"Sister, these vegetables are growing so well!" Li Linlin said happily as she looked at the garden full of vegetables.

"Of course. My mother and I come here every day to water, weed and fertilize these vegetables. How can it not be good?" Li Xiaoxiao chuckled.

"Linlin, let's pick some beans today and stir-fry them in the evening." Li Xiaoxiao said as he walked into the vegetable garden.

"Okay, sister, I'll help you." Li Linlin followed her sister and picked beans together.

Soon, the two sisters had picked a large basket of beans. Li Xiaoxiao also picked up some onions, garlic, and green vegetables. "That's enough, Linlin, let's go home." Li Xiaoxiao picked up the basket and said to her sister with a smile.

The two walked hand in hand on the way home, talking and laughing all the way.

"Sister, I'll help you cook later." Li Linlin offered to help.

"Okay, you come and make the fire." Li Xiaoxiao said with a smile.

After returning home, Li Xiaoxiao took a wooden basin and squatted by the well to wash the green vegetables, onions and garlic. Li Linlin also helped.

After a while, the two of them finished washing the vegetables. Li Xiaoxiao carried the washed vegetables into the kitchen, and Li Linlin followed closely behind. Ever since Li Fang started attending school, Li Linlin especially liked to follow Li Xiaoxiao. Li Xiaoxiao also knew that Li Linlin was in need of a playmate, so she just let her go.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Bai had already marinated the fish, and the homemade pickled cabbage was cut into pieces and placed on a plate.

Li Xiaoxiao directly took out a handful of dried chilies that had been dried last year, cut them into sections, and also chopped the onions and garlic.

Li Linlin walked over to the stove and started the fire. Li Xiaoxiao heated up the wok and added oil. She threw the pickled cabbage, chili peppers, and fish bones into the wok and stir-fried them. When the sour flavor came out, she added a spoonful of hot water. After a few minutes, when the fish bones were cooked, she picked them up and put them in a basin. She then put the fish fillets in the wok and brought them to a boil, then poured them all into the basin. She placed the chopped chili peppers, green onions, and garlic on top, then heated up some more oil and poured it directly on top.

A burst of fragrance wafted into Li Linlin's nose, causing her to swallow her saliva continuously.

"Okay, let's just stir-fry some vegetables and we can eat!" Li Xiaoxiao walked out of the kitchen carrying a basin.

At this time, Bai Dong and Bai Jing also walked into the yard with hoes in hand. When they smelled the smell of pickled fish, Bai Jing sniffed hard and said, "Xiao Xiao, what are you doing? It smells so good..." and sniffed again.

"Uncle, this is the fish we bought in town this morning. I made pickled fish. You and uncle, go wash your hands quickly. I'll go stir-fry some vegetables and we can have dinner."

"Okay, we'll be right there." Hearing that there was pickled fish to eat, Bai Jing put down his hoe and ran to the well to wash his hands. Bai Dong couldn't wait to see his eagerness, and he shook his head, wondering when this little brother would start to behave like an adult...

After Li Xiaoxiao finished stir-frying the vegetables, the family sat around the table and enjoyed the delicious pickled fish.

"Well, delicious!" Bai Jing gave a thumbs up.

"Xiaoxiao's skills are getting better and better!" Bai Dong praised her generously.

"Thank you for the compliment. I'm glad you like it." Li Xiaoxiao smiled happily.

After dinner, Li Linlin volunteered to help wash the dishes, and Li Xiaoxiao also helped Bai Shi clean up the dishes. While doing so, Li Xiaoxiao told Bai Shi about her partnership with Xiangmanlou to sell sanitary napkins. Bai Shi was delighted and encouraged her to seize this opportunity.

In the evening, Li Xiaoxiao made a dish of braised pork with pork belly, which made everyone want to eat more.

At night, the family falls asleep early, looking forward to tomorrow's life.

In the following days, Li Xiaoxiao devoted herself to the design of sanitary napkins.

She hopes to create a sanitary napkin that is both practical and beautiful so that more women can benefit from it.

That evening, Yun Che, far away in the capital, received a letter from Shopkeeper Zhao. Reading the contents of the letter, Yun Che's mouth curled up naturally. He thought to himself: I wonder what's going on in this little girl's head. How can she come up with so many novel ideas? Of course, he had no doubt that, as Shopkeeper Zhao had said, if he could seize the opportunity in this sanitary napkin business, the profits he would bring would be enormous.

Ever since Yun Che became interested in Li Xiaoxiao, he had sent people to Lijia Village to investigate Li Xiaoxiao. When he learned that Li Xiaoxiao was once a silly girl, he did not look down on her, but felt sorry for her.

Yun Che immediately wrote back to Shopkeeper Zhao, asking him to proceed according to the plan. He also mentioned in the letter that he would be going to Fengxiang Town (the town where Li Xiaoxiao was) soon.

After receiving Yun Che's reply, Shopkeeper Zhao immediately began to arrange people to set up a production workshop. Thinking that the new sanitary napkin product would be a hit, Shopkeeper Zhao directly chose an idle house of Yun Che in the town as a production workshop, and directly recruited 30 women from outside. They divided it into two groups and began to mass-produce sanitary napkins according to the drawings.

The production of sanitary napkins was not complicated. Half a month later, when Yun Che rushed over, more than 100,000 sanitary napkins had been produced. Although the number sounded a lot, there were not many left after distributing them to various cloth shops across the country.

Horse-drawn carriages carried the two sizes of sanitary napkins to various parts of the country. Almost on the same day, all the cloth shops under Yun Che's name set up display cabinets and began to promote sanitary napkins.

At first, customers were curious about this novel product, but not many people bought it. However, as some female customers tried it and spread the word, more and more people began to pay attention to it and tried to use it.

Li Xiaoxiao also used her free time to promote the benefits of sanitary napkins to the surrounding villagers. Her efforts gradually paid off, and sales of sanitary napkins gradually increased.

Meanwhile, Bai received a lot of positive feedback at home. The women in the village praised the convenience and practicality of the sanitary napkins, which eased Bai's worries.

Seeing the business becoming more and more prosperous, Li Xiaoxiao and Shopkeeper Zhao smiled at each other. They knew that this cooperation would bring more opportunities and benefits to each other.

That day, Yun Che brought gifts and went to Li Village with Shopkeeper Zhao.

Thinking that he would soon meet the person he had been thinking about, Yun Che felt ripples in his heart.

Arriving at the Li residence, they were warmly welcomed by Mrs. Bai. Yun Che expressed his admiration and gratitude for Li Xiaoxiao to Mrs. Bai and presented her with a precious gift. Li Xiaoxiao was flattered, and Yun Che's elegant demeanor further impressed her.

During the conversation, Yun Che proposed further cooperation with Li Xiaoxiao to jointly explore a larger market. He told Bai that his company could provide a wider sales channel, bringing sanitary napkins to more regions and benefiting more women.

Li Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed with excitement, and she gladly accepted Yun Che's proposal. She understood that this was a rare opportunity that would not only allow her creativity to spread, but also bring a better life to her family.

Afterwards, they discussed the specific details of the cooperation and decided to set up a dedicated workshop to increase production. Yun Che promised to provide financial and technical support, while Li Xiaoxiao would be responsible for product development and quality control.

The Bai family compound was filled with joy, and everyone was full of anticipation for the future. Li Xiaoxiao knew this was just the beginning, and many more challenges lay ahead. But she believed that as long as she worked hard, she would achieve her dream.
