Dad's Pastoral Life

Chapter 288 Picking Mulberry Leaves

Cheng Xinxin doesn't understand adults' affairs, and doesn't care about them.

She didn't know why her father was always smiling these two days.

Only the silkworms in the box are the ones she pays attention to.

Up to now, she has completely memorized the article about silkworms.

"The weather is warm in spring, and silkworm girls emerge from silkworm eggs."

"The little black silkworm girl ate mulberry leaves for a few days, then slept on the silkworm bed, didn't eat or move, took off her black clothes, woke up, woke up, and turned into a yellow girl..."

"The yellow and thin silkworm girl ate mulberry leaves for a few days, then slept on the silkworm bed, didn't eat or move, took off her yellow clothes, woke up, woke up, and turned into a white girl..."

While Cheng Xinxin was reciting like she was singing, she stared at the silkworm box like looking forward to the stars and the moon.

When will the black and small silkworm girl come out?

What does silkworm girl look like?Will it be as cute as yourself?How did it take off its clothes and put on new clothes?

Well, the little girl who likes to change clothes must be very beautiful.she thought so.

My heart is really full of expectations.

When she opened the courier that day, there was a piece of colorful paper inside. Cheng Xinxin asked what was written on it, and Cheng He read it to her.

In the end, because the rhythm of this article was simple, very rhythmic, and catchy like a nursery rhyme, Cheng Xinxin thought it was very pleasant to listen to, and pestered her father to read it to her a few more times.

So, she learned.

Now that you have nothing to do, just read these again.

For her, a day is like a year.

It is spring now, but the average temperature in this area of ​​Nanshan is only ten degrees Celsius, which is not an ideal temperature for silkworms to hatch.

Cheng He hatched her the same way as a child - put all the silkworm eggs in a small box, and then Cheng Xinxin took the small box with him.

He tied a string to the box and let her hang it around her neck, next to the innermost piece of clothing.

The human body temperature is 36 degrees, which is enough to hatch silkworm eggs.It was the same way when he was a child.

When I was a child, I didn't pay much attention to the box, so I only used a small matchbox and put it in my pocket every day.

Cheng Xinxin is now staring at her box every day, very anxious.

When will it be able to hatch!

In their class, there were also two people who were playing with silkworms, one of them had already hatched, and they were fed mulberry leaves every day. The rest of the children were so envious that they went home to ask the adults for silkworm eggs.

For a while, there was a sericulture fever in Taohua Village.

Cheng Xinxin read the article again, and then asked Cheng He again: "Father, when will Miss Silkworm come out?"

Now, she has changed her name to "Silkworm Girl".

Cheng He was in a very good mood, so he said, "Come on, Dad, take a look for you. See if it's coming out."

Generally speaking, if the temperature is enough, a week is enough.

Cheng Xinxin quickly took out the silkworm box, it was still from under the sweater.When it was just taken out, it still carried her body temperature.

She quickly handed it to her father, and then looked forward to it eagerly.

Cheng He opened the box and saw that the black silkworm eggs had turned gray. Obviously, they were coming out in just two days.

He closed the box, handed it back to her, and said, "Honey, Miss Silkworm will be out in a few days. Let's go pick some mulberry leaves and let them have something to eat as soon as they come out, okay?"

Almost out.This is the case with silkworm rearing, you have to eat as soon as you come out, and you have to starve to death if you don’t have anything to eat, so you have to prepare in advance.

"Okay!" Cheng Xin replied happily, while putting the box back again.

Lest it be cold, Miss Silkworm froze to death.

She was very happy to find food for Miss Silkworm.Now the silkworm eggs cling to her every day, as if she was hatching herself, and a relationship has already been established.

Cheng Xinxin quickly went to get her plastic basket, then saw the shovel and plastic spade next to the basket, thought for a while, and asked, "Dad, do you want to take these two?"

Cheng He said with a smile: "Honey, the mulberry leaves grow on the branches, not in the mud, so we don't need to bring a shovel."

Cheng Xinxin nodded, and only brought the basket.

There is a mulberry tree next to the village, which is easy to find without going far.

But just now when she walked out of the gate of the small courtyard, the little girl suddenly walked back.

"Baby, what's the matter?" Cheng He asked from behind.

"I want to wear a hat." Cheng Xin replied without thinking.

Well, you have to dress up nicely when you go out to work.

With the sun out there, be sure to wear a nice sun hat.

Cheng Xinxin put on her favorite pink hat, then ran out and asked, "Dad, do you think I look good?"

Cheng He gave her a thumbs up solemnly and said, "It's so beautiful!"

Cheng Xinxin giggled happily, and walked out holding her father's hand.

On the small road next to the village, there are a few mulberry trees, which are very thick and have grown for many years. When planning and rebuilding, they will naturally not be cut down.

Therefore, they are still thriving now, and in summer, they can still eat mulberries.Cheng He is called Sanguo here.

The current leaves are very tender, and they are new ones. They are very eye-catching, and you can pick them casually.

Cheng Xinxin didn't rely on her father wholeheartedly. As for the very short branches, she could pick them up by herself, and put them in her little basket after picking them off.

When she does these things herself, she feels a sense of accomplishment.

Cheng He picked some young leaves from a slightly higher place.

Cheng Xinxin was suddenly dissatisfied, she raised her head and pointed to the high place and said, "Father, I want to pick the high place too."

Cheng He shook his head with a helpless smile, the child is a big kid!
Before I grow up, I want to pick a high place!
He picked Cheng Xinxin up, put her on his shoulders, let her sit on his neck, and supported her back with one hand behind him, and asked, "Honey, can you pick a high place now? "

"Hahaha...it's fine!" Cheng Xinxin replied happily.

She reached as high as she could and put it in her little basket.

It's really good to sit high, and I feel that the field of vision is so high.Well, I like holding high or something high.

Cheng Xinxin's small basket will soon be full.

It's only hatching in the first stage, and they are very small. These leaves should be almost enough.

Anyway, it’s so close, I’ll pick it after eating, it’s still fresh.

"Okay, baby, shall we go back?" Cheng He asked.

Cheng Xinxin held her basket, and asked with a thoughtful face, "Father, are these enough? Does Miss Silkworm like to eat this?"

Well, she is still afraid that Miss Silkworm is picky eater.

Silkworm is indeed a picky eater, but it only eats mulberry leaves.

However, Cheng He felt comforted that the child could think now.

"Hey, Cheng He, you are here!"

Suddenly a voice came from behind.

People in the village generally don't call him by his surname. Cheng He looked back and saw that it was Lu Wenpeng, a great architect.

Since the Chinese New Year this year, this guy has been very busy. He has handed over the construction work of Peach Blossom Village to his assistant.

Anyway, the major project and the preliminary project are almost done, and the later ones can be copied, and there is no need for him to stay here every day.

Since the beginning of this year, he has been busy with a new project, and he has only been to Peach Blossom Village two or three times.

Now, he came over again. When it was the final stage, he came over to see if there was anything that was not very good, and then he ordered people to modify it.

This is a very responsible designer.

It's just that the beard on his chin seems to be longer.

Cheng He also greeted him: "Designer Lu, are you here today?"

"Well, come and take a look. I have something I want to ask you. I think it's almost finished. Do you want to hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony in your village? If it depends on the date, I will cooperate with you."

This is an architectural designer who knows folk customs well.

It is also a habit of many people to choose a date for opening.

Cheng He just wanted to say, if the ribbon is cut, the ribbon will be cut the day the work is completed.

It is true that some tourism projects have started to open on the Internet, and they also cut ribbons, and they are very lively.Of course, a little grandeur also plays a role in publicity.

Just as he was about to blurt out, it suddenly occurred to him that he still had two contracts in hand.

The first one is the contract authorized by Zheng Xiaoying to use her picture.The contract will not take effect until one month later, because Guo Bei needs to use the pictures first.

It will take almost a month for her to launch a press conference, which is also the case in the last season.If Cheng He releases the picture first, it will be a leak and he will bear serious legal responsibility.

Regardless of this for the time being, anyway, it has nothing to do with the ribbon-cutting of the opening.But the second contract was more than ten days later.

A star reality show team came to Taohua Village in more than ten days to officially start filming their show.

Cheng He thought for a while, and let these two time periods pass, and then cut the ribbon grandly.

Because if he opened it first these days, if there were a lot of people coming, he would send a notice to close the park for renovation after a few days of opening. The reality show also required clearing the venue and filming without interference.

There are too many celebrities, so it is not surprising to have such a request.

But if it has only been open for a few days and the park has to be closed for repairs, it’s not good. It’s a bad start, and others will think that the business can’t go on. It’s better to let the shooting period pass first.

Anyway, it only took a week to shoot.

In fact, it would be beneficial to wait for the star reality show to become a hit, and then have a grand opening ribbon-cutting.

Anyway, it's not bad for the profit of opening a few days in advance.

Cheng He said to Lu Wenpeng: "It may take 20 days to cut the ribbon. When will you finish? Also, I happen to have something to discuss with you."
