Chapter 178: Will you weave cloth

The Wang family knew what she meant, this was because they didn't want to deal with it easily, the Lin family loved their daughters very much, and naturally they were not willing to give them a casual marriage.

Even if the sky is good, if they don't like it, they naturally won't nod.

Wang also understands that she didn't want Xuan to respond when she said this, but to show that her family meant this, just to say it in her heart.

"I'm going to grow up, if I really see the right eye, then our two families will have to become parents."

Xuan smiled and said, "That's good, I'm reluctant to leave my son far from home." ”

Siqi drove the chicken back, and saw that Wang and Xuan were laughing, and they stopped laughing as soon as she came, as if they were talking bad about her.

She didn't ask, she continued to help grow vegetables, and the mother and daughter went home together after planting vegetables in Gu's house.

After a while, Xuan went back to the house to pack his clothes, the weather was starting to get hot, and he had to find some light clothes to come out.

She still put the cotton that Siqi got back in the closet, Siqi sat on the edge of the bed and played, looked at the cotton and said, "Mother, how do you weave cloth?" ”

Xuan smiled and said, "With a loom, spin the thread first and then weave the cloth." ”

"Can this cotton be woven into cloth?"

Xuanshi paused and rubbed the cotton, "I haven't woven this, but it should be okay." ”

Si Qixin said, it must be possible, our Gada is more cotton.

Xuanshi pondered for a while and had an idea, "If you really harvest cotton this year, the amount is not small, you can try it, there is also a loom at home, but it will not be used for many years, and it will have to be repaired before it can be used." ”

Siqi tilted his head and said, "Mother, you can also weave." ”

Xuan smiled and touched her head, "Of course it will, how many women won't?" In the past, the cloth at home was woven by myself, but then life was difficult, and your father and I went out to open a restaurant, and there were not enough people in the family, so your grandmother decided to buy cloth and come back to make clothes, and the loom was kept there and useless. ”

Siqi smiled and nodded, in fact, she knew in her heart that how many women in ancient times couldn't weave?

The more you go forward, the more you will weave cloth, because the production capacity is too low, the commodity economy is underdeveloped, and many of them are self-produced and sold.

The higher the level of social development, the more frequent the exchange of commodities, and naturally there is a social division of labor, some people who weave a lot of cloth will weave a lot, and sell it, while those who are too busy or do not know how to weave cloth will also sell grain and buy cloth in a variety of places.

It is precisely because of this social division of labor that society can develop.

"That's great, when we collect the cotton lady, we will try, see if we can weave into cloth, if this is made into cotton cloth, it must be much finer and softer than the current linen, and it can be sold at a good price, if this way can really make money, we can plant a lot of cotton, whether it is selling cotton or selling cotton cloth in the future, we can make money."

Xuan's is a woman with brains, after Siqi said this, she saw the feasibility of this road, and nodded, "It's naturally good to say this, but I don't know if cotton can be planted smoothly, let's wait and see." ”

Siqi smiled and said, "Great, I finally found a way to make money, mother, do you think grandparents will agree to take part of the family's land out to grow cotton?" ”

Xuanshi thought for a while, "Daddy and mother will persuade them well, if it still doesn't work, just discuss it with your grandparents, I also said before, we have something to propose." ”

Speaking of this, Xuan's suddenly thought of something, and said with a smile, "Qi'er, thanks to you for giving your father a wake-up call, things are much easier now." ”

What the Xuan clan said was that Siqi asked them to hand over the silver and put forward the conditions, which was to prevent the Du clan at that time, but now it seems to be very convenient.

If this cotton can really be planted, then it has to be a little more varied, and the old couple can't understand it for a while, and it is not easy to get them to agree to plant cotton, but if there is this matter ahead, it will be much easier.

Although it is not good to go against the old man's intentions, but this is also for the sake of the family to live a good life, plant for a year, and earn money They will know.

Siqi smiled, "Mother, this is really good." ”

The spring ploughing in March was also very busy, and there was more work in the field, and Lin Dezheng and Wu couldn't rest, so they went to work in the fields together.

This year, several children in the family also have their busy work, the weather is warm, Wu asked Lin Changyuan to go to the town to buy silkworm seeds for them, the family planted so many mulberry trees, if you don't raise silkworms is really a waste.

"Third brother, this year your second brother has made some dustpans, the guy is enough, the house is quite big, you can put up a few shelves when you clean it up, and bring back two silkworm seeds."

Lin Changyuan nodded, and said to Siqi and them, "You guys can think about it, these two silkworm seeds have a lot to eat, and when the cocoons are about to form, you have to feed the mulberry leaves all the time, don't be tired when the time comes." ”

Siqi smiled and said, "Dad also underestimates us too much, the silkworms have already been raised, can we still feed them?" It's just that no matter how hard it is, it's just a few days, just get through it. ”

The most important thing is income, according to last year's price, one more silkworm seed can earn more than two taels of silver at a time, this temptation is too great.

Several of their children have discussed it before, hard work must be hard work, and when the time comes, don't be lazy, it will be more cost-effective to raise two.

Mengzhu also said, "Third uncle, we have all thought about it, we are not afraid of being tired, and it is most important to earn more money so that the family can live a good life." ”

Hearing this, Wu couldn't tell what it was like, the children were sensible, and she was naturally happy as a grandmother, and felt that it was too distressing for them to be so sensible.

Wu said, "There are so many people in our family, there is always a way, buy it back." ”

Lin Changyuan was afraid that the children would be tired, as long as a few of them thought about it, they would be fine, and they drove the ox cart to the town to buy silkworm seeds.

Mengzhu took his younger brothers and sisters to clean up the silkworm room, they must be exceptionally clean, yesterday Lin Changfu had already helped them clean up the cobwebs and dust on the roof, and today the main thing is to clean up below.

All the shelves in the dustpan are taken outside to be cleaned, allowed to dry in the sun, and the house is cleaned several times to dry the water and moisture, and then the utensils are put back in the house.

The charcoal collected in the winter came in handy, and the weather was not yet up to the temperature for hatching silkworm seeds, so it had to be warmed.

Lin Changyuan bought silkworm seeds for them, and also bought a string of sugar gourds for a child, the child just likes this, and every time he goes to the town, he will buy it back.

As a result, except for Zichen, the other children were not interested in the sugar gourd, and were busy serving the silkworm room.
