Rebirth: I Raise a Husband in Another World
Chapter 127 Entering the New House 5
B: "Lin Han's house is finished. I guess he bought those dried vegetables to prepare for the wedding banquet."
A suddenly realized: "Oh, so, I know Lin Han is going to hold a banquet, but I didn't know his house was built today, so I didn't react for a while.
But to be honest, Lin Han had hunted a black bear before and then caught a fox.
He has long been a favorite among the older generation in our village, and now things are looking good.
His house is finished, and it's big, made of bricks and tiles. He's gone from being a popular man to a wealthy son-in-law."
B: "Who says not? But I can't envy them. After all, they have achieved all this through their own hard work."
A nodded, agreeing with B's words: "That's right, Lin Han spent at least one hundred taels of silver on this house.
If I had so much money, I would never farm again in my life."
When B heard this, he expressed strong disgust: "Although one hundred taels of silver is a lot, it is not enough for you to spend for a lifetime.
Think about it yourself, your annual expenses are at least five or six taels, and sometimes if there are extra expenses, it may even reach ten taels.
One hundred taels of silver is enough for twenty years at most, how could it possibly be enough for you to spend your whole life? How can you be so unambitious? "
After hearing this, Person A scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Oh, actually, I was just talking nonsense. You know, I'm not good at math."
B agreed: "That's about right. As a person, you should be down-to-earth and spend the money you earn with your own ability with confidence, right?"
A always thinks B is smarter than him, so most of the time he listens to what B says, and this time is no exception.
A: “Well, you’re right.”
Person B said unhappily, "It's good that you know."
B thought: My younger brother always wants to get something for nothing. How can he succeed without me keeping an eye on him?
……
Time passed quickly. In the next few days, Lin Han went to the town almost every day and brought back some vegetables every time.
In this way, time quickly came to the night of May 19th, or to be more precise, the early morning of May 20th.
Because the banquet will be held on the afternoon of May 20th, the dishes and meat needed for the banquet must be prepared the day before, otherwise it will be too late to prepare them.
The day before yesterday, Lin Han moved back the bed that Uncle Wang had made and placed it in the bedroom where he would live in the new house.
Lin Han and Aunt Zhang prepared food together. Lin Han was strong, so he was responsible for chopping pork and chicken.
Aunt Zhang and her colleagues are responsible for picking rice, washing vegetables, washing ginger, washing dishes, sorting garlic, etc.
By the time they had prepared all these and Lin Han had chopped the meat, it was already past two in the morning.
Lin Han said to Aunt Zhang and the others, "Grandma Li, Aunt Zhang, Uncle Qin, we've finished our work for today. Thank you for your hard work. Go back to sleep and come back to cook tomorrow."
In fact, Aunt Zhang and the others were also very sleepy. There was no electricity in ancient times, so they could only light kerosene lamps or candles.
All of these things cost money, so the people in Xinghua Village usually go to bed shortly after it gets completely dark.
Of course, special days are excluded, such as when people are helping to cook for a banquet.
They will be busy until very late the day before the wedding banquet, but such days are rare and they usually go to bed early.
Grandma Li stood up and stretched: "Oh, it's finally over.
I just can’t do that at my age. If I sit for any length of time, my arms and legs will feel uncomfortable.”
Lin Han said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work."
Aunt Zhang also stood up and moved around: "Okay, Lin Han, I'm tired too, so I'll go back first. If there's anything left unfinished, you can fix it yourself."
Lin Han: "Okay, don't worry, Auntie, I can handle the rest of the work."
Qin Qin: "Then I'll go back too."
Lin Han stuffed a kerosene lamp into each of their hands and asked them to light the way back.
Lin Han: "It's dark and the roads are slippery. Watch your step when you go back. Take these kerosene lamps and use them as a light for your journey back."
Kerosene is expensive, but kerosene lamps are not expensive, especially in Lin Han's eyes, kerosene lamps are simply cheap.
So when he learned about the custom of holding banquets in Xinghua Village, he went to the town and bought a few kerosene lamps, which came in handy tonight.
Although this kerosene lamp was a cheap item in Lin Han's eyes, it was not in the eyes of Grandma Li and the others.
If I accidentally break it, I would be reluctant to compensate them, but I would feel bad if I didn't.
Besides, although it is early morning, there is a moon outside and the moonlight can still illuminate the road, it’s just not very bright.
So Grandma Li and the others refused: "No need, Lin Han, it's such a short distance, and the moon is still bright outside, we can just walk back by ourselves."
Lin Han frowned: "How can this be possible? I already feel bad for keeping you all here until now.
If anyone among you falls because you can't see the road clearly, I don't know what I would think, so just accept it, just to put my mind at ease.
Do you think I want to give it to you, so you don’t accept it?
Don't worry, I don't think so. If you are really worried, just bring it back when you come to cook tomorrow."
Lin Han had said so much, and if they didn't appreciate it, it would be ungrateful. Grandma Li and the others had no choice but to accept it.
Grandma Li forced a smile and said, "Okay, let's just consider it as you lending them to us tonight. We will bring them back tomorrow."
Each of them held a kerosene lamp and walked carefully towards their home.
Seeing them all leave, Lin Han felt a sense of fatigue and thought that everything was almost ready.
Even if there are still some leaks, there is still time to prepare tomorrow, so Lin Han went to bed.
Because Uncle Wang had said before that all the work of starting the fire had to be done before daybreak.
So in order to prevent himself from oversleeping, Lin Han specially made a wake-up device.
Lin Han didn't know how long he had slept. He woke up when he felt a sudden chill on his face.
This is the wake-up device he made for himself, a cup with a handle and a rope tied to the handle.
The other end of the rope was connected to a thick and long incense stick, but now the incense stick had burned out, so the cup of water was splashed on his face to wake him up.
Lin Han got up, washed up briefly, and started to move into the new house.
Lin Han walked into the new house holding a torch and carrying the food he had prepared last night.
After entering, he put the food in the kitchen, put the torch he brought into the stove, and added firewood.
Then Lin Han poured water into the pot and did not stop until the pot was full. All Lin Han had to do was boil the water.
