Chapter 52
These ant silkworms have relatively small appetites, but their bodies grow extremely fast, and their original black body color is gradually becoming lighter, and the hair on their bodies is also gradually receding.

Unknowingly, the ant silkworm has completed its first molt, and the molt time is about one day. During this period, the silkworm babies do not eat or move, just like falling asleep, so it is also called "sleep".

After sleeping, silkworm babies enter the second age.At this time, the silkworms' appetite gradually increased, and the children had to get up in the middle of the night to feed them.In the silent night, you can always hear the "rustling" sound made by these silkworm babies nibbling on the mulberry leaves.

If it continues like this, Qiulin is really afraid that the mulberry leaves on the bank of the fish pond will not be enough for the silkworms to eat.At that time, I'm afraid I have to go to other places to pick some mulberry leaves to be able to count.Fortunately, when the silkworms grow up, when they reach the third and fourth ages, the requirements for mulberry leaves are not so high.At that time, eating mulberry leaves and lettuce leaves will be fine.

One day, Mrs. Han was spreading lime powder for sterilization in Canzuo, when she heard the rattling of ox carts outside the house.I didn't pay attention at first, but after a while, I heard a voice calling her.Mrs. Han hurriedly put down the work in hand, went to the kitchen to wash her hands before welcoming her out.

It turned out that sister-in-law and niece Yi Luo came over, Han rubbed her hands and welcomed sister-in-law Ye into the house. "Hehe, I didn't expect you to come here today. Take a break and I'll make tea for you."

Han shi went to the stove house numbly again.

Mrs. Ye dragged Han Yiluo into the kitchen, and her voice rang out loudly: "Sister, don't be so busy. It's still spring plowing season, and I'm too busy. I can't take time off. It's not you Let me inquire about it? Both Yi Ming and Yi Mo have met the children of that family, and they say that they have a good character and good manners, and they are definitely people who can be trusted and relied on."

Han was stunned for a moment, her mind was all on silkworms at this moment, and she ignored this matter.Hearing sister-in-law's praise, Han's heart was full of joy, and she patted her head in frustration, "Look at my brain, I forgot this important stubble, Yi Ming and Yi Mo both read Those who have been educated can never go wrong with their eyes. It seems that this matter has some clues. By the way, did Yi Ming and Yi Mo get their grades in this childbirth test, did they pass?"

Mrs. Ye shook her head, "Not yet, but these two children have been smart since they were young, and they are the favorite students of their master, so I think they can pass." There was infinite longing in Ye's eyes.

Han's face was full of smiles: "That's good, that's good..."

Mrs. Ye also laughed: "Big sister, I'm here to deliver the news. Since the news has been brought, I won't stay any longer. There are still many things to do at home. Hey, this spring plowing is really amazing." People are worried. In the second half of the year, there is nothing to do, and people are anxious, and in the first half of the year, they are too busy to touch the ground, which makes people feel tired and flustered!" Mrs. Han is not an outsider, and Mrs. Ye complained in front of her .

Han's heart was not happy when she heard it. The food that her brothers and sisters-in-law had worked so hard to grow, would send so much to her family later, which made her feel really sorry. "This farmer's work can't be finished, so it's not as important as your own body and bones, so let's save some."

Ye Shi frowned when he heard this.She would like to be more leisurely, but now that the two children are grown up, they are both taking the entrance examination for children. If they pass the entrance examination for children and the township examination, they can go to Chunwei right away. , but it will cost a lot of money.And it's only been a few years, and both of them have grown into big fools. Does this mean that the daughter-in-law doesn't want money like that?If you don't do more work while you are young, the days to come will be worrying! "Hey, I don't want to, maybe I'm born to be so busy." Ye Shi sighed, drank a few sips of tea at Han Shi's place, and left.

Qiuyue Qiulin came back from picking mulberry leaves and saw a bullock cart passing by her yard.When they got home, the ox cart had gone through the woods and headed for the entrance of the village.

Seeing Han Shi silently staring into the distance, Qiu Lin stepped forward and shoved Han Shi's arm. "Mother, who came just now?" Qiu Lin followed where Mrs. Han was looking, but it was just a picture of a spring farmer busy farming. It was like this every day, nothing new.

Mrs. Han looked back, "Your aunt came here, and she talked about the last time my mother got rid of your two cousins. Now it's the spring plowing season, and your grandma's house is also very busy. Your aunt dare not come again." Don't delay any longer, and go back in a hurry."

"Ah, it turns out that the eldest aunt has been here..." Qiulin looked at the elder sister meaningfully, seeing her cheeks getting redder, she couldn't help but smile.Now it is the spring plowing season, and the farmers are too busy.The childbirth test has just ended, and the eldest aunt hurried over, definitely because of that matter.

Qiuyue's cheeks became more and more red, she stomped her feet suddenly, and said angrily: "I hate you, I don't care about you!"

After the eldest sister entered the house, Qiulin asked curiously: "Mother, do cousins ​​say that the Zhang family's baby is reliable?"

"Both your cousins ​​have met the baby of that family, and they said he is polite, and they have a good impression of him." Han nodded and said.

"I want to wait a few days and go to Zhang's family in person to clarify this matter, and then make an appointment for this marriage. Since your Aunt Qi intends to marry our family, this baby is still rare That's good. If we don't make a statement for a long time, where will we get it back if we miss such a good one?"

Qiulin felt that it was too hasty to book the marriage without meeting each other.But in ancient times, this was a very normal phenomenon.Qiulin couldn't imagine that when she grew up, she would marry in such a hasty way.Is this called "do as the Romans do when you come to the countryside, and you will settle down when you come?"Thinking about it, I feel that one head is two big.

When the silkworm babies fell into their second sleep, Han went to Wang Er's house to rent an ox cart and went to Haitang Village.Accompanied by the little guy Qiulin.She is going to show the elder sister what her future husband-in-law looks like and what his character is.

Haitang Village was not too far from Luoshui Village, and after about an hour, the Han mother and daughter both arrived at Haitang Village.This is the first time for the Han family to come to Haitang Village, and they don't know which one is the Qi family.Just on the dirt road came a village woman carrying a hoe.

Mrs. Han went up to ask her, "Big sister, do you know where Zhang Yuanshan lives?"

The village woman was very enthusiastic and smiled kindly: "Oh, it's a coincidence that you have come here. Her son has passed the child's examination, and the family is making arrangements for a banquet. That is, his family can afford such a style. You go straight along this road, and you will come across a willow tree with a thick neck on the road." Ordinary people, after passing the Tongsheng Examination, how can they hold a banquet?

Han looked forward, and could vaguely see the thin branches of the willow swaying in the air. "Thank you, Si'er, let's go quickly."

Han Shi led Qiulin forward, and sure enough, he saw a willow tree with a thick neck beside the road, and there was a family directly opposite the willow tree.The house was built bigger than the average farmer's house.A fence was built in front of the gate to enclose the yard.At this time, the courtyard was full of people, and the surrounding area was somewhat tight.

Han Shi hesitated for a while, and wanted to go forward.In front of the door, I suddenly heard a clear voice floating from the yard. "Fellow folks, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to come here to celebrate me as a junior. I, Zhang Cheng, am very grateful. Ah Cheng has been able to make it this far because of the support and encouragement of all the folks. At the same time, I also I will continue to work hard and strive to get good grades in the exam. In the future, you will be useful to me, and I will definitely not refuse."

Han looked for the source of the sound, and saw a handsome boy standing in the center, bowing to the guests seated in the yard.The expression is neither arrogant nor humble, and the manner is polite.Moreover, what he said just now is also very loose.How could people not like such a baby?

Qiulin also felt that Zhang Cheng was short-sighted. At such a young age, he has a lot of ambition, which is already very valuable.

"Big sister, Ah Lin, why are you here?" Mrs. Qi, who was busy in the stove, came out with two bowls of soup, but suddenly saw Mrs. Han and her little daughter standing outside her yard.Qi was so excited that he almost hit the bowl on the ground, but fortunately his son helped him quickly.

Mrs. Qi quickly handed the two bowls to her son, and hurried to Mrs. Han. "Big sister, come in quickly. I'm tired of running around. Go and sit in the house, and I'll make tea for you."

Mrs. Han stopped Qi's, "Sister Qi, don't be so troublesome. You have guests today, so you don't have to ask for us. If we are thirsty, we can just pour tea by ourselves. Go over and do your work."

Mrs. Qi hesitated for a while, and finally compromised, "Then you can sit anywhere, I'm busy at the moment too. Please forgive me if there is anything I didn't take good care of."

"Where is it, you sisters still need to say such things?" Han Shi smiled and pushed Qi Shi in, and led Qiu Lin into the yard.

The yard is already crowded with people, and there is no room to spare.Mrs. Han took Qiulin to the main room.

There was no one in the main room, so Han picked up a chair and sat down. She really couldn't bear the rush of the journey, she was a little dizzy standing up, but now she sat down and felt better.

After a while, a 14-year-old boy came in with a porcelain cup.With a pleasant face, he said: "Auntie and little sister have worked hard all the way, so hurry up and drink some tea."

That person is Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Chengmo's height is about 1.6 meters [-], which is not short for this age group. He was born with delicate features, and there is a sense of peace between his brows.Thinking about it, this person has a very gentle temper.

Han thanked him, and took the teacup over. The tea was still hot, and some of the tea leaves in the teacup sank to the bottom of the cup, while others floated on the surface.She blew on the tea with her mouth to speed up the cooling of the tea.

"Where did Auntie come from? Ah Cheng has never seen it before?" This auntie looked kind and friendly, but he had never seen it before.
