Chapter 416 Thief 416

Chapter 416 416. Thief

There are plans for next year, but this year, at this moment, Old Man Li is in the vast rice fields with the same blank eyes.

Just...what's going on? Are all the rice harvesters so clean now?

He didn't even pick out a complete ear of rice in the entire rice field!

Not all was found, there was an ear of rice buried under the straw, and there were three rice grains on top - it was so shabby!

He has been farming for so many years, but he has never heard of a year when the rice fields were so clean!

Old man Li was unwilling to give in, so he simply called the old scalper over, and while rummaging through the rice fields, he collected all the scattered rice and looked at it again... Finally, he simply let the old scalper take him, and walked slowly towards Song Tan's house. go.

The Song Tan family was preparing to take the rice back to the warehouse. When they saw Old Man Li coming with a big scalper, they couldn't help but be a little surprised:

"Grandpa Li, why are you here when you are free?"

"And this straw, why is it so hard for us Dahuang? Let's go back and ride the tricycle to pull it."

"Why is this hard work?" Old Man Li didn't care: the straw was piled aside for threshing. It was not difficult, but it was hot and it was inevitable that he would sweat all over.

Besides, he didn’t come here just to deliver straw:

"Tan Tan, give me two bundles of straw. I'll go back and soak it in salt water for this old guy to eat."

"Okay!" It was just straw, and Song Tan was extra generous: "You can eat as much as you want."

Old Man Li laughed: "That's no good. It's not nutritious. It just looks like it likes it. Let's use it as a snack to appetize."

Then he turned to the topic:

"Tantan, don't you want to plant another crop of rice? Is there any breeding done here?"

"We're working on it!"

It snows here in winter, so the time to plant two crops of rice is tight, so we have to make good time.

Old Man Li thought for a while: "How about I come and burn the rice stubble in the field?"

When the rice is cut, some distance is left to take root in the soil. The locals call it rice stubble.

It looks inconspicuous, but experienced farmers who have been farming for many years have experience. As long as the roots of the straw are pushed aside, they will definitely be densely packed with insect eggs.

He has never seen these Song Tan, but he is probably close to them.

Song Tan was stunned: "Are you so anxious? You don't want any of the rice ears in the field?"

She remembered that Old Man Li was looking forward to it very much at the beginning!

"What rice ears!"

Old Man Li was furious: "After turning it over and over, I found only three grains of millet. The harvesting of rice in our village has never been so clean before!"

Song Tan:......

Looking up again, Old Man Li also saw the place where the rice was drying in Song Tan's yard. There was a strangely large fishing net set up on it, surrounding it from all directions——

"What..." He was also a little surprised: "You still have such a solid fence in your yard, are you afraid that others will steal it?"

he joked.

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw the densely surrounded group of birds jumping and chirping anxiously...

Good guy!

Only then did Old Li react: "I just said why the fields are so clean. The birds must have eaten them last night and tasted them! If I had known, I would have picked them up yesterday."

Song Tan was helpless - who would have thought of this?

It's just a few scattered ears of rice. If you can't pick it up, you can't pick it up. Anyway, their family promised that Old Man Li would have plenty of things.

But the matter of burning straw in the fields...

"Don't worry about it, Grandpa Li. The village doesn't call it air pollution now. It says it has satellite monitoring. I'll have to ask later."

"What air pollution?"

Old Man Li didn't take it seriously: "It's nonsense! If the straw doesn't burn, how many insect eggs are there, how can we plant rice again in the second half of the year? Next year, your fields will have to be sprayed with pesticides!"

Old Man Li said this directly, but there was really nothing wrong with it.

There are many insect eggs accumulated at the roots of the straw. If it is not burned, the number of insect pests will suddenly increase next year or in the next crop of plants after plowing and digging.

Next, some areas promote crushing straw to add nutrients to the fields, but crushing also requires costs. Secondly, incomplete crushing can easily affect the soil quality and further increase the cost.

Nowadays, you can only earn a few hundred yuan by growing an acre of food?

Because of this, I don’t know how much income will be lost. This is also part of the reason why more and more people are abandoning their jobs...

In short, these are all things that Party Secretary Xiaozhu talked about.

What Old Man Li was talking about was indeed the current situation. However, Party Secretary Xiao Zhu was an extremely qualified village cadre and had warned him long ago:

"You have to report it. This year there is a new policy that says that after reporting, straw in the field can be burned."

"This is right!"

Old Man Li, who was mumbling just now, quickly changed his face: "I just said that the government cannot cheat people - we don't burn all the straw, just the short stubble in the ground. What is air pollution?"

"The weather is fine these two days. If you can trust me, I will take the opportunity to burn it."

How can you believe this?

Song Tan couldn't laugh or cry:

"Okay, I'll tell Party Secretary Xiao Zhu, and we can make our own arrangements here."

After burning, you have to wait a few days, then plow, till carefully...irrigate...

After everything is done, her new seedlings will almost be ready, and it will be the second crop of rice.

However, having said that, Old Man Li is old after all, and Old Scalper is not young either, so everyone simply took back the straw together, piled it into a haystack, and then went to help in the rice field.

As for the rice, it's evening now and it's almost dry. Let's shell it tomorrow.

…

However, when Ulan opened the warehouse door the next day, he was surprised to find that there was a hole in the sack!

Rice is scattered everywhere.

Although the total seems to be not much less, this behavior is particularly abominable!

When I looked carefully, I saw that the screen window had a hole at some point——

"There are rats in our house?!"

She shouted angrily.

"How can it be?"

Song Tan absolutely disagrees.

She checked to see if there were any mice around here on the first day she moved--the house was just built, and the mice hadn't had time to come over yet. How could it be so fast?

However, this little thief was not cautious in doing things. Even if she didn't use any means, she could follow her all the way to the back mountain by following her spiritual energy.

With such a small hole in the screen window, it is definitely not a home-raised chicken, and it is definitely not a bird...birds will not leave so many marks on the ground along the way.

That's only...

Song Tan raised his head and looked at the little things poking their heads in the woods behind the mountain.

"OK!"

Song Sancheng, who followed, was also very angry: "What are you talking about as a thief? It turns out to be these squirrels!"

"I just saw that they were useless, they didn't like us, they didn't like food, and now they are wasting our food!"

"Your mother and I weighed it just now when we took it to shell it, and we found it was missing a pound or two!"

Good guy!

Song Tan also looked up at the treetops: This thing has a big appetite!

If I don't teach you a lesson, will I become a habitual offender in the future? !

Goodnight my Phalaenopsis Chanel.
