The hunter's husband is so sweet

Chapter 164 Building a Cellar

They did what they said. The next morning, Zhang Hui told the manager in charge of the workers to go to Fu's house to dig an ice cellar in the afternoon. They would be paid for today's wages, and the money for the ice cellar would be paid separately. He also said that he needed another batch of bricks, so that he could build an ice cellar here.

The wages remained the same, and he could make some extra money, so the manager was of course happy. He took his people to Fu Jingyi's house just after lunch. Qi Xuan had been waiting in the yard early, and when he saw that the manager was the same as before, he smiled friendlyly.

Fu Jingyi led his men to the location where they were going to dig the ice cellar, and they began to get busy. Ice cellars are usually built underground, but they are not dug deep. Fu Jingyi asked the workers to dig about two meters and then stopped. "Almost done." Fu Jingyi looked at the depth and said. After that, he didn't care about it anymore and left it to the workers to do it.

Before leaving last night, Mr. Qiao told them, "I will stay here for a few more days. Don't worry about the ice. I will send someone to deliver it in a few days."

Qi Xuan was very satisfied with the ice cellar that was built in just one afternoon. He had already thought about how to put it. When he returned to the yard and saw Fu Jingyi, Qi Xuan took the initiative to hug him, "Brother Yi, thank you. I like that ice cellar very much."

Fu Jingyi also hugged Qi Xuan back, "All your problems are big things to me, I will help you solve them."

Lin Chen secretly opened a crack in the door and watched his brother and brother-in-law showing their affection, wondering how his brother Zheng would help him get what he wanted.

The next morning, Qi Yue came to check the ice cellar. The ice had not been delivered yet and it was still empty. Qi Xuan pulled Qi Yue aside and told him his thoughts, "Is the ice really not going to melt?" Qi Yue asked.

Qi Xuan shook his head, "I don't know either, so I wanted to find a carpenter to build a frame, but I was afraid that the ice would melt, so I gave up."

"It won't melt." Fu Jingyi said behind them, "The reason it's built underground is because it's cool and dry, and there's straw and reed mats on the ice, and there are special pipes to prevent the ice cellar from being soaked by water after the ice melts."

Qi Xuan and Qi Yue listened to Fu Jingyi's words with their eyes wide open. "Why are there so many things to pay attention to?" Qi Yue said blankly. Qi Xuan also nodded, "Have the pipes and other things been repaired? They won't be flooded after the ice melts, right?"

Fu Jingyi looked at them with a smile, "No, don't worry. I'm digging a simple cellar next to it to store some vegetables during the winter."

Qi Xuan then realized that it was already late autumn and winter was coming. He disliked winter the most because he was afraid of the cold. In the past, there was heating in winter, but now...

Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work, I'll just put on two more clothes and stay at home.

On the other side, Qi Zheng ran to the town early in the morning and found an embroidery workshop, but when he saw that it was full of embroiderers, he became hesitant.

An elderly embroiderer in the embroidery workshop saw Qi Zheng lingering outside the door for a long time, so she took the initiative to go out and ask him, "What can I do for you?"

"Oh, that's right." Qi Zheng recounted what Lin Chen had told him before, and then said, "I prepared it for my future husband. He likes to do some embroidery on weekdays, so I want to prepare a set for him in the new house."

When the older embroiderer heard that this man was preparing for his future husband, her smile deepened. He was a good man who loved his husband. She told Qi Zheng in detail what he needed and even said that if he needed it, their embroidery workshop could sell him a set.

"That's great." Qi Zheng said, "You know I really know nothing about this. If you can give me a set, the price is negotiable." Another young embroiderer came out and saw Qi Zheng, and smiled, "Aunt Xiu, who is this?"

Aunt Xiu, the older embroiderer, roughly explained her purpose, which made the young embroiderer envious. "Oh, why can't I meet such a good man who can buy a set of tools for my husband?" After saying that, she turned back, still muttering, "No, I have to tell my sisters about it. I can't be the only one envious."

Qi Zheng felt a little embarrassed by what she said. He bowed to Aunt Xiu and said, "When can you get it ready? Send a car to take it away. Tell me the price."

Aunt Xiu thought for a moment and said, "I'm not bragging, our embroidery workshop uses the latest styles. If you buy this set, I won't charge you more, just one hundred taels."

Qi Zheng nodded, then took out a hundred taels of silver and handed it directly to Aunt Xiu. "Aren't you afraid that I will cheat you?" Aunt Xiu was a little surprised when she took the hundred taels of silver. She didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, which made her a little embarrassed. After all, she did make some money from the hundred taels.

"Any other questions?" Qi Zheng asked. Aunt Xiu came back to her senses and said, "No, no, we have extra ones now, you can come and take them anytime."

It happened that Zhang Hui strolled here, and when he saw Qi Zheng, he asked, "Why are you here?" Qi Zheng smiled when he saw Zhang Hui, "That's great, help me as a laborer."

Facing his brother-in-law, Zhang Hui didn't dare to be angry or say anything. He obediently asked someone from the escort agency to drive over and helped Qi Zheng put the embroidery frame and other tools into the car.

Zhang Hui also went back with him. When he arrived at Aunt Wang's house, he wanted to complain to Qi Yue, saying that his brother-in-law forced him to do hard labor, which made Aunt Wang laugh at him. Qi Zheng didn't care about him being pitiful and put all the things in Lin Chen's new house.

He specially prepared an empty room and put the embroidery frame under the window, where the light is good and the air is ventilated. The fabric is placed on the other side to prevent it from fading in the sun, and the same goes for the embroidery thread. Then he needs to build a cabinet. He also wants to put a rocking chair here, so that if Xiaochen is tired of embroidering, she can lie on the rocking chair and rest for a while.

After he made the plan and calculated the money he had, he went directly to the old carpenter in the village. He decided to pick it up in three days, and then he relaxed. He had wanted to give Lin Chen a surprise, but he didn't expect that Qi Yue would bring Lin Chen here as soon as he got home, and took him directly to see what Qi Zheng had prepared.

Qi Zheng had no choice but to accept that his brother had ruined his surprise. After sending Qi Yue away, he told Lin Chen about his plans, "Tell me if you think there's anything missing, and I'll help you complete it." Qi Zheng's voice was very gentle, and Lin Chen was so moved that his eyes were red.

She tried hard to hold back her tears, "I gave you the money so that you could keep it for yourself, why did you spend it all on me?"

"I don't need anything, I just want you to be happy." Qi Zheng pulled Lin Chen's hand and shook it. Lin Chen pulled his hand away, walked to the side and took out a new piece of clothing from the cloth bag. He spent two nights working on this, and he didn't dare to tell Qi Xuan that he stayed up late, for fear that his brother would scold him.

"Brother Zheng, try it on." Lin Chen held the new clothes and looked at Qi Zheng. "Okay." Qi Zheng stepped back a few steps and took off his coat. Lin Chen helped him put on the new clothes. He walked around Qi Zheng and said, "It looks good and fits me well." For a moment, he didn't know whether to praise his own skills or Qi Zheng's good figure.
