The sun still comes out of the east and sets in the west every day.

People have sorrow to cry, and God is merciless and does not rain.

The spring ploughing production of Xingfutun is in full swing, and the members have started the all-weather battle mode.

The suggestion of the yak was not adopted by the production team, but Captain Wang Kui withstood the pressure, according to the idea of the yak, did not dig the ground deeply, did not engage in dense planting, and saved some seeds to prepare for the drought to replenish the seedlings.

He contacted some young members to volunteer and dig a canal at the east end of the village in the morning and evening to store water for irrigation.

The People's Commune sent cadres who did not understand agricultural production and only knew how to urge the progress of spring ploughing, but Captain Wang Kui led the members to work steadily, intensively cultivate, and boldly try to soak and sow buds.

The members were frightened by last year's drought, and everyone took the initiative to take care of a large field in addition to their normal work.

The spring ploughing battle lasted for more than 20 days, only ushered in a sporadic light rain, this year's drought has been symptomatic, the members are worried, but there is no power to call for wind and rain, can only make preparations for the long stream in advance on the meal.

In this season, every household eats porridge with bud rice noodles and wild vegetables.

The members of the club hoped that the two cows on the dairy farm could produce more milk every day, but both cows were close to the dry milk stage, and the daily milk production dropped significantly.

The common people had to live a life of starvation every day.

Let's talk about the yak, after the spring ploughing, the work of the production team is not very busy, he and Dahan began to build a house.

He and Da Han first built a simple house out of adobe in the backyard, and the family moved into the simple house to live temporarily.

Entrusting Xiao Dunzi to make the beams, purlins, doors and windows, Yazi, Dahan and his father's big stubborn son work during the day, and start demolishing the old house sooner or later, and Yanzi's good brothers Li Gang and Yan Chuang also rushed to help when they had time.

Er Laizi occasionally came to visit, but he only ate and did not work.

Er Laizi was very depressed during this time, he didn't have the heart to go to the city, and he didn't have the heart to work in the production team, and he was always immersed in the grief of losing Baiqiu, and he couldn't find the direction of his life for a while, and he felt that it was boring to do anything.

The people of Tunzi saw Er Laizi idle every day, doing nothing, but they couldn't see the smile on his face.

After three days, the old house of the Yazi family was demolished, and the vacant land was to be dug to the hard soil layer and then backfilled with triple soil to make a floor and foundation.

Building a house is a new thing in Tunli, and there are people who help on the site every day, and there are also people who watch the excitement.

In the evening of that day, seven or eight people, including Yakzi, Dahan, Li Gang and Yan Chuang, were digging in the house, and Er Laizi and Tunli people were watching at the scene.

When the soil layer was dug to a depth of more than one meter, in the middle of the old house, Dahan went down with a spade, and suddenly touched something, which felt like wood.

How can there be wood in the soil?

Da Han felt strange, changed his position and continued to dig, and at the same depth, the shovel went down and touched the same thing again.

Dahan cleaned up the dirt and was surprised to find a wooden board gradually revealing under the soil, which was earthy red.

Could it be a coffin? Dahan is not easy to judge.

"Yakzi, come and see, what did you dig up?" Da Han called the yak to come and check.

Not only the yak, but all the people digging at the site came to the front, and Er Laizi also jumped in from the mound outside the field.

The exposed area of the wooden board is not large, and the more the wooden board is cleaned, the larger the exposed area of the wooden plank, and finally it is a wooden box, not a coffin.

Obviously, this wooden box was buried by man.

Since it is not a coffin, there must be a cat in it buried in the ground of the old house, and there may be valuables hidden in it, and everyone has thought of this problem.

He didn't let Dahan continue digging, and hurriedly called his father's stubborn son and asked him if he knew what this wooden box was for.

The big stubborn man looked at it, his face was dazed, he was puzzled, but he carefully inspected this wooden box, this wooden box seemed to be familiar to him, since he could remember, there was such a Nanmu box hidden in the house, which was full of gold, silver, jewelry and valuables.

Later, the family business was ruined, and the wooden box disappeared at some point, and the big stubborn thought that it was pawned and sold to someone else by his father along with the contents of it.

How did it end up here? The big stubborn had a hunch that there must be something valuable in the box.

The house was built twenty-five years ago for the family's hired long-term workers.

At that time, the big stubborn family still lived in the landlord's compound where Old Man Gao now lived.

Because the eldest brother of the eldest stubborn son gambled, smoked a lot, and spent several years ruining the family property, and owed huge debts, his father pawned the house and the title deed to the Jin family in order to repay the debts and save his life, leaving only these two thatched houses, since then, the three generations of the He family have been living here.

As for the wooden box buried in the ground, the big stubborn man knew nothing about it, and he never mentioned it to his father and mother when they were alive.

The big stubborn only knew that his father told him when he was dying that the house could be repaired if it was dilapidated, but it was not allowed to be given to outsiders at any time, and could only be passed on to the descendants of the He family, and at least for a few more decades.

It may be that when I built this house, I didn't think about the long term, and the foundation was dug shallowly, so I didn't expect the house to sink so quickly.

It has been fifteen years since the death of the stubborn father, and he has long forgotten his father's irrelevant entrustment, and now that he thinks back, his father originally confessed to dig two meters deep in the foundation, could it be that the secret is in this buried Nanmu box?

At this time, the surrounding fathers and villagers were still watching, and at the critical time, the big stubborn man turned his brain teaser and hurriedly made up a reason and ordered:

"Don't dig it, bury it quickly, this box is the things left by the ancestors, and the sun is not visible."

Everyone saw this scene, and the big stubborn man said, quickly snatched the shovel in the hand of the yak, and personally cultivated soil on the wooden box.

He suddenly understood, understood what his father meant, and hurriedly added soil to the box.

No one dared to speak, and Er Laizi shouted: "What kind of box is that?" What's in it? Dig it out and take a look. ”

"It's nothing to do with you, you shut up for me!" The big stubborn man angrily scolded the second laizi.

"Why is there nothing wrong with me? If there is a treasure in it, it should also have my share. Er Laizi grabbed a shovel and dug it: "Dig it out, I want to see it." ”

Da Han stepped forward and shook Er Laizi off: "Get out!" How old are you? ”

Er Laizi was not convinced, and shouted in front of everyone: "Baiqiu's bones are not cold, you treat me like this?" Baiqiu is dead, I am still your He family's uncle, if there is gold, silver and jewelry in that box, I must have a share. ”

There may really be gold and silver jewelry hidden in the wooden box, even if it is not gold and silver jewelry, it will be valuable, just by virtue of this wooden box, more than 20 years without decay, the lid of the box and copper plate and copper buckle, it is already very valuable, and the contents can be imagined.

"Erlaizi, your daughter-in-law is gone, but when will you be the uncle of the He family."

The onlookers were very curious and wanted to know what was going on, but after all, they were outsiders and couldn't intervene, thinking that what Er Laizi said was reasonable, so they encouraged him to dig out the box and open it.

"That's, I want to unload the mill and kill the donkey, no way!" Er Laizi relied on the agitation of everyone and insisted on digging out the wooden box.

"Dig it out, you have to dig it out, why are cats afraid of seeing people?"

The big stubborn scolded: "The affairs of our He family, it's not your turn to be mixed with the eight lambs, you get out of the way for me, even if you are my uncle, you are not the He family, this is the thing left by the ancestors, who dares to offend, the sky is thundering!" ”

Where is Er Laizi willing to believe this, seeing that the wooden box has been buried in the soil, he knows that the He family will not listen to him, and no matter how much he insists, it will be useless.

However, he blinked his eyes and had another idea.

Almost all the surface soil of the house was dug out, and the next step was to backfill the triple earth rammed foundation.

Sanhe soil is made of sand, clay and grass ash accumulated with the help of each family, and the soil has been prepared for a long time, and the soil is piled up in the back garden, and it is getting late, so these jobs can only be done tomorrow.

Let's say that the yak family dug the foundation for the floor and dug up the Nanmu box, and many people in the tun saw it.

Although the Nanmu box has been re-buried, but the burial is not deep, and the gentleman has to guard against the villain, so he asked Dahan to go back to the dairy farm to bring the sheepdog and the wolf back to look at the home.

There are no outsiders, and the big stubborn man told his family that he didn't know what the Nanmu box was for, but he had seen the box, and it must be the He family's thing.

Now that the box has been dug up, the whole family is worried about it if they don't see what is inside.

But to get out of the wooden box, it must be done in secret, and under no circumstances must it be seen by outsiders.

The house is dug more than one meter deep from the ground, surrounded by more than one meter high earthwork thrown out, jumping into the house to pick up the wooden box, not easy to be found.

Late at night, there was a dark silence in the tun, the big stubborn man ordered his wife Li Guixiang to patrol and sentry, he held a lamp, and the boy and Dahan held a shovel and an iron chisel, and the grandfather jumped into the house and started to act.

The Nanmu box was not completely dug out, but the lid of the box was completely exposed.

There is a copper lock on the wooden box, the copper lock has been rusted, the wood of the box is somewhat rotten, and the copper lock and the copper bar are pulled off without much effort.

Then it's time to witness the collection.

Yakzi and Dahan gently lifted the lid of the wooden box, and the big stubborn man moved the lamp over, and if he didn't look at it, he looked into the box, and the grandfather was stunned all of a sudden.

The Nanmu chest was four feet long and three feet wide, and it was stuffed with silver ingots, silver dollars, and copper coins, and in the center was a sword with a sheath.

He stepped forward and took out the sword, opened the silver ingots, silver dollars and copper coins, and found two square and delicate wooden boxes in the middle of the box, surrounded by exquisite jade, jade, porcelain and some old antiques.

Spreading out the silver ingots and silver dollars, the big stubborn man took out the two wooden boxes with great force, which seemed to be small, but the weight was not light, and it seemed that they contained more valuable things.

The big stubborn man hurriedly asked the yak and Dahan to take the two wooden boxes into the house and hide them.

Yakzi and Dahan obeyed the instructions and carefully took the wooden box into the house and hid it.
