Sturdy Countryside: Lord, Please Blow The Lamp

She just suddenly remembered that although there are no crops in the field, locusts will never go into the water to eat those fish, right?

Her water quality is not bad, why not take advantage of the darkness tonight and go to the pond behind to see what fish can be caught, so as to temporarily wrap her stomach.

Although it is almost September now, it is not too cold, so there should be no problem entering the water.

"Grandma, when it gets dark, I'll go to the pond at the back to see if I can catch some fish." She took the bowl, scooped up a spoonful of egg custard, and handed it to Xia Sang's mouth.

"No, Jiuniang, the pond is deep, so I can't go there." Xia Sang said quickly after hearing her words.

I didn't dare to go to that pond on weekdays because the water was too deep.

"Grandma, don't worry, Jiu Niang's water quality is not bad, she will be fine, eat first." She comforted Xia Sang, and passed the spoon to her mouth again.

Seeing that Jiuniang was determined to let her eat this bowl of egg custard together, Xia Sang just opened her mouth and took a bite.

"Jiu Niang, listen to grandma, don't go to the pond behind, if you want to eat meat, grandma will kill our old hen later..."

"Grandma, please don't, you can't kill an old hen." Before Xia Sang could finish speaking, Xia Beibei hurriedly stopped her.

"Is there anything you can't kill? There is not even a vegetable leaf in the field now, and people are starving to death. Where can there be anything for the hens to eat?" Xia Sang said dejectedly. People can't eat enough, so they still feed What about the chicken?

She would have killed the hen if it hadn't been for the fact that the hen occasionally laid an egg.

"Grandma, there are so many locusts out there, aren't they all chicken food?" Xia Beibei hurriedly said, "Hens eat insects, just like we eat meat, so they are nutritious."

"That's right." Xia Sang's eyes lit up immediately after being reminded by Xia Beibei.

"Grandma didn't think of it. Later, I have to catch some locusts to feed the hen, so that it can lay eggs for us every day." She clapped her hands, and immediately felt that this was the best thing to do.

"And, grandma, you are very close to Grandma Li at the east end of the village. Let's borrow her rooster and feed it for twenty days, shall we?"

"Borrow a rooster? What are you doing?" Xia Sang couldn't figure it out this time.

One old hen is enough to raise, and another rooster is needed? How many locusts do you have to catch? However, I don't go to the ground to grow vegetables every day, but dig tree roots, and I have plenty of time to catch locusts.

"Grandma, a hen can hatch chicks."

"Hatch... hatch chicks?" Xia Sang was stunned, she never thought that a hen could hatch chicks, and besides, her old hen had never hatched chicks either.

"Yeah, let's borrow the rooster from Grandma Li's house, and when the chick hatches, give her half of it, isn't that all right?"

"But... can this work?" Xia Sang hesitated a little, as it sounded unreliable.

"Grandma, if you don't try, how do you know it won't work?" Now that the outside is deserted, if you don't figure out something at home, you will starve to death.

"Then... I'll go to Sister Li's house to borrow it." Although Xia Sang is still hesitant in her heart, what her granddaughter said is definitely not wrong. Even if it doesn't work, it's okay to try.
