After ordering the blue bricks, the remaining wooden structure was left, so the two went to find Carpenter Huang.

Lin Ting was already very familiar with Carpenter Huang's yard. After chatting for a while, they decided on the sizes of the doors and windows.

The woodwork was contracted to carpenter Huang, and he also hired people to do the carving.

"Mrs. Lin, the thickness of the wood for the house's main door, including the carvings, the upper and lower thresholds, and the labor cost, is the most expensive, and it will cost at least ten taels.

Other courtyard doors, room doors, and windows can be made thinner, weighing about twenty taels.

The wooden part of the house, including the upper beams and tile beams, is thirty taels. Of course, we will also paint it."

Lin Ting quickly calculated in his mind: the main gate was ten taels, the doors and windows inside were twenty taels, and the other wooden structures were thirty taels, for a total of sixty taels.

In addition to buying wood, this money also includes labor costs, which Lin Ting can accept.

"Okay, but my requirement is still the same. It must be completed within two months!"

Lin Ting also gave Carpenter Huang a deposit of thirty taels first, and then paid him the balance after everything was done.

It took me an entire afternoon to finish all this, and I drank three pots of tea at Carpenter Huang's place.

"Master Wu, we've almost finished ordering everything. How many more skilled craftsmen do we need to build the house within two months?"

Wu Weibo had thought about this problem this morning.

"Mrs. Lin, you have 30 workers in the village. When you build a house, they can be used as laborers, such as delivering bricks, carrying water, carrying bricks, mixing mud, etc. If you hire another 20 bricklayers, it will be enough.

But, Madam Lin, the wages for a skilled worker should be at least fifty cents a day, otherwise no one would do it."

Wu Weibo didn't have the money to pay the workers, so he could go find someone, but the wages would have to be paid by Lin Ting, so he explained it to Lin Ting first.

"Technician, this price is reasonable!"

"Now that everything has been agreed, I'll go find someone now and we'll start work tomorrow."

After Wu Weibo left, Lin Ting also walked back to Wanhetang.

Along the way, she was thinking that she had to find a way to make more money as soon as possible, because the current way of making money was still too slow.

After returning to Wanhetang, Lin Ting first took a bath, and then went to the medicine cabinet to buy some mugwort leaves for soaking his feet.

"Mom, the water is scalding!"

Seeing that white smoke was still coming out of the boiling water that Lin Ting had just poured, Shen Wanyi poured a bucket of cold water into it for her.

"Mom, it won't be hot this way!"

Lin Ting pinched Shen Wanyi's little face, sat on a stool, took off his shoes, and soaked his feet in the water.

"My little treasure is so nice. When I come home and see you, I don't feel tired at all."

Shen Qingzhou sat in a wheelchair behind her and massaged her shoulders. She did the same to herself every time she saw Lin Ting tired.

"Will this be more comfortable?"

The clumsy technique can't press the acupoints at all.

"Your technique is wrong!"

Lin Ting grabbed his hand and taught him how to press it on his shoulder correctly, step by step.

"You can do this by pressing your thumb under your shoulder in a semicircular motion, using a little more pressure."

Shen Qingzhou looked at her hands and let Lin Ting grab and release them without any hesitation.

"Press it!"

Lin Ting was really tired, and he felt much more comfortable with Shen Qingzhou's massage. Besides, they both had children, so this was normal.

"it is good!"

Shen Qingzhou's heart beat faster. They were husband and wife, and he originally thought that Lin Ting would resist his touch, but he was overthinking it.

They are husband and wife, and Lin Ting has always recognized him as her husband.

"Lin Ting, when my leg is healed, you won't have to work so hard."

Seeing Lin Ting like this, he really wished he could leave immediately and help Lin Ting share the housework.

"When you get better, you'll have things you need to do, and I'll have things I need to do. Only when you become strong yourself can you be truly strong. I don't like to rely on others."

Shen Qingzhou paused in massaging. Lin Ting must have seen what happened to Lin Lin, so he didn't believe him.

“Who knows what the future holds!”

Shen Wanyi also wanted to take care of Lin Ting. Although she was small, she climbed onto the stool and brought a plate of pastries on the table to Lin Ting.

"Mom, have this cake. Auntie made it today. It's delicious."

Lin Ting looked at the pastries brought by Shen Wanyi. They looked like jade and were crystal clear. She had never seen such pastries in the pastry shop.

"This looks really good. Your aunt made it. I have to try it."

I took a piece and put it in my mouth. It seemed to have the smell of wild spinach, eggs, rice cake, and just the right sweetness.

The taste is rich, which is different from the cakes bought outside. Most cakes bought outside are too sticky and can only be eaten slowly.

But this one has a smoother texture, making you want to eat more after eating one piece.

"Your aunt can actually make cakes, I didn't even know that."

This pastry is the best pastry Lin Ting has ever eaten since he came to this world.

If she and Lin Lin opened a teahouse, Lin Lin had the skills to do so, so the restaurant would be overcrowded.

Lin Ting immediately had an idea in her mind. She would talk to Lin Lin about this matter tomorrow.

"Okay, stop waiting on me here. Go clean up and go to bed."

Lin Ting and Shen Qingzhou lived in Wanhe Hall, where everything was free, but Wan Weiran's only request was that Lin Ting extend his daily classes a little longer.

The next day!

Lin Ting heard that she carried Shen Wanyi to Shen Qingzhou's side. She was particularly bad at sleeping, and Lin Ting was afraid that she would fall off the bed.

As long as she moved slightly, Shen Qingzhou would wake up. When he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Ting pulling his quilt.

"Keep an eye on your daughter. I'm going downstairs to find my sister."

Shen Qingzhou held her hand and said, "It's not even dawn yet, and your sister hasn't come yet. Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Lin Ting looked outside. It was indeed dark, but it should be dawn soon, right?

After coming here, she goes to bed at sunset and goes to bed early every night, and wakes up early in the morning.

"Hasn't the cock crowed yet? What time is it now?"

Lin Ting was confused. There was not even anything to tell the time at night here.

"It's not even Mao time yet, you should rest for a while."

Lin Ting turned around and looked at everything in the room. How did Shen Qingzhou know that it was not yet the hour of Mao?

"How do you know the time?"

Shen Qingzhou closed his eyes. He had just woken up, and his voice was low and lazy, which sounded unusually pleasant.

"There's a dripping pot outside Wanhe Hall. I listen to the sound of water drops falling at different heights to tell the time."

Lin Ting didn't pay attention to this. Since it was still early, she decided to lie down for a while.

She had already made her own bed, and Shen Qingzhou's was still wide enough, so she simply pulled open Shen Qingzhou's quilt and lay down beside him. It was just for a while anyway.

Shen Qingzhou, who was originally confused, was instantly awakened by Lin Ting's action. His body seemed to stop and he didn't dare to move at all.

"you……"

Lin Ting: "I'll just take a nap. I'll finish tidying up over there."

With You Lin listening, it was Shen Qingzhou's turn to be unable to sleep.

He raised his head and slowly leaned it back on the pillow. Lin Ting's hair was at the tip of his nose. Her hair, which she had washed with Chinese medicine and soap nuts, smelled very good.

Shen Qingzhou thought that he would remember this taste for the rest of his life.
