Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket. The palm-sized piece of paper was densely written with pen.

Maybe the pen is leaking, and many places are soaked and you can't see clearly what you wrote.

"What is this? I can't recognize it if it's copied like this."

Han Zhaozhao stretched his head and took a look: Sparrow, sparrow, you are so angry that you don’t care when the sky falls.

Sparrows are so arrogant that they eat rice like the wind. ...

That’s right, it’s Guo’s “Curse of the Sparrow”!

"Sparrow Sparrow x Senior official, you don't care when the sky falls.

Sparrows are big and eat rice like the wind.

What great writer? What did he write? Why are all the works written in big characters? "Xiao Sanzi read aloud, and the more he read, the more he felt something was wrong.

"You can't see clearly, don't you ask? Who did you learn this from and just make up your mind?" Niu Xiaoyun was amused.

"Who else can I learn from? Besides Han Zhaozhao, no one else is that thick-skinned!"

"Hahaha! What's so shameless about that? Zhao Zhao is just brave!"

"You might as well say she's foolish and bold! Only she can do something like reading half of it without being sure. Her courage is commendable. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"Don't you think it's too much, saying bad things about me without even saying anything, and laughing at me in front of me?

Laugh, laugh! Are you not afraid of laughing out loud? What's wrong? Is it wrong for me to read aloud? Only when you know you are wrong can you correct it and remember it more firmly.

Anyway, I learn faster than you all, and now I can read and write, there's nothing to be ashamed of!"

After hearing this, everyone thought about it carefully: That's right! In terms of learning speed, none of them could catch up with Han Zhaozhao. He studied at home and learned all the characters that he should have learned in the six years of primary school.

Moreover, he also found a master and started to learn Chinese medicine. He is much better than those people who just turn the buttons and do nothing and only learn passively.

After enough of the fuss, Xiao Sanzi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, no more fuss, let's talk about business.

Now that the higher-ups have started asking us to catch sparrows, we have to change our plans.

How about this, we use the old method. Brother Min and I will take Xiaolian and Xiaoyun to follow the main group for a day to learn from them and see how others catch sparrows. We will just follow the crowd.

Zhaozhao, if you stay at home, you'd better think of a way to make a few more bird-catching tools.

For example, a big basket or something, so we can use it to catch the birds."

Niu Shanyun: "We have a big basket at home. The key now is not the basket, but the food used to lure the birds.

We all have to chip in! We can’t let Zhaozhao pay for everything, or her family will suffer.”

"Yes, let's go home and get some food, and we can all pool our resources. This is not just a matter for one family, everyone has a share.

Besides, we occasionally eat at Zhao Zhao's house, so we need to have more food."

Han Zhaozhao: That’s not a big deal. I have plenty of food. I don’t need the little you scrape out of your teeth!

"No, no, we are a partnership, you didn't mind that my family has few people, and you took care of me everywhere.

Our family cannot be ignorant and not haggle with you over the extra food.

Forget it, we can all help each other, some can contribute their manpower, some can contribute their strength, our family is small, the expenses are low, and we also have subsidies from the government, so let's just leave it at that!"

Xiao Sanzi nodded: "Yes, let's do this. Zhao Zhao's family doesn't lack this little food. She is a girl, so we just need to protect her more in the future."

Then everyone took out the income from selling scorpions and agreed not to divide it up for now, but to keep it in the Han family and record it in the accounts.

They planned to share the money together when they had saved enough, to prevent their parents from finding out and taking it away. This was the first time they had earned any pocket money since they were born.

More than 22 yuan, divided equally among five people, each person can get more than 4 yuan! This is the income for one night! !

"Oh my god! We're going to get rich! Hahaha! No, we have to go out early at night. We can't wait until dark, that's too late! We have to catch fish all night and then go into the city at dawn!"

Xiao Sanzi and Xiao Yun have the same idea, to make money, they are willing to stay up all night!

Xiaolian was also eager to try, "Xiaoyun and I will go together, it's hard to catch mice in the city now.

When I went to hand in a quest today, I saw a lot of people had learned from us how to build a mousetrap box.

Some people even invented mousetraps, learned to sew up the buttholes of mice, and used all sorts of dirty tricks that no one would have thought of before.

No, let’s leave Xiaoyun alone to set up the mousetrap box…”

Han Zhaozhao: This group of people are blinded by money, and I am the only one who has some self-control. It seems that without me, this group would have disbanded long ago!

"No! This idea is completely wrong! It takes two of you to catch the scorpion.

Don’t you think about the fact that the mousetrap box was quickly imitated by others?

If other people find out that we can make a fortune by catching scorpions, can a few kids like us compete with the adults?

Don't even think about earning a penny in the future! Leave two people to run away, and eliminate the four pests as a supplement. The main purpose is to provide us with cover.

How about this, the three of us will go tonight, and starting tomorrow, the three of us girls will take turns taking turns.

I just wonder if you two are afraid to go out at night?"

Niu Xiaoyun shook her head like a rattle: "No, I'm scared! My mom said that I have a weak constitution and it's easy to attract dirty things when I walk at night!"

Finally, everyone unanimously decided that Xiaolian and Han Zhaozhao would take turns to help with the purple light, while Niu Xiaomin and Xiao Sanzi would still be responsible for catching scorpions.

As long as the weather is good and it doesn't rain, try to catch scorpions every night before they go into hibernation.

"If I can't say four dollars a day, I can make two dollars a day. I can catch scorpions for at least four months, and I can definitely earn more than two hundred dollars a season.

I decided that when I make money, I will buy myself a bicycle. Hehe, my classmate even said that his family has a bicycle, tsk! I will earn money and buy it myself! "

"Don't be so arrogant. Haven't you heard what the adults said? If you are too arrogant, you will be struck by lightning and your meat will be buried at the bottom of the bowl when you eat it!!"

"Yes, yes, yes, no one can tell anyone about this! Keep a low profile! Don't show off your wealth! Don't show off your wealth! Remember, keep your mouth shut!"

For the first time in their lives, these children had a huge amount of money of their own. They were so excited that they almost lost their minds.

Everyone walked home with a bounce in their steps, and even the eldest child, Niu Xiaomin, had lost his usual steadiness.

Han Zhaozhao was alone at home. She found some yellow broom branches that had just been cut in the spring and began to weave a large basket.

Han Zhaozhao stopped weaving after finishing one basket. In fact, besides using the basket to catch sparrows, she had many other ways to catch sparrows. However, as a later generation, she knew that sparrows not only eat food, they also eat pests.

The common people of that time were uneducated. They only saw sparrows flying into farmland in summer and autumn to eat crops, and thought they were bad birds that were stealing the farmers' food.

Some experts even use statistics to support the claim that each sparrow can eat nine kilograms of food in a year. If you do the math carefully, you will find that sparrows can be found in both the north and south of the country. How much food do they eat in a year?

The food saved by killing one sparrow can feed an adult for seven or eight days. There are so many sparrows in China. If they were all killed, would people no longer have to go hungry and would everyone be able to have enough to eat?

Hey, bricklayers are the "experts" who deserve to be criticized! Ordinary people don't understand, don't you understand?

Sparrows only go to farmland during wheat harvest and autumn harvest to compete with humans for food.

The rest of the time, they work very hard to eliminate pests for humans!
