Su Li's tone changed quickly, which left Aunt Wang and the others somewhat confused, but they still told the truth: "We just help with cleaning and cooking here."

Hearing this, Su Li understood. Seeing the curious looks on Aunt Wang's face, she smiled and said, "Let me tell you all, I'm planning to set up a workshop to make handicrafts. If any of you have daughters who are interested, you can come and sign up."

This was undoubtedly good news. Aunt Wang and the others couldn't help but exchange glances before saying, "Yes, we're willing. The girls don't have much to do at home, so this is a good opportunity to pass the time."

Once the topic turned to their daughters, Aunt Wang and the others couldn't stop talking, their words filled with worry.

Women have a hard life in this world, and their situation becomes even more difficult after marriage. If they have a skill, perhaps their life will be better in their husband's family after marriage.

This is an excellent opportunity, so even though it's not yet certain when the workshop will be built or when people will be recruited, the mere thought of this possibility makes Aunt Wang and the others extremely excited.

Seeing the excited faces of Aunt Wang and the others, Su Li smiled and reminded them, "The matter is not yet confirmed, so please don't tell anyone about it for now."

Upon hearing this, Aunt Wang and the others immediately nodded to indicate that they understood.

……

Leaving with great excitement, Aunt Wang and the others couldn't help but wonder what Lingcheng would become in the future.

Regardless of what Lingcheng ultimately becomes, one thing is certain: it will definitely develop in a positive direction.

After watching Aunt Wang and the others leave, Su Li turned around and went to a side room in the backyard, where the sweet potato seedlings she had cultivated were kept.

Su Li hadn't thought much of sweet potatoes before, but now, looking at the lush green seedlings in front of her, she realized how wonderful they were.

Su Li was certain that, given the sweet potato seedlings cultivated and soaked in the spiritual spring water, as long as there were no major natural disasters or human interference, the survival rate would definitely reach over 90%.

Looking at the rice seedlings in the room, Su Li nodded in satisfaction and said, "These seedlings are very important. They must be handed over to Aunt Wang and the others intact, and we must watch them plant them. You must know that every seedling here is very precious, and losing even one would be a huge loss."

Mo Bei had long understood the importance of the rice seedlings in the room, so he nodded seriously and said, "Your subordinate understands."

Mo Bei was always reliable, so Su Li felt at ease. After instructing Mo Bei to have someone keep an eye on the side room, she went straight back to her room to take care of the baby.

Normally, if Su Li is not in the room, the children are looked after by the wet nurse, but if Su Li returns to the room, then the three children are looked after by Su Li.

Of course, the wet nurses didn't completely abandon their responsibilities; they were on standby in the next room at any time.

Su Li didn't like too many people in the room. Generally, as long as the children weren't making a fuss, the maid would wait outside the door.

For example, right now, only Su Li and the three children are inside the house; the others are either waiting outside or doing other things.

The three children are quite well-behaved. As long as they are well-fed, warmly dressed, and not uncomfortable, they will not make a fuss. For example, right now, all three children are awake, but they are not crying. Instead, they are staring at the ceiling with their round little eyes and playing by themselves.

Perhaps sensing Su Li's presence, the second oldest of the three children couldn't wait to wave his little hands and start making a fuss.

Seeing her second son's behavior, Su Li helplessly hugged him and laughed, "How are you so smart? You knew as soon as I got back."

The child calmed down as soon as he was in Su Li's arms, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He looked adorable no matter how you looked at him.

The maids were all standing guard outside the door, which made it convenient for Su Li. While she was putting the second child on the bed, she carefully dripped a few drops of spiritual spring water into the mouths of the three children.

The three children were already used to the taste of the spiritual spring water, and they waved their little hands happily as soon as they drank it.

At first, Su Li was worried that the spiritual spring water might affect the children's health, but after repeated observation, she found that not only would it not have any effect, but the three children's health improved after drinking the spiritual spring water.

The infant mortality rate was already high in ancient times, let alone the fact that the three children were premature, so Su Li had to be careful. She now feeds the three children a few drops of spiritual spring water every day.

Fortunately, the effect is obvious. None of the three children have been sick in the past two months, and their health has improved.

There were still many things to take care of, and she figured she would be very busy, so Su Li laid the three children side by side on the bed, touched their little hands, and said, "Mommy will be very busy from now on, so be good."

……

Five days passed in a flash, and Zhao Zexuan returned from his patrol outside the city. The first thing he did upon returning home was to visit Su Li and the three children.

Seeing Zhao Zexuan's travel-worn appearance, Su Li said, "Go wash up first before holding the child."

Hearing this, Zhao Zexuan nodded, but still asked with concern, "Have the children been behaving well these past few days?"

Upon hearing this, Su Li knew what Zhao Zexuan was thinking. She held her little daughter closer so that Zhao Zexuan could see her clearly before smiling and saying, "The children are all very well-behaved, obedient, and healthy."

Hearing this, Zhao Zexuan finally relaxed and nodded, saying, "It's good that you're healthy."

Knowing that the children were safe and sound, Zhao Zexuan turned around to wash up. After he finished washing up, he couldn't wait to come and see the children.

Su Li had witnessed Zhao Zexuan's dedication to the three children during this time. Seeing Zhao Zexuan staring at the three children longingly, she smiled and handed her youngest daughter to him, saying, "Hurry up and hold her. Do you think she's too heavy or too light?"

Holding his youngest daughter carefully in his arms, Zhao Zexuan's eyes seemed to overflow with tenderness as he smiled and replied, "She's gotten a little heavier."

“With three children, especially the youngest daughter, who eats and sleeps all day long, how can she not be heavy!” Su Li said.

The little girl in front of me is no longer as thin and small as she was when she was born. Now she is fair and tender, and looks very healthy.

With his three children healthy, Zhao Zexuan was content, which is why he appeared particularly gentle at this moment.

Knowing Zhao Zexuan's purpose in leaving the city, Su Li took advantage of the fact that the three children were asleep and asked in a low voice, "Was the trip successful? What is the situation outside now?"

Hearing this, Zhao Zixuan's expression also became serious. He shook his head and said, "It's not optimistic. This winter has been too long, and the food is all in the hands of those in power. Many people have starved to death outside."

Although she had expected it, Su Li still couldn't help but sigh upon hearing the result, saying, "The rich feast while the poor freeze to death on the streets; this saying is absolutely true."
