Chapter 1016 Good feelings
Soon, Minjie brought back news from Tianzao.
Maybe it wasn't there in the first place, or maybe it was because it rained heavily for two days.
In short, there is absolutely no hope for Tianzao.
Lu Miao took a deep breath and could only wait for news from Hu Zhiyuan.
During this period, the silkworms raised by Lu Miao lost their gray and white skin and successfully entered the third instar.
After another ten days or so, after passing through the next two stages, the silkworm babies will be able to form cocoons.
Chen Guifen looked at the two sieves of white silkworms she was serving and said:
"There are so many mulberry leaves outside this season, why do you only raise so few? What can these few sparse ones do?"
Lu Miao smiled and carried the small basket, slowly put fresh mulberry leaves into the sieve and said:
"I just want to try making a fan, but I may not be able to do it yet! I just get a few silkworm cocoons and practice. If I don't do it well, I won't make it, so as to avoid trouble and waste."
Chen Guifen nodded thoughtfully, feeling strange.
Chen Guifen used to raise silkworms in her free time and occasionally did some household chores.
But can this cocoon made by silkworms be used as a fan?
This is really the first time Chen Guifen has heard of it.
Make a fan...
Then why not get a spinning wheel and spin the thread first, and then spin out the satin?
Otherwise, what should we do?
In the past, Lu Miao often studied some weird things like fertilizing rice and fish.
But in terms of freshness, Chen Guifen felt that this matter was the freshest. After thinking about it, she said:
"It will take at least half a month for the silkworms to form cocoons. I still have a small bag of ready-made cocoons. Do you want them?"
Do you want it?
Definitely want it!
Lu Miao grabbed the mulberry leaves from the bottom of the basket, spread them on the sieve a few times, and said quickly:
"Yes! Auntie, I will go home with you to get it now!"
Chen Guifen was stunned for a moment and said with a smile:
"Are you in such a hurry?"
"Urgent, very urgent! Auntie, if I had known you had it ready-made earlier, I wouldn't have bothered for so long..."
The interest in DIY was aroused, and Lu Miao couldn't wait for a moment.
He immediately put down the small basket, took Chen Guifen's hand and said coquettishly:
"Oh, Auntie, hurry up! Let's get it now!"
Chen Guifen laughed and had to take her back to the He family to get it.
The silkworm cocoons currently in Chen Guifen's hands were raised just a while ago.
At that time, there was a lot of work in the fields, and I couldn't handle the food for a while, so I saved it.
Generally, after silkworms spin cocoons, the cocoons will break out within seven or eight days if the temperature is suitable.
Afraid that the cocoon would be difficult to handle later in the reeling process, Chen Guifen boiled the cocoon in water.
They were dried in the hot sun that day, then bagged and hung up.
When I arrived at He's house, I took the cloth bag that Chen Guifen took off the hook on the beam and looked at it.
After making sure it was still usable, Lu Miao carried her things home and started working.
She was so whimsical that she thought of something. When she got home, she found a woodcutter and went to the backyard.
I originally wanted to cut down some bamboo and build a fan frame first.
But Lu Miao can do it even if she is clumsy.
When it came to splitting bamboo strips and making fan frames, she was at a loss and didn't know where to start.
Fu Jingyou came back from the fields for lunch. When she got home, she saw a few dry bamboo leaves on her head and a hatchet in her hand with a troubled look on her face.
Looking at the fallen bamboo and his wife with a sad face, Fu Jingyou was confused and asked:
"What's wrong? Why are you cutting bamboo when you have nothing to do?"
"Brother You, you're back just in time!"
As if seeing a savior, Lu Miao quickly ran to the child's father and said: "I need a fan frame! I need to split the bamboo into bamboo strips first, then nest them into a round shape, and have a fan handle... Oh, it was in the cultural center before. I’ve seen the round fan, I want a frame like that!”
Fu Jingyou understood the meaning of her narrative, took off the leaves on her head and said:
"Okay, I'm going to wash my hands and I'll do it later."
He said and took her towards the house:
"Next time, wait until I come back. Don't go to the bamboo forest by yourself. There has been no activity in this area at home for a long time. There is a chance that a snake may be hiding there."
At that time, Lu Miao was only thinking about DIY, but she really didn't consider this aspect.
Now that Fu Jingyou mentioned it, Lu Miao thought about it seriously, and the hairs on her back stood up.
She nodded like a chicken, but said harshly:
"If there were really snakes, wouldn't they still bite people if it were you?"
Fu Jingyou raised his eyebrows:
"How can it be the same?"
Lu Miao curled her lips and gave him an angry look:
"Why is it different? You have thick skin, right? You are not afraid of being bitten anymore."
"Ghost."
Fu Jingyou laughed and shook his head, and said truthfully:
"I grew up in the countryside. I am definitely more familiar with this area than you. If there are real snakes, I can spot them."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Lu Miao felt that what he said made sense, so she said nothing more.
She only raised her chin to let him bow down. She held the handle of the water well and squeezed out cool water to rinse his arms and face.
Tian Guihua poked her head out of the back door of the kitchen:
"The food is on the table, you two hurry up!"
"Hey, it's coming!"
Lu Miao responded quickly, turned around and said to Fu Jingyou:
"Eat first, wait until you finish eating and then do it!"
Fu Jingyou nodded, waved his hand and followed her into the house.
Hearing that there was no movement in the kitchen, he knew that Tian Guihua must have gone to the front room.
Fu Jingyou's eyes flickered slightly, he laughed and shouted:
"Wait a minute."
"Huh?"
Lu Miao turned her head, and he pecked the side of her fair face, held her hand and said:
"It's nothing, you can keep going."
Lu Miao pretended to be angry and glared at him, then they crossed the threshold and said:
"I'm not serious, and I'm not afraid of being seen by my second sister-in-law and aunt!"
Fu Jingyou's eyes were full of smiles, and he curved his lips to accept the scolding.
Under the summer breeze, his voice when he chuckled was deep and low, especially gentle and pleasant.
Lu Miaojiao scoffed at him, then quietly curled her lips and said nothing.
After dinner, the jujube tree in front of the door provided a shade. Fu Jingyou chopped off the branches and split the bamboo into strips.
Lu Miao watched from the side, gesticulating from time to time.
After the fan frame was finished, she couldn't stop messing around inside and outside the house.
Now I need to light the stove, and now I need to find a suitable small jar to boil the cocoons and soften them, etc.
Fu Jingyou followed her around, running back and forth to buy everything she needed.
When the uncles and aunts who came to chat in front of the door saw it, they all joked and laughed:
"Look at these two couples... they are tossing around so much that they look like children who haven't grown up yet."
Chen Guifen glanced at the busy couple in the room, smiled and said with emotion:
"Young couple, they have a good relationship and are young! They just like to play around with things!"
The uncles and aunts nodded in agreement.
When it comes to having a good relationship, the Fu family couple really has nothing to say.
Especially Xiaoliu, besides working, he just hangs around his wife.
I wish I could hold up my daughter-in-law and offer her to him.
There are many men in the village who love their wives.
But it's very rare for it to hurt like this.
