Upon hearing this, Lei Zhen opened the lid, revealing the thousand-layer cake on the plate.

Zhang Huifang had never seen such pastries before, and looked at Si Yueyue in surprise: "You made it yourself? It looks really good. I thought you were just like your mother. You are amazing every time you make it."

"Your mother makes everything look good and delicious. Yours looks good too, and it must taste good too."

Hearing Zhang Huifang talking about Wen Ya again, Si Yueyue smiled and asked, "Aunt Fang, I always hear you say that my mother has good craftsmanship. Is there any inheritance in my mother's family?"

"That's right. Someone in the Wen family used to be a royal chef, but due to some reasons, the career was interrupted until Grandpa Wen appeared and inherited the skills, and then he opened his own restaurant and hotel."

"When the inheritance came to Uncle Wen, he had no talent for cooking. In order to continue the restaurant, Grandpa Wen passed the inheritance to Zhong Nu."

"When Xiaoya was born and grew up, Grandpa Wen discovered her talent and taught her all the recipes that had been passed down from generation to generation."

"Xiaoya is very talented, even surpassing Grandpa Wen. Grandpa Wen was very pleased at that time."

"As for Uncle Wen, although he has no talent for cooking, he is very good at business."

"With Uncle Wen's support, the Wen family's restaurant and hotel have grown bigger, and Uncle Wen has also been involved in other businesses, allowing the Wen family to move to a higher level..."

"Come to think of it, Xiaoya's family also had a big house in the past, which was more magnificent than Sister Manyan's small western-style house."

"Uncle Wen originally wanted to expand his home and build some pavilions and lotus ponds that he liked, but the land of the old house was not big to begin with."

"Grandpa Wen also disagreed with him moving the old house, so Uncle Wen chose a piece of land in the suburbs and designed and built it himself. I went there with Xiaoya a few times, and it was really unique."

When Si Yueyue heard Zhang Huifang's words, she couldn't help but imagine the scene in the Wen family's house.

"Aunt Fang, please tell me more. I want to know more about Grandpa and Mother."

Seeing that Si Yueyue liked to hear about the Wen family's affairs, Zhang Huifang nodded and continued.

"You should have seen that house before. It's on the road to the northeast of where your troops came out and almost reached the village. It's the abandoned house."

Si Yueyue thought about it after hearing this, and it seemed that she had seen him when they came out in the car. She looked at Lei Zhen.

Lei Zhen followed her line of sight and nodded to her: "The abandoned house in the northeast is the one you asked about."

Si Yueyue understood and nodded. When she saw it from afar, she asked Lei Zhen about it, but she didn't care at that time.

"Aunt Fang, I remember you said before that mother only left me the house I live in now. Since there is another house in the suburbs, why didn't mother tell me?"

"Well, it's normal that your mother didn't say anything. When wars broke out frequently, your grandfather and his family donated a lot of supplies to the battlefield."

"Because the family is well-off and Uncle Wen can make money, many people are eyeing the Wen family."

"Once when Uncle Wen and Xiaoya were out, something happened at home. Grandpa Wen, Grandma Wen, and Aunt Wen all lost their lives..."

When Zhang Huifang said this, she suddenly choked up. Si Yueyue went forward, hugged her, and gently stroked her back.

She also felt sad when she heard it, but that was how it was during wars. Wars didn’t just produce heroes…

"In those days, your grandfather donated the rest of his wealth, along with the mansion, for your mother's safety."

"Then take your mother and rob the old house together..."

When Si Yueyue heard this, she thought about the things in the basement. They should have been left there by her great-grandfather and his family. Otherwise, they would have been gone when the accident happened at home.

"It was at that time that your mother decided to join the army. Before she left, she found me and Sister Manyan and asked us to help take care of Uncle Wen."

"I agreed at the time, but later I left letters to my family and Sister Manyan, and secretly followed Xiaoya to join the army."

"Later, I was seriously injured and left the army early. Your mother found another job and met your father..."
