n98 One Set of Clothes for Each Person

nLi Xiao completely ignored Xiao Qing’s gaze. He waited until he finished eating before he thanked Liu Shi and sent Xiao Qing back to the shed.

nAfter the meal, Lin Xiaoyue gave all the cloth to Liu Shi and told her not to embroider pouches during this period of time. She should just make clothes for each of them.

n“I don’t need new clothes.” Liu Shi said.

n“I’ve bought all the materials for all of us.” Lin Xiaoyue grabbed Liu Shi’s arm.

n“The old clothes that we got from the Lin family can’t be patched up anymore. I should have thrown them away long ago. Mom, once you’ve finished making the clothes, our whole family will dress up more neatly. It’ll be better to receive the workers, right?”

nLiu Shi nodded.

n“Alright, I’ll do as you say.” She thought to herself, “I can’t embarrass my daughter.”

nLin Xiaoyue smiled. “Also, check if Aunt Wang and Er Ya are coming later.”

n“If they don’t, please go to them and ask if Aunt Wang and Er Ya can help us cook during the construction period. At that time, there will be so many people, and we won’t be able to handle it. ”

nLiu Shi nodded.

n“We’ll start on the same day as the construction. We’ll prepare two meals a day for them and pay them 70 wen a day.” Lin Xiaoyue continued.

n“Alright, I’ll go talk to them. I think they’ll agree.”

n70 wen a day and meals included. They didn’t have to leave the village either. The pay was good.

nLin Xiaoyue was relieved and told Liu Shi that she would go to Ruyi Restaurant after talking to Li Xiao.

n“Be careful.” Liu Shi warned.

nShe wanted Li Xiao to go with her daughter, but there was still a lot of work at home, so Li Xiao had to stay.

n“I know, mom.” Only then did Lin Xiaoyue leave the room.

nThen, she went to the shed to find Li Xiao.

nAt this moment, Li Xiao was building a stove outside the shed.

nLin Xiaoyue smiled and walked towards him.

n“You’ve tidied up quite well. We just need to build a toilet and a small shower room in the back and we can move everything from the house.”

n“Yes I can finish it this afternoon.” Li Xiao replied.

n“There’s no hurry. It’s fine as long as we can move the things in the house before dark.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled and looked at Li Xiao.

n“Yes.” Li Xiao responded, but his hands didn’t stop.

nLin Xiaoyue felt a little bored.

n“You’ll be in charge of the house. I have to make a trip to town.” She finally said to Li Xiao.

nLi Xiao paused. He stopped what he was doing and looked at Lin Xiaoyue.

n“I am going to Ruyi Restaurant to teach a class. Help me prepare the ox-cart.” Lin Xiaoyue said with a smile.

nLi Xiao’s eyes flashed with a hint of doubt.

n“I’ll send you there,” he said without asking.

n“No need, I already know how to ride the cart. I can park it behind Ruyi Restaurant, and I’ll be back after the lesson.”

n“Make sure Qing’er drinks the medicine this afternoon. Don’t stop the medicine just because he’s getting better.”

n“In addition, after you’ve tidied up this place, you and mom can move the things in the house over. From tonight onwards, we’ll all be living here.”

n“Okay.” Li Xiao responded.

nTomorrow, they would start transporting bricks, and the carpenters and workers who were going into the mountains to chop wood would also come. Although the construction team had not arrived yet, they had to start tomorrow.

n“Alright, let’s go,” he said. Lin Xiaoyue took a deep breath and walked towards the tree.

nLi Xiao quickly followed.
