Chapter 166 Returning
It was dawn in the morning.
Lin Jiaojiao and Fu Qi took their things and got on the carriage. However, she slept late last night, and she kept revising the design of the second floor and was never satisfied with it. It was not until about one o'clock in the morning that she finally finished the overall design.
Fu Qi felt distressed to see her so tired, "Sister Jiaojiao, why don't we go back later and you can get some sleep."
She leaned directly on his shoulder and said, "It's okay, just take a nap in the car."
He held the hot water bottle in his hand and reached out to take her hand and place it on it. He also leaned his head against hers and suddenly felt a little melancholy.
Because his pregnancy has not been announced yet, Lin Jiaojiao has been staying in his room these days. Once it is announced, she will not be able to stay in his room anymore. Suddenly, she doesn’t want to have many children anymore…
Lin Dadan drove the carriage to Master Wang's door. Because he just wanted to ask if he was free, he did not wake up Lin Jiaojiao to go in person.
She knocked on the door. Master Wang had less work after the beginning of winter, and now it was almost New Year, there was even less work, so he gave his helpers and apprentices a holiday.
In such a cold day, there is nothing more comfortable than sleeping in with her husband in her arms. She really doesn't want to get up when she hears the knocking on the door outside the yard.
She stood up, put on her cotton-padded jacket and ran over. "Come here, come here. Who is it? Why aren't you sleeping so early in the morning..."
She opened the door impatiently, but when she saw who was at the door, her attitude changed 80 degrees.
"Ah! Manager Lin, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
"Our boss has a shop in Nanshan City that needs to be renovated. If you have time, you can take charge of it."
"I have time, I have time! It's getting cold and there's nothing to do."
Seeing that she agreed, Lin Dadan didn't waste any more words and directly took out the manuscript paper for her to take a quick look.
"The rectification will be completed before the New Year. You can leave after lunch. The host will make the specific arrangements at that time."
Master Wang flipped through the draft paper. Because the drawing was simple and clear, she quickly understood how many workers and materials were needed.
"Okay, I'll discuss this with Boss Lin at noon."
After agreeing on this, she took the manuscript and got on the carriage towards Fu's house in the city.
Fu Zhai.
Fu's mother was waiting anxiously, wondering if her son and daughter-in-law had understood her hint. She was worried because she hadn't played that day.
Fu Ling took Du Mingrui and his family to Zhouzhou last night. Du Mingrui has settled down there. After all, he has a shipping company and must sail frequently. He can only come back a few times a year, so he simply moved his whole family there.
Father Fu was sitting next to her, drinking tea leisurely. He became a little annoyed when he saw her pacing back and forth in front of him.
"Alright, alright, sit still. I'm dizzy from the shaking. Qi'er is so smart that she must have understood. It's just a day without playing. Look at you like this."
She listened to his words and walked over to sit down with a smile, "You sound like you don't want to fight, so don't fight when I bring it to you later."
"Okay, I won't fight. I'll just watch how you three fight."
He also wanted to play. After all, this thing was much more interesting than sitting at home all day to kill time. However, seeing her sly smile, he would not admit it.
"Master, the young master has returned home."
Fu's mother quickly straightened her clothes and sat down, looking at the entrance of the main hall with a serious face.
Lin Jiaojiao took a nap in the car and felt much better. She followed Fu Qi towards the main hall.
Tongfu was carrying two lunch boxes, and she was carrying a box of mahjong tiles. As soon as they arrived at the gate, they saw Fu Muben's serious expression and could no longer control her smile, so they stood up to greet her.
"Mom, Dad, we are back."
When Fu Qi saw his mother coming towards him, he happily went to meet her, but his mother simply ignored him and walked behind her.
"Oh, you guys are finally here. You came back this time and brought gifts."
Seeing her looking at the mahjong box in her hand so enthusiastically, and then taking a look at Fu Qi's hurt expression, Lin Jiaojiao hurried to smooth things over.
"Mom, this is a newly made set of mahjong that Xiaoqiu brought back especially for you. Xiaoqiu has been thinking about it for a long time, and was afraid that you would be bored all day, so I immediately gave it to you to kill time as soon as it was made."
Fu's mother carried the mahjong box and turned back with a smug smile on her face: "My son still loves his mother dearly. Look, he always thinks of his mother for all the good things."
Fu's father simply ignored her embarrassing appearance, walked up to her, pulled Fu Qi to his side and began to ask about her well-being.
Fu's mother had already started asking the servants to bring the mahjong table that had been prepared long ago and set it up. Lin Jiaojiao was helpless when she saw this scene, as she was afraid that the person had been poisoned.
Now, only Lin Jiaojiao, Fu's mother, Fu's father and Fu Qi, who only knows a little bit, know how to play mahjong in Fu's house.
After the four of them came on stage, Fu Qi was bullied so badly that he couldn't bear it. Tongfu was also anxious watching from behind.
However, Butler Fu seemed to understand what was going on after watching from behind Fu's mother. Everyone also saw that Fu Qi didn't want to fight, so Fu's mother directly let Butler Fu go on the field.
Fu Qi finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't really like playing this, so it was more fun to just sit next to Sister Jiaojiao and watch her play.
After Butler Fu came on the court, he understood the rules after playing three games. He started to play on equal terms with Fu's father. Fu's mother, on the other hand, looked very proud. Now she had the highest score, far ahead of the second place Lin Jiaojiao.
However, he was almost caught up by the housekeeper Fu later in the fight. Lin Jiaojiao took turns fighting with Fu Qiu, not caring about winning or losing, as long as they could keep each other company.
They played until lunch time and didn't leave the table until all the dishes were served. After lunch, everyone went to take a nap. Lin Jiaojiao accompanied Fu Qi back to the room and coaxed him to sleep. Then, seeing that it was almost time, she got up and walked towards the door of the house.
"Aunt Lin, are they here?"
Lin Dadan was waiting at the door in a carriage. When he saw her come out, he drove the carriage towards the door.
"I just arrived as well. I have already led people to the shop at the post station."
She got on the carriage, "Okay, let's go too."
When they arrived at the door of the post station shop, Lin Jiaojiao got off the car and saw that Master Wang and his men were already standing at the door waiting.
"Boss Lin, long time no see."
She wasn't stunned for long, because she saw her coming to drink at her wedding, but she also knew that it was just a courtesy.
"Haha, I have to trouble Master Wang again this time."
"Look at what you said. This is not a problem at all. This is Boss Lin taking care of our business. With Boss Lin, we can eat more meat this winter."
The carpenter next to Master Wang was also very happy. After all, these windows needed to be replaced, which would be a huge income for her.
"Yes, thank you very much, Boss Lin, for your appreciation."
Then the group walked to a wooden table brought by Master Wang in the house, and Lin Jiaojiao took out the drawings.
"The project is not very big. It mainly involves renovating the entire building and replacing all the wooden windows. Master carpenter, do you think this stained glass window can be made?"
The carpenter took the drawing, looked at it, and looked up in surprise.
"Your stained glass windows are very pretty."
