Chapter 159
Lao Li Tou took advantage of the wine and talked about his Debao experience. In the first year of reform and opening up, many people went out to buy silver dollars and went to the south to make money. Lao Li had nothing to do at home, so he took out all the family's savings from the bank and sewed them into the innermost pants. With a few locals going to other places to buy Yuan Datou. Due to his small capital, poor conditions, and illiterateness, he did not dare to run too far, and only wandered around a few counties and cities under the jurisdiction of Luzhou. The next year, he had 2,000 yuan in his hands. Now it seems that 2,000 yuan is just the price of a meal, but in the early 80s, it can buy the best shop in the city! Coincidentally, it was raining on this day, and he was walking on the street of Sage Kong's hometown, afraid that his clothes would get wet, so he hid in the gate hole of a house to avoid the rain. In the sound of the rain, the main room continued to hear the woman's crying, stretched out his ears to listen, and heard the woman's crying, as if his son was seriously ill, and it was not enough to ask for money for medical treatment, the man went out to borrow money, ran for a long time, and the money was still not enough. The woman was crying in the house in a hurry, and the mother and son were connected.
When the man went home, he saw Lao Li Tou hiding from the rain under the gate of his house, and after asking, he knew that he was a silver dollar seller, and it was estimated that he had money in his hand, and his son's life was in danger. ”
Lao Li shook his head. When it first opened, people had a weak concept of cultural relics and did not know how valuable they were. The man said, "I'm a treasure bowl." ”
I don't know which generation and which dynasty in history, the emperor married his daughter to the saint's house as a daughter-in-law, and got a full banquet. The emperor's daughter, the golden branches and jade leaves, is no better than the folk grass people, and the bowls used to eat in the past were all fired in the folk kiln. The emperor's house eats and serves vegetables, all of which are bowls fired in the official kiln. When the princess eats, she naturally has to use the official bowl fired by the official kiln in the palace, and the owner of this family has been a kitchen servant in the Kong family for generations. Although it is also sexual, it is not as expensive as the descendants of the Kong family. The old hairy man attacked, and the house was in chaos, and the cook took the opportunity to touch a treasure bowl and ran away in his arms. I wanted to take it home for my grandson to eat, but then I thought it was inappropriate and found out that I was going to kill my head. To be on the safe side, the cook wrapped the bowl in wool paper and hid it in the urine jar that his father used at night, and placed it generously at the door of the small hut, with half a jar of urine in it. The top is covered with a tile with a missing corner. (Long-haired attack, referring to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement - Author's note)
After Chang Maozi attacked and left, the housekeeper in the house checked some things and found that there was a treasure bowl missing, and the things given by the emperor were recorded, and it was clearly written on the account, and it was disrespectful to the emperor if it was lost or destroyed. The housekeeper did not dare to make a noise. Held a meeting with the cooks and servants in private, and the key suspect was also subjected to family law, so he was lynched.
The cook knew in his heart that sticking out and shrinking his head was a knife. Admitting or not admitting is a crime. Choosing one of the two, he simply carried it hard, refused to admit the fact that he had stolen the bowl, and insisted that the bowl was taken by the long-haired soldiers who attacked the mansion. The housekeeper took people to the cook's house to search for them. I looked up and down the house, inside and out, and even the tiled ridges on the house. Only the urine jar at the door of the small thatched house was not carefully searched. A family member lifted the tiles covered on the urine jar, and before he could look inside, there was already a smell rushing to his mouth and nose first, choking he quickly covered his mouth, and smashed the old tiles in his hand on the ground, he wanted to kick the urine jar to vent his anger, but he was afraid that the clay jar couldn't help kicking, kicking the urine and spilling it on his feet, so he dispelled the idea of kicking the jar. It was precisely because of this missing kick that he didn't kick it out that he saved the lives of the cook's family of five.
The butler tried his best to find the bowl. I had to tell the master the truth. Since ancient times, the disasters of swords and soldiers have been natural disasters. The master had no choice, and later it was the daughter-in-law of the family, and the princess, when she entered the Beijing Province, secretly stuffed the bowl of food into the arms of the horse and took it out of the palace, so that the bowl was made up. Now in order to save his son's life, the cook's descendants have no choice but to sell the treasure bowl.
Lao Li Tou wanted to buy the treasure bowl back and give it to the donkey for dinner, so he took out all the 2,000 yuan he had brought with him, and even handed over the coil to go home. The man was still too little, so he took off his valuable clothes and handed them to the man, and then he bought the treasure bowl. When the cook's descendants handed over the bowl, his eyes were full of tears, his hands trembled, and he put the treasure bowl on the ground, stared three times, cried and took the money and clothes, entered the main room, and did not forget to kick Lao Li's buttocks hard when he left.
Lao Li Tou took the treasure bowl in his arms, and rushed for thirty miles, not daring to walk in a straight line, and taking the path in a twist and turn, for fear that the cook's descendants would catch up and kill him. Since he didn't have a penny on him and couldn't afford to buy food, he was hungry when he walked, so he pretended to relieve himself, lay down in the sweet potato field on the side of the road, secretly picked out two sweet potatoes, and nibbled on them as he walked. When he was thirsty, he would lie down and drink the spring water in the ditch, and sometimes the sweet potatoes would not come together, and he would also nibble on the raw tender corn cobs. For five days and five nights, he walked back home. It was because he was in the prime of life at that time, and his body was strong, so he didn't die outside, but he also shed several layers of skin all over his body. When I returned home, I was seriously ill, my face was yellow and thin, and I couldn't get up after lying on the kang for half a month. Fortunately, the donkey didn't take advantage of the darkness and brought him some food, so he didn't die in that scene. Later, he recovered, and the treasure bowl was still hidden in the urine jar according to the cook's method of hiding the treasure, and the red belly pocket was wrapped with the love object of the leather donkey and his mother, and several layers of oiled paper were wrapped on the outside to prevent moisture, so that the treasure has been preserved to this day.
Huang Dakuo asked, "Old man, do you know how much this baby is worth?" ”
Lao Li's face was confused, and he muttered: "It doesn't matter if you have more money or less money, it's a piece of my heart for my son." It's also an explanation to the donkey. I spend all this love and righteousness on my son, and his mother will see it in heaven, and she will also cool me. Yuan Liang, my family was poor in my early years, I couldn't marry her, I lost her enthusiasm, and I was a puppet of her. "Sacrifice your life to get a treasure to pass on to your son today, you should be cold to me, right?" Lao Li stretched out his hands high to the sky, and said this with his back to the sky, the old tears were horizontal, and he could hardly cry.
Meimei's mother put her mouth next to Meimei's ear, lowered her voice and said, "That bowl is worth more than 10 million, shoot." ”
Meili touched Piqiang with her elbow, and anxiously whispered: "Bowl, bowl, more than 10 million, go quickly." What are you doing stupidly? ”
After his wife's words, Pi Qiang came back to his senses. He walked up to his father and said, "Dad, give me that bowl?" Or do I keep the insurance, I have a safe in my room. You can keep that red belly pocket as a souvenir. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. None of you would have thought that Pi Qiang would say such a thing. At that time, they all looked at the donkey in a daze, seeing how he replied to this good son who asked for money and didn't want his father.
The villagers all know that since Pi Qiang became the son-in-law of the tax director, he has never interacted with the people in his family, for fear that the villagers will ask for him. Even during the Chinese New Year, he didn't go home to visit his father, so he said that he went home to burn paper to his mother on the Qingming Festival and July 15. Since the donkey married Wufeng, he has almost cut off contact with his family in recent years. This time, Lao Li Tou recognized his grandson, and he was able to come, completely for the sake of the money and the face of the house. If he hadn't gone up with these two things, he wouldn't have come if he had polished his tongue in vain. Taking a step back, he thought about it himself, and the beautiful lady would not agree, and without their approval, he would not dare to make his own decisions. The name is quite good, Pi Qiang, Pi Qiang, where is the word "strong"? Is it better to be afraid of your wife?
The donkey said, "If you want a bowl, bring it to my house with my grandson." ”
Pi Qiang guarded so many people, he didn't want to come out of the bowl, his face was a little unbearable, but he didn't dare to argue, in fact, he couldn't find a reason to argue. Grandpa originally gave it to him, but he didn't want it himself. The old man saw that he was getting old every year, and he looked forward to holding his grandson for several years, but his wish was not realized. It's no wonder that his ignorant mother-in-law always fantasizes that his daughter with her beautiful appearance, hooks up a wide and a little, and kicks the skin strongly, and she climbs the high branches again, in order to regain the glory and wealth. She was afraid that it would be a burden for her daughter to be beautiful and have children, so she kept instigating her daughter not to have children. Unexpectedly, the more than 10 million that I saw to be in hand were stuck because I had no children. Where did she estimate that her son-in-law's coffin and grandfather, this cloud would rain? People are not as good as heaven, it is really often said, and there is ginseng in small pharmacies. She shook her head helplessly, watching the more than 10 million treasures slip away from her.
Meili is also scolding Pi Qiang for being ignorant, scolding him for not mentioning the urine jar and missing a great opportunity to make a windfall. Life, born poor! Damn it to the well, he won't die in the bay. I was also on the spot, who would have thought that the old comrade would be able to hide the priceless treasure bowl in that deadly urine jar! From this point of view, this thing is really a fate, but you can't ask for it. Now it's good, go back and have a baby. She thought about the benefits again: giving birth to a child of more than 10 million yuan is not cheap. Thinking of this, Mei Mei was happy again, glad that God had given her a good opportunity to make a fortune. Having a son and money, where can you find such a good thing in the world? It's just my beautiful and handsome that I can have such a good life! (To be continued......)
