It was a rare occasion for her uncle to come in, and Yun Huaying wanted to ask him for help. "Uncle, I asked my aunt to go to bed early. Can you stay in the space for a while longer and help me organize the things in the space later?"
"What?"
Yun Shaofan continued to sit down and pointed at the endless fields not far away. "Are you taking care of these orchards and herb gardens?"
"No, I can control the juices, herbs, and grains in the space with my mind, so I don't need to work hard to grow them myself. What I want you to help me collect is the property I looted from the Tian family. This family of the Tian family often shouted slogans to overthrow capitalists, but they also engaged in shameless plundering and usurpation of property. I have collected all the property they have plundered over the years into the space. The amount is astonishing. Please help me organize and register it later."
"good."
Yun Shaofan thought the Tian family might have looted a few hundred thousand, but when he saw a warehouse of two to three hundred square meters filled with boxes, he was shocked: "So many!"
"I roughly calculated that there were nearly a million in banknotes and cash, and countless other items like gold, jade, and jadeite. There were also many antiques, cultural relics, and famous calligraphy and paintings. I estimate that all the precious treasures in the entire capital fell into their hands."
There were so many things that the two of them worked together and it took nearly three hours to sort them out.
Yun Huaying moved all the things to the next room where luxury goods were stored and sorted them out. These items cannot be taken out now. She will discuss with her uncle how to deal with these things when the policy is relaxed in the future.
She originally wanted to buy watches for her aunt and her family, but when she was sorting out the items, she found a dozen mechanical watches from the Tian family and took the boxes to her uncle.
"Uncle, please pick out three watches for Auntie and Uncle Meng. My cousins won't take any for now. When I come to spend the New Year with you, I'll give them one each. Just lie and say you bought them all on the black market."
"OK."
Yun Shaofan picked out three relatively common watches.
Thinking that the Han family would come over tomorrow night, Yun Huaying pointed to the piles of good things in front of her and said, "Uncle, let's pick out some suitable gifts for the Han family."
"Gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy, and paintings, etc., can't be taken out. Pick out two pairs of Maotai liquor, a few cans of good tea, and a few kilograms of common apples and pears. Don't take out-of-season fruits. Take some of your ginseng and gastrodia elata collections, and also some of the common pills you prepare."
"Okay, I'll prepare now." Yun Huaying turned around and started packing.
When she came out with her things, Yun Shaofan remembered that he hadn't discussed another important matter with her yet. "Huaying, your uncle never asked about your relationship with Han Zheng in detail before. What do you think of him now?"
Having lived two lifetimes, Yun Huaying is open and honest about the issue of relationships, without any shame or embarrassment. She honestly tells her thoughts: "He's a good person, and he's my ideal partner, but I don't want to think about marriage yet."
"Are you worried about the Liang family?"
"No." Yun Huaying shook her head and said seriously, "The Liang family is not an obstacle. The obstacle between us is the political review."
Yun Shaofan frowned. She was right. Although Han Zheng had retired from the army, given the Han family's arrangements for him and his own pursuits, he would definitely go into politics in the future. His wife had to pass a strict political review.
Although Huaying herself is very outstanding, she has the stain of her father Fang Ziqiang, a death row inmate. She will never be able to join the military or politics and embark on a career in politics in her life, and there are many restrictions on her marriage partner.
Thinking that the bastard Fang Ziqiang had harmed his father, then his sister, and now his niece, Yun Shaofan wanted to rush over and dig out his corpse and whip it.
Seeing that her uncle had stopped talking, Yun Huaying sighed and tried to persuade him, "Uncle, you can't choose your birth, but you can change your fate with your own abilities. I always believe that man can conquer nature. There will definitely be a way to resolve this matter in the future. If this obstacle is truly insurmountable, I'll have a good talk with him later. I won't delay him."
Although her expression seemed calm, Yun Shaofan could hear the melancholy in her tone and felt very uncomfortable. "Huaying, you are right. Man can conquer nature. There must be a way."
Yun Huaying didn't want her uncle to worry about her anymore, so she smiled and said, "Uncle, everything is moving in the right direction now, and the future will definitely be bright. Let's put aside the things that we can't handle now for now. Let's live in the present and do what we should do now. Maybe when that day comes, these obstacles will naturally be resolved."
"Um."
Yun Shaofan nodded slightly, and said with some emotion: "You are a blessed person chosen by heaven. Your future life will definitely be wonderful. This obstacle will not affect your life. It is just a small test for you."
Yun Huaying felt that what her uncle said made sense, and the smile on her face was as warm as the winter sun, dispelling the haze that shrouded her.
"It's getting late, let's go out."
When they came out of the space, Yun Jingmo and the others had just finished taking a shower and were washing clothes by the well. It was obvious that they had been outside for no more than half an hour.
Yun Shaofan shook his head, dismissing everything he had just seen and heard in the space, and asked, "Jing Mo, has your mother gone back to her room to sleep?"
"I haven't slept yet. Uncle Meng just discovered a large darkroom next to the woodshed at the back. There's a lot of usable old furniture in it. They plan to move it out, clean it, and air it out."
Yun Shaofan was about to go back to his room when he saw Meng Fan and his wife carrying a large water jar out. He hurried over to help, "Is there much stuff in there?"
"Quite a lot. Some are old, but they're not broken. All of them are still usable."
They had originally planned to buy some furniture tomorrow, but now that they found this old item, they could save some money.
Although these things are a bit old, they are much better than the furniture they used in the capital farm. They are all made of good wood, strong and durable. If the paint is peeling, they can just buy some paint and repair it themselves.
Everyone worked together, some fetched water, some wiped, and cleaned and put away all the usable furniture, placing them in the empty backyard to dry. After finishing all this, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
A dreamless night.
After letting go of their fatigue and the depression that had been weighing on their hearts, everyone slept soundly that night and woke up naturally at dawn.
Yun Jingmo was the first to come out of the room, yawning. He smelled the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen at the back and strode over. Seeing his cousin preparing breakfast in the kitchen, a smile appeared on his handsome face: "Huaying, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
"I sleep well and get enough sleep."
Yun Huaying also got up later than usual this morning. Seeing that everyone else hadn't gotten up yet, she took out flour from the space and prepared breakfast.
