Farmer's little scholar

"I can only catch bugs by myself? There is no other way?" Mo Qiyu asked with some doubts.

"Otherwise, what else can we do?" Cui Shi was very dissatisfied.

Mo Qiyu looked at Lin Xu, Lin Xu nodded and said, "I can only catch it by myself. My mother and I have already caught it once. But there are still bugs. We have to continue to catch them."

Mo Qiyu thought for a while and said, "Let's get more plant ash and sprinkle it on the crops to reduce pest damage."

Lin Xu and Cui looked at him in shock, but did not respond for a long time.Even Lin Ming was a little stunned.

"Is this true?" Cui stepped forward and grabbed Mo Qiyu's arm and asked anxiously.

"Son, how dare you lie to you. Of course it is true, and it is very useful." He looked at his rose again and said, "Why don't we scatter plant ash here first, and if we use it again, we scatter it in the crops?"

"Scatter" Cui's final word.Lin Xu also hurriedly went to the stove and fetched plant ash, and the three of them quickly sprinkled it into the soil.

After dinner and packing up, it was already dark.Lin Xu and Lin Ming were asked by Mo Qiyu to go to the small study to practice their calligraphy.

You have to write twenty words for one word, and you have to check it later.Although the light is dim, it brightens their hearts.And Mo Qiyu and Cui Shi are in the lobby, making watering cans.

Cui found a small pot made of ceramics at home, and Mo Qiyu tied the spout with washed rabbit skin.Then I took the needle, roasted it under the oil lamp, and then stuck it on the rabbit skin, making a small round hole.

Cui didn't quite understand what Mo Qiyu was going to do, but when she poured water into the pot and tilted it slightly, the water split into several streams and flowed out from the spout.

Cui looked at the white water in surprise, opened her round almond eyes, and said to Mo Qiyu, "Okay, son. I didn't expect you to be quite smart."

Mo Qiyu: Thank you for the compliment.

Holding the watering can, Cui couldn't put it down, thinking about the original intention of doing this, and asked: "Just spray the water from the plant ash on the crop leaves like this? How much should I spray? Just once or twice. "As he spoke, Cui just used the watering can to spray and stop.

Mo Qiyu raised his forehead, and said dog-leggedly: "This is for someone as experienced and smart as A Niang to grasp it." Spreading his hands: "I am just a scholar, I only have theory but no practical experience."

"It's about theory and practice, I don't understand." Youjing Mimi asked suspiciously: "Can this really work?"

"It says so in the book, I think it will work."

"Which book? I want to read it too." Cui Shi also knew characters, as long as there were no remote characters in the books, she could recognize them.

However, Mo Qiyu suddenly realized: "I just remembered, I have to start teaching Xiao Xu the thousand-character prose today."

Cui was puzzled, and asked Mo Qiyu who was striding away: "Don't you say today is just practicing calligraphy?"

Mo Qiyu kept walking and pretended not to hear, Cui Shi didn't care, just smiled and played with the watering can in his hand.

"Watering Can," Cui said to herself, "I'll call you the Watering Can from now on."

At this moment, Cui Shi seemed to be that seventeen or eighteen-year-old carefree little girl.Although Mo Qi is gone, Cui who is spoiled by him is still a little girl at heart.

As soon as Mo Qiyu entered the village the next day, Lin Xu dragged him to his home. The other villagers he met on the road just made fun of their good relationship, so Lin Xu let go of Mo Qiyu's hand behind him, his expression on his face. It is full of red clouds.

Looking at the shy Lin Xu, Mo Qiyu looked like a cat who stole the fish, and he was very unhappy when he smiled.

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Fearing that something might happen to Lin Xu, Mo Qiyu asked with a restrained smile.

Hearing Mo Qiyu's question, Lin Xu said excitedly, "The ashes from yesterday were really useful, and so was the sprayed water. Anyway, they are all very useful."

Mo Qiyu was a little puzzled, even if it was useful, it would take two or three days to see it, right?How can you tell this one night plus half a day?

Seeing Mo Qiyu thinking, Lin Xu snorted and said with some pride: "I look at this and that rose every day, and I know exactly which leaf was bitten in the morning. But this morning When I looked at it, there were no new bite marks, which must have been caused by the plant ash last night. I also looked at it at noon, and there were no new bite marks, so it must be the cause of the plant ash water."

Mo Qiyu: That makes sense.

Seeing that Mo Qiyu didn't really believe it, Lin Xu chopped off his feet anxiously, and said, "I also kept an eye out, I didn't sprinkle plant ash or water on the corner of the wall last night, because their leaves were bitten before. They are all about the same, but today you can clearly see the difference."

"Oh~" Mo Qiyu suddenly realized, but he didn't believe it in his heart, so he just catered to him and said, "Let's go then, let's go and see?"

Not two steps away, the two arrived home.Cui Shi and Lin Ming stared intently at the place where roses were planted.

"Aniang, Lin Ming, did you see something?" Seeing them staring at him, Mo Qiyu asked casually as he walked towards the rose.

"Ah Yu, it's really useful." Cui came over excitedly, and said excitedly, "This year's crops are saved. This time, one mu of land won't produce as much anymore."

After watching it for a while, Mo Qiyu asked uncertainly, "Is it really useful?"

The three of them nodded at Mo Qiyu in unison.

"Emmm, but it's only one night, the effect is so obvious?"

The three of them nodded at Mo Qiyu in unison.

Cui couldn't hold back and said, "There are indeed no new bite marks." Although she hated her son for planting this flower, she still put [-]% of her heart into it like Lin Xu.

"That's fine, just try it like this for two days and see the effect." Mo Qiyu pointed to the piece near the wall and said, "I won't do it there, let's compare and compare the two pieces."

"Yes, but," Cui said with some hesitation, "every family in the village has pests on their crops. If our family doesn't tell us about this, we might be outraged."

"Of course I have to say it. And this method can't be suppressed."

No matter it is Cui, Mo Qiyu or Lin Xu, they feel that this method that is beneficial to the crops cannot be hidden.We are all poor people, there is a way to make everyone's lives better without harming our own interests, there is really no need to keep silent.

And if this is really useful, then tell everyone that all the villagers owe their Mo family a favor.

"Are you going to talk to the village chief now?" Cui Shi asked Mo Qiyu.If you have something to ask the village chief, I believe that if you tell the village chief about it, he will arrange it well, so I don't need them to worry about it anymore.

Mo Qiyu thought for a while and said, "It's really just one night. You can tell that I believe it. But the result is still too inconspicuous. Why don't we wait another two days?"
