The others didn't know why Shen Xingmian was acting this way, but Shen Yunting did, since they had witnessed those scenes together.
Hmm, even now when I think about it, it still feels a little embarrassing.
The reason my daughter is acting this way is probably because she thinks the bed is dirty, but how could such good wood get dirty? It's impossible.
She walked to her daughter's side, coughed lightly, and whispered in her ear:
"Do you want Mom to help you wipe it? It's so cold, your hands are freezing."
Although Mom doesn't think they're dirty, if you find them unpleasant, we can sell them and buy new ones.
Shen Xingmian stopped what she was doing, thought about it seriously for a moment, and finally shook her head and said, "Mother, no need. The person is not a good person, but the wood is good wood. It would be a pity to sell it like this."
Besides, we need it tonight. Even if we find a carpenter to make one now, it will be a long time before it's finished.
Let's just disinfect them and keep them; they're all quite nice.
Shen Xingmian knew that her mother had come specifically to comfort her, so she took the opportunity to let it go.
We shouldn't let people's problems affect objects.
The only good thing about the house being emptied was that it was very easy to clean. My eldest uncle was in charge of sweeping the roof and walls, and after that, he cleaned up all the trash on the floor. The others would wipe the dust with wet cloths.
After finishing one room, Shen Xingmian started setting up another.
Fortunately, the rooms had been assigned in advance, so she could directly ask the room owners for their opinions, striving to ensure that everyone could stay comfortably and happily in this temporary little home.
If we hadn't entered the city at noon, it would probably have been dark by the time they finished settling in.
No one came looking for them until evening, not even one of Shen Zhiheng's former subordinates.
Knowing they would definitely face many difficulties, Shen Zhiheng didn't care and planned to take his eldest son to the military camp the next day to see who had taken over the area.
The first meal after moving into a new home can't be rushed. Fortunately, Mu Zhizhi always keeps food supplies on hand in the RV, so she can prepare a table full of dishes without having to go to the kitchen.
Shen Xingmian set out a rotating round table, which she had originally collected as scrap.
Because she has always lived alone, she has no need for this kind of table.
She wouldn't have wanted this if there weren't so many empty spaces in her room; she never expected it to come in handy now.
Moreover, if those ancient people outside saw that piece of glass, they would definitely regard it as an extraordinary luxury item.
After all, the glass here is more expensive than crystal and jade.
Using such an expensive treasure as a tabletop is so extravagant, it feels like using a rare ancient painting to wipe your bottom in modern times – a complete waste.
After thinking it over, she finally replaced the glass; their values were being shattered. Who knows what outsiders would say about their extravagant lifestyle?
Let's forget about it.
She herself didn't care, but she couldn't let her grandfather and uncle's image, built up over so many years, be ruined by such trivial matters.
Thinking about it that way, those beds aren't really suitable either, but since they're all in the room and no one can see them, it's not a big problem.
After deciding on the dishes with everyone, she started to put them in bowls and set them out one by one.
Yes, there are so many people in the family that plates are never enough; we have to use bowls. As my aunt's cooking skills have improved, it seems that the amount of food consumed at each meal has also increased.
Fortunately, everyone practices martial arts whenever they have free time, so no one seems to be gaining weight.
Shen Xingmian really enjoyed the feeling of feeding her family well. Now that they had finally arrived at their base camp, she needed to study and develop the planting and breeding industries.
Only by ensuring that everyone here is well-fed and clothed will we win the hearts and minds of the people.
This place is too desolate, but if food, clothing, and shelter are all taken care of, and there is no need to worry about freezing or starving to death in winter, then this so-called "bitter and cold place" is nothing to be afraid of.
Just like the modern-day "Snow Town," which has become a popular tourist destination for many people.
Waves of tourists complain about being ripped off, but waves of tourists still flock to the area.
If they can be both affordable and reasonably priced, they might attract talented people to work for them in the future.
Thinking about it, the future still looks promising!
One hot pot after another was served, including a Northeastern specialty of braised pork belly with sauerkraut and blood sausage, along with frozen tofu and glass noodles. The pot was full of food, and an alcohol stove underneath kept it hot, bubbling and steaming.
Other dishes include Great Harvest, Three Treasures of the Earth, Chicken Stew with Mushrooms, Sweet and Sour Pork, Braised Pork Slices, Squirrel Fish, and a dessert called Candied Sweet Potatoes.
There were eight dishes in total, filling the entire large table and creating a festive atmosphere.
Shen Xingmian also brought out several kinds of juice, including wheat juice, sorghum juice, grape juice, and juice that is actually suitable for children to drink.
They brought out a set of particularly beautiful glacier-patterned glasses. After pouring juice into them, they looked absolutely gorgeous, and everyone couldn't help but admire and play with them.
"Such a beautiful cup, even the emperor in the palace probably never used one." Shen Zhiheng picked up the cup and examined it carefully in the light.
"It's so pretty, little sister. Can I keep one for my room? If it's really valuable, I don't need it. It would be such a waste if it got broken by accident."
Shen Xingyan's eyes were full of affection, but she was also very sensible and didn't force the issue. Shen Xingmian liked this sensible attitude very much.
Her older cousin is such a lovely girl.
"Of course you can! There are plenty of these. Even if you accidentally drop one, it's okay. Just tell me, and I'll get you another one."
She doesn't mind being nicer to sensible children.
"I want a little sister too. She's so pretty, if I could use her to drink water, I could drink more every day, haha."
Shen Xingmian couldn't agree more with her cousin's words. She was exactly that kind of person; if the cup was ugly, she wouldn't even think of drinking water unless she was extremely thirsty.
But if I buy a new, pretty cup, I'd want to drink from it twenty times a day.
So she smiled and nodded: "That's right, the weather here is very dry, so if everyone likes it, they should take it back to their rooms and drink more hot water."
Hearing her say that everyone could take it back, Mu Zhizhi was also delighted.
She had thought it was okay for the children to say they liked something, but she was a grown woman and couldn't possibly say such a thing. But Mianmian was so thoughtful.
The family was very happy, but then Shen Xingmian said, "However, this kind of cup doesn't keep the water warm. It's okay to use in the summer, but the water will be too cold in the winter. I'll find everyone a thermos cup so that even if you're thirsty in the middle of the night, you can still drink hot water."
Oh dear, she's such an idiot. Why did it take her so long to think of this? It's all because she's always been too fond of cold things and never thought of drinking hot water.
It's freezing cold here. If I woke up in the middle of the night, wouldn't it be so nice to be able to drink hot water right away?
However, if a heated kang (a traditional heated platform bed) has been set up, then it shouldn't be necessary; you might even need to drink some cold water to cool down.
