After the beginning of summer, Shen Anxuan returned to her original room to sleep. Now Shen Zixi was very restless when sleeping at night. She would sleep from the head of the kang to the end of the kang, and always liked to sleep on people. Because she was well-fed, she weighed about 17 or 18 kilograms at more than seven months old. Shen Anxuan, who had been pressed down, said that she really had no chance to enjoy this blessing.
Looking at the little aunt packing up and moving house, Shen Zixi was still a little confused. She grabbed Shen Anxuan's clothes and stopped her from leaving. "Ah, no, ah"
"You little fat boy, ah, you sleep on your aunt's head every day. Now it's okay, your aunt has to sleep by herself." Looking at Shen Zixi who was a little aggrieved, Shen An Ning poked her belly. She was too noisy.
Shen Anxuan kissed Zixi's little face, "Hahaha, Xixi, let's play together again when you grow up a little."
The little guy stared blankly at Shen Anxuan taking away all the clothes and water cups. He was very sad and lay on the quilt, refusing to move.
Shen Anning was really about to die of laughter, “Xixi, let’s go eat eggs, okay?”
"How about another helping of applesauce?"
"Um."
What, um, Shen An Ning was really about to be laughed to death by the little girl, why is she still um, how did she learn this.
I resigned myself to my fate and picked up the still unhappy little man. I went to the kitchen, took out an egg, added some water and stirred it, then put it in a pot with the apple and steamed it.
The egg custard tasted so fragrant that Shen Anning also added two drops of walnut oil sold in the supermarket.
After eating an egg, Shen Zixi became happy again. Now she sleeps for a short time during the day and can't stay still. She always likes to go to different places to see and explore. She puts the little one in a wooden cart, and Shen Anyu and Shen Anxuan take her around the village when they have no classes in the afternoon.
When going to bed at night, Shen Anning took Shen Zixi to the space to take a bath. She liked to go out and have fun, and there was straw in her hair.
Pour half of the water into the bathtub, put the child in and sit down, let her splash around by herself, and after washing her hair, the two of them take a bath in the bathtub together. The bathtub is big, and the little one likes to float in it, splashing from left to right.
After staying in the water for twenty minutes, Shen An Ning got up with little Xixi in her arms, wiped off the moisture, and put the little guy on the bed. Now the bed in the bedroom was blocked by a fence, so no matter how Shen Zixi moved around, he would not fall to the ground.
After coaxing Shen Zixi to sleep, Shen Anning took out the mahogany box he had taken from the scrap yard that day, filled a basin of water, and soaked the box in the water. Sure enough, there were bubbles. He carefully opened the box along the gap with a knife. In the interlayer was a letter wrapped in oil paper and a strange-looking key. Shen Anning opened the letter.
It turns out that the Niu family, the richest family in Liaoning Province during the Republic of China, was originally from Fangshan Commune, and their business spread all over the country. However, due to various reasons, the Niu family fell into decline in the past few decades, and most of the remaining descendants went abroad with a large amount of family wealth. Only a few elderly Niu family members remained in the country. They died during the great famine a few years ago, and their family’s retreat in Heishan County was buried in the ancestral home in the town. They also used a mahogany box to hide their whereabouts. This trick was very successful. When their house was searched a few years ago, there was no big gain. The things that were visible were taken away, but the things hidden secretly were not found even after digging three feet into the ground.
Shen Anning had to admire the Niu family. Those who were left in the country should not be the direct descendants, but even the people from the side branches were so thoughtful. They were worthy of being the richest family at that time!
But he was a little surprised. He had been in the town for such a long time, but he seemed to have never heard of the Niu family's ancestral home. He didn't know what the current situation was. Shen An Ning was a little curious. He put the letter and key away and planned to talk about it next time he went to the town hospital on duty.
The 16th was the day Shen An Ning went to the hospital on duty. In the morning, she helped several doctors deliver two babies, but she was exhausted. She was busy cheering them up, and her throat was dry from talking so much.
The hospital cafeteria provides meals at noon. I went to the cafeteria with Liu Jiaman to eat. We each had half a braised egg, stir-fried cabbage with bean curd, and stewed eggplant with small fish. Although the quantity was not much, it tasted good.
"Jiaman, do you know the Niu family in our commune?"
“Niu family, you are not asking about the famous landlord family, are you?” Liu Jiaman looked at the people around him and asked in Shen Anning's ear.
Ana Shen was a little surprised, "Well, what's wrong? Can't I ask? Is there something wrong with their family?"
"Not really. It's just that the Niu family used to have a very high reputation. Half of Heishan County is their ancestral property. We also have their old house in our town. Now it's where the Revolutionary Committee members work and live."
It turned out to be the Revolutionary Committee. It seemed that they had not given up yet. After all, the Niu family was once well-known throughout the country, and they naturally had a lot of wealth.
During the day, the place was full of people working, so it was unrealistic for Shen Anning to go there. After asking Liu Jiaman for her specific address, Shen Anning planned to visit her late at night.
Without further ado, it's tonight.
When I got home from get off work in the evening, the twins were not there. They should still be on the mountain. I took Shen Zixi out of the space first. The little guy had been very troubled that day. He was put in the fence by Shen An Ning and couldn't climb out.
"Okay, auntie knows I was wrong, so I'm letting you out now. Be good, and I'll give you pumpkin and eggs later." She put the little guy on a wooden cart, went into the kitchen, and prepared to cook dinner.
First, prepare Shen Zixi's pumpkin paste and egg custard, a serving of spinach scrambled eggs, hot and sour potato shreds, and pig's trotters stewed with soybeans. Considering that I haven't had soup for several days, I made a shrimp and seaweed soup. The staple food is two-grain steamed buns.
The family finished their meal early, and Shen An Ning took the child Zi Xi to prepare for bed. In order to stay alert, he went straight into the space and slept until he woke up naturally. When he came out again, it was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, when people were sleeping soundly. He got up carefully, opened the door, locked it from the outside, and rode his electric scooter directly to the town in a hurry. The Niu family's ancestral home was on the road leading to the county town, covering a large area and convenient transportation.
