Deng Jingu replied: "when my mother asked, I would talk about it with her. It's better for her to grow mulberry and raise silkworms than to farm. The price of a kilo of fresh cocoons is not expensive. The market price of a kilo of dry silk is more than twenty-two. After eliminating the labor cost, it's about seventy-eight yuan. When she's not old enough, she can sell a kilo or two silver when she's high. We're here If you can raise it twice a year, you can produce 30 to 50 new silkworms on one mu of land. If one jin of dry silk is broken, you need seven and a half Jin of fresh cocoons, about 22 to more than 62 mu. If you raise it twice, it's about 62 to more than 12 mu. "
"So much? No wonder at the end of the year, the Su family bought another 100 mu of land and prepared to open a fish pond to plant mulberry trees. Ah, you had a lot of silver in your hand. Why didn't you do this? " Ji Chunhua has no idea what to say at this time.
Deng Jingu laughed bitterly: "Niang, although it's easy to make money, can we plant mulberry trees? Will someone serve the silkworm? Do you know how to smoke plain silk? What can you do if you recruit your cousin and go to school for some time? They just teach her some fur. I don't see that the dowry given by the Zhou family is good land. But if you really understand, will the Zhou family let go of this fat meat? What's more, if you have money, you may not be able to learn this craft. "
Ji Chunhua thought about it after hearing the speech. If so, she said with a sneer: "I should have thought about it earlier. How can a person like sun Cuihua be willing to give up money to let her daughter learn this? If she doesn't pay a lot of money, people will teach her? In fact, she just wanted to make a pretext to fool my family. If my son hadn't won't, the Zhou family might not have wanted to be married with her
Deng Jingu said with a smile: "it's good that you can be happy."
"That's right. If you don't take advantage of this, you're a bastard. The Zhou family doesn't lack money, and they're counting on my son. I won't be soft handed!" Deng Dalang had mentioned that the dowry of the Zhou family must come earlier. The Zhou family is optimistic about his son Deng Jinggu and wants to get close to his son's money tree.
Therefore, Ji Chunhua takes advantage of it and takes it with ease.
But in the hall room, Lin Qingshan's face was not good-looking and entered the door.
Deng Jinchai saw him empty handed and said, "don't you want to pour some warm water for little fish?"
"Go back and drink again. You can't go back. I'll go back." Lin Qingshan picked up his spirit and put his hand in his arms, but the tone of his speech to Deng Jinchai was not right.
"Why are you going back now?" Old lady Zhao suddenly asked questions and then sneered: "I guess I heard his mother-in-law say something ugly. It's just, it's just, people can't bear to eat good food. We don't have the thick face to eat here. We'll go back too. We'll have more money. We'll call for an ox cart. Jinling, hurry up and go back with us."
Old lady Zhao doesn't want to have dinner here at all. Zhao and Deng have torn their faces. If they didn't look at their children's faces, they would have said that they would die long ago.
Deng Jinling suddenly said, "I want to live in my own room when I go back."
As soon as old lady Zhao's face broke down, old man Zhao was ready.
Lin Qingshan didn't care. He turned around and went out of the door with little fish in his arms.
Deng Jinling didn't even call him at the door. Seeing that it was nothing wrong, she had to run to the room and told Deng Dalang, who had just returned to the room to lie down, that she wanted to go back.
Deng Dalang didn't think much about it, but said, "why don't you go back after dinner? When Jin Gu just left you, didn't you go back?"
"Dad, there are still a lot of people in the family. Qingshan, his father, his milk, his uncle and his second uncle are all here today."
"Shouldn't you go back to your mother's house with your wives?" This year, Deng Dalang was not able to accompany Ji Chunhua back to his mother's home because of his inconvenient legs. However, the Deng family has already sent a message. Moreover, they have prepared more generous gifts than in previous years. After a few days, they will let Deng Jingu and his brothers go.
Deng Jinchai also replied: "my little sister-in-law is back today, and she is still at home with master su. I guess many people have to have dinner before they leave. My mother-in-law can't be too busy alone. Besides, she has bad eyes."
"Just go." Deng Dalang is more and more tired and lazy now. He doesn't want to care about anything.
Deng Jinchai answered with a smile and said, "if my mother is too busy to build a tile roofed house, she will ask Jinsuo to call me. My mother-in-law has already said that she would allow me to come home and help for a few days."
This is what happened to Liu Sanniang. Lin Qingshan went to Su's house to help. She was afraid that Lin Shunhe would listen to Lin Fang's instigation and ask Deng Jinchai to help her on the boat. She simply sent her back to help her mother's house for a while.
Deng Dalang felt more comfortable.
Deng Jinchai said goodbye to him. When she came out, the Zhao family, including Deng Jinling, had already left the hall. When she looked at the door, old lady Zhao stood at the door with a taut face. She could not see Deng Jinling.
When she came out of the main room, she saw Deng Jinling holding the dog. She didn't know what Ji Chunhua was saying in the kitchen. Ji Chunhua didn't look very good.
"Elder sister, are you going back?" Deng Jingu ran out of the kitchen.
"Well, I had to go back. I didn't think so much about it before. Later, I thought that there was a large group of people waiting to eat at home." Deng Jinchai has the best relationship with Deng Jingu."So, she, did she, did she go back?" Deng Jingu asked her in a low voice.
"Yes, but this time, don't ask me to bring anything in private. Last time, because of that, your brother-in-law scolded me bloody, and then I knew that it was not done properly." Deng Jinchai was afraid that he would put forward something that would embarrass her. She opened her mouth in a hurry to show her attitude.
"Elder sister, wait a moment. I have no time before the 15th of the first month. You know, I'm doing some business. I always have to go back and forth with some people. I don't have the time to visit your family for the new year. Just wait a moment, and I'll take back the gifts."
Deng Jingu asked her to wait for a moment, and he raised his feet to go to the room.
He thought very clearly, the Lin family still has to work hard. Besides, at least it's Lin's mother's home. Someone has to help him talk.
Only Deng Jinchai, the eldest sister, and Xiao yu'er, the nephew, are connected with the Lin family.
Deng Jingu rummaged in his room for a while, and finally picked up five pieces of coarse cloth. He opened the box and took two pieces of money. After wrapping the cloth, he called Deng Jinchai into the room.
He pointed to the humble cloth bag and said, "this is a gift for you. Originally, he wanted to prepare fine cotton materials for you. Later, he heard that your mother-in-law's father-in-law, mother-in-law, and uncle Lin's family were all here. Even if they brought it back to you, I was afraid it would not fall into your hands. So he wanted to pick up five pieces of coarse cloth and cut two clothes for his family. Although this kind of material is not good-looking, it's not good-looking It's the most durable. In addition, there are two pieces of money. I'm the younger brother who gave you the private silver. "
It's not that Deng Jinggu is stingy, but that he doesn't have enough money on hand. In the past ten days, he has to go to other families and go to those who need to socialize.
Knowing that he was rich, Deng Jinchai said with a smile, "I'm not welcome."
Just now, I don't know what she had heard. Her face was so ugly. I wanted to ask, but I was afraid that Deng Jingu would misunderstand me, so I had to press this.
"Just wait and tell the second sister to go back." Deng Jingu made it clear that he didn't like the second sister.
Deng Jinchai wanted to persuade him, but she didn't know how to persuade him. Finally, she sighed: "they all say that there is no afterlife in this life. At any rate, a sister or brother is a direct relative."
Deng Jingu sneered: "if it's not my own, how can I care about her to die and live?"
Zhao duocai did a good job. He found an ox cart with a shed and pulled a large family to the town.
Deng Jinchai came out with a small burden.
Ji Chunhua didn't say much when she saw what she had in her hand. Maybe it was because the Zhao family didn't give her face. Ji Chunhua's face was not good-looking.
"Well, one or two, elbows are turning out. What's the use of these debt collectors? But it's just the second day of the lunar new year. I'm afraid I want you to work as coolies. One or two of you are in a hurry to go back. Bah, I'll save you a lot of trouble. My daughter doesn't want to give up her parents. Neither of you will have to leave until dinner. "
Knowing that she was unhappy, Deng Jinchai said, "mother, I'm not a girl. It's just that there are dozens of people at home waiting for me to go back to cook today. Besides, my mother-in-law told me that she was going to build a new tile roofed house. She asked me to come back to help her then."
Ji Chunhua's face looked better. She took a look at her and muttered: "good bamboo shoots come out of bamboo!"
She turned around and didn't know what she was going to do. Then she turned back and said, "just wait."
Finally, she took a piece of five colored bacon and gave it to her: "take it back. I'm very upset when I look at you. It's OK. Don't come back to my mother's house. Neither one nor the other is a worry free product."
Deng Jinchai ran after Lin Qingshan with a bag of things in her arms. She caught up with Lin Qingshan on the ditch bridge at the junction of Shangtang village and Xiatang village.
"Why are you unhappy?"
"Nothing." Lin Qingshan didn't get angry with Deng Jinchai. She didn't know it.
"You're holding something."
Deng Jinchai raised the bacon in her hand: "it was given by my mother. It was given by the golden drum. She gave me two pieces of money for private use, and five pieces of coarse cloth. I went back to cut it. I made two spring shirts for my parents and me."
Lin Qingshan thought, "you can keep the money for yourself. You can buy whatever you want. That's what your brother gave you. I haven't bought anything for you since I've been with you for so many years. It's because I can't afford to make you suffer."
Deng Jinchai stretched out her hand to help the little fish tighten her cloak. It was sewn by Lin Anxin for him. It was very rare to wear it with the tiger head cap. Today, she specially put all these things on the little fish, just to let her mother see clearly. The Lin family treated her well.
"I'd like to. I didn't want to before I got married. But after I got married, I found that although I was a little poor and bitter, my parents treated me very well, and you treated me well. I don't feel sad."
