After I came back from cultivating immortality, I led the whole village to raise silkworms and becom

Chapter 79 The end of Qiucan

The Qiao family now lives in the silkworm house, and all the silkworm cocoons have been finished. Now that it's November, the mulberry trees have to start cutting off the strips and wait until next year for the strips to grow again.

Spring silkworm rearing begins in April, and during this time the silkworm farmers in Arbor Bay have some free time.

When we returned to the silkworm house, Qiao's mother was already washing and cutting in the kitchen outside.

After parking the car, Qiao Manman returned to the silkworm room. The silkworm room had a large hall with four silkworm rooms built next to it. Qiao's father arranged for Qiao Manman's room to be in one of the silkworm rooms.

Two of them are the rooms of Qiao's father, Qiao's mother, and Qiao's grandfather, Qiao Zhiyuan. The remaining one contains many tools for raising silkworms. The checkered clusters, leaky nets, and some boxes containing silkworm babies are all placed in that miscellaneous room. Went inside the room.

"Manman, what did you buy?" Dad Qiao looked over and over at some of the things Qiao Manman brought back.

Grandpa Qiao opened a bag and saw that there were more than a dozen cartons of cigarettes inside.

"Wow! Why did you buy so many cigarettes?"

"I wanted to buy some for my grandpa, and I thought I would have to give some to the workers at home, so I bought more."

Father Qiao and Grandpa Qiao also understood what Qiao Manman explained.

Only Grandpa Qiao smokes in the Qiao family, and he smokes dry tobacco made from tobacco leaves grown by himself.

Most workers only smoke finished cigarettes, and everyone also smokes some when relatives come back during the Chinese New Year.

You really need to have some at home.

"I'll take this and put it away." Dad Qiao said and took the cigarette bag from Grandpa Qiao's hand.

"I'll keep it and put it in the room where Xiaoyuan and I are." Grandpa Qiao said to Dad Qiao.

"Dad, just give up on this idea. Putting the rice jar in your room is like putting the rice vat in the mouse's room." After saying that, he walked to his room and locked the cigarettes in the cabinet.

"You should leave some for me."

"One pack every two days, I'll give it to you tomorrow."

After Qiao's father locked the cabinet, he came out and said to Grandpa Qiao.

"The rest is some dried seafood, some small supplements and clothes."

I was flipping through the bag in front of me and trying to open it, when I heard Mother Qiao's voice: "I've been watched, come here to eat first."

Today, Qiao's mother stewed a soybean pig's trotters, a sweet and sour short ribs, a roast chicken, a garlic greens and a seaweed soup.

"Are you tired from coming here today?" Qiao's mother asked her after everyone sat down.

"It's not bad, I'm just a little tired from the journey back." He said and picked up a pig's foot with his hand and started to chew it.

This pig's trotters were fried once by Qiao's mother and then stewed in a pressure cooker. The pig's skin is soft, tender and not greasy.

The soybeans are also simmered in the pressure cooker until they become soft and fragrant.

After finally filling up my stomach, I told the Qiao family about what happened on their trip to Los Angeles. I didn't tell them about buying stones. I mainly talked about going to Zhou Chengli's house for dinner and bringing Zhou's mother back to Qiaomu Bay. .

At this time, Qiao Zhiyuan was also full and put down his chopsticks.

"Is it the one where you always give them vegetables?"

Qiaomanman nodded.

"If she comes over to our house and needs anything, we will try our best to help." Qiao's mother also spoke at this time.

Since it was his daughter who abducted him, he had to take some responsibility for him.

After that, we talked about building a house at home.

Now that everything has been moved out of the Qiao family's house, the designer team will come over the day after tomorrow. Yesterday, the construction team went in to carry out demolition work, transporting piles of broken bricks and stones from the second floor to the first floor.

"The demolition should be completed in three days."

Qiao Manman asked Dad Qiao.

"Well, we don't have anything troublesome at home. I can definitely finish it in these two days, and their construction team has quite a few people."

Previously, the construction team came to build a silkworm breeding base, but now a team of people was sent to rebuild the old granary.

I was very tired today. Qiao Manman went to the small bathroom outside Jamsil to wash up and then went back to the room to rest.

This washroom is actually made of small bricks. Dad Qiao built a small bathroom next to the silkworm house before. The washroom was built recently.

Otherwise, it would be very inconvenient for them to move here.

After returning to the room, Qiao Manman was still a little uncomfortable looking at this room, even though his room was originally very simple.

But after living there for so many years, it was a bit strange to suddenly move to this Jamsil.

The floors of the silkworm room are all cement floors, because after each batch of silkworms are reared, they must be disinfected with quicklime and then rinsed with a faucet. However, neither the lime nor the silkworm grit can be completely removed, so there are white traces of lime on the floor.

Lying on the familiar bed, I looked at the white ceiling, thinking that I would have to go check out the demolition work on that side of the house tomorrow.

I quickly closed my eyes and went to sleep.

When I woke up in the morning, I saw that I had slept in a strange room. I was in a daze for a moment before I remembered that I had moved to Jamsil.

I put on a hooded gray sweatshirt and black sweatpants, put on simple and lightweight sneakers, tied a simple ponytail, and went out to wash up.

The washing place is outside the silkworm room. Qiao's father moved a simple washbasin and even hung the family's mirror on the cement wall.

Qiao Manman washed his teeth with his own toothbrush and rinsed himself. I walked to the other side and took a look. There was nothing in the pot on the stove. I walked into the house and saw that the rice noodles were cooked in the induction cooker on the dining table.

Ma Qiao probably went out to do some work after cooking the rice noodles.

I'm going to find someone to cut the mulberry trees in the field today.

In the past few years, silkworm farmers in Qiaomuwan used sickles to cut mulberry trees in the fields, then stacked the mulberry trees one by one and left them in the ground to dry before moving them home to burn firewood.

Now with the promotion of some machine manufacturers, everyone has purchased cutting machines. After all, cutting mulberry trees with a sickle is very hard and tiring.

When Qiao Manman was a child, she followed her family to the fields to cut mulberry trees, and even cut her hands. Later, everyone would wear gloves when cutting mulberry trees, but it was inevitable that blisters and calluses would develop on their hands.

After the cutting machine became available, not all families bought it. Some families now also ask people to help cut it, and the price is more than a dozen per acre.

However, if you hire someone, you have to go to the field and stack up all the messy mulberry trees, so as not to affect the sprouting of the branches behind.

After taking out the bowls and chopsticks from the dining table basin and consuming all the rice noodles in the pot, Qiao Manman walked towards the house.

Grandpa Joe was there when we passed by.

"Grandpa, are you here to supervise the work?" Qiao Manman said with a smile.

"I'm not supervising work, Dahuang is supervising work." He pointed to Dahuang who was lying aside.

Looking at the house in front of him that had become a pile of ruins, Qiao Manman suddenly felt a little bit sour in his heart.

Workers put construction waste into bags and carried it to the removal truck nearby.

Qiao Manman came to his senses, squatted down and played with Dahuang for a while, then told Grandpa Qiao that he was going to the factory.
