Chapter 6 Mother Xia's Love
After Xia's mother went to work in the afternoon, Xia Wanyang thought it would be a good idea to take inventory of the two warehouses.
"Go in!"
The next second, he appeared in the space. At this time, 007's devilish voice sounded again, "You don't have to shout every time you come in, just say it in your heart. You can use your consciousness to collect things, what an old-fashioned guy!"
Xia Wanyang's cheeks puffed up. "Humph, you are the country bumpkin. How would I know if you didn't tell me? You dare to laugh at me! Do you believe I will complain to you?"
007 laughed: "Complain against me? Where are you going to complain?"
Xia Wanyang rolled her eyes and ignored it. She really didn't know where to complain!
Xia Wanyang went to the mountain for the whole afternoon. There were many small animals and wild beasts on the mountain, but they all stayed away from her. She was quite scared at first, but later she gradually discovered that these wild beasts looked friendly but afraid when they saw her, and she immediately became braver!
She went to the warehouse again. She only went into the first one last night. At noon, she opened the second one with her mother and found that it was full of rice, flour, and soybean oil. There were more than a dozen kinds of seasonings, as well as a large number of fruits and vegetables. Although there were not many varieties, the quantity was large enough!
In the evening, the family returned home from get off work and after dinner, Xia's mother mysteriously took Xia Wanyang back to the room, and then took out a box from the closet.
"What is this, Mom?"
Mother Xia whispered, "Before, I was afraid you might lose it, so I didn't dare to bring you more. Now you have a place to put it, and I feel relieved about you. Of course, I have to bring you more before you leave!"
After saying that, he opened the lid and it was full of money again!
Oh my god!
Xia Wanyang screamed in shock, "Mom, where did you get all this money? Is our family so rich?"
Mother Xia had a look on her face that said, "You are ignorant." "Of course it's inherited from our ancestors. My step-grandmother was a princess in the late Qing Dynasty. She was injured when she was persecuted. After she married my grandfather, she didn't have any children of her own. She treated your grandfather as her own son. When she died, she left more than a hundred boxes for your grandfather. When your grandfather died, they were passed down to me. Apart from your father, not even your brother knows about this!"
Xia Wanyang said, "But how did you pass the political review when you married my dad?"
"My step-grandmother died more than a year after marrying my grandfather. The old man later married another wife, and her ancestors were poor peasants for three generations! Besides, when my grandfather married my step-grandmother, they didn't even get a marriage certificate. My grandfather didn't despise her and even saved her, so she was so devoted to my father!"
"By the way, those boxes are hidden in the backyard of your grandfather's abandoned house. Come with me tomorrow and put them in your secret garden. Nowhere is safer than there. Your father's rivals have been keeping a close eye on our family these past two years. Those things might bring us a fatal disaster someday! Your father and I would sneak in late at night to bring back some of them. This is all we've brought back this year!"
Xia Wanyang closed the box and put it back in the closet, locking it up. "Mom, keep these for home use. We'll go there quietly in the middle of the night and hide some at home. Leave the rest with me!"
Seeing her daughter's serious expression, Xia's mother nodded in agreement.
At night, Xia's mother asked to sleep with her daughter on the pretext that she had to go to the countryside. In the middle of the night, the mother and daughter rode their bicycles to the grandfather's house. After digging for half an hour, they finally found a box. Xia's mother wiped her sweat and whispered, "Your father is very strong and can dig it out in ten minutes. If we want to take everything away, how long will it take us to dig?"
Xia Wanyang thought about it, jumped into the pit and put his hands on the ground. Thinking of 007's ridicule, he said to himself, "Stop!" Then the corners of his mouth curled up.
Mother Xia pulled her up, and the mother and daughter appeared in the space together.
Looking at the more than one hundred large boxes on the ground, Xia's mother laughed so hard that she fell backwards. "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have dug. I'm so tired!"
The two of them counted them and found more than 30 boxes of jewelry, 50 boxes of yellow croakers of various sizes, 20 boxes of antique calligraphy and paintings, and 28 boxes of RMB!
There are 300 rolls of RMB in a box, and each roll is 100 yuan. So one box is 30,000 yuan, and 28 boxes are 840,000 yuan!
The mother and daughter were stunned for a full ten minutes. At a time when a meat bun cost only 30 cents, what did 840,000 yuan mean?
"Mom, I understand the jewelry and gold, but how can your grandmother, a princess from the late Qing Dynasty, have so much unity?"
Mother Xia burst out laughing, "Silly girl, this money was earned by your grandpa from selling things with a capitalist. That capitalist fled overseas a few years ago and couldn't take so much money with him. So he found your grandpa by accident and bought some calligraphy and paintings and took them away!"
Xia Wanyang sighed with regret, "So many treasures have been leaked out!"
"Okay, this is not your concern. I tell you, you can't show this money to others. If others know, our whole family will be sent down to live with the cows!" Knowing that only her daughter can enter this space, Xia's mother didn't hide anything when she spoke!
"Tsk, you're not afraid that I'll be greedy and not give it to you, are you, Mom~"
The last word was drawn out, and Xia's mother slapped her on the butt, "You conscienceless little ungrateful bastard, you are my life, I put you here to give to you!"
Hearing this, Xia Wanyang burst into tears, "Mom, I'm sorry in my previous life. It was because I didn't listen to you and Dad that you ended up like that..."
Mother Xia wiped her tears and said, "Good girl, there's no need to say sorry. Mom doesn't remember anything from the past life. Just be obedient in this life!"
Xia Wanyang was stunned. "If I really meet Zhang Shiye when I go to the countryside this time, will you agree that we are together? He is the youngest son of the village chief, but no matter what, he is a farmer. Can you accept him?"
"I can't accept a man who would die for you, so what kind of man would I want to accept? My daughter, it's already very difficult to meet a like-minded partner. How regrettable would it be if you missed each other because of a slight difference in your thoughts? In the last life you mentioned, you missed each other in the end. For twenty years, you thought about him every day. How painful would that be? I won't let my precious daughter live in regret for two lifetimes. If you can meet him again in this life, mom will definitely bless you!"
While Xia Wanyang felt relieved, she was also moved to tears by her mother's words.
Mother Xia consoled her for a long time before Xia Wanyang burst into laughter. "Okay, let's go back quickly. I'm so sleepy!"
When the mother and daughter returned home, it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night. They were so tired that they lay down and fell asleep immediately!
The next day, when Xia Wanyang woke up, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. When she left the room, her mother was cooking in the kitchen. The kitchen was filled with pots of food, including pork and sauerkraut noodles, fried shredded potatoes, pickled cabbage, and round dumplings.
Mother Xia kept moving her hands, "Hey, little lazy pig, are you awake? Do you have a lot of lunch boxes in your warehouse? Take them out quickly, fill them with vegetables and put them away. I plan to make more for you these few days, but meat is hard to buy due to the purchase restrictions. Take some out. You can't cook raw meat, and it's not safe to eat meat all the time if you ask others to cook. You can just eat from the big pot, and when you're hungry, just find a chance to eat in the secret garden!"
Xia Wanyang hugged her mother from behind, "Mom, you are so good to me, I am so happy!"
"Hey, stop being sentimental, hurry up and get the meat! I said I would take you out to buy food at noon, so your sister-in-law and sister-in-law can eat in the company cafeteria. There are less than seven hours left before they get off work in the evening, so I can cook ten more dishes!"
Xia Wanyang regretted it so much. Why didn't she think of asking her mother to make more food for herself? Yesterday, she actually spent more than 60 yuan to buy food. Her heart ached!
In the afternoon, Xia's mother made chicken stewed with mushrooms, braised pork, fried meatballs, fried prawns, and shredded pork with fish flavor.
One pot of food can fill eight lunch boxes, and they are still full. If Xia's mother cooks for a few more days, it will probably be enough for her to eat for a year!
