Chapter 1016 Good Relationship
Soon, Minjie brought back news from Tianzao.
Maybe there was none to begin with, or maybe it was because it rained heavily for two days.
In short, we can no longer rely on Tianzao.
Lu Miao breathed a sigh of relief and could only wait for news from Hu Zhiyuan.
During this period, the silkworms raised by Lu Miao shed their grayish-white skin and successfully entered the third instar.
After another ten days or so, and after the next two stages, the silkworms will be able to spin cocoons.
Chen Guifen looked at the two sieves of white silkworms she was tending and said:
"There are plenty of mulberry leaves outside this season, why do you only have so few? What can these few do?"
Lu Miao smiled and carried the small basket, slowly putting fresh mulberry leaves into the sieve and said:
"I just want to try making a fan for fun. I'm not sure if it will turn out well! I'll just get a few silk cocoons to practice on. If I can't make it, I won't do it anymore. It will save me the trouble and waste."
Chen Guifen nodded thoughtfully, feeling strange.
In the past, Chen Guifen raised silkworms in her spare time and occasionally made some household chores.
But can the cocoons made by silkworms be used to make fans?
This was the first time Chen Guifen heard of it.
Making fans...
Wouldn't it be better to use a spinning wheel to spin the thread first and then spin the satin?
What else can we do?
In the past, Lu Miao had studied many strange things, such as composting and rice fish.
But when it comes to novelty, Chen Guifen feels that this is the most novel thing. After thinking about it, she said:
"It will take at least half a month for these silkworms to spin cocoons. I have a small bag of ready-made cocoons. Do you want some?"
Do you want it?
Of course!
Lu Miao took out the mulberry leaves from the bottom of the basket, spread them flat on the sieve, and said quickly:
"Yes! Auntie, I'll go home with you and get it now!"
Chen Guifen was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile:
"Why so urgent?"
"Urgent, extremely urgent! Auntie, if I had known you had it ready, I wouldn't have taken so long..."
Lu Miao was in the mood for DIY and couldn't wait a moment.
He immediately put down the small basket, took Chen Guifen's hand and said coquettishly:
"Oh, Auntie, hurry up! We'll get it now!"
Chen Guifen laughed and had to take her back to the He family to get it.
The silk cocoons that Chen Guifen has in her hands were raised a while ago.
At that time, there was a lot of work to do in the fields, and I couldn't handle it all at once, so I saved it.
Generally, after a silkworm makes a cocoon, it will break out in as little as seven or eight days if the temperature is just right.
Chen Guifen boiled the cocoons in water for fear that it would be difficult to reel the silk after the cocoons broke.
They were dried under the scorching sun that day, then bagged and hung up for storage.
When he arrived at the He family, he took the cloth bag that Chen Guifen took down from the hook on the beam and took a look at it.
After making sure it was still usable, Lu Miao took the things home and started working.
She had wild ideas and came up with whatever she wanted. She went home, found an axe and went to the backyard.
I originally wanted to cut some bamboo and make a fan frame.
But even though Lu Miao was clumsy, he could still do the job of cutting bamboo.
When it came to splitting bamboo strips and making fan frames, she felt helpless and didn't know where to start.
Fu Jingyou came back from the fields for lunch. When he got home, he saw her with a few dry bamboo leaves on her head, a hatchet in her hand, and a troubled look on her face.
Looking at the fallen bamboo and then at his wife with a bitter face, Fu Jingyou asked in confusion:
"What's wrong? Why are you cutting bamboo for no reason?"
"Brother You, it's just right that you're back!"
Lu Miao seemed to have seen a savior, and quickly ran up to the child's father and said:
"I need a fan frame! It's made by splitting bamboo into strips, then forming them into a circle, and then having a handle... Oh, it's that round fan I saw at the cultural center before, I want a frame like that!"
Fu Jingyou understood what she meant and plucked the leaves from her hair and said:
"Okay, I'll go wash my hands and come back later."
He said, leading her into the house:
"Next time when I come back, don't go to the bamboo forest by yourself. No one has been active in this area of our home for a long time. You can't be sure if there are snakes hiding there."
At that time, Lu Miao was only thinking about DIY and had not really considered this aspect.
Now that Fu Jingyou mentioned it, Lu Miao thought about it seriously, and the hairs on his back couldn't help but stand up.
She nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice, but said stubbornly:
"If there really was a snake, wouldn't it still bite you if you were there?"
Fu Jingyou raised his eyebrows:
"How can it be the same?"
Lu Miao curled his lips and glared at him unhappily:
"Why is it different? You have thick skin, right? You are not afraid of being bitten."
"Damn it."
Fu Jingyou laughed and shook his head, telling the truth:
"I grew up in the countryside. I'm definitely more familiar with this area than you are. If there really is a snake, I can spot it."
Lu Miao felt that what he said made sense, so he stopped talking.
She just raised her chin to let him bend down, and she held the handle of the water pump, pumping out cool water to wash his arms and face.
Tian Guihua poked her head out from the back door of the kitchen:
"The food is on the table, hurry up, you two!"
"Hey, here it comes!"
Lu Miao responded quickly, turned around and said to Fu Jingyou:
"Eat first, and then we'll do it after dinner!"
Fu Jingyou nodded, waved his hand and followed her into the house.
Hearing no sound coming from the kitchen, I knew that Tian Guihua must have gone to the front hall.
Fu Jingyou's eyes flickered slightly, and he laughed and shouted:
"Wait a moment."
"Um?"
Lu Miao turned his head and pecked her fair face, then took her hand and said:
"Nothing, you can keep going."
Lu Miao feigned anger and glared at him, then stepped over the threshold and said:
"You're so frivolous, aren't you afraid of being seen by my second sister-in-law and aunt?"
Fu Jingyou's eyes were filled with a tender smile, and he accepted the scolding obediently with the corners of his lips curved.
In the summer breeze, his voice was deep and low when he chuckled, and it was particularly gentle and pleasant.
Lu Miao teased him coquettishly, then quietly curled the corners of her lips and said nothing more.
After dinner, the jujube tree in front of the door provided a cool shade. Fu Jingyou split the forks and used the bamboo to split the bamboo strips.
Lu Miao watched from the side, occasionally pointing and gesturing.
After the fan frame was finished, she couldn't sit still and kept tinkering around in and out of the house.
Sometimes you have to light the stove, sometimes you have to find a suitable small jar to boil the cocoons to soften them, and so on.
Fu Jingyou followed her around, running around to get her everything she needed.
The uncles and aunts who came to visit and chat saw this and said jokingly:
"Look at these two...they're always tossing and turning, like children who haven't grown up yet."
Chen Guifen glanced at the couple who were busy and happy in the room, and said with a smile:
"Young couple, they have a good relationship and are young! They just love to mess around!"
The uncles and aunts nodded in agreement.
When it comes to a good relationship, the Fu couple is truly impeccable.
Especially Xiaoliu, apart from working, he just keeps revolving around his wife.
He wanted to hold his wife up in praise and worship her.
There are men in the countryside who love their wives.
But it's very rare for the pain to be this severe.
