That night, Su Shuilin and the two still returned to Fanluo City and spent the night in an inn that was close to the large shop.
Early the next morning, Lin Siyao picked two plasterers and carpenters in the workshop, and went back to the house where he would settle down for renovations, leaving two wolf cubs to accompany Su Shuilin to purchase all kinds of cloth and needles.
Su Shuilin took two wolf cubs and went through several fabric shops. It was not until three poles in the sun that he chose a few of his favorite colors. Cotton, she always likes plain floral ones. I picked five pieces of damask cotton with a pink-purple background, light white, light yellow, and crimson, and planned to sew curtains, door curtains, tablecloths, and various sizes of handkerchiefs.
Thinking of getting married, Su Shuilin's eyes flashed shyly, and the corners of his lips were slightly bent, and he picked up a pair of cyan satin and a cloud-colored silk brocade, and planned to sew two new sets of clothes for Lin Siyao. He also chose a pair of emerald lotus root yarn and crimson satin brocade for himself. Afterwards, he picked out two pairs of white muslin cloths, and prepared to make several sets of undershirts and jackets for the two of them. In the end, while the little girl in the cloth shop was smiling, Su Shui blushed and chose a large red satin for the two of them to make wedding gowns and embroidery handkerchiefs. After paying the bill in a hurry, let Xiao Er deliver all the fabrics to the Yuelai Inn, where he is now.
After the cloths were delivered on time, Su Shuilin selected the five pieces of broken cotton cloth and prepared to sew the door curtains, curtains, tablecloths, and drapes necessary for the new home first. Fortunately, before I came back yesterday, I thought of measuring the size of the doors and windows, otherwise, I really wouldn't be able to do it.
In his mind, he searched for the curtains and door curtains made of various fabrics used by the Su family in the past. Or, thanks to embroidery, she will soon be able to master other tasks like sewing and weaving.
Although these are comparable to rough needlework, it was absolutely impossible for her to do it before. Her hands, in the words of her father Su Fangting, were made for Su Embroidery.
Thinking of this, Su Shuilin fell into a trance again. The Su family... the family of Su Xiu... my mother... my elder brother... , ah... It turns out that in the bottom of my heart, except for my mother and elder brother, the shadow of the old man and father is almost forgotten. If they knew, they would be sad. After all, their daughter, whom they had painstakingly cultivated for decades on the road of Su Embroidery, almost forgot them in less than half a year.
Su Shuilin shook his head lightly, sighed slightly, brushed off all kinds of feelings in his heart, and began to do his work.
…
"Phew!" Su Shuilin took the last stitch, got up and swung his slightly stiff wrist. I haven't done embroidery for a long time, and my gestures are a little rusty.

Looking down at the pile of finished curtains and towels on the table, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and a happy smile floated into his eyes.
They were spread out, flattened, and folded one by one, and finally the burden was collected, ready to be brought for installation when the house was renovated.
At this time, Lin Siyao also returned from Fanhua Town.
Seeing that Su Shuilin was busy cleaning up the rags on the desk, he couldn't help frowning.
"Xiao Er said you didn't order anything to eat all day?" Lin Siyao took the bamboo basket with the rags in her hand, waved his sleeves gently, and all the rags on the case flew into the bamboo basket.
"Huh? Is it too late?" Su Shuilin heard what Lin Siyao said, and then got up and went to the window, looking outside, it was indeed evening, the sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow was setting.
Seeing this, Lin Siyao glanced at the bundle that she had packed but had not yet knotted, and looked at the warm purple floral cotton cloth exposed inside. She knew: she must have been busy from the morning to the present. .
Just as he was about to take her to his room for dinner, he saw the various colored cloths neatly stacked on the trunk. Especially the extremely dazzling red satin, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.
"What's the matter?" After cleaning up the room and washing his hands, he returned to Su Shuilin beside Lin Siyao. Seeing his awkward expression, he was puzzled.
(adsbygoogle=window.adsbygoogle||[]).push({});
"Cough..." Lin Siyao clenched his fist and put it under his nose, using a light cough to cover up his expression that was slightly ecstatic because he couldn't help it. She pretended to be calm and pulled Su Shuilin's wrist, "Let's go to dinner first. After eating, I'll tell you about the house." She knew that she was very shy, and if she asked about the wedding gown, she would blush again. for a long time. In private, he was happy to see her shy appearance, but he was afraid that she would annoy him because of it. Cough... let's just pretend he didn't know. Waiting for her to give herself a big surprise.
…
Although the old house looks dilapidated, after on-site inspection by plasterers and carpenters, if it is strengthened, it will be no problem to live for a few more years.
Of course, from Lin Siyao's point of view, such a house was completely defeated by his Xuanfeng Palm, and it fell down with the palm of his hand. Of course, he wouldn't tell Su Shuilin such words, for fear that she would be scared away by himself. It's hard to be happy with each other, and he naturally doesn't want any extraneous incidents.
Su Shuilin heard Lin Siyao say that the work of the plasterer only takes three days. As for woodworking, it depends on whether he still needs to build the furniture. If the furniture is bought ready-made from the furniture store, then the carpenter can do it in a day, but it is just a few brittle beams and pillars covered with wood veneer on the outside.
"Tomorrow, we will go to the furniture store to see the price of ready-made furniture. If it is suitable, then buy it." Su Shuilin calculated the remaining money.
Fifty taels of silver, in addition to the 15 taels paid for the house, 32,050 coppers to buy the cloth, the three-day wages of the plasterer, and the materials for reinforcement and painting add up to more than one tael.
According to the woodworker's estimate, if he made all the furniture by himself, including the wood and labor, it would cost about sixty taels, and it was only a few personal items necessary for food and lodging, such as a big bed, a wardrobe, a table and chairs, a cupboard, a chest of drawers Wait. As for the small wooden objects such as bathtubs, washbasins, and vegetable basins, they have not been counted at all. And, in terms of time, it takes at least a month.
Now it is the end of summer, and autumn is about to begin. When all the furniture is finished, the house is cleaned up, and when you actually move in, it must be autumn. Not to mention that you need money to stay in an inn, you need to prepare well for the winter. For example, when the weather turns cold, the two people must have the necessary padded quilts, such as all kinds of winter food that need to be prepared before the road is blocked by heavy snow.
Su Shuilin thought of the two acres of fertile land that matched the house. In recent years, Wang Gengfa's family had grown the wheat. Although this time he transferred the house to him, but this year's autumn harvest, the grain harvested is still theirs. You need to stock up for the winter.

So, silver still has to save some money.
Thinking like this, Su Shuilin clenched his fists and secretly encouraged himself.
Lin Siyao was amused for a while. However, there was a bitterness in his heart. Thinking that he had left the team of killers, he seemed to have become a useless person who needed women to worry, and some... indescribably useless. However, if he ventured back to that secret place and retrieved his considerable savings, not only would Su Shuilin use it unreliably, but Si Tuo and the others would also use this to track down the undead self.
"Ayao? What's the matter?" Su Shuilin raised his eyes to see Lin Siyao, who was distracted, gently pulled his sleeve, and asked softly.
Lin Siyao came back to his senses, facing Su Shuilin's worried eyes, and then curled the corners of his mouth, "I'm fine."
"Is it really okay?" Su Shuilin heard the words, still caressed his forehead, but was wrapped in his big hand, his body softened, and he was pulled into his arms by the trend.
"I'm pretty useless, aren't I?" Lin Siyao put his head on her shoulder and sighed in a low voice, "Almost useless."
"How could it be!" Su Shuilin heard him being so arrogant, raised his head hurriedly, looked at his slightly dim eyes, and comforted him distressedly: "If it wasn't for you, how could I have walked out of the forest so quickly and unharmed? Dare to go to Fanhua Town to buy a house and settle down... If I didn't have you by my side, I... couldn't be so comfortable staying in the inn and doing what I like... Lin Siyao..." Su Shuilin was almost annoyed at the end.
"Shui Lan..." Lin Siyao sighed and hugged her gently, "I'm sorry, I..."
"Who said that before? The two of you are not allowed to see each other like this?" Su Shuilin grabbed the words in his words and mumbled unhappily.
"Oh... well, it's me who's wrong." Lin Siyao finally let go of the knot that had been haunting her for a long time amid her series of questions that seemed to be complaining but was actually comforting, and pulled her tender and boneless hand with a smile. His chin rubbed. There is deep love in the eyes. How lucky I am to have her.
