Ye Zhengjun did not choose a highly specified house for his wife. He thought it would be enough for the two elderly, with no children around, and thus chose the regiment commander's level house behind Lu Jiang's home.
Although it was cleaned up, the house was still empty.
After deciding to join the army, pots, bowls, and other utensils borrowed from the troops were gradually returned. Since Lu Jiang earned a good wage after joining, a batch of goods, including a whole set of utensils like vegetable knives, several enamel pots, enamel tanks, and other living necessities were purchased and placed in the store by Feng Qingxue.
So, it was Ye Zhengjun's idea not to equip his house with those items from the army.
