Hot Farmer's Wife: Buying a Husband for the Farm

117  The House is Completed

Just then, Lin Xiaozhi walked over.

"Sister, I want more!" He went to Lin Xiaoyue's side and handed the bowl to her.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Lin Xiaozhi and then saw Xiao Qing holding his bowl and looking at her.

"Aunt." She called out shyly.

He had actually called her aunt before, but grandmother Liu had not allowed him to do so.

And because of his uncle and aunt, he couldn't call her sister, so he could only call her aunt.

"You can bring it over too." Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said.

This child had always pretended to be mature, but today, he had the temperament of a child.

After that, Lin Xiaoyue turned around and gave Lin Xiaozhi more cold cakes.

"This is the third bowl. You can't add more after you eat it." He added it and handed it to Lin Xiaozhi.

"I know, sister." The child replied with a smile and walked away with the bowl.

In fact, he was already full. He just wanted to continue eating because he thought the cold cake was delicious. It was fine if she couldn't eat it today. Anyway, her sister knew how to cook. Next time, she could just ask her sister to cook.

After Lin Xiaozhi left, Lin Xiaoyue gave Xiao Qing more cold cakes.

"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so don't add more in this bowl." He instructed.

"Yes, aunt." Xiao Qing's face was red as he took the cold cake that Lin Xiaoyue handed over.

Then, he left.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled. She was about to continue talking to Madam Liu and Madam Wang about what happened just now when she saw a worker coming over.

Several workers saw that there were still cold cakes on the table, and after asking, they also added a bowl.

Then, more workers heard that there were cold cakes to eat and came over.

In the end, the cold cakes were naturally not enough. Lin Xiaoyue told everyone that she would make more in two days, and everyone left.

After everyone had finished eating and put back their bowls, Lin Xiaoyue, Madam Liu, and the others began to clear the bowls and wash the dishes.

The bowl of cold cakes was not oily and could be washed clean with clear water. It was simple.

After they left, Madam Liu and Madam Wang discussed with Lin Xiaoyue about selling cold cakes. Both of them thought that this business could be done.

"I'm just thinking about it. I don't have the time to do this now even if I'm building a house at home." Lin Xiaoyue looked at Madam Liu and aunt Wang.

"That's true. The most important thing right now is to finish building your house." Madam Wang agreed.

"You little girl, you're quite capable!" Then, he gave Lin Xiaoyue a thumbs up.

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Auntie!"

After washing the dishes, Lin Xiaoyue went into the small shed and took out the big bowl of cold Then, he added some brown sugar water and sent it to the village head's house.

Time flew by. Under the Liu family's infinite expectations, the Liu family's house was finally completed 18 days later.

Because Lin Xiaoyue had very high requirements for the interior of the house, the entire construction period was seven to eight days longer than expected. The original twenty-odd days of construction period was reduced to thirty-two days.

The construction team took an extra 30 taels from Lin Xiaoyue to help her lay out the indoor brick bed, stove, as well as the green stone slabs in the room and the courtyard.

Including the expenses for bricks and stone, Lin Xiaoyue did a final calculation. From the start of the construction to the completion of the house, their family had spent a total of three hundred and twenty taels of silver in the past month.

Her mother had taken out all two hundred taels of silver, while she had a total of one hundred and twenty taels.

Before building the house, including the 50 taels that Liang chengcai gave her, she had about 137 taels of silver in her hands at that time. During this period of time, she went to Ruyi Pavillion to sell wild animals almost every day and made some money. After deducting the cost of building the house, she still had about fifty taels of silver in her hands.

Just then, Lin Xiaozhi walked over.

"I want more!" He went to Lin Xiaoyue's side and handed the bowl to her.

Lin Xiaoyue looked at Lin Xiaozhi and then saw Xiao Qing holding his bowl and looking at her.

He looked at her shyly.

He had actually called her "aunt" before, but Liu Shi did not allow him to do so.

"Give that to me." Lin Xiaoyue smiled and said.

This child had always pretended to be mature, but today, he was a child again.

After that, Lin Xiaoyue turned around and gave Lin Xiaozhi more cold glutinous cakes.

"This is the third bowl. You can't have more after this." She put some into the bowl and handed it to Lin Xiaozhi.

"I know." He replied with a smile and walked away with the bowl.

In fact, he was already full. He just couldn't stop because he thought they were delicious. Anyway, his sister knew how to make them. Next time,he could just ask her to make more.

After Lin Xiaozhi left, Lin Xiaoyue gave Xiao Qing more cold glutinous cakes.

"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet, so don't eat anymore."

"Yes." Xiao Qing's face was red as he took the cold glutinous cake that Lin Xiaoyue gave him.

Then, he left.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled. She was about to continue talking to Liu Shi and Aunt Wang when she saw a worker coming over.

Several workers saw that there were still cold cakes on the table, and asked for more.

Then, more workers came over.

Finally, she ran out of cold glutinous cakes. Lin Xiaoyue told everyone that she would make more in two days, and everyone left.

After everyone had finished eating and put back their bowls, Lin Xiaoyue, Liu Shi, and the others began to clear the bowls and wash the dishes.

The bowls were not oily and could be washed with just water. It was simple.

After they left, Liu Shi and Aunt Wang discussed with Lin Xiaoyue about selling the cold cakes. Both of them thought that it was a viable business.

"Let's think about this first. We don't have the time to do this now." Lin Xiaoyue said.

"That's true. The most important thing right now is to finish building your house." Aunt Wang agreed.

"You are quite capable!" Then, she gave Lin Xiaoyue a thumbs up.

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment!"

After washing the dishes, Lin Xiaoyue went into the small shed and took out the big bowl of cold cakes that she had previously kept.

Then, she added some brown sugar water and sent it to the village chief's house.

Time flew by. The Liu family's house was finally completed 18 days later.

As Lin Xiaoyue had very high requirements for the interior of the house, the entire construction period was 7 to 8 days longer than expected. The original 20 or so days of construction period was increased to 32 days.

The construction team took an extra 30 taels from Lin Xiaoyue to help her set up the heater, stove, as well as lay the tiles in the room and the courtyard.

Including the expenses for bricks and stone, Lin Xiaoyue did a final calculation. From the start of the construction to the completion of the house, their family had spent a total of 320 taels of silver in the past month.

Her mother had taken out all 200 taels of silver, while she had a total of 120 taels.

After deducting the cost of building the house, she still had about 50 taels of silver left.
