Chapter 62: Treasure Hunting
On another sunny morning, Xiao Qi went to dig wild vegetables with Ah Fu and Pear Blossom.
Ah Fu led the family's sheep by the way, and also hugged the small plank.
When they got to the field, Ah Fu tied the sheep to the tree to graze, and the three of them went to dig wild vegetables together.
The slopes are covered with green grass, and the breeze blows, and the grass sways in the wind like a dance.
Ah Fu dug up the wild vegetables for a while, then took out a small wooden board to draw, and the sheep bleated under the tree.
The camelina is very vigorous, a large piece of it, it is easy to find, Xiaoqi and Pear Blossom quickly dug up half a basket.
The children who were digging wild vegetables nearby knew that Xiao Qi was learning martial arts from the old man of the Hua family, so they asked Xiao Qi to teach them a few tricks.
Erdan was the first to run over: "Xiao Qi, you teach me kung fu, and I'll help you dig wild vegetables." ”
Xiao Qi: "I don't need wild vegetables, I've dug a lot, and it's enough for my family to eat at night." Now the wild vegetables are very tender and delicious, and you have worked so hard to dig them, and you will take them home. ”
The stinky duck egg also ran over, and directly grabbed half of the wild vegetables in his basket and put it in Xiao Qi's basket: "Xiao Qi, you teach us quickly." ”
Xiao Qi thought about it, and played a set of five poultry plays for everyone to see, in one go, in exchange for warm applause from his friends.
Xiao Qi initially learned a little bit of Wufowl Opera from the doctor in Xiao Zhao Village, although he didn't learn it, he was very interested. Later, she asked Hua Xi'er to help her find a complete picture of the five poultry operas from the book, and the two of them studied and studied together, Hua Xi'er said that if the children in the village learned the five poultry operas, it would be spectacular to dance together.
After the performance, Xiao Qi stepped on a hard object.
"Hey, what's in the field?" Xiao Qi looked down and saw that there was a small silver awl-like thing stuck in the soil, so he dug it out, took it in his hand and took a closer look, this thing was silver, one end was thick and the other was thin, and there was a very small red stone inlaid on it, which felt very special.
Pear Blossom threw away the small shovel in her hand, took the thing from Xiao Qi's hand and looked at it carefully for a while, and said to Xiao Qi in surprise: "Could this be a silver hairpin, I saw some well-dressed women in the town wearing silver hairpins on their heads, and the shape is very similar to the one in your hand." ”
The friends were stunned, gathered around Xiao Qi and the two of them to carefully look at the thing called the silver hairpin, and played for a while before they each carried their baskets home.
Xiao Qi took out the things and showed them to Niu when he got home, Niu took it in his hand and looked at it, and hurriedly shouted to Liu Dahe: "Dahe, come over and see if this is silver?" ”
Liu Dahe took the hairpin and broke it with his hand, it was very soft, and said in surprise: "That's right, it's a silver hairpin, it's quite thick, and there is a red gem inlaid on it, which should be quite valuable." ”
Niu Shi took Xiao Qi's hand and asked her to sit beside her: "Tell my mother quickly, how did you get this thing?" ”
Xiao Qi talked about digging wild vegetables today.
Niu couldn't help but sigh: "Our Xiaoqi is really lucky, he actually dug up such a valuable hairpin." ”
Ah Fu: "My sister is blessed, and she can dig a baby hairpin when digging wild vegetables." ”
The whole family was delighted, and eating wild vegetables for dinner was as fragrant as eating meat.
After dinner, Liu Dahe polished the silver hairpin with fine sandstone, and the silver hairpin immediately became shiny and shiny, and the ruby on it reflected the oil lamp and shone brightly, which was particularly beautiful.
Xiao Qi took the hairpin from Liu Dahe's hand and inserted it into Niu's head: "Dad, look at it, how beautiful it is to insert this hairpin on my mother's head." ”
Liu Dahe nodded and praised again and again, and the ruby on the hairpin head shone brightly, reflecting Liu Dahe's eyes.
Niu blushed, pulled out the hairpin and reinserted it into his hair, and smiled very happily at the blurred bronze mirror at home.
After dinner, he walked a hundred steps, can live ninety-nine, the second egg is a small chatter, after dinner, he went to the village for a walk, and soon the entire Liujia Village knew that Xiao Qi dug wild vegetables and got a baby hairpin.
The women came to Xiao Qi's house one after another, and Xiao Qi's family became unprecedentedly lively, and the women stared at the hairpin on Niu's head with round eyes, and gathered around Niu's to praise constantly.
"Chrysanthemum, I see that the silver hairpin you are wearing on your head is quite thick, and there is a gem inlaid on it, which must be worth a lot of money."
"I've only seen the Hua family wear silver hairpins in our village, but I didn't expect you to wear chrysanthemums so quickly, looking like a rich wife, so imposing."
"Chrysanthemum, can you take it down and give me a closer look, I haven't seen any silver, and I feel like the sky is the sky when my family can save dozens of dollars all year round."
"Chrysanthemum, you are blessed to have given birth to such a blessed daughter."
Niu Shi heard too many compliments, and woke up the next morning with a smile on his face, and killed the chickens at home early in the morning, facing Liu Dahe: "You should have killed a chicken to make up for the children, Dahe, you have also lost weight, and when the chicken is stewed, you can also drink more chicken soup." ”
Liu Dahe felt that life had become as beautiful as when he first got married.
The old patriarch didn't know where to hear about Niu's hairpin early in the morning, and it is said that there was a small red gemstone on the hairpin.
The old patriarch trembled his beard and called his son Dayu: "Dayu, you quickly call Dahe over, remember to ask him to bring the hairpin on Niu's head." ”
When the chicken soup was still in the pot and not boiled, Liu Dayu, the son of the old patriarch, walked in.
"Is Big River at home?"
Liu Dahe was still immersed in happiness, and greeted the big fish with a smile on his face: "Brother Big Fish, you came just in time, the chrysanthemum stewed chicken soup, and then you will drink a bowl before leaving." ”
Liu Dayu wanted to drink chicken soup very much, but his father's tone just now seemed to be very anxious, he didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly said: "My father asked you to go, and by the way, bring your daughter-in-law's new hairpin." ”
Niu had just gotten such a favorite thing, and he was very reluctant to pull off the hairpin and hand it to Liu Dahe.
Liu Dahe followed the big fish to the patriarch's house, handed the hairpin to the old patriarch, and the old patriarch pinched the silver hairpin in his hand and was excited: "Big fish, small fish, you two go out first, I have something to say to Dahe." ”
After everyone else had left the house, the old patriarch carefully put the hairpin on the table, closed the door of the house, took a red sandalwood box out of the inner room, and opened the copper lock with green rust.
The old patriarch took out a yellowed piece of paper from the box and said to Liu Dahe: "Dahe, look-"
Liu Dahe looked over and found that the paper was drawn of a young woman, and the hairpin on her head was very similar to Xiao Qide's.
Old patriarch: "Xiao Qi picked up this hairpin and didn't know if it was providence." This portrait was given to me by my grandfather, and the woman on it is the hero who saved our whole clan, and the name of Phoenix Town is from her......"
At the same time, there was a treasure hunt craze in Liujia Village, and the sky was about to dawn, and the adults and children in the village took hoes, shovels and the like to go to the place where Xiao Qi dug wild vegetables yesterday to hunt for treasure.
Liujia Village has set off an unprecedented enthusiasm for treasure hunting, which has lasted for several years, and the slopes outside and the yard at home are full of good places for treasure hunting.
The yard of Rika was also turned over by Rika with a small shovel.
When Xiao Qi went to the opposite side, he found that the yard of the Pear Blossom family was in a mess, so he asked, "Sister Pear Blossom, this is the ...... in your yard."
Pear Blossom turned the ground to see if there were any treasures in the yard, but she was a little embarrassed to say this, so she said, "I turned over the ground and prepared to plant some vegetables." ”
Xiao Qi: "I'm going to plant two gourds in my yard, when the gourds are tender, you can stir-fry vegetables or make soup to eat, and when they are ripe, take out the seeds inside to fill water or wine, Grandpa Hua said to help me find the kind of gourd seeds that grow very big." ”
Pear Blossom nodded and said, "When the time comes, give me a few gourd seeds, and I want to plant them too." ”
Xiao Qi stepped forward and high-fived Pear Blossom: "Okay, that's it." ”
