Chapter 6: Treasure Hunting

Xiao Hong looked at them with a pale face: "Second grandfather, second grandmother, third grandmother, I don't want to marry someone like that, I'm also afraid that my father will beat me, can I go to my mother's side for a few days tomorrow?" ”

She didn't expect that the old people also suspected that their father was unreliable.

Then it makes sense that she wants to go to her mother's.

Second Grandma Xiao nodded when she heard this: "Yes, while you are on summer vacation now, it's good to go and live there for a few days." ”

"I don't think it's better to let Julan come here." After speaking, Xiao San's grandmother looked at Xiao Erye: "Second brother, after all, we are in the next room, we can manage this kind of thing once, but we can't manage it every time, otherwise I am afraid that I will be scolded for being old and nosy." ”

Second Master Xiao took two puffs of cigarette, and sighed solemnly with a slightly wrinkled face: "Jianming, you go and make a call and let her come here." ”

It's 1990, and some remote villages don't have electricity, and telephones are even rarer.

Of course, there is no telephone in their village.

If you want to make a call, you have to go to the post and telecommunications office in the town to call the post and telecommunications office in the village, and ask someone to help spread the word, or ask someone to call back.

Of course, this is all about running expenses.

But it's also the quickest and most convenient way.

Otherwise, they are afraid that Shantou Village is a hundred miles away from Zhai Village, and there is no direct car, so the traffic is really inconvenient.

Xiao Jianming responded.

Xiao Hong was really moved in her heart at the moment, and bowed to them and thanked them.

She could think that she didn't resist in her dream, and only set a few tables of wine on the man's side, and these elders must have thought that they were willing, so they didn't stand up for themselves.

Now all this is different from the dream.

She will try to change her destiny.

By the time she got home, Liu Meijuan had already left.

She closed the doors and windows, began to scoop out the remaining water in the tank, spread straw on the outside of the tank, and found two flat poles to stuff under the tank.

It's a pity that the flat pole is made of bamboo, and the strength is not good.

She found the deadbolt of the top door again, and this time with more force, she really pried up the big water tank, and it fell smoothly on the straw floor outside.

There was still a tamped muddy floor under the water tank, and she found a hoe and hoeed it a few times, and sure enough, she hit the stone.

After digging the dirt floor, two bluestone slabs were revealed.

It took all her strength to hook up a piece of the bluestone slab that was not very thick, and she smelled a strange smell.

The kraft paper and urea bag wrapped on the outside of the small wooden box have been aged, but the small wooden box inside is still fine.

She wiped the outside of the box with a rag, found a vice and unscrewed the small lock, and couldn't help but gasp when she opened it.

Inside are ten large yellow croakers neatly piled up, as well as two pairs of gold bracelets and a pair of jade bracelets.

Maybe it's because it's been buried in the ground for too long, and the big yellow croaker doesn't have a golden sway, but it is dusty, but in your hand, it's heavy.

But that pair of jade bracelets has a delicate texture and is particularly good for planting water.

Xiao Hong couldn't hide her joy and took the wooden box to the room and stuffed it under the bed.

She wasn't prepared to use the windfall for now.

According to the scene in her dream book, after a few years, the economy began to develop at a sustained and rapid pace, and the currency also swelled greatly, and the big yellow croaker could be more valuable.

It's only 90 years now, and the salary of a carpenter in their village is only 3 yuan and 5 a day, but by the end of the 90s, the salary of a carpenter is almost 35 yuan.

Now workers earn only 100 yuan a month, and by the end of the 90s, private enterprises are blooming everywhere, and as long as they are down-to-earth and willing to work, ordinary workers can earn one or two thousand a month.

And now that criminal gangs are rampant in some places outside, and public order is chaotic in some places, she feels that she should not rush to open a shop in the city to make money, and wait until the end of the nineties, when the society is more stable, it is not too late for her to go out to make money.

She dreamed that her life in the book was not until she was thirty-eight years old when she had a car accident, and she tried to live to eighty-eight in this life.

It took a lot of effort for her to restore the bluestone slab and the water tank, and then she went outside to pick up five loads of water and came back to fill the water tank.

There is only one well in Shantou Village, and there is a small stream not far from the well, and there are villagers who wash clothes or carry water all day and night.

When everyone saw Xiao Hong, they couldn't help but ask curiously about what happened before.

Xiao Hong knew that everyone had no malicious intentions, just gossip, but she didn't say anything more, and she seemed a little 'overwhelmed'.

After all, she was not a person who could speak well, and she was shy, and now she still has to maintain her personality.

In the afternoon, Aunt Xiao came over: "Your second uncle has already called and asked people to bring the message over, and your second grandmother asked you to go over for dinner." ”

"Hey, it's hard second uncle." Xiao Hong thought that she would have to trouble Xiao Erye and them in the future, and there were still a lot of dishes left at noon.

She said very sensibly: "Second aunt, it's hot now, if you don't eat the rest of the dishes, I'm afraid it's going to be bad, if you don't dislike it, then I'll bring it over and eat it together, right?" ”

Second Aunt Xiao followed her over, lifted the vegetable cover and took a look, and saw that most of the plate of roast chicken, pig's head meat and braised pork, the fish was almost eaten, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, there are so many good dishes, it's really willing, Liu Meijuan has really made a lot of money." ”

Although I won't be hungry now, the people in the village are reluctant to eat meat often, and eggs and duck eggs are considered meat dishes.

She was not polite, and beckoned Xiao Hong to bring them all, so as not to make these good dishes even more distressed because they broke overnight because of the hot weather.

Tsu Village.

The village is located on the South Mountain.

Wu Julan returned home with a solemn face, and saw Xiao Fang busy in front of the stove, so she went to light the fire: "Why didn't your sister light the fire at home?" ”

"I asked Yanyan to go to grandma's house to borrow some salt." Xiao Fang said with a smile: "I forgot to buy salt at home, so I will take my sister to the town to buy some salt and soybean oil." ”

Cover the pot again: "Mom, don't burn it, the winter melon will be simmered for a while, the weather is hot today, and the cold rice at noon doesn't need to be hot, right?" ”

"Hmm!" Wu Julan responded unconsciously, still stuffing the wooden block into the stove in her hand, still thinking about what Zhao Gang brought back to herself.

The last time she saw Xiao Hong, it was when Grandma Xiao died last year, and the Xiao family specially came to say that Xiao Fang would go back to see the old man for a ride.

She thought that her ex-mother-in-law was good to her when she was alive, and she also wanted to see her eldest daughter, so she went to the funeral with her.

The distance between the two places is too far, the carriage and horses are inconvenient, and it takes most of the day to go there, and there are many things to be busy at home, so she has not been there again.

But in her heart, she often thinks about her daughter who is not by her side.

Now call over there and let me go to Ming'er, saying that Xiao Jianhua's family told Xiao Hong about his family, and Xiao Hong didn't want to make trouble.

After Wu Julan heard the news, her heart felt like there was a fire burning, how old was Xiao Hong, and she was in a hurry to urge her to get married?

Is Xiao Jianhua's current wife unable to tolerate her? Or is it for the bride price?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and she couldn't wait to bring her daughter back now.
