Sericulture

Note one

I remember that on the day of the end of April, 38 silkworms were born. They are like tiny black rice, quietly lying on the green mulberry leaves. When I touched them with the tip of the brush, they immediately twisted and looked scared. I gently said to the silkworms: "Welcome to the Congcong family!" I was really happy at the time. In a few days, the silkworms all died. When my mother told me, I didn't believe that they were all dead. They took another week to throw them away. It was really sad and decided not to raise silkworms. Mother said that there may be several reasons why silkworms will leave us: one is that mulberry leaves may be poisonous; the other is that the temperature of the balcony is high, the silkworms are like the shade, and the third is probably the weather change this year, the silkworms are not good. survive. Oh, it’s bad luck! My poor silkworms!

Note two

After a week or so, the road gave me some silkworms, some of them are particularly large, 3 cm long; some 1.5 cm more; others are only about 0.5 cm, I have to carefully count each change of mulberry leaves Come and count, worry about losing. After two days, two small ones died, and I heard that other silkworms also died. This year's silkworms can be difficult to raise. At this time, my mother suggested that we divide the whole family and work together to manage the remaining 20 silkworms. Dad is responsible for 4 small ones, my mother is responsible for 10 medium-sized ones, and I am responsible for 6 large ones. They are divided into 3 different color shoe boxes. My father and mother are responsible for the silkworms in their respective boxes, mainly feeding, changing mulberry leaves, cleaning silkworm dung, and counting silkworms. In this way, the whole family raises the silkworm together, and there is a special owner who is responsible for it. The silkworm baby never dies again, and each one is born in vain. Every morning after getting up, after lunch, and before going to bed at night, we will gather in front of 3 boxes to observe the silkworms.

Note three

Once, I found that a silkworm baby didn't move very much. He looked like he was dying. After a while, he left the mulberry leaves and began to twist his body. Then I found that its head smashed down a small shell. Mom said that Wouldn't it be to be sued? My mother and I squatted on the floor and observed together. Then I found that the silkworm's tail began to have wrinkled skin, twisting the body for a while, rest for a while, then continue to twist the body, then rest for a while, just like this, for more than an hour, the skin on the body is a little bit to the tail Going, I finally smashed the dark brown skin and turned it into a white and tender silkworm! The silkworm baby can be really hard, even the mink has to work so hard, when a shell is dragged at the tail, my mother and I clap to congratulate it, the silkworm is awesome! Last year, I watched the process of silkworm silky crusting with my mother. This year, I can personally observe the process of molting. It really has a big harvest!

Every day, my father and mother carefully take care of the silkworms. The mulberry leaves from the freezer must be cleaned with a clean cloth. Pick the tender leaves for the small silkworm, then tear the leaves into small pieces and put them in each. In the box. The silkworms are very healthy now. The silkworm cocoons are white, yellow and light orange. We will continue to take care of the silkworms. Through this year's sericulture, I understand: you take care of the silkworms carefully, they will grow up healthily, and if they don't take care of the silkworms, they will leave. The same is true for doing things. As long as it is really paid, it will be rewarded and there will be no luck.
