My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 344 - 40 Zhi Xin Garden_2

"Babies, let’s have some dessert," Lin Xiaoguai took out the milk pudding she had made and started to feed the children with a small spoon.

"Ah ah..." Just as Lin Xiaoguai scooped a spoonful of milk pudding to put into Little Spring Breeze’s mouth, Little Spring Breeze protested loudly.

Lin Xiaoguai naturally knew he was protesting that the scoop was too small, but she didn’t indulge him and fed it to him just as it was.

Little Spring Breeze was somewhat unhappy, but the milk pudding was too delicious, and he couldn’t bear to spit it out.

"Madam, the third young master has started teething!" Mrs. Yu, who was cleaning up the toys, suddenly exclaimed.

Lin Xiaoguai was startled and coaxed Little Spring Breeze, "Baby, good boy, open your mouth and let Mommy see." She knew the quadruplets and Little Niangao were the same; although they couldn’t speak yet, they were already able to understand some simple words said by adults.

"Ah—" Little Spring Breeze obediently opened his mouth wide.

Lin Xiaoguai took a look, and indeed, there was a white point emerging on the lower front tooth.

"Sisi and the others don’t seem to have any teeth yet?" She remembered Little Niangao didn’t get teeth this early either.

"This varies from person to person," Mrs. Yu smiled. "Some children’s teeth won’t grow until they’re one year old. The third young master’s teeth are not particularly early; some grow them as early as six months."

The children couldn’t understand their conversation, and seeing Lin Xiaoguai pause feeding, Qiaoqiao crawled over with hands and feet, trying to snatch the spoon from her.

Lin Xiaoguai, of course, wouldn’t let her succeed, and seeing her frown and about to cry, quickly scooped another spoonful of milk pudding into her mouth to settle her down.

After the renovations began on the main house at the farmstead, Lin Xiaoguai started agonizing over what to name the farmstead.

In her previous life, she had visited quite a few farmsteads, but she didn’t want to follow the crowd. The farm itself was only an extension of the shop she was opening, intended to conceal her space, and she wasn’t planning on putting much effort into running it.

Moreover, unlike those farmsteads that welcome guests, she had never thought of opening her farmstead to the public or hosting tourists.

However, there was real estate within the farmstead that she intended to sell in the future, so the name couldn’t be chosen carelessly.

After flipping through dictionaries for several days, Lin Xiaoguai finally settled on the name "Zhi Xin Garden" for the farmstead.

Zhi Xin, the most sincere heart.

To be sincerely grateful for this second chance at life.

"Zhi Xin Garden?" Shen Chi heard the name she chose and frowned thoughtfully, "Isn’t that a bit too literary?"

Lin Xiaoguai gave him a look, "Do you have a better name?"

Shen Chi touched his nose and decided it wasn’t worth arguing with his wife over such matters.

"What about the name of the shop?" he then asked.

"That doesn’t need a name," Lin Xiaoguai said lazily. "Anyway, the shop is located within Zhi Xin Garden, customers won’t have trouble finding it."

Shen Chi was somewhat speechless. It’s not about whether people can find it or not, right? If there’s no name for the shop, how will people know what you sell? If they don’t know what you’re selling, why would they bother?

"Do you have a concept for your shop? There are clothing stores, snack bars, restaurants, and general stores outside. What kind of shop do you want to open?" he increasingly found his wife unreliable.

"...A gift shop," Lin Xiaoguai replied after some thought.

"A store that sells gift items?" Shen Chi’s eyes brightened, "That’s good, the things you’re selling are so miscellaneous, a general store would sound too low-end, a gift shop sounds more elegant."

Lin Xiaoguai just smiled and kept silent.

"Shouldn’t you do some promotions for the new shop opening?" Shen Chi offered his help with concern.

"No need," Lin Xiaoguai shook her head, pressing a finger against his face, "Have you forgotten your own status? I am, after all, the Junior General’s wife. If people hear I’ve opened a shop, wouldn’t they come to support it?"

Shen Chi frowned at her words, "That’s true, but that would only be among high society, how would the general public know about your shop?"

"It’s not necessary to advertise to the general public. After all, the items I’m selling won’t be cheap; most people either can’t afford them or are reluctant to buy them," Lin Xiaoguai said, looking down with a faint voice.

Shen Chi thought about it and it made sense; the flowers Wanwan planted were all tens of thousands per pot, indeed not something the average person could afford.

"Then, do as you please," he said rather helplessly, having never seen someone do business like this.

Over a month passed and thanks to the sufficient number of renovation workers, the main house was already decorated. Because the paint was purchased from the exchange shop, they didn’t have to worry about formaldehyde issues – of course, people of this era seldom had such environmental awareness.

Although it was just one house, the design style was not solely of one type.

According to Lin Xiaoguai’s requirements, the main house designed by the alien architectural designer was a spiral castle structure, different from those modern spiral buildings of the later generations. The overall style of the main house was completely noble and luxurious, yet the lines leaned towards simplicity and elegance.

The main house was divided into several parts. The shop occupied the first floor of the main house, which was about five hundred square meters, and designed with luxury as the main theme. Without any wall partitions, the space was open and expansive. Carved load-bearing columns appeared at regular intervals, wall coverings in a subdued gold style, precious mahogany floors, and the magnificent large chandeliers on the ceiling made the place look more like a resplendent palace than a shop.

Then came the second floor, separated into two parts. One part was meant for the three elderly people to live in in the future, designed with four rooms and two halls focusing on safety and comfort, plain yet dignified. The rest of the space was Lin Xiaoguai’s workshop, which was also the source of the store’s merchandise. The decor in the workshop wasn’t elaborate, with a simple and clean style. Whether it was wallpaper, light fixtures, or flooring, everything was simple and practical without any fancy elements.

The third floor was for the children, with their bedrooms, playroom, nursery, study, and living room designed with fresh and lively as the main theme.

Finally, the attic on the fourth floor was the living space for Lin Xiaoguai and Shen Chi. The attic was only half the size of the other three floors, but it was more than enough for the two of them. Lin Xiaoguai chose a natural style, going back to basics, for their living space; living there long-term would definitely be a great pleasure for the eyes.
