Bai Nuo and Fang Meng cooked dinner together. Um… Fang Meng cooked! Bai Nuo sat! Anyway, it was just a couple cooking together.

Zhu Kaixuan was so satisfied and happy with the meal that he almost cried with excitement.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this man is the commander of an army and has a handsome face that looks much younger than his actual age. He looks like a refined and noble young man. In fact, the men of the Zhu family are all rough at heart.

Mr. Zhu is different from Mr. Bai. Although on the surface both of them are poor boys who came from the countryside and worked their way up to high positions step by step, in fact, Mr. Bai is just a fake poor boy who is a real young master.

Although the heritage and wealth passed down from generation to generation by the Bai family cannot be compared with that of the Wei family, there are still many hidden treasures.

It's just that the old man of the Bai family, who once held the position of a first-rank minister and later resigned and retired, was shadowed by treacherous officials in the court. So when he retired to his ancestral hometown, he taught his younger generations the most about how to be low-key, how to hide, and how to make a fortune quietly. This led to the fact that when Mr. Bai was young, everyone who didn't know his background thought he was just a poor boy from a remote rural area.

Because of this, the old man of the Wei family almost disagreed with the marriage. If he had not recognized that this was the eldest grandson of his old uncle after meeting him, it would be hard to say whether the marriage could go through.

You have to know that in the old days, the marriage of children from aristocratic families was very strict, and the first thing to follow was the principle of being well-matched.

But Mr. Zhu is not like that. He is a genuine poor country boy who joined the army to survive. He has never attended a private school for a day and cannot read a single word. He even gets a headache when he sees a book.

The way of educating children is as rough as possible, and the main idea is that a good man is made up under the stick.

As for Madam Zhu, she was a heroine in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression who was as brave as any man, but... in fact, when she was young, she was even more fierce and rougher than Grandpa Zhu.

After all, she was the only daughter of a famous bandit leader in Northeast China. In order to defend her country and to find a way to survive for her brothers in the mountains, Mrs. Zhu resolutely led her brothers in the mountains to join the anti-Japanese war.

Just how fierce was this old lady when she was young?

Take her father, a bandit leader, for example. He refused to join the anti-Japanese war no matter what. But the old lady raised her mace and knocked her father unconscious. Then she took her brothers and carried her father down the mountain to chase the Red Army at night.

After that, he joined the army and became a soldier, but his bandit nature did not diminish much. After the two of them got together, it is easy to imagine what the educational direction and method of the Zhu family's children would be like.

While eating, Bai Nuo and Fang Meng ate dinner while listening to the stories of the older generation. It was quite interesting to listen to, and the two children ate so much that they were full.

After dinner, Fang Meng and the orderly Xiao Li went to the kitchen to wash dishes. Zhu Kaixuan, with an excited look on his face, pulled his daughter into the inner room.

"Here, these are what Dad prepared for you, but this is only a small part. Although your grandfather is poor, your grandma still has a lot of good things. Last time I went back, your grandma told me that the rest will be kept for you and will be handed over to you personally when you return."

After his mother led all the bandits on the mountain to repent and join the Red Army, she voluntarily handed over all the property in the bandit's nest. In fact, that was only a part of it.

His grandfather was a well-known stingy person. He had hidden a lot of good things in private, and he hid them very deep. He only told this to his only daughter when he was dying. Little did he know that his daughter had also hidden a part of the property when she handed it over, and it was not far from the mountain cave where his grandfather hid the things.

It was not until the end of the Anti-Japanese War that his mother secretly ran back to the Northeast alone to dig out the things, but she did not bring them back to Beijing. Instead, she hid them in a place that was completely unrelated to the original hill.

In the entire Zhu family, only he and his mother knew about this.

"Come to think of it, my grandma is quite partial!" Bai Nuo looked at her father's proud and complacent expression with amusement.

At this moment, Zhu Kaixuan no longer looked like the army commander he did outside. He looked like... a lively young man who had not grown up. Bai Nuo suddenly realized that this Zhu Kaixuan merged with the young man her mother described in her daily life, and suddenly became more real.

The young man in my mother's diary is really back!

"What are you partial to?" Zhu Kaixuan sat on a small stool near the kang with his legs spread out, looking at his precious daughter with a smile, and curled his lips. "Your grandma has dreamed of having a daughter since she gave birth to your uncle. But she gave birth to four boys in a row and still didn't give birth to a sweet and adorable daughter. She didn't plan to have any more children. Your uncles have all grown up. I, your dad, am just an accident.

Your grandma was so happy at that time, thinking that her wish had finally come true and she would have a daughter in her old age. But what happened... your dad became your grandma's son in his old age. If your dad wasn't the most handsome one in the family, your grandma would have wanted to kick your grandpa and me out of the house.

In fact, the reason why your dad is favored at home is thanks to your grandpa and grandma. Your grandpa and grandma like cultured and knowledgeable people the most. It just so happens that your grandpa and grandma were the most sought-after college students at that time, and the most precious scientific researchers in the army. I am young and good-looking, and I have liked to follow your mother since I was a child. Your grandma really loves me, and now... your grandma also starts to love me, and my status at home suddenly surpasses your uncles and your grandpa.

Actually, it wasn't your grandma who told me these things. It was your grandma who got excited after she found out that your mom and I were dating and blurted out everything. That's how I found out."

Bai Nuo listened to the stories of his parents and elders with a gentle and curious smile on his face. His bright fox eyes were smiling, exactly like his mother's.

As he watched, Zhu Kaixuan's eyes began to redden. Not wanting to make his daughter sad, he took a deep breath and continued to tell his daughter stories about the elders in the family.

"Although your grandma likes your mom and me the most, she is also nice to your aunts. Your mom once said that your grandma is a very good mother-in-law.

Your aunts are all very nice people. They are kind, well-educated, but they also have the tenacity of new-age women and the perseverance of female warriors. In your grandmother's words, her five daughters-in-law are all treasures gained by the good deeds of the Zhu family, but she likes your mother the most, so she left the most treasures for your mother.

Not only that, your grandma also said that if your mom and I had a daughter, all the money she had left would be given to our daughter as a dowry. And now... she has kept it until now, just waiting for you to take it."

After listening to this, Bai Nuo recalled carefully, and suddenly two large mahogany boxes appeared in the depths of his memory. The boxes were made of old wood and were very precious.

She remembered... the last time her mother came home, she personally took her to a small courtyard owned by her mother, and the box... was in a secret room under the courtyard.

At that time, her mother whispered it in her ear many times, as if she was afraid that she would not have the chance to tell her accidentally, and asked her to remember this place. She also said that these were gifts from grandma to Niu Niu, so when dad came back, she should go with dad to visit grandma.

After that, Mum changed the names of all the houses under her name to hers.

Maybe my mother already had a premonition at that time, because the next day she received the task of air patrol.

Zhu Kaixuan was opening a somewhat worn iron box with his head down at the moment, and did not notice his daughter's expression. He poured all the contents of the iron box onto the kang and pushed them in front of his daughter. He raised his head, his face full of happy smiles, and there was a hint of seeking praise.

"My daughter, these are all given to you by Dad, aren't you happy?"
