneficial insects?"

“What are beneficial insects?”

The two younger ones asked at the same time. The younger one raised his little head and stared at Ling Tianyang with a pair of bright eyes, "Beneficial insects are insects that are beneficial to us. You don't know, this dragonfly eats the pests on our rice.

So we can’t eat them, we have to let them catch pests for us!”

"Really?" The third child still didn't believe it because he didn't want to give up the meat in his mouth.

"Nonsense, sister, why did I lie to you when I had nothing to do?"

"Sister, let's catch some dragonflies and put them in our fields?" As soon as the second child heard that they could eat pests, he immediately thought of the locusts in the rice fields. If the dragonflies could also catch grasshoppers, he wouldn't eat them.

Ling Tianyang felt that the three little ones were really hard to deceive. If their family was rich, she really wanted to send them all to school. "Well, the pests I'm talking about are not just grasshoppers. Dragonflies are not big either.

How can you catch a grasshopper? It eats other pests." Anyway, Ling Tianyang has never seen a dragonfly eat a grasshopper, because no matter how powerful the dragonfly is, it is only such a small one, but it is a spider. In his previous life, he often saw them using spider webs to catch grasshoppers.

, and then eat them. Besides, if you catch the dragonflies in the field, they might fly away as soon as you let them go. How can you let them stay outside in the field? Hey, how did it get here?

"We can't eat dragonflies, so why don't we catch some spiders and put them in the fields, they will eat grasshoppers!" Ling Tianyang patted his head and said to them quickly.

"good!"

Ling Tianyang and the other three decided to catch some spiders. Xiaosi raised his head pitifully, looking at his sisters and brothers who had just decided that they had no dragonflies. Thinking of not being able to eat such fragrant dragonfly meat, Xiaosi's eyes were filled with tears.

Full of tears, he gently tugged on Ling Tianyang's sleeves.

Ling Tianyang was extremely embarrassed by Xiao Si. If it weren't for her, they could all eat dragonflies. Now that the meat in the mouth is gone, it's normal for Xiao Si to feel sad. But, Xiao Si, can you stop looking at her like this?

It made her feel as if she was guilty, "Xiaosi, don't feel bad. I will make sweet and sour pork ribs for you tomorrow when mother comes back. How about it?"

Because the rice was about to be harvested, Ling Tianyang asked Wang to go to the town to buy some meat and marinate it for everyone to eat, so as to replenish their physical strength. He also asked Wang to see if there were any bones. If the one was cheaper, buy it and stew it for a few people.

Small ones to eat. In short, Ling Tianyang’s original words were: Mom, just buy whatever you think is cheap. Anyway, everything in a pig is a treasure.

"Sister, what are sweet and sour spareribs?" The third child came over mischievously, staring at Ling Tianyang closely, as if Ling Tianyang was the steaming plate of sweet and sour spareribs.

"Why do you care about so many things? Just do what you have to do. You will know tomorrow night anyway. Xiaosi, please keep an eye on it. Let's go catch some spiders and bring them back." Ling Tianyang knocked the third child hard on the head and blessed him.

After making a sound, he walked towards other fields.

The second child was now similar to Ling Wensheng and Wang. He believed in Ling Tianyang very much, so he also put down his bamboo pole and ran towards home. The third child followed behind the second child. Ling Tianyang couldn't go far, so he had to look around.

Xiao Si was bored, so he strung the caught grasshoppers one by one with thatch and put them on the field ridge. Ling Tianyang walked around for a while and found that there were very few spiders in the field, so he also followed Xiao Si to catch grasshoppers.

In the evening of the next day, Wang followed the oxcart from Bajiaowo back. When Wang arrived home, Ling Tianyang was still catching grasshoppers in the field with three children.

"Sister, let's go back quickly, mother is back." Xiaosi's little body jumped straight into the fields. If Ling Tianyang hadn't pulled him, he would have gone to the fields in a hurry. Fortunately, the rice fields have been drained now, so if you want to

Otherwise, Ling Tianyang would never go to the fields, because there are locusts in the fields, and Ling Tianyang is more afraid of them.

"What's the hurry? Second Brother, we're going home." Ling Tianyang grabbed Xiaosi's collar and shouted to Second Brother and the others.

Each of them drove one group at a time, and soon drove out twenty chicks.

Xiao Si was rushing in front alone, and Ling Tianyang, Lao Er and the others laughed loudly. Their small bodies were running very fast with their short legs. Since the first time they sold gallnuts

In the beginning, I only bought things for the younger ones, so buying food with them seems to have become a must, which is why the fourth child ran so fast.

The fourth child ran in front, and the third child shouted loudly from behind: "Little four, if you don't run quickly, I will go back and eat your things!"

Hearing this, Xiao Si ran faster. Ling Tianyang glared at Lao San fiercely, "If Xiao Si falls down later, just comfort him!" Turning to Xiao Si, he said: "Xiao Si, you

Run slower, I will keep an eye on your third brother and make sure you are the first one to get home."

But Ling Tianyang's words didn't seem to have any effect. Xiao Si still ran so fast. Ling Tianyang had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and chased the twenty chickens away.

From a distance, I heard Xiao Si’s soft and waxy voice, “Mother, mother!”

Mrs. Wang replied loudly in the house, Ling Tianyang and the others came back and closed the chicken before entering the house.

In the outer room were placed the things Wang bought this time. There was a chicken coop with about a dozen chicks in it. Xiao Si was currently holding a bunch of candied haws and chewing it, and holding a piece of halva in the other hand.

, there are two buns in front of him, and there are candied haws on the corners of his mouth, which looks very funny.

"Yangyang, come on, let's eat a bun first and cook slowly, don't rush!" Wang looked at the children lovingly. She knew that Ling Wensheng complained that there were too many grasshoppers in the fields, so the children went to the fields to catch them every day.

Grasshopper was under the sun every day, and her skin as white as Yangyang was tanned. This made Mrs. Wang feel extremely distressed. Ling Tianyang was the only daughter in their family.

"Mom, why did you buy so much food today?" Ling Tianyang knew that Wang had always been frugal. When had he ever bought so much food, such as candied haws, candies, and steamed buns?

"You kid, is your mother very stingy? It's not that you didn't have money before, but you are also tired these days. Mother wants to buy some food to reward you." Wang glanced at Ling Tianyang angrily, picked up a bun and

Pass it to Ling Tianyang.
