"Of course not. I'm not stupid. I told him that I heard someone said that there was food for sale in the grain store. But after I went there, I found out that I had been tricked. There was no food for sale at all. After working for a long time, I didn't buy anything. So I went home.
Have a drink of water, and then go out to various supply and marketing cooperatives to see if there is anything that the children can eat." The old man repeated what he had just said to the old woman, fearing that if the two people said that they had forked the batch, the neighbors would become suspicious.
.
"Okay, I understand." The old woman said that she understood and would not do anything wrong.
The moment the old man went out, his energy changed and he became dejected. He happened to bump into the neighbor again. When he saw him, he said, "You're going out again so soon!"
"This child is screaming at home because he's hungry. I really can't bear to listen to it any more. I feel distressed when I hear it. Taking advantage of the fact that it's still a while before dark, I'll go to various supply and marketing cooperatives to see if I can buy cakes.
Soak biscuits and the like in water for him to eat."
"Then you go quickly, they will get off work soon." Hearing this, the neighbor didn't ask anything.
The old man also breathed a sigh of relief and finally got over it. Next time he goes to get something at home, he must avoid people.
Zhang Yu waited for a while at the place he chose. The old man came over and showed him the jade he brought.
"So, I'm not talking nonsense, right? These are much better than the ones at the beginning, right?"
"That's good, but how do I replace these?"
The old man really didn't lie to him. These jadeite jadeites were better than the ones he displayed at the beginning, and his wait was not in vain.
Zhang Yu was not idle while waiting. While waiting, he took out some food from the space and placed it in a corner.
After getting the jade and negotiating a price that both of them were satisfied with, he pointed out the place where the grain was placed. When the old man saw the grain, he didn't care about the jade. He just hugged the grain excitedly. This is their life! There is.
With these, they can survive.
At such an old age, he has experienced more than one disaster, and he understands that at this time, even a thousand or ten thousand yuan of family property is not as useful as a bag of grain.
With these grains, mixed with the monthly rations, their family can survive this time.
"Then how do you take this food home?" Zhang Yu asked the old man after collecting the jade.
"You go first, I will ask my son to carry it later." Then the old man gave Zhang Yu an address. If he has food and needs jade, he can go to him. After these two transactions, he also understood that Zhang Yu
Yu is not the kind of person who looks down on other people's good deeds, so you can feel safe doing business with him.
"Okay." After Zhang Yu finished speaking, he left without staying any longer.
Not long after Zhang Yu left, a middle-aged man came. The middle-aged man sneaked into the door and shouted in a low voice: "Dad, Dad, are you there?"
"Here, I'm here, come in, come in."
"How is dad? Have you changed it yet?" The middle-aged man asked quickly when he saw that there was nothing beside his dad.
"It's changed, it's been changed, come over and take a look." The old man replied, and then opened the firewood covering the grain.
When the man saw the grain, he said excitedly, "Dad, did you exchange for this grain?"
He didn't quite believe what his mother said at first, but it was after his mother showed him the fine grains at home that he began to believe it, but he never expected that he could exchange for so much grain this time.
"No, these grains belong to our family."
"It's all our family's, that's great!" The man looked at the food on the ground and giggled.
The old man patted him on the back of the head and said, "Stop laughing, laugh again when you get back, and quickly find a way to transport this food back."
Hearing these words, the man became serious. His mother also told him that today his father was questioned several times by neighbors just for carrying a bag on his back. Obviously, this food could not be brought back blatantly.
"Dad, why don't you stay here and I'll transport it back bit by bit."
"That won't work. The more times it happens, the more conspicuous it will be. Besides, the family next door to us has a dog. If the dog barks more, it will definitely attract people to come out to check. Let's do this. Let's not pass in front. I remember we
There is no one near the wall behind the house, so when the time comes, we will pass over there and throw the food over the wall."
"Okay." The middle-aged man looked at his father with conviction. Sure enough, there was an old man in the family. If he had a treasure, he had to think of a way. He could only think of taking advantage of the darkness to transport it home bit by bit.
Forgot to consider the dog factor.
Not to mention that they were discussing how to transport the food back, Zhang Yu was also thinking about how to get more food home.
After thinking for a long time, thinking about the scene of exchanging jade in the abandoned house today, he suddenly remembered his three-entry yard.
Yes, he remembered that when he went to check that day, if you didn't look carefully at one of the walls of the reverse house, you would never find that that wall was thicker than the other walls.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. Yeguoyuedu is available for Android and Apple.]
I don’t know how the house was built when it was first built. The walls are all the same thickness from the outside, but when you go inside the house, people who are extremely sensitive to space may find that the area inside the house is smaller.
He also thought about renovating the house and discovered it when he measured the room area. After discovering it, he searched carefully inside and out, but couldn't find anything different.
Finally, I brought my uncle with me. After my uncle reminded me, I found a mechanism hidden on the bed pillar. After I opened it, I found that it was a small dark room with a wall that had been partially hollowed out and could be put down.
A lot of stuff.
That day, they also found a secret room under the study of the main house. The uncle said that this layout was obviously because the owner wanted to have three caves. He thought that a secret room in the main house would be too conspicuous, so he added a secret room in the servants' room.
I created this secret room.
The marks left inside show that a lot of things were once placed in both secret rooms. According to the marks, the things in the reverse room should be much heavier than those in the study, but now there is nothing in them. Come to think of it,
The owner took it with him when he left.
He put some of the fine grains in the space into it, and then after thinking about it, he took back some of the fine grains and replaced them with more coarse grains.
Then he went back with a small backpack on his back. The neighbors passing by said hello to each other. They looked at his small backpack and felt that he had put something down and ignored it.
"Sister-in-law, I'm back."
"You're finally back. It's getting dark. If you don't come back, I will ask your third brother to find you." Zhang Guifang heard her nephew's voice and ran out quickly, dragging him to look up and down.
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine. It's just that it took a lot of time to find someone to replace those things. Didn't I come back well? Don't worry."
