Chapter 21 Donation of Bronze Tripods
Qiao Xinxin took Qiao Jiarong to find a place and sat down with a straw bunk. They watched the people next to them play while knocking on melon seeds.
After watching for a while, Qiao Xinxin found her classmate on the playground.
So, each of these students was given a small handful of melon seeds, and Qiao Jiarong joined the team of jumping rubber bands.
The two played until it was almost dark before going home, although most of the time Qiao Jiarong just watched, she was still very happy.
Qiao Xinxin's classmates all like this small but generous little sister, and they asked her to come back tomorrow! Qiao Xinxin was also happy to respond.
But on the way back, Qiao Xinxin told Qiao Jiarong: "Xiaorong, next time, don't take out all the delicious food at once." We have to save it for next time, otherwise they won't take you to play if we don't have anything to eat next time. ”
Is that so? Qiao Jiarong didn't know.
She used to be a person, even in the immortal cultivation world, she was also a person. I have no experience with other people, let alone friends.
In her previous life, she was isolated by others, and in the other world because she didn't need anyone to accompany her on the way to cultivating immortals.
No one knows if you're a friend or foe walking with you.
They will sell you at any time because of a high-level exercise, or a treasure. Even fellow disciples and brothers are no exception.
Qiao Xinxin saw that Qiao Jiarong looked incredulous, so she had to tell her what she had experienced.
Qiao Jiarong hurriedly nodded and said I understood.
The next day, Qiao Xinxin followed her parents and older siblings to her grandmother's house. They also invited Qiao Jiarong to go with them, but Qiao Jiarong refused, so she stayed at home with her newly recognized grandfather.
In previous years, Qiao Tieniu had a reunion dinner with Qiao Tiezhu's family on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the rest of the time was spent alone for the New Year.
This year is different, this year he has an extra granddaughter.
Not only did he buy a lot of candy, but he also learned several new dishes, just to make Qiao Jiarong eat well.
No, today Qiao Tieniu took a piece of pork belly.
I made red winding meat, and fished out the fish in the tank and killed them. This is what he caught in the fish pond in the village a few years ago, a total of three, and he is usually reluctant to eat them at all.
When Qiao Jiarong's household registration moved to his house a few years ago, he killed two entertaining guests.
Killed one more today, and now there are only two left in the water tank, and Qiao Tieniu plans to kill them when he builds a house.
Because Qiao Tieniu has no relatives, some have already worshiped the New Year on the first day of the new year.
Therefore, after the second year of junior high school, except for meeting a few comrades-in-arms with Qiao Tieniu, she followed Qiao Xinxin to play with her friends at other times.
After the New Year, the time will be soon, and soon it will be the Lantern Festival. Qiao Xinxin's brothers and sisters have also started school, and Qiao Jiarong is bored at home alone.
Because in winter, I stayed at the village chief's house again. Grandma Cao and a few aunts didn't have much to do, they wore sweaters at home every day, and looked at Qiao Jiarong by the way.
Qiao Jiarong knew that everyone was good for her, so she was also obedient to accompany them at home. Only at night after Qiao Xinxin fell asleep did he enter the space to practice for a while, and sometimes he would practice some cinnabar to learn to draw talismans.
After more than a month of experiments, Qiao Jiarong is now able to control the heat and refine cinnabar. Although the amount is smaller, there is still a harvest.
When she practices for a while, she will go to the mountains to find wild wolves, and it is best to use the blood of wild wolves to refine cinnabar. It's a pity that there are no spirit beasts here, otherwise the talisman drawn will have a better effect.
The weather gradually warmed up, and Qiao Tieniu's house began to be built. Knowing that he would have a new house to live in, Qiao Jiarong was looking forward to it and had to run over to see it every day.
She also specially found a book about feng shui from the space, and after studying it carefully, she set up a good luck array for the house.
If you use the lower grade spirit stone and the formation flag to bless it during the formation, there is no problem in maintaining it for fifty years.
Sure enough, the day after the good luck array was arranged. Those who dug the foundation dug up a bronze tripod from the Shang Dynasty, and no one knew about it at first.
It was discovered by Qiao Tieniu's comrade-in-arms Lao Lin, who had a relative in the Lin family who worked in the Cultural Relics Bureau. Usually the two families are close, and they know each other a little.
He looked at the statue as a relic, but he didn't know much about it. I went back and asked the relative who worked in the Cultural Relics Bureau, and the other party hurried over to confirm it as soon as he heard it.
When he saw the real thing, he realized that it was actually a cultural relic of the Shang Dynasty. Excited, he paid 5,000 yuan on the spot and bought the bronze tripod for the Cultural Relics Bureau.
Qiao Tieniu, as a veteran, can collect money from the state. The bronze tripod was donated on the spot.
At that time, the onlookers were all annoyed in their hearts, why didn't this Ding appear in their own homesteads! Otherwise, the five thousand pieces would be theirs.
Five thousand! They don't necessarily make that much money by digging in the ground all their lives. The one-armed Qiao Tieniu said that he would donate it, even if he collected less money!
No matter what the people in the village say, Qiao Tieniu is still living as usual. I still go to the new house every day to see the progress of the construction, and strictly check the quality of the house.
Qiao Jiarong is in favor of donating the bronze tripod, she is not short of money, and she can't use the bronze tripod, so it is better to donate it to the country to investigate strictly.
Lao Lin's relative was a reliable one, and after he took the bronze tripod back. asked the bureau to send a donation certificate to Qiao Tieniu, and also sent a reward of 500 yuan.
Although the difference between five hundred and five thousand is tenfold, something is better than nothing. This was what most people in the village thought, but Qiao Tieniu didn't care about it.
Originally, he didn't even want the five hundred yuan, but Lao Lin persuaded him to accept it. Lao Lin told him: Now that you have a granddaughter, you have to support your family. And this house, not just after it is built, but also to decorate and buy furniture.
Qiao Tieniu then remembered to buy furniture and decoration, if he lived by himself. Just plaster it with lime, you don't need to be too particular at all, but this house is built for Xiao Rong, and you can't just do that.
Thinking of this, Qiao Tieniu accepted the five hundred yuan.
Since he thinks about decoration and buying furniture, Lao Lin happens to be here again. Qiao Tieniu handed over this matter to Lao Lin, after all, it was more convenient for Lao Lin to live in the county.
The craftsmen built the house very quickly, and it took only 40 days to build five large brick houses. Three main houses, a kitchen and a granary.
As for the firewood house, just find a random place in the yard to build a canopy, as long as it doesn't leak rain.
After the house was built, the decorator contacted by Lao Lin brought a carpenter to the door. They work together, decorate the decoration, and hit the furniture.
Because Qiao Jiarong is a girl, Qiao Tieniu designed a large bed and a very large cabinet for her room, which are specially used to store clothes and shoes, all painted with pink paint.
Although Qiao Jiarong doesn't like pink very much, he doesn't hate it either.
The rooms in the countryside are all large, each room is sixty or seventy square. Qiao Tieniu also used the remaining space to build a small study room for her to use when she went to school in the future.
The study is also equipped with a table lamp, which is not easy to see in the countryside, which shows Qiao Tieniu's concern for Qiao Jiarong's room.
