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

Chapter 487: Greater than the value of a hairpin

Hearing the voice, Shi Liu turned around and saw Sun Lao Wang, and replied with a smile: "When I came out, my father was killing a goose. The goose meat was very beautiful. Everyone knows that you, Grandpa Sun, are good at raising geese. The geese you raise must be delicious! I have to thank you, Grandpa Sun. I heard from my grandfather that you reluctantly gave up the goose because you saw that I wanted to eat it, or you planned to kill it for yourself to eat during the New Year. It's me who is greedy!"

Sun Laowang smiled with wrinkles all over his face, and waved his hands hurriedly, saying, "I didn't know that you, Shi Liu, liked to eat geese. When spring comes, I'll buy some more goslings to raise. When you want to eat geese, just come to Grandpa Sun's place and catch them!"

Every elder will like a capable youngster, not to mention that the youngster in front of them is a benefactor to their entire village!

Although the Sun family was considered to be one of the better-off families in the village two or three years ago, they have become even better-off in the past two years. Who would complain if they could live a good life?

All this is thanks to pomegranates.

So Sun Laowang was reluctant to sell the goose to anyone, but he was definitely willing to give it to Shi Liu!

If Li Yitian hadn't spoken with a garlicky tone and always come to show off in front of him, he wouldn't even charge for this goose!
Originally, he wanted to pick up the goose and deliver it directly to Shi Liu in person, but the old man was cunning and he threw the change, caught the goose and ran away, not giving him the chance.

Humph, thinking of this, Sun Laowang couldn't help but shrug his nose at Old Man Li.

Fortunately, Shi Liu came to thank him personally.

Thinking of this, the wrinkles on Sun Laowang's face became even more wrinkled, and he kept asking Shi Liu to go in to warm himself by the fire and drink tea.

Shi Liu kept laughing and said, "Next time, next time." "Well, Grandpa Sun, you are busy. I will go to see my nephews first!"

"Hey! You go, you go." Sun Laowang waved his hand in response and watched the grandparents and grandchildren enter the opposite door. Then he retracted his gaze and went back to his own main room with his hands behind his back.

He shook his head and sighed, saying that he had been competing with Li Yitian for most of his life, but in the end he had never been better than Li Yitian.

Who told him to have a good granddaughter!

"Grandpa, Shi Liu, come into the house and warm yourself by the fire. You must be cold from the journey." Wan, who was pregnant, hurriedly called Shi Liu and the other grandpa into the house.

Mrs. Hu quickly made some hot tea. The tea leaves were brought back from the south by Shi Liu. Li Rongsong and his family were reluctant to drink this good tea themselves, so they saved it for guests who came to their house.

Less than a month after her confinement, Jiang went back to work in the workshop, and the child was left in the care of Mother Yang. Since they lived close together, Mother Yang would take the child to the workshop to find Jiang when she was hungry.

The weather is getting cold now, and she is afraid that the child will catch a cold if she runs around, so Mother Yang simply holds the child and goes to work with Jiang. There is a brazier in the workshop, and Shi Liu has also set aside a small room for the children to rest. There are several cribs in the room, which were made in the carpentry workshop and moved directly there. It is not difficult at all and it is a rare thoughtfulness.

Not only Jiang, there are also women in the village who continue to work shortly after giving birth. This makes things very convenient and everyone is very grateful.

Therefore, it was Mrs. Hu who was taking care of Shou and Xiang at home. Mrs. Wan was already six months pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to move because of her big belly. So Shi Liu did not ask her to go to the workshop and asked her to stay at home to take care of the baby.
Anyway, the workshop has benefits. Women who give birth have six months of maternity leave. Although they cannot get full wages, they can still get 300 wen a month. It is like a white-collar worker who does not go to work. When they return to the workshop after giving birth, their positions are still there and they don't have to worry about not being able to go back.

Therefore, any women of childbearing age in the workshop who become pregnant will calculate the time on their own. Generally, they will stop going to the workshop when they are about five or six months pregnant. After the birth, they will stay in confinement and take care of the baby for another month. Six months of maternity leave is just right.

Even if there is someone who thinks she is pregnant and wants to work in the workshop until she is about to give birth, Shi Liu will not agree. It is so dangerous for her to wander around the workshop with a big belly. For a woman being pregnant is a big deal, so she has to be careful.

Well, with Shi Liu's words and this rule, the mothers-in-law have nothing to say. Even if you don't go, you can still earn 300 coins a month, and you can go back to work after giving birth. Why not?

Wan was the type who wanted to continue working until she gave birth even though she was pregnant. If Shi Liu hadn't forced her to go home, she would have really wanted to. At this moment, Shi Liu also took a good look at Wan. Seeing that her face was rosy and her pregnancy was looking good, she couldn't help but ask, "Is my second cousin's wife okay? If there is anything, you have to ask Sister Hu to call for help."

Wan was a straightforward person, she smiled upon hearing that, "Hey! I'm fine, this child isn't making trouble, your second cousin said it must be a girl, girls love their mothers."

Old Man Li had nothing to say to his grandson's wife, and it was difficult to say anything, so he held Xiang'er on his lap and pulled Shou'er aside to talk.

Shouger is already two and a half years old. He speaks like a little adult and knows everything you ask him. He can also help look after his younger brother Xiangger.

Although Xiangger is only one year and four months old, he speaks very clearly.

Old Man Li was teasing his two great-grandsons, smiling widely and looking very happy.

Shi Liu chatted with Wan for a while, then handed the box to Wan and said, "I saw some nice jewelry in the capital this time, so I bought them. You and your eldest cousin's wife each get a hairpin, and Yang Tao also gets one. These are my gifts for you for the New Year."

Wan looked at the three beautiful hairpins and opened her mouth slightly. After a moment, she waved her hands, "What should I do? I'm asking you, Shi Liu, to spend money again. You just gave me a hairpin for my birthday last time!"

Shi Liu smiled and said, "Blood is thicker than water. We are all relatives who are connected by bones. Can't I give you something? You said birthday, I celebrated my birthday, didn't you also give me a gift?"

Mrs. Wan blushed when she heard this. The birthday gift she gave to Shi Liu was just a pair of shoes that she made in her own time. How could it be compared to this hairpin and be so valuable?

Shi Liu knew what was going on. She was rich and was happy to give jewelry to her sisters-in-law and aunts, but none of the sisters-in-law and aunts would accept them for free. One made shoes for her, another made socks for her, and they all used fine materials that they themselves would not give away.

This friendship is more valuable than this hairpin.

"Second cousin, keep it. I didn't buy anything for Shou and Xiang. When the Chinese New Year comes, I, as their aunt, will give them a big red envelope as lucky money."

Wan was really embarrassed, but Shi Liu asked her to accept it, so she had to. She was already thinking in her heart that she was free at home taking care of the pregnancy and she should make something for Shi Liu.

Let's make clothes. Although she is not good at embroidery, Shi Liu does not lack clothes to wear. I heard that there are special people responsible for making clothes for her. Those clothes are very beautiful. You can tell by looking at what Shi Liu is wearing.

After thinking about it, the only thing she could do was to make shoes. She was good at making shoes, which she was proud of. This time, she had to make them even better and more beautiful.

I heard that the new sister-in-law of Yu Di is good at embroidery. She will ask her for advice tomorrow and learn a good pattern to embroider on shoes.

Shi Liu had no idea what Wan was thinking, so she gave her the hairpin and then pulled Shou'er and Xiang'er over to play with and hug them.

Shou Ge'er is a chatterbox. Once Shi Liu asks him a question, and he likes Shi Liu very much, he will chatter non-stop.

Shi Liu's eardrums were about to be shattered by him, but it was also funny. Even when he said he was leaving, Shou Ge'er was still looking at Shi Liu with eager eyes and followed him out.

Shi Liu's heart softened when she saw this, and she said to Wan, "It's cold and there's nothing to do. I'm not going out much. Let Shou and Xiang come to the mansion tomorrow to play with Baozhu, so the kids can have some company."

Wan quickly agreed, "Okay."
