"Ah Yao, you really don't need to go with us?"
Su Shuiche pulled Lin Siyao, who was about to go to Flower Town to tidy up the new house, and asked hopefully.
It was said that all the furniture for the new house had been finished. Apart from the courtyard, they still needed to pave a small path with green bricks.
Also, based on what Lin Siyao said, he planned to remove the fence, which was no different from an ordinary fence, and replace it with a wooden fence that was as tall as a person. He would also install a double-wide courtyard door.
He didn't want her to touch any of these things.
He would rather leave her alone in the inn with the two wolf pups, or hide in the room to sew new clothes.
But now, all the cloth he bought before had been turned into new clothes, and he still didn't want her to go with him. What else could it be but that he thought she was useless?!
Lin Siyao sighed inwardly when he saw the eagerness in her eyes.
He nodded helplessly, "Be careful when you get there. Don't hurt yourself."
Su Shuiche naturally agreed.
Then she turned around to pack up the door and window curtains that had been sewn a long time ago, and planned to take them to install them.
"I'm not busy.
The house still needs to be cleaned. "Lin Siyao took the big bag from her hand and put it in the suitcase.
He didn't want the curtains that she had spent a whole day sewing without eating or drinking. He didn't want them to get dirty after hanging them for a few days.
"Oh, oh." Su Shuiche nodded obediently.
She hadn't been there since she bought the house. She didn't know how it looked after the renovation.
Hehe … She was looking forward to it!
…
"Look, look, this is the house …"
"I can't tell. He's so young. Where did the peddler come from?"
"I don't know.
I heard from Hua Sao that the furniture in their house is made of wood that I've never seen before.
She snatched a piece of leftover wood and took it home to use as a chopping board. She said it's very useful, and it doesn't leave any greasy sawdust. "
"Tsk tsk, Hua Sao's wife is really thick-skinned.
You actually have the nerve to come here and pick up scraps. "
"Sigh … I heard from the Tian Family's sister-in-law that her husband did woodwork for this family for twelve days and received six hundred copper coins and a very large piece of wood. These few days, she has been urging her husband to make a new table."
"Really?
Tsk tsk!
I heard from the village chief that Cripple Wang also went this time. Not only did the main family not despise him, they even rewarded him with a large piece of wood. His wife also let him make a bathtub.
Sigh, why didn't my husband learn carpentry back then! "
…
When Su Shuiche and Lin Mengya walked by the large pond in the center of Flower Town, several women who were sitting under the shade of a willow tree and chatting while doing needlework saw them and began to discuss in low voices.
Of course, Su Shuiyin's sharp ears still managed to hear some of it.
"Your contribution?" Su Shuiche looked at him with a smile that wasn't a smile, secretly laughing in her heart.
This time, the women in Flower Town would probably send their men to learn carpentry.
Lin Siyao raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything.
What did this have to do with him?
It was nothing more than him asking for a reward, and the four carpenters did it.
"Then … is there enough wood for the wooden fence?"
Su Shuiche thought of the plan to rebuild the fence. Since the scraps were all distributed, where would the wood come from?
"Of course there is." Lin Siyao glanced at her with a smile.
He indicated that she didn't need to worry.
He didn't tell her that four days ago, he went to Dashi Mountain again. But this time, he cut down dozens of Nanmu trees that were as thick as thighs to be used to build the wooden fence.
He didn't call for another handcart, but tied them on his back and transported them back to the backyard of the new house.
Other than Feng Laoliu, who was hired by him to help cut the fence, no one else knew.
Feng Laoliu was originally a tight-lipped person.
Four days ago, he finished the carpentry work and received a salary that was equivalent to several months of his salary. He also received a large piece of wood that was enough to make a small desk for his grandson. Naturally, he obeyed Lin Siyao.
What's more, Lin Siyao also promised to give him all the remaining Nanmu wood.
Such a good thing, Feng Laoliu didn't hesitate. Every day after breakfast and dinner, he came to cut the wooden fence and didn't go back until it was time to light the lamps.
For four consecutive nights, he sawed enough wooden fences to cover the entire yard. He was waiting for the day when he didn't have to work, so he came to help install and collect the remaining wood.
…
"What's wrong?" Lin Siyao saw Su Shuiche, who didn't blink and didn't move, and asked with a puzzled frown.
Did she not like the color of the wood he chose?
"Ah Yao … Did you … Did you really cut these from Dashi Mountain?" Su Shuiche looked at the red sandalwood wood that was used to make furniture in the room.
She gently stroked the delicate round table in the middle of the bedroom. The patterns on the table were as delicate as chicken wings, and the fragrance was as light as balsam. It was really chicken wing wood!
She sighed secretly.
She remembered that years ago, her grandfather asked someone to find an armchair made of chicken wing wood. He cherished it so much that he didn't even let her and her brother touch it.
But now, Su Shuiche looked around the bedroom and found that she had a room full of chicken wing wood furniture.
How could she not be shocked?
"This wood … Is there a problem?" Lin Siyao heard her question and frowned.
"This is chicken wing wood. The seeds are red beans, so it's also called Acacia wood.
The wood is hard and solid, has a faint fragrance, and is not easy to be eaten by insects.
In short, it's very precious. "Su Shuiche turned her head and briefly described what she knew about chicken wing wood.
"Acacia wood?" Lin Siyao bit on one of the words and glanced at Su Shuiche with a smile that wasn't a smile.
The meaning was very good.
It seemed that her choice at the beginning was not wrong.
From her short period of shock to her joy when she came back to her senses, it could be seen that she liked the furniture made of wood very much.
"Blood beech is also very precious, although it's not as expensive as chicken wing wood." Su Shuiche murmured.
Looking at the furniture made of blood beech outside the bedroom, she was a bit absent-minded.
Heavens, didn't they say that the furniture here was not cheap?
But she could use such a complete set of furniture made of rare and precious wood.
Yes, these were all taken from the depths of Dashi Mountain by this man.
Su Shuiche's heart rippled.
Although he never said much and always used his actions to make her guess.
But it was this kind of him that made her gradually fall in love with him.
Only then did she understand that in the past, she only liked Brother Xinyi as an elder brother. But now, this kind of attachment from the bottom of her heart was comparable to: one day without seeing each other was like three years of time.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Siyao asked with a frown after he finished instructing Feng Laoliu how to nail the wooden fence in the backyard. As soon as he entered the living room, he saw Su Shuiche standing by the newly built big kang, just like when he went out. Her hands were placed on the table on the kang.
Hearing this, Su Shuiche came back to her senses and blinked. "Ah Yao …"
"Hmm?" Lin Siyao pulled her to sit on the edge of the kang and turned to look at her in confusion.
"Nothing."
Su Shuiche thought of her thoughts just now. She shyly pulled her lapel and changed the topic. "By the way, didn't you say that you were going to lay bricks and fence today?"
"Yes.
Feng Laoliu is already nailing the fence.
The bricks will arrive in the afternoon. I don't think there's time to lay them today. "Lin Siyao saw that there was nothing wrong with her, so he got up and handed her a gourd filled with water.
Su Shuiyin took a small sip and thought for a moment. She had to do something.
"Then I'll do the cleaning.
The house should be tidied up, right? "
Lin Siyao nodded and took a sip of water from the gourd.
Su Shuiche couldn't help blushing.
Seeing that Lin Siyao didn't seem to care at all, she had to lower her head and pretend that she didn't see it.
But the strong heartbeat in her chest reminded her that this was an extremely intimate thing.
Lin Siyao's eyes flashed with a subtle smile.
He naturally knew what it meant when they drank water from the gourd.
But he was suddenly in a good mood and wanted to see her reaction.
Unexpectedly, she only blushed and didn't say anything to stop him.
What did this mean?
She had gradually accepted the intimacy of the two in broad daylight.
Lin Siyao's eyes darkened. When they moved into the new house, it meant that the two of them were going to get married.
Otherwise, he glanced at the two-meter wide bed in the bedroom. Was he going to sleep on the cold stone floor?
