Chapter 52: Everyone Has a Mother
Meng Shan took a few younger sisters to go out to pick mulberry leaves every day, come back and wash and dry them carefully, and then feed them according to the hour.
Under their careful care, those silkworms have grown a lot in a few days.
When I went to see it in the afternoon of this day, the silkworms didn't move, Mengzhu went in to see it, was startled, and ran out in a hurry, "Sister, go and see, why don't the silkworms we raise move, are they dead?" ”
Mengshan was also anxious, and hurriedly went to the silkworm room, Siqi followed to see it, and smiled slightly, "Sister Mengzhu, don't worry, this is the sleeping period, if you don't eat or move, that's it, tomorrow will be fine." ”
"I was scared to death, I thought they were all dead, and I said that I was fine when I came to see it in the morning, these little things are really scary." Mengzhu wiped her sweat.
Siqi smiled and said, "Then let's not pick mulberry leaves today, otherwise it won't be fresh, let's go again tomorrow, this silkworm will grow bigger and bigger, and then eat more and more, we will have to work hard." ”
"What's the matter, kids growing up in the fields, these jobs will be done quickly." Meng Shan said with a smile.
After a few days of busy work, Lin Changfu and Lin Changgui made thirty dustpans for them, and when Lin Changyuan was free, he used the wood at home to make a few shelves for dustpans, and now the silkworm raising guys were complete.
After the dustpan was braided, Lin Changgui thought about helping Siqi weave a fish cage, he had done a lot of fish cages, but this was the first time he had seen this style, and he hadn't seen a real thing, so he had to rely on himself to think about everything, which was really troublesome.
There is no need to pick mulberry leaves today, and Siqi doesn't want to be idle, so he carries a small basket and pulls herbs with Mengshan and them.
Xuan and Liu didn't have much work to do, so they also took a backpack and went with them.
Siqi smiled and said, "Mother, do you want to keep the herbs for sale money?" ”
Xuanshi smiled and touched Siqi's head, "Mother will give it to you, save it well, and keep it for yourself after selling it for money, okay?" ”
"Okay, mother's best." Siqi took Xuan's hand.
Zilong Zijie followed behind, but I was envious, everyone had a mother.
When they arrived at the ridge, there were people everywhere pulling herbs, and there were many adults among them, and then the herbs became more and more difficult to find.
Siqi thought back to himself, if in his previous life, after the Dragon Boat Festival, the countryside would have to cultivate soil for corn and plant red roots.
But there were no two crops at this time, so the people were very idle at this time.
If the crops are too monotonous, it will lead to being too busy to be at home when you are busy, and you can't do anything when you are free.
With the help of the Xuan clan and the Liu clan, it is indeed faster, but now there are not many herbs left on the ridge, even if they wait for new ones to come out, they are not so fast.
Liu said, "I can't find anything on the ridge, so I have time to go to the side of the mountain to find it, there are many there, you guys should be careful when you go up the mountain." ”
Meng Shan smiled and nodded, "Mother, we will go when we are free, but now those silkworms have begun to eat mulberry leaves, and they don't eat much when they get to the end, I don't know if we can be busy, and we have to see if we have time to find herbs." ”
Xuan said, "If you are too busy, we will naturally help, that silkworm seed can grow a lot of silkworms in the end, you are too tired to toss." ”
Liu also said, "I am free in the left and right fields, and I will help you get it." ”
As soon as I said this, a few girls were relieved, and with the help of adults, they were not afraid of anything.
Xuan's and Siqi's together pulled most of the herbs in the basket and went back, dried them separately, and then Xuan's Liu went to the big weir pond in the village to wash clothes.
Si Qile ran to the vegetable field to take a look, these days she is busy raising silkworms, she didn't come to see the peppers she planted before, and she didn't know what was going on.
As a result, she was pleasantly surprised to find that they had all bloomed.
It was planted in March, and it has only grown for more than a month, which is really good.
According to the season of planting peppers in the previous life, it should be bred before the year, after a cold winter, the peppers will bear better, but this year is too late, the seeds bred in March, the growth is still good, it is estimated that it will not bear so much.
In this way, it is almost the same as in the previous life, and you can eat fresh chili peppers in June and July.
I've been here for so long, and I've only eaten some dried chilies, and I miss the taste so much that I'm hungry just by looking at these little white flowers.
The next day, Lin Changgui made up the fish cage that Si Qi wanted for her, and happily asked Si Qi to go over and look at it.
"I haven't done this before, I can only make it like this, you can see if it's like this."
Siqi thought about it in her mind, she hadn't seen the real thing, and now looking at this fish cage, she was very satisfied, it was much bigger than the ordinary fish cage, and all the details were the same as she said, Lin Changgui did it all for her.
This second uncle's craftsmanship is really amazing, Siqi hurriedly smiled and said, "That's it, the second uncle is too powerful." ”
Lin Changgui was praised by her, his heart was happy, but his face was a little embarrassed, "What is this, it's just a matter of pondering." ”
Of course, Siqi saw it, and said in her heart that she would have to find an opportunity to ask the second uncle to help her in the future.
The second uncle's legs and feet are not good, and he has always been disliked by Erniang, and he must be very aggrieved in his heart.
As a man, who doesn't want to be needed and adored?
She is a junior, and it is right to find a way to make her elders happy.
Waiting for Zijun Zikang to come back from school, Siqi hurried over, took Zijun's hand and shook it, "Big brother, I've been looking forward to you for a long time to get you back, put down your schoolbag and take me to catch fish, okay?" ”
Before Zijun could speak, Zikang smiled on the side and said, "Did you girl secretly follow us to school?" How do you know that we told Tiankuo on the way that we would go to the river to catch fish today? ”
Siqi smiled and stuck out his tongue, "Yes, yes, I've been following you, the eldest brother and the second brother didn't notice me, it's too stupid." ”
Taking advantage of Zijun Zikang's schoolbag to change clothes, Siqi hurriedly went to bring the fish cage that Lin Changgui had made for her, and waited for them at the door.
As soon as the two of them came out, they were startled when they saw the big guy she was holding in her hand, "What is this?" ”
Siqi smiled and said, "This is the guy I asked my second uncle to make up for me to catch fish, but it's much bigger than before, big brother and second brother, let's try it today." ”
Zijun took it and looked at it, "This is unusual, you just have some strange ideas, can this catch fish?" ”
"Absolutely." Siqi is very confident.
