Chapter 48: Family Help
The ant silkworms that have just come out can't eat much, that's about the same, mulberry leaves must be picked fresh every day, otherwise the silkworms will have problems eating them.
The sisters talked and laughed and walked back, naturally they had to meet a lot of people on the way, and the children of the Lin family were very likable, so everyone was willing to talk to them.
"Mengshan, what are you doing picking so many mulberry leaves? It's not good to feed pigs and chickens. ”
Meng Shan could still speak, and another woman on the side said, "Lao Lin's family has started to raise silkworms, this is to take it back to feed silkworms, right?" ”
Meng Shan smiled, "That is, we toss around blindly and try to raise." ”
The woman who began to speak said, "Silkworms are delicate things, and our family used to raise them, but before they could form cocoons, they all died, and your family is used to you." ”
Meng Shan didn't speak, Si Qi pulled her and said, "Sister, let's go back quickly, wait to feed it." ”
Meng Shan nodded, "Two aunts, let's go first." ”
When they were far away, the two women behind them said, "If a child can turn this upside down, he will definitely not live." ”
"Hey, we can't take care of other people's family affairs, and we didn't ask you and me to take the money to buy silkworm seeds, so let's say a few words."
The man smiled, "But I haven't seen the Du family for the past few days, saying that the Lin family is planning to divorce her, do you know about this?" ”
"Really? I'll just say why she hasn't come out to hang out these days. ”
"It's not what's wrong, I heard what the Yang family said the day before yesterday, saying that the Lin family had a quarrel, and I don't know why, anyway, she saw the Du family leave angrily, and I guess I went back to my parents' house."
This Yang family is also the daughter-in-law of Gu Zeshun, the only son of the Gu family, who is called the eldest mother.
"Ouch, what did Du Shi do, Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin's temper is good, and I can't bear it."
"Who knows."
On the other end, Meng Shan took a few younger sisters home, thinking about the words of the two women just now, they felt a little bottomless in their hearts.
Menghuan hesitated and asked, "Siqi, can we really raise silkworms?" Could it be a waste of thought? ”
Siqi smiled slightly, "Don't worry, we will definitely be able to raise silkworms, spin silk cocoons, and then make money, we are so bothered, God can see it, how can we bear to let us down?" ”
"But just now they said that silkworms are difficult to feed, what if they die?" Dream Ring is a little lost.
Siqi said, "How can I think about dying before I have even raised it?" Now that we have decided to raise it, we have to take care of it, we can't listen to other people's nonsense, is it possible that everyone else is raising it to death, and we have to raise it to death? ”
Mengzhu said on the side, "Yes, Siqi is right, let's just think more about it." ”
Menghuan was the youngest, and when the two sisters said so, she had some confidence in her heart and nodded, "Well, I know." ”
After returning home, they quickly brought water with their hands and feet, washed the mulberry leaves one by one, and then dried them with clean cloths, and dried them for a while before taking them to the silkworm room.
A few girls are very careful, for fear that something will go wrong, Zilong Zijie has been staying at home today, watching them busy in the yard, wanting to help but unable to find an opportunity, and being cramped and uneasy on the side.
Now the two brothers are really bottomless in their hearts, after all, the Du family has not come back, no matter what the Du family is, it is their mother's mother.
For children, their own mother is the best, and Du Shi still spoils them so much, and now that Du Shi is gone, it is like the sky is falling for the two of them.
So the Wu family asked them to help with the work, and they had to listen, because they were afraid, what if they were bullied in the Lin family without their mother? It's better to be obedient.
Siqi saw them, thinking to himself, and he didn't know if this time it was really changed or fake.
But she didn't have time to think about it now, it was still important to raise silkworms, even if she had to take them out to work, it would be a matter of a few days.
The ants and silkworms all hatched, and after two hours, the silkworms were about to start eating mulberry leaves, and a few girls took the dustpans prepared in advance, divided them, and put them on the shelves.
There are only a dozen dustpans at home, which are still usually used, and they are not needed for the time being in this season, so they will be used first.
Now it seems that these ten are not enough at all, and more needs to be needed.
In the later stage of silkworm raising, the volume has changed greatly, and now it is already dense, and when it grows up, it can't be put down at all, and it has to continue to be divided.
Siqi said, "Eldest sister, you have to ask your uncle to help weave more dustpans, these few are not enough at all, if the silkworms grow up and there is no dustpan, they can't be stacked together." ”
Meng Shan nodded, "Well, we'll tell him when my father comes back from work in a while, and the field is not busy now, and he should be able to vacate it." ”
The country men will weave these goods, this is the most basic craft, but there are also good and bad, some people are skillful, the basket or something made up, strong and good-looking, and some people can't weave it, it will fall apart in less than two years.
Lin Changfu is a good weaver, these baskets and baskets used at home are basically from his hands, as long as he has time, he will cut bamboo and come back, sit there and weave, and sit all day.
I have also sold it in the town before, but in this small place, most of the people who rush to the market are also from the countryside, and they have it at home, and what to do with it, everyone is not willing to spend that money.
At most, the people in the town bought a few baskets or something, but they couldn't sell them for money, so they didn't go after that.
When the people in the field came back from work, Siqi hurriedly went, and said with a smile, "Uncle, our silkworms have hatched, and now there are not enough dustpans." ”
Before she finished speaking, Lin Changfu laughed, "Miss Siqi, do you want me to make a few dustpans?" ”
Siqi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, Uncle is really amazing, I didn't finish talking about Uncle Uncle." ”
Lin Changfu washed his hands and said with a smile, "It's not difficult, there is no work in the field now, just pulling grass or something, it's almost done, I'll go cut bamboo this afternoon and come back to help you weave, see what you girls can toss." ”
Lin Changyuan said on the side, "The second brother also helps to weave the dustpan at home, and I can do the work in the field." ”
He felt that Lin Changgui's legs and feet were not good, and it was inconvenient to go to the ground all the time, so he wanted him to do some work at home, but he didn't say it directly, for fear that he would think too much and feel that his family would look down on him.
Lin Changgui was not stupid, he naturally understood what he thought, and nodded with a smile, "Then it's hard for you, the sun is very big in the afternoon, then we should hide in the shade at home." ”
Lin Changyuan smiled, "What's this, it's your own land, you have worked hard for so many years, I should do it." ”
