The matter of arranging an identity for Fuyin was temporarily put on hold because Fuyin still had a lot to learn.

Until the Chinese New Year, Shen Huaixu's days were busy and fulfilling.

First, the sweet potatoes she presented to the emperor and empress bore fruit. They were not big and there were not many of them. The emperor and empress tasted one with great care and found that it was indeed almost the same as Shen Huaixu had described. They then ordered the Sinong Temple to vigorously cultivate sweet potatoes.

Sinong Temple also specially found Shen Huaixu to teach them the cultivation method. After Shen Huaixu personally went to Sinong Temple to give some guidance, he wrote down the planting methods and precautions of sweet potatoes in the booklet they prepared.

Later, Shen Huaixu returned to Beichuan County. Shen Su was too busy with official duties to spare the time, so he had to personally send Shen Huaixu to the boat.

Zheng Li Niang gave birth to a boy at the end of August, a full-term baby boy who was well-nourished. On Jiang Boliang's return trip, he and his companions hurried to catch up with the birth.

She was unable to go back when her sister-in-law gave birth, and this time she went back to see her eldest nephew.

The day to return to Beichuan County was chosen by Shen Huaixu by counting on his fingers the hundredth day after his eldest nephew left. He did not send any letter to Beichuan County before leaving.

The ship docked at the Beichuan County Pier. Shen Huaixu looked at the familiar scenes around him and felt as if he was in another world.

On the way to the house her family bought in the county, she passed by Qingnang Pavilion. She walked in and everyone's eyes were on her.

The doctors were all busy. A passing medicine boy looked her up and down and felt that her face looked familiar. However, although the person in front of him was dressed in ordinary clothes, his aura was definitely not that of an ordinary person. How could he recognize her?

I still couldn't figure out who that person was until he disappeared from my sight.

Shen Huaixu came to Kang Ping's desk with a smile on his face.

"Doctor Kang, I'm here to see the patient."

Kang Ping was writing something at his desk. He didn't even look up when he heard this. "Tell me where you feel uncomfortable first. Wait a minute..."

The voice stopped abruptly because he felt that the voice was strangely familiar. He looked up and saw a pair of smiling eyes in front of him.

His eyes gradually widened, "Xu girl? Is it really you?!"

"It's me." Shen Huaixu said with a smile, "Brother Kang, you haven't changed much from before."

"You are different. You have changed so much that I almost didn't recognize you." Kang Ping didn't expect Chen Huaixu to return to Beichuan County so quietly.

He asked, "Have you gone home to check it out?"

"No, I was just on my way home when I passed by the Qingnang Hall, so I came in to see you and the other doctors. Has Brother Kang seen my nephew? Is the child in good health? Where's A-Fu? Wasn't she admitted to the Qingnang Hall by Manager Pei?"

Seeing Shen Huaixu's face full of curiosity, Kang Ping couldn't help but smile and said, "Everything is fine. They are healthy and strong. Afu should be drying herbs in the backyard. You have become the county lady, why are you still the same as before?"

"It's just a new name, not a new person, so how can it be different?" Shen Huaixu sat down directly opposite Kang Ping and smiled apologetically at the people queuing behind him, "Sorry, uncle, it's still early for me. Please go and see the old doctor."

She was pointing to the place where Dr. Qiao was treating patients.

The uncle's face was filled with fear. He heard Kang Ping say the word "County Lady". The little girl in front of him was a County Lady?

Without saying much, he went to queue somewhere else with full of questions.

Kang Ping held his forehead and said, "I'll go tell the shopkeeper to take you and Afu home. We can talk it over when we get home."

"That's fine. I'll go say hello to the other doctors and the shopkeeper first."

After saying hello, Shen Huaixu followed Kang Ping and Jiang Fu to the door of his house.

Shen Huaixu asked Jiang Fu, "Is my second brother studying in the academy?"

Jiang Fu's smile never faded. "He's at the academy. My second brother is very busy right now. I don't see him often."

Kang Ping knocked on the door and after a while someone came to open it.

"Who is it... Doctor Kang? Why are you here... Little sister!" When Jiang Wei saw Shen Huaixu's face behind Kang Ping, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide in surprise.

"Why did you come back? Why didn't you tell us in the letter? We didn't even know!"

"I have a surprise for you!" Shen Huaixu walked into the house. "Isn't this because I miss my sister-in-law? I couldn't be home when she gave birth. My nephew is already a hundred days old, so I have to come back to see him. Otherwise, I won't recognize him when I walk on the street in the future."

At this time, a familiar voice came from a room in the east, "Sister Wei, who's home?"

"Sister-in-law! It's my youngest sister! My youngest sister is back!!" Jiang Wei rushed into the house and announced the good news.

Soon, the two of them poked their heads out of the house at the same time. Zheng Li Niang looked plumper than before. She was pleasantly surprised at first, then suddenly burst into tears, "She's back, my little sister is back..."

Shen Huaixu hurriedly stepped forward, "Sister-in-law, I'm lying to myself that you're crying because you're happy to see me..."

Zheng Li Niang was immediately at a loss for words, "That's right, I'm crying for joy."

She raised her hand and touched Shen Huaixu's fair cheek, her smile becoming more gentle, "You've grown taller and more mature, and you've gained some weight, and you've become more beautiful."

Shen Huaixu has always liked this sister-in-law, not only because the food she cooks is delicious, but also because she is very gentle.

"Sister-in-law, you are also beautiful, and you are getting more and more beautiful."

"Girl, do you have honey on your lips?"

…

As they were talking, they went into the house to look at the doll. Seeing that they were so happy that they had forgotten about themselves, Kang Ping said to Jiang Fu, "Afu, tell Xu girl that I will come back later."

"Yes, Dr. Kang, please drive slowly. There will be wine tonight."

Kang Ping smiled, patted Jiang Fu on the head, and turned away.

In the evening, everyone in the family except Jiang Erlang who was still in school gathered together. While chatting and laughing, Jiang Huaixu also learned a lot of things.

Later, more people came into the spice shop in Beichuan County. After Uncle Yan took over, Lu Hui traveled more and more frequently between Huaizhou and Ganzhou. The people in Jiuxi Village trusted them and devoted themselves to farming and grinding spices.

Now, the villagers of Jiuxi Village not only have to work on their own farmland, but have also leased a few small hills to grow some medicinal herbs. They are much busier than before.

Thanks to the potatoes planted by Shen Huaixu before, several families with the surname Jiang asked for some potatoes and planned to plant them themselves. Unexpectedly, the harvest this year was not bad, and they plan to plant more next year.

Shen Huaixu didn't plan to make money from crops like sweet potatoes and potatoes, which had good yields even in famine years, as she had no shortage of money.

As for peppers, some were planted in the spring of this year and were strictly controlled by Jiang Boliang and Jiang Zhengmao. The seeds were kept after harvest and then ground into powder.
