After Zhang Yuwan got up, she heard the sound of tinkling coming from downstairs. Master Tang came to her house on time every day to repair her treasures.

Mrs. Wu would clean the house early every morning and then go shopping for groceries. Usually, Zhang Yuwan would have already gotten up when she got home.

Mrs. Wu is Master Tang’s wife. She has been here for a while. She doesn’t talk much and her cooking is average, but she is very hardworking.

After Zhang Yuwan had tidied herself up, she was helped downstairs by Mrs. Wu. After she had breakfast, Mrs. Wu started to prepare lunch, and Zhang Yuwan began to fiddle with her green plants and bottles and jars.

After working for almost a month, more and more furniture in the house were repaired. These old furniture all had an oily luster, showing traces of history.

In his study, Song Changzhou filled a large peony vase with dead branches and some green plants he had picked up. He looked around, adjusted it, and turned to ask Zhang Yuwan, who was standing against the wall, "How is it?"

"Your skills have improved a lot! It looks very charming when displayed like this! He has to be my husband!" Zhang Yuwan gave a thumbs up and started to flatter him.

Song Changzhou took a step back, a smug look on his face, and watched carefully. The previously dusty furniture was sorted out a little bit every day, and then Zhang Yuwan began to build a study, bookshelves, tea corners, and display cabinets.

Every day when he returned home, his house was decorated with new scenery. From the simple layout at the beginning to every corner, it exuded elegance and refinement. Every detail was carefully crafted and ingeniously designed.

Old furniture carries a sense of time, quiet and profound, with a faint aroma of wood emanating from it.

She would place the old carved window lattices on the wall opposite the desk, which would create a scene and be used to post notes or paintings for appreciation without damaging the wall.

On the large desk was a pair of sturdy wooden branches with strange shapes that he had picked up. With some short wooden strips inserted, it has now become a unique pen holder. Zhang Yuwan used beautiful cups and saucers as pen washers and ink boxes, which looked unique and beautiful. A table lamp made from blue and white porcelain was placed in a corner, with a few commonly used books placed next to it.

On the bookshelf behind him were some military books and red books, as well as some vases as decorations.

There are three lanterns of different shapes placed next to the sofa in the living room. These lanterns were repaired by Zhang Yuwan himself, and they were also covered with white and yellow gold-sprinkled rice paper. Zhang Yuwan wrote the words "joy" and "free" on big red paper strips and pasted them on the lanterns, which made them festive and cute.

I also made a tea table using an old wooden door and an old bench. On it was an old pottery pot with ferns in it. The long stems and leaves stretched out naturally and elegantly, adding a touch of fresh natural atmosphere to the dark-toned tea table.

There were several teacups of different colors and an exquisite teapot on the tea table.

There were several cabinets of various shapes in the corners, where she kept all her favorite cups. There were a few vases on top to decorate the space.

There are the most green plants in my home. There are green plants everywhere in every room. There are many vases and flower pots in the house, and I can use them at will.

There are several large green plants placed in pots and covered with old bamboo frames, which look fresh and interesting. There are also several small potted plants placed on the incense table, which are of different heights and warm and pleasant.

This arrangement completely fueled Song Changzhou's creative inspiration and desire to get things done himself. He participated in planning the space every day. Every day when he passed by on his way home, he would pick up old frames, branches, or even some wild flowers that others had thrown away and take them home.

He was extremely pleased with the layout of the house. He had thought the hostess's home would be more feminine, but unexpectedly, this style greatly pleased him. Most of the furniture was simple, without many carvings. Zhang Yuwan said it was Song Dynasty style furniture, simple and elegant. It was much better than the furniture bought in the department store. For the first time, Song Changzhou felt that his wife was a great spender.

He thinks this kind of simplicity is quite good and very high-end. He doesn't have too many demands on life and can slowly develop some hobbies.

He would write some words and stick them on the window frames, or regularly change the vases on the bookshelf and desk, and move the green plants to different places. He would also sit by the bed or at the tea table and drink a cup of tea when he was resting.

Even in the garden, Master Tang made several wooden racks, carefully placing the extra vases inside. He cleared a space to plant some flowers, and collected a bunch of rocks for landscaping, where the two lotus stone pillars were also placed.

He also went to the garbage station and picked up some stone troughs to use as flower pots, and brought back a stone slab to use as a table. He installed a lamp in the yard so that he could eat and rest in the yard in the summer.

Now everyone in the family compound knows that Deputy Commander Song likes to pick up junk. He often picks up some unknown garbage and happily carries it home.

When the group leaders were chatting together, they all made fun of him.

"Old Song, the decoration of your house is almost done! It is a tradition here that when someone moves in, we have to treat them to a meal. You keep putting it off. Are you trying to shirk your responsibility?" Captain Zhou said bluntly.

"I think he's going to default on his debt! He's picking up junk from my house every day! The street sweepers have complained, and the job has been snatched away by Old Song."

"How can you talk like that! Old Song is a hardworking and frugal person, but treating us is a must. If you don't treat us, we'll charge you interest! Don't force me to come to your house!"

Several people of similar level were teasing Song Changzhou together. After all, there were not many opportunities to make fun of him. They could not beat him during special training and were often surrounded and beaten by his soldiers. His soldiers almost dominated all kinds of competitions. In daily life, this kid was like a black bread man and didn't like to joke. Song Changzhou's recent abnormal behavior finally gave them the opportunity to take revenge, and they must not let this kid go.

Generally, they must have a wedding when they just get married. If a family's daughter-in-law comes to the army to accompany the troops, they must invite her to their home for a few days to have some fun and get to know the people. This is one of the few entertainment activities in the army.

And when it comes to showing off their wives' cooking skills, everyone secretly competes with each other.

Zhang Yuwan was injured and his house was in a mess, so Song Changzhou postponed the dinner party and wedding banquet for the time being.

Unexpectedly, he was so obsessed with renovating old things that when he went to pick up junk, uh, materials, he was stopped by these people and insisted on coming to his house to play in the evening.

Song Changzhou isn't picky about food, but he won't let himself be taken advantage of. If these people were to bully him, he would definitely retort, "What's the matter? Are your salaries insufficient? Are you short of a meal? How about I pick up some to make up for it!"

"Go to hell!" A man next to him cursed and laughed, and punched him on the shoulder, but he dodged it skillfully.

"I never noticed you were into scavenging before, but now that you're married you've developed this hobby. No, I'm worried about you. I have to take a closer look to see if you've been possessed!"

"You are the one who has so many things to do. You can rest assured about the training ground tomorrow." Song Changzhou was about to bypass this person and go home.

"Stop this kid and don't let him leave!"

Several of them were from a martial arts background and were of similar level. None of them was willing to submit to the other, and they spoke and joked without restraint. When they were happy with the quarrel, they would even go to the training ground to practice.

Today, a few of us stopped Song Changzhou and refused to let him go without a confirmation letter! We all knew that Song Changzhou had married a beautiful young wife and was locked up at home every day, so we refused to agree. An ugly wife is bound to meet her parents-in-law!
