e emperor's trusted chief steward, seeing from afar, dared to step forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, the hour has arrived. Should we set out the meal"The Emperor pinched his heavy sleeves, nodding...Li Lao Tai then suggested building the pigsty farther away so that the stench of pig manure wouldn't affect the village and valley. The accumulated manure could be composted, which would fertilize the fields and orchards.

After that, it would be like a small pig farm in the village. The village children would help feed the pigs, take turns caring for them, and clean their pens. All of these tasks would count as work points. At the end of the year, they would share the pork and the money from selling it together. 。Of course, the Li family raised pigs and piglets. For the first three years, they would split half the meat and silver with each other. After three years, they would share equally like the rest of the villagers. 。Of course the villagers agreed. After all, the marquis had come to their village with so many fine pigs, it must have been for Li's... 。The Li family is willing to share cooperation with the villagers, which shows the Li family's righteousness. 。The Lee family raised piglets, and the villagers worked hard. In the end, they divided the proceeds equally. This is only right. 。Even if you calculate carefully, the Li family is even at a loss. 。After all, everyone has the strength to raise pigs, but they can't find such a good pig! The village chief was leading the men from the village in the final cleanup, and the pigsty was almost finished. 。Although tired, everyone spared no effort. They even joked about how happy they were to eat meat and dumplings during the New Year. 。Now that our family is doing well, it's not really a big deal to make dumplings after cutting off some meat. 。But frugality and diligence in managing one's household are deeply ingrained habits for all the impoverished. 。Even with silver, they wouldn't spend it all on meat. 。Besides, everyone got some pork after killing the white pig before. They all thought it tasted better than usual, more fragrant and without any fishy smell, unlike the pork from outside, it was especially delicious. 。The village head, wiping the sweat from his brow, walked over to greet Mrs. Cui and urged them with a smile, "It's too dirty here, and it's all men. You should hurry home." 。You don't need to work, just wait until the end of the year when we kill pigs and eat meat together. 。Both the old woman and Mrs. Cui couldn't help but laugh. Mrs. Cui, being shrewd and worldly-wise, said, “Since we're having meat, I can't just sit here and talk, that wouldn't be right at all.” 。Well, things have been pretty slow on the farm these days. We've got plenty of manpower and transportation but nothing much to do with them. 。Why don't you all come over tomorrow and help haul stones to level out this little path 。"Oh, that's great!" 。I still have a headache. How should this road be repaired It's okay for now, but I'm afraid it will become muddy when it rains on cloudy days in the future. 。The village head was very straightforward and polite, saying again, “If there are pigpens in your village, send over some people who raise pigs or manage them as well.” 。I chatted with him and learned from his experience. 。" Mrs. Cui guessed that the village head was going to find a mate for their farm's sow. She felt embarrassed to discuss it too openly with another woman. " 。She readily agreed, then asked Qiao's wife to hold Jia Yin, while she supported the old woman back to the village. 。The old woman saw that she was blushing all the way, she couldn't help but laugh softly and asked, "Jinerou, do you plan to live your life alone like this from now on" Mrs. Cui was stunned for a moment, not knowing what she was thinking, her face turned even redder, but she still replied, "Auntie, it's not the right time yet. Even if I remarry, I have to wait a few years" 。The old woman recalled Mr. Wen, who lived alone in his small courtyard. She had a plan in mind and patted her hand with a smile. 。Jia Yin stood with her ears perked, listening secretly and couldn't help but giggle. 。Actually, even when she was still on the run in the mountains, she felt that Mr. Wen had feelings for Mrs. Cui. 。After all, in a moment of life or death, being able to risk one's life to turn back and search for someone is not something that everyone can do. 。A simple statement of brotherhood can't possibly explain 。Moreover, even after Mrs. Cui's separation from her husband and the imperial concubine position was vacated, Mr. Wen still refused to marry, causing a falling out with his family over this. 。It seems that these two have fallen for each other. 。But now, Mr. Wen still does not have enough ability to hold the house down. Mrs. Cui's former husband, Duke Dingbei, also jumps around from time to time. 。It’s truly not a suitable time for them to get married. 。Both people on either side were single, and since they often met at Suijin Beach and Liu's family, it wasn't bad. 。As soon as a few people arrived home, they saw Madam Liu accompanying Miss Hui and Mrs. Wu to the back door. 。Now the courtyard was lively, with several women gathered together, talking and giggling happily. 。After Liu's wife became pregnant, she and Li Laerzi divided their work. 。She was in the valley in the morning and went home to rest in the afternoon. 。Just this morning, Old Li was teaching the children to read. In the afternoon, he went to take over his shift. 。Actually, Liu's wife wanted to work all day, but Liu the head鏢 refused. 。Liu Yang was already in his teens, and it had been years since the couple welcomed their second child. They would do everything to ensure a smooth delivery for their baby. 。Don't even mention going to work, nowadays Liu the Headmaster takes care of everything at home, from cooking to laundry. 。When the villagers heard this, they were so scared that their jaws almost dropped. 。Liu Biao Tou, such a rough and tough man, actually became a stay-at-home husband... At this moment, everyone sitting together talked about this matter, still laughing non-stop, and envious of Mrs. Liu. 。Liu's sister-in-law was flustered and red in the face. She peeled some sunflower seeds and fed them to Jia Yin while saying, "Our head bodyguard has been dreaming of having a lucky girl like you for ages. He mentions it to me countless times a day, I'm getting annoyed!" 。" Though she said it that way, her expression was full of joy. " 。“Let Fu Niu hold you more, she’s sure to give birth to a little girl just like her.” 。"Li Lao laughed heartily, and Fu Niu also hugged Liu Sao's neck, sniffing her clothes like a little dog, smelling the soap fragrance on them. This made Liu Sao smile with delight." 。Yesterday I went into town with Huiniang and bought some cloth. I'll make a little dress for Funiu, after all, we can't let Funiu bring me good luck for nothing! 。“No, no need for that. You should keep it for the children's clothes.” 。Fu Ni's wardrobe was overflowing. The Hou Mansion sent over a few sets every few days, and Jin Rou and Yu Ru also always made some for her. 。Even all the clothes of the whole family put together, were not as many as this little girl's. 。" Although others might have opinions, what is mine is mine. " 。Besides, the little girl loves beauty; a few more dresses would be nice. 。 “Is that right, Funiu” she said softly to the little girl in her arms. Funiu smiled, showing a tiny white tooth, and kissed her on the cheek. 。This way, it expresses the desire for a skirt while not contradicting grandma. 。Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and Liu's wife even exclaimed, "This child is too smart, his eyelashes are all empty" 。"This is so small, how will she manage when she grows up!"

“So,” the old woman pointed to Huiniang and said, “I’ve already told Huiniang that she should teach Funiu proper manners and etiquette. It would be best if she also learned embroidery and calmed down her temper" 。Otherwise, this little girl will be a headache when she grows up. 。The whole afternoon was spent in such laughter. 。Dinner was prepared by Lao Tai Li, Qiong Shao, and Dong Mei. Jia Yin flitted around them, both playing and causing mischief, until finally Dong Mei carried her out. Jia Yin took the opportunity to whisper a few words in her ear. 。Donmei nodded in agreement and returned to the next room. 。When Tao Hongying returned from the valley, the dinner table was already set with dishes. She felt a pang of guilt, "Mother, I've made you wait again..." 。"What silly things are you saying, we're all family! You guys are busy, so I'll just cook a meal, it's not tiring at all." 。“The old woman beckoned her daughter-in-law to sit down. Seeing that her daughter-in-law's face was not good, she asked, “Is it still so busy in the valley” Tao Hongying nodded, "My second brother has already told the guests today that they are not allowed to take extra wine. The guests are a little dissatisfied, but I think things will be much better afterwards.” 。" be too gaudy. If anyone wants to buy this one high-end flower, we can sell it."Lao Li listened to this and found it credible, so she asked Xiang Tao Hongying, "What do you think, Hongying"Tao Hongyin...
