After saying this, Mr. Su patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, everyone can use the medicine when it works."

"Okay, then I'd like to thank you, big brother." After hearing what Grandpa Su said, Su Wenfu finally smiled.

"Why are you being polite to your brothers?"

Watching Su Wenfu leave, Old Man Su didn't say much, "Which one do you want to exchange now?"

"It's the juice of the hairy fish vine. The two plots of land are together, so it's easy to compare." Su Ziling opened the bamboo tube, took the gourd ladle, and poured it in carefully.

This bucket of water weighs more than 20 kilograms. Even if she increases the dosage, it is only about 10 milliliters, which is just a big gulp.

There was no way to measure it, so Su Ziling could only make a rough estimate. After pouring the medicine, we gently stirred it with a ladle. Everyone held a spray gun, and the speed was much faster than before.

In just a moment, the entire area was sprayed.

"Dad, it seems that the juice of the hairy fish vine is indeed more powerful. Look, the insects have already started to move after just spraying it."

Father Su was so excited that he walked along the way, not missing a single corn plant and taking a look at each one.

It's no wonder that Father Su was excited. This borer basically curls up in a ball and sleeps during the day, not moving at all. As long as there is no threat, it is basically as good as dead.

At night, his appetite finally came back and he got up to eat some corn seedlings.

As soon as the medicine was sprayed, the insects began to move, and Father Su was naturally excited.

"Let's go. It's still early. Let's spray two more plots of land and come back tomorrow to see the results." Grandpa Su was also excited. If this medicine worked, they wouldn't have to be afraid of these insects in the future.

When they moved to another place, there was no water there, and there was still a little bit of the medicine in the bucket that had not been sprayed out. So Su Ziling and the others each filled a bamboo tube and sprayed it all on the corn leaves.

After the bucket was emptied, Su's father went to fetch two more buckets of water. Su Zizhong carried the peach leaf juice, and several people moved to another position.

I changed to another piece of land, and the borers in this piece of land were not so serious, but the peach leaf liquid was too heavy, so I sprayed it all over the land.

The juice of the hairy fish vine is relatively small and easy to carry, so you can save it and spray it somewhere else tomorrow.

They worked until the evening, and had sprayed all the peach leaf liquid they had carried, and about one-third of the ground had been sprayed. When they came back, they went to take a look at the place where they had first sprayed.

The effect is more obvious now. Many insects have crawled out and are lying motionless on the leaves. Some are dead, while others are still breathing.

Seeing this, Mr. Su finally felt relieved. He was basically certain that the medicine was effective.

The sun had already set and the sky had darkened, but the family's hearts were especially bright.

Everyone has been busy all day, but there is no sign of fatigue. Everyone is excited, as if they were injected with chicken blood.

"Grandma! We are back!!!"

Su Ziling started yelling before he even opened the door.

"I heard it, I heard it. Not only did I hear it, I'm afraid the whole village heard it." Grandma Su walked out of the kitchen with a pot of hot water in her hand.

"Come over here quickly, wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

The buckets and ladles that had been stained with medicine were all placed in a corner. They also reminded Su's mother and grandmother, "Grandma, don't touch these things. There are medicines in them, especially this ladle. You have to burn it after use."

If the gourd ladle is soaked in water for a long time, the medicine will be absorbed into it. To be on the safe side, you have to burn it after use.

But this gourd is not difficult to find, so I don’t really feel bad if I lose a few of them.

"Okay, got it. Wash your hands quickly. I've put the soapberries here for you. Scrub them several times."

"Grandma, don't you want to ask me how the effect is? Aren't you curious about whether this medicine is effective?"

Su Ziling asked while rubbing his hands.

Grandma Su: "Do you still need to ask? I knew it when you were still outside the door. Besides, look at your grandpa's face."

Su Ziling took a look and smiled happily, "Grandpa, you are smiling so happily."

"The medicine is working, how can I not be happy? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat. I've been starving for a long time." Grandpa Su didn't even wipe his hands after washing them. He just shook them and went into the kitchen.

The meal tonight was exceptionally simple, but the family enjoyed it very much. Knowing that the medicine had taken effect, everyone was very happy. Grandpa Su also said that they would go and see again tomorrow. If all the patients were really dead, he would prescribe medicine and ask Father Su to send some to Uncle Li's family and Third Aunt's family.

"Don't worry about my third aunt's family," Su Ziling was thinking that his third aunt's sisters-in-law were not easy to deal with and might not appreciate it when the time comes.

Even if Su's father worked hard to deliver it, I'm afraid people won't know how to use it, or won't spray it according to the requirements. If it goes wrong, they will be blamed.

"It's not a good idea to just leave it alone. After all, they are my daughter-in-law's family. Your grandmother's family gave it, but they didn't. Don't let them have any complaints later." Grandpa Su said in embarrassment.

"It's not like we're just going to leave it alone. Let's try another approach. I'll take care of the details, and you guys don't have to worry about it, Grandpa. Once we're done spraying this wave of pesticides, it's time to plant the rice seedlings. After that, the chayote seedlings in the wasteland can be raised to vines. There are also side buds, and if there are too many, we'll have to pinch some of them off."

Su Ziling also reminded them, "Don't throw away the tip after you pinch it. You can stir-fry it or eat it cold. It would be a pity to throw it away."

Speaking of transplanting rice, Su's mother frowned, "I went to the vegetable garden today and took a look at the seedlings. They can be transplanted, but the situation doesn't seem right."

"Something's wrong?" Su Ziling thought for a moment, "Could there be bugs again?"

Mother Su shook her head. "It's not insects. The seedlings this year were spread with manure. They looked black in the early stage, which is much better than in previous years. When I went to check today, I found that the leaves outside were a little yellow."

"Only the leaves outside are yellow, not the inside?" asked Su's father.

"No, it's just that the leaves outside have turned yellow."

"That's OK. I guess he's just old. When we're done with the work here, we'll go plant rice and spread some manure and stove ash on the fields. It won't be a big problem."

"I'll go and take a look tomorrow morning. If there are no insects, everyone will be happy. I'm just afraid it's a rice leafhopper." After all, Grandpa Su has experienced a lot, and he doesn't think things are as simple as Su's father.

Hearing what Grandpa Su said, Father Su was stunned, "If it really is the rice leafhopper, then we won't be able to grow rice this year."

Grandpa Su shook his head. "It's not that serious. It's not even May yet, so it's not particularly active yet. I guess it's just waking up a little bit now. When the time comes, we'll clear the grass around the fields, sprinkle some stove ash, or put some grass on the ridges and burn them. We'll still be able to harvest some millet."
