Chapter 1133: Chapter 1135 Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Nan Feng was also looking at the several green caterpillars on the tree before frowning, "No good, the insects have been increasing lately, we have to think of something. We can’t let them spread any further, otherwise this year’s lychee harvest will be affected."

Ye Ge caught one of the caterpillars and examined it closely, "Didn’t we spray some pesticides earlier? Why are there still so many?"

"The pesticide we sprayed earlier was to eliminate the bigger bugs, but these ones seem to be immune to it. We’ll have to find another way to deal with them. I’ve never seen this type of insect before, and I don’t know what they’re afraid of. I’m worried that if we spray too much pesticide, it’ll harm the fruit trees. Besides, pesticides can linger for a long time; the lychees are about to ripen, and if the pesticide doesn’t wash off, the lychees will be poisonous if eaten."

Ye Ge then suggested, "How about I ask the elders in the village about how to deal with these bugs?"

"Sure," Nan Feng picked up the medicine bucket from the ground and continued to inspect the other fruit trees.

Although she had spent time in the rear Siyuan before, she was still at a loss when faced with such troublesome insects.

...

It wasn’t until that evening that Ye Ge returned. As usual, Nan Feng went over to help him with his tools and asked, "How did it go? Did you find a solution?"

"Hmm..." Ye Ge looked very serious.

Xia Dabao had just returned from cutting grass not so long ago and had heard about the problem in the Lychee Forest from Nan Feng. Now, seeing Ye Ge’s serious face, Xia Dabao couldn’t help but hurry over to him.

She cared the most for Nan Feng. If Nan Feng was anxious, how could she as a daughter not be anxious too?

Axian had also come over. Although he wasn’t quite clear about the situation, he was a curious boy – he had to ask and understand everything. Naturally, he had also followed behind.

So, the whole family looked at the now serious and earnest Ye Ge, all feeling very anxious on the inside.

The Lychee Forest was a main source of income for their family. If the lychees didn’t sell well, they’d be strapped for cash for the rest of the year.

To everyone’s surprise, Ye Ge suddenly changed his expression and broke into a smile, revealing a rather handsome set of teeth: "Elder Wang says those insects can be eliminated. It’s also a very simple method. Just go up the mountain, gather some Burns Insect Grass, and burn it under the lychee trees. The smoke will suffocate the insects to death."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, while Nan Feng playfully scolded Ye Ge, clearly still a bit upset, "You’re good at tricks, aren’t you? Just you wait until I teach you a lesson."

Ye Ge whispered close to Nan Feng, "As your husband, I’m willing to accept the punishment. But, my lady, could you perhaps wait until nighttime to reprimand me? The children are watching."

Xia Dabao thought the matter would end there. Dad had admitted his fault after all, and it had been a joke to begin with. Mom shouldn’t hold a grudge, or so she thought. But Mom seemed even angrier, "It’s always your fault, I’m ignoring you!"

Axian hurried up to Nan Feng from behind, "Mom, are you going to spank Dad’s butt tonight?"

"..." Nan Feng wondered, how did Axian know about that?

But then Axian immediately followed up with another question, "Mom, what do the insects in the Lychee Forest look like? Can you take me to see? And what does Burns Insect Grass look like? Can you take me up the mountain to see? Mom..."

The mother and son entered the house, while Xia Dabao turned to look at her dad.

She saw her dad still smiling, not showing any signs of regret. Xia Dabao couldn’t help but feel a bit disheartened.

But Xia Dabao loved to see her dad smile. He was the most handsome man she had ever seen, not at all like a man in his thirties. He kept in good shape, especially that face – so handsome. Every time he appeared in the village, the women would sneak peeks at him. He was truly the heartthrob of the village women.
