Chapter 622 (Page 1/2)
The next morning, after breakfast, the children hurried to the Youth Palace for class, and the house suddenly became quiet.
At this moment, Lin Man gently closed the account book, turned to Huo Qinghuan and said, "Qinghuan, let's check the accounts now. Calculate the labor costs and material costs of renovating the house during this period and see how much money we spent."
After saying that, she placed a thick stack of bills on the table.
The two men began to carefully check every expense, their pens scratching on the paper.
As time went by, a shocking figure gradually emerged - a total of more than 2,800 yuan had been spent! This amount made both of them stare wide-eyed.
Huo Qinghuan was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. He said in disbelief, "Oh my God... Sister-in-law, how could it cost so much for just a simple renovation? This money is enough to buy a small courtyard!"
As he spoke, he repeatedly confirmed the total in his draft notebook.
At this moment, Huo Li, who had been sitting silently nearby, glanced at Huo Qinghuan calmly and said slowly, "The glass panoramic greenhouse your sister-in-law built in the front yard cost a lot of money."
Hearing this, Huo Qinghuan thought of the panoramic glass greenhouse in the front yard and immediately turned his gaze to Lin Man, asking curiously and cautiously:
"Sister-in-law, I can understand you building a practice room and a music room. After all, some of us like to practice martial arts and play the piano. But why do you want a greenhouse? Do you want to grow flowers?"
Facing Huo Qinghuan's question, Lin Man smiled slightly and replied gently, "This greenhouse is prepared for your eldest brother. When he comes back, he can grow some beautiful flowers in it. And as you know, your eldest brother likes to play with flowers and plants on weekdays."
Huo Qingci likes to grow medicinal herbs, but actually it is Lin Man who likes to grow flowers, but she doesn't want the Huo family to know that it was she who wanted to do it.
Huo Li knew clearly that his eldest grandson had planted a large area of precious orchids in his space.
The eldest grandson once mentioned that when the time is right, he will take those beautiful orchids out of the space and sell them.
My grandson's wife built a greenhouse in the courtyard in advance, and the money was well spent.
Lin Man looked at Huo Qinghuan seriously and asked softly, "Qinghuan, you paid the workers' wages yesterday. Did you also pay the glass factory for the glass?"

Huo Qinghuan nodded slightly and responded, "Sister-in-law, it's exactly as you said. The wages were all settled yesterday, but the glass factory still has some final payments to make. All other expenses have been settled."
Hearing this, Lin Man nodded and said, "Is that so? I'll go back to my room and get some money and give it to you. Take this money and quickly pay the balance to the glass factory. We'll return to the military hospital early next week, so I'll be sorry to have you working hard these past few days."
At this moment, Huo Qinghuan seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Sister-in-law, when do we start picking the dates in our backyard? Why don't we start this afternoon?"
Lin Man thought for a moment, then replied, "As for the dates, there's no rush. We can still pick them when we're ready to leave next week.
But when you come back later, you have to pick the pomegranates and grapes first, because grandpa plans to give them away as gifts this afternoon."
Huo Qinghuan nodded obediently and replied, "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll remember that! By the way, sister-in-law, do you want to make some wine this year?"
Lin Man smiled and replied affirmatively, "Of course I will. Pick all the grapes today and I will start making wine tomorrow."
While the two were talking, Huo Li stood up and walked out. Lin Man knew that her grandfather was going out for a walk.
When Lin Man saw her grandfather leave, she got up and went back to her room to get money for Huo Qinghuan. After Huo Qinghuan left, she went back to her room and entered the space.
Bring out the grill, light the litchi charcoal, take out the five-spice beef strips that had been marinated early in the morning, and start grilling them slowly.
The 1,200-jin blue ox she slaughtered yesterday had a meat yield of 55%, and she harvested a total of more than 660 jin of beef.
Lin Man took out 200 kilograms of beef and froze them in the cold storage, took out 300 kilograms of beef to make beef jerky, took out 140 kilograms of beef to make braised beef and beef sauce, and put the remaining fresh beef in the refrigerator to be eaten slowly this week.
