Chapter 61: Du's Calculations
Du Shi simply sat on the edge of the bed and began to wipe his tears, "Why am I so miserable, I married such a thing as you, I don't have the ability, I don't know how to protect your daughter-in-law, don't you see how my family bullied me today?" ”
"After raising silkworms and selling them for money, I gave them to a few children, what do children know? Or are they girls, sooner or later, they are going to get married, what are they doing with so much money in their hands? It's not meant to be taken to someone else's house. ”
Lin Changgui didn't know what to say when he heard this, and it was still a problem to make trouble.
Du Shi said with red eyes, "My mother is partial to the third child and their family, you see, as soon as the two of them came back, my father and mother came up with these ideas to help them save money." ”
Lin Changgui sighed, "Daddy didn't say that he wouldn't let us save, it's still the same sentence, if you are diligent, don't we have money to spend in our hands?" I see that Zilong Zijie is very good now, and I know that I will go to work with him, you see, I have saved so many herbs, and when the drug dealers go to the countryside to collect them, they can also sell them for a lot of silver. ”
Du Shi pouted, "How can you catch up with other people's silkworm raising, don't you know?" Today they went to town and sold it for nearly three pennies. ”
Lin Changgui lay down on the bed, "Raising silkworms is also tiring, don't you know that for these things, those girls are busy with white and black, this is as it should be." ”
Du Shi chattered a few words in the back, but Lin Changgui did not respond, and Du Shi was not interested.
Finally, he snorted, "Raising silkworms makes so much money, and in the future, you have to let Zilong Zijie follow them to work, what about our two babies, how good it is to divide the money into two parts, but they use a room to raise silkworms, and this house is also at home, how can it be used for nothing?" ”
At that end, Siqi and Si Yao also went back to the room to sleep, she handed over the five hundred yuan she had shared to Si Yao, and said with a smile, "Sister, this silver is placed here for you, just like last time, you just keep it." ”
Si Yao looked at her, "Qi'er, you should keep the money yourself, just get you a box, you have earned all this money with your hard work, how can I help you get it?" ”
Siqi smiled and said, "Sister, we are sisters, can't we still count the silver separately?" In the future, all the money I earn will be handed over to you, you can just take care of it, anyway, you do embroidery work at home all day long, by the way, take care of the money, it's good, if you need to buy fabrics, you can buy it directly. ”
As soon as she heard this, Si Yao nodded, "Okay, I'll keep the silver well." ”
Siqi stuck out his tongue, "Then I'll try to add silver to it, and try to save my sister's dowry as soon as possible." ”
"You said that I, the eldest brother hasn't married a wife yet, let's save a dowry for him first." Si Yao said with a smile.
Siqi nodded, "Yes, yes, save for the dowry, I have the motivation." ”
The two sisters are lying on the bed, their hearts are beautiful, Siqi likes their current family more and more, everyone is selfless, it's good.
Even if it is a hard day, the heart is as sweet as honey.
This first time the silkworm was successful, of course, you have to raise the second time, it is easy to raise it in summer, and when the weather is cold, there will be nowhere to pick mulberry leaves, and the silkworms do not eat dry.
This time, Wu asked them, "How many silkworm seeds do you buy this time?" ”
Siqi hurriedly said, "Grandma, let's buy one, otherwise I won't be able to get busy." ”
Wu also felt that this was the case, and before he could speak, Du Shi interjected on the side, "What are you buying one for, since this thing is so profitable, our family will raise more, if you girls are too busy to work, you will raise it in the public, and the silver will also be collected in the public, do you say okay?" ”
As soon as I heard it, I knew what I was thinking, and Siqi didn't talk nonsense with her, and said directly to Wu, "Grandma, although there are many mulberry trees in our village, we also use a lot of silkworms to raise a silkworm. ”
"Besides, this time silkworm raising still has to be busy with farming, and the work in the field is also a big deal at that time, so it can't be delayed."
"This time, seeing that our family has earned some money, it is difficult to guarantee that no one in the village will follow us to learn, and when the time comes, this family will also raise that family, where will there be enough to feed such mulberry trees?"
Wu smiled and nodded, "His son is clever, he has figured out everything, then raise another one, let your father go to the town tomorrow, and buy silkworm seeds for you, this time I will hand it over to you to toss, I am also relieved." ”
Siqi turned his head and saw Du Shi's resentful eyes, and was speechless, this Erniang is really just a brain, and one thought is whether she is good or not, she is really tired.
Du Shi said, "This time, Long Zijie also helped you pick mulberry leaves, which is not a difficult task, and they can't do it." ”
Meng Shan smiled and said, "What's wrong with this, we were just about to ask the two of them if they would like to be together." ”
Du Shi pursed his lips and didn't speak, always feeling aggrieved in his heart.
The silkworm seeds were soon bought, and they cleaned the silkworm room and started raising silkworms for the second time.
Last time, I didn't know if I could succeed, and I was so anxious that I couldn't do it, but this time I had to feel much more at ease.
I'm afraid that Zilong Zijie won't be able to figure it out, but they all explain it very clearly, and they will take them to learn whatever they do.
The second silkworm raising went smoothly, and when the silkworm slept for the second time, he thought about going to see the wild cotton on the mountain.
Zijun and they took Zilong Zijie to catch fish when they came back from school, Mengshan and they were cutting pigweed, she knew that the family would definitely not let her go to the mountains alone, so she simply didn't say anything and ran out of the house secretly.
She deliberately memorized the road last time, so she easily found the way, and carried a small basket, and threw it into the basket when she saw something good.
All the way up the hill soon came to that place, this mountain is densely vegetated, full of towering trees, and this place has no trees, only grass, direct sunlight, otherwise this wild cotton would not grow.
According to Siqi's imagination, the cotton should bloom at this time, and when she saw it, she was immediately relieved, she was not mistaken, this is indeed wild cotton, and now it is about to bloom.
There is still a lot of wild cotton in this patch, of course, it is not enough to spin thread, but if you come to see it yourself and harvest these cottonseeds, will you be able to try to plant it at home next year?
At this time, there was already cotton, otherwise there would not be these wild cotton, but they didn't have it in this place, and she was a child, and it was impossible for her to tell the adults to go to the field to find cotton seeds and come back, that would make people suspicious, and she had to take her time.
Siqi stayed on the mountain for a while, and then turned around and went down the mountain satisfied, picking up some cicada shells on the way, which is also traditional Chinese medicine, which can be sold for money.
