"Little Sister Wen!"

As soon as Zhang Shuhua left with her front foot, Zhang Alan came with her back foot, and she didn't give Chen Wen a chance to breathe.

Li Suniang also laughed, "Our Xiao Wen is really busy. ”

Chen Wen had no choice but to support his forehead, and he felt it too.

"Hello Grandma Li!" Zhang Alan came in and greeted Li Suniang first, and then squeezed his eyebrows at Chen Wen, looking very happy.

Chen Wen tilted his head, puzzled.

Li Suniang saw it in her eyes, and she didn't bother the two little girls anymore, "You guys are busy, I'll go to find your Grandma Xiangying." ”

"Come back early." Chen Wen couldn't help but admonish.

"Got it."

When Li Suniang walked away, Zhang Alan simply let go of her temperament and sat on the chair with her legs crossed.

Chen Wen sorted out the cloth and prepared to put it in the cabinet where he usually put his clothes.

Zhang Alan watched Chen Wen walk in front of her, she glanced at the red cloth in Chen Wen's hand, and asked, "Have you bought a new cloth?" ”

Thinking that this money transaction was brought about by Zhang Alan's vigorous 'publicity', Chen Wen was not ready to hide it from her, "Sister Shuhua's cloth." ”

Zhang Alan's little brain turned fast, and he understood it all at once.

"I said, how could I see Sister Shuhua at your doorstep, it turned out that she came to you to make clothes."

Chen Wen smiled, "Yes, it's thanks to you, a little propaganda expert." ”

Chen Wen found that Zhang Alan had an advantage that she could never learn, that is, she could talk to everyone in the village, and she could answer two sentences and talk to each other.

So in just these days, the people in the village have more or less been publicized by Zhang Alan.

"What little expert?"

"Praise you."

"Hey, hey." Zhang Alan smiled innocently, "This is your first business." ”

"yes, it's still a happy event."

Zhang Alan was very happy for Chen Wen, but when he thought that Chen Wen was going to make clothes, he didn't know that there was not much time, and his smile collapsed.

Looking at Zhang Alan's inexplicably frustrated expression, Chen Wen was puzzled, "What's the matter, aren't you happy?" ”

"Happy, but how long will it take you to make this wedding dress?"

Chen Wen counted it carefully, didn't dare to jump to conclusions, and said a decent time, "I will definitely be able to do it within a month." ”

Zhang Alan exclaimed, "A month? ”

"Soon." To make a wedding dress, there is no sewing machine, it is all hand-sewn, and it is the first time she tries to sew and Tilian, so she has to make a sample first, and she will drive out one within a month, which is already very fast.

Besides, Zhang Shuhua didn't say anything, what was Alan surprised about?

"No, no, no." Zhang Alan waved his hand, sat up straight, and said, "Then you don't raise silkworms?" "Don't be Sister Xiaowen doesn't raise silkworms.

Chen Wen was stunned for a moment, "Raise it." ”

Who said that she would not raise it, and that making clothes would be clothes, but the silkworm breeding plan would never be stranded, and she really wanted to wear warm new clothes in winter.

Besides, she has a little principal now, so she doesn't need to borrow money from her grandmother.

But she has been troubled a lot recently because she can't solve the matter of silkworm eggs. She is not afraid of all kinds of problems that will be encountered in raising silkworms in the future, and she is now afraid that her plan will fail in the first step.

As soon as she heard her say that she wanted to raise it, Zhang Alan breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, I thought you wouldn't raise it, so I inquired in vain." ”

Chen Wen hurriedly dragged a chair, went to Zhang Alan's side, and hurriedly asked, "What are you inquiring about?" ”

"Of course, who is going to the county seat these days."

"Who's going?"

Chen Wen couldn't wait to ask, if someone wanted to go to the county seat, it would solve a big problem for her.

The silkworm eggs she wants to buy are not sold in the countryside, and she must go to the county seat to buy them, but Zhangjia Village is several miles away from the county seat, and it takes about a day to walk to the county seat, and it takes two days to go back and forth.

Therefore, if you rush to the county seat, the people in the village will use ox carts to travel, saving half of the time.

But unfortunately, before Chen Wen had a sericulture plan, most of the men in the village had already left the village one after another to work.

Grandma also offered to borrow an ox cart and go with her, but of course she didn't get it.

So Chen Wen asked Zhang Alan to inquire if there was anyone in the nearby village who was going to the county seat, so she could ask someone to buy some eggs and come back.

Alain really inquired.

"It's from Liuhe Village, his name is Liu Tianquan, he is going to the county seat to deliver shoes to his father, he will leave early tomorrow morning, we have to go to the village entrance early to wait for him."

"Okay."

"The news has arrived, then I'll go back first, my sister said that she would make wild vegetable cakes at night, and I have to go back to help her." Zhang Alan got up happily, and Chen Wen sent her.

Zhang Alan walked out and turned back, "I'll send it to you later." ”

"Thank you, Sister Alain."

After sending Zhang Alan away, Chen Wen touched the copper plate in his small pocket, and a new problem came.

How much does it cost to buy silkworm eggs? Her sixty copper plates won't be enough, right...... Chen Wen thought again, silkworm eggs should not be more expensive than cloth.

I'll have to wait for my grandmother to come back and ask her.

When his grandmother returned, Chen Wen went to the firewood room to move the wooden planks that had been laid on the ground when he was making clothes to the yard, scooped a basin of water from the water tank, and cleaned the planks.

I cleaned the house again, saw that there was less water in the tank, and went to the stream not far away to fetch water back and forth.

After fetching the water and watching the sun go west, Chen Wen sighed, time is too fast, the day has passed again.

Then without resting, I cooked, heated the leftovers from noon, and waited for my grandmother to come back.

Looking forward to grandma not coming back, Chen Wen was about to go out to find grandma to come back for dinner, so she came back, followed by Zhang Alan.

Li Suniang explained: "Passing by Alain's house, it happened that she was also coming to our house, so they came back together. ”

"Okay, grandma, let's go eat first."

Li Suniang didn't say anything, so she went in first. Zhang Alan stuffed the plate into Chen Wen's hand, "Now, add vegetables, the wild vegetable cakes made by my sister are the most delicious in the village." ”

The bottom of the plate is warm, and the smell is fragrant, just right to eat.

Chen Wen smelled the smell and became greedy, "Thank you, Sister Alan, you can help me again, thank Sister Ajun." ”

"You're welcome, hee-hee." Zhang Alan pushed Chen Wen's hand, "You hurry up and eat." With that, he left.

Chen Wen went into the house with wild vegetable cakes, and grandma served the meal and sat and waited for her to come in and start the meal.

"Why did you come back so late?"

"There's something going on, it's delayed." Li Suniang took the cake given by Chen Wen and took a bite, "Sit down." ”

looked like he was hiding something, but Chen Wen didn't ask, sat down and ate obediently, and after eating, he took over the work of washing dishes.

After washing the dishes, I moved a small stool and sat at the door with my grandmother to rest.

Chen Wen was lying on his grandmother's lap, remembering the question at noon, so he asked his grandmother, "Grandma, do you know how many copper plates are needed to buy silkworm eggs?" ”

In these years, everyone planted cotton and spun cotton threads, and few people worked hard to raise silkworms, so few silkworm eggs were cultivated. ”

Li Suniang thought secretly. Fifty copper plates are equivalent to the same mu of paddy field grain, and whether this silkworm can live or not has to be said separately.

Chen Wen felt that fifty copper plates were indeed a bit expensive, and she only made sixty copper plates for a dress.

She was a little distressed, the money she had just received would flow out tomorrow.

Think about it, I can't bear the wolf of the child, and the money can be earned again, but after this period of growth, the silkworm can only be raised next year, and she will have no winter clothes.

Nothing was more important than her fear of the cold.
