Xiao Lingyu felt strange. Why did these words sound so similar...
"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten. We need to quickly build the paper mill and orchard. Tomorrow we'll go to the county and buy a few truckloads of fresh flowers and potted plants to continue making perfume..."
"Madam Su." He Jianzhang came towards her quickly. "The house will be completely finished after the roof is sealed in three days. Could you please check if the fire wall talisman meets the requirements?"
"Boss, go get some firewood for the new house."
Xiao Lingyu turned around and led Su Xingyi and others into the large flat that had not yet been roofed.
"Wow, it's so big and bright here, and I can see white clouds." Xiao Xier looked up at the roof.
Su Ningjie patted her head and said, "The roof hasn't been tiled yet, so of course you can see the white clouds."
Xiao Xier was embarrassed, "Second brother, I know."
"Brother, sister, come and look here, these two windows are so big that they almost reach the ground."
Su Xingyi turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. The family was standing in the main hall, which was estimated to be about 80 square meters. There were huge lattice windows on both sides of the main door.
The wall on the north side of the main hall is decorated with small lattice windows on eight sides. Inside is a compartment of several dozen square meters, and there are also windows on the inner wall. It is a north-south transparent house with good lighting.
The left and right walls of the main room are fire walls, and there are small stoves on both sides of the walls.
"Madam Su, do you think the fire wall will work? It should be able to heat it up, right?"
Xiao Lingyu checked the fire walls in each room. "There's nothing wrong with the fire walls. As for whether they can heat up, we'll know after we've tested them... Boss, light a fire and boil some water on the small stove on the left wall of the main hall."
"Let Dad do it." Su Xingyi quickly took over the job.
"Master Su, let me do it." Wei Ying quickly took over the job.
Su Ningjie, who was not far away, gave Wei Ying a look of great admiration.
Su Ningjie glanced at Xiao Lingyu and thought about sending a few maids to serve his mother and sister.
Well, I will start arranging this matter when I return to the county tomorrow.
"It's hot, it's hot, this wall is really hot."
Xiao Xier's excited voice rang out in the empty flat, instantly attracting the attention of several villagers who were building the courtyard wall. They all put down their work and touched the warm fire wall.
It’s really hot.
It seems like the firewall can really help me survive the winter. I'll rebuild it when I get back...
Amidst the chatter of several villagers, Xiao Lingyu checked the smoke exhaust duct.
There was no smoke, so he asked Wei Ying to extinguish the fire and said to He Jianzhang with a smile: "Master He, the firewall is what I had in mind. I'm sorry for the trouble you have had these days."
He Jianzhang touched the warm wall and said, "Madam Su, I've benefited greatly from building your house. However, I plan to report this fire wall to the Huayang County government, and then have it report it to the court. What do you think?"
"This is a matter of benefit to the people, and I will definitely support it. However, winters in the north are much colder than in the south, and simply rebuilding the firewall is far from enough..."
Xiao Lingyu took He Jianzhang aside and briefly explained the principle of the kang in a low voice.
"Master He, the north is too far away for us to take care of it for now. This fire wall needs to be popularized and improved in the surrounding villages of Xishui County before winter. I will stop by the government office tomorrow. You still need to teach this to the villagers, and the county government will reward you."
He Jianzhang was surprised when he heard this. "Madam Su, if the county government wants to reward you, it should be for you."
The wealthy families in the city knew the function of the firewall, so they would ask He Jianzhang, a professional, to do the renovations, which would cost a lot of money. Xiao Lingyu never thought about making money from it.
Xiao Lingyu smiled and said, "I only conceived the firewall. You are the one who actually built it."
"Okay, we have to go back. It's time to make lunch."
Then the family left the flat, and He Jianzhang looked at Xiao Lingyu's back thoughtfully...
At lunch time.
Seeing Su Xingyi reaching out to pick up the bowl in front of him, Xiao Lingyu quickly picked up the bowl and chopsticks and put a few pieces of braised pork ribs into Su Xingyi's bowl.
"Xingyi, you've worked hard farming with the children today. Eat more to replenish your body."
Su Xingyi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll eat more."
"Mom, we want it too."
The four children stared at the spareribs in Su Xingyi's bowl and felt a strong sense of crisis.
Especially in the past two days, their father has been very abnormal. He has started to personally help their mother wash, dress, and eat.
My mother was so happy that my father spoiled her that she actually picked up some food for him while eating. How could this continue?
"You all have it. Mother won't favor one over the other." Xiao Lingyu hurriedly picked up some food for the four children.
"Mother, I can't bite the meat off the bones."
Xiao Xier stared at the spareribs in the bowl, puzzled.
In the past, her mother would tear the meat off the ribs and feed her.
I actually forgot about it today.
Xiao Lingyu quickly tore the meat off the ribs and fed it to her, and Xiao Xier instantly smiled happily.
Seeing this, Su Ningwen turned his head to glance at Su Xingyi. His father was actually quietly picking out fish bones next to him and secretly putting them in his mother's bowl.
Su Ningwen realized something instantly, picked up a large piece of fish from the plate, carefully picked out the fish bones, and put the fish into Xiao Lingyu's bowl.
"Mother, this is the fish I picked up. The bones have been picked out and you can eat it directly."
Xiao Lingyu took a look at the large pieces of fish in the bowl and felt warm in her heart. They were all picked for her by the third brother. He was so filial!
"Brother Wen, this is enough for us to eat. Don't give any more food to mother. Keep it for yourself."
Su Ningwen looked at Su Xingyi, who had an unnatural expression, and complained in his heart: Don't be nice to mother secretly, otherwise she won't know and will misunderstand that others are nice to her.
"Mother, you were feeding your sister pork ribs just now. The other pieces of fish in the bowl were picked up by Dad for you."
Xiao Lingyu smiled gently, "You and your son both dote on me, and I'm very happy."
After Xiao Lingyu finished speaking, he picked up the bowl and ate the fish in it, stealing a few glances at Su Xingyi.
Does this guy like her? What's the meaning of secretly being nice to her?
In the afternoon, after Xiao Lingyu coaxed Xiao Xier to sleep, he came to the bedroom door and looked at Su Xingyi who was sitting at the table drinking tea.
At this moment, his eyes were sleepy. Xiao Lingyu gently opened the door, walked out and sat opposite him.
Xiao Lingyu clearly saw that the sleepiness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and his dark and deep eyes lit up instantly.
Su Xingyi quickly poured Xiao Lingyu a cup of cold tea.
"Xiao Yu, have some tea."
Xiao Lingyu picked up the teacup and sipped the tea slowly, his eyes fixed on the expression on Su Xingyi's face. His rosy face seemed very excited.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Tomorrow I have to go to the county to discuss the paper mill with A Yuan. I also have to ask Xu Yulan about the revenue of the milk tea shop in the past few days. I also have to go to the government office and review my brother's situation."
When Su Xingyi heard the last sentence, his brows frowned slightly.
"I haven't seen my brother in three days. I wonder how he's recovered. He came all the way here injured to find me. I wasn't at Luoxia Cottage these three days, so I really neglected him."
