Soon, the old lady came back holding a wooden box.

The box was opened, and a pair of rich jade bracelets appeared in front of Li Xinran.

Next to the jade bracelet is a lifelike phoenix hairpin.

Li Xinran's heart moved, these are all good things, but there was nothing unusual about her face.

At this time, the old lady said with some pride and reluctance,

"These are all old items left over from the Ming Dynasty, comrade, take a look."

If they hadn't found themselves in this situation, these things wouldn't be sold at all.

Today I sold these things left by my ancestors. I hope that when I see my ancestors in the future, my ancestors will not blame them.

There is nothing they can do.

Ming Dynasty?

When Li Xinran heard this, he took a more serious look at the phoenix hairpin. The pattern was complex and the workmanship was very exquisite.

After reading it, she slowly asked, "How do you plan to sell these two?"

The old lady looked at the phoenix hairpin and jade bracelet in the box and sighed.

"100 yuan, fifty catties of food stamps, plus twenty catties of meat stamps."

Li Xinran was a little nervous, but instantly relaxed a lot.

For this price, it's worth it.

"Okay," Li Xinran agreed happily.

It just so happened that she had just withdrawn money today, and she also had food stamps and meat stamps.

The two of them paid with one hand and delivered the goods with the other. After Li Xinran took the phoenix hairpin and bracelet, he left the small courtyard.

In the small courtyard, the old lady carefully placed the 100 yuan, fifty kilograms of food stamps, and twenty kilograms of meat stamps.

"Now, our grandson won't have to worry about it in the future."

The old man also responded,

"Yeah, haven't you always wanted to eat meat?"

"Go buy some meat tonight and make dumplings for him."

The old lady responded with a smile, "Hey, I'll buy it in a minute."

"With this money, I'll keep the remaining pieces of wood for Mingming."

"We can be considered as leaving some things passed down from our ancestors."

"Alas——" the old man sighed.

Of their huge property, all they had left in their hands was a few pieces of wood.

After Li Xinran left the courtyard, she took the phoenix hairpin and the bracelet into the space and put them together with the bracelets and gold bars she had found in the scrapyard.

Then, she bought some rice dumpling leaves, horse lotus seeds, colorful threads, and a few colorful gourds.

It was almost the Dragon Boat Festival. She would hang up these gourds when she got home, and it was time to wrap the rice dumplings.

On the way back, she took some more from the space, including big yellow rice, glutinous rice, purple rice, eight-treasure rice, candied dates, and red beans, and put them into the basket on her back.

These are all used to make rice dumplings.

Li Xinran returned to the corps with a basket full of things on his back.

The military wives who ride in the same car are used to it.

Every time Li Xinran comes to town, he must carry baskets back home.

They would be surprised if one day Li Xinran carried half of the basket on his back.

After returning to the small courtyard of the Corps, Li Xinran put down his backpack and went to see Xiaojin and Xiaoyu first.

Two babies are playing in a stroller.

Shen Boyuan frowned when he saw Li Xinran coming back with a basket full of things.

"Daughter-in-law, whatever you want to buy next time, I will buy it."

"This basket is too heavy."

Li Xinran waved his hand carelessly, "I just walked this far from the gate of the Corps to my home. How heavy can it be?"

Shen Boyuan still disagreed.

He looked at the two little cubs in the stroller and once again hoped that the two little cubs would grow up quickly.

He wanted to take his wife out for such a small one, but she couldn't.

Shen Boyuan brought the basket to the kitchen, intending to take out the things in the basket and put them away one by one.

As soon as he took a few items, he saw packages of Chinese medicinal materials.

Shen Boyuan's expression changed. Is Xin Ran sick?

He didn't even know.

Could it be that Xin Ran went to town today just to see a doctor in the hospital?

The more Shen Boyuan thought about it, the worse his face became. He strode up to Li Xinran and asked anxiously,

"Daughter-in-law, are you sick?"

"What disease?"

"what did the doctor say?"

Li Xinran was a little confused by Shen Boyuan's repeated questions.

"I'm not sick," she replied subconsciously.

"What about those Chinese medicinal materials in your basket?" Shen Boyuan asked again, staring straight at her.

"Ah, those Chinese medicinal materials," Li Xinran came back to her senses.

She continued, "I just saw a pharmacology book that introduced many Chinese medicinal materials."

"I just took advantage of this trip to town, so I bought some Chinese medicinal materials and came back to identify them."

Shen Boyuan still had some questions, "Daughter-in-law, why do you recognize Chinese medicinal materials?"

Li Xinran said in a casual tone, "There is a secret recipe in that book. I want to try and see if I can make the secret recipe."

After Shen Boyuan heard this explanation, he was stunned for a moment.

Her daughter-in-law is an English translator and good calligrapher, and now she has to figure out the secret recipe for Chinese medicine.

There's nothing else that Xin Ran doesn't want to do.

Xinran is really like a book. Every time you turn a page, there is wonderful content.

"Deputy leader, you don't think I'm joking, do you?" Li Xinran blinked and asked casually.

"No," Shen Boyuan answered firmly.

"Daughter-in-law, I will support you in whatever you want to do."

"Well," a smile instantly appeared on Li Xinran's face.

Shen Boyuan is truly her husband.

She suddenly felt that even if she wanted to set the house on fire, Shen Boyuan wouldn't say anything.

After asking about the Chinese medicinal materials, Shen Boyuan was relieved of what he had just mentioned.

Li Xinran took the colorful gourds, held them up in front of Xiaojin and Xiaoyu, and teased them.

"Does it look good? Does it look good?"

Xiaojin and Xiaoyu were obviously attracted by the colorful gourd in her hand, and their eyes followed the gourd in her hand.

His little arms kept waving, trying to catch him.

How could Li Xinran let them catch him.

These gourds are all made of paper.

Once they catch him, it's hard to miss him.

After playing for a while, Li Xinran asked Shen Boyuan to fold a wicker stick and hang a gourd on the wicker stick.

Then, hang the wicker hanging the gourd on the door frame.

As soon as it is hung like this, the atmosphere of the Dragon Boat Festival is instantly there, and all that is left is to make rice dumplings.

"Deputy leader, can you make rice dumplings?" Li Xinran looked at Shen Boyuan beside him and asked curiously.

Shen Boyuan paused for a second before replying, "No."

Then, he immediately promised, "But I can learn, wife."

Li Xinran laughed out loud, "I don't know how to cover it either."
