Chapter 222: The Power of the House
It is not easy for a guest to visit the host's home, but it is different for the host, who can see whatever he wants.
Therefore, after the captain's uncle helped move all the things into the house and said goodbye and left, Yi Chichi, under the guidance of Wen's mother, began to take a comprehensive tour of the Wen family.
It would have been fine if she hadn’t visited the house, but once she did, she realized that the Wen family’s house was really spacious.
There were clearly only mother and son at home. After Wen Shi joined the army, only his mother was at home, but the Wen family had five rooms.
One of them was used as a storage room, where food and other miscellaneous items were stored.
The seafood and other things that were sent back before were all kept there and not distributed.
In addition, there are tools such as rattan baskets and woodworking tools.
Seeing the carpentry tools, Yi Chichi wondered, "Why is there this at home?"
"At that time, Wen Shi suddenly wanted to learn carpentry, so I prepared a set for him. However, he signed up for the army not long after he started learning, and the set of tools became a decoration."
When talking about Wen, Wen's mother's eyes were full of tenderness.
"Come on, I'll show you the room. There's nothing to see in the utility room."
"good."
Yi Chichi's room was Wen Shi's original room. Wen's mother had specially tidied it up. The walls were painted white, the curtains were replaced with new ones, and even the kang, cabinet and wardrobe were replaced with new ones.
In addition, Wen's mother also bought her a multifunctional shelf similar to a display cabinet.
Below the shelf is a cabinet with double doors. There is a lot of space inside and there are grids on top.
The grids come in different sizes, and books, paper, pens, and other small items can be placed on them.
The quilts, quilt covers and other items on the kang are also new.
It was a bright red satin fabric with embroidery, which looked extremely high-end. There was also a bright red blanket against the wall.
Touch it with your hand and it feels thick and soft.
Yi Chichi turned to look at Wen's mother, "Mom, you spent a lot of money on these things, didn't you?!"
“That’s not important.”
Mother Wen waved her hands and said disapprovingly, "I can't treat you badly when the new daughter-in-law comes home."
What's more, after getting the marriage certificate, the bad boy in her family seemed to be afraid that she would treat his daughter-in-law badly, and he didn't mind wasting money at all and sent her a long telegram with content.
There was no punctuation, which made her exhausted from breaking sentences.
"By the way, since you've married into our family, our family will belong to you from now on."
Before she finished her words, Wen's mother reached under the pillow, pulled out a small package and handed it to her.
"Here, this is all the family's belongings."
Yi Chichi reached out to take it, opened it and looked inside. There was a stack of money and bills. In addition, she bent down and touched the edge of the kang, and took out a wooden box and handed it to her.
"This is the heirloom that the Wen family gave to their daughter-in-law. I'm giving it to you today."
Yi Chichi,...is she too efficient as a mother-in-law?
She just arrived and was asked to hand over her family background and stuff. How could she say she liked it?
It was not that she was greedy for the Wen family's money, but that Wen's mother's attitude made her feel comfortable.
"Mom, can I open it and take a look?"
"Open it. It's yours. Look at it however you want."
Wen's mother smiled and urged her to open it.
Then, Yi Chichi saw what was in the wooden box.
A pair of mutton-fat white jade bracelets, an exquisitely crafted gold hairpin inlaid with jewels, and a string of oriental pearl bracelets.
In the original world, Yi Chichi comes from a wealthy family and has some knowledge of antiques.
The level is not as good as that of professionals, but it is better than most amateurs.
There's nothing she can do about it, since her third uncle is in this line of work.
It’s hard not to understand after being influenced by it.
Therefore, at a glance, she knew that these three items were from the imperial court.
I picked it up and took a look, and sure enough, it was made in Ouchi.
Suddenly, the look she gave Wen's mother became strange.
"What's the matter?"
Noticing that her gaze was not right, Wen's mother raised her eyes and looked over with a suspicious look.
Yi Chichi took a deep breath. Her mother-in-law's identity was probably not simple.
"Mom, do you know where these things come from?"
Wen's mother understood and saw through it.
She smiled and said, "It's a Wen family heirloom, so you can keep it with confidence. But the environment is not good now, so I can't wear it. I'll hide it for now, and you can wear it when the environment gets better."
Yi Chi Chi, who had originally intended to hide it, put the things away and closed the lid, then handed the box to Wen's mother, "Mom, hide it for me first, and give it to me when I can wear it later."
"……OK."
This girl is smart, and most importantly, she has a broad vision and a positive heart.
That was enough for her.
As a mother-in-law, I am not afraid of meeting a smart daughter-in-law, but I am afraid of meeting a stupid daughter-in-law.
So, Wen's mother hid the wooden box again.
In the following time, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sorted out and arranged the things they had packed before going to visit the remaining rooms and yards again.
The Wen family’s yard is quite large and the walls are quite high.
Wen's mother opened a vegetable garden. Now is the season when fruits and vegetables grow, and the harvest is bountiful.
There are also two pear trees and a peach tree. The pear tree is full of fruits, but there is nothing on the peach tree except leaves and insects.
There were several straw mats spread out in the yard, on which dried goods such as dried beans, black fungus, dried eggplants, dried sweet potatoes, and peppers were hung to dry.
"When the new wheat comes down, Mom will make you wheat paste."
"Is it tasty?"
Yi Chizhi had never eaten wheat paste, so he became interested after hearing the sound.
Mother Wen thought for a moment and said, "I don't know if you like it or not, but Wen Shi and I both like it."
At this point, she added, "It's spicy, can you eat it?"
"able."
This is amazing! She can accept spicy, hot, spicy and refreshing flavors, but she can't accept sweet and spicy flavors.
"There's something left to eat. It's time to eat. Try it first."
"OK."
As a result, Yi Chichi ate too much for dinner. Wen's mother's cooking skills were excellent, no worse than Wu Yongfei's.
Wu Yongfei's good cooking skills are due to her training, while Wen's mother relies purely on her own skills. Whether it is the delicious and fragrant braised chicken or the three fresh vegetables, the taste is absolutely amazing.
Wheat paste is also delicious, refreshing and appetizing. After taking a bite, Yi Chizhi was overwhelmed and said to Wen's mother, "Mom, can we have noodles tomorrow morning? Mix it with wheat paste."
"Okay, Mom will do it for you."
After knowing that Yi Chichi wanted to do embroidery and had reached a cooperation with Friendship Store, Wen's mother no longer expected her to do housework.
Even if Yi Chizhi wanted to do it, she would refuse.
There's nothing to be done, since the brat had repeatedly warned her not to let his wife get her hands rough by doing housework.
"Thank you, Mom."
"You're welcome."
Seeing her put down the bowl and chopsticks, Wen's mother quickly cleaned up and asked, "Are you going to go to the old man's place after it's completely dark, or are you going now?"
"Go after dark."
You can bring some more things with you.
"Do you want mom to accompany you?"
"Sure, it's good to get to know each other."
Mother Wen paused while washing the dishes, "Actually, we already know each other."
"ah?"
"I became friends with Sister Song."
Yi Chichi was silent for two seconds, "Mom, the generation is wrong."
"I call Old Lady Song grandma. She is from the same generation as my great uncle and his family."
Wen Mu, ...you have grasped the key point very well.
