Chapter 107: A Silver Dollar for a Clay Pot
Negotiated the price with Boss Wang and paid the money.
Liu Xing went back with Zhao Hu.
Now that there are clear water bricks, the adobe house before the eldest sister's house, except for the backyard and kitchen, naturally has to be demolished and rebuilt.
That's a lot of work.
But it is liked by Zhao Hu, Zhao Biao, Zhao Jianzhong, Zhao Liang and others.
Even Zhao Wuliang is also happy.
Because he can use the name of helping again, he can eat at his eldest brother's house for a few more days.
Liu Dongju's father-in-law, Zhao Geng, also came, and after he knew that his son's house had collapsed, he specially sent ten yuan and a cart of Chinese cabbage.
As for the rest of the things, because my life is not easy either.
So it's not being expressed.
But this is what makes Liu Dongju and Zhao Dongkui happy.
Because Zhao Geng was old, the couple arranged for Zhao Geng to take care of Xiao Xiao.
This job is very easy, and Zhao Geng is naturally willing to accept it.
But soon he couldn't be happy, because Zhao Wuliang, a stinky boy, helped his eldest brother and actually hid in the backyard to sleep.
This time, he didn't care about Zhao Wuliang's face, and found a bamboo stick to slam at Zhao Wuliang, until Zhao Wuliang was covered in blood marks all over his body.
I thought that Zhao Wuliang would leave directly in anger, but who expected that Zhao Wuliang would cheekily run to the gate to help clean up the adobe bricks, and the previous beating was actually treated as if it hadn't happened.
"How did I give birth to such a son!" Zhao Geng stroked his chest and sighed.
Zhao Ji on the side couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "It's all your own fault, you spoiled Zhao Wuliang when you were a child, otherwise you can become like this when you grow up?"
"That's right, Zhao Wuliang just can't be talented if he doesn't fight, you see that after he was beaten by you, won't he become more diligent?" Zhao Liang said teasingly.
Zhao Geng didn't hear the ridicule in these words, and even felt that what Zhao Liang said to Zhao Ji was reasonable, and after secretly writing it down in his heart, he took Xiao Budian to the market for a stroll.
After all, this gate is very unsafe, and if there is any accident, then he really can't explain it.
However, Xiao Budian didn't like to be with him, and after walking around the market, he ran back with a shout, and followed Liu Xing like a fart inseparable.
This made Zhao Geng cry and laugh, but he didn't say anything.
After all, he could see that if Liu Xing hadn't been very good to Xiao Budian, Xiao Budian would never have liked to stay by Liu Xing's side like this.
In a flash, it was noon.
Zhao Geng saw that Liu Dongju was very busy in the kitchen alone, so he rolled up his sleeves and walked in.
On the side of the road, there was the sudden sound of a tractor.
Liu Xing, who was helping to clean up the adobe bricks, looked up and saw that the co-pilot was sitting Boss Wang, and the shelves were still full of clear water bricks, so he hurriedly put down the hoe in his hand and greeted him: "Boss Wang, why did you send the green bricks here so late? ”
"What's the matter, you have to let me find the tractor!" Boss Wang explained when he heard this.
This time it's true, after all, the tractors at the bazaar are not on call.
Liu Xing didn't bother either, seeing that there were several porters sitting on the tractor cargo box, he hurriedly pointed out the location where the clear water bricks were stored, and then watched from the side.
Seeing that the cleaned water bricks that were carried down were no different from what I saw before, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's not that he is cautious, but with a second-hand dealer like Boss Wang, he has to be careful, otherwise he won't know when he will be caught.
Seeing that the clear water bricks of a tractor were quickly unloaded, Liu Xing patted the dust on his body and was about to continue cleaning the adobe bricks, but the little dot on the side suddenly ran to his side in a hurry: "Uncle, uncle! What did you find in the nest?"
After speaking, she raised a silver dollar in Yang Xiaoxiao's hand.
"My God, where did you find that?" Liu Xing froze in place.
This silver dollar, even if it was placed in the eighties, should be very valuable.
"Found there. Xiao Budian happily pulled Liu Xing to the ruins on the right.
Soon, she stopped in front of an earthen pot.
Liu Xing squatted down and took a look, good guy.
Although the earthen jar was not large, it was full of silver dollars.
Take it out and blow it with your mouth, and it buzzes.
In other words, each silver dollar is real.
After Liu Xing came back to his senses, he hurriedly picked up the earthen jar and ran towards the kitchen: "Sister, you see that Xiao Xiao has found something good." ”
"Huh?" Liu Dongju, who was chopping vegetables, looked up at Liu Xing at the door of the kitchen, and after seeing the silver dollar in Liu Xing's hand, he smiled disapprovingly: "The village chief also found two of these things before and asked me to put them under the bed." ”
"What do you mean, this silver dollar is worthless?" Liu Xing was stunned.
Xiao Budian tilted his little head and was a little unhappy.
After all, this thing is pretty good!
Liu Dongju picked up a rag and wiped his hands: "It's not that it's worthless, but when I used to build a house, I would put some silver dollars on the roof to ward off evil spirits, and this silver dollar was specially collected before, but after being arrested by the people from the police station, no one dared to do it anymore." ”
The implication is that the dollar cannot be traded now, but can only be used as a souvenir.
"That's it!" Liu Xing suddenly realized.
However, he knew that what the eldest sister said was the old yellow calendar, and this silver dollar could definitely be bought and sold freely after the reform and opening up. It's just the price, he really doesn't understand it.
"If you like it, I'll give you this jar of silver dollars. After Liu Dongju said this, he buried his head and continued to get busy.
Liu Xing heard that he couldn't ask for it, so he took the little dot who was snuggled at his feet and walked towards the backyard.
This earthen jar of silver dollars, for him, must be put away.
When the cultural and entertainment market opens, it will be taken out and sold at that time.
Or wait until a few decades later to leave it to posterity, which is a lot of wealth!
......
It's almost time for lunch.
Boss Wang asked the tractor driver to send a cart of old furniture.
Because Liu Xing said that it was used to burn firewood, it was not serious, so people just threw it on the ground and left.
This made Liu Xing feel distressed, but he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the Huanghuali carved bed he needed was not damaged.
Nie Quan put down the planer in his hand at this time, and when he saw Liu Xing squatting on the ground studying the carved bed, he smiled and leaned over: "Why did you buy this old thing from Boss Wang? Except for burning it as firewood, it has no value at all." ”
This is not wrong at all, because in the early 80s, there were many carved beds made of yellow rosewood in the countryside!
While there are some people who are collecting, most people simply don't give a damn about it.
Because in these days, I can't even eat enough.
How can you be in the mood to study this thing made of wood!
Liu Xing naturally knew the inside story of this, and he smiled when he heard this: "I just asked Boss Wang to transport it to my sister as firewood!
"Then I'll help you chop it, it's really good to cook on the fire, I've tried it before. After Nie Quan said this, he turned around and picked up the axe and prepared to start drying.
This frightened Liu Xing, and after coming back to his senses, he hurriedly stopped Nie Quan: "Don't mess around, I have other functions before this carved bed burns the fire." ”
"What a role. Liu Xing was puzzled.
"Don't ask, you can't split it for firewood anyway. Liu Xing was afraid that Nie Quan would not listen to her, so he hurriedly picked up the head of the carved bed and walked towards the backyard.
Nie Quan looked puzzled and scratched his head.
But I couldn't think of a reason, so I had to give up and rest.
After a while, Liu Dongju brought the dishes to the table: "It's time to eat, it's time to eat!" Everyone hurry up to the table, otherwise the food will not taste good if it is cold." ”
Xiao Budian knew that there was taro stewed pork ribs to eat at noon today, and the first one rushed to the table with a small rice bowl.
Melon Seed and Zhao Jing also followed.
But she saw that the two beggars on the side of the road were still there.
Stunned, he picked up the rice bowl and filled a big bowl of rice, sandwiched several pieces of braised pork and pork ribs and walked over.
"This kid. Liu Dongju wanted to stop it, but was stopped by Liu Xing: "Sister, don't care, you will hit the melon seeds like this." ”
Children have kindness and love.
This is a very gratifying thing, so it must be supported.
Of course, Guazi did this, in fact, he secretly ordered it, because the pair of grandfathers and grandsons on the side of the road really needed help.
Maybe today's help may seem a bit nosy to most people, but if he, the reborn person, is left alone, then he can't be said to be unworthy of the golden finger of rebirth.
Therefore, within the best of his ability, it is natural to help if he can.
Maybe......
All this is predestined and uncertain.
"It's not that I don't allow melon seeds to give food to these two beggars, the key is that everyone hasn't eaten yet! Liu Dongju explained with a light smile.
The implication is that everything has to come first.
Although those two beggars are pitiful, they can't be treated the same as the craftsmen who help with the decoration!
"I don't need that kind of respect. Village Chief Zhao laughed.
Zhao Hu, Zhao Biao, Zhao Jianzhong and others also agreed.
After all, when you are out of the house, who hasn't fallen yet.
Perhaps the help to this old and young today may not be the same as their good retribution in the future.
In fact, what Liu Dongju didn't know was that the two beggars, one old and one young, did not leave the market.
That's because the people of Laowu Village are simple, and many villagers will quietly bring them food after seeing them starving and cold.
Otherwise, the grandfather and grandson would have starved to death in this bazaar.
