Three hundred and fifty-eight I was taught to be stupid
After a lot of struggling, several people finally found the pipe in the debris pile.
"Xiaoyu, what do you think, can it be used?"
Looking at the tube in front of him, Zhang Yu measured it with his hands and felt that the size should be about the same.
Even though it is covered in rust, I don't know if it has been penetrated by rust.
Covered by rust, you can't tell what material it is made of.
Xie Zhiying knocked it with his hand: "It shouldn't have been rusted through yet. It sounded like a copper pipe."
"Copper pipe?" The captain's wife stared at the pipe with wide eyes and disbelief.
"Brother Xie, is this thing really a copper pipe?"
Xie Zhiying nodded. When he was young, he worked with a group of brothers on hardware. Although he didn't become famous, he still had some insight.
The brigade captain's wife twisted her thigh violently, with a confused look on her face: "This doesn't hurt, it's really just a dream."
The captain on the side grinned in pain: "Daughter-in-law, it hurts! It's me you're screwing."
The captain's wife looked down, laughed awkwardly, turned around and said, "Who told you to be so close to me? If you stay away from me, wouldn't I be able to pinch you?"
As he said that, he rolled his eyes at him.
The captain felt aggrieved.
Xie Zhiying and Zhang Yu, standing nearby, almost couldn't hold back their laughter.
"Ahem!" Only then did the captain's wife remember that there was someone else beside her. She coughed twice, blinked, and deliberately changed the subject.
"It's a loss, it's a loss! It's my ignorance. If I had known it was a copper pipe, wouldn't I have put it away properly? Look at how rusty it is now..."
The captain's wife became more and more distressed as she spoke, and couldn't help but glare at the captain again.
The captain looked aggrieved and glared at him, what did it have to do with him?
Seeing the meaning in her man's eyes, the captain's wife said angrily: "It's all because of your ignorance. If you had to recognize that this is a copper pipe, wouldn't I have put it away long ago?"
The more she talked, the angrier she became. The captain's wife's hand fell on the captain's arm again and she twisted hard.
The baby won't recognize the useless things in his hands.
If we had known earlier that this was a copper pipe, our family would not have been so miserable in the past few years.
Even if it is sold as scrap, such a large copper pipe is still worth a lot of money.
There was no need for her to go back to her parents' house to borrow money in order to buy two fever-reducing pills.
How many years had her sister-in-law buried him for that little money?
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. The captain's wife squeezed the man's hand and kept trying harder.
This time it was no better than before, but he didn't lose any strength at all, and the captain let out an "ouch" in pain.
"It hurts! It hurts!"
Xie Zhiying finally couldn't help but laugh out loud. The sound reminded the captain and his wife that it was not just the two of them, but there were also outsiders watching.
The captain's wife's face turned red with shame.
The captain is also aggrieved!
How did he know it was a copper pipe?
The guy named Liu has always been unreliable, and half of his 10 sentences are true.
He thought that the other party was trying to fool people and wanted to default on the bill, but he didn't expect that what they said was a copper pipe was really a copper pipe.
Couple, you look at me, I look at you, in the end it was the captain’s wife who was defeated first.
Shifting the target of criticism: "It's all that brat's fault, he's not reliable at all."
The captain also echoed: "Yes, it's all the fault of that brat, the third child. He has no knowledge at all and can't even recognize him. What's the use of him?"
The couple buried their third son very badly.
Fortunately, their third son is not here, otherwise they would have to cover their faces when going out in the future.
After passing the blame on each other, the captain and his wife turned their attention to the copper pipe.
The captain's wife patted the rust on it with her hand and asked with some confusion: "Where did Liu get such a big copper pipe? I don't believe what he said about it being passed down from ancestors."
Nonsense."
The captain thought for a while and seemed to have thought of something. He glanced around and saw no one else, and then whispered: "I should know a little bit about this. You know the commune next door. The ghosts used to station troops there. It seems.
They were mining some kind of ore, and they came to our place to capture young men to work as miners for them. I don’t know how many people died at that time.
After the gang surrendered, the place became a bit eerie because of the large number of people who died. People in the surrounding villages avoided the place and did not go there at all on weekdays.
But I heard from the miner who escaped that some of the more important machines inside were moved away by the county. Because of those machines, our county built a machinery factory.
But at that time, everywhere was in chaos, and the county leaders were also very busy, so the wells and pipes that those people dug were left in place without any attention for the time being.
When the county found time to spare, those things left behind had been evacuated long ago, and we still don’t know who moved them.
You said this copper pipe could be one of those pipes that was removed at that time."
The captain's wife lowered her head and thought: "Don't tell me, it's really possible. Why didn't I think of this place? How poor is the man named Liu? His trouser pockets are whiter than his face, but he can still...
Squeeze out money to buy furniture for your daughter.
At first glance, he doesn't look like the kind of person who prefers his daughter. There is only one possibility for him to be able to do this, and that is that he is not short of money."
The more the captain's wife thought about it, the more she felt that it was so. Finally, she said categorically: "That man named Liu must have made a fortune! I think he probably stole the pipe."
As she said that, she also hit her man with her elbow.
"Do you still remember his eldest daughter named Liu? If I remember correctly, when his eldest daughter went out, Liu withheld all the dowry from the man and didn't even want to let her get married.
My daughter took her away, and I didn’t even want to let my eldest daughter wear a pair of shoes.”
"Isn't that right? Because of this, his eldest brother beat him severely. Because of what happened back then, until now, his eldest daughter can't hold her head up in her husband's family."
Speaking of this, the captain became very angry.
At that time, the village had not yet been transformed into a team, and the village chief at that time was still his father.
After this incident spread, their reputation as a girl from Xiejia Village was affected.
As soon as the matchmaker was mentioned, when the other party heard that she was a girl from Xiejia Village, she shook her head without even looking at her.
To be honest, after so many years, not to mention that everyone in their brigade is a good person, the captain has also seen the kind of people who sell their girls, but even the people who sell their girls are not so ruthless. The girl will not even part with a pair of old shoes when she goes out.
Let wear.
At this moment, the captain's wife remembered something strange again: "There is something I always can't figure out. You said that with Liu's temper, I have never heard of him molesting a child in so many years.
Son-in-law, I didn’t coax my little girl into taking things from her husband’s house to subsidize her mother’s family.”
Speaking of this, the captain also felt a little strange.
