Chapter 694: 075 Standing cabinet, New Year’s Eve_2

Just like the wheelchair, this invention also came from his daughter’s mind! Lin Jiaxin looked at his daughter with a different gleam in his eyes now, chuckling as he patted her shoulder tenderly, his face beaming with indulgence.

Lin Yuan giggled before presenting several types of wardrobes she had seen before to Lin Changqing: double-doored ones, triple-doored ones, and even five or six doors if there was enough space at home. Of course, these designs were all within Lin Changqing’s grasp.

To differentiate it from traditional wardrobes, Lin Yuan also conveyed the name "standing wardrobe" to him. Moreover, thanks to the distinct features of the standing wardrobe, Lin Changqing was now free to carve or paint any patterns without restriction.

There were also various styles of clothes hangers, ones for hanging shirts and ones for skirts. Lin Yuan even sketched a special hanger for trousers, resembling an S-shaped hook, twisted and curved. Since this kind of hanger required bending to be functional, Lin Yuan suggested that using wire would be better.

Lin Changqing listened intently to Lin Yuan’s explanations, occasionally asking questions about things he didn’t understand. Finally, he took out a pen and paper and diligently drew all the different styles she had mentioned.

Lin Changqing was also very clever. Without Lin Yuan needing to say much, he conjured up several other styles of standing wardrobes from the existing ones.

"Yuanyuan, if these standing wardrobes sell well, I’ll definitely credit you with the idea! Whatever you want, I’ll buy it for you," Lin Changqing joyfully set down his charcoal pencil. Having spent half a year working together, he had come to treat his master’s child as his own sister.

Lan Hua burst into laughter as well, "Brother, you’re being silly. Lin Yuan is a little tycoon; she doesn’t need you to buy her anything. Instead, when she marries Xia Zheng, you should make her a set of the finest furniture as a gift!"

"Ha-ha, that’s a brilliant idea, my sister is the smartest!" laughed Lin Changqing, looking up to the sky.

Lin Yuan wore a helpless expression; now that her mood had improved, this brother-sister pair had begun teaming up to tease her again.

Before the New Year, almost every household in the village was out and about, exchanging gifts to maintain relationships. Those who were better off sent fancier gifts, while those less so shared some of their household provisions. The principle was reciprocity—that was how it worked.

Lin Yuan’s house had sent out quite a bit of pork and naturally had also received many items from the villagers. Although these were the most ordinary gifts, they were all about the sentiment. Whether it was white flour buns or cornmeal steamed buns, she accepted them all with a beaming smile.

That evening, Liu Limin arrived in a horse-drawn carriage. Ever since the opening of her Liu’s Brewery, she had spent a hefty sum on a carriage that could be used for deliveries and personal transport alike. And Liu Limin—truly a formidable woman—would take charge as coachman herself when returning home, leaving delivery duties to her employees. That day, she had driven the carriage over on her own.

From afar, Lin Yuan saw her wielding the horsewhip with grace, skillfully guiding the carriage, and couldn’t help feeling embarrassed. She considered herself tough enough, but she paled in comparison to her aunt.

"Yuanyuan!" Upon seeing Lin Yuan at the door, Liu Limin flicked the whip, speeding up the carriage, drawing looks from everyone on the street.

As soon as the carriage came to a stop, without waiting for Lin Yi to come over, Liu Limin lifted one hand and carried a jar of liquor into the house by herself.

Lin Yuan’s tongue stiffened, suddenly at a loss for words. This aunt was indeed impressive!

Liu Limin’s brewery business was doing well, with its rice wine being especially popular, as were its various fruit wines. Apart from supplying Fuman Building and several branches, many families in town had also placed orders for rice wine and fruit wine. With their mild alcoholic content, and the fruit wines being tasty and trendy, they were favored by many well-to-do ladies and young women.

"There’s a basket in the carriage too, Yuanyuan. You can just bring in that basket," she said.

Lin Yi attempted to take the jar from Liu Limin’s hands but was dismissed by the strong-willed woman, "Don’t bother, you might drop it. Oh, could you feed the horse for me? It felt sluggish on the way here, surely those boys at the shop have been lazy and haven’t fed it enough."

The corners of Lin Yi’s mouth twitched. What did she mean, not fed enough? Didn’t she see the horse’s breath pluming white? Surely you flew here, wearing the poor creature out!
