In the past few days, carpenters were found to repair the family's old house, and carpenters were also found to start construction on the new house.

While we were still working on the foundation and the frame of the house hadn't even started to be built, several people started to say they wouldn't do it now because they had things to deal with at home.

When I asked, I found out that there were more and more locusts now, and I had to store food at home, otherwise the locusts would eat it.

Su Xiaoxia didn't know that there would be a locust plague in the middle, after all, this was not in the original plot.

"Xiaoxia, sister-in-law! It's not good... something big is going to happen!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Su Xiaoxia raised her head in confusion and found that it was Aunt Xu.

Shen Lan, who was busy in the kitchen at this time, ran out when she heard this and asked hurriedly: "What's the matter? Big sister? What happened?"

"The locusts are coming! When I was working in the fields just now, I found that many of the crops that everyone planted in the fields were eaten by locusts, and some even lost their roots! Not only that, even the weeds on the roadside at the entrance of our village They've all been eaten! You rented a field today and planted a lot of seedlings, so I hurriedly ran over to tell you, for fear that you would always leave it at home and not know about it!" Aunt Xu explained anxiously. road.

When Shen Lan heard this, her face changed slightly. She turned to look at Su Xiaoxia and said, "Xiaoxia, this locust plague is coming. What should we do in the future? These locusts are very hungry, but they can even eat people!"

Shen Lan's words made Aunt Xu, who came to report the news, also panic. Her daughter-in-law had not yet given birth. If she gave birth during the locust plague, the child would be small. If the locusts targeted her...

Thinking of this, Aunt Xu unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes for the first time, feeling panicked.

She just hopes that her family is safe now. She still has food stored in the barn at home, so she should be able to survive this locust plague. She just hopes that her child can be born smoothly!

Su Xiaoxia walked over, held Shen Lan's slightly trembling hand, and looked calm and natural: "You are worried, the locusts have just arrived, and the locust plague has not completely occurred. We don't know how serious the disaster will be yet, but we can prepare in advance and see. Can we prevent the locust plague before it breaks out? If we handle it properly, this locust plague will be fine."

For crops and crops, locusts are serious crop pests. As long as they appear, they will definitely cause panic. After all, as farmers, we all rely on food to live and do business. Food is very important!

But the more we get to this time, the less we should panic. The locusts have just started to appear. As long as everyone panics, there will be chaos. Once there is chaos, we will be in trouble.

Only by working together and pooling our wisdom can we stop the locusts.

Su Xiaoxia is very calm now. She knows that she has written a lot in the book about how to deal with the locust plague. As a modern person, she should not panic when encountering this situation!

If you can't kill the locusts, just catch them and fry them. Then it will be another delicacy, and it is also high in protein!

Shen Lan patted Su Xiaoxia's little hand, and while comforting herself, she also comforted Aunt Xu, saying: "Xiaoxia is right, we haven't reached the end of the road yet, try to take precautions first."

"But..." Aunt Xu bit her lower lip, still looking worried.

After all, the family relies on this little farmland to support a large family. If something really happens, then their family, as well as her unborn grandson, won't they all have to drink from the northwest wind in the coming year?

Aunt Xu asked nervously: "What can Xiaoxia do? I remember Xiaoxia has a lot of ideas..."

Hearing this, Shen Lan also looked at Su Xiaoxia, her hands subconsciously becoming stronger.

She can hit people and so on, and she can do farming and other things quite well, but she has experienced this locust before, but it has not reached the stage of a major disaster...

Feeling that Shen Lan was also nervous and anxious, Su Xiaoxia patted Shen Lan's arm gently and comforted: "Okay, mother, don't worry so much. It's useless for you to worry now. Let's go to the fields to see what's going on." I will think of ways to prevent the situation. If I can, I will prevent it. If I can’t prevent it, then I will wait until the locust plague comes and take advantage of it!"

Even though she said that, Shen Lan remained silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

Seeing Shen Lan like this, Su Xiaoxia just closed her eyes gently and sighed, "Aunt Xu, you should go home first. I'll take a look later and think of a way. When I think of a way, I will go to the ancestral hall with the villagers." Discuss over there. Maybe the village chief has thought of a solution now."

Hearing this, Aunt Xu nodded, "It seems like this is the only way."

Seeing that Aunt Xu was about to leave, Su Xiaoxia hurriedly said: "By the way, Aunt Xu, just to be on the safe side, don't worry about the food in the fields, that is, the food in your home. As long as it is something that locusts can eat, put it away first. Don't save it at this time. I have money for the barn, so if I can buy one, buy it as soon as possible, and then put the flour, beans, millet, etc. in the barn."

"Sure! I'll listen to you." Aunt Xu nodded, turned around and left quickly, planning to talk to her family about this matter.

My family still had money for a barn, but I had been reluctant to use it to buy a barn in the past because I thought I wouldn't use it and buying it would only take up space.

Now it seems that it is impossible not to buy it.

Everyone's homes in the village have wooden, mud-brick, and straw roofs, and there are gaps everywhere. If locusts get in in large groups, they won't be able to stop them at all.

At this time, it is better to build a barn, which is airtight and does not worry about locusts getting in.

Su Xiaoxia stared at the clouds in the sky and squinted her eyes, "Mom, you go do your work first. I'll go to the fields to take a look. You're at home to check the food we've stored before."

"Sure!" Shen Lan nodded, let go of Su Xiaoxia's hand, and turned around to go back to the house.

It happened that Xu Yiyun and the children asked what happened, and Shen Lan told them by the way.

After Xu Yiyun learned about it, although his injuries had not fully recovered, he could still get out of bed and move around. After learning about the locusts, he learned that Su Xiaoxia was going to the fields to visit. He found Su Xiaoxia and wanted to go to the fields with Su Xiaoxia.

Su Xiaoxia did not refuse. One more person and one less person made no difference.

No locusts have been found in the village yet, but outside the village, locusts have appeared more or less. I just don’t know where the locusts came from and which village they have harmed before...

When the locust plague comes, if it is not handled properly, many people will starve to death.

The bad thing now is that the locusts are coming, but the good thing is that everyone doesn't know whether they were stimulated by what she did before, so they harvested ten days and a half month ahead of schedule.

So what is in the fields now are either seedlings or the seedlings have not been planted yet, and there are only corns and beans that have not been harvested.

It's unfortunate, but also a bit lucky.

Not to mention that Su Xiaoxia was watching the traces of locusts appearing all the way, Xu Yiyun also frowned tightly and looked very ugly.

"Su Xiaoxia, what do you think about this matter?"

Although their family has Su Xiaoxia's help, this year's harvest is good and they won't starve to death, but what will they do next year?
