The whole family traveled through ancient times with their house

Chapter 123 I dare not refuse the elder’s gift

Jiang Yan pushed open the second-floor entrance door. The layout of the two houses was identical, except that the furniture in the second-floor living room was antique-style solid wood furniture. It looked magnificent and much more expensive than their own house, and it was obvious that they were from a wealthy family.

Jiang Yan didn't look at it for long, just took a quick glance and went to the kitchen. The kitchen was fully equipped with all kinds of kitchen utensils, including pots, pans, and utensils.

Jiang Yan habitually opened the cabinet at the bottom, and sure enough, it was similar to their house, with rice and flour in it as well.

Looking at the bag of paddy rice that had not been opened yet, Jiang Yan smiled.

She looked at the condiment boxes again; they were all full, more complete than what they had at home.

Jiang Yan said silently: "That's great."

Jiang Yan opened the most conspicuous double-door refrigerator in the kitchen and looked at the food filled inside. She wanted to ask the old couple who were traveling again.

"You two old people are out having fun, do you have any plan for these ingredients? Otherwise, our family will eat them for you!"

Jiang Yan thought this was a good idea, so she caught six roe-filled hairy crabs and went downstairs.

After washing and steaming, Yichen was picked up by her mother while she was half asleep. When she smelled the familiar smell, she opened her eyes without anyone saying anything.

Looking at the colorful crab shell and tempting crab paste, Yichen's saliva flowed unrestrainedly in her mouth.

"Mom, where do these crabs come from?"

Jiang Yan was peeling crab meat for Ye Zhan to eat, and she pointed at it in the midst of her busy schedule.

"Grandma Qian's house upstairs?"

"Ah."

"Wow~"

"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good if it gets cold."

"Ah."

"Dip it in ginger vinegar."

"Mom~" Yichen didn't like the taste of ginger vinegar, so she acted coquettishly to her mother.

"It has to be dipped in ginger vinegar." Jiang Yan thought of those requisite clichés from ancient Chinese novels, where women are always accused of having a cold. She had to take precautions; neither she nor her daughter could avoid a cold.

"Dad~" Yichen wanted to call for help.

Ye Zhan and his wife were in the same group. He was enjoying being fed by his wife and gave his daughter an obedient look.

Yichen dipped a little ginger vinegar pitifully, then muttered in an even more pitiful tone: "My parents are in true love, the child is an accident, and poor Ye Yichen was given as a gift for topping up my phone bill."

"Your father is now called Jiang Zhan, so you can only call him Jiang Yichen."

Yichen: It was useless to pretend to be pitiful. But it didn't matter, she could turn her grief and anger into appetite and eat both crabs.

While eating breakfast, Changsheng and Jiulang kept moving closer to Yichen.

Changsheng sniffed. He liked the smell of his aunt very much, but he couldn't say those words.

Jiulang would say, "Sister Chenchen smells very nice."

It was embarrassing. Yichen remembered that she didn't seem to take a shower after eating crabs. Who knew there were two naughty kids with dog noses at home.

What to do! Yichen looked at her mother.

Jiang Yan gave her daughter a look that said this was easy to handle, then picked up Changsheng. She softly nagged to Changsheng, "Did our Changsheng miss something delicious?"

Although Changsheng is small, he knows what delicious food is. He immediately nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"Oh, then we have to make something delicious for Changsheng today."

"Yeah." Changsheng nodded his little head even more vigorously.

Jiulang also looked at his aunt eagerly, waiting for her to tell him about some delicious food.

Jiang Yan did not disappoint the children. She put Changsheng back into Zhang's arms and said, "I'll go and prepare the mutton. We'll make dumplings with mutton and scallions tonight."

When they heard their aunt (mother) talking about making dumplings with mutton filling, several children followed Jiang Yan to the yard.

They all knew that there were a lot of meat buried under the largest snow pile in the yard.

There were many people in the family, and Jiang Yan was afraid that if she took less, there would not be enough to eat, so she picked up five pieces of mutton and put them in the basin, and then buried them in the snow.

When Mrs. Ye heard Jiang Yan say that she wanted to make dumplings stuffed with mutton, she went to the kitchen. Now when she saw Jiang Yan bringing back so much mutton, she felt a little distressed.

"Chenchen's mother, you took too much mutton, it must be seven or eight kilograms."

"We have a big family, and since we've already said we're going to make dumplings, let the children have a delicious meal."

"You are a kind-hearted child."

Jiang Yandao didn't think she was good or bad, she just felt that this family had good character and was worth associating with.

Another point is that she cares a lot about her daughter and Ye Zhan's feelings. Although her family has not openly acknowledged their relationship with the Ye family, she can also feel that her father and daughter do not reject the Ye family at all.

Also, she felt that she had a good relationship with the women and children in this family.

If she is not in a good mood, she will not bear to eat a single bite of her food.

...

At night, everything is silent.

Jiang Yan was just about to carry Ye Zhan back home when she heard someone knocking on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Chenchen's mother, it's me."

Jiang Yan recognized the voice as that of the old lady of the Ye family, so she put Ye Zhan back on the kang and went downstairs to open the door.

Old Mrs. Ye's attitude tonight was surprisingly good. She pulled Jiang Yan back to sit on the kang, and placed a small cloth bag in her hand next to Jiang Yan who was sitting across the kang table.

"this?"

"This is for you, open it and take a look."

Jiang Yan glanced at Ye Zhan, and when she saw him nod, she opened the cloth bag.

But when she saw clearly what was in the cloth bag, she was a little stunned.

"Old man, this thing is too valuable. I can't accept it."

It turned out that the cloth bag contained a pair of jade bracelets with excellent water content, a jade pendant, and a longevity lock.

This wasn't the end of it. Beneath these things lay a stack of silver notes, each worth one hundred taels, and there were probably ten of them.

When Mrs. Ye saw Jiang Yan trying to push the cloth bag back to her, she quickly reached out to stop her.

"Mother Chenchen, please listen to what this old woman has to say."

Jiang Yan nodded and motioned for the old lady to continue.

"You also know that our house was ransacked. After the ransacking, there aren't many good things we can take out."

"Then you should keep these things for yourself."

"Chenchen's mother, please listen to what this old woman has to say first, and then you can decide whether to accept it or not."

"Okay, go ahead."

"This pair of jade bracelets was my wife's dowry. Before the incident, my brother from my mother's family brought out my wife's dowry, your sisters-in-law's dowries, and most of our family's wealth. But for safety reasons, most of those things are still in the northwest."

Jiang Yan nodded. This was correct. The Ye family's headquarters was in the northwest, so it was very likely that the Ye family would return.

"After we arrived here, my brother from my mother's family sent some money and property to us, so that we can live better here."

Jiang Yan nodded secretly. The old lady's brother was a pretty good person.

"From all the jewelry sent over, I chose these three items as a gift for you."

“Old man…”

"Chenchen's mother, this is a meeting gift. You can't refuse a gift from an elder."
