Chapter 75 Song Jin can see the light
At this moment, the only people left in the yard were Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu and Third Uncle.
Aunt Liu looked at Shen Xia and quickly explained, "Xia Xia, it wasn't me who spread this matter."
"I didn't say that!" Aunt Liu interrupted impatiently.
Shen Xia looked at their slightly panicked expressions and gently comforted them, "I don't mean to blame the two aunts. There are many gossipy people in the village. It is normal for you to make appointments to go to the mountains to pick mulberry leaves every day, which will definitely attract other people's attention."
After listening to Shen Xia's words, the two felt relieved. They were afraid that Shen Xia would think that they had said nonsense and would not let them keep the dog, and get angry.
"Oh right, it should have been ten days since today! Now is the stage when the silkworms have the strongest appetite."
She thought for a moment and continued, "They are almost all third-instar silkworms now! In another twelve or thirteen days, they will start to spin cocoons, and it will take another four or five days to complete the cocooning."
"In this way, you will be able to hand in these cocoons in about twenty days." Hearing what Shen Xia said, the two were extremely excited, secretly calculating in their hearts that they would be able to make a considerable profit in about twenty days.
At this time, Aunt Liu asked cautiously: "So after this batch of silkworms is finished, can we continue to raise them?"
After all, Shen Xia had mentioned before that the space at home was limited, and he would have to wait until the house was renovated before purchasing again.
Therefore, Aunt Liu couldn't help but ask about the follow-up situation.
In contrast, Aunt Liu seemed more submissive. She felt that as long as Shen Xia allowed her to continue raising silkworms, she would just let it go. If not, then it would be fine for her to raise them with others in the future.
"After this batch is finished, we'll raise them together later! The main thing is that we really have no place to put them. For this batch alone, there are 120,000 silkworms, and it will take a lot of space to store them."
Aunt Liu was a little disappointed after hearing this.
But Aunt Liu smiled and said, "It's okay, Xia Xia said we can raise the baby whenever we can."
The two left together.
Only my third uncle was left in the yard.
Shen Xia asked Song Ming to pack the ten kilograms for his third uncle.
Then he handed it to Third Uncle and said, "Third Uncle, keep these ten kilograms. If you plant them now, they will be ready for cultivation in three months."
"This leaf is much better than the mulberry varieties in the mountains."
Uncle San looked at the seeds in his hand. Everyone was there just now. To be honest, after listening to Shen Xia's words, he was also quite moved.
But he was too embarrassed to ask, and unexpectedly Shen Xia just kept his share.
I was still very touched. At that time, the conditions of that family could not be any better.
Without saying too much, just the thing Shen Xia was talking about, even if one could successfully raise a batch of them in a year, the income would only be a few taels, which is something that one cannot even imagine.
But I couldn’t help but worry whether Shen Xia would be able to sell it.
"Xiao Xia, Uncle San heard what you said. My two sons go to help their uncle when he has work to do, and do farm work at home when he doesn't have work to do."
"I was very excited when I heard you talk about this thing, but I'm worried whether you can sell it. It's not that I'm afraid that you won't buy it if I raise it, but I'm afraid that it will fall into your hands." The third uncle said a little worriedly.
Shen Xia looked at Third Uncle's worried look and said with a smile: "Those words I just said to them, Third Uncle, don't worry! I will find a market for them."
Shen Xia could see that his third uncle was worried about him.
Make a silk quilt first, and then make it into cloth if that doesn’t work. My father is an engineer, so I’ll see if I can get him to make a manual loom for me, so I can weave cloth directly.
After hearing this, Third Uncle felt relieved and left with the seeds.
When he left, he told Shen Xia to go see his uncle in the afternoon to see if he was free. If he was, he should come over as soon as possible to discuss it.
Shen Xia responded happily.
Finally, only family members were left at home.
Song Jiang felt extremely guilty.
I was angry with Shen Xia yesterday because of this, and today Shen Xia has to solve this problem.
His face looked very ugly and he didn't know how to start talking to Shen Xia.
Song's mother came over and took Shen Xia's hand: "Xia Xia is really amazing, you must be tired! Do you want to take a rest?"
Shen Xia looked at Mother Song's concerned eyes and said, "Not tired."
Then he took out two land deeds from his arms and handed them to Song's mother: "Mother, these are the land deeds, keep them."
Mother Song didn't even open it to look at it, she just put it in her arms.
It was Song Ming who spoke up next to him: "Mom, Xia Xia, write your name on the deed."
Mother Song was startled and quickly took out the deed from her arms, opened it and looked at the name Zhao Yan on it. It was indeed her name.
Then he looked at Shen Xia anxiously: "Xia Xia, mother, you are the head of the family, so just write your name."
But why did Song's mother feel so nervous when she saw her name?
I always worry that something might happen and feel very uneasy.
Song Yun next to him was also surprised. I remember mother said that the title deed should be written in Shen Xia’s name, but when she went to apply for it, it was written in mother’s name.
There really are people in this world who treat money as nothing.
I couldn't help but look at her again.
Is it
No matter what she said before, that only children make choices, and adults want everything.
It seems that I should find some free time to talk to her alone later.
Xiaotian came over and said, "Sister, you are so good at quarreling, can you teach me?"
Shen Xia pinched his face and said, "Arguing is a woman's thing. How can a man learn to argue?"
"Oh, then what should the man learn?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
"Etiquette, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics are the six arts of a gentleman. These are what boys should learn." Shen Xia looked at Xiaowu and Xiaotian beside him.
"Oh, okay, I believe whatever you say, sister." Xiao Wu looked at Shen Xia with a smile.
Shen Xia thought and looked at Song Yun. It seemed that after Song Yun recovered from his injury, he would let him take Xiao Wu and Xiao Tian to the academy to study. He was not young anymore and could not delay any longer.
Song Yun was at a loss for words when faced with Shen Xia's strange look. Why was she looking at him like that?
Shen Xia saw that everyone was in the yard, so she said to Song Jin, "Let's go! I haven't done acupuncture with you today."
Then he took Song Jin back to his room.
Shen Xia saw that Song Jin's eyes were a little focused, so she stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him.
Song Jin actually grabbed Shen Xia's shaking hand.
Shen Xia was surprised: "Third brother, can you see it?"
Song Jin nodded: "Yeah, it's still very blurry, but I can see the light now."
Shen Xia was very happy: "Then why didn't you say it!"
"I had thought of telling everyone when I could see it clearly, but I didn't expect that you would discover Xia Xia so quickly." Song Jin said with a smile on his face.
"Oh, I see. But you should tell me as soon as you make any progress so that I can know your real-time situation, okay?" Shen Xia said gently.
"Okay." Song Jin agreed after hearing Shen Xia's words.
It didn't take much time to get acupuncture with Song Jin.
