After worshiping from the mountain, song Xintong and his family went down the mountain to go home.
On the way down the mountain, we will pass through the mulberry trees again. Many villagers are collecting mulberry leaves.
Song Xintong remembered that sericulture was in spring and summer. How could he pick mulberry leaves at this time? He asked his uncle curiously why he wanted to pick these old leaves.
"It's September, it's autumn, and it's frosting in the morning. At this time, we start to collect frosty mulberry leaves. This kind of frosty mulberry leaves can be used for medicine and has the effect of antiperspiration. It's also a sum of money to sell them to drugstores," he said
i see.
He Wei added: "mulberry is full of treasures. Mulberry leaves can be used to raise silkworms, branches can be made into baskets, fruits can be used for food and wine making, and leaves, fruits and root bark can also be used as medicine."
So good?
Song Xintong thinks that mulberry trees are really good things, but it's a pity that there are these in their village. She vaguely remembers that mulberry trees can bear fruit in summer, but it's a pity that now it's autumn, and there are no red or crimson mulberry any more.
It's often bought in the supermarket in the previous life. It tastes sweet and sour. It's said that it has the effects of tonifying liver and kidney, generating body fluid and moistening dryness, black hair and bright eyes.
"Xintong, if you come here in summer, you can still eat mulberry, but now it's gone," he said
"Then it's not the right time for us to come. If we have the chance to come again next year, we must have one." Song Xintong thought of the price in the supermarket in his previous life, and then looked at the mulberry trees, he thought it was too worthwhile to eat here, and he was full of management.
"Well, if you can't come, my uncle will send it to you."
"Thank you, uncle." Song Xintong answered with a smile, then walked behind with Lu Yun and said in a low voice, "have you ever eaten this fruit?"
"No It's rare in Lingnan. Even in the mountains, it's impossible for Lu Yunkai to go there.
"That's a pity. It's delicious, sour and sweet." Song Xintong said in a low voice: "we must try it in the coming year."
"Only you and Nuan like sour and sweet." Lu Yunkai was helpless and spoiled with a smile, "how many trees do you want to plant in your orchard?"
"Well, you're right." Song Xintong's eyes brightened, but soon went out again, "but we may seldom be at home in the future."
"When we've made up our mind, we'll plant it in the right place?" Lu Yunkai proposed.
"Good." Song Xintong pulled Lu Yunkai's sleeve and said happily: "there are also several plants in the family. At that time, we will open a fruit shop to sell these fresh fruits to the passing boat passengers."
"Well, it's up to you." Lu Yunkai thinks that his wife is still very playful and wants to do everything, but he is also willing to accompany and support her.
"Ah..." wennuan, who had been trotting in front of her, suddenly tripped over the dense grass and fell on the ground, sobbing and motionless, waiting for song Xintong to pull her up.
Walking in front of the twins see, immediately want to hold warm, song Xintong busy stop them, "let her up."
Twins dare not from, can only stand beside to warm up: "warm up, stand up."
Warm hum of don't move, more think more sad, cry more sad.
Song Xintong walked over and squatted on one side: "Oh, you see that little sister is looking at you. It's all a joke. The wrestler is still crying so sad and playing naughty on the ground..."
Looking at the front, the tears rolled, the mouth pursed, and then all of a sudden, she got up, walked forward with short legs, and twisted her buttocks, which showed her dissatisfaction, anger, stubbornness and self-esteem.
Song Xintong chuckled. How could he be so cute.
After going down the mountain, lunch was also arranged. Compared with the 1500 people in the village and the daughters and relatives of the he family, the open space in the middle of the village was full. Everyone came to see he Xiu's daughter and son.
An aunt who didn't give out her five clothes asked, "are you in Lingnan? It's said that it's very poor there. It's all in the mountains. There's no rice growing in the fields. What do you live on? "
Song Xintong doesn't like the tone of this aunt very much, "depend on mountains and water."
"That's hunting and fishing?"
Song Xintong hooked his lips, "it's a pastime when he's free."
The aunt listened and said, "what do you do when you have something to do?"
Song Xintong a smile, "and ordinary farmers, planting rice ah."
"..." the aunt's face changed. At this time, she didn't know that she had been teased. She had lived in vain for decades.
Song Xintong is not afraid to offend people. Anyway, she is just a relative other than Sanfu. If she offends, she offends. She doesn't live on the he family. The most important thing is that I really don't like this aunt's tone. I think their silk business is good and they look down on people.
Hum, she doesn't have no silver.
She is a little rich woman.
One side of the big cousin came over to help break the deadlock: "seven Gu, there are playing leaf cards, lack of people, ask seven Gu you go to gather one."
My aunt was feeling sick and took the opportunity to leave.
The eldest cousin took song Xintong's hand and said with a smile“ Qigu doesn't speak well, but she is good. Don't worry about her cousin. "
"No Song Xintong said.
"By the way, thank Xintong for the butterfly hairpin you gave Xiaoya. They like it." The eldest cousin said with a smile, they also received a lot of cloth, the upper quality, are good things, this cousin is really generous.
My father-in-law told me that my cousin opened a restaurant in Lingnan. Although she didn't have as much money as them, she was worried about where they would come to play in autumn, but now she seems to be thinking too much.
Moreover, the cousin husband is a full-time man, so his status is different. In the future, he will be an official. They flatter each other a lot, and they will have a backer in the future.
Song Xintong didn't know what she was thinking. If she knew, she would throw tens of thousands of taels of savings on her face and tell her that I was a rich woman! It's much thicker than he's family.
When her grandmother woke up from a nap, song Xintong took the twins and Nuan Nuan to talk with her again. After one afternoon and another night, she let them go.
Early the next morning, song Xintong and Lu Yunkai got up early, said goodbye to their grandmother, uncle and aunt, and left.
Before leaving, my grandmother began to cry again, reluctant to let them go.
The sound of the wheels of the carriage, melodious and lengthy, gradually becomes a little sad, which makes the atmosphere of separation more sad.
The twins wiped their eyes and waved to Grandma: "grandma, if you miss us, come to Lingnan city. We live in Lingnan city. It only takes three days by boat."
"Good, good." My grandmother waved her hand and said, how can her trembling body make trouble for my grandchildren? I don't know when we will see this separation.
"Niang, it's cold now. We'll send you to see them when the next year is warmer." He Wei said: "next year, if they get into Tongsheng, when Xintong is settled, they will definitely take them, and then Niang will go with them."
Grandma nodded, "OK, OK, OK."
