"Zongde has a beautiful sister, right?" Zhiyuan suddenly asked when he remembered the situation when he met Zongde in Nanjing.
"No wow." Shi Yu replied, "His parents are his only child. Where did his sister come from? However, he once had an aunt who was very beautiful, not much older than him, and passed away a few years ago." Shi Rain replied.
"That's in Nanjing..." Zhiyuan wanted to tell what he saw in Nanjing, but he didn't think it was appropriate, so he stopped talking.
"Then what?" Shigure asked.
"Uh, nothing, I remembered it wrong." Zhiyuan changed his words.
"What are you hiding from me?" Shigure asked.
"No, no." Suddenly, Zhiyuan changed the subject and said, "Shiyu, do you have to do mulberry planting and silkworm breeding? Planting mulberry, sericulture, cocooning, silk reeling, spinning, brocade, many processes , And every process is very technical, can you do it?"
“Start with a smaller scale and fewer processes, and only grow mulberry, raise silkworms and sell cocoons. When you have a certain scale and earn money, you will add more processes and expand the scale.” Shi Yu said.
"If you want to engage in mechanical silk reeling and weaving in the future, I can help you." Zhiyuan said.
"At that time, I really want to come to see you." Shi Yu said.
"I have a distant relative named Qin Dachuan, who grew mulberry and sericulture in Zhejiang Province as early as last spring. An unexpected snowstorm froze the mulberry trees to death and made him unable to recover. If your production needs, I can introduce you to be an agricultural technician."
"Wow, that's really a charcoal in the snow, I can't ask for it!" Shiyu said happily.
"Zhiyuan, it's been more than a year since my sister-in-law passed away, so let's get married." Shiyu said concerned.
"No." Zhiyuan said firmly.
"Why?" Shigure asked.
"For you." Zhiyuan said affectionately.
"Why for me?" Shigure asked inexplicably.
"I only have you in my heart, and I can't pretend to be another woman." Zhiyuan said frankly: "Marrying the previous wife, do you know how hard it took, how much trouble, and how tired my father was? I did it all to live up to my father. My wish, for the dignity of my father, do my duty to marry and have children. There cannot be a second time. I can only wait for you."
"Why are you waiting for me?" Shigure asked suspiciously.
"First of all, I wish you and Zongde live together and live a happy life. If, I am talking about if," Zhiyuan said earnestly: "If your marriage with Zongde has two shortcomings in the future, please don't refuse me."
"What if there is no such an'if'?" Shigure said worriedly.
"Then I won't marry for the rest of my life." Zhiyuan said firmly.
"Is it worth it? Zhiyuan." Shi Yu was moved to tears. She grabbed Zhiyuan's hand and said affectionately: "This opportunity is only known to God!"
"Shigure, I really can't live without you." He said, holding Shigure tightly.
"Zhiyuan, let go, we can't do this-let's go with the flow!"
Zhiyuan released his hand and looked up at the sky, but he saw that the moon was so round and so bright. He adjusted his mentality and said, "Tomorrow I am leaving, Shigure, I have something to ask you."
"You said, as long as I can do it, I will do my best." Shi Yu said.
"I have a younger sister named Lingzhi. She married to the Xia family in the second half of the previous year. Her husband died in less than a month. My father wanted to bring her back, but the Xia family refused. Please think of something."
"Don't worry, I will do it with all my heart." Shiyu promised.
