Chapter Forty-Eight: The Mountain Cabin
Sending away the winter shopkeeper, she yawned to disperse the chickens and ducks, and took Kapok back to sleep.
After Su Chengqi sent Su Chong to see Mr. Jin, he went back to the village to find a few villagers to cut down trees.
In this year, who belongs to the mountain, and whose trees and weeds belong to the mountain, if you are so generous, you will allow the villagers to cut the mangs and return home as firewood.
Without the consent of the Su family, no one can pick up branches and return home, even if it is a branch the size of a baby's arm.
But I couldn't bear to steal firewood at night, so I stole it home and hid it and burned it slowly. Unable to prevent the villagers, the Su family directly took it off guard and dragged the fist-thick wood home. The rest was left on the hill and allowed to be picked up by the villagers.
During this period, Su Lingyu hired people to plant mulberry trees at the foot of the Great Wilderness Mountain.
In the following days, Su Chongjin continued to study in a private school, returning home one day every seven days. Su Shan was taken out by Li Yongzhi, not to take him to meet someone more powerful than him, so he caught him up the mountain to study together.
The first two times Su Shan went out happily, bowed his head and returned home depressed. didn't want to go out again for the third time, but Li Yongzhi pursued him and he was coaxed again.
Li Yongzhi is good at using stratagems, suppressing Su Shan twice and praising him once. Su Shan gradually stabilized his mentality in this suppression and praise, and was not arrogant and presumptuous.
Everyone has a herd nature, and whoever follows learns from whomever they follow. Su Shan followed behind Li Yongzhi and learned to be steady, even if he didn't change quickly, there were some changes in the subtlety.
may be because his achievements are better than Su Chong's, so he is above Su Chong in terms of mentality, and he no longer respects Su Chong very much, so he will ignore Su Chong's advantages.
There is Li Yongzhi, who is stronger than him, who is suppressing, and his mentality is correct, so he learned from Li Yongzhi that he should have been stable a long time ago.
Between the morning and evening, the flowers bloom and fall, the hibiscus blossoms, and the summer solstice arrives.
The wooden house that Su Lingyu never forgot was built, and the wooden house erected on the pond was one door and three households. Entering the door is a small living room, on the left is the place where Su Shan Su rereads his book, and on the right is the place where the guests are feasted.
The small door on the left is the Sushan Suzhong Lounge, and when they are not at home, it is Su Chengqi's place to take a cool spot. On the right is the place where the female dependents take a cool day, and they are not afraid of the heat when they take a nap in summer.
Su Chengqi caught a dog, tied it to the edge of the wooden house, and relied on it to watch the house at night when no one was around.
The kapok saplings have been planted, taking root and sprouting with the help of the spiritual spring, and the mortality rate is very low. The suggestion of planting longan trees is not accepted for the time being.
On this day, she took the kapok down the mountain, and saw Li Lezi and Erniu in her paddy field, digging mud to catch loaches and looking for yellow eels.
They had a good harvest, and there were not only large field snails in the barrels, but also two or three yellow eels.
The second girl saw her dodging two points, but Li Lezi was not afraid. He has a thick skin, and he looks like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
"Li Lezi, your daughter-in-law ......"
"How can my daughter-in-law use your little doll to say, are you looking for a beating?" Li Lezi exploded, it really looked like he was going to hit someone.
The second girl has been in Lijia Village for nearly three months, and her stomach has not moved, which makes Li Leper Niang worried. not only found all kinds of home remedies for the second girl to eat, but also scolded the second girl openly and secretly for not laying eggs.
The barefoot doctor in the village said that the second girl was treated badly when she was a child, she did not eat well all the year round, her body was weak and her uterus was cold, and she was not suitable for pregnancy. Let Li Lezi take care of it for a year and a half, maybe he will be able to give birth to a baby next year.
There are few people who remember the doctor's instructions, and there are many people who remember that the second girl can't give birth, and the women in the village laugh openly and secretly, which makes the second girl dare not interact with the people in the village.
Since Li Lezi has a daughter-in-law, he is willing to listen to his daughter-in-law's words, but he works in and out with his daughter-in-law, and he doesn't steal chickens and dogs. Because the second girl's affairs often fight with others, and there are more verbal fights.
"Crushed bayberry, dragon sprout grass, moon lotus, zeelan, blood angelica, moon flower and other things, soaked in rice wine or sorghum wine for seven days. Take a sip every morning and evening, and it will make people change color within three months. ”
Li Lezi's clenched fists relaxed, and he listened to her continue.
"The above-mentioned medicinal herbs can be bought in the herb shop, but the moon flowers are hard to find. No one in Liangguancheng planted moon flowers, and if you want to, you have to go to Nanyang City to find them. If you can find fourteen moon flowers, I will grant you a pound of sorghum wine. ”
After giving birth to Xiao Wu, my mother somehow often had menstrual cramps and irregular menstruation. When she was asked to see a doctor, she asked the doctor in the city the day before yesterday and got the recipe for making wine. I'm looking for someone to find the tweed.
"Talking counts?"
"Naturally. If I can't give you wine, I'll give you a duck and let you change it. ”
"Good. I'll leave for Nanyang City tomorrow. ”
She walked down the mountain road, "Don't be afraid that someone will bully the second girl, the second batch of silkworms in my family is coming out, and I need someone to help pick mulberry leaves and cut mulberry silk." You let her come to my house to work, and promise you ten cents a day. ”
Li Lezi and Erniu were overjoyed, "You go home and tell your family, don't talk empty here." ”
"My third sister never talks empty words." Kapok jumped down the mountain road and glared at Li Lezi.
"It's not for nothing to work for the second girl, I want you to bring back the flowers and leaves. It is said that the moon flowers are very beautiful, and I want to plant them to take a look. ”
"Cut, only kids like this kind of thing." How can it be important to grow flowers than food, children are really children.
Su Lingyu didn't care, and went home with the jumping kapok.
…………
Su Zhang invited a few village women to weave straw rows, and asked people to build thatched huts out of bamboo and wood.
The low two-door thatched house is rectangular in shape, with a pointed top and a bottom, which can shelter from rain and resist heat. The silkworm baby lives comfortably and eats fragrantly. Contributed more than 1,000 cocoons to the Su family.
Wang Lung was well-informed, and the silkworms of the Su family had not yet climbed the mountain, so they took the first step to order. When the silkworm cocoon climbed the mountain for two days, he also came to guard it in person, and the more he looked at the silkworm cocoon in the silkworm room, the more satisfied he became, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.
Two hundred pairs of palace silkworms appeared in this batch of silkworm cocoons, and Wang Lung smiled and took his men to pick the cocoons himself. On the same day, the double palace cocoon was taken away, for fear that someone would come to rob it.
The news of the Shuanggong silkworm was spread, and many people in the town were envious, regretful, and jealous, envious of Wang Long's quick start, and regretted that it was not their own family that made money. There are also jealous, jealous that the Su family raised a double palace silkworm.
Silkworm growers know that most silkworms don't like to spin silk cooperatively. Even if they are put together, one of the silkworms will crawl somewhere else.
There are very few people who raise Shuanggong silkworms, and they can not be raised by ordinary farmers. Some silkworm breeders came to Dongquan Village to inquire about the method of raising silkworms in Shuanggong.
The people in the same village intentionally or unintentionally wooed to curry favor with Su Zhang and Su Li, and wanted to ask how to raise silkworms.
It is not only necessary to learn the method of raising double palace silkworms, but also to learn the method of raising fat silkworms. The Su family not only raised Shuanggong silkworms, but also shortened the time for raising silkworms by five days.
This made Su Li and Su Zhang show off in the village, and when they saw people, they raised their heads and stood tall, and they were even happier than Su Shanzhongju.
