soup at the end... 。"Can you do that""Alright, let's do it that way. We'll make as many of each thing as possible." 。Li Laotai was very satisfied with her daughter-in-law's cooking skills and added:...Li Lao Er found it amusing, but he was also afraid that the two old men would be too delighted and faint again.

He quickly stepped forward, poured tea for the two old gentlemen, and soothed them: “Gentlemen, this matter is only known to our family and the Marquis. Now that you two are involved, please help keep it a secret. For now, it's best not to let too many people know.”

"Ah, yes, yes!" The village head first reacted, excitedly clapping his hands but not daring to use too much force.

"Our village is quite impressive now, with both hot springs and the sale of chilled watermelon. Outsiders must be envious, I bet! If they knew... about this..., they would probably be even more jealous."

Uncle Zhao nodded vigorously.

"It's best to talk about it in two years. After all, we still have two years before the Suijin Tan project begins paying taxes, so there's no need to announce anything prematurely."

"There's also the matter of cantaloupe. Next year, I'll have several villages plant them together. Then they'll all be our people. If they earn more silver and live better lives, it'll only benefit our village, there's no downside to it."

"The emperor's grace is vast!"

Two old men, talking back and forth, didn't need the Li family to join in; they were already having a lively conversation themselves.

Everyone found it amusing, but no one stopped him.

Perhaps it was because the people who came and went in their home were usually officials, daughters of high-ranking scholars, or military nobles that the Li family had grown accustomed to it. They weren't as flustered or fearful as they once were.

But the village head and Zhao Shushu, they couldn't. They had been ordinary people their whole lives, and suddenly, they were flying high like a rocket, soaring to great heights! It was all too sudden, they weren't quite used to it. Their excitement was like being in a dream.

After much effort, everyone managed to appease the two old gentlemen. They then discussed the academy and agreed that each village would send five children to study. Afterward, the two old gentlemen helped each other to their feet and took their leave.

Just as Jia Yin was feeling a little sleepy, she yawned and ran out of the side room. She wanted to go find her grandmother to take a bath and go to sleep.

Two old men hurriedly made way, carefully beckoning, "Funiu, are you tired Quickly come in and sleep!"

Jia Yin blinked her eyes twice, always feeling something was wrong, but she didn't think too much about it. She waved goodbye to the two old men, then climbed the stairs with her short legs and hugged her grandmother's leg.

The old woman picked up her granddaughter, chuckled and kissed her on the cheek, then went into the inner room.

Seeing this, the two old men also went out of the courtyard. They had walked a short distance when their legs still felt weak.

For twenty miles around Suijintan, the other three villages fell under this baby's jurisdiction!

This is simply amazing, unbelievable, and so surprising!

If I told you, no one would believe it!

They, a group of people, fled all the way from the north to here, their greatest fortune being due to a little girl!

The sun rises and the moon sets, time never stops because of the world's excitement or sadness.

Both the Great Linden Tree and the Wangzhuang Estates were delighted upon hearing the news. They quickly each selected five children to send to the academy on Suijin Beach.

Li Zhensheng taught in the school every morning. In the afternoon, he occasionally took a car to town for a stroll.

If you encounter familiar friends or former neighbors, have a cup of tea together and chat casually.

Everyone was delighted to see him recover so quickly.

Li Zhensheng of course couldn't tell the truth, he just said it was doing alright for now, but it also needed to be cultivated in the long term.

People then thought that although he had received good treatment for his illness, it still affected his lifespan.

Especially Wang E being exiled, although the Wang family courtyard was sold to Li Zhensheng, those previous shops and Sihai Ju were also ruined. Now, Li Zhensheng is just a lone wolf.

Thus thinking, the crowd felt a few more points of sympathy...

Li Zhensheng, also riding the wave of sympathy, began to subtly hint at his plans to start a new business.

Some people advised him, others supported him, and no one doubted that he had ulterior motives.

When news reached the Wang family that Third Master Wang was coughing up blood in prison, they could no longer bear it.

The next day, the deed was sent to Suijin Beach. The pretext used to hide it from the outside world was that it was compensation for Li Zhensheng from the deceased Wang Lao Ye (Wang the Old Master).

This did cause the people in the city to whisper less about the Wang family in private.

After all, Wang E was banished, and the two children followed Li Zhensheng back to the Li family. The Wang family didn't stop them, and now they are compensating so generously, with a single stroke of five hundred mu of fertile land.

Even if it's acting, it's done very well.

To put it another way, Wang E is not Wang Bo's biological daughter. That's already the utmost one can do.

Li Zhensheng didn't care how the Wang family explained themselves. He turned around and said that there was no one at home to take care of things, so he sold his 500 mu of good farmland to the Liu family and took the silver to go out and start over, making a comeback from the east mountain.

The Wang family, hearing this news, didn't doubt it at all.

When Wang Sanye was released from prison, the Wang family was so busy seeking medical help that they sought out doctors everywhere and even invited imperial physicians to treat him. They had no time left to concern themselves with the Li family's affairs.

And so, life went on at a leisurely pace.

After a previous light snowfall that served as a precursor, a heavy snow finally fell after half a month, barely leaving a layer of white fluff. It gave the world a semblance of winter.

After a busy year, the farmers finally looked forward to the most leisurely season of the year.

Early morning and evening burning stove, ensuring that the big kang in the house is always warm, realizing the ultimate dream of a wife and children having a hot kang head.

The biggest thing that happens in a day is what you eat at noon and what you eat in the evening.

The Suijin Beach was a little different because of the hot spring valleys in the mountains.

Perhaps everyone wants to enjoy the snow and soak in a hot spring, guests flocked to it.

Even Li Lao'er couldn't stand it anymore, breaking his principles and releasing an additional fifty people into the mountain valley each day.

It is advisable to increase staff in the valleys as a precaution. This will allow for more attentive guest care and preparedness for any unforeseen circumstances.

Fortunately, there were no jobs left on the mountain or in the fields, and there were plenty of people in the village to do the work, so there was nothing to worry about.

When Li Lao was free, she missed her sons and grandsons. She decided to take her granddaughter to Luo'an town for a few days.

This evening, the old woman tidied up the coats, pants, and shoes she had sewn for her grandchildren, while Jia Yin quietly sorted through her small treasury.

For a period of time, the lord resided in the village and would occasionally return to the city. Every time he went, he would take her with him.

With no old lady blocking the way, the Marquis spared no expense in providing her with good things!

She had already made over two thousand taels selling melons before, and now she added more than twenty large and small gold ingots, totaling over thirty taels. There were also a dozen solid gold bracelets, as well as all sorts of small jewelry that filled almost an entire box. She even had a large handful of pearls.

In short, Jia Yin was getting more and more excited, her mouth stretched wide in a grin, almost drooling.

The old woman finished packing her bundles and turned around to see her granddaughter clutching her two little piggies, rolling herself into a ball everywhere she went.

She couldn't help but laugh, "This silly girl, what has she thought of again She's sneaking around and enjoying herself like this!"

Although she said so, she hugged her granddaughter and kissed her several times.

Who doesn't love a cheerful child!

"My daughter Funiu is truly blessed. Our family has been experiencing one happy event after another, all thanks to her good fortune. When the New Year arrives, grandma will buy a large, fat pig and have your mother stew meat for you every day."

This is a reminder to Jiayin, there aren't many corn and potatoes left in the space, but the chickens, ducks, geese, sheep, and those dozen or so piglets are all big eaters.

She needs to deal with those early on, otherwise she'll be eaten out of house and home.gave birth to a baby girl!""Good, good!" Mr. Wen seemed to be overjoyed, rushing forward in three or two steps.Tao Hongying was just about to hand him the blanket when he bypassed her and rushed into...
