When I got home, Guo's father hadn't come back yet, and Guo's mother was busy in the kitchen.

From a distance, Guo Qingyang smelled the aroma of duck meat in the pot, and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva in his mouth, and then he felt a wave of extreme hunger surging up from his stomach, and he couldn't suppress it anymore.

"Where have you gone, and now you're back?"

Guo's mother was cutting chili peppers, and when she saw Guo Qingyang coming back, she asked casually.

"Oh, I'll go to the ancestral house."

Guo Qingyang responded, and a pair of eyes swept around the kitchen, looking for something to satisfy his hunger. Although the duck meat in the pot has exuded a rich aroma, the chili pepper has not been put in at the moment, and the duck meat is definitely not cooked, but there is nothing to eat.

Guo's mother lifted the lid of the pot with one hand, put the green pepper segments on the cutting board into the pot, and instructed while stirring:

"What are you going to do over there, those old houses are about to collapse, it's not safe."

Guo Qingyang thought of the six yellow rosewood load-bearing columns that he had worked so hard to replace, and couldn't help but show a smile on his face, and said in a low voice:

"Mom, what do you guess I found in the ancestral house? Our family is about to get rich! ”

"What fortune?" Guo's mother was unmoved, glanced at Guo Qingyang and said, "That old house has long been left with only an empty shelf, and the little belongings that your grandfather saved back then have long been divided by the local tyrants, what else is left?" ”

After mixing the fresh green pepper segment with the duck meat in the pot, and then covering the pot again, Guo Ma continued:

"If there was anything of value, would our house still be like this? Will your dad be so tired that his back is hunched? ”

As soon as the words were spoken, Guo's mother's mouth couldn't stop:

"You said that you are also in your twenties, and you can't find a job well, what's the use of thinking about these things all day long? Look at the son of your brother Fusheng next door, who is two years younger than you, and he has been admitted to the civil service this year......"

Guo Qingyang wailed in his heart, knowing that it would be like this.

Since he was a child, Guo Qingyang has been spurred by his mother with "other people's children", but he has never become a "other person's child" in the mouths of other parents.

"Stop, stop!" Guo Qingyang hurriedly raised his hand, interrupted his mother's nagging, and said seriously, "Listen to me first, I really found a wonderful baby." ”

After his mother stopped what she was doing and looked at it, Guo Qingyang continued to whisper excitedly:

"Mom, do you remember that the old house had six load-bearing columns? If I'm not mistaken, these six pillars are all mahogany! You don't know about mahogany, do you? I met a friend on the Internet, who makes mahogany furniture, and this thing is really valuable, and the cheapest one has to be hundreds of thousands of tons! ”

"What! A broken piece of wood also costs hundreds of thousands of tons? ”

At this time, Guo's mother was really taken aback, in her consciousness, what wood is not all the same, how can there be hundreds of thousands of tons of things? Those rich people really burn too much money!

"Yoko, are you really sure that the six load-bearing pillars in the old house are the mahogany you are talking about?"

This time, Guo's mother couldn't calm down anymore, and hurriedly trotted a few steps to the courtyard outside to see that there was no one outside, and then lowered her voice and asked: "Then in this way, aren't the load-bearing pillars of our old house worth hundreds of thousands?" ”

"Of course!" Guo Qingyang nodded very affirmatively, "At least hundreds of thousands, it is very likely to be worth millions!" ”

Guo Qingyang didn't dare to tell his mother the truth, with the quality of the six rosewoods, Guo Qingyang's own estimate was more than 10 million, such a huge amount, he was afraid that his mother's heart would not be able to stand it.

"Oh my God!"

Sure enough, even if the number of millions came out, Guo's mother almost stopped breathing, she patted her chest a few times, and her breathing became rapid.

calmed down her emotions, Guo's mother looked at Guo Qingyang with a solemn face, and instructed:

"Yoko, Mom told you, you must not talk about this matter!"

The older generation of Chinese people have the idea of hiding wealth, whether rich or poor, they don't want others to know what their family background is, and Guo's mother is obviously not exempt from vulgarity.

"Don't worry, Mom, how can I say such a thing?"

Although Guo Qingyang didn't care about this issue, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to say it.

Guo's mother relaxed a little, and then thought of another question, and her face immediately became sad again.

"By the way, Yoko, how are we going to sell this thing? We don't know anyone, what if we let people get pitted, tens of millions of things, then we can't die? ”

"Don't worry, Mom, I have my own way. Where to put the price of mahogany, it will not make people pit. ”

Guo Qingyang's face was confident, and he comforted him repeatedly.

In the following time, Guo's mother's mood fell into an inexplicable anxiety, not only glad that the ancestors of the Guo family had left a rich fortune, but also worried that they would not be able to find a way to sell and be cheated, and they were afraid that if the news spread, it would be difficult for their family to live in peace in the future.

It is said that no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, once the news of the Guo family's fortune leaks out, it is inevitable that some relatives who can't beat the eight poles on weekdays will come to the door to seek "help".

Guo Qingyang didn't have this trouble, just waited for the duck meat in the pot to be cooked, and then feasted.

Towards the evening, Guo's father returned home from outside, and before he put down the sprayer he was carrying, he was pulled aside by Guo's mother, and after muttering, the expression on his face immediately became the same as Guo's mother.

"Well, if I knew that I would have waited until the evening to talk about it, this dinner seems to be safe to eat."

Guo Qingyang rolled his eyes, and regretted that he had just told his mother the news.

Sure enough, at dinner, Guo's father and Guo's mother didn't have much to eat, Guo's father didn't even drink the two taels of wine necessary for dinner on weekdays, and the second elder hurriedly pulled a bowl of rice, and pulled Guo Qingyang towards the ancestral house.

Guo Qingyang touched his unfilled stomach, and could only follow his parents to the ancestral house again with a wry smile.

When he arrived at the ancestral house, when Guo Qingyang used a knife to cut off a thin piece of wood veneer from a load-bearing column, revealing the reddish-brown heartwood with black stripes of yellow rosewood inside, and smelling a faint fragrance at the end of his nose, Guo's father and Guo Ma finally believed that their family was really going to make a fortune!

Before leaving, Guo's father carefully grabbed a handful of ash on the ground and wiped the heartwood exposed by the yellow rosewood, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at his father's careful actions, Guo Qingyang wanted to say: You don't have to be like this, in this remote mountain village, even if you go out and shout at the top of your voice, saying that the pillars of your ancestral house are worth hundreds of thousands, no one will believe it at all.

On the way back home from the ancestral home, when Guo's father and mother greeted the villagers, the expressions on their faces were a little unnatural, for fear that others would find out about the secret.

Although Guo Qingyang understood this, he was also speechless.

If your second elder knew that these six pieces of wood were actually worth more than a million, but would have to be multiplied more than ten times, wouldn't you have to move to your ancestral house tonight?
