Chapter 31 Is it possible to raise silkworms?

Siqi closed his eyes, only feeling that he couldn't wash himself when he jumped into the Yellow River, why did he say this?

Zijun said with a straight face, "Qi'er, you can't say these things casually in the future, you are still young now, and you spend all day talking about who you want to marry, isn't that a joke?" ”

Siqi pouted, "Big brother, it seems that you have been talking about me just now, right?" ”

Zijun touched his head, "Okay, I won't talk about you in the future." ”

After that, the others also went up to other trees and began to pick mulberry fruits, but no one mentioned it.

Siqi was carrying a small basket, there were a lot of mulberry fruits on this tree, and she picked most of the basket after a while, and then came down from the tree.

As soon as I turned around, I happened to meet the wide line of sight, and I always felt weird, so I quickly turned my face away, so I wouldn't let people misunderstand, right? She was to blame for this.

As a result, Tiankuo thought in his heart, why is he shy? Could it be that this girl really likes him?

But they're still young, and it's too early to talk about marriage, so let's see later.

A group of children played for a while before they were ready to go back, Tiankuo and Tianyou took a basket, and they didn't pick much at this time, so Zijun gave them his own.

"Anyway, this thing will be fresh, we will have enough, let's go back, it's getting dark."

When Siqi went home, he washed the mulberry fruit with Menghuan, took a big bowl and put it on the table.

Wu smiled and said, "There is one more thing on the table today." ”

Siqi smiled, "Grandma, we went to pick mulberry fruits today, and we came back with a lot of them, so you can taste them too." ”

Children like this stuff, so how can adults have the leisure to get these things to eat on weekdays? But it's also a memory from when I was a child, and Lin Dezheng laughed and ate a lot.

Everyone reached out and took some food, but Du Shi couldn't look down on it, who ate this thing when eating? It's everywhere.

Siqi tilted his head and said, "Grandma, I see that there are a lot of mulberry trees in the village, but there is no one in our village to raise silkworms, isn't it a waste?" Raising silkworms is also quite profitable. ”

Wu said, "There were people who raised it before, and they went outside to learn the craft, but I don't know what's going on, and I haven't been able to do it well, so everyone hasn't learned it." ”

The technology of raising silkworms has long been available, but ordinary rural people still don't know it, and they have to learn it deliberately.

Thinking about it at this time, he said, "Then let's also go and learn, and then raise silkworms at home, so that we can earn a lot of money." ”

Before Wu Shi could speak, Du Shi snorted coldly on the side, "Raising silkworms, you said it easily, but it's troublesome, you have to put a lot of thought into it, we can't plant so much land, who cares about this?" You little kid don't mess with ideas. ”

If this was something else, Siqi wouldn't have argued with her at this time, but it was about whether the family could live a better life, and of course she couldn't give up easily.

At this time, Du Shiyi spoke, and Siqi immediately said, "Erniang, you have to bother to do everything, otherwise how can you make money?" If you have been doing painless work, you will definitely not be able to make money, and you will not be able to live a good life, Erniang also wants to have meat to eat every day, right? ”

After speaking, without waiting for Du Shi to speak, Siqi looked at Wu Shi again and said, "Grandma, I think we can give it a try, although raising silkworms is labor-intensive, but it is necessary to spend a little more effort on weekdays." ”

"We children do some chores at home, in fact, the more diligent we can also free up, in case we are busy and raise silkworms, then there will be an extra income."

Wu Shi was a little hesitant when he heard this, thinking about whether he could do it, and at this time Meng Shan also said on the side, "Grandma, let's be diligent, earn more silver, and let the family live a good life." ”

Wu said, "This thing makes me think about it, now let's eat first, our village didn't have silkworms before, but it didn't take long and didn't get it, the silkworms are not good to serve, and as soon as the weather cools down, there are problems everywhere." ”

Siqi frowned, wondering what went wrong, it stands to reason that raising silkworms should not be as troublesome as grandma said, she remembered that when she went to the countryside in her previous life, there were people in the countryside who also raised silkworms, and she also went to see it, people have always served very well, and life is better than other families.

Siqi is now thinking about making money, she is only nine years old now, and the conditions are limited, it is impossible to make a lot of money at once, you have to seize every opportunity, there are so many mulberry trees in Tongxin Village, it is a pity not to raise silkworms.

She mentioned it, but her grandmother didn't directly agree, so she couldn't continue to mention it now.

It's hard to just force an answer, right? That's too ignorant, and it will make grandma have a bad impression of her.

Everyone talked about something else, and after a while, they finished their meals and went to work.

In the evening, Wu and Lin De were returning to the house, sitting on the edge of the bed and talking.

Wu asked him, "Old man, can you tell me if this idea of Siqi is okay?" ”

Lin Dezheng pondered for a while, and said, "I can't say anything about this, if you want to talk about silkworm raising, it must be very troublesome, we didn't get it before, it was because the family was too busy to work, and the children were still young at that time." ”

"But now in addition to Zichen, other children can help with the work, if you buy some silkworm seeds and try it back, it's not impossible, anyway, there are so many mulberry trees in the village, it's not any family's, you can go to pick mulberry leaves, buy some silkworm seeds back, in case these children really get it right, then sell the cocoons is also an income."

Wu nodded, "I think so too, or should I think about it?" ”

Lin Dezheng said, "Yes, I think that child is a clever person, he has been clever since he was a child, and now that he is older, there are more and more ghost ideas, so you let her ponder, otherwise how uncomfortable will she feel in her heart?" ”

Wu smiled, "This child is following her father, and he was smart when he was a child." ”

Wu thought for a while, and then said, "Our family now pays all the money in the public school, but the children are also older, and there is nothing wrong with saving a little private house, otherwise starting from this silkworm raising, we will collect whatever income we have in the future, how about we only take the money we earn from the grain produced in the field?" ”

Lin Dezheng thought about it, but it was also the same reason, it was not right to keep the money in his hands all the time, the children worked hard for a while, and it was also appropriate to hold the money in their hands.

He nodded, "That's good, Zijun and his brothers are both studying, if you have money, you can buy some pen, ink and paper by yourself, don't have to ask you for money so troublesomely, keep asking for money, and the child is not comfortable." ”
