"Hey, I just want you to have hot water at all times." Kang Mingyuan praised his own cleverness. "Come in quickly, the water gets cold quickly in this weather."
Qiao Mo locked the door and stepped into the bathtub. She sat cross-legged in it and practiced the "Herbal Secret", absorbing the wood energy ions in the air and refining them into her own superpowers. At the same time, she also used her superpowers to repair the wounds on her body. Twenty minutes later, the wounds on her body had been completely healed, and she finished practicing when the water had become a little cold and walked out of the bathtub.
At this time, Kang Mingyuan had already prepared breakfast. He didn't do anything else but steamed a few meat buns, boiled two eggs, fried some sauerkraut, made some cold kelp salad, and took out two bowls of millet porridge from the storage bead. That was all he needed.
After breakfast, the two of them went home with a bag of gifts.
The old house of the Kang family is actually a large courtyard consisting of several houses. The house in the front is a two-story building with 10 rooms. It is the residence of the two elders of the Kang family and Kang Weiguo, the eldest uncle of the Kang family. After the two elders pass away, the house will be inherited by Kang Weiguo.
Behind the house there are two three-room two-story buildings, which are the residences of Kang Erbo Kang Weijun and Kang Fu Weimin respectively. They were inherited by them respectively after the two elders passed away. However, they had two sons and three sons respectively, and the three houses were a bit crowded. After obtaining the consent of the two elders and Kang Weiguo, they spent their own money to build two wing rooms on the east and west sides of their own house, and divided the house among their sons according to the rules of the Kang family.
Kang Weimin has three sons. He and his eldest son Kang Zhiyuan live in the main house. He lives in the east house, Kang Zhiyuan's family lives in the west house, Kang Wenyuan lives in the east wing, and Kang Mingyuan lives in the west wing. Kang Mingyuan does not plan to live in the old house for a long time. He only renovated one room. Because the depth is quite long, he also divided the room into two rooms like his other brothers, forming a small suite. As for the other room, he plans to wait until he has children in the future.
At the back of the yard, next to the wall, there is a row of bungalows, which used to be the residence of the servants. Now, except for a few rooms for storing sundries, the rest are all empty.
"Did you build your old house yourself?" Qiao Mo always felt that this structure was a bit weird, so he asked.
"Yes, my grandfather built it. This piece of land was passed down from our ancestors. It used to be a courtyard similar to the Suzhou Gardens. But later, my great-grandfather sold most of the family property to raise money to support the revolution."
"After the founding of the New China, the remaining properties were handed over, and the family's finances became less affluent. The house also fell into disrepair due to years of neglect. My grandfather, thinking of his three sons, simply demolished the original house and rebuilt it," Kang Mingyuan explained.
"I see." Qiao Mo nodded. She didn't expect that the Kang family was a local resident of Donghai. She originally thought that the Kang family had taken root here because of Mr. Kang's work here.
At this time, the Kang family was already sitting in the main hall. After Kang Mingyuan and Qiao Mo arrived, Mrs. Kang asked them to serve tea.
Qiao Mo took the tea from Wang Meilan's hand, offered it to Kang Weimin and Ji Ying respectively, and changed his words to call them "Dad, Mom".
The two men each gave her a red envelope, which was the so-called fee for changing her words and a meeting gift. However, one of them was smiling while the other had a long face, as if someone owed her 18 million.
But these had no effect on Qiao Mo. She calmly presented her gift and then offered tea to the old man and the old lady.
"Grandpa, grandma, please have some tea."
"Hey." Both Mr. and Mrs. Kang were smiling. The old lady said meaningfully, "Just live your life with Mingyuan and study hard. Don't meddle in other things."
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, we will." Qiao Mo also replied with a smile and presented his gift, "Grandpa, Grandma, this is a small gift from me, please don't despise it."
"We like any gift from our granddaughter-in-law, no matter what it is." The two old people happily accepted the gifts.
