Lin Anru did what he said and went to find a carpenter the next day.
The wood in their house was still from trees, so it was impossible to make doors from them. They could only cut them down and exchange them with the carpenter. In the end, they spent two hundred coins to get the job done.
"Master, how long will it take to make it?"
The small room was filled with herbs, making it even more oppressive to be in. Add to that the fact that there were over a dozen different herbs in this small room, and the smell was unbearable.
He now urgently needs to move them to another place.
"It will be done in less than three days. Just wait patiently."
The carpenter replied with a smile that it was just a simple door and did not need any fancy patterns. He could finish it in one day.
As for the three days he mentioned, it’s because he still has some unfinished work on hand!
With the exact time, Lin Anji couldn't wait to go back and share it with his family.
"I'll order a custom gate for the yard first, and I'll make the door for the room myself when I have time." Lin Anru shared her plan: "My eldest brother and I will build the wall around the yard in the next few days. We'll make it high. Once the gate is installed, outsiders won't be able to get in."
He doesn't know how to do some fine carpentry work, but he can still do the rough ones himself. Anyway, outsiders can't enter the yard, so the house is much safer, so it doesn't matter if the quality of the door is poor.
"That's great! I finally don't have to smell this stench every day."
Lin Boyu first expressed his feelings. He said that the smell of a single herb was refreshing, but the smell when combined together was hard to describe, and it was similar to the medicine he took.
Lin Shiyu was also very happy. If there was a good gate, then there must be a good wall to match it.
Good walls = safety.
No need to worry about the big bug next year.
The sense of security we feel today is given by the wall!
Liu looked at her happy children and the corners of her mouth curled up. She had been taking medicine since she was a child and had long been accustomed to the taste of these herbs. She really had no worries about the children.
She couldn't imagine that the children "hated" the taste so much.
"Three days, just be patient for three days, and we can live in our new house!"
Lin Boyu happily pulled his sister around in circles.
The decision to move to the new house as soon as possible was the result of a discussion among the whole family.
My daughter always feels hungry at noon, but in the old house, Mrs. Liu doesn't dare to cook for her daughter.
I still remember clearly the unpleasant argument I had with my second wife not long ago over adding eggs to my daughter's food.
If I were to cook at noon, I wouldn't know what kind of scene would turn out. Even if I were to spend my own money, people would have to believe in me. If they didn't, there would still be trouble.
In addition, the old house is located in the middle of the upper village, with people coming and going. They don’t know how outsiders will interpret them if they eat one more meal a day.
Even after moving to a new house, we still had to eat an extra meal secretly behind closed doors.
In response, Lin Shiyu said to Lin Anru: Dad, if you were an official, these things would not exist, so when will you take the exam to become an official?
Finally, Lin Anru ended her question with a "pat on the head".
The four people's conversation time soon ended.
After waiting for a whole night, the anxious villagers could no longer wait to come to the Lin family to get the medicine.
Lin Anru and his daughter did a smooth job of distributing the medicine and collecting the final payment.
Lin Boyu looked at his father and sister and felt both proud and inferior. He knew he still needed to work harder to help them.
Lin Boyu, who was unable to help, was dragged out by his mother to continue picking herbs.
The pace of making money never stops.
The last villager left with the herbs. Lin Shiyu stretched and looked at Lin Anru and asked, "Who are the remaining four sets of herbs for?"
Lin Shiyu asked this question because Lin Anru had the list in her hand.
Lin Anru didn't even glance at the list and answered directly: "I bought those extra things. I planned to give them to your grandparents, as well as to me and your mother."
When Lin Shiyu heard that it was for the two elders of the Lin family and her own parents, she didn't care anymore.
As long as it’s not given to someone from the second wife, everything will be fine.
"After dinner, take your grandparents' pulse."
"OK!"
Lin Shiyu agreed immediately and looked forward to dinner.
It's only noon now π_π, when will the days without lunch end?
After the villagers received the medicine, their lives became peaceful. The medicine would take two days to take effect, and they would have to come back for a follow-up visit on the seventh day. Lin Shiyu's life became peaceful.
Every day, Liu took him out early and back late to pick herbs. The surrounding map area was unlocked one after another, and the number of new herbs added to the house increased day by day.
I can now be self-sufficient in prescribing medicine for some minor pains and illnesses, which ensures my life and gives me a full sense of security.
The life of the third wife returned to normal, but the life of the villagers in Yamada Village was bustling.
Toilets are their main focus and a hot topic of discussion.
At Lin Shiyu's place, the families who bought medicine were the most concerned about the toilet. Those who didn't buy medicine were not idle either, and ran to the families who bought medicine to watch.
They don't mind the smell. As long as someone comes out, the villagers who know them will come up and ask, "Did you poop?"
The scene was as normal as asking "Have you eaten?" when they met each other on ordinary days, which made people from other villages who came to visit suspect that the people in Yamada Village had some serious illness.
Three days passed in a flash, and the door of the three-bedroom new house was finally installed.
My plan to move in was disrupted.
“Why!!!”
Lin Boyu shouted, he had already made an agreement with his friends that he would live in the big house and have his own room.
The word had already been spoken, but now they said he couldn't move in, which made him lose face in front of his friends.
"We have to wait a little longer. We have to hold a housewarming party before we can move in."
It's really not Lin Anru's fault. This is the custom here. When moving into a new house, you have to invite everyone to warm the house and have a housewarming party before you can start cooking in the new house.
Otherwise, you will not be allowed to cook in your new home.
As long as customs do not have a big impact on her, Lin Anru is still willing to abide by them.
"A wedding banquet? We're going to have one at home?!"
Lin Boyu's eyes lit up. A banquet! It was almost like Chinese New Year. For him, who rarely ate meat all year round, the temptation was too great.
Now, face is no longer important. As long as there is delicious food, everything else is nothing. Moreover, he believes that telling this news to his friends will make him look even better.
"Dad, when are we going to have the wedding banquet?"
"March 16th, there are still ten days left!"
This date was chosen by Mr. Lin because he liked the word "six" because it was auspicious.
Lin Anru was also helpless about this. If she wanted "six", the sixth day would be fine, but the sixteenth day was still a long time away.
Unfortunately, Mr. Lin was very stubborn and set his sights on this day.
In fact, he had secretly asked a fortune teller, and he was told that the sixteenth day was compatible with Lin Anru's horoscope, so he insisted on choosing this day.
