Chapter 6 Treasure Hunt

Xiao Hong looked at them with a pale face: "Second Grandpa, Second Grandma, Third Grandma, I don't want to marry such a person. I'm also afraid that my father will beat me. Can I go to my mother's place to stay for a few days tomorrow?"

She also didn't expect that the old people also suspected that her biological father was unreliable.

Then it is reasonable for her to want to go to her biological mother.

Mrs. Xiao nodded when she heard this: "Yes, while you are on summer vacation now, you might as well go and stay there for a few days."

"I think it's better to let Julan come here." Grandma Xiao San said and looked at Mr. Xiao: "Second brother, we are in the same room after all. We can take care of this kind of thing once, but we can't take care of it every time, otherwise

I’m afraid I’ll be scolded for being too nosy.”

Mr. Xiao took two puffs of cigarette, and sighed solemnly with a slightly wrinkled face: "Jianming, go make a call and ask her to come."

It's 1990 now, and some remote villages don't even have electricity, and telephones are even rarer.

Of course, their village doesn’t have a phone either.

If you want to make a phone call, you have to go to the post office in town and call the post office in Zacun and ask someone to help deliver the message or have someone call you back.

Of course, this all costs travel expenses.

But this is also the fastest and most convenient way.

Otherwise, Shantou Village is probably a hundred miles away from Zha Village, and there is no direct bus, so transportation is really inconvenient.

Xiao Jianming responded.

Xiao Hong was really touched at this moment and bowed to them to thank them.

She could think that she did not resist in her dream, and she only set up a few tables of wine with the man. These elders must have thought that she was willing, so they did not stand up for her.

Now everything is different from the dream.

She will work hard to change her destiny.

By the time she got home, Liu Meijuan had also left.

She closed the doors and windows, started to scoop out the remaining water from the water tank, spread straw on the outside of the water tank, and found two poles and stuffed them under the water tank.

Unfortunately, the pole is made of bamboo and is not strong enough.

She found the bolt of the door again, and this time with more force, she really pried the big water tank up, and it fell smoothly to the ground covered with straw outside.

There was still compacted mud under the water tank, so she found a hoe and hoeed it a few times, and sure enough, she found rocks.

After digging through the mud, two bluestone slabs were exposed.

She tried her best to lift up a piece of bluestone that was not very thick, but she smelled a strange smell.

The kraft paper and urea bags wrapped outside the small wooden box have aged, but the small wooden box inside is still in good condition.

She wiped the outside of the box clean with a rag, then found a vise and unscrewed the small lock. After opening it, she couldn't help but gasp.

Inside were ten large yellow croakers piled neatly, as well as two pairs of gold bracelets and a pair of jade bracelets.

Perhaps because it has been buried in the ground for too long, the large yellow croaker is not as golden as it is dazzling. Instead, it is dusty, but it feels heavy in the hand.

But that pair of jadeite bracelets are particularly fine with delicate texture.

Xiao Hong couldn't hide her joy as she took the wooden box into the room and stuffed it under the bed.

She wasn't going to use this huge windfall yet.

According to the scene in the book she dreamed about, in a few years the economy will continue to develop at a rapid pace and inflation will expand dramatically, so the large yellow croaker will become more valuable.

It's only 1990, and the carpenter's salary in their village was only 3.5 yuan a day, but by the end of the 1990s, the carpenter's salary was almost 35 yuan.

Nowadays, workers only earn about a hundred yuan a month. By the late 1990s, private enterprises were blooming everywhere. As long as they worked hard, ordinary workers could earn one to two thousand yuan a month.

Moreover, criminal gangs are rampant in some places outside and the public security in some places is chaotic. She feels that she should not rush to open a shop in the city to make money. When the society is more stable in the late 1990s, it will not be too late to go out and make money.

She dreamed that in her life in the book, she had a car accident at the age of thirty-eight before receiving a lunch box, so she would try to live to be eighty-eight in this life.

She spent a lot of effort to restore the bluestone slab and the water tank, and then went outside to bring back five loads of water to fill the water tank.

There is only one well in Shantou Village, and there is a stream not far from the well. There are villagers washing clothes or carrying water all day long.

When everyone saw Xiao Hong, they couldn't help but curiously ask a few questions about what happened before.

Xiao Hong knew that everyone had no ill intentions and was just gossiping, but she didn't say anything else and seemed a bit 'at a loss'.

After all, she was not a eloquent person in the first place and had a shy temperament, but now she still has to maintain her personality.

In the afternoon, Second Aunt Xiao came over: "Your Second Uncle has already made a call and asked someone to take the message over. Your Second Grandma asked you to come over for dinner."

"Hey, thank you for your hard work, Second Uncle." Xiao Hong thought of having to trouble Second Master Xiao and the others later, seeing that there was still a lot of lunch left.

She said very sensibly: "Second Aunt, the weather is hot now. If you don't eat the remaining dishes, they may go bad. If you don't mind, then I can bring them over and let us all eat them together."

Aunt Xiao followed her over, opened the vegetable cover and took a look. She saw most of the plate of roast chicken, pork head meat and braised pork. The fish was almost eaten, and she couldn't help but sigh: "Oh, there are so many good dishes.

, I’m really willing to give it up, Liu Meijuan really spent a lot of money on it.”

Although they are no longer hungry now, people in the village are reluctant to eat meat regularly. Eggs and duck eggs are considered meat dishes.

She was not polite and asked Xiao Hong to bring them all over, so as not to worry if these delicious dishes spoiled overnight due to the hot weather.

…

Zhacun.

Zhacun is located on Nanshan Mountain.

Wu Julan returned home with a serious look on her face, and saw Xiao Fang busy in front of the stove, so she went to light the fire: "Why didn't your sister light the fire at home?"

"I asked Yanyan to go to grandma's house to borrow some salt." Xiao Fang said with a smile: "I forgot to buy salt at home. Tomorrow I will take my sister to the town to buy some salt and soybean oil."

He put the lid on the pot again: "Mom, there's no need to burn it. The winter melon will be ready after simmering for a while. It's hot today, so there's no need to reheat the cold rice at noon, right?"

"Yeah!" Wu Julan responded unconsciously, still stuffing the wood blocks into the stove, and thinking about what Zhao Gang had brought back to her.

The last time she saw Xiao Hong was when Grandma Xiao passed away last year. Someone from the Xiao family specially came to ask Xiao Fang to go back and give the old man a ride.

She thought that her ex-mother-in-law had been kind to her when she was still alive. Besides, she also wanted to see her eldest daughter, so she went with her to the funeral.

The distance between the two places was too long and it was difficult to travel by horse and cart. It would take half a day to go there. In addition, there were many things to do at home, so she never went there again after that.

But in her heart, she often thinks about her daughter who is no longer with her.

Now they called over there and asked me to go there tomorrow. They said that Xiao Jianhua's family told Xiao Hong about their family, and Xiao Hong didn't want to cause trouble.

After Wu Julan heard the news, she felt like a fire was burning in her heart. How old was Xiao Hong, and they were rushing her to get married?

Is it because Xiao Jianhua’s current wife can’t tolerate her? Or is it because of the bride price?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, and she wished she could bring her daughter back now.
