Chapter 25

Two days later, the two families moved in. Although the uncle's house had not been renovated, Ning Qing let everyone stay in the back house first so that they would not have to waste time moving things back and forth too often. However, the uncle still had to prepare a place for the many rabbits that had not yet been moved in. As for the door connecting the two houses, the uncle had also finished building it, making it more convenient to visit each other. Ning Qing also brought her younger siblings to help the uncle renovate the house. As for Ning Qing, she had prepared the ground to prepare for the rabbits that would come to live here in the future. When Xiao Yao saw that her niece had prepared the ground and was waiting, he asked to borrow her cart to go get the rabbits tomorrow. Ning Qing felt helpless because of her uncle's consideration. She could only tell him that the uncle could use it as he pleased. After the moving was done, her family would no longer need the cart.

The others could only laugh at Xiaoyao who was being scolded by her granddaughter. Everyone helped out and asked Ning Qing what she would sell for breakfast. Ning Qing said that she would make porridge for 10 e-pai each, and the steamed buns would only be filled with meat. Her shop didn't want to sell too many things, just focus on the quantity. The porridge and steamed buns were easy to make and easy to eat for breakfast. Ning Qing also thought of boiling soup for everyone to eat for free. She had to boil soup for her father anyway, so it could be considered free food for the shop to attract customers. Another thing was that she had a lot of Nua powder, so she didn't have to worry about running out if she made soup.

Xiao Shui also thought that the breakfast selection was too little. Ning Qing herself didn't think it was too little. After all, her cooking was better than other shops'. She wasn't afraid that no one would come to eat her porridge. Ning Qing also told her mother that if she made too many things and no one finished eating them, it would be a waste. Xiao Shui listened and agreed with her daughter. Moreover, her shop had just opened, so she probably wouldn't be able to make too many things and her capital would be tied up.

After talking to her mother, Ning Qing went to help her uncle renovate the house with her younger siblings. In two days, her cousins would have a day off. At that time, there would be a lot more people helping to renovate the house. She herself would only open the shop on the days that school was open. If school was closed, she would also have a day off. She didn't want to sell every day just for the sake of making a little money and then have to suffer. However, she had quite a bit of savings right now. She still had to send her younger brother to school. She would set aside some money for this.

Today, Xiao Yao's house had not yet been renovated, so he went to stay at his sister's room first. Luckily, the house at the back had ten rooms, five rooms on each floor, and each room was quite spacious. Ning Qing used her free time to draw a sitting toilet for her father. While eating, she asked her uncle where he could get a model made, because she wanted something.

Xiao Yao said that there was a foundry in the city. He would take her to see it tomorrow. Ning Qing thanked her uncle for helping her so much. She also wanted him to improve the toilets for the sake of the family's hygiene. Moreover, her grandparents were old. It would be very difficult to use the pit toilet now. Her father could only use a chamber pot and wash it. After eating, Ning Qing talked with her uncle about the toilets she was talking about. Xiao Yao thought that these toilets were very convenient and clean. So, he asked his granddaughters to make several sets so that they would not have to compete to use the toilet anymore. It would not hurt to have more toilets. Ning Qing also agreed with her uncle. So, she planned to make five toilets for her family and some for customers who needed to use the toilet. As for the shower rooms, it was not difficult. They were used to taking a shower in a bucket anyway, so there was no problem using the toilet anymore.

The next day, Ning Qing brought the toilet and bathroom designs with her. She asked her uncle if anyone was hired to drill septic tanks, so she could hire someone to do it, rather than having to dig them herself and tire herself out. Xiao Yao herself was not familiar with the people in the city, so she said that she would try asking the owner of the pottery shop first, he should know better.

Ning Qing also agreed with her uncle. She even suggested that her uncle build two more bathrooms like hers in their residence. Otherwise, if someone had to go to the bathroom at the same time, they would definitely have to run to her house to use the bathroom. Xiao Yao listened to her niece and agreed. He didn't expect his niece to be so meticulous.

hen they arrived at the pottery shop, Ning Qing was the one who talked about what she wanted and ordered eight of them at once. She said that she would make separate restrooms for customers who came to eat with her so that they wouldn't have to join them. She planned to make restrooms at the back for everyone.

The shop owner was also kind enough to tell her about a contractor in the city who offered good prices for renovation and construction work. The two of them went as the shop owner had told them and explained the bathroom she wanted. The toilets would only be installed after the construction was complete. On the day she and her uncle arranged to pick them up, they would come by cart because each toilet was really quite heavy. Ning Qing was afraid that she wouldn't be able to carry them, so she relied on the cart that the house had.

Xiao Yao, who saw that his granddaughter had talked to the craftsman, also asked the craftsman about renovating his house. He himself was going to make two bathrooms as his granddaughter had told him. Not to mention renovating his house's roof, which required skilled workers. So he thought of hiring the same craftsman.
