Sweet Garden Sands

Chapter 75

The young man laughed, and the others laughed too.

Because they were their own people, Ke Zhongshi and Ke Jiangshi looked at each other and frowned, not intending to make fun of them.

Seeing everyone's merciless teasing and sarcasm, Ke Hanxue smiled disapprovingly. It seems that the relationship between Ke Yushi and the villagers in the village is nothing more than that.

It took Ke Yushi a quarter of an hour to walk more than 100 meters away, and she was already sweating profusely when she reached the back of the team.

"Ke Yushi, have you tasted the pain of little feet?" A man who came with Ke Yushi mocked unceremoniously.

"None of your business!" Ke Yu's eyeballs gouged out the man fiercely.

Seeing that Ke Yu was really angry, the man touched his nose resentfully, and didn't make fun of it again.

This was just a small episode, and it was over with a smile, and no one took it to heart.

Ke Jiangshi took the money from the housekeeper and walked out of the village chief's house with an empty basket. Seeing that Ke Zhongshi and Ke Hanxue were still waiting for him at the gate of the village chief, he hurriedly walked over.

"Sister-in-law, Xue'er, I really sold this load for three hundred Wen!" Ke Jiangshi couldn't help but said to the two of them, the six hundred Wen was a lot of money for her family.

"That's good," Ke Zhong said with a smile: "In this way, the food for the next month will be settled."

"That's not it!" The pressure in Ke Jiangshi's heart was finally relieved.

"By the way, sister-in-law, how much did you sell your cocoons for?" Ke Jiangshi asked again.

"My cocoon only sold for 220 Wen." Ke Zhong smiled indifferently, and was not unhappy because of the lack of money.

"It's only 200 or so?" Ke Jiangshi was stunned, and then thought that there were not many mulberry gardens in Dafang, and the mulberry leaves were not enough to raise silkworms. It is normal to have few cocoons and thin silk knots, but it's a pity that he was too busy. It took so long to earn such a little money.

"go home."

Ke Zhongshi said, and Ke Jiangshi and Ke Hanxue followed.

After weighing the silkworm cocoons just now, knowing that her own silkworm cocoons can only be sold for 220 yuan, Ke Hanxue is a little disappointed. The money for selling silkworm cocoons in this month is enough to buy ten catties of rice. This is really Ke Hanxue never thought of.

Ke Hanxue thought that after working so hard for a month, she could earn at least four or five hundred Wen, but she didn't expect it to be so little.

Thinking about going to the mulberry garden to pick mulberry leaves early in the morning, and her mother going to water the mulberry garden in the afternoon, and busy with the silkworm house during the day, Ke Hanxue was depressed. Their hard work was not worth it ah!
No, this silkworm can no longer be raised!

Ke Hanxue made a decisive decision.

"What? You don't raise silkworms anymore?! If you don't raise silkworms, what will you do with these two silkworm houses? What about the two-acre mulberry garden? The silkworm house and mulberry garden are the most valuable at home. What else can you do if you don't raise silkworms? ?”

When Ke Hanxue told her family about her thoughts during dinner, she was immediately strongly opposed by Ke Mengshi.

"Grandma, the silkworm farms and mulberry gardens are valuable to some people, but they are really worthless to us. Think about it, we only earn more than 200 Wen for a month after working so hard, which is not enough to buy them." If we really rely on silkworm rearing for a few days of food, our whole family will probably starve to death."

Ke Hanxue paused, and then said: "Besides, we don't raise silkworms, and it doesn't mean that we will throw away the silkworm house and mulberry garden. I just want to lend the silkworm house and mulberry garden to my third aunt so that she can go Yang, I think Third Aunt's skill in raising silkworms is quite good, maybe the silkworm house and mulberry garden will become more valuable with her?"

Ke Mengshi heard that Ke Hanxue said that he would not abandon the mulberry garden and silkworm house, and planned to lend the mulberry garden and silkworm house to Ke Jiangshi, so he calmed down and thought about it.

Now Dafang's life is getting better and better, even if there is no silkworm house and mulberry garden, they can live on. At present, Ke Mengshi is most worried about Sanfang.

If Dafang is really willing to lend the silkworm house and mulberry garden to Ke Jiangshi, that would be a good thing.

After listening to his daughter's suggestion, Ke Shuisheng also felt that it was feasible, because he also considered his wife's health and didn't want her to be too tired. Now their family is not too poor to let go, and it is really not short of two hundred coins.

However, Ke Zhong didn't quite agree with Ke Hanxue's idea.

"Xue'er, it's not that my mother is stingy and reluctant to lend your mulberry garden and silkworm house to your third aunt. I think it's pretty good to have an income of more than [-] Wen a month. Didn't you just say that, Two hundred Wen and more money can still buy food for several days."

"Mom, if you can take care of your body and stop getting sick, can you get more than 200 yuan? Besides, grandma's health is getting worse day by day. Our family has more work, grandma. I have to help again, what if grandma is tired?" Ke Hanxue had to move grandma out, she knew that as long as she said so, her mother would not insist on it even if she didn't want to.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Ke Baosheng, who had been silently listening to the elder brother's family discussing family affairs, became nervous when he heard that Ke Mengshi was not in good health.

"No, it's just that my waist was a little sore a few days ago, and it's all gone!" Ke Mengshi said while glaring at Ke Hanxue, blaming her for talking too much.

Ke Hanxue stuck out her tongue, she forgot about her uncle.

"I'm not in my [-]s or [-]s now. If I really don't want to raise silkworms, what do you want me to do at home?" Ke Zhong asked, frowning. They are ordinary people, how can they not work all day long?
"Mother, if you are really afraid of boredom, we can buy an extra [-] or [-] chickens and ducks to raise. You can also go to the mulberry garden to grow some vegetables when you are free. It will be easy to live like this."

Originally, Ke Hanxue wanted to talk about raising pigs, but thinking about the smell of pig manure, he couldn't bear it. In addition, his vacant house was used to raise silkworms, and there was no extra space to raise pigs, so he didn't mention raising pigs. Pig thing.

"I agree with what Xue'er said." Ke Shuisheng said: "Mother, don't forget that our family is still planting more than nine acres of rice. Xue'er said that the seedlings can be transplanted in two days. There is still work to be done, there is still a lot of work to be done after planting seedlings, if you really can't spare, you can help Xue'er."

"Father, if you don't tell me, I really forgot that our family still grows rice!" After being told by Ke Shuisheng, Ke Zhong obviously agreed with his daughter's suggestion.

"Brother, does your family grow so much rice?" Ke Baosheng was surprised again.

How long has he not been home, and the elder brother's house has undergone such a big change, not only did he buy a cow, but he also planted so much land?

"Yes, these are Xue'er's ideas." Ke Shuisheng smiled, and told Ke Baosheng about renting land and growing rice.

"Brother, when will the seedlings be transplanted?" Ke Baosheng asked after listening. He has always been interested in these novel things. This kind of rice needs to grow seedlings first. This is the first time he has heard of it.
