Chapter 605
She naturally understood what Liu meant, but it was nothing more than letting her pretend to be deaf and dumb as if she didn't know.No matter what Mrs. Zhu meant, she did what Mrs. Zhu literally said. Even if she completed her mission and had an account with Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Matchmaker Zeng, she would naturally not be able to deal with her in the future.

It's just that Li Xin knew in his heart that Mrs. Zhu was not a person to be fooled easily.Her aunt usually does not look like a mountain or dew, but she is like a mirror in her heart, she naturally said so, if she pretends not to understand, the aunt will definitely know.

At that time, I might not think of her that way.

Mrs. Liu stretched out her hand and patted her on the head: "Don't let you think about it, people who are pregnant with children are forgetful and stupid, even if you don't remember this or that, it's nothing to worry about. Thinking about this and that, how can you settle your mind?"

Li Xin pursed her lips, sighed and said, "Then do as mother said, will it work?"

"That's how it should be."

Mrs. Liu snorted, walked around the house, took a sip of tea, smiled again, and said to Li Xin: "The food shop opened by your second brother by the pier in the town is doing really well. Very, I went to see it last time. When it was time for dinner, those coolies carrying bags on the pier lined up with bowls to buy the big pot of rice. My mother listened to those people talking about your second brother. The price of the restaurant is not high, but the food is enough to fill you up, and your second brother Bodhisattva's heart will definitely make the business bigger and bigger in the future."

Li Xin smiled: "It's good if the business is good. If you don't rely on big pots to make money, you can't make two money."

Mrs. Liu nodded: "Yes, your second brother also said that the big pot has a lot of food, and the money is also small. Even if it doesn't make a loss, it will be a big deal if you count the labor of the two of them for cooking. You only earn a few dozen coppers. If you really rely on this to make money, the money you earn is not enough to pay the rent. Or your Mala Tang makes more money, two strings of vegetarian ones cost one copper, and one string of meat A coin, your second brother and the others open a night market at night and push a cart to sell it, and they say that if they are lucky, they can make hundreds of coins in one night!"

When it came to making money, Mrs. Liu danced and danced: "Our family is doing well now, your elder brother and younger brother are doing well, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing, so mother's heart will fall into your stomach..."

Li Xin pulled her to sit down, and said with a smile: "Yes, from now on, father and mother will enjoy the happiness of life."

Mrs. Liu laughed for a while and then lost face: "It's your third brother, don't let people worry about it, why don't you run away and stay at home obediently..."

After Li Ming left, Mrs. Liu talked about her son a lot. She missed him for a while, and was angry with him for a while. Others said that Li Ming was promising, but she couldn't find Bei happily. After giving birth to her youngest daughter, Li Ge, she became more like him She is like an old child, especially when Li Ming is involved, her mood changes so much that her family members dare not raise Li Ming in front of her.

But fortunately, Li Ming also sent back letters regularly, sometimes they sent them to the post in the town, and Guan Wen went to pick them up, and sometimes they sent them home directly.Because of these letters, Liu complained less. Even though she was illiterate, at least she knew that her son was safe outside, so she felt more at ease.

"Since you came home, life at home has become easier..." Mrs. Liu took Li Xin's hand and sighed: "In the past, let alone delicious white rice, even brown rice, you have to eat it sparingly. Fortunately, the family is united, so this life can go on. Think about the good life now and compare it with the life at that time... Sigh, mother suffered hardships in the first half of her life, but she will enjoy happiness in the second half of her life..."

Li Xin nodded, and accompanied Liu Shi to recall bitterness and sweetness.

A few days later, Li Xin sent someone to find Matchmaker Zeng, told Matchmaker Zeng according to Zhu's words, and then politely saw off the guests.

No matter what matchmaker Zeng thought about it, Li Xin made up her mind to listen to Mrs. Liu this time and pretended not to understand.

Afterwards, Li Xin said to the outside world that she wanted to raise her baby at home, to raise her spirits, and would not see guests easily.

At the same time, Li Xin's stomach was like blowing up a balloon. According to Guan Wen, it bulged up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Every other day when Guan Wen came home, he would touch Li Xin's stomach in amazement and say, "It's really different every day..."

Others will have spots on their faces during pregnancy, their skin will become dull, and their complexion will not look good.The wives and wives of rich families will take some beauty supplements, or rub some medicine on their faces to maintain their skin.Li Xin didn't do anything, she ate well and rested well every day, but her skin became more and more hydrated, which made Xing'er really envious.

Seeing his daughter-in-law's radiant face, Guan Wen was also very happy. In addition to the cold winter before spring, the furs that were purchased at low prices in summer and autumn were basically sold out, which is equivalent to buying at low prices and selling at high prices. Guan Wen really made a lot of money, and the guys in the shop were blessed. Not only did they get together to eat the banquet that Guan Wen paid for, but they also got some silver rewards. Guan Wen said it was a year-end reward. The guys are happy to die.

At this time, someone looked at Guan Wen happily, and suggested to Guan Wen that since the profit of the shop is good, it is better to open another shop.

Guan Wen took this matter to heart, and discussed it with Li Xin after returning home one day.

"After spring plowing, the long-term workers at home can start farming. We don't need to worry about things like raising seedlings and transplanting seedlings. The lotus pond has also been cleaned up, and we have kept all the lotus root seeds. There is no need to worry about things in that area. "Guan Wen said: "The vegetables in the greenhouse are sold to rich families in winter and they get a lot of money. Because of the nectar, the production of honey is only reduced, but not much. Is that too much?"

Li Xin blinked, nodded and said with a smile: "And the income from your shop, I'm so happy recently, I'm afraid I made a lot of money?"

Guan Wen knew that Li Xin never asked about his shop, so he nodded and rubbed his palms eagerly: "I just want to discuss with you, can we open another shop with the money we have?" ?”

Li Xin asked in surprise, "You still want to open another shop?"

Guan Wen's fur shop has a large surface and good decoration, and Li Xin has been watching the preliminary project for a while.There are not many fur shops in Huixian Town. Although Guan Wen's shop is not the only one, the profit is indeed very high.Even if it is jointly organized with the Escort Bureau, the Escort Bureau will have a share of the pie, but the amount of money earned is still very considerable.

Now their family has [-] acres of land, [-] acres of lotus ponds, and a mountain, and there is a fur shop in the town with a huge profit. To put it a bit exaggeratedly, they are already well-to-do wealthy households at this moment. If the family's land is rented out for people to cultivate, then it can be regarded as a small landlord who lives and rents food.

Li Xin is very satisfied with the status quo.

But obviously Guan Wen's aggressiveness was not enough, and when others mentioned this, he was a little moved.

Guan Wen nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "If the family has enough money and can afford to open another shop, it is nothing to open another shop." Guan Wen's eyes showed a smile: "Our family has land There are mountains, land, and lotus ponds, so you can’t go hungry anyway. If you have too much money, you keep it by your side, and if you put too much money, you feel panicked, even if it will be exposed and people will miss you someday. If you have a lot of money, take it out. To buy a few shops, money is always dead, and it is right that money can make money."

Li Xin snorted softly, and muttered: "You have a big idea... Now that you have a shop, you are already rushing back and forth, and you only see your face in such a little time the next night. If you have another shop, If you get busy, I won't even be able to see your face..."

Guan Wen was taken aback for a moment, and immediately smiled: "Xin'er, do you miss me?"

"Who misses you..."

Li Xin glared at him, then turned around and rubbed his stomach.Guan Wen leaned forward, put his arm around her arm, put one hand on the hand that touched her belly, and gently rubbed it, saying: "We want to lay the foundation for the children, I don't want them to suffer the hardships I have suffered before." .”

Li Xin was silent, and after a long while, he said in a low voice: "Only by suffering and suffering can one become a master."

Guan Wen chuckled: "Poverty is hard, whether you can eat it or not. We can teach children to be hardworking, down-to-earth, modest, and exercise their willpower and sense of responsibility. But this does not mean that we have to let them experience our It was difficult when I was a child. If it was a son, I would still let him farm with me when I was a child and let him know that food is hard to come by. It is impossible to give it to her, if there is a shop, give her a few more as a dowry..."

Li Xin burst into laughter immediately, and glared at Guan Wen in embarrassment: "The one in my stomach hasn't been born yet, so you're thinking about your daughter's dowry, isn't it too far away?"

Guan Wen said solemnly: "Where is it so far? If it's a girl, we'll have to prepare a dowry for her since she was born."

Li Xin was immediately choked by Guan Wen's serious tone, and looked at him strangely: "A dowry is prepared at birth?"

Guan Wen nodded: "When you are born, you must sell your daughter's red."

Oh, it turned out to be my daughter's red wine.

Daughter's red wine is buried when a girl is born, and the amount of buried wine is determined according to the quality of the family.The wine is buried in the ground, and it will come out to entertain guests on the day when the girl grows up and gets married.

Li Xin has no impression of his daughter's red wine, and seems to have only a small jar. After all, this wine is considered a relatively high-purity wine, and the price is not cheap.When my little niece, Jiu'er, was born, she sold eight jars, Li Erlang and his wife prepared five jars, Li Dalang added another jar, and the other two jars were buried with money from Mrs. Liu. She is very rare for daughters.

As for the birth of my sister Li Ge, the number of buried daughter Hong is even more. I vaguely remember that my mother mentioned it to me, it seems that ten altars were buried...

After thinking about it, she was a little bit off. Guan Wen called her twice, and Li Xin came back to his senses. Seeing Guan Wen looking at her with concern, he let out a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face: "I want to open another shop. Let's go."
