After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 225 Treating the Symptoms
As the saying goes, only by treating the symptoms can the disease be cured.

Su Xiaoxiao worked all night, and the next morning she returned to Yuanfeng Town with medicine and a sprayer for spraying pesticides.

Of course, there were no plastic buckets at that time; they were all made of bamboo.

The magistrate of Yuanfeng County was stunned. He was amazed to see Su Xiaoxiao spraying pesticides continuously with this sprayer.

The pesticides that Su Xiaoxiao prepared quickly brought the locusts under control in the fields and saved the crops in Yuanfeng County.

The magistrate of Yuanfeng County was very pleased and bestowed upon Su Xiaoxiao the title of "Insect-Catching Expert," or something similar. He also personally delivered a banner to Xianglan Ancient Town and told Magistrate Huang about Su Xiaoxiao's heroic deeds.

Magistrate Huang and Su Xiaoxiao used to be at odds, but ever since his good-for-nothing daughter, Huang Yuanxin, caused trouble at Su Xiaoxiao's jam shop and was reprimanded by Prince Gong, he immediately learned his lesson.

Knowing that Prince Gong was backing Su Xiaoxiao, what else could he say? He was too busy trying to curry favor with Su Xiaoxiao.

Now that Su Xiaoxiao has received commendation from the magistrate of the neighboring county, he naturally has to put on a show and take the opportunity to publicize Su Xiaoxiao's heroic deeds.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't want to care about this at all. She hadn't even had a chance to attend the celebration banquet that Magistrate Huang had prepared for her. At this moment, she was eager to go home.

She just wanted to see Pei Yuan, Da Bao, and Xiao Bao as soon as possible. She had been gone for more than half a month, and had been delayed for a few more days catching insects in Yuanfeng County. She really missed them.

Su Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiaomei returned to Baihua Village in a carriage. As soon as they arrived at the village entrance, they saw Pei Yuan, Da Bao, and Xiao Bao standing at the entrance, waving to them.

Su Xiaoxiao's heart was pounding with excitement, it was practically bursting out of her chest. How could you not be excited to see Iijima Hiroki? Absolutely! Su Xiaoxiao noticed that Pei Yuan seemed to have become even more handsome after not seeing him for a few days.

Da Bao and Xiao Bao gathered around, asking Su Xiaoxiao all sorts of questions.

Pei Yuan kept smiling at Su Xiaoxiao before finally saying something after a long while.

"You've lost weight? Was the journey too tiring?"

Su Xiaoxiao loves hearing people say she's lost weight, but her figure is anything but fat.

"Yeah, I'll gain weight after I get home for a few days."

Su Xiaoxiao was praised by the village head at the village entrance. Her deeds in helping Yuanfeng County catch pests had already been reported back, and the village head was awarded a banner. The village head was extremely excited. It was the first time he had been praised by Magistrate Huang. How could he not be excited?

All of this was thanks to Su Xiaoxiao, so he was naturally grateful to her.

Su Xiaoxiao was looking forward to going home to take a shower and rest, but the village head was still surrounding her, insisting that Su Xiaoxiao must share her thoughts and speak with the villagers at the awards ceremony.

Su Xiaoxiao really had no choice; she wasn't helping to catch the bugs so she could suffer at some awards ceremony.

I'm just trying to help, and it's a voluntary act of helping without expecting anything in return. Why do I still have to suffer here and share my experiences?

She's not exactly an expert in this field, but she's a modern person with some modern experience, so she should know about this kind of experience.

This is not surprising, so why the praise? Is it so difficult to do good deeds like Lei Feng without leaving a name?

After finally getting everything sorted out, Su Xiaoxiao returned home, took a shower, and could finally relax.

No matter how good things are outside, nothing beats the comfort of home.

Su Xiaoxiao's workshop had been operating very steadily these days, and it was time to hand over the accounts for the month. Sun gave Su Xiaoxiao the account books, and Su Xiaoxiao calculated the profit for the month.

This quarter's dividends were more than three times that of the previous quarter. Su Xiaoxiao started calculating Qian Musheng's share as well, which she would give to him after he returned. Su Xiaoxiao went home to celebrate, making braised pork and braised pork hock for Pei Yuan and the children.

Eating fatty and oily foods frequently is bad for your health, so everyone should eat them in moderation.

You might crave it if you don't eat it for a long time, but eating it frequently is bad for your health.

We need to eat healthily and cleanly to keep our bodies clean.

Every place has its own way of life and eating habits. In some poor places, people eat simply to fill their stomachs and don't really care about such things.

Eating healthily and how to balance nutrition are just empty talk and jokes for them.

If we can't even get enough to eat, why bother with anything else?

It's almost the end of October, and the weather has gotten colder.

It's almost harvest time, and the villagers of Baihua Village are busy in the fields. This is the last crop of the year, and winter is just around the corner.

Everyone in Su Xiaoxiao's workshop has land. Su Xiaoxiao gave them time off, and those who were idle helped with the harvest on Su Xiaoxiao's land. Su Xiaoxiao would pay them wages.

The weather was already starting to feel like winter; it was very cold, and the temperature would sometimes drop sharply.

Seeing that the weather was getting colder, Su Xiaoxiao made several winter coats for Pei Yuan, Da Bao, and Xiao Bao.

The style they made was very trendy, the kind that's popular in their town, of course.

Actually, Su Xiaoxiao was quite particular about her outfit this time; she didn't want to dress too outdated and be ridiculed.

Anyway, dressing decently doesn't have to be extravagant. Silk looks noble, but not many people wear cotton-padded clothes made of silk.

Mink fur is expensive and warm, but it's obtained by killing animals, and Su Xiaoxiao wouldn't do that.

She would go hunting in the mountains herself and make a coat from a tiger skin. Actually, that would be warmer and more stylish, but it seemed to have a strong smell, so it wouldn't be suitable for the house because of the strong muttony odor.

Su Xiaoxiao isn't some powerful bandit leader who sits on a chair with an old leather chair, looking imposing; she doesn't need that.

Wouldn't it be better to convert tiger skins into money?

Su Xiaoxiao went into the city and retrieved the cotton-padded clothes for Pei Yuan and the children from the clothing shop.

When she took it home, her two children, Da Bao and Xiao Bao, flew out to greet her like two little swallows.

They were overjoyed to see their new cotton-padded coats; it had been so long since they had worn such nice coats.

Running around happily, Su Xiaoxiao came to Pei Yuan with the new cotton coat in her hand. "Try it on, does it fit? I had it specially made for you."

Su Xiaoxiao knew that when Pei Yuan was injured before, he didn't really care about his clothes. But now it's different. Can you ask Iijima Hiroki to wear a bulky Northeast-style floral cotton-padded jacket and pants?
Before, when they were poor, Su Xiaoxiao couldn't afford to dress Pei Yuan in anything nice. But now it's different. This cotton coat is a classic style that has stood the test of time. It's both fashionable and elegant.

When Pei Yuan put it on, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened in amazement.

He's practically a model, isn't he? No wonder he's my man, he's so handsome.
