CHAPTER XXVIII
All members of the family have had a feeling in recent days: Yan Ting doesn't seem to be too normal to do things and talk. This makes everyone start to worry, once people are sad to the extreme, they may not feel what sadness is, they will feel that everything has nothing to do with them, and they will be numb.
Yan Ting didn't talk much anymore, she didn't cry or make trouble, and sometimes her eyes were staring in one direction for most of the day. There is no too much expression on his face, and he treats everything with an attitude, as if nothing has much to do with him. The image of the former spirit, capable and playful is gone. Sometimes they talk to themselves and have words in their mouths.
The most obvious manifestation is that she basically has no hunger needs all day long, and she does not eat much.
The family quietly discussed, don't mention the child's affairs in the future, don't give him any stimulation, try to create a relaxed and harmonious environment and atmosphere for her, so that she can slowly come out of her sadness, but anyone knows in their hearts that if they can't find the baby, will she come out?
The second baby saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart, he was a man, and he couldn't fall down first of all. She decided to take Yan Ting to the city's big hospital to have a look, so that if there is a problem, it can be prevented and treated in time.
The diagnosis after clinical observation by the doctor was: mental illness, moderate depression. At that time, it was difficult for people to understand what depression was, and the second baby only understood that depression was a mental illness after consulting the doctor in detail, and it was serious to return to the injury and internal distension and so on.
Yan Ting's parents are also getting old, and when this happens, their bodies almost collapse. Fortunately, after all, I am older, I have seen more things, and I can self-regulate and convince myself. When this kind of encounter occurs with his eldest grandson, how many grandparents are not heartbroken?
Hearing that the second baby came back, Yan Lao and the four decided that the husband and wife would take turns to take care of Yan Ting, and they would not do business and would not return home. put the youngest son Yan Fang and went to school below until Yan Ting completely recovered and recovered.
Erwa sent people to inquire and observe several enemies he felt had offended deeply, and the people who came back said that there was no abnormality, and they did not know any valuable clues.
No matter how things change, life has to go on.
No matter how big a person is, it seems that he can't stop Liancheng from continuing to seek wealth and gold.
Lian Cheng heard the old people say that there are several mountains in Fushun Township and there are several deep holes in the middle of the mountainside, and the legend is that people in ancient times dug for gold. I also heard that in fact, all the gold is washed by geological changes and perennial rains, and the gold in the river comes down from the mountains in the final analysis. Lian Cheng thought: Then there should be a lot of gold on the mountain.
Lian became a little excited about this idea, so he went to the Provincial Geological Bureau to find an expert to confirm, and the expert also told him: You can smash some rocks from the mountain to come to us for testing. He was given how to discern what color or appearance of stone passes might have gold, and how to extract gold from those stones, as well as the necessary equipment and tools.
Lian Cheng was like a treasure, and when he returned home, he immediately took his subordinates to various mountains, and smashed some samples according to the methods given by experts and sent them to the provincial capital for testing.
Three days later, the results came out, all of them contained gold, but the labels were different.
One of the pieces was still very high, which made Lian Cheng ecstatic. When I got home, I immediately started to act, selling □□, buying mills, opening roads, and building wires. A month later, the first grinding came out, the amount of gold was average, and it continued for a few days, Lian Cheng couldn't hide the ecstasy in his heart, and the gold content was getting higher and higher day by day. He looked at the continuous peaks, and felt that he was the one standing on the top of the highest one, and he could see the mountains at a glance!
Shanjin was also called Kuaijin at that time. It is the gold contained in the stone pass on the mountain. It involves blasting the conjoined rocks into small pieces with □□, grinding the various stones into powder with an electric stone mill, and then refining the gold with mercury. Although the purity of the refined gold is not as high as that of the sand gold in the river, (generally it can only reach 780 percent, and the sand gold is generally more than 90 percent, and one gram will be sold for a few dollars less), but the use of fewer people and the use of machinery is also monotonous, and the cost is greatly reduced than that of digging sand gold. As long as the gold content is high, the effect income is not less than that of sand gold.
Most of the river has been hollowed out, and there is not much space. The appearance of Shanjin was undoubtedly like a thunderclap in the entire Qiu Yuanba and neighboring towns, and the people who bombed began to panic and be a little caught off guard.
The Forestry Administration, the Conservation Station, and the Resources Bureau are the competent authorities. These departments must symbolically stop this kind of serious ecological destruction, but if the local area wants to develop, to become rich, to make the leaders rich, to make oil and water, the gold has to continue to dig, but only with the permission of the competent authorities and the so-called approval.
The stationmaster of the protection station is surnamed Wang, and it seems that he is about to reach retirement age, but he didn't expect that he was going to go down, and it was such a good thing. Stationmaster Wang's bald head seemed to be rubbed out of oil by his two hands, as if he was thinking about how to make a windfall before he retired.
Wang Shuai, the eldest son of Wang Zhan, is thirty-six years old, and like his Lao Tzu, he also has a bald head, but he still has some hair, and his head is not as light as his Lao Tzu. has been an unethical person since he was a child, otherwise how could he have that scar on his face? It is said that he was molesting a female classmate when he was in school, and was beaten by several boys.
The stationmaster found Erwa, and wanted to cooperate with Erwa to mine mountain gold, and the formalities didn't need to be managed by Erwa, just give a dry share, and Erwa saw a lot of this kind of thing, so he agreed very quickly.
With Sanmao arranging everything, Zhang Shuai followed Sanmao's ass all day long, basically unable to do any work, and couldn't solve any substantive problems. But there is a stationmaster's father who is there to support him, so the problem is not a problem.
Here, everyone has tasted the real benefits of gold, so almost everyone is inseparable from gold-related work. Everyone's eyes are always looking for opportunities, all the opportunities related to gold.
As long as they hear that there is a new discovery there, it will quickly spread, and as soon as one person moves, there are many people waiting behind to charge.
It didn't take long for the mountains large and small to be occupied by countless people, and the action of the gold gate began according to the gourd painting scoop and Liancheng.
In addition to partnering with Wang Shuai, Erwa also specially found experts to come over and start the mining of the other two mountains.
All of a sudden, the old forests in the deep mountains that had been silent for many years suddenly became active, and the original forest where birds and deer were singing was replaced by the roar of machines and the shouts of people......
The dam, which was originally smooth, was turned over like a hill and mountain stream by large machines, and the gold buried at the bottom of the river for thousands of years was excavated by hand. Now turn to the mountains, where everyone will fulfill the wishes of their fathers that their fathers never thought of and did not dare to imagine!
The place where Sanmao and Zhang Shuai are located is called Yaozigou, and there is a village where they live, called Yaozi Village. There are more than 30 households, and the old wood-framed houses are located in the middle of the mountainside, and the gold mines are not far behind. Of course, if you occupy someone's own land or private forest, you must negotiate with that family and make corresponding compensation. As a result, many families lived a prosperous life, and some received compensation and turned to gold prospecting.
Fushun Township is the second largest township rich in gold after Qiu Yuanba, the only difference is that Qiu Yuanba digs sand gold and relies on draft; Fushun Township digs mountain gold and eats mountains. It can really be said that every family relies on gold digging, and everyone devotes themselves to gold digging.
The deep forests have become smooth roads, and the mountains have become bazaars. The cliffs have been transformed into avenues, and the thorny jungle is lit up brightly. Mighty teams of pioneers flocked to the mountains, men, women and children rushed to the jungle with joy.
Erwa opened holes in two nearby mountains at the same time to extract ore, Sanmao and Zhang Shuai managed a cave, Ma Biao led people to manage another golden cave, and Zhang Haicheng naturally managed the river dam.
Sanmao and Zhang Shuai live in a farmer's house, the owner's name is Wang Yingliang, in his fifties, and his wife died of cancer just last year. gave birth to two girls, the eldest woman only got married last year, and the second woman was eighteen years old and called Wang Hua. Wang Hua came to the door to propose a lot of marriage, but none of them did she like. Although Wang Hua is not particularly beautiful, she is moderately fat and thin, with positive facial features, and she is also very beautiful.
People in the countryside believe that sons can only be successful when they study, and daughters are born sooner or later. Therefore, Wang Hua's two sisters, like all girls, only went home to farm after only one junior high school, waiting to get married and have children, and pass on the lineage.
When digging gold in the river dam, the managers and ordinary workers all ate together, but now it is different, Sanmao and Zhang Shuai found Wang Hua's sister Wang Fang to cook for the two of them.
Narrow gold is different from sand gold, you need to grind stones to refine gold powder, this situation is basically no one can steal gold, so Sanmao and Zhang Shuai also take turns to go up the mountain from time to time to see, command and command, usually sleep in the house or bask in the sun.
Every rural girl cooks a good meal, which is the result of her parents' ear education since childhood. Wang Fang is no exception, sauerkraut hand-rolled noodles, wild vegetables braised noodles, stir-fried vegetables, stuffed mash, boiled rice wine are proficient, and people are also diligent, so the salary of Sanmao is not low, and Wang Fang is also very happy.
The two sisters are about the same age, and if outsiders have only met once, it is very likely that they will be confused. The only difference is that Wang Hua is relatively introverted and will not find anything to talk to people. Wang Fang's man is an authentic peasant who doesn't know a single word, except for his parents who have accumulated a solid family business for him and begged for a daughter-in-law, he has no other ability, he is a little slow to react, his body is not very strong, and he even shows a little hunched back.
Wang Fang has been married for almost two years, and her belly is not big, and she doesn't know whose problem it is. People in the same village sometimes joke about Wang Hua: Are you a good man? Can't find a place!
Wang Fang was also curious, could he really have a problem? Or do I have a question? However, the truth is that there must be a problem, otherwise if you have been married for more than a year, how can your body not react.
All rural girls are about the same, and after being introduced and approved by their parents, they are almost married. Unlike today's young people, what kind of love to talk about, there is a process of understanding, running-in, and adapting to each other, and then talking about marriage.
Wang Fang did not escape the fate of her parents, and the matchmaker said. The two of them can't say what they feel or how much affection they have, they live on fire, that's all.
