On the way back, Xie Ling saw that the Dragon Boat Festival couldn't figure it out, so he took the initiative to explain: "Dragon Boat Festival, my mother knows that they are going too far, but my mother was unrelated at that time, it was Mrs. Xie who saved my mother, even if their purpose is not pure, we must not forget the grace of saving our lives." These five points are also to be repaid. Besides, if we make money in the future, why worry about these five points? ”

Xie Ling looked weak and indecisive, but on matters of principle, Xie Ling was quite assertive. The Dragon Boat Festival said: "It's a pity that the Dragon Boat Festival is also a pity, these five points are given to Mrs. Xie, and Mrs. Xie will only bet on her son, and it will be spent in vain." It's better for us to keep it, and wait for Mrs. Xie to be filial to her when she is old. Besides, they were willing to give us the riverside hut because it was so dilapidated and located by the river, and it was said that in the summer it would flood the low-lying area. Who will give us the good ones. It's just that you don't want to. ”

"Even if you don't want it, give it to us. Dragon Boat Festival, you should be polite to your wife's family in the future, and you will be an elder if you say anything. ”

Dragon Boat Festival had no choice but to nod.

"But mother, I still have four taels of silver, where can I earn it?" The Dragon Boat Festival couldn't think of a way to raise money for a while.

Xie Ling sighed and said, "This matter was mentioned to Erya before, and Erya went to the town. ”

"Sister, don't you want the eldest brother to come out?" The Dragon Boat Festival was stunned.

Xie Ling nodded: "Your eldest brother is also a member of the family, and he has been working in the town for more than half a year, so he can be regarded as having some savings." ”

"But mother, why are you so confident that this will happen to your eldest brother?"

Xie Ling smiled faintly, his eyes drifting into the distance: "Your eldest brother didn't understand your second sister before, but his heart is always towards our family." Erya talks to your eldest brother this time, and it is also an opportunity for their brother and sister to truly reconcile. The mother believes that this brother and sister will definitely find a way to raise four taels of silver. ”

Dragon Boat Festival suddenly felt that her mother-in-law was very powerful.

Weak body, but with a strong heart, he also knows his children very well, loves but not dotes, and educates children is also soft and strong.

When Erya came back from the town, he came and brought four taels of silver.

The family gathered around the fire and listened to Erya's story. It turned out that two taels of silver were all the eldest brother's savings, and the remaining two taels were borrowed from the shopkeeper.

"The eldest brother is very supportive of our own silkworm raising, and said that he has met a few people in the town, and when the time comes, he can give him the cocoons directly, and he will sell them." Erya said, "In the first half of the town, the eldest brother has become much more mature. ”

"Your brother didn't say when he would come back." Xie Ling was most concerned about this.

Erya was silent, Xie Ling looked sad, and the Dragon Boat Festival smiled and played a round: "Didn't my brother say that when the silkworm comes out of the cocoon, give it to him to sell?" We'll be able to meet him then. ”

Xie Ling felt more comfortable when he heard this.

In this way, two acres of mulberry fields in Dafenjiao Village became under Xie Ling's name. Take the dilapidated house by the river. Mrs. Xie had already sold two acres before, and now she only had the last two acres left. However, she got twenty taels of silver, paid off her son's gambling debts, went to the city and invited someone from her family who knew how to raise silkworms to clean up the silkworm disease, buy silkworm seeds again, and her life returned to normal.

The silkworm baby spit out the cocoons, and this is the last batch of cocoons to be sent to Mrs. Xie for nothing. Xie Ling carefully took out the cocoon, boiled it in boiling water, killed the silkworm chrysalis and then put it in a basket. Give it to Mrs. Xie for her to deal with.

There are always several silkworm babies in the same batch that will not form cocoons at the same time, so Xie Ling separates the small and bad silkworm cocoons and deep-fried them for the children to eat. This silkworm cocoon has plump nutrients, and it is also sweet and delicious when fried, and children should eat it.

At dinner, the Dragon Boat Festival ate a silkworm cocoon, and Xie Ling also smeared sesame oil on the cocoon, which was sweet and sour. The tip of the tongue of the silkworm chrysalis inside has a cool bitter feeling. Dragon Boat frowned. Xie Ling said: "The silkworm chrysalis is the most heat-relieving and fire-relieving, so you must eat it." ”

The first time I ate silkworm cocoons during the Dragon Boat Festival, although there was a bitter taste on the tip of the tongue, it was generally delicious.

"It's going to be summer soon. The two packets of silkworm seeds we bought from Mrs. Xie can start hatching. It is said that there are at least twenty healthy silkworm babies in hatching. Erya hugged Ah Yuan and said when he fed Ah Yuan rice noodles.

"I finally have my own silkworm baby." Dragon Boat Festival nodded.

"Don't be too happy, in order to buy land and silkworms, we took out all our savings, and your eldest brother still owes others two taels of silver. The rice stored in the kitchen was only enough for two days, and the meat was gone, only some wild vegetables and sweet potatoes, plus a bag of semolina. Xie Ling sighed, "My mother only has to take on more needlework tasks, but ten pairs of handkerchiefs are only twenty yuan." It is also said that it is settled every five days. ”

The family fell into sorrow again.

"Don't worry, everyone, when the silkworm baby spins silk, we will have money." Yichen patted his chest like a little adult and said, "I also want to do odd jobs and make money like a big brother." ”

"Yichen, you are still young. Didn't my mother buy you a pen and inkstone yesterday, you just have to practice calligraphy with peace of mind, and you don't have to think about your livelihood. Dragon Boat Festival said, "Mother, what else did you say in our kitchen?" ”

"Dragon Boat Festival, do you have any good ideas?" Xie Ling re-reported the food in the kitchen.

"Let's set up a barbecue stand!" The Dragon Boat Festival really had an idea and came up with a good idea.

The sweet potatoes and wild vegetables at home are cut into small slices, wrapped in flour outside, and fried and sold in a hot pan. In addition to the above ingredients, you also need a table, a pile of firewood, a pot, and of course, a person who can barbecue.

"It's a simple technology, it's cheap, but a lot of people eat it. Now that the weather is getting hotter and more and more people are eating barbecue, we might as well put the stall next to Ni Dalang's baked cake shop, their family is an old shop, and it is very popular, and we also have some popularity by the way. Besides, no one in the village does this, and there is no stall fee for setting up a stall, as long as it is delicious, it is no problem to earn 20 yuan a day. If the business is good, you can pay 100 yuan a day. ”

Seeing that the Dragon Boat Festival was so confident, Erya asked: "One hundred Wen a day, is this more profitable than a part-time job?" Is it really okay? ”

"If you don't believe it, I'll make a barbecue for everyone to try during the Dragon Boat Festival now."

In everyone's curious eyes, the Dragon Boat Festival came to the kitchen, took a sweet potato, peeled and washed it, cut it into slices, and skewered it with a thin wooden stick. Then, pour the oil into the pan and when the oil is hot, put the sweet potatoes in the pan and fry them for a while.

"Is that all right?" Meiya is a gluttonous and can't wait to ask.

Dragon Boat shook his head, "Don't worry. Mother, can you borrow some chili sauce for me? ”
