Chapter 21 The House



"Third brother, will the house repairman come tomorrow?"

"Yes, I have already made an appointment with Uncle Li!"

After Lin Li finished washing her feet, she watched as Lin Laosan poured out the foot-washing water and handed him milk and spiritual spring water. "Alright, I'll go back to my room first. You should get some rest too."

"Okay, Mom!" Lin Laosan took the milk and spring water, escorted Lin Li back to her room, closed the door, and then rushed back to his own bedroom.

The mother and son then began to busy themselves in their respective rooms.

Upon returning to her spatial dimension, Lin Li's first action was to open the trading system and redeem the "Design Book: The Next Genius is You!"

He placed the tables and chairs he had bought from the market on the floor of the space, took out paper and pen, and began to seriously draw design drawings.

The sky in the space was always bright, and the light was definitely stronger than that of the kerosene lamp.

After sketching and drawing for nearly an hour, Lin Li held the newly completed design draft, looking at it from left to right. She was extremely satisfied, but she didn't know if Uncle Li could actually make it.

After finalizing the design, they immediately began making various sauces.

Doubanjiang (fermented broad bean paste), chili sauce, black pepper powder, curry powder...

Lin Li did almost everything she could do and everything that was in the skill book.

When she was making the last jar of sauce, she was so tired that she could barely keep her eyes open. As soon as she finished making the sauce, she rushed back to her bedroom, collapsed onto the bed, and fell asleep instantly.

After returning to his bedroom, Lin Laosan took out a tape recorder, put the English tape he had borrowed from Section Chief Wang a few days earlier into the recorder, and started playing it.

I followed the teacher with perfect pronunciation, repeating it over and over again until late at night.

...

So the next day, both mother and son woke up late!

When Lin Li opened her eyes, the sun outside the window was almost at its highest point, and the clock on the table showed that it was almost 10:00 AM.

After finishing her internal martial arts training, she went to the courtyard to practice her external martial arts. Lin Laosan, who was brushing his teeth and watching her practice, was so shocked that he didn't even notice the foam dripping from his mouth.

When did Mom become so amazing?

As Lin Li quickened her pace, a current of air formed around her, which then accelerated, carrying more and more leaves and petals. Finally, after she finished, the air returned to calm.

After finishing work, Lin Li looked at Lin Laosan's dazed expression and couldn't help but burst into laughter. "What's wrong? Are you scared out of your wits? Hurry up and brush your teeth, stop standing there. When is your Uncle Li coming?"

Lin Laosan only came to his senses after hearing Lin Li's voice. He couldn't help but look again at the large rock that had been smashed to pieces by the leaves surrounding her, and his whole body involuntarily trembled.

Terrifying!!!

After spitting out the foam from her mouth and washing her face with a towel, she put on a smile, ran to Lin Li's side, and grinned, "Mom, you're so amazing now?"

"That's right, so you don't need to worry about me anymore!"

"I'm not worried anymore. Can I start practicing now?"

Lin Li thought for a moment and realized, "That's right, the third brother can practice with me!"

Strengthen your body and live a long and healthy life!

"I think it should be okay. I'll teach you after breakfast!"

"Alright!"

Lin Li quickly cooked two bowls of spicy noodles for herself and Lin Laosan. Seeing Lin Laosan constantly drinking water because of the spiciness, she laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

"Is it tasty?"

Lin Laosan, whose lips were slightly swollen from the spiciness, nodded vigorously. "It's delicious. Although it's spicy, it's really delicious. The spicier it is, the more I want to eat."

Seeing that Lin Laosan tolerated the chili peppers well, Lin Li felt that she could start preparing her spicy blood curd and hot pot at home!

Lin Laosan: ...

Isn't this coming a bit too fast? He's afraid his 'chrysanthemum' can't handle it!

The mother and son had just finished tidying up the dishes when they heard a knock on the door.

"It must be Uncle Li!"

Lin Laosan walked quickly to the gate, opened it, and saw Uncle Li standing outside.

"Did I disturb you?"

"No, we're waiting for you, Uncle Li, please come in."

Lin Li watched as the middle-aged man wearing a blue-gray cloth shirt, wide blue trousers, and rubber boots followed Lin Laosan into the room.

He immediately put on a smile and said, "Uncle, please sit down, please sit down!"

"Eh~~~"

Uncle Li sat stiffly on the stool that Lin Laosan brought over, his hands on his knees, a smile on his face, but his eyes revealed nervousness!

"Uncle, I'd like to renovate this house. Has your third brother told you about it?"

Uncle Li glanced at Lin Laosan and nodded.

Lin Li looked at the introverted Uncle Li and smiled. "I drew a design myself. Take a look. If there's anything you don't understand or can't do, you can tell me, and we can discuss it together, okay?"

After saying that, he handed the design he had drawn the night before to Uncle Li.

When Uncle Lin took the design drawings, he was shocked. He had never seen such detailed design drawings in his entire life.

Every dimension, material, and specification was clearly written down, making it even clearer than the drawings designed by the engineers at the town's design institute that he had seen last time!

Uncle Li, who was carefully examining the blueprints, was no longer as reserved as before. His calloused hands gently touched the design drawings.

“I should be able to do all of them, but some materials will be more expensive, like these tiles…” Uncle Li raised his wrinkled face and smiled, “Any requirements? Different types, specifications, and qualities will have different prices.”

Lin Li thought for a while. She didn't intend to do a very good job this time. After all, she would definitely do it again in twenty years when better designs and materials come out.

She really adored those top-of-the-line villas in the countryside from her previous life!

"It's just a regular type. Tiles are mainly installed in toilets and shower rooms, primarily for slip prevention. You know, I'm getting old, and I'm afraid of slipping..."

Lin Li already has a psychological trauma from seeing the original owner of the body, Old Lady Lin, slip and fall in the bathroom!

Upon hearing Lin Li's words, Lin Laosan immediately recalled what his mother had told him: in her previous life, she slipped and fell in the bathroom, and no one came to help her; she starved to death.

"Uncle Li, the primary goal of our house renovation is to prevent slipping, because my mother is getting old and I'm afraid she'll slip and fall!"

Uncle Li nodded in understanding after hearing what the mother and son said.

Most of the toilets in the village are slippery, especially on rainy days. He even slipped and fell in his own house last time.

"I need to go back and calculate the approximate cost first..." Uncle Li said, looking at the blueprints, "before I can give a quote!"

After hearing this, Lin Li exchanged a glance with Lin Laosan. Uncle Li was indeed reliable and honest in both his personal conduct and work.

"Then I'll trouble you. Just tell Lao San after you've settled the accounts!"

Uncle Li watched as Lin Laosan ran over to help Lin Li up, and his eyes revealed appreciation.

Lin Laosan is a good-hearted boy; Aunt Lin will have someone to rely on in the future!

If Lin Li knew about his idea, she would definitely scoff at it.

In this world, the only person you can truly rely on is yourself!
