Chapter 97 Finding the Secret Grid

When Li Meng was in modern times, she liked to read some curious books, such as tomb robbing and treasure appraisal. She also saw palace fighting dramas where the empress's dressing table and bed had secret compartments. When she saw this dressing table, she wanted to take a closer look. It turned out that hard work paid off, haha, she made a profit.

"Sister, how did you come up with this idea?" Li Wen didn't know what was going on in his sister's mind. Why so many wonderful ideas.

"From a book? Haven't you read it?" Li Meng answered while carefully taking something out from a small secret compartment under the drawer.

When Li Meng took out the things one by one and placed them on the table, Li Wen was so stunned that he couldn't even blink.

Four small gold ingots and ten golden melon seeds of different sizes sparkled in Li Wen's eyes.

"Haha, I'm rich, I'm rich!" Li Meng was so excited that she almost jumped up. Although there were gold jewelry in her space shopping mall, this one was old and could even be an antique?

"Sister, you can't let anyone know about this. You must keep it well and not tell anyone." Li Wen looked at his sister a little nervously.

"Brother, don't worry. I know it without you telling me. I know that wealth should not be shown off."

"It's good that you know it. Look around to see if there's any other place like this," Li Wen urged.

Li Meng wanted to laugh, how could there be more? Her brother must be obsessed with money, hahaha. Even though she thought so, Li Meng still checked carefully and found that it was indeed gone.

Li Wen watched his sister check the dressing table from head to toe, then shook her head at him.

Li Meng put the secret compartment back and put away the gold ingots and melon seeds. She thought that even Sister Hong might not have discovered the things inside. She would go and take a look tomorrow. If she found any suitable old items, she would keep them. This is equivalent to protecting antiques in disguise, isn't it!

"Brother, I'll go pack your things for you to take with you. I'm going to town to mail something to Pei Yu tomorrow, so I'll go with you."

After Li Meng tidied up the dressing table, she started packing the things she was going to take away for her brother.

"Mengmeng, don't prepare anything else for me, haha, just give me something delicious. I will take it back to my old leader. He has always taken good care of me. He has no other hobbies but eating." Li Wen told his sister about how his leader took care of him.

After hearing this, Li Meng also felt that this leader was really good to her brother, which was why her brother asked her for some instant noodles for breakfast.

"Brother, don't worry, I will prepare everything for you. Whatever you want to eat tonight, I will make it for you."

Li Wen scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly. He really didn't care about food, but his sister's cooking skills were so good that it was difficult for him to make a decision and he wanted to eat everything.

"I'll eat whatever you cook. I'm not picky."

"Okay, brother. You take this basket of things to the captain's house. When you come back, go to the Youth League Home and call Zhou Hui over. Ask him to cut some bamboo sticks. You talk to him and he will understand."

Li Wen happily went to the captain's house carrying a basket. In the basket was a bowl of braised pork and some meatballs put by Li Meng. It was not convenient to give them to the captain at noon because there were too many people around. It happened that her brother was sent away as well, so he had time to enter the space to prepare things.

Pei Yu also needs to send some things to him, plus his brother needs to take some things with him. The New Year is approaching, and his second uncle and grandmother also need to send some things over. He has found the excuse, and I believe his grandmother and second uncle will not say anything.

Li Meng called Dandan with her mind, asking Dandan to collect a lot of food for her, including lamb for barbecue tonight.

After erasing all the things on the packaging that were not in line with this era, Dandan was so tired that he flapped his wings back to the space to recuperate, leaving Li Meng with his head down to continue cleaning up.

I brought my own meat sauce for my brother, as well as the kimchi sauce, pressed duck, braised rabbit legs and sausages in the space, all packed in a white cloth bag. I also packed a portion for Pei Yu. I have to find time to write a letter tonight. I didn't have time to write a reply after receiving the letter. I guess this guy must be waiting impatiently.

After everything was packed up, Wu Ruirui came back humming a song with an envelope in his hand.

"Haha, Mengmeng, my parents sent me some things. I'm going to pick them up tomorrow. I wonder if there's anything I like to eat. We can eat it together then."

"I'm going to the post office tomorrow too. Let's go together then. We can take a bus there and ride a bike back. How about that?" Li Meng said.

"Great, haha, then it's settled. I'll go write a letter to my parents now," and then he hurriedly ran into the room to write a letter.

Li Meng shook her head and smiled lovingly. This girl really does what she wants. She is so innocent and cute.

Zhou Hui also came with a bunch of bamboo sticks. He asked excitedly, "Sister Meng, are we having barbecue tonight?"

"What do you think? Can't you see I'm cutting the meat? Wash your hands and come over to help me skewer it." Li Meng gave him a knowing look.

"Okay, I'll go wash my hands now." Zhou Hui happily ran to the yard to wash his hands.

It was so pleasant for four of us to eat skewers and drink beer in the evening.

"Mengmeng, you really know how to eat. You can think of this. And the seasoning on it is really fragrant and spicy." Li Wen said while eating. He could imagine that if his old leader ate this, he would definitely praise it.

"Brother, come and see me when you are on holiday and I will cook for you," Li Meng was busy entertaining guests today and did not have a good meal at noon. This evening, he could finally have a peaceful meal.

"Okay, I'll come when I have a holiday," Li Wen nodded.

As night falls, the sky looks like a black cloth dotted with glowing pearls. Looking up makes people feel at ease. Li Meng likes this atmosphere very much. She stood in the yard and looked up for a long time.

Tonight, Li Meng and Wu Ruirui were still squeezed in the same bed. After washing up, Wu Ruirui read a book while she was writing a letter. I wonder if Pei Yu was thinking of her at this time.

She picked up the pen and briefly recounted what had happened recently, and then wrote a lot of words that would make him blush and his heart beat fast when he saw them. In the end, she hoped that he would abide by the male ethics in the army and not get together with any nurses, art soldiers, or young ladies for her, because if she knew about it, the consequences would be very serious!

Li Meng is looking forward to Pei Yu’s expression when he sees this letter. Will he blush? I couldn't help but smile foolishly when I thought about it.

"What are you laughing at? Go to bed early after you finish writing. You have to get up early tomorrow morning." Wu Ruirui tapped the giggling Li Meng with a book. She closed the book, got into the warm bed, and called Li Meng to come in and sleep with her.

"Here it comes, here it comes," Li Meng hung the written letter to dry, folded it and put it into an envelope, then turned into bed. The two sisters played around for a while and then fell asleep. That night, Li Meng saw Pei Yu in her dream, and their hands were held so tightly that they couldn't be separated.
