Chapter 59 You are what you eat

Jiang Haibing sighed: "He is an expert, but the furniture you want is all new styles that no one has ever seen before, let alone made."

“I kept emphasizing to them that this was a sample, and that they should use this as a reference when decorating for other people in the future.”

"Aren't we all being overly cautious and afraid to take action?"

Home renovation is always an expensive undertaking.

Furniture is the biggest expense; making all the furniture requires a huge amount of wood.

Jobs are hard to find these days, and the workers are hoping to do well on this job so they can continue working for Jiang Haibing and earning money in the future.

Who would dare use the main supplier's boards to hone their experience?

Especially since this is Jiang Haibing's own sister's house.

If I don't do a good job, I'm afraid I'll be kicked out before I even finish this job.

Jiang Jiani found it both funny and speechless.

No matter when, migrant workers always suffer the most.

"No rush, let's take a look at what's already done."

Jiang Haibing immediately perked up and directed the workers to clean up the ground to reveal it: "Look, this is the terrazzo floor made from the materials you chose."

"No, Jia Ni, people get terrazzo flooring so they can create patterns. If you're not going to create patterns, what kind of terrazzo are you going to use?"

“I saw that other person’s puzzle was so beautiful, it even made a peony. Yours is all one color inside and out, it looks so plain. You might as well use ceramic tiles.”

Modern tiles are generally brightly colored, small in size, and some even have patterns.

Jiang Jianni had absolutely no interest: "I live here by myself, not as a dance hall. Why bother with all that fancy stuff?"

"Looking at those troublemakers at school every day is bad enough for my eyes, so I need to give them a rest when I get back."

The two workers burst out laughing.

"Exactly! Teenagers are the hardest to manage."

Both of them have children at home, and Jiang Jiani's words resonated deeply with them.

Jiang Haibing said sullenly, "So you guys deal with kids the most, huh?"

"Alright, alright, hurry up and look, then we'll talk about this cabinet."

Jiang Jianni then pushed Lu Xiangyang around the house to look at everything.

The project is progressing quite quickly.

Even Jiang Jiani, who is very particular about details, couldn't see the flaws, but there were no major problems.

The thin strip tiles in the kitchen and bathroom are too dense, which is a bit hard on the eyes.

There was nothing we could do.

Nowadays, wall tiles are either thin strips or mosaics; large tiles are practically nonexistent.

Compared to the flashy and difficult-to-clean mosaic tiles, these wall tiles are much easier to maintain.

She then asked Lu Xiangyang for his opinion.

Lu Xiangyang said, "I have no objection. If you think it's good, then it's good."

His home, the military base, and now the fire station all have very simple and neat decorations.

Having grown up in such an environment, he thought Jiang Jiani's idea was quite good.

He couldn't understand the point of putting roses and peonies on the ground. Would it be more comfortable to step on?

After a quick look, Jiang Haibing couldn't wait to pull Jiang Jiani aside and talk about the furniture.

These carpenters have been learning carpentry since elementary school, so new furniture designs are no challenge for them.

What they don't understand is the functional division within it.

The grids vary in size and width, with one large grid measuring a meter and a half in height. I have absolutely no idea what such a large grid is for.

And that shoe cabinet.

It's understandable to leave space below for shoes, but why did they specifically create a small door that's only 20 centimeters wide?

What can you put in such a small space?

Are you putting out socks?

Jiang Jianni patiently explained, and as she finished explaining, everyone looked enlightened.

Jiang Haibing: "...You're just being fussy. You even made a special compartment for an umbrella. What's the point of leaving the table empty? Isn't it just for putting things on?"

Jiang Jianni retorted, "So your room is a mess, like a doghouse."

Jiang Haibing was speechless.

"Fine, I won't hold it against you now that you're married."

Jiang Jiani chuckled.

Once everything was clear, the workers were ready to begin construction.

Jiang Haibing carried Lu Xiangyang downstairs to his wheelchair in one go.

He was panting heavily after climbing two flights of stairs: "Brother-in-law, have you gained weight these past few days? You seem to weigh several pounds more than on our wedding day!"

Although there wasn't much commotion on our wedding day, well, men are bound to make a fuss when they're together.

Lu Xiangyang was the groom that day, and he was tormented by Jiang Haibing and his cousins, who carried him on their backs more than once.

It's only been a few days?

Jiang Haibing felt that Lu Xiangyang had gained at least five pounds.

Lu Xiangyang pursed his lips and remained silent.

He also felt that he had gained weight.

But he can't move now. His mother and Jiang Jiani are afraid he'll go hungry when they eat, so they always pile food on his plate until he's stuffed.

Moreover, both of them believe in the principle of "you are what you eat".

They have all sorts of soups every day, like pork rib soup, chicken soup, pig's trotter soup, and fish soup.

He's been taking supplements every day, and he can't move around much, so it would be strange if he didn't get fat.

Jiang Jianni kicked Jiang Haibing in an annoyed tone: "What do you know? This is to provide enough nutrition so that the bones can grow faster."

"If you're envious, hurry up and find me a sister-in-law. You'll get fat after you get married."

"Mom has been waiting to hold her grandson for years. When are you going to make her wish come true?"

Jiang Haibing laughed heartily: "We'll talk about it again."

"But I reckon we can't count on Mom."

"I'd rather rely on you."

"There's not much difference between a grandson and a granddaughter. You and your brother-in-law should hurry up and have a child."

Jiang Jianni kicked him again in anger: "I'll teach you to talk nonsense!"

She sneered, "Go ahead and do whatever you want every day. Be careful, one day someone will come knocking on your door with a child. I'd like to see where you'll put your face then."

Jiang Haibing didn't care at all: "Then let's get married, what's the big deal?"

This stubbornness is really painful to watch.

Jiang Jianni didn't say a word, and pushed Lu Xiangyang away.

Lu Xiangyang turned to look at his brother-in-law, a little hesitant: "Is your brother's private life messy?"

Jiang Jianni shook her head: "No, he's not that promiscuous. He's just too fickle. He's nice to every girl, but they see through him after dating him for a while and dump him. Otherwise, he wouldn't still be unmarried."

Thinking of Jiang Haibing's endless list of philandering affairs, she shook her head again: "I really don't know what kind of girl he'll meet before he can settle down and live a good life."

Fortunately, Jiang Haibing is a man.

If a girl changes boyfriends every few days and never gets married, who knows what people will say about her.

Just as Jiang Jianni was reflecting on life, a girl hurriedly walked by.

Jiang Jianni couldn't help but turn around and look, nudging Lu Xiangyang: "Look, look! Look! Isn't this girl pretty? Doesn't she look like the Apricot Fairy from 'Journey to the West'?"

Lu Xiangyang was speechless for a moment: "You..."

What kind of wife would deliberately let her husband look at other women?

He had only uttered one word when the girl shouted aggressively, "Jiang Haibing! Why are you running?! Stop right there!"

? ? ?

Jiang Jianni had already turned around, but when she heard the other person call out Jiang Haibing's name, she immediately turned her head back sharply, and with a snap, she stopped moving.
