Chapter 6: Trouble Brother to Weave a Dustpan
"Also, regarding the issue of sharing wives, I think it's because the conditions don't allow it. I will work hard with everyone to make money. When we have enough money, I can remarry a sister-in-law with each of my brothers, and everyone can treat me as a sister." After saying that, Shen Xia looked at the people in front of him.
After glancing at Song Yu, he continued, "Old Five, you can treat me as your sister."
"Liar," Song Yu muttered softly.
The corners of Shen Xia's mouth twitched unnaturally. He was indeed deceived last night, but he did not refute it.
After hearing this, Song's mother didn't know what to say. The conditions did not allow for sharing a wife at the time. If the conditions were good, no family would have shared a wife.
At this time Song Ming said: "Xia Xia, you don't dislike us brothers."
"No, there isn't one," Shen Xia retorted.
"You are still thinking about Jiang Yi." The first thing Song Jiang mentioned was Jiang Yi.
Are you in a fight with him?
"What does it have to do with him?" Shen Xia said speechlessly.
At this time, Song Jin spoke silently: "What Xia Xia said makes sense. How about this? Xia Xia will give everyone some time to get along with each other first. If the brothers are still willing to marry a wife at that time, then Xia Xia will go to the government office with us to get the marriage certificate. If the brothers have someone they like, they can marry someone else. How about that?"
What I mean is, if you are willing, then take it. That is to say, it doesn’t matter whether you are willing or not.
But then I thought, the economy will definitely get better in the future, and they themselves probably won't be willing to marry a wife.
After thinking about it, I don’t care anymore.
"No, this is unfair to Xia Xia. Are we treating Xia Xia as a backup?" At this time, Song's mother disagreed.
"I think what Third Brother said is OK. Mom is fine. I am willing." Shen Xia comforted Song's mother.
"Well, let's do as my third brother says!" Song Ming also understood that it might be difficult for Xia Xia to accept having five husbands at once, but there is still a long way to go.
After hearing what Song Ming and Song Jin said, Song Jiang didn't know what to say, so he agreed.
The lunch was porridge and wild vegetables. It was ok for me to eat these, but how could a bunch of grown men like you get full with just this little?
Looking at how thin they all are, except for the eldest and second brothers who are a little stronger, the others are weak.
After dinner, Song's mother didn't want to wash the dishes herself, so she asked Shen Xia to sit in the yard and play.
Shen Xia began to wonder what to do with her silk cocoons.
Just then, he saw Song Jiang weaving something, so he walked over and took a look: "Brother, can you help me weave something?"
"What kind?" Song Jiang said calmly.
"A winnowing basket is round and has a circle woven around it to prevent things from falling out," Shen Xia said while gesturing with his hands.
Song Jiang understood what she was talking about and said, "Okay."
"Thank you, big brother." Song Jiang looked at Shen Xia's smiling face and felt relieved. As long as she was not thinking about Jiang Yi all the time, he would treat her well.
After Shen Xia finished speaking, she remembered that the room at home was too small, so she needed a shelf. Otherwise, when the silkworms hatched and gave birth, there would be many little babies and the room would not be able to accommodate them all.
Then he said to Song Jiang: "Brother, we need a few more racks so that we can put one winnowing basket on each layer."
"No problem." Song Jiang said and started to work.
Song Jin, who was standing next to him, felt sad. Since he couldn't see, he was like a useless person, and was good for nothing but causing trouble.
Shen Xia took out all the silk cocoons from her backpack. There were not many cocoons at the moment, so she just used the dustpan she had at home to put them in.
Shen Xia carefully arranged the cocoons one by one in a row and placed them in a winnowing basket.
Song's mother, who had just finished washing the dishes, came out and saw this strange thing: "Xia Xia, why did you bring this back? It's full of bugs."
“This is a silkworm cocoon.”
"Silkworm cocoon??? Is it useful?"
"Of course it is useful. This can be used to make silk quilts, which are light and soft. Silk threads can also be used to weave cloth and make clothes. It has many uses," Shen Xia explained patiently.
Song Jiang and Song Ming were listening quietly beside them.
"Okay! Xia Xia, do you plan to raise this?" asked Song's mother.
"Well, this one is more precious, and has a strong reproductive capacity. I see there are a lot of mulberry leaves on the mountain, so this one has the lowest cost."
"We'll do whatever Xia Xia says," Song's mother supported.
After a busy day, I went into the room at night, lay down on the bed and fell asleep. I was in a daze and suddenly opened my eyes.
I was shocked. What was going on? This was still my room. Could it be that what happened before was just a dream? But that was not right. How could it be so real?
I got up and looked around the rooms. It was just my ordinary home, but when I wanted to open the door and go out,
But I couldn't open the door.
Looking at the computer on my desk.
I plan to log on to WeChat and try to contact my parents.
No, I can’t make any calls.
But the room looked like it had been cleaned. I remember that I was drunk at home and there was a mess everywhere. It was obvious that my parents must have been there.
But how did I get here?
Is this the standard configuration for people who travel through time? This is space.
Your own space is your home.
Just don't understand.
Shen Xia tried to think of going out.
At this time, he opened his eyes and saw darkness in front of him. He tried to touch the person next to him and it was Song Yu.
I was secretly happy, I was so lucky, at least I had space, and the room was cleaned, maybe my parents could go into their room,
Is it possible to contact them?
Because I was too excited, I didn’t even fall asleep.
Then the next day, I woke up looking haggard.
Early in the morning, Shen Xia got up to pack because she was going to town. When she got up, Song Ming was already waiting at the door.
Because I told Song Ming last night that I would go to town with him today.
Why with Song Ming?
Because Song Ming works in the town, he is familiar with the town's affairs.
Looking at Song Ming standing at the door: "How long have you been waiting?"
"I'll boil some hot water in the kitchen soon. Go wash your face! I've also cooked two sweet potatoes for you."
"What about you, have you eaten?"
"have eaten".
Shen Xia washed her face and rinsed her mouth, then picked up two sweet potatoes, put them in her hands, and went out.
Song Ming was carrying a backpack. It was a little bright, so he could still see the road.
After walking for a while outside, Shen Xia handed a sweet potato to Song Ming: "I can't eat two, so let's have one each."
In fact, Shen Xia knew that Song Ming hadn't eaten at all, because the food at home was limited, so everyone was more frugal and would skip a meal if possible to save some food.
According to Song Yu, the Song family was well off when Song's father was still alive, but after his father passed away, they were driven out by the old Song family. That's why Song Ming and Song Jiang both know how to read because they both went to school when Song's father was still alive.
The house of the old Song family was also renovated with money paid for by Song's father. However, when Song's father got into trouble, the old Song family saw that the main house had too many people and was bullying them, an orphan and a widow, so they separated the house out.
