The Crown Princess is busy fishing

While waiting, Lin Yuge and Lin Qingzhou wandered around Datao Village again.

I bought a lot of pottery, both big and small, for the workshop and for my home.

They had someone help them board the ship.

At this point, all the terracotta tiles were loaded onto the ship.

The group then bid farewell to Uncle Zhao and the villagers of Datao Village and began their journey home.

Even after the boat had sailed quite a distance, Lin Yuge was still gazing thoughtfully in the direction of Datao Village.

Lin Qingzhou nudged her and asked curiously, "Little sister, what are you thinking about?"

“I’m thinking that maybe we can cooperate with the workshops in Datao Village in the future.”

"Their workshop is so big, and it has absolutely nothing to do with our seafood workshop. What kind of cooperation could they possibly have?" Lin Qingzhou frowned slightly and said with some doubt.

"Brother, you don't understand. I'll go back and talk to Mother!" After saying that, he ignored Lin Qingzhou.

The sampan then meandered along the river through the mountains.

We finally returned to Longtang Village.

The group set off early in the morning, but it was already afternoon.

Remove the required tiles from both sides and place them in their respective locations.

The roof rafters have all been laid, and the roof tiles will be put on tomorrow.

After dinner, Lin Yuge mentioned what she had seen and heard in Tao Village during the day.

He suggested to Xie Jingwan, "Mother, I think the pottery there is quite nice."

"The workshop will need a lot of pottery jars in the future, so perhaps we can cooperate with them."

Xie Jingwan nodded, "Okay, Mother will go over there to take a look, and if it's suitable, we'll order a batch from there."

After many days of hard work by everyone, the Lin family's new house was finally completed on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The stone walls and terracotta tiles exude a rustic and dignified aura under the warm winter sun.

Lin Yuge stood in front of the two-story building, looking at the surrounding environment, constantly making plans in her mind.

At this moment, Xie Jingwan and Lin Qingzhou walked over.

"Little sister, what are you looking at?"

“Mother, elder brother, look how bare this area in front of the house is. Shouldn’t we plant something after spring comes?”

Xie Jingwan nodded slightly, her gaze also falling on that open space.

"The fisherman's song is right. If some flowers, grass and trees were planted in front of the house, it would add a lot of life to the house."

"Daughter, have you decided what to plant?"

Before Lin Yuge could answer.

Lin Qingzhou spoke first: "We can plant some fruit trees. Let me think about what fruits we've eaten recently?"

"Bananas, mangoes, and oh right, the coconuts I ate when I first arrived."

He was still savoring the memory as he spoke.

Xie Jingwan slapped him on the head.

"All you do is eat, you don't even consider whether these plants are suitable to be grown here."

Lin Yuge couldn't help but laugh.

“Mother, my eldest brother just wanted to make the yard more vibrant. Actually, I think planting coconut trees is a good idea.”

"The wind is strong by the sea, and coconut trees are very resistant to the wind. Moreover, their large leaves are also very charming."

"However, we won't plant the other two types, as they are too troublesome to maintain."

“If you want to eat it, you can buy it from another store. There are plenty of them growing in the village.”

Lin Qingzhou pouted helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you. Then we'll only plant coconut trees."

"What else should we plant? Little sister, think about it some more."

Lin Yuge tilted her head and pondered for a while.

"We also need to plant some mosquito-repelling plants; you've probably all experienced the mosquitoes here."

The two nodded in deep agreement.

Lin Yuge continued planning, "Mother, when Father comes back, we can have him build an arched doorway here."

"You can plant some climbing vines and trees on both sides, such as roses and wisteria."

"Once these flowering trees grow tall and climb all over the doorway, they will definitely become the most unique scenery in our yard."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jingwan's eyes lit up, and a look of anticipation appeared on her face.

"That's a great idea, daughter."

"At that time, we will build a fence with bamboo on both sides and pave a path with pebbles in the middle."

"Place a few more stone tables and benches in the corner. This will make the courtyard even more elegant."

Lin Qingzhou watched as the two became more and more excited as they talked.

She couldn't help but mutter, "Mother, why are you starting to have girlish thoughts like my little sister?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Jingwan glared at him.

"You brat, what do you know? This yard has become so beautiful, we're much more comfortable living here now."

"Besides, life should have some pursuit and some fun."

Lin Yuge chimed in with a smile, "That's right, big brother, Mother is still young. Who says she can't have a girlish heart?"

Xie Jingwan blushed at what she said.

He quickly laughed and scolded, "Alright, you two, stop teasing your mother. Qingzhou, go find some pebbles and bamboo."

"Honey, let's go to Dawankou to buy some things. We still have a lot to buy for the house. Oh, and we also need to get some furniture!"

After saying that, he grabbed his daughter and prepared to leave.

Lin Qingzhou protested from behind, "No, Mother, why didn't you take me with you? I could have helped too."

Xie Jingwan glanced back at him and cruelly refused, "What help can you give us women when we buy things?"

"You don't know how to choose things, and you don't know how to bargain. You might as well stay home and work!"

Lin Yuge told her elder brother that she was powerless to help, and the mother and daughter gradually drifted apart.

Lin Qingzhou was left standing there, staring blankly.

She said weakly, "I can help you carry your things."

Seeing that the two ignored him.

He had no choice but to go to his good brother for help, to collect stones and cut bamboo.

The mother and daughter arrived at Dawankou, and Xie Jingwan pulled Lin Yuge straight to the woodworking shop.

Because they were in a hurry to move in, they planned to buy ready-made furniture.

Stepping into the woodworking shop, one is greeted by a dazzling array of furniture.

Exquisitely carved beds, simple and elegant tables and chairs, sturdy and durable cabinets—it has everything.

Xie Jingwan and Lin Yuge strolled slowly through the store, carefully examining each piece of furniture.

Suddenly, Lin Yuge stopped and stared intently at a dressing table.

The dressing table was exquisitely crafted with delicate carvings, exuding a classic charm.

Lin Yuge was about to step forward for a closer look.

A sharp voice suddenly rang out from behind.

"Hmph, what a poor bunch! What are you looking at? Can you even afford it?"

The mother and daughter looked over upon hearing the sound.

A young girl, dressed in fine clothes and with an arrogant face, walked over surrounded by her maids, her face full of disdain.

Lin Yuge glanced at the person who had suddenly appeared, somewhat puzzled.

He replied coldly, "What's it to you?"

Upon hearing this, the girl's eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"Hey, you poor girl, you've got quite a temper."

"The good stuff in this woodworking shop is not something you poor folks can even dream of."

Lin Yuge was not to be outdone.

He retorted, "Whether I can afford it or not is none of your business. Do you live by the sea?"

The girl was somewhat bewildered by Lin Yuge's sudden question.

It took him a moment to realize, "What do you mean?"

Lin Yuge's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile.

"Mind your own business. What else could you be but someone who lives by the sea?"

The girl's face flushed red with anger. "How dare you speak to me like that? Do you know who I am?"

Lin Yuge shrugged nonchalantly.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know. No matter how powerful you are, you can't just insult others."

Xie Jingwan gently tugged at Lin Yuge's sleeve, signaling her to stop talking.
