The speed of silkworm growth is very fast, and soon, the silkworm plaque changes from one to two, two to four, and finally eight layers are stacked high.

The silkworm plaque was placed in the small hall outside Zhou Xiaoyun's room, and Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't help but see it when he came out and went in.

The silkworm baby was quite cute when he was a child, and when he grew up, his wriggling body was a little terrifying, and Zhou Xiaoyun was most afraid of long mollusks in his life.

Snakes, earthworms, loaches, caterpillars, all stay away.

The silkworm babies are better, but they don't like it, and every time they help scatter mulberry leaves, Zhou Xiaoyun is hard-headed.

When the silkworm babies were about to spin silk and form cocoons, the family was busy making wheat stalks again.

It's easy to learn, but it's just to pull some wheat straw from the haystack at home and tie it into a bunch with a white plastic rope, and put it on the silkworm plaque, and the silkworm babies will automatically climb up and form cocoons on it. The beautiful name is "up the mountain".

Zhao Yuzhen couldn't be busy alone, and Zhou Guoqiang also stayed at home and didn't go out to work together. Seeing that the silkworm babies are about to enter the dormant period, they have to move faster.

Zhou Xiaoyun is naturally a good helper, and even Dabao and Xiaobao are also on the side to help.

When the silkworm babies have gone up to the "mountain", the family is a little relaxed.

After a few days, the wheat stalks were covered with white and thick cocoons. The harvest like a crop field is gratifying, and Zhao Yuzhen and Zhou Guoqiang's faces are beaming when picking silkworm cocoons.

The whole family went into battle together, put the cocoons they picked into the basket and then poured them into the mouth to sell.

A few large pockets full of them are loaded on a tricycle and sold at the cocoon station where the cocoons are collected, which is really a lot of income!

Of course, there are also door-to-door purchases, and the price is slightly lower than that of the silkworm cocoon station. Zhou Guoqiang relied on the tricycle to run more than ten miles, and after doing the math, he sold it for more than a dozen yuan.

After selling the cocoons, there are still some bad cocoons left at home that cannot be sold, so simply peel off the black silkworm pupae and cook them to eat, which is a rare and delicious meal!

Zhou Guoqiang loves to eat this the most, and specially prepared a bottle of two pots to eat and drink. Dabao and Xiaobao also ate fragrantly, and Zhou Xiaoyun didn't have any appetite when he saw this food, so he didn't eat a bite.

The mulberry leaves are basically exhausted, and then the mulberry tree bears small green fruits, and the bunches are delicate and lovely, and when the color turns purple-red, it is ripe, and it tastes very good when you take a bite of sweet and sour.

This fruit is mulberry, and rural people love to call this mulberry date.

At this time, the children love to go to the mulberry field to find mulberry dates to eat, and often pick and eat them before they are ripe, and their sour teeth are about to fall out.

When the mulberry dates are ripe, the taste is different, very sweet and delicious, no less than any fruit.

The best thing is that every family has mulberry trees, and there are mulberry dates everywhere, so you can pick as many as you want.

Dabao began to eat mulberry dates when they were not ripe, and ate them until they turned red, and all his mouth and teeth were red. Xiaobao and Dabao are almost the same, the brothers and Zhou Zhihai next door go out every day together, and they come back when they are satisfied.

When the mulberry dates are completely ripe, they will automatically fall down if they are not picked by anyone, and it is a pity that they are all over the ground.

Zhou Xiaoyun mobilized Dabao and Xiaobao to help her pick up mulberry dates together, and when she filled the basket, she sold it to those who came to collect mulberry dates. Vendors who collect mulberry dates come to their village at a fixed time every day.

The price is not high, and a basket of mulberry dates is only a few cents.

However, this amount of money is not a small amount for the child.

Use your leisure time to pick up such a basket and a half basket and sell such a triangle and five corners, and then use the money from the sale to buy some snacks or your favorite gadgets!

Therefore, at this time, many children are carrying baskets around, picking mulberry trees, picking up the ones on the ground, and filling the basket in half an hour at most.

It's a pity that the good times are too short, but it takes about ten days, and the mulberry dates are completely ripe and fall to the ground without waiting for anyone to pick them, and they begin to rot.

Zhou Xiaoyun counted the few dollars in his pocket, what a windfall!

She didn't forget that there was a lot of credit for Dabao and Xiaobao, and she specially bought some snacks for Dabao and Xiaobao to eat, and the brothers were very happy to eat. No one thought of asking Zhou Xiaoyun to share some money.

Zhou Xiaoyun already has money on her, watercolor pens and crayons don't cost a total of three yuan, and she usually uses some of the spare money of Didi Lala, she still has eight or nine yuan left on her, and this time there is an entry for selling mulberry dates, and her waist bag is bulging again.

Zhou Xiaoyun specially bought a piggy bank in the bazaar, the fat one was a fat pig, and there was a coin slot on it made of white plaster, and it would be troublesome to take it out after stuffing the money into it. You can only take out the money if you break the piggy bank.

Zhou Xiaoyun threw away the money on his body, and left one or two yuan for pocket use.

Zhao Yuzhen gave very little pocket money, unless she bought a notebook and a pencil eraser or something like that.

Zhou Xiaoyun knows Zhao Yuzhen's nature of saving very well, and she rarely asks for money except for buying stationery, but fortunately she is not greedy, and she can hold back if she eats less snacks.

Dabao will not become, and he will ask his mother for money all day long. Today's pen is gone, tomorrow you have to buy a ruler, the day after tomorrow you have to buy an eraser, every day the reason for asking for money is different, the reason is very good. Sometimes I really want to buy it, and sometimes I use it to fill that gluttonous mouth.

Zhao Yuzhen knew that Dabao's little Jiujiu couldn't do anything, so she couldn't beat him and scold him every day for two triangles of money!

Fortunately, Dabao is also more acquainted, and the number of requests is not much within the scope of Zhao Yuzhen's acceptance. Just kidding, if you want more, you will beg for a beating, and this Dabao is very clear.

Xiaobao and Erya are at home all day long, and Zhao Yuzhen personally buys everything, and the chance of using money is equivalent to zero.

Zhou Xiaoyun has a "small treasury" by himself, and he doesn't open his mouth much.

Sometimes Zhao Yuzhen saw that Dabao chased after him every day to ask for money, but Zhou Xiaoyun, who was also a student, didn't want to go back for ten days or eight days, and she also wondered in her heart. took the initiative to ask Zhou Xiaoyun: "Big girl, have you run out of pencils?" ”

Zhou Xiaoyun replied: "There is still one section, which can be used for two more days." ”

Zhao Yuzhen couldn't help but glance at Dabao, Dabao's pencil is basically one every two days, and he uses a pencil as if he is eating.

Zhao Yuzhen took the initiative to give Zhou Xiaoyun five cents pocket money, which made Dabao shout "unfair".

was scolded by Zhao Yuzhen: "You don't want money every day, how can you look like your sister." If you don't need money for a week, I'll give it to you. ”

Dabao was immediately silenced.
