Chapter 38: Domineering Auntie

It's really strange for people, especially children, to change every day, sometimes several times a day...... Zhu Gaoxu is like this, when he first came, it was called an awkwardness.

The low and cramped grass houses, the barren grasses everywhere, the mountains and rocks, the strange trees, the coarse diet, and the people are vulgar, in short, nothing makes him comfortable.

But I can live for a few days, especially when I go up the mountain every day to catch all kinds of insects, as if opening a new door, and in the eyes of the bear child, the world suddenly brightens up.

Get up early to wash, follow the eldest brother to dance radio exercises, when the body is slightly sweaty, go to pick some fresh grass blades, to feed the grasshoppers and gnats in the house, and then take out a small notebook to record the situation of these insects neatly.

He had already understood that releasing two gnats would not solve the locust infestation, and he needed to know more about insects!

Among the many grass insects, Zhu Gaoxu likes the praying mantis who is fierce and good at fighting and wielding two big knives, but Zhu Gaoxu found a problem, some praying mantis are thin and small, and some have big bellies, the difference is very big, Liu Chun said that it is because the male and female are different.

Zhu Gaoxu thinks that those pot-bellied ones are male mantises, otherwise they would have grown so strong!

But Liu Chun told him that the thin one was the male mantis.

Zhu Gaoxu said he didn't believe it, you didn't see it, men are taller than women, how can praying mantis be reversed?

Liu Chun didn't say anything, just asked him to catch a few pairs of praying mantis and keep them in a box, and gradually, he would be able to know who the male mantis was.

But today, it was unfortunate that the skinny mantis was being grabbed by a super strong praying mantis, and it was eating so much that its head was gone!

Yes!

It's scary!

Zhu Gaoxu hurriedly ran out, called Liu Chun, pointed to the two praying mantises, and asked him to look.

"This is the habit of the praying mantis, the female mantis will eat the male mantis as food, so that it is converted into nutrients, which can make it more convenient for the female mantis to have offspring...... If nothing else, after a few days, the female mantis will be able to give birth to eggs, and the second son will just observe. ”

"Oh my God!"

Zhu Gaoxu's little face has become very bad, very bad!

The female mantis will eat the male mantis!

Wife eats husband?

Is there anything more ruthless?

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt that there was a wrong word, describing fierce women and calling them tigresses, but in fact, tigresses are far less cruel than female mantises!

No, the "female mantis" he is most afraid of is here!

Xu Miaoyun took her sister and drove to Baiyangkou, originally thinking that it was a mountain village and town, but when she really walked in, she found that the roads were wide and flat, all of them were newly built, and the carriages on the road were constantly coming and going, which was very busy.

Several tall windmills, showing an unusual taste.

Xu Miaojin's eyes widened, looking around, clean and tidy, full of vitality, green mountains in the distance, green water under his feet, and really a little bit of paradise. It's just that she has a natural rejection of unfamiliar places, and her little face is very tight!

Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaochu were arranged at the foot of the mountain, not far from the original three houses of the Liu family, which was a newly built wooden house, which was very exquisite.

In front of the wooden house, there is a river that meanders through it. On the edge of the river, a man with a hat is sitting on a pebble fishing.

Xu Miaoyun nodded and asked the guards to inquire where his son was, and as soon as the guards passed, they found the fisherman, threw the hat aside, and jumped and ran over.

The round Zhu Gaochi threw himself into his mother's arms, and Xu Miaoyun asked with a smile, "How did you learn to fish?" ”

Zhu Gaochi said: "Mother, the second brother is learning to raise insects, I will learn to fish, and I can raise a lot of fish in the future, so that everyone can eat fat carp!" ”

Xu Miaoyun patted his son's head, the little guy's ambition is really not small!

At this time, Xu Miaojin came over, and when she arrived at a brand new place, she was always a little vigilant, and after looking around, she saw her nephew again, and finally relaxed.

She stretched out her hand, pinched Zhu Gaochi's face, and pulled hard, causing Zhu Gaochi to grin in pain, but she didn't dare to dodge.

"Skinny, really thin!" Xu Miaojin said with concern: "Is it not good to eat or drink here, is it okay to go back to the palace with my aunt?" ”

Zhu Gaochi shook his head, "I'm very good, not only I'm very good, but the second brother is also very good, he will count!" ”

"Arithmetic?" Xu Miaoyun smiled: "Hasn't that kid always disliked it? ”

Zhu Gaochi learned from Liu Chun and shrugged his shoulders, "There's no way, he can't do arithmetic, how can he take care of those grass insects!" ”

Xu Miaoyun heard her son mention insects again and again, and she couldn't help but be curious.

"What is Liu Xiaolang teaching you? Why are you still playing with bugs? ”

"It's not playing, it's researching!" Zhu Gaochi corrected his mother, he stretched out his hand to pull Xu Miaoyun and walked into the room, it happened that at this time Zhu Gaochu had seen the insects and came out with Liu Chun to prepare for breakfast.

Seeing that the princess was coming, Liu Chun hurriedly gave a salute.

"You don't need to prepare anything, just give us two more portions of what you usually eat."

Liu Chun nodded, he noticed that the little girl behind Xu looked less than ten years old, petite and exquisite, with delicate facial features, long eyelashes, flickering, two eyes, black and shiny, very cute.

Liu Chun found that her appearance was somewhat similar to Xu's, and he had a guess in his heart, but there was no nonsense.

It's still big steamed buns, gruel, pickles, and tofu soup...... The two little guys are used to it, especially Zhu Gaoxu, he has long found out, don't look at the Liu family's dishes and look ordinary, they can be eaten absolutely first-class!

For example, steamed buns, will use milk and noodles, and add a little honey, sweet and milky, better than the palace's. In the gruel, chopped chicken breast is also added, and sesame oil is also added. As for the tofu, it's just too much, it's actually boiled in broth, and it's delicious!

If I knew this, I shouldn't have slammed the door and left that night, let alone left that sentence, which became a handle for the eldest brother to laugh at himself!

Zhu Gaoxu poured all his anger on the food, and he ate no less than Xiao Chubhubun.

Seeing that the two sons could eat more than in the palace, the Xu family was not so angry, and it seemed that Liu Xiaolang was attentive.

"What are the two of them learning?"

Without waiting for Liu Chun to speak, Zhu Gaoxu wiped his mouth and said loudly: "Mother, I studied biology." ”

"Biology? Is it just catching gnats and fighting crickets? Xu said dumbly.

"It's not a mile!" Zhu Gaoxu said proudly: "That's something that children like, I have learned even more, and if I learn well, I can feed thousands of people!" Right? ”

I really didn't see it, Zhu Lao Er still likes to put gold on his face, didn't you just shout to catch the gnats a few days ago? How can you forget it in the blink of an eye?

Liu Chun didn't bother to expose him, but said to Xu: "Princess, the insects, birds, frogs, snakes, eagles, etc. that can survive in a place are all limited, and they restrain each other, and we Guo call this ecological balance." Sometimes, for example, when the drought worsens and the locusts multiply excessively, the balance will be upset, and once there is not enough food to eat, the locusts take off, and a locust plague is formed. ”

"My two sons and I, catch some insects, just to observe the habits, record the approximate number, if one day, the number of locusts suddenly increases, it means that the locust plague is coming, we need to take measures to prevent it in advance!"

At this time, Zhu Gaochi also said: "Mother, the imperial grandfather is worried about the locust plague, every time he encounters it, he is so worried that he can't sleep, if he can tell the imperial grandfather in advance, he can sleep peacefully." ”

"Oops!"

Xu was dumbfounded when he heard this, who would dare to say that his son was a plaything, if he could figure out the cause of the locust plague, it would be enough to cause a sensation in the world and shake the government and the opposition!

As soon as Liu Xiaolang came up, he gave such a profound knowledge, and Xu didn't know how to thank him!

It's just that Xu Miaojin on the side frowned, and snorted: "The locust plague is a change in the sky, how can manpower resist it!" Only the vast Dharma can dissolve the anger and make the locusts disappear. It's a pity that there are fewer and fewer people in the world who worship the Buddha, which makes disasters frequent. She suddenly said fiercely to the little fat dun: "Auntie doesn't allow you to learn some messy things from this person, you go back to the palace for me to study!" ”

The corners of the little chubby dun's mouth twitched, and he shook his head silently, his nephew couldn't do it!
