"Dad, come and see, is this a silkworm seed hatching? I don't think the black dot is moving!"

Qi Zhuang squinted his eyes and looked at it for a long time: "I also feel like I'm moving!"

Liu clapped his hands: "You watch first, I'll go get mulberry leaves!"

"Hurry!"

Liu walked out quickly, took the mulberry leaves that had been prepared in the morning, suddenly remembered Qi Lele's advice, turned around and ran into the house to get scissors, and when he came back, he saw Qi Zhuang grabbing a mulberry leaf to throw it on the cocoon, and hurriedly stopped him: "You can't throw it in like this!"

"Huh?"

Liu walked over, picked up the mulberry leaves, and cut them into long strips in three or two: "Siya said last time, this newly hatched silkworm is too small, cut the mulberry leaves and feed them finely, so that they can eat them, and save the waste of mulberry leaves."

"I thought it was a big deal! There are so many mulberry trees in our house, are you afraid that we won't have enough to eat?"

Liu said while cutting mulberry leaves, "That's not the case, who knows how many mulberry leaves will be used in the future? We'll feed us as we want!"

"Okay, okay, listen to you, I'll go get some scissors too."

The two stayed in the silkworm room for a long time before going out, and Liu said, "I'll go find Siya tomorrow and ask again."

"Don't keep bothering her, let's try it first, if it doesn't work, it's not easy for her to be in the Xie family."

Liu thought for a while: "Yes, we don't expect to make money this year, let's try it ourselves."

"That's it."

On the other hand, Chen also found that some ant silkworms hatched.

Zhao's face was happy: "Mother! This method taught by Siya is really good, it's only been built for three days, right? Silkworms will come out today."

Chen Shi said angrily: "Siya clearly said that the cover can be uncovered in two days, what kind of pig brain do you have, you can't remember this little thing, and you still have a face?"

Zhao shrunk his neck and didn't dare to say anything.

"What are you doing in a daze, go and bring the mulberry leaves!"

"Oooh! I'll go!"

"I've never seen anything so stupid! I was so blind that I summoned such a man to the door!"

Zhao snorted, suppressed the sourness in his heart, and trotted out to get mulberry leaves, just in time to meet Qi Xiaojin and Qi Xiaoyin, who had just come back from the field.

"What's wrong? Panicked."

"The silkworm seed hatched, and my mother asked me to get mulberry leaves."

Qi Xiaoyin looked at her expression: "Was scolded by my mother?"

Zhao pursed his lips and said nothing.

Qi Xiaoyin sighed and persuaded softly, "Mother has been in a bad mood recently, you bear with it."

Zhao lowered his head: "I know, I'm going to get mulberry leaves."

Qi Xiaojin said, "I'll get it, you go cook rice."

Qi Xiaoyin said: "It's okay, my mother can only listen to you now, you help me persuade my mother, even if I am not happy in my heart, don't always be angry with my daughter-in-law alone."

Hearing this, Zhao's eyes instantly turned red, and she walked quickly to the kitchen with her head down, not wanting people to see her crying.

Chen waited for a long time without waiting for anyone to come, and was about to go out to scold a few words, but when he saw Qi Xiaojin push the door in, his anger suddenly stopped: "Are you back?"

Qi Xiaojin nodded, stretched out the basket filled with mulberry leaves to Chen, and Chen took a pair of scissors and began to cut mulberry leaves.

Qi Xiaojin didn't leave, standing beside Chen, and gently put the cut mulberry leaf strips around the wriggling ant silkworms.

"Mother, my brother and sister are honest, you take care of it more, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry."

Chen's gesture paused: "She sued you?"

"No, I guessed when I came back and saw her stumbling."

"If you don't use something, you can't do a little thing!"

"Mother!" Qi Xiaojin said, "There are fewer and fewer people in our family, don't drive people out anymore."

These words were so poignant that Chen's tears flowed down instantly, and she trembled her lips and said, "In your eyes, I drove people out?"

"I didn't mean that, the third child wanted to leave by herself, and as for Wang Rongrong, she also suffered it herself, which has nothing to do with her mother."

"I want to say that with so many things happening at home, none of us are upset, but everyone holds back and doesn't say anything." Qi Xiaojin paused before continuing: "The second brother said that the younger sister has not slept well for a long time because she has not conceived a child, if the mother pours all the anger in her heart on the younger brother and sister alone, how long can she endure it?"

"If you can't bear it, get out of the way! Ladies are not uncommon! How dare a hen that doesn't lay eggs have a temper?" The more Chen thought about it, the more angry he became, and pointed at Qi Xiaojin and scolded: "You are all old mothers who have grown up with a handful of and urine, and now your wings are hard, and you are all starting to look down on me as a mother!"

"If your daughter-in-law hasn't slept well for a few days, you know that you are distressed, my mother can't sleep all night, and I haven't seen you ask, what did my wife do, she gave birth to such things!"

Qi Xiaojin looked at Chen quietly, his eyes were full of indescribable fatigue and disappointment, Chen will always be like this, he never listens to other people's advice, he never cares about other people's thoughts, and it is always someone else who does something wrong!

After a while, Qi Xiaojin turned around and walked out of the silkworm house and walked out of the courtyard.

After Chen scolded Qi Xiaojin, she also covered her face and cried, she knew what Qi Xiaojin meant, and she also knew that her words were hurtful, but she couldn't help it!

She has been strong all her life, and now she is asked to bow her head, how can she be low?

In the kitchen, Zhao was sobbing silently with tears, Qi Xiaoyin's persuasion for a long time was ineffective, and he was also tired and panicked, how did this family become like this?

Qi Da sat in the courtyard, listening to the cries coming from both sides, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Raise your hand."

Su Yi stiffened and stretched out his hand.

Xie Zi'an put two fingers together, and after a while, he said, "It's almost time to rest for another night."

Su Yi's tense body loosened, and he subconsciously raised his eyes to look at Xie Zi'an.

Xie Zi'an turned around and walked to the silkworm room: "Don't you still want to feed silkworms?"

"It's coming!" Qi Lele instructed Su Yi, "You go back to the room to rest for a while, and then I'll go get food after I finish feeding the ants and silkworms."

"Yes!"

However, after half a day's work, some ant silkworms hatched out and were humming and gnawing on mulberry leaves, and those ant silkworms that hatched earlier had already eaten almost the mulberry leaves they had fed before.

Xie Zi'an was rarely so surprised: "This little thing is so edible?"

Qi Lele smiled, "You just know? If you don't have a big appetite, why do you need to feed four meals a day?"

Xie Zi'an said, "I have to pick some mulberry leaves tomorrow."

"It's to pick more."

When the two of them moved the ants and silkworms to a clean bamboo sieve covered with mulberry leaves, and then cleaned up the silkworm sand and mulberry leaf residues, it was already sunset, Qi Lele hurriedly washed his hands and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

In the evening, there were only three people in the family to eat, and one of them was still sick, Qi Lele thought about it, and finally decided to steam some nests and stir-fry two side dishes to eat.

Scoop out some cornmeal, add some sugar to it, stir well, and then pour hot water into it, stirring as you pour, until the cornmeal in the basin is large granules, and there is no powder.

When the cornmeal is not so hot, then knead the dough into a hollow nest shape and put it in the steaming drawer to steam.

Wash the mushrooms picked back during the day, cut a few slices of bacon, and stir-fry a plate.

rummaging in the kitchen, Qi Lele found some meat and vegetarian dishes, and cut them into cubes for later use. Wait until the oil pan is hot, add ginger and garlic and stir-fry, pour in the diced meat and stir-fry, and after a while, add side dishes such as diced shiitake mushrooms and diced radish, and finally add a large spoon of meat sauce, and a plate of side dishes is out of the pot.

Xie Zi'an looked at the simple three plates on the table, and smiled: "Make me something to eat?"
