"What did my mother tell you?"

Qi Lele paused and repeated Su Yaxian's last words.

"What?"

"I ......"

Qi Lele took a deep breath and said, "I just think, how can my mother be so good! How can there be such a good mother in the world! How lucky I was to meet her!"

Since knowing that Xie Zi'an is not the biological son of the Xie family, to be honest, Qi Lele's mentality has changed slightly, after all, people's hearts are flesh and blood, how can anyone really be better for an adopted son than for a parent?

In the face of their trust, Qi Lele thinks more about trying to give back and be worthy of this trust.

When he first learned that the whole family only left them as husband and wife, Qi Lele didn't have too many thoughts in his heart.

But she didn't expect Su Yaxian to deliberately pull her aside and say such a thing because she was afraid that she would think too much.

At this moment, Qi Lele felt that she was really too weak, and even looked down on the broad and loving mind of Xie Dai and his wife because of her narrow-mindedness.

"Isn't Madame's greatest good fortune to marry me?"

Why is this man so thick-skinned!

Seeing Xie Zi'an bullying and pressing over, Qi Lele hurriedly raised his hand: "Yes, yes, yes! It's the luckiest thing for me to marry my husband!"

Xie Zi'an gently pinched her chin: "It's also my luck to marry a lady."

Qi Lele was slightly stunned, the corners of his lips moved, and he wanted to say something more, but he didn't know where to start.

Xie Zi'an gently stroked her lips with his thumb and said, "Don't you have to pick mulberry leaves tomorrow morning?" Rest early."

At this mention, Qi Lele remembered: "Then you remember to call me earlier, and I will make some food for them to take on the road."

"What to eat?"

Qi Lele said: "It's a kind of pasta, but it's very easy to carry, and when you want to eat it, you can eat it directly or cook it."

"Okay."

Early the next morning, when Qi Lele was woken up, it was just dawn, she rubbed her eyes and got up immediately.

Before going out, I went to the silkworm room to uncover the black cloth and looked, almost all the silkworm seeds appeared black spots, and when I got closer, the black spots were close to purple and black, and I thought that the silkworm baby should be able to hatch soon.

The rain finally stopped after several days, and the ground was still slippery, and Qi Lele stepped on the mud with one shallow foot, and he really missed the concrete floor in his heart.

In fact, the production of cement is not difficult, and the raw materials are very simple, as long as you try to find the right proportion, you can do it, but Qi Lele does not plan to hand over the cement recipe, because it is not as good as all kinds of food and daily necessities, and its harm to the body of the manufacturer and the pollution to the environment should not be underestimated.

Compared with the finished product, Qi Lele is more willing to hand over knowledge and let the people who belong to this era invent and create products suitable for this era.

When Qi Lele almost slipped into the ridge for the third time, Xie Zi'an couldn't help but ask, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking about what I'm going to make later."

Xie Zi'an pulled the person to his side and led her slowly forward: "Why are you so troublesome?"

"It's not very bothersome, it's just trying to add those spices and steps."

"Figured it out?"

Qi Lele nodded: "It's all thought about!"

"Then look at the road carefully, if you fall, you won't be able to do anything."

Qi Lele knew that he was at a loss, so he obediently responded, and walked very carefully step by step.

When he walked to the mulberry forest, Qi Lele's soles and surroundings were already covered with a thick layer of yellow mud.

Xie Zi'an casually pulled a mulberry branch and was about to reach out to pick the leaves.

"Wait! Pluck only the young leaves at the top, and don't pluck the superfluous ones yet."

"Just the top one?"

Qi Lele nodded: "Pick the young leaves at the top first and feed them to the silkworm babies, and then pick the bottom ones when they are older."

"Okay."

The two didn't stay long, only took off the small half of the frame and put it away, and on the way back, they touched it

to the rest of the village.

"Siya, you are also here to pick mulberry leaves? Is the silkworm seed hatching?"

Qi Lele smiled: "Not yet, I'll pick some young leaves first, wash them and dry them for later use."

"Hey, there's no movement in my house yet! Sorrow for the individual."

"Auntie, don't worry, it will hatch sooner or later."

Another person couldn't help but ask, "Do you have to wash this mulberry leaf and dry it?" It's been raining for so many days, can't you just dry it?"

There is no environmental pollution here, the rainwater is clean, but you really don't have to be so careful.

Qi Lele smiled, "I haven't turned a corner for a while, thanks to my aunt for reminding me."

"Where! Or are you careful, like we don't know that this mulberry leaf still needs to be washed and dried."

"I only found out about it from my father."

"So Master Xie said it? Then let's wash and dry."

"Yes, yes, yes! Wash and dry!" After the aunt finished speaking, she smiled flatteringly at Qi Lele: "Siya, did Master Xie say anything else? Can you say no to my aunt?"

Qi Lele thought for a while and said, "There is nothing left, that is, the mulberry leaves should be clean, and after the silkworm seeds hatch, we must plan the feces diligently and replace the wilted leaves in time, these people sent by the county master to teach us to raise silkworms have also said."

The two laughed, "It's been a long time, I can't remember!"

"If that aunt doesn't remember, come and ask me again."

"That's a good feeling!"

Xie Zi'an stayed by the side, quietly watching Qi Lele laughing with others, with a gentle smile in his eyes.

I don't know when this ordinary life has become flavorful in his opinion.

The only bad thing is the mud that can't be shaken off under your feet.

When he was separated from those people, Xie Zi'an asked, "I wonder if Madame has a good way to prevent mud?"

Qi Lele nodded decisively: "Yes!"

"I want to hear about it!"

"Leather boots? Or rain boots made of natural rubber?"

Xie Zi'an said: "I have heard of leather boots, but what is natural rubber?"

"Natural rubber is produced from a tall tree called the rubber tree, as long as you cut a hole in the bark with a knife, it will automatically flow out a milky white liquid, which looks like milk, but you can't eat it, that liquid is rubber, and after a little treatment, you can make all kinds of things, including waterproof rain boots."

After Qi Lele finished speaking, he added, "As far as I know, this kind of tree usually grows luxuriantly on the coast, on islands, and in places where spring is like spring all year round, so it is not very common."

After Xie Zi'an heard this, he said, "I seem to have seen this tree in the book, wait for me to find it."

Qi Lele looked at the sky silently, she, the father-in-law, was idle and unscrupulous every day, causing her to always forget how extensive his reading and knowledge were, and she was slapped in the face if she was not careful.

"I think it's more practical for us to think about leather boots."

Xie Zi was silent for a moment before he said, "Leather boots are only worn by soldiers in the army when they are fighting."

Hearing this, Qi Lele suddenly remembered that leather boots seemed to have been despised and disliked for a long period of time, wouldn't it be the same here?

"Men discriminate against those who wear leather boots?"

"It's not discrimination, it's just that I don't think it's appropriate."

"But leather boots are really practical! In that world, everybody wears it."

"What about the rubber rain boots?"

"There are not many types of shoes made of rubber, and there are very few people who wear them." "And when you actually see the rain boots, you won't want to wear them, because most of them are ugly!"

Xie Zi'an was silent.

Qi Lele turned his head to look at him, "You really don't want to wear leather boots that much?"

"I don't really want to wear it."

Qi Lele smiled: "Then it's better to wear clogs, you don't dislike clogs, right?"

Xie Zi'an didn't respond, what did he think of that look

It's not like it's not disgusting.

Qi Lele was a little speechless: "Xianggong, you can't think about both good-looking and practical, you can't have both fish and bear's paws!"

"And what if I want to?"

"Then think about it!"
