With the help of moonlight, Yin Xiaoman discovered that the bundle of dried bamboo shoots that had disappeared before was now next to her pillow, and even the hemp rope that she had untied before remained in its original shape.
Her heart was pounding, and the fine grains, dried vegetables, and seasonings flashed before her eyes...
Without saying anything, she quickly said to herself, "Go to the warehouse!"
After the familiar dizziness, I finally appeared next to the previous shelf as I wished.
Suddenly, an overwhelming sense of ecstasy surged into my heart!
The feeling was even stronger than when she first found herself in the cabin where she lived.
Yin Xiaoman bent down, opened a rice bag, reached in and took out a handful of millet. He couldn't help but put it to his nose and took a deep breath.
Something that she had never cared about before, now made her smell a rich, mouth-watering aroma of rice.
Yin Xiaoman sighed with contentment.
I just wish I could have two more hands so I can hold all the rice, flour, grain, oil, and shelves in my arms!
With these treasures, she and her children will never lack food for a long time!
Although there is not much stock in this warehouse, it is only enough for the nobles in the palace to consume for two or three days.
But, if it's just them and their mother eating it sparingly, it will definitely be enough for a whole year.
What's more, they are about to join the army. There is no way Shen Qingyun would let them starve, right?
Thinking of this, Yin Xiaoman was so happy that she almost wanted to dance. She felt that such a day was so happy!
To be honest, she was actually satisfied to be able to travel to this world.
Except for the fact that the food was a little worse, Yin Xiaoman felt that everything else was better than her previous life.
In his previous life, although he had some savings, he had also made plans for his second half of life early on.
However, no matter how much she tried, she could not escape the fact that she was just an old maid who was expelled from the palace.
The 25-year-old palace maid has no relatives or friends. If she doesn't decide to find someone to live with, then she is destined to live out her life alone.
Even though all this was within Yin Xiaoman's expectations, she accepted this reality.
Who wants to live alone all their life when they have a family?
Now she has a home.
Although the two adopted children are not biological children, at least it can be seen that they are not bad people at heart.
Although she had never thought about who to rely on in the future, life was always more enjoyable with these two little ones by her side.
As for the Shen Qingyun whom I have never met——
I haven't even seen it, so how can I make any comments?
We’ll talk about it when the time comes.
Thinking of this man, Yin Xiaoman pursed her lips.
It is still unclear whether he can survive next year.
It’s all in vain to think so much now.
The long days of fear taught Yin Xiaoman never to worry about things that haven't happened yet.
Isn’t it great to live the present day well?
No matter how much resentment the original owner had about such a life, Yin Xiaoman was very satisfied with it.
Especially now—
She now had a warehouse full of treasures.
This time, Yin Xiaoman did not put everything back in its original place as he did before and take out what he needed.
Instead, they greedily took away as much rice, flour, grain and oil as they could use.
She could still vividly remember how she had requested to go to the imperial kitchen several times but failed. What if she failed again the next time she asked?
As this matter concerns the quality of future life, Yin Xiaoman thinks it is better to be cautious.
By the time I put the things where I had planned, it was almost daybreak.
This time, Yin Xiaoman did not let the two children sleep in, but woke them up early.
"I'm leaving in a few days, so today you can help me pack up the things at home and clean the room. We can't let the house look messy."
She said to the two little ones.
Dabao and Erniu had just returned from the army, and they did not have the same desire to go back as Yin Xiaoman.
But the little ones are still happy to do whatever their mother asks them to do.
So Yin Xiaoman assigned them tasks and asked Erniu to help her pack the clothes in the box, while Dabao was assigned to clean another room.
"Remember to clean the kang hole, don't let mice build nests in it, otherwise the kang will collapse later."
Before Dabao left, Yin Xiaoman gave him some specific instructions.
Dabao nodded and went to the yard to get a long wooden stick.
Then, just a few minutes after entering the room, he came running back with a thump.
As soon as he entered the room, he plopped down on the kang, grabbed Yin Xiaoman's feet and dragged her down with all his might.
At this moment, Yin Xiaoman was kneeling in front of the box to take out clothes. He was dragged without preparation. With a scream, he almost fell off the kang.
Seeing her brother like this, Erniu got angry and crawled over and slapped Dabao hard on the shoulder!
"Brother, you are so bad! Let me go!"
But Dabao seemed like he didn't hear anything at all. His eyes were shining and his face was red as if it was burning. He ignored his sister and pulled Yin Xiaoman's ankle down even harder.
He kept repeating one word over and over in his mouth: "Mother! Mother!"
"Alright, alright, let me go and I'll get down by myself."
Yin Xiaoman had a headache.
Of course she knew that Dabao had seen the things she had hidden before, which was why she skipped breakfast and forced the two of them to clean the house.
But she discovered it, she never thought that this kid could be so excited!
After rubbing his ankle which was almost dislocated by Dabao, Yin Xiaoman got off the kang.
Being pulled by the little fellow, he staggered to the opposite house.
Because the Yin family had a small population, the house they built was not big.
There is a main room in the middle, with a bedroom on the east and west sides, where the Yin couple and Xiaoman live respectively.
After moving back, the two children lived with Yin Xiaoman in her former bedroom, while the old couple's room remained empty, with only some rarely used things piled up randomly.
This was the room she asked Dabao to clean just now.
"Mother! Mother!"
After entering the house, Dabao finally let go of her hand, ran to the kang, pointed inside with his finger, his lips trembling with excitement.
This kid can actually speak much better now than before, but he still can't speak when he is nervous or too excited.
This time, Yin Xiaoman did not force him, but followed him.
Sure enough, the noodles and rice she put inside had been touched. In the dark kang hole, she could still see the shadow of the oil tank inside.
“Food!”
Erniu, who came over, saw this and screamed in surprise.
Before Yin Xiaoman could stop him, Dabao covered his mouth with his hand.
Pushing his sister aside, Dabao gave her a warning glare, then squatted next to Yin Xiaoman and started taking things out without being told.
"Grandpa, grandma put it there. Grandpa, grandma is so nice!"
He finally recovered and even spoke much more fluently.
"Yes, grandpa and grandma are so nice." Yin Xiaoman also sighed.
This statement is also true.
After all, when the original owner's parents were alive, they treated their only daughter like a treasure.
If it weren't for the merciless disease, the original owner's fate might not have been so miserable.
"Mother! Mother!"
After Dabao took out the things one by one, he suddenly started shouting again.
Yin Xiaoman collected her thoughts and saw that half of his arm was stuck in the hole of the kang. She didn't know what he was touching inside. She couldn't help but be a little surprised.
When she was putting things away last night, she put them all on the outside to make it easier for the little guy to find them.
"What are you touching?" she asked curiously.
"Box."
As Dabao spoke, he took out a box and held it in front of Yin Xiaoman.
The box was not big and was now covered with stove ash. It looked gray and you couldn't see its original color at all.
This was not put in by Yin Xiaoman, it must have been originally placed in the stove ash.
"Mom, there's a lock." Dabao frowned and pointed at an old brass lock hanging on the box.
Yin Xiaoman was stunned for a moment.
She subconsciously reached out and touched her neck.
At this moment, she was wearing a red rope around her neck, and at the bottom of the rope was tied a small square piece of wood.
In her memory, before the original owner's father died, he kept pointing at her red rope and wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.
This is what has always confused and regretted the original owner.
When Yin Xiaoman came here, the rope was still around the original owner's neck.
The rope has been worn for many years and its original color is hard to see.
When she saw the box, she instinctively felt that it might be related to the piece of wood, but she had no idea what it was.
Yin Xiaoman untied the red rope and looked it over from front to back, hoping to find a gap or something.
But after searching for a long time, I found nothing. The piece of wood was square and looked like a whole piece, and there didn't seem to be any layers between them.
She thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
While Yin Xiaoman was staring at the wood chips, Dabao and Erniu opened the food one by one, reached their hands in to touch them all, and looked at them with laughter like two fools.
Looking at the silly look of the little guy, Yin Xiaoman also became happy for some reason.
I didn't want to think about the box anymore for a moment.
Although he didn't know what was inside, Yin Xiaoman felt that if this thing was left outside, it would sooner or later become a disaster.
So while the children weren't paying attention, she quickly put the wooden box into her room in the palace and then breathed a sigh of relief.
For today's breakfast, Yin Xiaoman made scallion pancakes luxuriously.
They also cooked white rice porridge and a salted duck egg for each of the three people.
The little ones’ eyes almost popped out of their laps at such a sumptuous breakfast!
He didn't even raise his head while eating. Even Erniu, who usually talked all the time and was extremely curious about everything, didn't ask a single question about the box.
I really can't take care of it.
