Tie Dan was young, and after digging for a while, he was a little tired, but when he turned his head, he saw several villagers squatting behind him, and he was so frightened that he sat on the ground.

"Iron Egg, what's wrong?"

Aunt Ma put down the sickle, turned her head and saw the villagers behind her, and was instantly annoyed: "What are you doing squatting behind us, look at what scared my son." ”

"Sister Ma, you are lucky to be able to dig up gold, we are thinking about following you, maybe we can dig up gold soon." An uncle smiled at Aunt Ma honestly, in fact, he planned in his heart that once Ma Yufen dug up the gold, he would take it for himself with others, and when the time came, everyone would insist that they had dug it themselves, and Ma Yufen couldn't tell even if he opened his mouth all over his body.

Caifeng took advantage of the fact that her mother was talking to everyone, secretly stepped back, and buried the broken gold hidden in the cuffs in advance.

Tang Tang said that he must let others dig up a little gold, so that they will believe that there is really gold in the wasteland.

Otherwise, they will target their mother.

"Erya, come, dig here."

Caifeng beckoned to a little girl in the village, she was Aunt Liu's daughter, because of yesterday's incident, Aunt Liu didn't dare to show up, and there was gold in the ground, so she let her daughter dig it when she thought about it.

Erya is only seven years old this year, wearing ill-fitting clothes, Chong Caifeng grinned, nodded, and came.

She didn't care what the adults were saying.

She only remembered that when she went out today, her mother said that as long as she could dig up gold, she would have chicken legs to eat at night.

The fragrant big chicken thigh, Erya is going to drool when she thinks about it.

Suddenly, she felt the scythe dig out something golden.

She had never seen gold, so she bent down to pick it up, blew away the mud on it, and asked Caifeng stupidly: "Sister Caifeng, is this gold?" ”

Caifeng saw that Erya had dug up the gold she had buried, and immediately stood up and shouted: "Look, Erya has dug up gold, there is really gold here." ”

This sentence made all the villagers who were working hard, as well as Village Chief Zhao, rush up in an instant.

"I'll see."

Village Chief Zhao took the gold the size of a fingernail from Erya's hand, and after confirming it repeatedly, he showed a wrinkled smile: "It is indeed gold, but I didn't expect it, this piece of land that has been barren for decades really has gold." ”

This sentence is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the villagers.

Turning around, he immediately excavated more devotedly.

"Village, village chief, grandpa, I dug up this gold, can you give it back to me?" Erya still wants to exchange gold for chicken thighs to eat.

"Erya, no matter who digs up the gold today, it must be handed over to me first, and I will distribute it uniformly when the time comes."

"But the gold was dug up by me, shouldn't it belong to me?"

"Erya, if you have to think so, if it weren't for the village chief's grandfather agreeing to you to dig for gold, you wouldn't be able to dig it, wouldn't you?"

Caifeng's words made Village Chief Zhao very satisfied, Ma Yufen did teach the two children very well, and she gave herself all the gold she dug up before yesterday.

After going back and weighing it, I estimated that it would not be a problem to exchange it for three or four taels of silver.

Erya thought about it, but still wanted to eat chicken legs: "But ......"

"Erya, don't talk about it, let's dig again." Caifeng saw that Village Chief Zhao's face sank, and pulled her away, "You are still young, and adult affairs can't be mixed, after you go back, tell your father and mother about this matter, and let your father and mother reason with the village chief and grandfather." ”

As soon as Er Ya thought about it, it made sense, so she continued to dig for gold in earnest.

No one spoke, only the scythe and the increasingly tired snorts.

Until, the eldest son of Village Chief Zhao, Zhao Hu dug up gold.

"Little tiger, good job."

It had only been less than two hours since two men had already dug up the gold, and he stood up and looked at the barren fields as far as the eye could see.

No, this barren field will completely rewrite the fate of his Zhao family!

By the time the sun went down, a total of five people had dug up the gold and put it together, and it was already more than half a tael.

Village Chief Zhao was very excited, if it weren't for the strong wind here, seeing everyone shivering from the cold, he really wanted to take everyone to dig all night.

"Okay, go down the mountain first, you remember, no one is allowed to say anything about today's events, if anyone leaks the slightest rumor, get out of Anxi Village for me." The villagers who came with them have lived in Anxi Village for generations, and if they are driven out of Anxi Village, it is equivalent to having no foundation, so everyone firmly keeps the words in mind.

"Village Chief Zhao, you go down the mountain first, I see that everyone has cut a lot of dead grass today, I want to tidy it up and take it home as firewood." When Aunt Ma said this, she naturally waited for them to leave and reported to Niu Tangtang herself.

"It's okay, then the three of you, remember to go down the mountain when you're done."

"Thank you, village chief."

Everyone who was very disgusted with Aunt Ma yesterday is very grateful to her now, and naturally will not doubt her motives.

"Caifeng, Tiedan, come over to help my mother, let's finish it early, go down the mountain early."

"Okay."

Village Chief Zhao turned his head, looked at the busy three, and nodded slightly: "Yufen is the one who can really live." ”

When she couldn't see the villagers at all, Aunt Ma took her children and went to the small courtyard.

Niu Tangtang, who was already standing at the door to greet him, saw the three of them coming in, and immediately went up to hug Caifeng: "Caifeng, you did a really beautiful job today." ”

"Tang Tang, don't you know, I'm scared to death."

Caifeng patted her chest, and when she saw that there were still a few people standing in the house, she looked shocked, and hurriedly pulled Niu Tangtang and asked in a low voice: "This is what my mother said, are you the person you picked up?" ”

"Yes, let's go, let's eat first, you must be hungry."

After eating, Tie Dan and the three children went to play next door.

Niu Xiaowang leaned on the door frame, watching the four children while listening to Niu Tangtang and their speeches.

is worthy of being a good bodyguard who is conscientious.

"Tang Tang, the gold is now in the hands of Village Chief Zhao, and it is estimated that it is impossible for him to return it."

"It's okay, a little broken gold, someone else gave it to me, I don't want money, I don't give him some advantage, how can he take the bait?" Niu Tangtang smiled, "Tomorrow, Village Chief Zhao will definitely bring more people to dig for gold, and I am also ready to release the news so that Yunlai Village will also know that when the time comes, it will be the sandpiper and the clam competing for the benefit of the fisherman." Aunt Ma, it's just that you were wronged and hurt a little yesterday. ”

"Tang Tang, don't take it to heart, since Caifeng's father left, there are all kinds of ugly things in the village, I want to listen to it once and get angry, I have long been angry." Aunt Ma teased herself, "Besides, I gave all the gold to Village Chief Zhao last night, at least for a long time later, Village Chief Zhao will remember me well." ”

"I now understand who Caifeng's cleverness learned from." Niu Tangtang gave a thumbs up to Aunt Ma, "Admire, admire." ”

"Tie Dan is also smart, Tie Dan will make a fortune, and he will earn a big house for his mother to live in in the future."

I don't know when, Tie Dan also came over, with a serious face.

The words of the child's words made everyone laugh.
