Chapter 40 Hidden Treasure
Author: Bo Mi
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Fang Youshun didn't think much about it. Seeing that Shen Yuxiu wanted it, he made his decision with a wave of his hand.
Along the way, this child was so obedient and sensible that it made people feel heartbroken. No matter what he suffered with his parents, he never cried or made trouble. Nowadays, it is rare for a child to get something he wants. How can he not deserve it?
Besides, they dug wild vegetables and caught and sold fish along the way. The money they brought was almost useless. They just bought a stone. How much could they spend?
"But it costs money, and you can buy a lot of food." Fang Youshun didn't care, but Shen Yuxiu was very concerned.
But having said that, anyone can clearly see her expectant little eyes.
"What's the point? Grandpa is willing to buy a child like Xiaoxiu's for you." Fang Youshun looked at her face that was clearly refusing but full of desire. He picked her up and put her on the tricycle in a funny way.
The black boy said: "Let's go, lead the way, let's go buy stones."
"Hey." When the black kid heard this, he happily agreed and ran ahead to lead the way.
Under the leadership of Hei Zizi, Fang Youshun quickly found the squad leader's home. As soon as the squad leader heard that he wanted to buy rocks, he immediately took him to the team headquarters happily.
There are a lot of stones like that on a mountain here. People in the village usually use them to process beads, buttons or pendants for takeout. Nowadays, people's life is not very good, so no one buys those things. Now they are all piled up.
It's gathering dust in the yard of the team headquarters.
When Shen Yuxiu was taken to the team headquarters and saw the stones in the yard, she was a little disappointed.
The black child said that there were black and green stones here. She thought they were as smooth and beautiful as the fruits in his hand, but it turned out that these stones were gray and white. Occasionally, the stones were a little colored, but not black.
It was so beautiful, but the color green wasn't particularly good-looking either. It was completely different from what she originally imagined.
"This grayish-white thing is a layer of skin. All the beautiful stones are underneath the skin. You can see it by grinding off the skin with a tool. You can pick the color you like and then polish off the skin. They will all look very nice."
Seeing her disappointed look, the boy was afraid that Fang Youshun would not give him the promise, so he quickly said: "Really, this is how I grind my stone fruit. I won't lie to you."
Fang Youshun saw that Shen Yuxiu was confused when he heard this, and roughly translated what the child meant. Shen Yuxiu looked surprised when he heard this, and hesitantly searched for the color of the stone he liked with Grandma Fang.
Finally, she found two black stones as big as the mouth of a bowl, and a green stone as big as a cabbage for people to polish.
Sure enough, just like what the black boy said, after the outer layer of the gray stone was rubbed off, the color inside became moist, smooth and beautiful.
Because Shen Yuxiu had been out for nearly a month and Shen Yuxiu had to go back to school, Fang Youshun and Grandma Fang did not dare to spend too much time here. After having people grind off the outer skin, they only processed the fruits that Shen Yuxiu wanted.
Okay, I paid the money to put three stones, one large, two small and three, onto the tricycle and left the village.
Of course, before leaving, he didn't forget to give the steamed bun to the black boy. Seeing the two extra steamed buns, the black boy grinned happily. He happily ate the steamed buns while looking at the backs of the people leaving.
go.
On the road again, Shen Yuxiu had a new toy. She couldn't put it down and rubbed the stones every day, especially the green ones. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them.
Grandma Fang looked at her like that and couldn't help but shake her head in amusement.
This thing is not worth much. It has no use except that it looks good and can be used to make buttons and pendants. That is to say, the old man of my family loves his children. If he wants her to say, just buy a small stone to make fruit for his children.
Okay, what are you going to do with spending money to get such a big stone, just to show it there? Wouldn’t it be nice to have that money to buy some food?
However, Fang Youshun didn't think so.
Maybe it's like what my wife said. Ever since he was bullied, this child has hardly gone out to play with anyone. Of course, no one comes to play with this child. Usually when Shen Yulin is not around, this child is alone.
He was bored at home, and occasionally heard the sound of children playing outside. Although the child didn't say anything, he could tell that he was yearning for him.
But every time he asked the child why she didn't go out to play, she said she didn't want to. But every time at this time, he could always see the loss and loneliness in the child's eyes.
So, when the child said he liked Guoguo and wanted good-looking Guoguo, he agreed without saying a word.
It's just a few dollars. As long as it can make the child happy, he is willing to spend it. He wants to give the child something that he likes, at least not so boring when he is alone.
In this way, Fang Youshun walked around with his wife and granddaughter, and finally returned to the village where they had been away for more than a month on the afternoon of two days before school started.
There was no wind or rain, and the sun hung slanting in the western sky. Although the fields along the road were still dry, the corn seedlings had grown to the height of a person, and there were small corn cobs on each stalk.
There are small green or light purple whiskers on the top of the sticks, telling people that they are working hard to bear fruit.
Fang Youshun and Grandma Fang looked at the appearance of the crops in the fields and the people who were busy in the fields. Their tense mood finally relaxed a little.
It seems that it has rained here since they left, otherwise the crops would not be able to grow so tall and produce corn cobs. As long as there is a harvest in autumn, people will have enough to eat and hope for life.
When the three of them arrived at the door of their house, it was locked with an iron lock. No one was at home, and several children were missing.
Fang Youshun parked the tricycle against the courtyard wall, stepped on the tricycle, climbed up the wall, and entered the courtyard. He took out a key from his worn shoe on the window sill to open the door.
When the door of the house was opened, the first thing Shen Yuxiu did was to ask her grandma to carry her three stones into the house, and then she found a shovel to close the door. In the corner of her room, it turned out that she had buried her treasure.
The place began to be dug.
Shen Yuxiu discovered that after her constant rubbing along the way, the black stone became really shiny and beautiful.
The same goes for the green stones. The areas that were often rubbed became more and more green and beautiful under the sunlight, which made Shen Yuxiu feel more and more happy as she looked at them.
She decided that with one of the black stones, she could give her grandpa time to make a few more sets of fruit and share them with her brothers, sisters and third brother, but the green one was her treasure, and she could hide it better than before.
Those treasures, more treasures.
It is absolutely impossible for her to let such a good treasure be seen by her eldest sister and her brothers. Otherwise, if the brothers like it, the eldest sister will definitely ask her to let her go. Although the stone is very big and can make many fruits.
, but she just didn’t want to.
Therefore, she had to hide this treasure, hide it tightly, and not let her brothers, sisters and brothers know at all.
I saw a little cutie guessed that she went to WF yesterday. No, after reading this chapter, can you guess where it is?
