He immediately quickened his pace, and went inside, only to see a few gray fluttering moths fluttering in the dustpan, on the yellowish linen, which looked like butterflies, but not as beautiful as butterflies, like moths, but larger than ordinary moths.

Momoichi looked at it with wide eyes and said, "Will they fly away?" ”

Lin Yi smiled: "No, they are very bulky and won't fly away." ”

At this moment, Lin Lu, Lin Jia, Wu Shi, and Lin Qiao heard Lin Yi's voice, and they also ran in, looking at these moths that had just broken out of their cocoons, and even the kitten they had raised before followed in.

The kitten was surprised to see the moth in the dustpan, and with a pair of bright eyes, and its paws picking at the plank underneath, it was about to fly over and pounce on the moth.

Lin Yi hurriedly hugged it and said, "You little guy, those moths are not your food, you should go out and play quickly." ”

With that, Lin Yi threw the kitten out of the door, and then closed the door with his hand.

Outside, the kitten still wanted to come in, and slashed the door with its paws, and meowed while planing.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Yi said: "You have to pay attention in the future, don't let the kitten in." ”

Lin Qiao looked surprised and said, "Third sister, these moths are so cute, you can see their bellies are round." ”

Lin Yi smiled: "That's because they have a lot of eggs in their stomachs, and when the eggs are born, after a while, they will become baby silkworms." ”

Lin Qiao clapped her hands and applauded, she reached out and pulled Lin Yi's sleeve, and said, "Third sister, when the baby silkworms come out, I'll take care of them, okay?" ”

Wu reached out and touched Lin Qiao's little head, and said with a smile: "You, don't make a mess, I heard that this silkworm is very difficult to raise, otherwise, why would no one in our Linjia Village raise it." ”

Lin Qiao pursed his lips, a little aggrieved, but Lin Yi smiled and said: "Our family Qiaoqiao can also do it, when the time comes, let the second brother weave a small dustpan for you, and the third sister will give you twenty pieces to raise, okay?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Lin Qiao immediately clapped his hands and jumped up excitedly.

Lin Lu on the side also looked at it strangely, and said, "Yiyi, this moth is so small, how many eggs can it lay?" ”

Lin Yi smiled: "A female moth can lay four hundred to five hundred silkworm eggs. ”

"Wow, such a small moth can lay so many silkworm eggs! Then there are one, two, three, four, five moths, and they can give birth to ......."

Lin Qiao counted with his fingers, but the result couldn't be calculated.

Lin Lu has been learning bookkeeping during this time, so the addition and subtraction algorithms are quite proficient.

Lin Lu said: "Those five moths can lay 2,000 to 2,500 silkworm eggs." ”

Lin Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not necessarily, among these five moths, I don't know how many are female moths and how many are male moths, only female moths will have silkworm eggs, and male moths will not lay eggs." ”

"Oh." Everyone suddenly realized, and Lin Lu asked, "It turns out that this moth is also divided into female and male." “

Lin Qiao pouted and said, "Then I really hope that these moths are all female moths, so that they can lay the most eggs." ”

Lin Yi smiled: "This is not good, if there is no male moth, the eggs laid by the female moth are also empty eggs, and they cannot become baby silkworms." ”

As soon as Lin Yi's words came out, everyone present, except for Lin Qiao, all blushed, and they were silent for a while, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.
