Chapter 21: Digging up gold and silver antiques
After listening to Gu Yuehuai's words, Gu Zhifeng and Gu Tinghuai were a little dumbfounded.
They originally thought that Gu Yuehuai was ignorant, and she usually only knew how to eat well and dress well, but they didn't expect that she was not ignorant of the situation at home, so she just looked at it and told her about the family's debts.
Gu Zhifeng didn't know how to speak, so Gu Tinghuai said: "Our family owes seventy to the uncle and seventy to the second aunt, adding up to one hundred and forty yuan." ”
Speaking of this number, Gu Tinghuai's tone was very heavy.
In the four seasons of the year, the big labor production brigade that points to the New Year's food and grain distribution, 140 yuan, is already the income of three strong laborers for a whole year without eating or drinking.
Moreover, there are not many people in the village who can save money, and occasionally taking out three or five yuan is considered a good family.
Gu Yuehuai stretched out her hand to hold Gu Zhifeng's hand, and said softly: "Dad, we work together as a family, the debt will always be repaid, and the black market really doesn't want to go anymore, I can not eat fine grains and wear white net shoes, but I can't live without my father and brother." ”
"If you steal to the black market again, then I will marry myself far away and never come back!"
Her words were categorical, although Gu Zhifeng was a little skeptical that her daughter could get married, but listening to the worry and care in the depths of her words, her heart was warm, and she promised again and again: "Don't go, don't go, never go again!" ”
Gu Tinghuai had a smile on his face and handed Gu Yuehuai an expression of "You are still amazing".
Gu Yuehuai didn't smile, she knew that the burden of the family was all on her father's shoulders, he looked happy, and the actual pressure was very high, although he promised her, but maybe he would sneak to the black market again.
She must seize the time to earn money and ease the livelihood of her family.
"Okay Dad, you can sleep, you definitely didn't have a good rest yesterday." Gu Yuehuai asked Gu Zhifeng to lie down and tucked the quilt corner for him, he was really tired, he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow, and he made a loud snoring sound.
"Brother, come out." Gu Yuehuai cautiously got off the kang and beckoned to Gu Tinghuai.
The brother and sister left the house.
Gu Yuehuai didn't beat around the bush, and said directly: "Brother, do we still have some seasonal vegetable seeds?" ”
Gu Tinghuai was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "Vegetable seeds? What are you going to plant? ”
"Just set up a vegetable patch in the back room and plant some cabbage and spinach, we can also add vegetables in winter, right?" Gu Yuehuai blinked, and even believed herself when she lied.
Where is she to open up a piece of land to grow vegetables? I just hit the idea on the ground in the back room where gold and silver antiques were buried.
In her previous life, Tian Jing just whispered a few words with her second brother, and then occupied the wasteland behind her house, ready to set aside a piece to grow seasonal vegetables, but she had a good life, so she dug up the gold and silver antiques buried by the ancestors of the Gu family.
Gu Tinghuai nodded: "What Nan Nan said is true, but I have to go to the branch secretary to say, you stay at home, I will go to it." ”
Gu Yuehuai bowed: "Hmm." ”
At this time, in addition to collective labor in the public field, each family will also grow some vegetables in a small part of the allocated "self-reserved land", or use it as a fodder field, and the open space in front of the house and behind the house, talk to the brigade party secretary, and pass with one eye closed.
"Self-reserved land" refers to the land where each household cultivates and operates independently, and gets more for more work and less for less work.
However, only 5 percent of the total cultivated land of the brigade can be allocated to the members of the brigade, so very little of it falls into the hands of every household.
At this point in time, if she wants to talk about how to make a hundred and forty yuan quickly, she can't think of any better way except for the "treasure" behind the house, but she has to avoid some people in this matter, otherwise there is no way to do anything.
And this matter must not let Tian Jing know, she has as many eyes as a hornet's nest, but if she is asked to know, she will not be able to find any of these gold and silver antiques, and Tian Jing will definitely report it.
Thinking so, Gu Yuehuai turned around and went to the back of the house.
In late autumn, the back of the house is full of half-human-high withered yellow weeds, and some of them still hurt a little when they scratch on people.
In her previous life, Tian Jing dug up the gold and silver antiques and reported them to the brigade, and the brigade immediately enclosed the land and did not let anyone approach.
Now that she is doing it again, the exact location is firmly engraved in her heart, and there is no deviation at all.
Gu Yuehuai pushed away the weeds and took a look, and before she could be excited about being one step ahead, she saw a piece of dead grass that had been stepped on, and suddenly, a chill poured into her limbs, making her hands and feet a little cold.
Could it be that the treasure here has been discovered? Who is it? Ren Tianxiang or Tian Jing?
Gu Yuehuai's breathing was sluggish, and she half-squatted down to examine it carefully, and her emotions were slightly relieved when she found no traces of digging, but her spirit was still tense.
She has to speed up, if she takes the lead in rebirth and flies the duck to her beak, then how can she find Tian Jing for revenge in her life?
In other words, even if she can't afford these gold and silver antiques by herself, she must use these things for the benefit of her family, and she must not let Tian Jing step on the shoulders of her Gu family to ascend to the sky again!
Gu Yuehuai's face was covered with a layer of frost.
She turned around and went back to the courtyard, and before she saw her eldest brother, she suddenly saw a man and a woman walking from a distance, and when they got closer, her hand in her sleeve was tightly clenched, and she took a few deep breaths to suppress her emotions.
This man and woman are none other than her second brother Gu Ruihuai and Tian Jing.
Tian Jing covered her head with a piece of flower cloth, her beautiful face was pale, and there were crumbling tears in her eyes.
"Xiaojing, don't cry, what's wrong with you?"
"Ren Tianxiang is just a scum pest, everyone knows that you can't like him, and you definitely won't suspect anything, it's cold, don't cry, your face should be white when the time comes."
"Don't worry, I will definitely beat Ren Tianxiang to avenge you!"
“……”
Gu Yuehuai listened to the second brother's words like licking a dog, and her eyes were heavy.
Tian Jing didn't seem to be able to bear it anymore, turned her head sideways and said calmly: "Have you said enough?" Wasn't it Gu Yuehuai who harmed me to this step? I don't want you to beat Ren Tianxiang, if you want to fight, you will beat Gu Yuehuai! ”
Gu Ruihuai hesitated for a moment, but with a mocking look at Ueda Jing, a reckless anger surged up, and he said sharply: "Fight, fight!" As long as you say it, I'll beat her up and make you angry! ”
Gu Yuehuai couldn't help but let out a soft snort.
Tian Jing paused, turned her head and looked at Gu Yuehuai calmly, without the slightest embarrassment of complaining about being caught by herself, the haze under her eyes was dark and gloomy, she sneered, and no longer paid attention to Gu Ruihuai, and went straight back to her home.
