The surroundings were completely dark, because in the depths of the woods, not even a trace of moonlight could penetrate. Standing at the entrance of the cave, Shen An Ning looked around, not knowing where he was at all.
Using a flashlight to confirm the direction, Shen Anning walked out of the woods first. When she reached the road, she realized that she was already some distance away from the commune. She planned to ride her electric donkey to the town first and then go to the village, otherwise she would not be able to find the way.
I hurried home and it was already past two o'clock. I opened the gate and bolted it. The twins were sleeping soundly and didn't hear any movement. I quickly went into the house, took off my clothes, got on the kang and went into the space.
Shen Zixi had been in there for more than six hours and had already woken up. She was walking along the guardrail of the bed. The plush toys on the bed were thrown everywhere by her. She washed her hands, changed her clothes, picked up the little man and went to the kitchen to make half a bowl of rice noodles.
"Come on, don't be angry, Xixi baby, we can eat now."
"Ah, ah, naughty girl"
"Hahahaha, auntie was really wrong. I promise not to do this next time, okay?" Shen Anning was really amused to death by the little guy. The older he got, the more clever he became.
In order to appease the little guy, Shen Anning turned on the TV in the bedroom and put a little carp looking for its mother. It happened that she could lie on the fence and looked at the distance between the fence and the TV. Well, it was about three meters.
She kissed the little girl's cheek and said, "Xixi, watch TV for a while. Auntie will come over and hug you later."
“Ah,” Shen Anning, who was dismissed with just one word, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
After settling Shen Zixi, Shen Anning was excited and walked at a devilish pace to the small street to see the things that had just been collected. There were so many boxes, she was really going to make a fortune.
After finding the tools in the grocery store, Shen An Ning looked carefully and found that not every box had a lock. According to the location where she put the boxes, except for the two rows of boxes near the wall behind the secret room, there should be no locks on the other boxes. Some of the locks were just hanging. Shen An Ning guessed that the Niu family might have put the things away in an emergency, so they didn't do it properly. After looking at it, she decided to open the ones without locks first.
He first opened the boxes closest to him. Inside were cloths wrapped in papers of different colors. They were well preserved and looked like they were produced in recent years. Shen An Ning touched them and found that they were made of the finest silk and brocade. You should know that brocade was used by ancient emperors to make dragon robes. Although there was only one box, it was not difficult to see the status that the Niu family had in the context of that era.
A box of brocade and four boxes of silk. Shen Anning put these in the upstairs of the clothing store, and they could be used to make clothes for her family in the future.
Continue unboxing.
There were two boxes of ancient books, both wrapped in oil paper. Many of them were unique pieces, and there were also many medical books, medicinal foods and recipes. These were all treasures. Shen An Ning put them directly in the study in the courtyard. The paper had turned yellow and looked quite old. When she had time in the future, she would copy them down again.
Continuing to walk further, there are two boxes of silver dollars and two boxes of coins that were circulated more than ten years ago. However, these coins are no longer usable now and can only be kept as a souvenir.
There was also a box of land deeds and house deeds, some of which were before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and some after the founding of the People's Republic of China. Shen Anning flipped through them. The most recent ones were from ten years ago, in Liao Province, shops and residences in Beijing, and several were courtyard houses and shops near Shichahai. Shen Anning was not a descendant of the Niu family, and after the reform in a few years, these properties would not be given to her. Shen Anning didn't want to either, so she put the three boxes except the silver dollar in the basement, and kept the silver dollar on the second floor.
There were also quite a lot of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, filling about twenty boxes. However, Shen An Ning was not very knowledgeable. Apart from the famous paintings, she knew nothing about the rest of the porcelain. She thought that with the status of the Niu family, there should be no fakes. She cleaned up a room in the bedroom on the second floor to store these antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and when there was a chance in the future, she could open a family museum.
There were eight boxes of large and small yellow croakers in total. When they were opened, Shen Anning's eyes were almost blinded. There was also a whole box of yellow croakers left to her by her grandparents in her previous life, but there were so many, it was too shocking.
The remaining twenty boxes were locked, and Shen An Ning simply cut the locks with pliers. Although it was a pity, she didn't know how to use wire to open the locks.
Shen An Ning opened all the remaining twenty boxes. Even though she had visited many museums, she still felt that what she saw was too incredible. Two of the boxes were filled with head ornaments, rubies, sapphires, and South Pearls, many of which looked like the kind that only ancient queens and concubines could use.
There are also two boxes of precious medicinal materials, including six ginseng roots, which are well preserved and look to be more than a hundred years old. There is also one that is estimated to be nearly a thousand years old. There are also many Ganoderma lucidum, deer antlers, musk, and Polygonum multiflorum, which all look to be old and very valuable.
The five boxes were filled with jewelry, hairpins, necklaces, and bracelets. Each one looked like it was painstakingly crafted by craftsmen, and the styles were exquisite, making it hard not to like them.
There were also six boxes filled with miscellaneous teacups, jade pendants, some small ornaments, and small things like finger rings. Shen An Ning put all the boxes into the room on the second floor.
After sorting out the things, according to the contents of the letter, these are just the tip of the iceberg of the Niu family's property. The branches left in the country have so much property. It is conceivable how much the Niu family took away when they went abroad.
Having obtained such a large fortune, Shen An Ning was almost too excited to sleep. She jumped into the house and found that Shen Zixi had fallen asleep. She changed her diaper and carried her out of the space. It was already half past four. Putting away her inner excitement, Shen An Ning closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep under the guidance of Shen Zixi.
At half past five in the morning, Shen Anyu and Shen Anxuan got up first to exercise. Nowadays, the children in the village exercise by climbing up the mountain to dig two baskets of wild vegetables before coming back to eat, so Shen Anning was not in a hurry. There was still a lot of food in the space breakfast shop. She often made it herself in the past year, so it was consumed slowly.
At six o'clock, Shen Anning got up, poured half a pot of spicy soup into the small pot, poured one-third of water into the large pot, put the steamer on after boiling, and took five vermicelli tofu buns and five meat buns from the breakfast shop.
Shen Anyu and Shen Anxuan were very happy when they came down from the mountain and saw Hu La Tang.
"Sister, please make spicy soup. I haven't had it in a long time and I almost forgot what it tastes like."
"Then drink more today. There are also buns. You can wrap two in oil paper and bring them to school to eat when you are hungry." Shen Anning knew that the twins consumed a lot of energy and were very hungry when they came back at noon every day.
