Chapter 277: Digging for Treasure
Chu Xuan put down the thick rolling pin in his hand, took the stack of money, and his eyes were full of curiosity, "Hurry up and tell me, how did you earn it?" ”
The corners of Mu Chenze's mouth rose, and he pointed to the courtyard door, "I'll go and plug in the door first." ”
The rough rolling pin in his hand was not put down, and he walked towards the courtyard door with it.
Walking to the gate of the courtyard, I suddenly remembered that Aunt Li borrowed a shovel, "Daughter-in-law, have you returned the shovel borrowed by the Li family?" ”
If you don't pay it back, you can't plug the door, or you'll have to come back and open it again.
Chu Xuan responded softly, "It's still around five o'clock in the afternoon, Aunt Li has always counted when she speaks." ”
"That's good."
Mu Chenze quickly plugged in the courtyard door.
Returning to his daughter-in-law, with a proud face, "Brother Lin and I partnered to buy a carriage of New Year's goods from the city, and sold half of it at the county market, and Brother Lin's family helped sell the other half." Earning 1,630 yuan, Brother Lin and I will each share 815 yuan, give you 800 yuan, and I will keep 15 yuan for pocket money. Don't tell our mother about this. ”
Chu Xuan gave a thumbs up, "My husband is really business-minded. But it's better to talk to our mother about this. ”
"Let's take care of our own profits and losses, do we still have to tell my mother?"
"Of course, if my mother learns from others that you are doing business with Brother Lin, what will my mother think? What will the eldest brother and sister-in-law think? Also, you'd better ask your eldest brother if you want to invest in this business. ”
"I'll talk to my mother tomorrow. In fact, I privately asked my eldest brother if he wanted to invest in selling New Year's goods, and the eldest brother said that he was too busy, and after delivering the goods every day, he had to go to his father-in-law's house to help make fried goods, and he was busy making some money at this time of the year. ”
Chu Xuan patted his head, almost forgetting that in his previous life, the Fu family would make fried goods at this time of year, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law went to help, and by the way, they earned their wages.
Before, the sister-in-law said that no matter how busy she was, she would go to the sea, but Chu Xuan didn't care too much, but now it seems that after catching the sea, the sister-in-law will go to her mother's house to help.
Every day, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are busier than her and Tatsuzawa.
Tonight was supposed to go to the cram school for the exam, most of the students in the cram school in the evening have a work unit, close to the end of the year to catch up with the production, too many students due to overtime leave, the cram school teacher called the village office in advance to inform that the cram school on the night of the previous year was suspended, and the exam will continue after the year.
In this way, Mu Chenze and his wife have more time to make meat floss, plus dig pits on the cement floor.
After beating this batch of cooked meat, about ten o'clock in the evening, no one will pass by here, and you can smash the concrete floor.
Tomorrow, during the day, use blankets, paper, and meat floss to cover up the destroyed ground, and inform Chu Dashan to climb over the wall tomorrow night to stay overnight, and then climb over the wall to go out when it is close to dawn, and the acting will be a full set.
Of course, after digging out the gold bars, he had to rush to make a batch of fake gold bars and let Chu Dashan take them to the person behind the scenes.
At the thought of making fake gold bars, Chu Xuan was a little difficult.
Mu Chenze seemed to see what his daughter-in-law was thinking, "Xiao Xuan, you don't have to worry about the fake gold bars, I have a way." ”
Chu Xuan hugged him gently, "Ze, I found that you really know me." ”
Kiss him on the cheek.
What Mu Chenze couldn't stand the most was his daughter-in-law's initiative.
At the age of the strong blood, the sky will fall and it will have to be welfare.
The bedding and sheets here are clean, I will stay here tonight, I deliberately burned the kang in advance, and there is hot water in the stove room......
Two hours later, Chu Xuan was so tired that he fell asleep.
Mu Chenze got up and went to the yard to smash the concrete floor.
The tools were already ready, with hammers and pickaxes.
The thumping sound didn't wake Chu Xuan.
After more than three hours, he really got to dig something.
It's a big wooden box that's worn out.
When the lid is opened, there is a box wrapped in oiled paper.
Mu Chenze opened the oiled paper bag and saw a leather box with a password.
Pick up an iron pickaxe and try to break the combination lock.
suddenly remembered some cases that Min Yi had told him before, and immediately gave up this idea.
In case the combination lock is broken and detonated, it will be life-threatening.
Mu Chenze brushed the outside of the box clean, and then carried the box into the bedroom and woke up Chu Xuan.
As soon as Chu Xuan opened his eyes, he saw the cowhide box on the ground.
He asked in a daze, "Ze, when did we have one more box like this?" ”
The corners of Mu Chenze's mouth showed a good-looking arc, "I dug it out and brushed it clean, I'm amazing, right?" ”
Chu Xuan instantly sobered up and looked at him with a look of adoration, "Amazing!" You're amazing! I can't help much, come and sit down, I'll relax. ”
Smashing the cement floor and digging a pit is all hard work, and she knows that Chen Ze must be tired.
Facing his daughter-in-law's care, Mu Chenze was willing, "I'll relax later, I'll go and fill in the pit first." You study this lockbox first, don't force open it, I'm worried about blowing it up. Min Yi has told me a lot of such things before. ”
Chu Xuan's gaze fell on the snake-shaped pattern on the front of the cowhide box.
How does it feel familiar?
She'd seen this box in her last life!
I saw it in Feng Chunhua's stove room.
At that time, Feng Chunhua used it to hold corn cobs and firewood.
What is the password of the combination lock, Chu Xuan doesn't know. Because Feng Chunhua has never used a combination lock, there are always a lot of corn cobs and firewood in the box, and it can't be completely closed at all.
Thinking that the gold bars in the cowhide box were taken away, Feng Chunhua was reluctant to throw away the cowhide box, so she put it in the stove room as a container for corn cobs and the like.
However, the number on the combination lock is always the four numbers 1942.
Chu Xuan wanted to give it a try.
Quickly get dressed, put on your shoes, and walk over to the leather suitcase.
Reaching out to touch the combination lock, he was stopped by Mu Chenze.
"Daughter-in-law, study carefully first, don't be in a hurry to touch the combination lock. Didn't you hear what I was telling you just now? There's probably a ...... there's fried in there."
Chu Xuan's face was very calm, "I know, Ze, don't worry, I'll be fine." I remember all the dream words that Feng Chunhua said before, including the password for the combination lock is 1942. ”
Mu Chenze held her hand tightly, "What if not?" This box must not be Feng Chunhua's, otherwise she would not have given you the old mansion in the first place. The dream words she said could also be the password for other boxes. We can't afford to take that risk. I'll go fill in the pit, clean up the yard, and when it dawns tomorrow, I'll take the box to Min Yi and ask him to find a professional to enter the code to open the box. ”
Chu Xuan couldn't directly say the things of her previous life, and the password of 1942 was her guess, and finally agreed with Mu Chenze's suggestion.
"Good! Leave it to a professional tomorrow to open the combination lock. I'll go with you to fill in the hole. ”
Mu Chenze felt sorry for his daughter-in-law, "No." I'll just be alone, and you can lie down again. ”
Chu Xuan patted the back of his hand, "You feel sorry for me, and I feel sorry for you." It's just a hole, I can't be tired, besides, you leave me alone to guard the box, I'm not afraid that I can't help it for a while, enter the password to open the box? ”
Mu Chenze was really afraid, "Daughter-in-law, you dress warmly, stand in the yard and watch me fill the pit." ”
Chu Xuan covered his mouth and smiled, "I like to fill the pit with you, men and women are not tired of working together." ”
In the end, Mu Chenze couldn't screw Chu Xuan, and the two of them took shovels to fill the pit together.
As soon as he filled in a few shovels of soil, Chu Xuan suddenly stopped, "Do we want to dig to the side, maybe there are other good things." (End of chapter)
