In the early morning, the weather is refreshing, and the steaming water vapor rises from the hot spring pool, thick and white, and being in it is like walking on the clouds.

Hidden in the water vapor, a man and a woman can be vaguely seen cuddling each other. In the early morning, soaking in the hot spring will be full of energy all day long.

In the water vapor, a voice came: "Qingqing, do you really not want to take wedding photos?"

"No, I'm allergic to photography, I'm getting halo."

"The face is healed, why are you dizzy?"

"It's a mental illness. It's been ten years... Anyway, I don't shoot... I feel dizzy when I look at the camera..."

As the sun rose higher and higher, the temperature gradually rose, and the water vapor on the hot spring pool gradually became thinner.

"If you don't take pictures, then don't take them," Yang Ming nodded, "It's the same without wedding photos..."

"I didn't expect that you are a big man, and you are quite sentimental. How about it, isn't Mrs. Liu making Hanfu for us? If Mrs. Liu's craftsmanship is not bad, how about we take a picture wearing Hanfu?" Wei Qingqing made made a concession.

"Success!" Yang Ming nodded repeatedly.

"The silkworm is covered by Bao'er, but what about the loom? Let me tell you! I can neither spin nor weave..."

"Cut! I'm counting on you, a lazy woman. I will have to sleep in the open without clothes in the future? I bought a set of weaving machines last night. It's fully automatic. Just put silkworm cocoons on it, and the silk will come out." Yang Ming said As she spoke, her hands became dishonest and sneaked up on Wei Qingqing's thigh.

In other words, sericulture and weaving can be regarded as agricultural sidelines.

"I'm lazy, you don't touch me..." Wei Qingqing froze Yang Ming's bad hand, pulled a face, moved it to the side, and pouted loudly.

"You lazy woman, why not just be lazy and lose your temper? You don't know who is the head of the family?" Yang Ming jumped towards her with a smile on his face, and started playing with her in the pool.

After laughing for a while, the two lay on the bottom of the pool, the water just reached their necks.

"Today is Seventeen, where is the fair? Let's go to the fair..." Wei Qingqing's little face was flushed red from the hot spring water.

"Niujiashan, Lijiazhuang, Hujiabao. Tomorrow is Saturday. There will be an event in Majiagou. Maybe Fangfang and Zhang Yang will also come. Let's go tomorrow and see if we can meet Uncle Niu. That's right..."

"As soon as you mentioned pigeons, I remembered, what happened to the meat pigeons we raised? Get a pair out and let me see..." Wei Qingqing said.

"Okay..." Yang Ming immediately took out a pair of hybrid meat pigeons from the farm space. This pair of meat pigeons is the fourth brood of the second generation. They are already capable of hatching young pigeons. They are extremely fat and one foot long. The shoulders are half a foot wide, the legs are thick, the head is huge, the tail is upturned, and the variegated feathers are shining. Their crops are especially big, and they walk tremblingly, just like the waves of a calm lake. sparkling water waves.

As soon as the two meat pigeons came out, the male began to grunt, with a deep and clear voice, and the boss with the big crop, circled around the female. The male grunted like this, his feathers fluffed up. Going up is even bigger.

"Is this a pigeon or a chicken?" Wei Qingqing was dumbfounded.

"If you're talking about little stupid chickens, they'll grow this big, but if you're talking about broilers, this pair of meat pigeons will be far behind." Yang Ming said, and took out four and a half big pigs, and scattered them on the edge of the pool. "I told Uncle Huang yesterday that our pigs are all scattered in the mountains. Today we will really scatter them in the mountains. These are second-generation pigs. I don't know if they grow fast, but the meat must be of good quality."

The four and a half big pigs had fun as soon as they came out, got into the flowers and grass, and gnawed.

"Oh, they're eating my flowers. Hurry up, drive them out." Wei Qingqing quit immediately, anxiously pinched Yang Ming's arm, and made Yang Ming grin.

In the end, it was Xiao Hei and Xiao Hua who were the best. The two puppies, seeing their owner in a hurry, immediately rushed out and bit the buttocks of the four and a half big pigs. Of course, these two puppies were not real. Bite, just to scare them, three and two times, drove the four and a half big pigs to the corner, let the four and a half big pigs confront them with a little nervousness.

"Okay! My little black flower will work..." Seeing the two puppies watching the pigs, Wei Qingqing immediately applauded and cheered when she saw the two puppies watching the pigs, and gave Yang Ming a provocative glance. It means that you are not as good as Xiao Hei Xiao Hua.

Yang Ming came out of the hot spring pool and drove the four half-big pigs out of the small valley, letting them go outside to find food by themselves.

"Is this good? Let them run all over the mountain, will they go to the hot springs to shit and pee?" Seeing the piglets being driven out of the valley, Wei Qingqing was a little worried again.

"Probably not?" Yang Ming was also a little uncertain.

Wei Qingqing pursed her mouth and acted coquettishly: "What do you mean you should not? What I want is that you must not! Otherwise..." Thinking about the hot spring pool where I was in, the water in the pool was actually soaked in pig feces. Urinating, how can you relax?

"Okay, okay, let's surround the spring with cement and make it into a pool?" Yang Ming said.

"Why are you still standing there? Hurry up?" Wei Qingqing said anxiously.

"Cheng Chengcheng, I'll go right away. By the way, do you know the contact number of the engineering team?" Yang Ming asked.

"You are so stupid, isn't Uncle Huang still living in the village? Tell him to call his son, we can't use him for nothing this time, we have to give him some construction fees no matter what." Wei Qingqing said.

Yang Ming hurriedly went to Uncle Huang and asked him to contact his son's engineering team.

The old man went out in person, and the fat foreman came very quickly. Although they were packing some work, building a pool was not a big project. With three people, it could basically be done.

After a whole day of hard work, everything was finally done, and it was done more strictly. The pool was half a meter high, and the top was completely sealed with cement, leaving only a circular vent with a diameter of one meter, which was covered with an iron cover. , There are two small palm-sized holes on the iron cover, which can release the pressure in the pool at ordinary times. If the pressure in the pool is too high, the water vapor inside will lift the iron cover to ventilate by itself, and the water temperature will also increase slightly. After a while, it was close to boiling water, but the water temperature in the hot spring pool did not change much. After all, the pipeline was hundreds of meters long, so it would not be too obvious if the temperature increased.

"Bring a steamer, you can steam steamed buns directly." Wei Qingqing looked at the air vent and sighed.

"What you said makes sense. What we want to steam in the future can be steamed here directly. How much firewood will it save?..." Yang Ming's eyes lit up.

"Praise me, I came up with this..." Wei Qingqing said triumphantly.

"Praise fart, lazy woman, why don't you go home quickly and cook for the head of the family? Otherwise, the family law will serve you..."

"Hate it, who cares about you..."

The small mountain village in the evening is shrouded in twilight, with smoke curling up from the kitchen and the sound of dogs barking.

"Is it possible to pick our persimmons?" Yang Ming stood under his persimmon tree, talking to Wei Qingqing, who was cooking in the house.

"It's still green..." Wei Qingqing said while pulling the bellows.

"I heard that this thing needs to be covered. Now take it off and cover it for ten days and half a month, and it will turn red."

"Then pick it, where are the chestnuts? But there are quite a few cracked." Wei Qingqing said: "By the way, how much did you give the engineering team?"

"Five thousand, our pond is not too small, and the materials alone will cost two to three thousand..." Yang Ming said, and walked under the chestnut tree, carefully looking for those cracked chestnuts. It doesn't matter, the tree is full More than half of the big chestnuts were cracked, so Yang Ming just picked a few.

"I even took care of a lunch, don't tell me, these small workers really eat a lot, especially Mr. Huang..." Wei Qingqing said.

"It's not that they eat a lot, but that our food is delicious. Have you seen how they've grown?" Yang Ming opened up the chestnuts and got the chestnuts out, "Let's make sugar fried rice tonight." Chestnuts..." There were only a few chestnuts, and they weren't worth frying, so Yang Ming went to the tree to pick a few more, and he didn't stop until they weighed 4 or 5 catties.

"I don't have that skill, I can only cook..." Wei Qingqing said.

"Cook it, let's cook it, who asked us to have a stupid wife..." Yang Ming looked regretful and helpless.

"I find that you are becoming more and more annoying..." Wei Qingqing gave Yang Ming a big roll of eyes.

"Brother Yang, Sister Qingqing, what are you doing for dinner?" A pleasant voice came, and Liu Nannan's figure appeared at the gate.

"We want to make sugar-fried chestnuts, but your sister Qingqing can't..." Yang Ming said, "How is it going in the greenhouse?"

"It's not bad, they are all pretty good. Don't you guys make fried chestnuts with sugar? Let me make them for you. My aunt's house also has fried chestnuts..." Liu Nannan said.

"Okay! But, it doesn't count as overtime pay..." Wei Qingqing liked this pretty girl better, and teased after hearing this.

"Stingy... the exploiting class..." Liu Nannan rolled Wei Qingqing's eyes, found a basin from the house, began to wash the chestnuts, and then took a knife to cut a small hole in the chestnut's buttocks.

"Have you not seen the little girl for a day? I don't know where she is?" Yang Ming felt that something was missing around him?After thinking about it carefully, I realized that Little Bao'er was missing.

"She went to school... Isn't that right? It's time for her to leave school long ago. She should come to our house to watch TV?" Wei Qingqing said, feeling a little uneasy in her heart. Don't let her grandma take her away?
"When school is over in the afternoon, I went to her grandma's house." Liu Nannan interrupted while washing chestnuts.

"Oh! This little guy seemed to say yesterday that he wanted to get some silkworms for us, so he didn't really go today..." Yang Ming was stunned.

"Maybe, you go pick her up..." Wei Qingqing said.

"I'm going now..." In the evening, the little guy went out by himself. If his grandma took it, he could still come back. If he ran into a wild beast or something, it would be broken.

As soon as I reached the entrance of the village, I saw a little girl with a schoolbag on her back, bouncing towards this side along the small mountain path, followed by two stumbling puppies at her feet.

"Father..." The little girl has sharp eyes and recognized Yang Ming from a long distance away. She immediately shouted happily, and then ran over quickly. The two puppies also quickened their pace. In a hurry, I fell two somersaults.

"Look at you running sweaty, be careful of catching a cold..." Yang Ming bent down and picked up the little guy, and the puppy also jumped on him. He stood up, hugging Yang Ming's trouser legs and screaming.

"Hee hee, Dad, grandma gave me 10 silkworm babies, and a schoolbag of mulberry leaves..." The little girl proudly asked for credit.

"Hmph, how beautiful are you? When you go out at night, you don't know how to let an adult accompany you. Next time, spanking..."

"When I went to grandma's house, it was still daylight..." the little girl said unconvinced.

"All right, all right, you're right, tomorrow is Saturday, do you want to go to school?" Yang Ming hugged the little guy and walked home.

"No..." the little girl said.

"Tomorrow, your godmother and I will catch the big fair in Majiagou, will you go?" Yang Ming said.

"Go, of course, why is there so little Bao'er in the market?" the little girl immediately said happily.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, before entering the yard, he smelled a sweet fragrance, which floated out from the house, and Xiao Baoer immediately cheered: "It's sugar-fried chestnuts, it's so good, I like it the most... "The little guy struggled twice, slipped off Yang Ming's body, and ran into the house in a hurry.

"It's really delicious..." Yang Ming sniffed and praised sincerely.

After dinner, the lights in the east room were on. Yang Ming, Wei Qingqing, Xiao Baoer, and Liu Nannan gathered around a big shoe box, watching attentively. Inside the shoe box was a layer of tender mulberry leaves. , Ten baby silkworms were lying on the mulberry leaves, eating big mouthfuls, after two or three bites, they ate a fingernail-sized hole in the mulberry leaves.

Not only the baby silkworms were eating, but everyone’s mouths were not idle, especially the little Bao’er, the oily, red sugar-fried chestnuts. After a few clicks, only the shell was left, the sweet, fragrant and soft meat, It all went into the little guy's stomach, and the little mouth and hands were covered with red syrup.

"It's too fast, these baby silkworms are really edible..." After a long time, Wei Qingqing shook her head and sighed, grabbed a large tea tray on Kang Yan'er, and grabbed a chestnut fried in sugar, gently pinched it, and the hard shell Crack open, revealing the golden flesh inside.

"These baby silkworms are about to grow into adults, and they will be able to spin silk in three or four days. But you don't have mulberry leaves here, so you can't raise them. By the way, you don't want to start with silkworms, do you?" Liu Nannan said.

But the little girl remembered that Yang Ming said yesterday that he would provide the raw materials. Could it be that they wanted to start with silkworm rearing?Then how long will he have to raise them to produce enough silkworms to make a piece of clothing?The little girl suddenly felt that what she said about the clothing company last night was extremely unreliable.

"Of course, silkworms started from raising silkworms?" Yang Ming smiled and nodded.

"Ah???..." Miss Liu Nannan felt that Yang Ming was just a layman who didn't understand anything.

"Listen to his nonsense. In the textile factory, there are a lot of silk cloth, but the quality is not guaranteed. If you meet someone who doesn't know how to do it, you won't be able to find it if you are deceived by chemical products. Let's get some samples for comparison. It's so confusing..." Wei Qingqing gave Yang Ming a blank look and said.

Of course Wei Qingqing knew that Yang Ming was telling the truth, but she still wanted to round him up.

"So that's what happened? But can we invite someone who knows how to do it? My aunt knows..." The little girl heaved a sigh of relief, but she gave Yang Ming a blank look. This guy's words are unreliable, and she will ignore him from now on. up.

The night was getting dark, and when Liu Nannan and Xiao Baoer returned home, only Yang Ming and Wei Qingqing were left in the room. The two got into bed, Yang Ming stabbed Wei Qingqing, and said, "Oh, what to Fang Fang and the others make a phone call and ask if they are coming, if they want to come, let them come earlier and let's go to the market together."

"I asked a long time ago, they won't come tomorrow..." Wei Qingqing laid her pillow on Yang Ming's chest, and her blue hair like a cloud slid down onto Yang Ming's chest and abdomen like a waterfall.

"If you don't come, don't come, let's take Xiao Baoer tomorrow..." Yang Ming said.

"Hmm! I've been busy all day, and I'm tired. I'm going to sleep with the light on..." Wei Qingqing stared in a daze.

"Hehe, let's go to bed..." Yang Ming pulled the light cord, and the room was pitch black. Yang Ming pulled the quilt, covering both of them.

"Oh, I hate it, I'm tired of talking..."

There was a rustling sound...
