Chapter 13 Silkworm Rearing
After eating, seeing that it was still early, Chen took a sewing basket and planned to go out for a walk.
Wang also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Chen's knife: "You are a person with a body, what are you running out when it's dark?" ”
Qi Lele heard movement in the house and hurriedly ran out: "Mother, I want to go too." ”
Chen smiled: "Come." ”
The difference between the before and after attitude is simply not too obvious.
Qi Xiaoyin saw that Zhao was a little absent-minded, and said with a smile: "You are tired at home for a day, let's go around with my mother." ”
The Zhao family wanted to go out and accompany his man, but in the end, he was gently pushed by Qi Xiaoyin, and then he also followed the Chen family out.
Thanks to the blessing of the Wang family, the Chen family now looks at his silly and simple second daughter-in-law much more pleasing to the eye, although she is not clever enough, but she is diligent and obedient, how worry-free, isn't it?
The Wang family, who was left aside, was so angry that his eyes were red, and Qi Xiaojin said: "Mother is also for your good." ”
"What a good! I'm afraid that my face will go out and gossip on her! ”
Qi Xiaojin said angrily: "Who doesn't know that my mother beat you now?" ”
Wang suddenly retracted.
Not long after the Chen family left, someone came to the house, who came to discuss silkworm raising with Qi Da, and the Wang family avoided the backyard and saw Qi Xiaocai sitting there alone sharpening his knife.
To be honest, the Wang family has always been a little confused about this little uncle, and she is faintly afraid of him, but this does not prevent her from using him.
Giving himself courage, Wang walked over with a small belly: "Third brother." ”
Qi Xiaocai didn't raise his head.
Wang's smile stiffened, and he said, "Third brother, fourth sister, she also has a last resort, you can't blame her." She jumped into the lake and was rescued by Xie Zi'an, a lonely man and a widow pulling and pulling in the water, and it was inevitable that she would have a skin-to-skin relationship. ”
"Few people knew about this before, and the past is over, after all, the fourth sister is still innocent. But who asked Xie Zi'an to come to the door to ask for marriage, and she could only marry the fourth sister! ”
"In the end, it's still the fourth sister's life!"
Qi Xiaocai still didn't pay attention to her, but the action of sharpening the knife under his hand became heavier and heavier.
Wang's heart beat like thunder when he heard it, and he really didn't dare to stay longer, so he almost went back to the room as if he had escaped.
Qi Xiaocai raised his head and glanced coldly at the direction in which Wang had left.
……
Chen took the two of them all the way to the center of the village, where there is a big banyan tree, which is the favorite place for the big guys to go after tea and dinner.
Recently, because of the busy farming, so there are few people coming, but this time is different, there is a big event today, when Chen arrived, there were already many people sitting there in twos and threes under the banyan tree.
Seeing Chen coming over, and seeing Qi Lele who was following her with his head up, everyone was strangely quiet for a moment.
There are those who originally gloated and wanted to make a few jokes, and they also stopped thinking about it.
How long has it been since I saw him? Why is this girl so good-looking again? Longevity! How can other girls live!
It wasn't until someone snorted coldly that everyone came back to their senses.
Someone was straightforward and asked, "Everyone of you, will you go to the assembly the day after tomorrow?" ”
"Go! Of course you have to go! ”
"What are you taking her for? I'm about to get married, stay at home! ”
Chen smiled: "I'm about to marry someone else's family, and I'm still holding her?" ”
Suddenly, someone secretly scolded in their hearts: This bad girl! Just like Siya, when the time comes, when the time comes, a pestle at that assembly, which guy still has the heart to look at other girls? Isn't this a sincere marriage of bad people?
But I can't say this, and to say it is to admit that my daughter is not as good as Siyabei!
Chen was joking with people, swept around, and then walked to his concubine's side.
Although Qi Da is called big, he is actually the second in the family, and there is a brother named Qi Zhuang.
Xu called a good name, Qi Zhuang was raised tall and strong, and the second elder also gave the second child a big name, but Qi Daguang did not grow fat.
The two families separated a few years ago, but there is no other reason, that is, there are too many people in the family to live. The second elder followed the boss, Qi Zhuang's daughter-in-law Liu was not as diligent and capable as Chen's, Qi Zhuang was not as flexible as Qi's brain, even if there was the help of the second elder, their family was not as relaxed as everyone else.
But Qi Da is willing to help the eldest brother's family, and the Liu family is not a small-bellied chicken intestine who loves red eyes, and the relationship between the two families is harmonious.
At this time, the Liu family saw the Chen family coming over, and a smile appeared on his face: "This engagement is different, Siya's complexion looks much better." ”
Chen also smiled: "It can be regarded as saving me a little heart." ”
Liu asked again: "Why didn't Xiaojin's daughter-in-law come?" ”
Chen's smile faded: "She's heavy, so she can rest at home." ”
"That's how it should be." Liu nodded, as if he was just asking, and mentioned something else: "I heard that the second child mentioned to Li Zheng today that he wanted to raise silkworms?" ”
When Liu asked, the people around him pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Chen's words.
Chen nodded: "Yes, his father thinks that since the mulberry trees have been planted, he can raise them if he wants to." ”
"But we haven't all raised that thing, what if we don't?"
Chen said: "It's okay if you don't raise it well, it just takes a little effort." We don't have a good harvest every year. ”
This is reasonable, Liu nodded: "Then we will also talk to Li Zheng, and we will raise it together when the time comes." ”
Chen smiled and responded: "Okay." ”
After getting the right words, Liu also smiled, she is not as smart and capable as this sister-in-law, but she is willing to follow along, and the life of the family has gradually improved in the past few years.
The others were also a little moved when they heard this: "I heard that this silkworm only needs to be fed mulberry leaves, which is trouble-free." ”
"How can it be so convenient? If it were so convenient, how could silk be so expensive? ”
"If it's really so difficult to raise, the county master won't let us all raise it casually!"
"It's not like I haven't seen the big silkworm on the mountain, it's just such a big bug, and it will be pinched to death by accident, but it's not easy to serve!"
Everyone is chattering, it seems that no one can convince anyone, but in fact, more and more people are a little moved, if you just eat some mulberry leaves, it is really not too much trouble, even if it is really bad, it will lose the money of silkworm seeds.
Silkworm seeds shouldn't be too expensive, right?
At this moment, the daughter-in-law of the Li Zheng family spoke: "My father said, this year's silkworm seeds don't cost money!" The county magistrate gave it to us in vain! ”
As soon as these words came out, the pot suddenly exploded, and those people who swayed from side to side immediately had an idea, this silkworm seed doesn't need money, wouldn't it be enough to make some effort?
Although they have never raised silkworms, they have raised other things, and they are just feeding their stomachs and cleaning up feces and urine, which is not a problem at all for them as croppers!
Doesn't the Chen family just want everyone to raise together? When the time comes, it is better to be able to discuss with each other than to be in the dark with her family.
Qi Lele also saw Chen's thoughts, and he was a little surprised.
Li Zheng has actually given Qi Dazhun today, and their family must be able to choose someone to learn to raise silkworms.
At this time, the Chen family did not hide it, but also encouraged everyone to raise it together and explore it together, and it was really a bit far-sighted to stay here.
After all, everyone should understand the truth that strange goods can live, there are more people who raise silkworms, and the price of selling them will definitely be no less cost-effective.
On the way back, Zhao asked stupidly: "Mother, how can you persuade everyone to raise it?" If there are more silkworm breeders, won't there be fewer silkworm seeds distributed to us? You can make a lot less money when you go back! ”
Chen said: "Don't be stupid! In the first year of raising silkworms, do you still expect to make a lot of money? It's nice to be able to feed it! ”
Qi Lele couldn't help but glance at Chen, but he didn't expect her to be so transparent.
Seeing her eyes, Chen said: "The Xie family didn't buy land last year, there are no mulberry trees, and they can't raise silkworms. ”
Qi Lele nodded in response.
Chen said again: "Forget it, you just got married, let's settle down a little bit, let's see what your mother-in-law means first." ”
Qi Lele continued to nod in response.
The three of them walked home in the night.
