Mrs. Qin said a few more words of apology, took off the ancestral ruby ​​bracelet on her hand, forced it on Qiao Ran as an apology, and then hurried away.

This rose-red jade bracelet was passed down to Mrs. Qin from her mother, who got it from her maternal grandmother. She doesn’t know how many generations it has been passed down.

Mrs. Qin originally planned to pass this bracelet to her daughter, but unfortunately she did not give birth to a daughter, so she planned to pass it to her only granddaughter Qin Yuelan.

But who knew that this granddaughter was so unsatisfactory and disappointing to her, so she would rather give it to her cousin granddaughter.

After apologizing to Qiao Ran, Mrs. Qin hurried back to the house, immediately called Qin Yuelan who was hiding in the boudoir, and scolded her severely.

She was even ordered to be grounded in the courtyard for three months, and she was also ordered to copy the female precepts 300 times.

Qin Yuelan did not expect that her grandmother, who had always loved her, would suddenly be so strict with her. As the only granddaughter of the Qin family, she had always been quite favored in the house.

But what she didn't know was that the reason why she was favored was not just because she was the only granddaughter of Marquis Jing'an, but also because she had behaved very well and obediently in the past and had not brought any trouble to the house, so everyone was willing to favor her.

But if a well-behaved person suddenly becomes rebellious and disobedient, people who liked her before will definitely be even more disappointed.

Qin Yuelan, who was being punished, was about to plead for mercy when she looked up and saw that the ruby ​​bracelet on her grandmother's hand that she had been thinking about for a long time was missing.

Guessing a possibility, her face changed, and she felt angry and hateful.

After leaving the General's Mansion just now, she and her mother took a carriage and left first. After walking not far, she saw from the car window that her grandmother in the carriage behind her got out of the carriage and entered the General.

That ruby ​​bracelet must have been given to that smelly girl named Qiao Ran by her grandmother!

That was what my grandmother was planning to pass on to me! How could it be given to an outsider?

Grandma is too partial to that smelly girl, right? Even after they left the house, they went back to give the ancestral jade bracelet to that smelly girl.

She is so angry! She hates it so much!

Qiao Ran didn't know how precious this ruby ​​bracelet was. There were more precious treasures in her space than this.

It was just the elder's gift that she couldn't refuse, so she accepted this ruby ​​bracelet with a reddish color and a warm color.

However, I often have to work, and it is not suitable to wear these fragile and jingling jewelry, so I put it in the space.

After declining the offer from her grandma, grandpa and others to stay, Qiao Ran drove the carriage back to the village with her mother and the others.

Seeing the silkworm babies growing up day by day, and the two newly built tents containing silk reeling cars, weaving cars and other tools, Qiao Ran didn't want to build any more new tents, so she decided to put these silkworms in the already built new house. To raise.

Thanks to the joint efforts of craftsmen, helpers and everyone in the two houses some time ago, the progress of building houses in Devil's Valley has been much faster.

The houses of the Qiao family and the old village chief's family are almost completed, as are the houses of several surrounding families.

The first entrance to Qiao's courtyard is several wing rooms and several houses for raising livestock.

Nowadays, the stables, pig pens, sheep pens, chicken coops and cattle pens are still empty for the time being.

Several side rooms were originally used to store sundries and serve as servants' rooms, so Qiao Ran decided to use them to raise silkworms.

So everyone in the village worked together to help, cleaning up the rooms where Qiao's family entered the yard, and moved the silkworm babies raised in the tents to the new houses.

The men went to chop a lot of bamboo. There were bamboo poles on long benches, and bamboo sieves with holes were placed on the bamboo poles. They spread a layer of mulberry leaves, and then placed the chubby silkworm babies on the mulberry leaves.

The white and fat silkworm babies, about the size of chopstick heads, lay on the bamboo sieve and rustled mulberry leaves, and then the small dark green feces they excreted leaked through the holes of the bamboo sieve to the bottom. .

A layer of oilcloth was laid underneath to collect the feces of these silkworms.

These are the famous traditional Chinese medicine silkworm excrement, which can not only dispel wind and remove dampness, but also harmonize the stomach and resolve turbidity, treat metrorrhagia, vomiting and diarrhea, and turn tendons.

Qiao Ran decided to collect the silkworm excrement. First, it could be sold in a drugstore for money. Second, it could be taken to a pond to feed fish, or buried under a mulberry tree to be used as fertilizer.

In short, it is a treasure not to be wasted.

Rows of bamboo shelves were also placed in the house. The bamboo was cut into long pieces and turned into bamboo climbing frames that were put on the bamboo shelves.

When these silkworm babies are about to spin silk, put them on the climbing frame. By then, the climbing frame will be filled with oval-shaped silkworm cocoons.

Because there are many helpers who help build houses in Devil's Valley and people's hearts are complicated, the sericulture wing is locked and only the Qiao family can enter and exit.

So the villagers put the picked mulberry leaves at the entrance of Qiao's courtyard so that they could take them in and feed the silkworms.

The people of Qingshui Village have been vigorously planting fruit trees for more than a month. Various fruit trees have been planted on the divided hillsides around the valley.

Qiao Ran is well aware of the dangers of mudslides, and has already asked the old village chief to inform everyone that when planting fruit trees, they cannot cut down all the trees on the mountainous land allocated to them.

Before the fruit trees grow up, attention should be paid to retaining large trees, shrubs and weeds on the hillside to prevent mudslides.

Qiao Ran brought out a batch of fruit trees every few days, and everyone planted them enthusiastically without feeling tired at all.

Compared with the hard, tired and hungry days when Qiao Ran was still unconscious when she was escaping from famine, now the good days of eating well, living well and sleeping soundly have made the people of Qingshui Village extremely satisfied. .

In this kind of hopeful day where we can see a better life in the future and be full of hope, no matter how hard or tiring it is, it doesn't matter.

Spring is a rainy season, but also a season full of hope.

Once the fruit trees are planted, they will soon flourish with the nourishment of rainwater.

Silkworms and fish have been raised, and crops and fruit trees have been planted. Next, it is time to buy some chickens, ducks, pigs, and sheep and raise them so that they can have meat to eat by the end of the year.

There are chickens, ducks, sheep and rabbits in Qiao Ran's space yard, but no pigs.

Because raising pigs was too dirty and smelly, and she couldn't eat a pig by herself, she didn't bother to raise them.

Nowadays, a large family has to raise at least two or three big fat pigs, and they can kill the pigs at the end of the year.

Qiao Ran asked the helpers where they could buy piglets, and she found out that in Yangliu Village on the outskirts of Beijing, a sow from a family named Yang had just given birth to a litter of ten piglets.

Hearing that she was going to buy piglets, the villagers also asked her to help buy them, so the trendy people decided to buy all ten piglets.

Qiao Ran drove a carriage to Dayang Village and found out about the family named Yang Shugen.
