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

Chapter 474 Niece

A few sparrows were jumping around on the bare branches, chirping, as if complaining about the cold weather.

The mutton for making dumplings was distributed, but Pomegranate was not kept at home to eat the dumplings. He rushed into Luoshui City before noon.

It was almost noon, but the sky was still gray and foggy. The cold air was seeping through the alleys, seeming to penetrate into people's bones.

The carriage stopped in front of a house. Hu Zhen got off the horse and knocked on the door.

After a moment, the door opened. The old woman stuck her head out and saw Hu Zhen and the carriage outside. She immediately smiled and hurriedly moved the carriage inside.

"The second girl is here, go tell her."

Ever since Li Xiangli became pregnant, Shi Liu had been thinking about assigning a few people to serve her future niece, so she transferred a family from Dazaozhuang, and this old woman was one of them.

In addition, her son and daughter-in-law have a pair of children, both of whom are only a few years old. No matter whether Li Xiangli gives birth to a son or a daughter, they can both serve as servants.

The old woman's voice travelled inside, and Lianqiu heard it. She was overjoyed and hurried into the main room to tell Li Xiangli.

Li Xiangli was still in confinement after giving birth. The weather was cold, so she wore thick clothes and a headband on her forehead. The windows in the room were closed tightly, and no wind could get in.

"Shi Liu is here? Hurry, call her in." Li Xiangli stretched her neck on the couch, wishing she could get up and go out to greet her.

The baby, who had just finished feeding, was being held by Ma and burped to coax him to sleep. Seeing that Madam couldn't sit still and wanted to get up, she quickly said, "It's cold outside. The girl can't go out to see the wind."

As he was speaking, Shi Liu had already stepped into the main room, took off the cloak that was wrapped in frost, shook his feet, and then went behind the cotton curtain.

"Miss!"

"Shi Liu!" Li Xiangli was so excited when she saw Shi Liu that she looked him up and down. "I heard that the city was closed because of an epidemic. I was so worried. Now that I see that you are fine, I feel relieved."

Lian Qiu said, "The eldest girl was worried about you, the second girl, during those days. She had a miscarriage and was in pain for a whole day and night before giving birth to my little girl. Fortunately, both mother and daughter are safe. Later, she learned that you, the second girl, had returned safely, and she was able to rest and recuperate after giving birth."

Shi Liu sat down on the edge of the couch and looked at her elder sister carefully again and again. Seeing that her complexion was still good, she couldn't help but say a few more words, telling her to take good care of herself during the confinement period and not to worry. If a woman doesn't take good care of herself during the confinement period, she will suffer in the future.

Li Xiangli laughed and muttered that Shi Liu was still a little girl, how could she understand these things? But when she talked about them, she had a lot of principles. "I know, I know. Ma's mother has a lot of experience in this area. I always listen to her. I have never made any mistakes in this field."

She only had to breastfeed, and she wasn't even allowed to hold the baby more, coax the baby, or change diapers. She really only cared about herself during the confinement period, and she felt like she was going to mold from sitting there all the time.

"I thought you would come in the next two days, but today is the beginning of winter, why are you here?"

Shi Liu joked, "Could it be that Big Sister is reluctant to give me dumplings?"

Li Xiangli scolded her, "The kitchen is making them. They have all kinds of fillings. You'd better eat more later. You've lost weight."

Shi Liu chuckled and said a few words to Li Xiangli before going to the crib to see the baby.

"These eyebrows and eyes are really similar to you, elder sister."

Li Xiangli was lying on the couch, watching, her face full of the loving glow of a mother and child. "Mom also said so, but I think she looks more like her father. The nose is exactly the same."

Shi Liu smelled the aroma of milk and looked at her little niece who was sleeping soundly with her little mouth and nose. Her heart was melted and she couldn't help but lower her head and give her a light kiss on the face.

Then he sat down beside the couch, laughing, "My little niece will be a beauty when she grows up! She looks like a gentle little beauty, not like Baozhu who is naughty." Speaking of Baozhu's naughtiness, Li Xiangli couldn't help laughing, "How is Kang Ge'er? I haven't even been able to see him."

"He can eat and sleep well, just like Baozhu when she was little, very fat!" Shi Liu said with a tut-tut look on his face, and then asked, "What's the name?"

Li Xiangli said: "Her grandfather gave her the name Meng Xilan, and her nickname is Lan Jie'er."

Meng Xilan muttered to herself that the name was not very nice, but she didn't say anything. The grandfather gave the name to his granddaughter out of his love for her, so it would be inappropriate for her to say anything.

Then he brought up a box with a golden lock and said, "This is a meeting gift for my niece. This golden lock is a full-moon gift."

Li Xiangli was also shocked when she saw the box of jewellery. It was obvious that it was specially made by a silver shop. They were all smaller in size and included bracelets, hairpins and various other small items.

And that golden lock is not light.

She couldn't help but say angrily, "This is too much pampering for the child. She is less than a month old, how can she wear so many jewels?"

Shi Liu didn't care. "Girls should be raised in wealth. How can this little bit of jewelry be so precious? I only have this eldest sister. As her child, how can I, as her aunt, not love her?"

Li Xiangli covered her chest and pretended to be sad, saying, "With you, her aunt, pampering her so much, I'm afraid she will only have you, her aunt, in her eyes in the future. Will she still recognize me as her mother?"

Shi Liu laughed out loud, "That's perfect! I wish Sister Lan could be my daughter!"

Li Xiangli couldn't help but laugh as well.

The joyful laughter in the house spread far into the yard. Meng Dongsheng, who had just entered the room, knew that it was his sister-in-law who had come, and he couldn't help but smile.

The lady had always been thinking about her younger sister, and she felt relieved when her younger sister came.

Li Xiangli was in confinement and could not go out, nor could she ask her brother-in-law Meng Dongsheng to accompany the guests for dinner. So Shi Liu was happy to have lunch with Li Xiangli in the room.

But the food is different.

Li Xiangli ate special confinement meals, which were extremely light. Even the dumplings she ate were of pork filling.

The dumplings dipped in pomegranate sauce tasted so delicious, and the slightly spicy and sour taste made Li Xiangli very greedy.

I couldn't help but smile and said, "I've suffered a lot to have a meal with you."

Pomegranate laughed out loud, and the sound of his laughter spread out, scaring away the sparrows that had landed in the yard to look for food.

After lunch, Shi Liu did not stay long and left early so that Li Xiangli could rest in peace.

The group went straight out of the city and first arrived at Erli Village, planning to rest there for one night and go to the provincial capital early tomorrow morning.

After a few days, Erli Village gradually regained its vitality. Jiang De bought some more people back according to Shi Liu's arrangement, and the workshop on the village continued to operate. The cattle, sheep, chickens, ducks, etc. also needed people to look after them.

The popularity remains the same as before, but it is no longer the Erlizhuang of the past. The tombs on the Lishan Mountain are all proof of what happened.

Of course, loved ones will always remember, and Pomegranate will also always remember.
