In fact, Lin Qingping was just asking. Since she had a refrigerator and the weather was so hot, she thought of making shaved ice.

She didn't notice whether there were any shaved ice shops in the capital now, but she had the impression that shaved ice machines seemed to have been on the market in recent years. In her previous life, she had only come into contact with hand-cranked ones.

She asked casually because she knew Gu Juncheng was good at hands-on work and maybe he could make a hand-cranked one. What she didn't expect was that after she described to him what she wanted to do, he brought back a plane in the evening. Yes, it was a brand new set of woodworking tools.

Then she picked up the big ice cubes she had frozen in the refrigerator and started shaving ice...

He even brought a clean basin. The crystal clear ice chips fell into the large basin, and Lin Qingping was stunned.

A few large blocks of ice filled half a basin of ice chips.

Lin Qingping was afraid that the seeds would melt, so every time she dug out a little bit, she would take it to the kitchen, drizzle it with various fruit juice syrups, and add various dried fruits.

Zhiyuan was the first one to eat. He was enjoying it so much that his eyes narrowed. If Lin Qingping hadn't stopped him for fear that he would get an upset stomach, he would have eaten three bowls!

"Take it and give one to your friends and each family in the family quarters." Lin Qingping put four copies on a tray and asked Zhiyuan to deliver it.

We had planned to have afternoon tea, but the family members didn’t come because they felt it was her first time on the island and they didn’t want to bother her. In that case, they’ll just send everyone some iced summer drinks!

Gu Juncheng, the main labor force, was the last to eat.

"Lin Qingping, what on earth can't you do?" Gu Juncheng was eating mango shaved ice.

When we arrived on the island, we suddenly saw an abundance of fruit varieties. For a tropical region, sometimes the fruits we bought were unfamiliar to our family members from the north.

Lin Qingping also ate slowly, staring at him and asked with a smile, "I want to ask you something, what don't you know?"

"All of my work is physical labor." He didn't care.

Lin Qingping didn't argue with him. After eating the shaved ice and washing up, he sat at the table to draw a blueprint.

Zhiyuan had gone somewhere to play, and Gu Juncheng slowly walked up to her, watching her drawing, and said, "Zhiyuan, you haven't spent a few minutes at home since you came to the island, right?"

"Well, it's like a fish in water!" Lin Qingping had previously worried whether taking Zhiyuan away from the capital would be unfair to him, but now it is clear that he truly loves life here.

"How can that be? We have to assign him homework!" Gu Juncheng frowned.

Lin Qingping looked up and glared at him, "You are really the kind of parent who can't stand seeing their children happy!" Is there such a thing? Do you have to assign homework to your children after they play for a while?

"Lin Qingping, you can't spoil her!" He even argued to correct her view on education, "Otherwise, practicing calligraphy would be good too."

In short, it keeps people from being idle!

Lin Qingping snorted and continued drawing.

"What is this? The round one?" Gu Juncheng pointed at the design on the picture.

He understood everything else.

This is the partition that Lin Qingping made for the front and back yards. There is a garden area in the front yard. There is a place with a large table and chairs, and a grill, which should be used for barbecue. He remembered the days of roasting whole lamb in the capital. Lin Qingping liked these things.

There was a vegetable growing area in the backyard, and there was a round thing drawn on it that didn't look like a stove, so he couldn't understand it.

"This, just think of it as an oven!" Lin Qingping said, "Earthen oven!"

Seeing Gu Juncheng's confused face, Lin Qingping explained to him, gesturing as she spoke, and then she said, "There's no rush. Let's do it when it's cooler in the fall. I'll get other things done in the yard first."

From that day on, Lin Qingping devoted herself to tidying up her home and yard.

The front yard was paved with a winding stone path, with barbecue tables and chairs placed in its partitions. A large parasol was also bought for the soldiers who went out to buy supplies, which could provide both sun protection and rain protection.

As for the garden, it will take time to see results.

Love is like a flower, and the process of waiting for the flower to grow slowly is also the process of counting the time slowly day by day.

In addition to growing vegetables in the backyard, she was thinking of making a bread kiln, also called an earth kiln, which can be used as a baking oven. She saw a blogger do it in her previous life, and later some bloggers followed suit. She liked it very much and thought that the bread baked in that kiln was particularly fragrant.

But she didn't want to do it now. She wanted to wait until it was a little cooler. Although this was a tropical place, the temperature would eventually moderate.

The main thing is that she didn't remember the method and process clearly. It had been a lifetime, how could she remember so much! The thing that impressed her most was the many wine bottles...

Unexpectedly, Gu Juncheng started to take action after just listening to her words.

When I came back at night, I would squat in the backyard and tinker with it according to the ideas provided by Lin Qingping. If it failed, I would start over. If I felt it was not right, I would tear it down.

As for Zhiyuan, he suddenly became interested in learning how to make shaved ice. After a few days, he became very proficient in using the woodworking equipment. Gradually, his shaved ice was better than Lin Qingping's. When Lin Qingping was tired, his son brought him a bowl of cool and sweet shaved ice, which made him feel very happy.

Just when Lin Qingping felt that the years were peaceful and life was beautiful, someone came to her and told her that Zhiyuan was in trouble.
