The reborn peasant girl has space for farming

Chapter 946: Visiting the Silkworm Master
Bai Meixi used explosives to blow up the big rocks outside the door twice a day. In addition to building sheep pens, the obtained gravel also paved a crossroad, connecting her residence, major warehouses and Aunt Liu's residence. Gradually, there were It looks like a small community.

She brought the water from the spiritual spring and surrounded it around the master bedroom. The way the stream surrounded it was very much like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

The land in the space is also getting larger and larger, and all the cultivated land is cultivated land, which can be used to expand cotton cultivation. The original two acres of land will become twenty acres of land.

"Boss, the cotton in the field is ripe. I want to take advantage of the good weather today to harvest all the cotton in the field."

Aunt Liu knew that Bai Meixi was waiting for money. As soon as she saw that the cotton in the field was ripe, she hurried over to report it, for fear that it would delay her business.

"Collect them all, keep some for your own use, and put the rest into sacks."

Bai Meixi came to the cotton field. The cotton balls in the space grew very large, like white cauliflowers hanging from the branches. The yield was much higher than Bai Meixi expected.

Everyone in the space worked hard and picked all the cotton after a busy afternoon. Bai Meixi had someone put it on the scale and weighed it. It was a full 1200 kilograms, 200 kilograms more than originally expected. It was a breakthrough in history. Recorded results.

"Boss, I have never seen such a big ball of cotton outside before. Moreover, this cotton feels very good, and it actually feels a little smooth like silk."

Aunt Liu felt warm in her heart as she held those cottons. With these things, she could make a few more good quilts for her two sons to use when they got married, and there would still be a lot left over.

"Aunt Liu, you have to go back and ask your sister-in-law where there are mulberry trees. We need to transplant a few trees into the space and start officially raising silkworms and spinning silk."

Bai Meixi inquired about Puhai for several days, but could not find a place with mulberry trees. She could only entrust the matter to Aunt Liu. Since her sister-in-law came from a noble family, she must know where to find the best things.

If this thing can be done, I will be grateful.

"No problem, boss, I'll ask her right away. If she knew she could work for the boss, she would be so happy that she died."

Aunt Liu did not dare to delay, and followed the Baimeixi Gate out of the space that afternoon. This was the gate of Baimeixi's hometown, just around the county bus station. Aunt Liu immediately took the bus to the next county, and found her brother directly before evening. Daughter-in-law’s house.

This is a small courtyard on the edge of a small town, with only two rooms and a small courtyard of about ten square meters. The houses and courtyards are dilapidated and look like dangerous buildings that may collapse at any time.

After not seeing her for a while, the situation at her home got even worse. The family could no longer even afford shoes, and they were still wearing straw sandals in such cold weather.

"Brother and sister, how can you wear such shoes? Your feet will freeze."

Aunt Liu felt particularly distressed when she saw the situation at her brother's house. In the past, they couldn't help because they were incompetent, but now that her family's situation is easy to pretend, they naturally help whenever they can.

She quickly took out ten kilograms of cotton and more than ten meters of coarse cloth from the sack, and took out two kilograms of dried pork and more than ten kilograms of refined rice from another basket, all of which Bai Meixi gave to her sister-in-law. Meeting gift.

"Take these things and make some warm clothes and shoes. How will you survive this winter if you continue like this?"

Aunt Liu's voice was choked with sobs, and she felt that she had arrived too late. If she had taken more care of her, her brother and sister-in-law would not have been in such a state of despair.

"Sister-in-law, how can I accept such expensive things? This cotton is a good thing now. Even if you have a ticket, you can't buy it. And this rice and roasted pork. We haven't seen such good things in many years. Now." When my sister-in-law saw the cotton, she felt that Aunt Liu had made a fortune outside during this period. She could easily take out even ten pounds of cotton and ten meters of coarse cloth.

Not to mention other things, exquisite rice and roast pork, which the wealthy families in the town have not seen for many years.

"It's all given by my employer. How can I have so much money? How is my brother's illness? Why does he look so ugly?"

Aunt Liu walked into the back room and took a look at her brother. His face was pale and he looked like he was out of breath.The whole person fell sickly on the bed, unable to do anything.

After seeing Aunt Liu, two lines of hot tears flowed from his eyes. He moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but before he could speak, it turned into a violent cough.

"Why are you so sick? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Aunt Liu touched her brother's quilt and discovered that his quilt was so thin and transparent that it was the only quilt in their family.

When other people go to bed at night, they take turns to cover themselves with quilts, or they sleep together in arms to keep each other warm. But even so, they still cannot withstand the increasingly cold winter, and naturally the disease cannot be cured.

"Have you been to the hospital? I still have some money here. You can use it to see a doctor."

Aunt Liu took out all the money she had, but she only had about ten yuan. She put all the money into her sister-in-law's hands and asked her to take good care of her brother's medical treatment. She would send money again in the future.

"Sister, I'm afraid his father's illness cannot be cured."

Aunt Liu's sister-in-law burst into tears. A few months ago, Aunt Liu's brother had a fever and cough. At first, he thought he would be able to resist it for a few days, but unexpectedly he developed tuberculosis.

There is no specific medicine for this disease in this era. You can only rely on good food and drink to nourish your body, hoping to make your body strong and survive this disease.

"How could it be consumption!"

Aunt Liu was also shocked when she heard this. Her grandfather died of tuberculosis. I heard that her family was still well off at that time. She also consulted a Western doctor and spent most of the family's wealth to no avail. Now she This little money is simply a drop in the bucket.

She looked at her seriously ill brother and could do nothing to help him except shed tears.

"Sister, I'm not going to hide it from you. If something happens to the baby's father, I will have no choice but to remarry. I have already found families for these children and the younger ones. Only the eldest brother is older because he is older. I'm afraid that he won't be well-raised and no one will want him. If I can't take him away after remarrying, I'll bother my sister so I can give him a full meal."

Aunt Liu's sister-in-law cried more and more. Now that their family did not have three meals a day to eat, they could only live day by day. She had to plan for her children and find a way for them to survive.

The other children were all sent to families who had no children and would definitely survive in the future. Only their eldest son, who was only nine years old, had not yet found a family. His future life would be difficult and he would have nowhere to go.
