The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 281 I have some clues
The summer vacation days in Zhuangzi were extremely pleasant. Occasionally, the brothers Li Rongzhong and Li Rongyu would take a break from their busy schedules to stay here for a few days, bringing with them the latest and most interesting things in the city.

As for Li Rongzhang, the school had a one-month summer vacation, so he naturally came to live in this farm and studied all kinds of things every day.

The people in the dry fields on the farm were busy harvesting corn, threshing and drying it. Old Man Li and Old Man Song couldn't sit still, so they asked people to bring corn to rub it to pass the time while listening to Li Rongzhang's loud reading voice.

Pomegranate doesn't care how they entertain themselves, as long as they have fun.

She was not idle on the farm. She would draw pictures, play chess, and visit the milk powder workshop on the farm.

Dazaozhuang originally raised twenty or thirty sheep. Later, when Shiliu took over the farm, he instructed the head of the farm to keep all the lambs and not sell them. He also bought a lot of sheep. Now there are seventy or eighty sheep.

The mountainous area on the farm is vast, so it is no problem to raise hundreds of sheep. Shi Liu instructed the head of the village to do so with this goal in mind.

Of course, raising pigs is also indispensable. The farm originally raised more than 20 pigs a year, and the number has increased this year.

There are pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks, and the most feared thing is plague. Fortunately, the people on the farm are also very careful about these things. Shi Liu also explained in detail that the pig pens and sheep pens must be cleaned every day and kept clean. When the weather is hot, the pigs must be fed some heat-reducing and cooling foods.

If we talk about what pigs like to eat the most, it is watermelon rind. Dazaozhuang is not to mention it, but Erlizhuang has several acres of watermelon planted. When Shi Liu's family came to the village, the watermelons picked from Erlizhuang were sent here. There were so many watermelons that they could not be eaten up every day. So Shi Liu was generous and sent watermelons to the workshop workers every other day as an afternoon snack to cool them down and quench their thirst.

The watermelon rinds eaten here in the village are fed to the pigs.

On this day, people from Erli Village brought watermelons again, and it was Village Head Jiang who came in person.

When Shi Liu saw that he came in person, her eyebrows moved and she called him into the small hall to talk alone.

Jiang Zhuangtou bowed and said, "Miss, I have a clue about what you asked me to do."

Shi Liu was immediately excited and said, "Tell me about it quickly."

The head of Jiangzhuang said, "I have traveled all over Luoshui City in the past two months. I finally lived up to your expectations and selected several families that best meet your requirements."

"The first family is the Yu family in Luoshui City, who started out by making wax. I think you have heard of this, young lady. Whether it is temples, Taoist temples or private individuals in and outside Luoshui City, the wax used is all produced by the Yu family. After several generations, the Yu family has a rich family business.

It's a pity that Mr. Yu of this generation only has one son and one daughter. The daughter is healthy, but the son has been sick since he was a child. I heard that they even invited doctors from the state capital to see him, and they all said that he would not live long and would not live past twenty. After seeing the doctors many times, the Yu family accepted their fate and are now planning to find a daughter-in-law for their son to inherit the family line!"

"What else?" Shi Liu eliminated the Yu family without thinking.

The Yu family sounds troublesome. Although she won't have to wait long if she doesn't live past the age of 20, it will be troublesome for her to divorce or become a widow if she chooses this family. It is better to rule them out.

Jiang Zhuangtou didn't know why the girl wanted him to check all this, but when he heard that the girl didn't want to hear more about the Yu family, he quickly moved on to the next family.

"The second family is a family named Niu in Hehua Village under the jurisdiction of Datong Town. There is a sickly child in the Niu family who is well-known far and wide. The reason why he is famous is because Niu Cheng is smart. It is said that he could recite poems at the age of three and recite essays at the age of five. He is extremely smart.

It's a pity that he has had poor health since he was young, otherwise, he would have passed the imperial examination and become a scholar long ago. His father was a scholar, and his younger brother also passed the imperial examination this year, and he was in the top three. There would be no problem for him to pass the imperial examination. People shook their heads and said with regret when they talked about Niu Cheng, saying that if he was in good health, the Niu family would definitely have three scholars in one family!" "There is another family in a village not far from our village. Their surname is Huang. The woman gave birth to several daughters before she got this son, but the son was born with defects. He has been taking medicine since he was born. I heard that he hardly went to the fields all year round. He lived in sickness for more than ten years, and it also cost a lot of money. Fortunately, the family is relatively well-off, and the daughters all married well, otherwise they really couldn't support him."

"The last family is also from Luoshui City. Compared with the previous ones, their family background is a little less. They have been making tofu for generations. When the boy was a child, he got hurt in a fight and has been bedridden ever since. I heard that he coughs a lot, so much so that he can cough up blood. The family wanted to find him a wife as soon as possible to carry on the family line, but unfortunately, when others heard about his situation, they avoided him."

"That's all." The girl wanted a sickly man and one from a well-off family. After much selection, he found only these few families that met his requirements. There were many sickly men, but most of them were so poor that they had no clothes to wear because they had to take medicine all year round.

After hearing about these cases, Shi Liu decided to rule out the last one first. Coughing up blood? Could it be tuberculosis?

The Niu family and the Huang family sound just OK.

She had to go and see for herself to know the details. After all, this was a big deal and she couldn't be careless.

Shi Liu immediately asked Jiang Zhuangtou to go back and focus on the affairs of these two families, and she would go and take a look herself when she had time.

-

After June, we entered July. Although it was still very hot, it became cooler in the mornings and evenings and was not so unbearable.

After spending a month at the farm to escape the summer heat, the family returned to Xiahe Village.

As soon as they got home, Old Yuan and Old Man Li went to the old house immediately. Wan had given birth to a boy a few days ago. This was also the second great-grandson of the couple.

Song also packed up and then went to the old house to deliver brown sugar, cloth and other things.

Afterwards, I attended several restaurants' third-day-birthday celebrations and full-month celebrations, and was really busy.

Shi Liu was also busy, busy paying wages to the workshop workers and busy checking the accounts of various places. Now that the business has grown, Jiang Bing, Jiang Tong, Tian Li and Lu Dong have all been promoted to general managers. One is responsible for the accounts of the food workshop, one is responsible for the accounts of the sheep workshop, one is responsible for the accounts of the children's playhouse and the herbal medicine restaurant, and one is responsible for the accounts of the candy shop, each with his own responsibilities.

Shi Liu only had to listen to their report on the accounts, and if there were any mistakes, she would of course find them.

In mid-July, Li Jihe, who had stayed in the state capital for several months, also returned with the Song Jinsheng brothers.

After not seeing each other for several months, when Song saw Li Jihe, she cried and laughed, and pulled him aside to ask a lot of questions.

Li Jihe smiled and said, "I'm fine. Look, I've gained weight. But you seem to have lost some weight."

Turning around, he asked about the health of the two old men. Li's face was rosy as he said, "We are fine. We have gone to the farm to escape the summer heat. We can eat and sleep well. Everything is fine. How are you doing in the state capital? Have you almost finished assembling the furniture?"

Li Jihe said, "We are almost done fighting. I'll leave Master to finish the job. It won't take much time. When we get back, we can all go live in the state capital. Dad, you don't know, that house is really big!"

Li Jihe came back, and in the evening the Li Rongzong brothers also came back. All the family members were reunited, and they had a happy reunion dinner in the evening.
