Chapter 52 Doubt
Author: cool beauty
The school gate was poorly prepared on the first day and only sold 23 baskets of steamed dumplings.
Mainly because some day students have no money in their pockets, or they are worried that their families will be worried if they don’t go back for breakfast.
Most of the students who live on campus have steamed breakfast and don't want to waste food.
But on the second day, more and more students bought steamed dumplings, and soon fifty steamed dumplings were sold. Several students also went to their store to eat dumplings.
In the next few days, business was very good.
Not only the students like to change the taste, but also the teachers come to buy it.
After all, there are no dumpling skins for sale yet, and it is very troublesome to eat a meal of dumplings. It takes a lot of time to knead the dough, rest it, buy meat and chop the filling.
Nowadays, a bowl of dumplings costs 50 cents. Although it is not cheap, the teachers' salaries are not low and they can afford it.
Occasionally, the steamed dumplings are over-steamed and cannot be sold. If they are steamed again, they lose their chewiness and are not fresh enough.
Xiao Hong specially ordered a large pan to turn the remaining steamed dumplings into fragrant fried dumplings.
Just like this, another week passed, and Xiao Hong saw that her braised chicken income was about twenty yuan a day, and her family's income was much higher. On average, she could earn fifty or sixty yuan.
She wasn't going to bother with anything else.
Mainly because this is enough to keep them busy for a whole day.
In the evening, we will start braised pig heads, pig trotters, braised chicken, and braised tea eggs.
The next day around three o'clock in the morning I had to get up to knead the dough and roll out the dumpling wrappers.
I opened the door at six in the morning and was busy until eight or nine. After I finished packing, I had to prepare lunch. After lunch, Uncle Zhao would collect the chickens or chop wood or something.
Mom has to tidy up the house, clean up, and wash.
In the afternoon, we also sell braised meat, kill chickens, clean up pig heads, and prepare dinner.
There is almost no time to rest.
Therefore, even if Xiao Hong still has many money-making ideas in her mind, she does not speak out for fear of exhausting them.
Anyway, now I can eat and drink well, live a comfortable life, and I can still earn an income every day. This little life is really comfortable.
It would be better if I didn't have to study.
Because reading is too taxing on the brain.
And just when their family was living a prosperous life, Xiao Hong, Xiao Jianhua and the others began to demolish the house in Xiao Hong's hometown and build a new red brick house.
Before demolishing the house, the couple took out some household items.
In the past few days, all the furniture and other items were moved to the village committee where I was staying, and they moved the water tank and pickle tank out at night.
But when I was lifting the water tank, the water tank broke somehow.
Xiao Jianhua complained to her: "It's all your fault for using so much force. Otherwise, how could such a thick water tank break?"
Liu Meijuan was very gentle in front of him: "It's my fault. You go to bed first. Just leave me here to clean up slowly."
What Xiao Jianhua is most satisfied with is her good temper: "Okay, let's do it together."
Don't worry about a broken tank, they will get it out quickly.
Later, Xiao Jianhua found that the water in the water tank seeped quickly. He accidentally stepped on it and his Jiefang shoes sank a little.
This made his eyes light up: "Bring me a hoe."
His own father loved him very much when he was a child, and told him several times after drinking too much that there was a lot of gold buried in this house, and he would give it to him in the future so that he could live a good life.
Later, my father died unexpectedly, but he left no last words.
But Xiao Jianhua has been thinking about this matter in his heart.
So in the past few days, he moved things out of the house and dug a lot of places.
For example, he dug out the house where his parents lived and some places that he thought were special.
Unfortunately, after working hard for several days, I still got nothing.
But now he discovered something unusual.
The water seeped so fast that there might actually be gold underneath.
In fact, this was because when Xiao Hong took the gold, he loosened the soil and moved the box away, so the water naturally leaked out.
Liu Meijuan also knew what he was looking for, and hurriedly went to get a hoe. The couple dug up the bluestone in just a few hoes.
At this moment, both the couple laughed excitedly.
They all felt like they had dug the gold left by Father Xiao.
When they carefully moved the bluestone slab out, they found that it was empty underneath.
This was simply a bolt from the blue.
It can be said that one moment I was so happy that I felt like I was floating in the sky, and the next moment I felt like I had entered the gate of hell.
"How is this possible?" Xiao Jianhua couldn't believe that his family's gold would disappear. It was left to him by his father.
He looked like he was going crazy, and dug hard with his hoe.
This must be a deception, the gold must still be underneath.
It's a pity that the real treasure has been taken away by Xiao Hong. They worked hard for more than an hour and dug up everything nearby, but they didn't see anything good.
Xiao Jianhua sat down on the mud pile in despair: "Why is the gold missing? Who stole my gold?"
There must have been treasures in the space under the bluestone slab, otherwise it would not have been like this.
But now that the gold is gone, someone must have taken advantage of it.
The first thing Xiao Jianhua thought of was his brother: "My eldest brother must have done it secretly!"
Liu Meijuan did not feel dizzy: "But the last time they came back, it was during the Qingming Festival, and they only stayed at home for one day, and no one was killed at home. Even if they wanted to do it, they wouldn't have a chance?"
"Who else could it be?" Xiao Jianhua's suspicious eyes fell on her.
But considering that she didn't even know where the gold was buried, how could she possibly know?
Fortunately, Liu Meijuan didn't know what he was thinking, but she was also suspicious: "Tell me, is this good thing in the hands of your previous wife?"
"How is that possible?" Xiao Jianhua gave her a look: "I don't even know, how could she know?"
"But when my mother-in-law was alive, she was partial to Xiao Hong, her granddaughter. She also disliked me and liked the one in front of you." Liu Meijuan was really unwilling to accept her mother-in-law's favoritism, so she thought a little more: "Could it be?
My mother-in-law told them quietly? Otherwise, who would be able to find such a secret place?"
Anyway, the thought of a box of gold possibly falling into their hands made her so angry that her heart, liver and lungs ached.
"Impossible," Xiao Jianhua's tone became less firm, and he gritted his teeth: "Even if my grandma is partial to them, she won't give everything to them. The palms and backs of her hands are all flesh. My eldest brother and I are her biological children."
Liu Meijuan could tell that he also suspected that he was having sex with his ex-wife and daughter. Naturally, she wanted him to resent them even more: "I can't say for sure. Maybe our mother only told Xiao Hong before she died?"
"Perhaps my grandma meant for us to share the gold equally, but mother and daughter got jealous of the money and took it all for themselves?"
