Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Not only do they eat pests in farmland, forests, grasslands, mountains, and even deserts under extreme climates, they also work hard to help humans eliminate various pests that even humans cannot control.

Humans can only take a few days off during the Chinese New Year, but these birds do not have a single day off from the beginning of the year to the end of the year. They work all year round and are always fighting on the front line of pest control.

Oh! Speaking of which, sparrows have made a lot of contributions to mankind!

In later generations, agricultural experts rehabilitated their reputation, calling sparrows “beneficial birds”!

A single sparrow can eat more than 15,000 insects a year, playing a major role in preying on pests, and their presence helps reduce crop losses.

In addition, sparrows are also involved in ecological processes such as plant pollination and seed dispersal, which further promotes agricultural development.

They spend most of their lives feeding on insects and grass seeds. Their presence not only prevents the spread of insect pests, but also controls the spread of weeds in farmland.

Haha, it’s fun to catch birds now, but when the ecology changes in the future, it will be too late for humans to regret!

The tiny sparrow plays a very important role in the ecological balance of nature!

Anyone who disrupts the ecological balance of nature will be severely punished by nature.

Although she didn't go out, she could still hear the hustle and bustle of the street outside! On the roofs of houses, on the big trees on the street, on the high gatehouses... there were people everywhere.

Some people held gongs and drums, some held copper basins and enamel basins, some held brooms, some held slingshots, and some held nets...

They are all busy catching sparrows!

People nowadays are too blind and love to follow the trend. As long as someone takes the lead, no matter whether it is right or not, as long as they put it in the name of political task, they will rush forward waving sticks without even distinguishing right from wrong.

This is too terrible. Han Zhaozhao was trembling inwardly. This is an age without reason!

She locked the door, broom in hand, slingshot in pocket, and went out for a walk, only to discover something even more shocking.

There are still people setting off firecrackers in the city, it's like New Year's Day, the sound of firecrackers is everywhere.

Mixed in were the sounds of drums, gongs, trumpets, suonas, and even the terrifying sound of gunfire.

Yes! It was the sound of gunfire! Han Zhaozhao heard everyone's excited discussion. In order to shoot sparrows, the army actually sent out sharpshooters to kill sparrows flying through the sky.

A bullet for a sparrow, those sparrows are so valuable!

People tried every possible way to make a loud noise on the ground to scare the sparrows and prevent them from landing.

It is said that if sparrows are kept flying in the sky like this, they will be exhausted to death.

Oh my god! Humans are so cruel that they can come up with such a mean trick.

Everyone says that this is a wonderful trick that the people of Sichuan have passed on to the people of the whole country.

In some areas of Sichuan, people have achieved the state where not a single sparrow can be seen flying in the sky and not a single sparrow can be heard chirping.

We have truly achieved the goal of eradicating sparrows!

She had to admit that the people of Sichuan were indeed fierce and should not be provoked. They really should not be provoked!

In Guangdong, not a single chicken can walk out alive, and in Sichuan, not even a sparrow can fly out. It's obvious who is stronger!

After walking around for a while, Han Zhaozhao mixed in with the group of children and ran around aimlessly for a long time without firing a single bullet or hitting a single sparrow.

Xue Ying laughed at her: "Han Zhaozhao, how come you didn't catch a single sparrow? You are so stupid!

Look at me, I caught eight!" She raised her hand. Oh well! It turned out to be a string of sparrows, all tied up with hemp ropes and strung together in a long string.

She had hung it around her neck before and she didn't even notice it.

"Can you blame me for this? The sparrow hadn't even landed on the ground yet, and before I could swat my broom, someone else pounced on it and snatched it away.

Don't think I don't know. With your short legs, you didn't catch those sparrows by yourself. It's because your brother and sister ran fast, so they caught them together.

I won’t compete with you. I’m not stupid. How can one person compete with you three brothers and sisters?

You didn't catch them relying on your real abilities, you just ran fast and picked up the ones that slipped by?

I am not as good as you at catching sparrows, but I can catch mice. Why don't you compete with me to see who can catch more mice?

Humph! I'm going home and waiting for the evening. I won't sleep tonight and will go catch mice!"

After saying that, he turned around angrily and was about to go home. He thought: I have an excuse to leave now, why bother playing mahjong? I really don't want to follow them to do evil.

Xue Shiqi heard the two girls fighting and ran back from the front of the team panting, "Han Zhaozhao, don't leave yet. Leave your slingshot to me. You can't use it anyway."

Han Zhaozhao: "What did you say? Why can't I use it? I spent money to buy a new rubber band and a slingshot specially made for shooting sparrows. Why should I give it to you?

No, no, Xue Ying just laughed at me for getting nothing. I want to separate from you and find a place to play mahjong by myself.

If I give you my slingshot, wouldn't I be aiding the enemy? Do you think I'm that stupid? If you want to use your own money to buy rubber bands, go make them yourself!"

What a sin! It is your business to kill, I don't want to be your accomplice!

Han Zhaozhao refused to lend the money and turned around and ran away.

But I didn't expect that on the way home, I picked up four sparrows that had fallen to the ground.

They are very small, lying on the ground with their feet facing upwards, and their two small green bean-like eyes are wide open, looking at the blue sky, as if they died with their eyes open!

Han Zhaozhao took a quick step and picked up another sparrow before an old man.

"Little girl, put it down, this is mine!" The old man was a step too late to grab it, so he shouted loudly.

"What do you mean it's yours? Old man, this sparrow clearly fell from the sky and I picked it up first, so how can it be yours?"

The old man was wearing a gray jacket with buttons, dark blue trousers, and a pair of gray satin cloth shoes. There was not a single patch on his body. He had a goatee and looked quite energetic.

"How could it not be mine? I have been following this sparrow for a whole street. I noticed long ago that it could not fly anymore. It was flying in the sky while I was chasing it on the ground, waiting for it to fall down because it could not fly anymore.

I'm so old and I almost fell down while chasing this bird. Do I have it easy?

You are a child and there is nothing wrong with your legs and feet. If you don’t have this one, you can find another one.

There are so many sparrows in the sky, and there are plenty of opportunities. How dare you compete with an old man like me? Can you have a little respect for the elderly?

It's not that I'm unreasonable, but today this bird must belong to me. I don't have the energy to chase a second bird today!"

Hey, this old man is quite interesting! He is quite talkative, like an older version of Xiao Sanzi!

"Old man, if you say so, then this bird really cannot belong to you.

I have been eyeing this sparrow since it came out of its eggshell. You know, this bird lives under the eaves of my house and has been eating my food since it started to eat.

I don't think it makes sense that you can take a look at it and it belongs to you. It's one and a half years old now, and there are at least eight hundred people who have seen it.

If everyone claims it as their own, then wouldn't people who want to claim it line up all the way to Tiananmen Square?"

The old man was amused by Han Zhaozhao's words. Hey, this little girl is quite interesting, she keeps talking and never gives in.

Say she was making excuses, she would even follow his lines to set a trap for him.

I really didn't expect that there is someone who can speak better than him. This girl is a typical thick-skinned and courageous person with a smooth tongue.

Interesting, really interesting, I am the same kind of person as him!
