Bai Yi Yang woke up at 2.00 pm and come out of the bedroom carefully so that she wouldn't woke up Bai Yi Fang and Bai Yi Mo. She head outside to find a good spot to build a storage house. She plan to make a 25 m2 storage house. This is to store everything from farming tools and other things that she doesn't want to bring into the house.

"This site is good, but I need to work on it a bit." Bai Yi Yang said. TongTong followed her here to look around too.

"TongTong, what level should I upgrade my construction skills?" She ask again.

'Level 2 is enough. But if you wanted to be more skilled and faster, then you can upgrade to Level 3. Same thing with your cooking. You have so many points now, use it.' TongTong give advice to its Host.

"Good, good. Then, upgrade both to Level 3." Bai Yi Yang laugh.

She immediately list down the things that she will need to start constructing the storage house. Since she wanted the place to go well with their house, she planned to use roof tiles too, then just bricks and concrete for the wall. That will be all. The roof need to be tall since it is a storage house, so about 4 meter tall?

She immediately list down the things that she need, cement, sand and rock for the floor which is 25 m2, then bricks for the wall, about 75m2 area, roof tiles about 25 m2. That should be about right, she also need some additional tools but there is not much. Once she got all these materials, she can start building.

Bai Yi Yang make a call to the hardware shop. She stated her requirements, it was the boss who received her call. She immediately stated her requirements and the boss immediately make estimation.

"It's okay if there is excess, I just don't want the material to be inadequate." Bai Yi Yang said.

"Okay, okay. I will immediately arrange it and send my boys to your house. The payment is like usual, you can transfer it to my accounts." The boss said. And that's the end of conversation.

"Seems like we cannot start today, let's return home to cook." Bai Yi Yang said to TongTong.

Not long after, the hardware boss send the list of things to her, the total come out to be almost 4,000 yuan. Bai Yi Yang immediately transfer the money and proceed with doing her things.

When she enter the house and change clothes just now, Bai Yi Mo and Bai Yi Fang is already sitting in front of the TV watching cartoons. Bai Yi Yang let them be and prepare to make dinner. She is just preparing in advance, tonight dinner is going to be steamed pork belly with preserved mustard green. She is also going to make stir fry egg with chives and lastly miso soup. Bai Yi Yang prepare the steamed pork belly before putting it inside the chiller.

The next thing she is going to make is milk bread. This is quite easy to make, after taking out the necessary tools from the cabinet, Bai Yi Yang start making the dough. Mixing it in the mixer then popping it into the oven to let it rise. After that, she divided it into parts before putting it into a loaf pan, let it rise for one hour. Brush the dough with egg wash before finally into the preheated oven for about 25 minutes.

Bai Yi Yang let the bread rest for a while, later she can put it into plastic bag and it can be their breakfast tomorrow.

'So fragrant..' TongTong come close to smell the milk bread.

'Tomorrow morning, I will toast it and add a bit of butter, then we can drink warm cocoa with it.' Bai Yi Yang said.

'Can't we eat it now?' TongTong ask,

'No, you are the one who wanted to eat steamed pork belly with preserved vegetables just now, what if you become too full.' Bai Yi Yang said.

'I won't, just a bite.' TongTong express it with its body language, rolling from side to side.

'Alright..' Bai Yi Yang took the bread knife and slice the bread. It's halfway cool so Bai Yi Yang just give it to TongTong.

'Sweet..it will go well with cocoa.' The foodie TongTong said. TongTong is an expert of eating now, it knows which one is good to eat with what food.

"Jie, what's this smell?" A small head poke out from the West house door, it is Bai Yi Fang.

"Milk bread." Bai Yi Yang answer.

"I want to try milk bread." Bai Yi Mo also come.

"Okay.." Bai Yi Yang let them try the freshly made bread, in small bite.

"En..it's delicious.." Bai Yi Fang said. But after that she didn't ask more. Well, milk bread is delicious but the siblings had tried many more delicious things. It's just that the smell is very fragrant.

Bai Yi Yang look at the time and it is almost 4.00 pm, she tell her siblings to play on their own while she enter the workshop, to clean it. Bai Yi Mo and Bai Yi Fang played with the puppies in the central courtyard. They are much better now, the slight discomfort didn't hinder them from playing. It's just that Bai Yi Yang didn't allow them to go to the village first.

At around 4.15 pm, the delivery from the hardware store come, Bai Yi Yang guide them to put the stuff at the empty area where she is making the storage house.

"Little miss, for this sand, you can cover them with canvas so that they won't get rained on. As for the cement, it is better to put it inside the house, it will be a disaster if they get rained on." The delivery guy said.

"Okay, listen to you." Bai Yi Yang agree. So, only the cement was put under the corridor in front of the storage room. Oreo and Cookie is curious about that thing and immediately come over to smell it.

'Don't you dare to pee on it!' TongTong scolding voice can be heard from the living room. The puppies immediately stay away and return to running around at the central courtyard. Bai Yi Yang almost burst out laughing when she hear this.

"Little miss, your house is really nice." The delivery boy praise with pure admiration as he look around. Courtyard house ah, it is very pretty if it is properly decorated and maintained. He can never dream of having house like this in this life.

"Thanks. Oh right, I may need to order wood paint again. Trouble you to deliver it later." Bai Yi Yang said.

"No problem, no problem." The delivery boy grinned. Every time he do delivery, his salary also increase. Especially this customer, the order is usually huge, so his bonus is also huge.

Bai Yi Yang send him out at the gate when all the stuff is received. Bai Yi Chen and Bai Yi Ling also returned from school not long after that.

"Ge, let's look at the orchard later. Let Xiao Ling stay with Fang Fang and Xiao Mo, they are a bit unwell after vaccination so I don't dare to leave them at home on their own." Bai Yi Yang said when Bai Yi Chen arrived.

"En, wait for me to change clothes." Bai Yi Chen said.

"Xiao Ling ah Xiao Ling. How was the competition?" Bai Yi Yang ask and put her arm on Bai Yi Ling shoulder.

"I won." Bai Yi Ling smile.

"You won?! Congratulations." Bai Yi Yang pat her head.

"But the teacher said that the inter-school competition will be harder. I won too easily today." Bai Yi Ling said.

"That's natural. At school level, the words they ask is the most basic one. When you have much more competition, they will also use harder words." Bai Yi Yang said.

"When is the inter-school competition?" Bai Yi Yang ask again.

"In 2 weeks. On 25th of April, Wednesday. At Lin An all girls school. I heard Lin An's students is excellent." Bai Yi Ling said.

"Lin An?" Bai Yi Yang search it in her mind. It's not in their town. In their small town, there are 3 schools with both high school and primary school, then there are 2 more small primary schools. Lin An is at the other town.

"How many representatives from your schools?" Bai Yi Yang ask.

"5 people. 2 students from Grade 5 and 2 students from Grade 6. The inter-school competition doesn't follow grade, all 5 of us will compete equally." Bai Yi Ling said.

"I see. Then Xiao Ling don't have to feel pressured, just do your best." Bai Yi Yang said.

"Okay." Bai Yi Ling smile.

After that, Bai Yi Yang told Xiao Ling to stay at home while she and Bai Yi Chen head to the orchard. Last week, Bai Yi Yang was a bit busy, she didn't come to the orchard. So today, she make a careful inspection of the trees. If she see that they are a bit unhealthy, she will mark them with 'grass belt'. That's what Grandpa Zhou called it. For the certain trees with this mark, the trees must be payed attention to.

Bai Yi Yang pat the tree. These fruits tree has been growing on their own but they still survived, when Bai Yi Yang arrived and start cleaning the area and removing the weed, the trees has much more lustre. What more, with Bai Yi Yang's aura, the trees become stronger, the production also increase.

"Second uncle did well with the cleaning." Bai Yi Chen said.

"En. Quite clean." Bai Yi Yang agree. Second Zhou work is to oversee the fruits plucking in the morning and also cleaning up the orchard area. His working hour is flexible, so he is not always in the orchard. Bai Yi Yang doesn't mind at all, as long as he is doing his task well.

The twin return home after looking over the big orchard area. Bai Yi Yang chat with Bai Yi Chen along the way home. Bai Yi Yang told him about the children crying at the clinic and how they meet with Doctor Huang. Bai Yi Yang update him on everything.
