***
Time flew by, and spring began in a blink of an eye, and it was April.

During this period of time, Li Xin went to the town more frequently. Mrs. Shen urged her to study a new list of skin care products, and wanted to expand a workshop to produce more products and sell more. It would be best to develop products not only for women, but also for men. Can be used to expand the source of customers.

In addition, Mrs. Shen also hopes that Li Xin can research more varieties, not only limited to skin care, cleansing hands and face, since they all extract fragrance, it would be even better if there is a liquid fragrance.

Li Xin discussed this issue with Mrs. Shen several times but failed, so he had to go back and forth.

Mrs. Shen said that if this business can grow bigger and bigger and become an industry that the Shen family has to pay attention to, Li Xin will naturally benefit a lot.

Li Xin gets a lot of dividends from Mrs. Shen every month. She is regarded as the main "technical backbone", and Mrs. Shen is also extremely generous to her. A gift from Shen's residence at the end of the year.

Mrs. Shen is very thoughtful in her conduct, and Li Xin is both grateful and afraid of her.In the past, she wanted to get out of this business, but Mrs. Shen didn't allow it, so she could only continue like this.

But in the end, it seems that Mrs. Shen has no malice towards her, and only hopes to join hands with her to make the business bigger and better.

Li Xin was naturally very involved in it.

Li Xin calculated in his own mind.

In addition to the dividends she got from Mrs. Shen, she also had the honey from Feng Defa's beekeeping. Last year, the fish and lotus roots sold in the lotus pond were also a source of income. Now Guan Wu is also allowed to continue planting lotus seeds. It took money to buy several ponds in the surrounding area, and connected them into a piece of ponds so that they can be managed with draft water.Last year, I didn't pay much attention to the fruit trees in the mountains, and Guan Wen and Guan Wu just picked some one after another, and the income was not much.As for the paddy field at home, last year's harvest was not satisfactory because Guan Ming was too lazy to take care of it.

The unexpected joy was the bonus brought to her by Ahe, and the share that Master Wu paid her for the artificial fireplace with her fireplace craftsmanship.

Although these scattered incomes were too thin compared to the money she got from Mrs. Shen, they were accumulated bit by bit.

Now the house at home has also been enlarged, and it is becoming more and more "rich". With the donkey cart, it is convenient to travel, and Yang'er and Xiaokang can go to Kaimeng to study... Everything is developing in a good direction.

Maybe it's true what Taoist Wang said, this mountain is a blessed land?Several times last year they came out of danger.

If what Taoist Wang said is true, then...will she be able to have a child in a year or two, instead of being "childless" forever?
Li Xin could tell that Guan Wen still longed for a child.

In his busy schedule, Li Xin almost forgot that his mother was about to give birth.

This day, Xing'er hugged Xiao Geng'er and chatted with Li Xin, and when she talked about her mother's family, Li Xin suddenly realized that her mother's birth may be in a few days, right?It's just that there is no news from her natal family, so Li Xin must be a little worried.

Two days later, Li Erlang came to Li Xin with a smile on his face, saying that Mrs. Liu was born.

Li Xin hurriedly prepared the gift to take back to her natal family, asked Xing'er a few words, and took the little donkey back to Li's village with Li Erlang.

When I arrived at Li's house, I saw that the house was already beaming.

On the way, Li Erlang had already said that Liu's seizures occurred at noon the day before yesterday, and she was born only last night.The midwife said that Mrs. Liu was a bit older after all, and she was a little weak. The child was also a pain, and it took a long time in the mother's belly before she was willing to come out.

Seeing Li Xin coming, the women around Mrs. Liu hurriedly stepped aside, and pulled her to sit next to Mrs. Liu, and asked Mrs. Liu to hold the baby for her sister to see.

With a bright smile on her face, Mrs. Liu said to Li Xin: "I just said that the little boy speaks eloquently. If Yang'er doesn't say that he wants a little aunt, isn't there a little aunt?"

Li Xin hurriedly hugged the baby carefully, and someone next to him teased Liu Shi: "I was expecting you to have a son, but in the end, you added a daughter. I thought you would be disappointed as the head of the family, but it's just that you are old and you don't have a son." , got a daughter, who knows that you, the head of the family, are happier than when you gave birth to your eldest son!"

Mrs. Liu smiled triumphantly: "Our family has no shortage of stinky boys, but we only like fragrant girls."

Mrs. Liu propped herself up and half sat up, and asked Li Xin, "Xin'er, look at your girl, does she look like you?"

For a newborn baby, Li Xin has always been unable to tell who he looks like, so he can only purse his lips and smile, and say, "Like, of course my sister looks like me."

The little baby was obedient in her sister's embrace, and Li Xin's soft body was held in Li Xin's arms, which made Li Xin feel soft and messed up in his heart.

But at this moment, the blind man said: "Girl Xin, your mother has already given you a younger sister. When will you give your mother a grandson? Hurry up!"

The people around were suddenly a little embarrassed, Liu was furious, and wanted to scold those who spoke, but Li Xin said plainly: "I don't need to worry about my affairs. Auntie still cares more. My own daughter and daughter-in-law."

Mrs. Liu immediately echoed, "That's right, you old godly woman, don't spit if you can't speak!"

Everyone smoothed things over one after another, preventing the sour-tongued person from continuing to speak.

Mrs. Zhang came in with chicken soup to feed Mrs. Liu, everyone stepped aside and said goodbye after a few words.Only then did Li Xin remember to ask Liu Shi: "Mom, do you have milk? Does my sister eat your milk or..."

"I don't have much milk here. Your elder brother caught the first sheep and said that if there is not enough to spare." Liu replied: "Your second sibling said she still has some milk. Jiu'er has started to eat some rice porridge now. Her milk is also confiscated, but she doesn't have much milk, and your sister doesn't have enough to eat."

"Where did you catch the sheep?" Li Xin asked curiously.

"There's no need to catch it! Your elder brother caught it by himself." Mrs. Zhang let Mrs. Liu drink the soup, and gave Li Xin a wink, telling Li Xin not to ask any more questions.

Li Xin put this topic aside and asked about his little sister instead.

"When I was just born, my voice was so bright, tsk tsk tsk..." Liu said excitedly, "I can hear it in several houses next door. Do you think your sister has a loud voice? She will be promising in the future!"

Li Xin smiled approvingly, but unfortunately, her sister had never howled since she came here, and she didn't know how her sister cried.

Mrs. Liu said again: "This child is like me. Your father is happy. He named the child before he came out. Most of them are named after girls. Your father is now busy in the fields, and he said it yesterday. I decided on a name for your sister, but I don't know what name he took."

When it was late at night, Li Houzhong finally came back happily. Seeing Li Xin there, he grinned even more and said, "Miss Xin is back? You have a younger sister, hehe..."

Seeing her father's silly smile, Li Xin was also ashamed for him.She nodded and said, "Mother said Dad named my sister?"

"I've taken it." Li Houzhong said cheerfully, "I asked a lot of young people in the same village. I heard that your sister has a very loud voice, so I called it 'Song'. Let her sing duet with the boys on the opposite mountain! Guaranteed Louder than their voices!"

Li Xin was choked up immediately - when he was choosing the name for Xiao Geng'er, he also watched the Taoist test the good and bad luck, how could it be his sister's turn to save this one?

Li Houzhong said: "Why didn't you ask Taoist priests to read it? I asked Taoist priests to read the names earlier. Your Uncle Wang said that the names I chose are very gentle. I also asked Taoist priest Wang this morning. I counted your sister's birthday horoscope for her to see if the name is successful, he said that your sister was born with a good horoscope, and she will marry a good family in the future, and her names are also gentle, as long as they don't conflict, it will be icing on the cake!"

Li Xin curled her lips, not knowing whether Taoist Wang was telling the truth or just playing tricks on her father.

But this is my younger sister and not my own daughter. Parents can choose their names like this. Li Ge and Li Xin are also two sisters from their names.

In the evening, Li Xin went to ask Mrs. Zhang about it, and asked her why she stopped herself from talking when she was in the room.

"Sister, have you forgotten that ten acres of wasteland that you asked your elder brother to buy for you?" Mrs. Zhang gave her a sideways look, as if accusing her of having a bad memory.

Li Xin nodded hurriedly: "I know, didn't the eldest brother say that he didn't open up wasteland much, did he do other things?"

"What other things do you think your elder brother is doing?" Zhang said: "You are busy, so you don't ask too much...there is a lot of grass in that area, your elder brother surrounded it and hired someone to raise it. Sheep. Originally, people didn’t like to eat mutton and goat milk, but you told me how to get rid of the fishy smell, so I talked with your elder brother, and your elder brother thought it was good to raise sheep, so he decided to do this.”

Agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline fishery, the development of animal husbandry is of course good!
Li Xin smiled and said, "I forgot. Brother, will you come over?"

"If you can take care of it, it doesn't matter if there's still a lot of grass now."

Li Xin thought for a while and said, "I'll discuss it with my elder brother."

Li Dalang and Li Xin sat down, and Li Xin said straight to the point: "Brother, it's not good if the grass is eaten up, you'd better set aside two pieces of land, and when the grass here is eaten up by the sheep, then you can use it again." The sheep go there to eat, and when the grass grows in the pasture, the sheep will have enough grass to eat.”

Li Dalang immediately nodded and said, "I've been thinking about this question since the beginning, sister, you are right."

Li Xin nodded, and asked again: "In addition to wasteland, paddy fields are also planted?"

"Of course." Li Dalang said with a smile, "I sold some of the harvested grain and put the rest in the warehouse. I always wanted to discuss with you, sister, to see when you would bring it back, but you have never been free. It was hard to find you when you were free, so I talked to you about it."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, and went to get a box. Li Dalang took out several big silver ingots and gave them to Li Xin, saying: "You said that the income is half and half. It's not easy for my brother to take you so much. It's [-]% of the silver." , you keep it. You can ask someone to move the rest of the grain back sometime, it’s last year’s rice, and it looks very new.”

Li Xin frowned, and Li Dalang said, "Don't argue with Big Brother, or Big Brother won't help you take care of your land."

Only then did Li Xin take the money back, and then asked Li Dalang and Mrs. Zhang if they wanted to send Shanzi to study.
