70: The Soldier King's Supernatural Wife, Three Babies in One Child

Thinking that it would not delay Qin Yi's treatment, Lu Chaoyan turned Si Zhengyan over and input his supernatural power into his spine to repair the broken wound.

Unfortunately, the injury was so severe that it took three more treatments to fully heal.

However, even so, Si Zhengyan also felt the strength on his back.

In the past, when Lu Hanqing turned him over, he didn’t feel any pain in his back.

Now, he felt a dull pain in his spine. What did Lu Chaoyan do to him?

Her “touch” was actually healing his wounds?

Si Zhengyan was very surprised at his own thoughts. How could there be such a way to treat the disease?

Lu Chaoyan didn’t have time to stay here, so after putting him down, she returned to the Lu family.

Si Zhengyan was filled with disappointment. He followed the movement of the second hand of the alarm clock, counting the time, waiting for her to come again.

Lu Xiang came back early and was washing rice in the kitchen.

Seeing the yellow eel that Lu Chaoyan brought in, he was very surprised and asked, "Where did you catch it? It's quite big."

"I caught it in the field. Let me cook it."

Lu Chaoyan still believed in her own craftsmanship. Lu Xiang glared at her unhappily, "Are you disgusted with your mother so soon?"

"No, I was afraid you'd get too hot," Lu Chaoyan pushed her out, "Go clean up your room, we'll move the bed to your room this afternoon."

"It's just an old bed. If you don't like it, chop it up and use it as firewood." Lu Xiang said nonchalantly.

Lu Chaoyan snorted twice when she heard this. In another twenty years, someone would rush to buy it for one million. "That was passed down from our ancestors. We keep it for future generations to remember. We can't throw it away."

If it was worthless, why would she stop Tao Rui from moving it away?

Didn’t you see that Tao Yuwei was so jealous?

When Lu Xiang heard about the things left by his ancestors, he felt a little sad. The real good things had all been coaxed away from Liu Zhibai by Gu Suyi.

She went into the room, tidied up, and moved out Lu Chaoyan's broken bed.

With the help of Shen Fugui and others, the big bed she slept in was moved against the wall and the room was cleaned.

In order to prevent moisture, Lu Chaoyan asked Lu Hanqing to go to the back of the house to get a bundle of wheat straw and spread it on the ground, then sprinkle a layer of lime and then spread another layer of wheat straw. This was repeated three times, and finally, he put some unusable sacks, old clothes, etc. on it.

Lu Xiang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It makes the bed look like a treasure."

Lu Chaoyan raised her eyebrows and glared at her, "Not only is that bed a treasure, your bed is even better. Keep it for the future. Your grandson will be grateful to you."

Lu Xiang naturally believed her. Her father had told her that all the furniture in the house was made of good wood and asked her to take good care of it as it was very valuable.

But who would want it?

Soon, lunch was ready.

Lu Chaoyan added kelp to the bone soup. This thing is a rare thing for people here, and she bought it by chance.

The pork liver fried with chili peppers is especially delicious with rice.

One portion of yellow eel is stir-fried with onion, ginger and garlic, and the other is braised.

Stir-fried beans, cold cucumber salad, and scrambled eggs with leeks.

Each portion was generous and came in double portions.

When it was time for dinner, Lu Xiang called Liu Zhibai over, but Lu Chaoyan's expression was still cold.

Neither oppose nor welcome.

She and Lu Xiang took the children to the west room to eat with Lu Yuedan, while Shen Fugui, Liu Zhibai and other men ate in the main room.

After dinner, several grown men carried the old wooden bed to Lu Xiang's room. Lu Chaoyan also piled a few mahogany chairs on top of it and forbade them to take it out and use it.

She also warned Lu Hanqing once again not to throw away the furniture.

Shen Fugui said with a smile: "It's not good to just pile it here. When winter comes and I have some free time, I'll give the cloth a layer of wax."

"Then I would like to thank Uncle Fugui in advance."

After expressing her gratitude, Lu Chaoyan did not forget to remind Shen Fugui and the others.

"Uncle Fugui, you often make furniture for others. If you come across old items, especially those that are very old, keep them. There will be a huge return in the future, a million times the return."

"Haha, you can predict the future," Shen Fugui did not believe her million-fold return, nor did he believe her words.

"I've been visiting households and have seen some great furniture, all made of old mahogany like yours.

That carving makes my grandfather feel ashamed. I will introduce you to them and ask them to sell it to you. I don’t want that thing.”

The ancestors of the Shen family were all carpenters, and the most skilled among them was Shen Fugui’s grandfather, whose carving skills were unique in the area.

He died early and did not pass down his carving skills. His descendants only knew how to make furniture, and the most difficult and most profitable carving technique was lost.

However, this does not prevent the descendants of the Shen family from bragging about this.

As for Shen Fugui not believing Lu Chaoyan's words, it was because people of that era could not even have enough food without money, so how could they have the leisure time like people in later generations to hype up those old items.

Moreover, they have lived in these mountains all their lives and do not have a long-term vision or trust in the future. They are already content to live well in the present.

"Uncle Fugui, don't regret it!"

Lu Chaoyan had already imagined how Shen Fugui, who was over 70 years old, would regret what he had said today.

She continued, "It doesn't matter what kind of furniture it is, as long as it's made of mahogany, I'll buy even a piece of wood.

Please help me look at the vases, plates, bowls, copper stoves, and pottery jars. I want any that are from a relatively old vintage."

She said it so seriously that Shen Fugui and the third son-in-law also looked serious, "How can you be sure that those old things will be valuable in the future?"

“Because the country and the people will become richer and richer, and people will live a good life, they will collect old things, and by then, as long as it is old, someone will collect it.

Please trust me for once. Even if you don't receive anything good, you can sell the comic books that children read, the stamps you usually use to send credit cards, the boxes you usually smoke, the food coupons and the money we use now, and you can get a return of 10,000 times in 20 years."

When she said that, it became even more mysterious.

Shen Fugui and his sons-in-law naturally didn't believe it, but they still had changes of mind.

Anyway, they would encounter all the things she said when they were out and about.

Keep a few of these at home, and you might just make a fortune.

Lu Chaoyan only said a few kind words out of kindness because of the Shen family's care for the original owner's family. If it was someone who was ungrateful, she would not bother to waste her words.

In the afternoon, Lu Chaoyan did not go into the mountains, and Lu Xiang did not go to work.

The two men picked up six baskets of dry river sand from the river, piled them in front of the gate of the Lu family compound, and used a sieve to filter out the large stones, leaving only usable fine sand.

Shen Fugui and his sons-in-law mixed fine sand with cement to make the floor.

As for the walls of that room, they were painted once when Tao Rui and Hu Li got married, but the paint started to peel off over time, so they just had to roll some lime oil on them again.

Chen Jun, the third son-in-law of the Shen family, knows how to whitewash the walls. He pours the lime into a large water tank and soaks it to melt. He then stirs it constantly with a thick wooden stick until the water and lime are fully blended, and then leaves it there to clarify for an hour.

The fine layer of paste on top is lime oil.

Use it to paint the wall, and it will be flawless white with an oily luster. The key is that it doesn't shed dust.
