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

Chapter 363 Going Home
All parts of Bingzhou were caught up in the frenzy of clearing out and capturing rebels.

In the streets and alleys, some elderly people couldn't help but recall that the previous emperor also used such a scene to eliminate the rebels.

I just hope that this time these rebels can be completely wiped out. The Jin Dynasty has been peaceful for three dynasties, and the common people don't want any more turmoil.

All the rebel strongholds in Daming Prefecture were cleared out, including those hiding in the government office. All of them were captured. For a time, the prison was almost full.

By this time, it was already the end of February.

Shi Liu had been away from home for more than half a month and was staying in the provincial capital. She had not returned home yet. Just then, Song sent a letter saying that Rongsheng, the clan leader's grandfather's son, had passed the imperial examination and that her eldest sister-in-law Lin was pregnant again. Shi Liu decided to go home first.

During the past half month she has been staying in the city, she has not been idle. She has taken in all the homeless beggars she saw in the streets and alleys of the city, ranging from fourteen or fifteen years old to three or four years old.

It would not be possible to house so many people in the house in Lihua Hutong, so Shi Liu specially bought a house, hung a plaque with the words "Chaoyang Charity Home", and registered all the children.

A couple was transferred from Da Nanzhuang to manage the affairs, as well as a martial artist to teach them martial arts to strengthen their bodies. An old student was hired to teach them how to read and an old embroiderer was hired to teach the girls embroidery.

This is it for now, and we will gradually improve it later.

Shi Liu also carefully selected the person in charge. The couple is middle-aged, but because they are infertile, they have never had children of their own, so they love children the most.

Only those who love children like this will not be harsh on them.

Moreover, she has an 'undercover' inside. As long as there are any child abuse or other messy things happening in the orphanage, Qingfeng and Mingyue will secretly write it down and tell her.

The same applies if there is a child with evil intentions.

Da Nan Zhuang was the manor that Liu Dongjia gave her when she was given the blueprint of Lu Ban Lock. It was not far from the city. She had taken a good look at it this time.

The Da Nan Village has two hundred acres of mountainous land, and many sheep were raised there before. Shi Liu asked the village head to raise more sheep and not sell the lambs born by the ewes, but to keep them all.

Of course, pigs, chickens and ducks are also indispensable.

There are many farmers in Da Nan Village, nearly eighty households and more than four hundred workers. They are idle outside the busy farming season anyway. If they produce more and make more money, the farmers can also earn more, right?
Shi Liubian asked the village head to set aside a piece of land to build a workshop, and produce food in the future. Then the goods to Changzhou and other places can be shipped from here, saving more than a day's journey.

The workers are the farmers. They also milk the sheep to make milk powder and send it to the sheep workshop in Xiahe Village. The wool that is sheared twice a year can also be processed and knitted on the spot. There is no shortage of nimble daughters-in-law among the farmers.

In the past, the farmers in Da Nanzhuang had little savings at the end of the year except for the income from planting the fields and raising sheep, chickens and ducks that were allocated to each household.

The change of the new master and the "big fuss" right away gave them hope for prosperity, and they all put their best efforts into it.

Although they are farmers, don’t farmers want to live a prosperous life?
Of course I thought about it. I could earn money, feed my family well, dress well, build a new house with bricks and tiles, and not worry about my children's marriages. It would be the same as for ordinary farmers.

The boat docked at Luoshui Wharf. When Shi Liu came out of the cabin, he immediately saw Li Rongzong who was waiting at the dock.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Li Rongzong checked his sister up and down, and was relieved to see that she had not lost weight. He smiled and said, "Mom knew you were coming back today, so she went out to buy groceries and cook early, and asked me to pick you up!" He didn't say that he missed his sister very much.

Shi Liu felt warm at heart after hearing this. She asked her elder brother to get on the carriage, and they slowly went into the city.

"How many months has it been, sister-in-law? Is everything okay?"

Li Rongzong was distressed as he spoke, "It's only been two months, and I don't know if this baby is a boy or a girl. It's not as well behaved as Baozhu. Your sister-in-law can't eat or sleep well. She wants to vomit when she smells meat or vegetables. She's become so thin that she looks unrecognizable!
Now my mother makes her some egg porridge every day, and she can barely eat some. My mother said that she will get better slowly after getting through this month. "

Although Shi Liu has never been married or pregnant, she knows that because the progesterone levels during pregnancy are different, some people have severe pregnancy reactions while others have nothing at all. This is all normal.

There is nothing you can do about it. You can only eat whatever you can. As for nutrition, you can only make up for it slowly after the pregnancy reactions are gone.

However, pregnant women suffer, so Shi Liu couldn't help but say a few words to her elder brother, asking him to be considerate and take care of her elder sister-in-law's emotions.

Li Rongzong nodded his head as he listened. Even without his sister telling him, he felt sorry for his wife!
Talking about Rong Sheng's success in getting the title of Tongsheng, "This is the first Tongsheng of our Li family, and the second Tongsheng of our Xiahe Village. The clan leader is very happy. No matter if he can pass the exam again in the future, this Tongsheng is a great joyous event that will make our ancestors' graves smoke, right? So the clan leader said that he will have a banquet and tell his ancestors, and he is waiting for you to come back!"

Shi Liu nodded after hearing this, "Rongsheng is amazing. He passed the imperial examination at the age of thirteen. He is the first one in our Li family! Shouldn't we have a banquet to celebrate?"

Li Rongzong said, "We know you're coming back today. The clan leader said that the wedding banquet will be held the next day, so we should all go back tomorrow!"

Because Lin was pregnant again, Song moved to Liuliu Hutong and lived there, taking care of Baozhu and the pregnant Lin. As for the eldest daughter, Lian Qiuniang was there, and she would visit her from time to time. Also, her mother-in-law often came to the city, so she didn't have to worry too much about the eldest daughter being pregnant.

As soon as she entered the door, Shi Liu smelled the fragrance of food. The taste was very familiar. They were all her favorite dishes. They were all made by her mother!

Shi Liu went into the kitchen and hugged Song from behind, "Mom!"

When Song heard her daughter's voice and was suddenly hugged by her daughter, her eyes turned red involuntarily, but she said, "You scared me, kid. Go out now and don't get in my way. The food will be ready soon. Go wash your hands."

Shi Liu laughed and refused to let go, rubbing Song's back for a long time, "Mom, I miss you, do you miss me?"

"You've been away for more than half a month. I can't even remember what you look like. I don't miss you."

"Well, I know Mom misses me a lot! I'll stay a few more days before I go out this time."

"Only for a few days? And how long will you be away?"

"I will be away for a long time this time. I have to go to the south. I think I can come back before grandpa's birthday."

"So long?" Song couldn't help it when she heard it, and tears flowed out. She was worried about her daughter all the time when she was away from home, and she was going to go to the South so far and for such a long time, which made her even more worried.

But as a mother, how could she hold her child back? She couldn't stop her child from going, so she could only remind her child to be careful when going out and to take good care of himself.

"Don't worry, mom. I'll bring more people with me next time. Nothing will happen. Look, I was away for more than half a month this time, and I came back fine!"
