“I will.” When Zhou Ying said this, she looked at the basin of clothes in her hand and asked, “Sister Tian, did you just wash your clothes?”

“Yes, there are two children at home. Their clothes are getting dirty very quickly.” As she walked in, she asked, “Do you want to come in for a seat?”

“Maybe another day. We’ve been going up the mountain for a few days, so I have to clean up the house and wash my clothes.”

“Sure, come over when you’re free.” After she finished speaking, Sister Tian walked straight home.

Zhou Ying also returned home. First, she tidied up the house inside and out. Finally, she threw the clothes she had changed out into the washing machine in her interspace.

However, she didn’t dry it inside her interspace this time. Instead, after washing it, she wrung it with her hands and hung it on the rope outside her house.

As soon as the clothes were hung up, the carpenter, Tian Jiaxing, came in with a cart of furniture. Zhou Ying immediately greeted him, “Uncle Jiaxing, you have done it this quickly?”

“I knew you were in a hurry, so I made a bedside table and a stool as quickly as possible.

“However, you will have to wait a few more days for the dining table, chairs, and desk.” After Tian Jiaxing finished speaking, he pushed the cart to the door and began to unload it.

Zhou Ying immediately came forward to unload the things and asked, “How many more days will it take?”

“No matter what, it’ll take about ten days.”

“I understand. Then shall I pay you the wages in one go after that?”

“No problem. I’ll leave you to your work then.” After Tian Jiaxing finished speaking, he pulled onto his cart and left the house in a hurry.

Zhou Ying took all the furniture into the house and wiped it clean.

After that, she transformed the original torn quilt into a cotton curtain for the living room.

When she was done, it was almost noon. She took a pound of prawns from her interspace and made a pot of fried prawns. Then, she made a serving of cabbage in vinegar sauce and heated ten beef buns.

When she was almost done, Gu Chengrui pushed his cart in, followed by Tian Jiawang.

Zhou Ying was stunned for a moment. She immediately put the pot of fried shrimp into her interspace.

Of course, it wasn’t that she didn’t want to let him eat it, but she had never seen anyone in town sell such large prawns before. It would be hard to explain.

“Hubby, Mr. Tian, you’re back.”

After greeting them, she looked at the cart full of things and asked, “Why did you buy so many?”

“Not much. Besides what you asked me to buy, I just bought some commonly used herbs.” After Gu Chengrui said this, he handed one of the jars to her and said, “I bought a few fish on my way back. Cook two of them as you see fit. I want to have a drink or two with Brother Tian later.”

“No problem. Then you guys go in, drink some water, and rest for a while. The food will be ready soon.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she welcomed Tian Jiawang and carried the water tub into the house.

Gu Chengrui immediately brought in the other tubs and the beans and welcomed Tian Jiawang into their living room.

Zhou Ying looked at the fish and found that there was a bass, so she steamed one.

Then, she picked up a giant carp and braised it.

After that, she felt it was a little shabby with only three dishes, so she fried a plate of peanuts and made a dumpling soup.

After it was done, she brought the food to the living room.

However, she didn’t stay. Instead, she cleaned up and went back to the kitchen. She ate a serving of prawns with a bottle of Coke.

In the living room, Gu Chengrui invited Tian Jiawang to eat and drink while thanking him for his help.

When the two were almost full, Gu Chenrui said, “I’ll have to ask Brother Tian for help tomorrow with building the shed.”
