Chapter 239 Unboxing
Li Huan went out and fetched a basin of water. When Li's mother saw it, she smiled. It seemed that she would have a grandson to hold again. When Cheng Qiao woke up, it was already dark. Li Huan came in with food and wanted to feed Cheng Qiao.
Cheng Qiao sat up, feeling something was wrong. She frowned slightly and disappeared in an instant. When she came out again, she was holding something in her hand and looking at Li Huan with squinted eyes.
Li Huan looked at the underwear in Cheng Qiao's hand and blushed. He was indeed a little impatient, but he was hungry. They hadn't been together for so many days and he missed her so much.
"Hmph, you sleep alone tonight."
"Wife, I'm sorry."
Unfortunately, Cheng Qiao had disappeared. Li Huan stomped his feet in regret, looking helpless. Fortunately, Cheng Qiao did not take little Cheng Li away this time, otherwise he would not know when his wife would come out.
After entering the space, Cheng Qiao went to the backyard to check it out first. The yellow soil slowly turned black due to her diligent watering, and the ginseng tree gradually regained its vitality.
The most important thing was the Qilin Resurrection Tree. Its head, which had been drooping, slowly raised up. Cheng Qiao poured a few buckets of well water on its Qilin head and roots. He promised with regret that next time he would not pull out all the resurrection grass, he would definitely not pull them all out.
The huge Qilin head of the Qilin Resurrection Tree tilted, as if it didn't believe in you at all, which made Cheng Qiao very embarrassed. Forget it, he would prove it to this spiritual tree with his actions in the future.
I went back to the grocery store, got something to eat, took a shower, and went to bed again. I slept very soundly and was not even woken up by little Chengli's crying outside.
When Cheng Qiao woke up, the house was quiet. Xuhui and Li Le went to study. Li's mother pushed Xuhui's grandmother to Ye Jun's house for acupuncture, and Li Huan must be busy working in the fields.
Cheng Qiao returned to the space and began to check the twenty-eight boxes she had collected. Several of them were filled with silks and satins, and there were even a few pieces of Yun brocade and Shu brocade.
A few more boxes were opened, revealing pillows woven with gold thread, mosquito nets made of light smoke, and shoes embroidered with pearls on the uppers. Cheng Qiao picked up the shoes and tried them on. They were too small, but she only wore size 36 shoes, which showed that her mother's feet were even smaller.
After opening a few more boxes, they found sets of bowls, plates and tea sets. These bowls and plates were not at all of the same grade as the coarse porcelain bowls in their homes, but were extremely delicate thin-bodied porcelain.
It couldn't be blue and white porcelain, Cheng Qiao carefully took out a bowl with a gold rim. It was so thin that she could even see her fingers through the bowl.
The boxes were opened one after another, revealing jade artifacts with blue dragon patterns, cloisonné ear stoves, and colorful lacquered and gold-painted birthday clocks with a group of immortals.
There were also boxes of gold, silver, jade and various kinds of jewelry and head ornaments. There was also a small box inside the box. When it was opened, it turned out to be a stack of land deeds.
Cheng Qiao sighed. Except for the capital city, there might be a chance to get these deeds back in the future. However, there was probably no chance to get them back for other places like Jinling, Huacheng, etc.
There were only a few boxes left, and Cheng Qiao had a premonition that she would see a great treasure. She opened them carefully, and found a thick layer of cotton wool inside. She pulled the cotton wool aside with great effort and took a look, and couldn't help but gasp.
There was a vase placed in the huge box, which was wrapped tightly. No matter how the box turned over, the vase would not be damaged.
Cheng Qiao knew that this vase should be a national treasure, but Cheng Qiao was ignorant and she really didn't know what era it was from.
A pair of vases should be worth the money, right? Cheng Qiao started to unpack the box again, but when she opened it, she found that it was actually a scroll of paintings. She counted them and found that there were ten scrolls in total, such as the Hundred Beauties, the Chang'e Hanging Painting, the Wang Xizhi Watching Geese, the Crossing the Bridge, the Willow Pavilion, etc.
When she opened it again, she found a box full of gold bars, gold melon seeds and gold leaves, separated by pieces of redwood boards. Cheng Qiao was already numb. The gold bars her father gave her were simply incomparable to the gold bars in the box.
There was only one box left. Cheng Qiao took a deep breath and opened it with force. He was almost shocked by what was inside the box. It turned out to be a phoenix crown.
Cheng Qiao shook her trembling hands and took out the phoenix coronet very carefully. She felt her arms tighten and estimated that the phoenix coronet must weigh at least ten pounds.
Cheng Qiao, who originally wanted to try it on, immediately gave up the idea. What a joke! Wearing such a heavy thing on her head would hurt her neck.
He closed all the lids and put the boxes into the warehouse with his mind. These things could not be taken out now, but in the future, he would slowly exchange them for money and use them to build his own business empire.
"Coincidentally, I'm back."
Li Huan's voice was heard outside, mixed with little Cheng Li's baby voice calling for his mother. Cheng Qiao flashed out of the space and saw Li Huan looking at him with sparkling eyes.
"Wife, let's not be angry anymore. You hold our son and I'll go cook."
"What does a man do to cook? I'll go."
Cheng Qiao was not really angry at all, she was just being pretentious. Li Huan quickly followed her. While his wife was cooking, he helped to light the fire. Even little Cheng Li learned how to throw firewood into the furnace.
Just after cooking a table full of food, Mother Li came back pushing Grandma Xuhui. Now Grandma Xuhui can eat in a wheelchair and no longer needs to be fed by Mother Li.
"Qiao, why do you cook so many dishes?"
When Grandma Xuhui saw the whole table of dishes, she couldn't help but feel distressed. There were old and young people in the family, and she was a disabled person. It was so wasteful. How hard it would be for Cheng Qiao and Huanzi.
"Grandma, don't worry. I go up the mountain often. This is a wild rabbit and this is a pheasant. They're all free. And these vegetables are also grown in our backyard."
Li Huan said with a smile, but Grandma Xuhui still felt reluctant. If she was not here, Huanzi's family would save a lot.
"Huanzi, I want to go back to my own home. I can move now and take care of myself."
"No, unless you can throw away your crutches and wheelchair, I won't let you go back. And why should you go back? This is your and Xuhui's home."
Li Huan deliberately said with a fierce face, which moved Grandma Xuhui to tears. Mother Li got angry and slapped Li Huan with her hand, saying, "Do you know how to speak? If not, then shut up."
"Mom, you murdered your own son, so I won't tell you that your eldest brother is getting married, just to piss you off."
“Puff…”
The soup in Cheng Qiao's mouth spat out. Li's mother was really excited. She grabbed Li Huan's ear and asked him loudly what he had just said.
Li Huan gently took away Li's mother's hand, and then said loudly and confidently: "I said, I won't tell you that my eldest brother is coming back to get married."
Mother Li: “…”
Xuhui's grandmother wiped away her tears and burst into laughter. She didn't want to go back. It was so warm and harmonious here, and Xuhui could study. How could she be so selfish and only think about herself?
