As they walked, Li Xiaoxiao remembered the woman who had just called him Brother Yuxuan. Could it be that this man was Li Baoer's fiancé? Li Xiaoxiao felt that she had figured it out.

"Mom, is Li Baoer's fiancé called Zhang Yuxuan?" Li Xiaoxiao asked Bai.

"It seems so. I heard the villagers mention it before. They said it was from our neighboring village." Bai asked uncertainly.

"It seems that Zhang Yuxuan is not as good as the villagers say. If Li Baoer marries him, she probably won't have an easy life."

"That's right, but we should not interfere too much in the affairs of the old house, so as not to get into trouble."

"That's what mother said."

The two talked as they walked, and after asking several people, they finally found the location of the kiln factory. Although it was a kiln factory, it didn't look very big.

Li Xiaoxiao and Bai Shi walked into the factory and found that many people were busy. They looked around for the person in charge and finally saw a middle-aged man.

Li Xiaoxiao walked forward and asked politely, "Uncle, are you the boss here?"

The middle-aged man stopped what he was doing, looked at them and said, "I am, what can I do for you?"

Li Xiaoxiao explained her purpose and said she wanted to order three large jars and eight small jars.

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "No problem. The jars here are all of very good quality. You want so many? Do you run a winery at home?"

Li Xiaoxiao shook her head and explained, "No, I use it to store some things at home."

The middle-aged man took Li Xiaoxiao and Bai to the jars and let them choose. Li Xiaoxiao carefully examined each jar to make sure there were no damage or defects.

Finally, they chose three large jars and eight small jars, bargained for a while, and paid a deposit. The middle-aged man told them that he would deliver the items to her home the next day.

Li Xiaoxiao and Bai left the kiln factory happily, looking forward to the arrival of the new jars tomorrow.

The two hurried back home. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Li Fang and Li Linlin squatting anxiously beside the rabbit hive. Li Linlin was so anxious that she wanted to cry.

Li Xiaoxiao and Bai Shi hurried over, "Linlin, what's wrong? Did someone bully you? Tell me, I'll fight you back."

"Sister, no one bullies me. It's the rabbit. I feed it food but it doesn't eat, and I feed it water but it doesn't drink. I don't know what's wrong, wuwuwu." Li Linlin said crying.

"Linlin, don't cry. Sister will take a look." Li Xiaoxiao said as she walked over to look at the rabbit with a big belly. "Don't worry, the rabbit must be getting ready to give birth. So, Fang'er, go get some dry straw and we'll build a comfortable nest for it to stay alone."

Li Fang quickly ran to find some dry straw, and they worked together to build a warm and comfortable nest for the rabbit.

The rabbit seemed very satisfied with its new home and lay down quietly.

"All we can do now is wait." Mrs. Bai comforted everyone, "It takes time for a rabbit to give birth. We shouldn't disturb it."

Li Xiaoxiao nodded, "I hope everything goes well."

The family stood by the rabbit hive and waited patiently.

After a while, the rabbit began to struggle, and then a small rabbit head poked out.

"Wow, the little rabbit is born!" Li Linlin jumped up with joy.

Little rabbits were born one after another. Li Xiaoxiao counted them and found there were five in total.

Looking at these lovely little lives, the whole family's faces were filled with happy smiles.

In the evening, the family had dinner happily, washed up quickly, and went to bed.

The next morning, Li Xiaoxiao was still feeding the pigs in the yard when someone knocked on the door. "Is anyone home? We're here to deliver the jars."

Mrs. Bai, who was standing nearby, quickly ran over to open the door and had someone bring all the jars in. After everything was put away, Li Xiaoxiao paid the remaining amount to the other party, and the man drove away. Aunt Guifen from the neighboring house saw that Li Xiaoxiao's family had bought so many jars and asked curiously, "Xiaoxiao, what are you buying so many jars for?"

"Auntie, we're going to make something to eat. By the way, Auntie, I see your family has grown some chili peppers. Do you have any extra? If you do, you can sell them to me. I'll pay one cent per pound."

Aunt Guifen was overjoyed when she heard that Li Xiaoxiao wanted to buy her chili peppers. She asked uncertainly, "Xiaoxiao, do you really want to buy our chili peppers? And you're paying one penny per pound?"

"Really, auntie, if you have any extra ones at home, please pick them and give them to me, but make sure they are all good." Li Xiaoxiao replied.

Aunt Guifen quickly responded, "Yes, yes, yes. We planted a lot of peppers this year, so there must be plenty." After that, she went home excitedly to pick peppers.

After a while, Aunt Guifen came over with a large basket of chili peppers. Li Xiaoxiao carefully checked and found that they were all fresh and intact.

Li Xiaoxiao weighed the chilies and found them to be about 20 jin (approximately 50 kg). She paid 20 wen (approximately 100 yuan) to Aunt Guifen. "Thank you, Auntie. If you have more chilies, please give them to me in the future."

Aunt Guifen left with a smile on her face. Li Xiaoxiao looked at the basket full of peppers, thought for a moment, and said to Mrs. Bai next to her, "Mom, the peppers we have at home are definitely not enough. How about we get some more peppers from the village?" Li Xiaoxiao asked Mrs. Bai for her opinion.

"I think it's a good thing for the villagers. So, I'll go ask a few familiar families and ask them to tell the villagers. If they have any, they can send it over. After all, not every family grows a lot of peppers."

"Mom, go ahead. By the way, find Aunt Chen and Sister Guihua and ask them if they'd like to come over tomorrow to help us out for a couple of days and help us make the chopped peppers. Otherwise, it's definitely not possible just by the two of us. The wages will be twenty cents a day."

"Okay, I'll go find your Aunt Chen right away." After saying that, Bai went out.

After Mrs. Bai left, Li Xiaoxiao began washing the peppers. She washed each one and set them aside to dry. Looking at the bright red peppers before her, Li Xiaoxiao's heart was filled with anticipation. She could already see the delicious chopped pepper sauce on the table.

Soon, Mrs. Bai returned with good news. The villagers expressed their willingness to sell their extra chili peppers to Li Xiaoxiao, and Aunt Chen and Sister Guihua also agreed to help make the chopped chili peppers.
