Lin Xiaoyue smiled brightly.
Li Xiao’s eyes lit up and his fists finally loosened.
“Alright.” He replied in a deep voice.
Since he was already in this situation, why not kill him and turn the world upside down!
Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiao looked at each other. Both of them saw admiration in each other’s eyes.
“Let’s go home.” Li Xiao reached out and held Lin Xiaoyue’s hand.
“Yes.”
The two headed toward the Liu family’s courtyard.
After returning to the Liu family, Lin Xiaoyue looked at the watch in her interspatial ring and found that it was already past midnight.
The two of them sneaked back to the backyard and then returned to their own rooms.
Lin Xiaoyue, who was lying on the bed, felt warm in her heart, but she couldn’t fall asleep.
Tonight, she and Li Xiao shared their secrets with each other. Although they hadn’t slept together yet, she felt like they had been very intimate with each other.
In her previous life, she wanted to become stronger and fight alongside the captain. Unfortunately, she was not strong enough and could only be a logistics officer.
In this life, she could finally fight alongside the person she liked. This feeling was simply too good.
With a sweet and excited mood, Lin Xiaoyue did not know when she fell asleep.
The next day.
Early in the morning, Aunt Geng Tian came with ten women.
She said they came to make the spicy cabbage.
Lin Xiaoyue was delighted. After explaining the wages and work to everyone, she handed them over to Zhou Shi and let her assign work to everyone.
Zhou Shi had discussed this with Lin Xiaoyue before, so she knew how to what to do. She quickly divided the work for everyone.
Therefore, the Liu family courtyard quickly became busy.
Liu Shi and Zhou Shi were in charge of noting down and collecting the cabbages, while the other women who came to help had their own duties.
Lin Xiaoyue arranged for Zhao Kang and Zhao Qiang to ride the carriage and ox-cart to town to deliver the goods. After that, they went to the brick kiln to buy and transport bricks.
He took Zhao Shanshan to the kitchen to teach Chen Shi how to make spicy cabbage sauce.
At this moment, Zhao Fu and Zhao Dabao were also working hard. They were helping out in the front yard.
As for Ma Shi, she was making clothes in the backyard.
Jiang Dahe finally arrived after 9 o’clock.
Zhao Fu went to make tea while Lin Xiaoyue brought Zhao Shanshan along to discuss the construction work with Jiang Dahe.
Jiang Dahe sighed in his heart when he saw the Liu family’s situation.
It had only been a few days, yet the Liu family had hired so many workers and servants.
Moreover, these servants looked extraordinary.
“It’s almost winter. I’m afraid we need to hurry.” After hearing Lin Xiaoyue’s thoughts, Jiang Da asked, “extending a small courtyard and building a workshop isn’t as complicated as building a house. However, it is too big and I’m afraid we need a lot of manpower.”
“Uncle Jiang, please arrange as many people as possible for me. If it’s not enough, I’ll look for someone from the village.” Lin Xiaoyue smiled.
“Building a workshop doesn’t require as much effort as building a house. It’ll mainly be the work of building walls and laying floor tiles. With more people, the construction period can be shortened.”
Jiang Dahe nodded.
“We can start in three days. I should be able to bring 16 people over. We’ll get 12 more people in the village to help us and get it done for you before winter!”
Lin Xiaoyue’s eyes lit up.
“Great! I trust you!”
“Uncle Jiang, have some tea!”
Jiang Dahe nodded at Lin Xiaoyue and picked up his teacup.
A farmer’s family would usually serve their guests some sugared water. There weren’t many people who would serve tea.
Jiang Dahe finished the tea. Before Zhao Fu could add more tea for him, Jiang Dahe put the lid on.
“One cup is enough.” He said to Zhao Fu.
Then, he looked at Lin Xiaoyue. “That’s it for now. Let’s go and see the place first. After I’ve measured it. 1’11 help you calculate the amount of materials needed so that you can prepare in advance.”
“Alright.” Lin Xiaoyue replied with a smile.
Then, she brought Zhao Shanshan along and followed Jiang Dahe out.
“Connect this area to the backyard. Then, the land behind would be used to build a workshop.”
At the moment, the chilies in her field had all been collected.
She also had a manor, so this piece of land was no longer needed.
“Alright, I’ll start measuring now.” Jiang Dahe replied.
Then, he got busy.
The Liu family was really rich.
The workshop was not smaller than their residence..
