Mr. Wang Ershao, who was born in 1963, can already remember things, but he is still a child.
Moreover, there was only one male in the family, and Wang Meilan did not dare to let him take charge.
At this time, Wang Meilan proudly gestured with her hands in front of her, as big as a child's head, and then said: "I remember there was such a big golden watermelon. They made it very well. It has leaves and vines, and it's all beautiful."
It's gold."
Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang looked at Wang Meilan in shock. If Wang Meilan's gesture was as big as Wang Meilan's, how much gold would it cost? If you don't talk about this good thing, you should talk about the copper watermelon knife every day.
"There are also grapes, they are all made of gold." Wang Meilan gestured with her hands, which were as big as a child's head, and said, "It's very well done. The bunch of grapes are large and small, with leaves and vines."
After saying that, Wang Meilan put down her hand.
"Sister." Wang Qiang lost his composure and asked Wang Meilan, "What else is there?"
"It's nothing more." Wang Meilan waved her hand and said, "It's just bits and pieces. I can't remember it."
"That doesn't seem to be the case..." Xing San said with some uncertainty: "You said these things can't be packed into a sack."
As he said that, Xing San looked at the food box. At the same time, the old man gestured with his hands and said, "You said that one is so big that it can't be accommodated here."
"Brother." Wang Meilan called Xing San softly, then raised her head and said, "I have ten bunches of grapes at home."
Xing San: "..."
Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang: "..."
"No, Mom?" Zhao Jun stood up from the stool, walked to Wang Meilan, and asked: "Why didn't you tell me about these good things earlier? You still blame my uncle for saying that you said you only had watermelon knives and watermelon knives in one day.
of."
Wang Meilan pursed her lips, and then said loudly: "What should I say? Such a good thing has been lost, isn't it annoying to say it?"
Zhao Jun twitched the corner of his mouth and pinched his waist with his hands, feeling speechless.
Zhao Jun felt something was wrong when he opened Widow Wang's treasure house before.
Although those things were worth a lot of money, they could not support the old Pang family in his previous life who bought buildings after buildings.
After listening to what Xing San said today, Zhao Jun was sure that the Pang family must have obtained everything his grandfather had hidden.
Zhao Jun felt suffocated when he thought of this. The things in his home were taken away by others. What he didn't enjoy at home was enjoyed by others.
Zhao Jun didn't speak anymore, but Wang Meilan became more energetic at this time. She slapped her thigh and said, "Isn't it better for me to be upset alone than for you all to be upset?"
"Okay, sister!" Wang Qiang took Wang Meilan's hand that was patting her thigh and asked, "When we came out that day, there were no pumpkins, golden grapes or anything like that. Why didn't you tell us?"
"They're not even close to each other." Wang Meilan withdrew her hand and said, "It was a long time ago that Widow Wang took away those things. As for the golden watermelons and golden grapes I just mentioned, they came after liberation.
A few years ago, he was still at our house."
"Sister, why haven't I seen it before?" Wang Qiang asked. Wang Meilan glanced at him and said, "Your son hasn't stopped breastfeeding yet, so I just remembered it..."
Wang Meilan recalled what she said, a smile appeared on her face, and she said: "At night, my dad would light the wax on the candlestick, and then take out the grapes."
At this point, Wang Meilan raised her hand above her head, made several gestures in mid-air, and said: "Hang a string here, hang a string there, it's really fun."
When she said these words, Wang Meilan's eyes were blurred. She must have thought of the good things in her family and her loving old father.
Zhao Jun, Wang Qiang, Xing San: "..."
The three of them looked at Wang Meilan speechlessly, especially Zhao Jun.
You, Wang Meilan, should tell you earlier that some of the treasures at home are missing, and everyone must try their best to find them.
If Xing San hadn't brought such a food box today, you wouldn't have said anything.
"Ahem!" Wang Qiang cleared his throat and changed the subject: "Then... when my father pulled that sack, was it filled with treasures?"
"Then it's definitely!" The person who answered was Wang Meilan. After answering Wang Qiang's words, she said to Xing San: "Brother, you should be able to remember that once spring started in 1959, it would not rain for a long time here.
It won’t be good for three years.”
Xing San looked at Wang Meilan in confusion, wondering why this person's topic would jump so much.
Suddenly, Wang Meilan changed the topic and said: "But 58 years was a great harvest!"
Xing Sanyi was startled, he seemed to understand what Wang Meilan meant.
At this time, Wang Meilan continued: "I remember the year 1957 is not bad. The yield in our mountainous areas was not high, but there was so much grain in those two years that the collective could not harvest it last autumn."
"Yes."
"Yes." Wang Meilan nodded and said, "I am in the countryside, and I have never heard of a beggar who died in Zhejing."
"Then why have you heard about it?"
"That's not good!" Wang Qiang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's all right this time!"
"Huh?" At this time, Xing San asked Wang Meilan with some curiosity: "Brothers and sisters, a few years before liberation, your father didn't do much recruiting for a year. What kind of business did he do? Make so much money?
"
Xing San asked this out of pure curiosity. But when he asked, he was not the only one who was curious. Zhao Jun and Wang Qiang also looked at Wang Meilan.
Wang Meilan was startled, her eyes were erratic, and she said vaguely: "Then...who knows? I was young at that time, so I didn't ask."
Seeing his mother's attitude, Zhao Jun felt that his grandpa was unusual. But Wang Meilan obviously didn't want to say anything, so Zhao Jun changed the subject and asked her: "Mom, uncle, didn't my grandma say anything to you when she left?
"
"No." Wang Meilan frowned and shook her head slightly, while Wang Qiang looked confused.
Zhao Jun believed that his old uncle didn't know, otherwise the old Wang Qiang in his previous life wouldn't have been so difficult.
Looking at Wang Meilan again, she didn't look like she knew.
"Sister." Wang Qiang closed his eyes. Recalling what happened that year, he asked Wang Meilan, "Where did my father go? I didn't seem to be around."
"You went to Heyanzi to catch fish." Wang Meilan said: "Our father couldn't eat at that time. You said you made soup for him by catching fish."
"Ah..." Wang Qiang nodded and asked, "Sister, what about you and our mother?"
"Tsk." Wang Meilan clicked her tongue and said, "My father suddenly said he wanted to eat watermelon, so my mother and I went to the production team in the north to buy watermelon."
"Then let our father abandon the house?" Wang Qiang asked, and Wang Meilan said, "Your brother-in-law is at home."
At this point, Wang Meilan's frowned eyebrows relaxed and she said: "When our father left, he was the only one left behind."
"Did my brother-in-law tell you anything after that?" Wang Qiang asked again, and Wang Meilan shook her head and said, "No."
Everyone did not doubt Zhao Youcai, because even if Mr. Wang said something to Zhao Youcai, Zhao Youcai would not hide it for so many years, and there was no need for him to hide it.
"Isn't Zhao Jun's father not at work?"
ah?"
"Third uncle." Zhao Jun said with a smile: "My dad has gone to Yongxing."
"Ah?" Xing San asked in surprise: "What was he doing there?"
"I went to play with my friends." Zhao Jun didn't say that his father went hunting, because even he couldn't understand Zhao Youcai's behavior.
It’s not like there are no mountain animals in a mountain farm like Yong’an, so why go so far to hunt?
The four of them discussed it and decided to wait for Zhao Youcai to come back and first ask Wang Dapapa if he had any last words before starting to look for the treasure.
"Brother, don't go back today." Wang Meilan said to Xing San: "Let's chop the stuffing and make dumplings to eat."
"This..." Xing San was about to refuse when Wang Qiang said: "Don't leave, brother, let's drink tonight."
"Then I won't leave today..." Xing San hesitated, Zhao Jun smiled and said: "Sir, please don't leave. Let's stay at home tonight."
After saying that, Zhao Jun looked at Wang Meilan and asked: "Mom, is there any meat left in the dumplings?"
Today, five sacks of meat were taken away, and the landlord’s family had no food left.
There was some leftover meat in the big vat outside, but Wang Meilan said to Zhao Jun: "Son, go to Xishantun and buy a live roe deer."
In the past, it was Zhao Jun who caught the roe deer alive and sold them, but now it was him who bought the roe deer alive.
But Zhao Jun agreed without saying anything. The four of them returned to Zhao's house. Wang Meilan and Wang Qiang accompanied Xing San into the house. Zhao Jun rode his motorcycle straight to Xishantun.
Yesterday when it snowed heavily, those foxes returned to their dens one after another. Today the snow stopped and the foxes did not come out for parade anymore.
It stands to reason that the fox problem has been eliminated.
But faced with the temptation of paying ten yuan for a fox skin, the people of Xishantun decided to get rid of those foxes completely.
They united, and under the leadership of Zhang Xinglong, one group gathered together to repair the large net. The other group, under the leadership of Tong Youfeng, collected steel wires from all over the village and made each cover.
According to their plan, they would set up a net in front of the birch forest early tomorrow morning to prevent the foxes from breaking out and escaping in that direction.
In the direction of Xishantun, everyone set up a defensive line. They could only block but not attack and drove the foxes towards the poplar forest.
If the foxes enter the poplar forest, they will be in trouble. There are countless traps laid in the poplar forest.
The two groups worked together and acted together, but what they didn't expect was that someone actually acted without authorization.
Wu Dalin secretly laid two traps in the poplar forest yesterday morning. The foxes, which had been hungry all night due to the heavy snowfall yesterday, got up before dawn today to look for food.
These foxes are so used to being at ease that no one dares to catch them.
So, two foxes just came out of the nest and got into the trap.
Wu Dalin knew the habits of those foxes, so at around nine o'clock, Wu Dalin called his brother-in-law to walk the condom together.
Seeing that a fox had taken advantage of the trap, the two of them were very happy and took the fox home.
There are no secrets in the village. When entering the village, someone saw Wu Dalin carrying the dead fox and told Zhang Xinglong.
The entire village agreed to act together, but Wu Dalin went ahead to set the trap.
When Zhang Xinglong and Tong Youfeng arrived at Wu Dalin's house, both fox skins had been peeled off.
Before Zhang and Tong could criticize Wu Dalin, a sharp fox howl came from Xishan...
At the same time, Zhao Jun entered Xishantun on a motorcycle.
