The two of them worked together to carry the mulberry tree back, and when they walked to Aunt Lian and Uncle Baishun's house, there was no more noise there, and a woman was drying clothes.

It is the eldest daughter of Aunt Lian and Uncle Baishun, Zhang Shuhua.

There are two little beauties in the village, both from the families of Aunt Lian and Uncle Baishun, and their two daughters are the most beautiful in the village.

The eldest daughter, Zhang Shuhua, is nineteen years old this year, and there are many young men in the village who like her, but she has already promised that she will marry a young man from a neighboring village in two months.

In Zhangjiacun these days, this is the first time Chen Wen has seen her.

"Sister Shuhua." Zhang Alan greeted her from a distance, and Chen Wen also bowed his head to her and smiled slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.

Zhang Shuhua subconsciously raised her head, saw the two of them, smiled quite far-fetchedly, and lowered her head quickly.

Sister Shuhua is good-natured, and she usually responds enthusiastically when she sees it...... Zhang Alan, who had never been treated like this by Sister Shuhua, couldn't help but muttered to Chen Wen in a low voice, "Sister Shuhua, what's wrong?" ”

Although Zhang Shuhua moved quickly, Chen Wen could see clearly that Zhang Shuhua's nose was red and her eyes were red and swollen, which was a trace of crying, maybe it was because her father and mother were crying.

"Her father and mother were arguing fiercely just now, how can they be in the mood to greet you, let's go back quickly."

"Yes."

After walking a little farther, Chen Wen couldn't help but glance back again, and saw Zhang Shuhua wiping her tears, and couldn't help but wonder.

Like Aunt Lian and Uncle Baishun, they quarreled at two ends for three days, and Sister Shuhua cried for them at two ends for three days?

But Chen Wen is not curious about other people's family affairs.

The two of them moved the mulberry tree to the yard, and Zhang Alan looked around and asked her, "Where are you going to plant it?" ”

Chen Wen casually pointed to the small open space next to the poplar tree, "Plant here first, and I'll go get a shovel." ”

The movement of the conversation attracted Grandma Li, who went out to take a look and was surprised to see the two little girls coming back with a fruit tree.

"What is this going to do?"

Zhang Alan touched his nose, "We dug up the mulberry tree and came back, and Sister Xiaowen said that we would use leaves to raise silkworms." ”

"Silkworm farming?" Li Suniang never expected that her granddaughter wanted to raise silkworms.

She knows a little bit about raising silkworms, and it is not easy to raise those expensive things well.

Before, there was a family in the neighboring village who was hot and sold other people's silk, and they also tried to raise silkworms, bought silkworm eggs and came back, raised them for more than ten days, but they couldn't live, and a lot of silkworms died, and the silk didn't vomit, so they couldn't even earn back the capital, and they cried miserably.

Just this incident has dispelled many people's thoughts of raising this thing.

Chen Wen drank a little water in the kitchen and put some into the bamboo tube.

He took out the bamboo tube and a shovel, approached and listened, listened to them discussing the matter of raising silkworms, handed the bamboo tube to Zhang Alan, and said to grandma, "Grandma, I want to raise silkworms for a season." ”

"That thing is very expensive, it's not easy to raise, and it takes time, and if you can't feed it, you'll cry when the time comes."

Chen Wen smiled and didn't waver at all, "You have to try to know." ”

Although she had never raised silkworms before, she had this idea and wanted to observe the growth of silkworm babies and finally break out of the cocoon into a butterfly, so she also learned some methods of raising silkworms, but later for various reasons, she dispelled this idea.

I didn't expect that silkworm raising would have to be done in ancient times.

If she failed, she would no longer want to use silk to make clothes, so she had to divide the farming and sell rice, and strive to make warm clothes for her grandmother and herself before winter.

Li Suniang still wanted to continue to persuade Chen Wen, but looking at her eyes eager to try, for some reason, the words were blocked in her throat and couldn't speak.

I don't know if I'm afraid of rejecting her, I will see my granddaughter's lost eyes.

After thinking about it, I still gave up persuading her. That's it, just let her raise a little, let her know that the expensive thing is not easy to raise, she doesn't have to bother with her own words, she will naturally give up.

Chen Wen saw that her grandmother didn't want to say much, and knew that she agreed, and her heart was overjoyed, "Grandma is so good." ”

Li Suniang shook her head helplessly and went back to the house.

Chen Wen picked up the shovel one by one, stepped on the soil, and dug a big pit with his hands.

Because there was only one shovel, when Chen Wen was digging a pit, Zhang Alan sat on the side, washed a large handful of mulberries, and threw them into his mouth one after another.

Chen Wen also saw that Zhang Alan's lips were a little black after digging and when he wiped his sweat with a sweat towel, he hurriedly stopped her, "Don't eat it." ”

Zhang Alan thought that Chen Wen was afraid that he would eat all the mulberry fruits, so he pointed to the fruit tree at his feet and explained, "There are many more." ”

"If you eat too much of this fruit, your tongue will be blackened." Chen Wen pointed to his mouth and touched his stomach again, "The stomach will also be pantothenic acid, and it will feel nauseous, so you can't eat a lot." ”

Zhang Alan looked at the few mulberry fruits left in his hand, as if he had eaten too much, "Then look, is my tongue black?" Sticking out his tongue, he couldn't see it, so he was anxious to let Chen Wen see it.

Chen Wen was so cute by her, smiled, and nodded.

Zhang Alan was at a loss to go around in circles, "Then what should I do, will it be like this forever?" ”

"No, it's just ......" Chen Wen couldn't help laughing, trying to tease her.

"What?"

"Your lips are also a little dark, as if they have been poisoned! Do you feel bad about it? ”

Originally, Zhang Alan didn't feel anything, but when she said it, she felt that she was uncomfortable anywhere.

"I'm a little stuffy in my chest, is this a precursor to poisoning?" After speaking, he swallowed hard, "I don't seem to have an uncomfortable throat." ”

Chen Wen sneered at her nervous and serious look.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Alan gradually reacted to being tricked by her, and stomped her feet angrily, "Are you lying to me?" ”

"I didn't lie to you, my lips are really black, like poisoning, but drink more water, and this 'poison' should disappear in a few days."

"Humph! How dare you intimidate me, I have decided to ignore you again today! Grow your own. ”

Then he went away angrily and did not look back.

Chen Wen squatted down, laughing so much that tears came out, Alan is too funny, and his angry appearance is also cute.

Zhang Alan did what he said, and he really didn't pay attention to Chen Wen for a day.

But the next day, like no one else, I saw Chen Wen also smiling and sticking to it, going to the field with Chen Wen in the morning, and when I came back, I came to Chen Wen's house to see the growth of the mulberry tree.

Chen Wen didn't mention the teasing of her yesterday, and the two of them had a tacit understanding.

In the afternoon, the two of them went to the back mountain to dig up two mulberry trees and give them a nest.

The trees were all planted in the courtyard of Chen Wen's house, and the originally spacious front yard suddenly became crowded. Chen Wen thought that it should be very cool in the summer.

A few days later, when June came, she borrowed money from her grandmother to buy silkworm eggs, start her silkworm breeding business, and live a warm life in winter!
