Chapter 78: Oolong
He Hongjin breathed out a headache and walked towards Lu Miao.
"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? What's the problem?"
He Hongjin's tone was not good.
Lu Miao saw a sad little face, and the fear on his face had not completely faded away, "Captain, there are insects in the cotton field!"
"That's it?" He Hongjin almost laughed angrily. He was about to get angry but then he saw that the places where Lu Miao had hoeed the grass were carefully tidied up. He couldn't help but softened his tone, "Isn't it normal to have a few insects in the crop field? Hurry up. , do the work neatly After finishing the work, we will be off work in half an hour. "
At this time, all aspects of production are lagging behind. We have to compete for quotas for fertilizers and pesticides, and the quotas are pitifully low. Generally, crops are not sprayed with pesticides, and the fields are dry. Insects are normal.
But for Lu Miao, the fact that there were insects in the cotton field was not the point. The point was that the insects fell into her clothes and clung to her flesh!
She even squeezed it to pieces with one hand...
Lu Miao couldn't even imagine the scene just now. She had always been afraid of soft-bodied insects such as earthworms, caterpillars, and green worms.
Maybe it wasn't fear, but bugs with soft tissue made her feel nauseous, and they would cause strong physical discomfort once encountered. In short, in contrast, even if a snake came over, she wouldn't be so scared.
He Hongjin asked Lu Miao to work honestly. Lu Miao shook his head, his beautiful little face became stubborn and refused to live or die, "No, there are insects in the cotton field! I won't work here anymore!"
"If you don't do it here, where can you do it? It's just a few bugs, just crush them and trample them to death!"
He Hongjin shouted, and he was about to drive Lu Miao to the ground.
Lu Miao was really scared. For a second, she turned into a three-year-old child, stamping her feet and screaming, "I won't! I won't!"
Her voice was as sharp as a whistle, making He Hongjin's forehead veins bulge.
He Hongjin was simply caught by her child's shameless, brazen and yelling temperament. He started to squeal and pull, and several heads popped up around him to take stock of the situation.
Afraid that he would distract others if he continued to toss, He Hongjin sternly scolded:
“If you don’t want to work here, go to the paddy fields to cut millet! There are snakes everywhere there, so go ahead if you are not afraid!”< br>
This statement has the element of scaring people. If a few bugs can kill people, then if you go to the paddy field and catch a snake, wouldn't it be even more nonsense?
He Hongjin was sure that Lu Miao would stay in the cotton field, but what was the truth?
In front of him, Lu Miao breathed a sigh of relief, smiled lightly and said "thank you" with a Guanyin face, turned around, picked up his hat and ran away, not even the hoe on the field ridge. Got it!
He Hongjin's black face wrinkled into chrysanthemums in confusion, he picked up a hoe and chased after him, not forgetting to emphasize:
"Lu Zhiqing, I have already said hello to you, there are snakes in the paddy fields! Do you know about snakes?"
Lu Miao waved her hand thoughtfully, "It's okay, captain, I'm not afraid of snakes, I'll be careful, you don't have to give me away!"
"...Huh? Oh, oh..."
He Hongjin, who was politely refused to "send off", stood on the ridge of the field with a confused face, scratching the back of his head in confusion.
Looking at the green cotton field beside him and the golden rice fields in the distance, He Hongjin couldn't figure it out. How could a few small bugs be more terrifying than a snake?
Is there something wrong with this Lu educated youth?
Although he didn’t believe that Lu Miao could work well in the paddy field, he was already far away, and He Hongjin couldn’t really catch up.
We can only take one step at a time, and if something goes wrong, we can only wait until something goes wrong.
... Lu Miao moved from the cotton field to the paddy field. In response to He Hongjin's words, she actually encountered a snake when cutting grain, but she was frightened at the first sight. As soon as she jumped, the snake behind her was obviously more afraid of her. It spit out the snake's tongue "hissingly" and was as fast as lightning, and disappeared in a flash.
The uncle working next to him had some experience. He took long strides and chased after the swaying ears of grain. The sickle in his hand had turned around at some point, looking for the right moment. He smashed it down several times, and when he came back a short while later, he already had a fat cauliflower snake in his hand with its head smashed to pieces but its tail still twisting.
“Oh, Comrade Educated Youth, thanks to you, the few mouths in the old man’s room can finally have something to eat at noon today, hahaha!”
Lu Miao rubbed her muddy hands against the broken hair that had fallen down the side of her face. Her fair face was wrinkled, with confusion, surprise, and understanding. Several emotions intertwined with each other in an instant.
She lost her voice and licked her lips, and it took her a long time to find her voice: "Uncle, if you take this snake home to eat, you must remember to cook it for a while."
Snake There are many parasites on the body.
"What's the matter? Are you afraid that I'm not good at it, old man?"
The uncle's dark and thin face broke into a smile. Apart from joy, there was a trace of carelessness in his words and deeds, " You kids from the city don’t understand. We see a lot of snakes in the countryside and eat them a lot. Have you seen the boy in that field?”
The uncle pointed in the distance. Lu Miao squinted and nodded slowly.
“Hahaha, do you know why they are so motivated?”
Lu Miao cut the grain slowly and replied:
"It's not because of the young Physique? It can't be because of eating snakes, right? Uncle, don't lie to me. If you try to fool me, I'll get angry."
The old man laughed with his childlike remarks. Laugh:
"Of course the bones of a young body are like this."
The uncle gave a thumbs up, and then added: "But it is also inseparable from eating snakes, don't you know? What you eat will replenish your blood, and snake blood will replenish your blood. And that snake gallbladder can improve your eyesight if you eat it raw!”
Eating snake gall raw...
Lu Miao felt a chill and felt bad all over: "Eating raw snake gall can improve eyesight, and the snake blood can replenish blood... shouldn't it be drank directly by bleeding it?"< br>
The uncle joked: "Isn't that true?"
Lu Miao hissed, and the hairs on his arms stood up. He screamed softly and jumped several steps away, fearing that he would be stuffed with snake blood.
She may not understand the feudal or traditional customs and habits, but hearing the news about eating snake gallbladder raw, drinking snake blood raw, etc., is really no less than when she squeezed the bugs with her bare hands. Uncomfortable!
The uncle couldn't help being frightened when he saw Lu Miao. He laughed a few times and stopped teasing her.
Just as the whistle for dismissal came from the team, the uncle held the sickle in one hand and the snake that had stopped vertically in the other. He smiled and said hello to Lu Miao, "Okay, we're here. It’s time to finish work, Comrade Educated Youth, the little old man will leave first, so as not to stink of snakes later.”
After saying this, I had already taken the lead to go home.
Lu Miao wiped off the sweat on his forehead, shook his head with suffocation, slid up the field step by step, and followed behind to the educated youth spot in the team.
On the way, she met Ren Bingxin and others who were returning from a paddy field elsewhere. She trotted up to meet them.
Ren Bingxin saw that she was carrying cloth shoes and her bare feet were still muddy. She curiously asked: "Didn't you go to the cotton field? What happened to you?"
