Li Xiangyang took Lin Guoliang to buy lumber. He also helped find people to buy marble countertops and glass, and found a blacksmith to custom-make a rectangular charcoal grill box.
It took them several busy days to gather all the materials. Then, the carpenter and the mason went to the courtyard and began their work.
First, they partitioned the courtyard where Wu Shufang lived, then they started clearing out the wildly overgrown weeds and branches.
Just two days after the renovations for the hot pot restaurant began, it was also time to transplant the rapeseed seedlings.
Business at the restaurant was incredibly busy, so Lin Lan turned down their offer to close up shop and help with the transplanting. Instead, she asked Li Guizhi to hire four women from the production team to help pull up the rapeseed seedlings and plant them.
It happened to be a Sunday. Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang got up bright and early and took Little Douzi to Lexing.
