Siqi said silently in his heart, "God, you must give some face, this is the first attempt, if she fails, will the family still be able to trust her in the future?" Must be successful. ”

Mengzhu said, "It's okay now, we have something to do, and we will all go outside to pick mulberry leaves one by one in the future." ”

Menghuan was very happy, and nodded hurriedly, "I will definitely go to pick mulberry leaves, and the matter of picking mulberry leaves will be handed over to me in the future." ”

Siqi smiled and said, "You are not enough alone, these silkworms have grown up and eaten a lot, we all have to do it well, otherwise they will starve to death." ”

Zichen listened on the side, and quickly raised his little hand and said, "I'll go too." ”

Siqi smiled and touched his head, "You better stay at home, what can you do at such a young age?" ”

Later, Lin Changyuan bought the things back, and several children were eager to wear them at home, and they all came over curiously when they saw silkworm seeds.

Siqi has seen silkworm seeds once, and he is also very curious when he sees it at this time, such a small one can hatch a lot of fat silkworms in the future.

Lin Changyuan said, "Son, this is what you said you would do, then you must think about it, this silkworm seed is not cheap, such a piece costs a penny of silver, don't waste the silver." ”

Siqi nodded, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely bother to serve it." ”

They didn't dare to delay, and quickly took the silkworm seeds to the silkworm room, the current temperature is still a little cold, and they must bake some fire on the side, so that the silkworm seeds can hatch quickly.

This fire can't be too close, the temperature must be right, otherwise it will be roasted to death, and it won't hatch at all.

This is only the first step, Siqi has already felt the difficulty of this matter, no wonder silk is so expensive, this is really not simple.

It takes eight or nine days for silkworm seeds to hatch, and these eight or nine days have to be carefully cared for all the time, roasting them on fire.

Lin Changyuan didn't care about this, he cleaned up and went to the field to help with the work, so let the children do it, the adults don't have time to take care of this, and they can't do the work in the fields.

Meng Shan is the eldest child, she is also curious now, and her mind is on the silkworm, but she didn't forget to prepare dinner, otherwise it would be a real delay.

When she came back from work, Wu also went to see it, these children really looked good, she was very relieved, her own children are capable, can she be a grandmother?

During the meal, Wu said, "Now that the silkworm seeds have been bought, you should raise them well, and when it is time to spin silk, so many silkworms will eat a lot of mulberry leaves, and some of you will be busy at that time." ”

Zijun said, "We can still help pick mulberry leaves when we come back from school, eldest sister, if you need help, just tell us." ”

Du Shi saw the opportunity and added a sentence on the side, "There are also Zilong and Zijie, if there is anything to tell them, anyway, the two of them have been hanging around outside all day long, and they know where there are many mulberry trees." ”

She said this, but she just wanted Zilong and Zijie to be mixed in it, in case silkworm farming really came out, it would be easy to share them a little bit when they earned money.

But after she said it, Meng Shan and the others didn't answer, so they continued to eat.

Du Shi was very unhappy in her heart, she was also an elder anyway, and this is how these children treated her?

Lin Dezheng and Wu didn't answer, Wu said, "Now the weather is starting to get hot, today I see that there are already prunella grass on the edge of the field, if you have time, you can also pull some, this can be exchanged for some silver in the town's pharmacy, from this year onwards, I won't take the money in your children's hands, just take it yourself, whoever saves more is who can do it, okay?" ”

Several of the children nodded happily, "We know grandma." ”

Siqi pondered in his mind that there are many ways for children in the countryside to earn pocket money, such as selling herbs, there are several herbs to sell in summer, prunella grass, passing yellow, and you can also go to the mountains to pick up silkworm shells and beat paulownia seeds.

These are all ways for children to save pocket money, although they don't earn much, but they are also an income, and she is young now, and she doesn't dare to look down on these incomes.

When he was about to finish eating, Wu said again, "There are still a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival, the eldest daughter-in-law, tomorrow you take some money to the town to buy some red dates and come back, we are going to make zongzi." ”

"This year, I will pack some more, let Zijun Zikang take some to the school for Mr., the two of them have also gone to school for two years, and they have never said that it is nothing to send some zongzi during the festival."

Liu Shi responded, calculating in his heart how much he would pack this year, and tomorrow's red dates and zongzi leaves would be bought.

Du Shi was angry just now, and he was even more unhappy when he heard this.

Zijun and Zikang have to take zongzi to pay homage to their husband when they go to school, this zongzi is a good thing, they eat it once a year, and the rice in it is white, so they take it away and give it away, she is really distressed, it is better to keep it for herself than anything else.

This is still someone else's child studying, and her own son is not studying.

Thinking of this, Du Shi said, "Mother, let Zilong Zijie go to school, Zilong is nine years old this year, and it will be too late to go to the school." ”

As soon as Lin Dezheng heard this, he directly took over the conversation, "You are embarrassed to mention it now, I said it when Zijun Zikang went to the school two years ago, otherwise let Zilong go with him, what did you say at that time?" Zilong is still young, it's not good to go to the school at such a young age, let him play for a few years, and go again when he is older, now I know that he is in a hurry? ”

This was indeed said by Du Shi, and she had no way to deny it, so she had to lick her face and say, "Dad, now Zilong is two years older, it's okay to go, or let him go together?" ”

Wu said, "Even if you want to go, you can only wait until next year, and this year has been open for a long time, so let's enroll next year." ”

Although the Lin family is not wealthy, they still attach great importance to culture and education, and they always feel that there are a few scholars in the family who have a head start.

Lin Changqing has been reading for so many years, although in the end he only came to the point of lifting people, and he has not made a big difference, but the family has never regretted it, as long as the boys in the family are willing to go to the school to study, they will send them there.

Then Siqi thought that most of his thoughts were on the silkworm seeds, just waiting for them to hatch, eight or nine days is not long, but when he really waits, it is really anxious to die.

Every morning, as soon as she wakes up, she has to go to the silkworm room to have a look, although it has not yet hatched, but she can also see some changes.
