"Uncle Li Zheng, Uncle Li Zheng, open the door! I am Dajiang, I have something urgent to do with you!" Xu Dajiang was anxious. When he arrived at Li Zheng's house, he slapped his door panel loudly.
Li was talking happily to his eldest sister in the room when he was suddenly interrupted. You can imagine how upset he felt.
His son Sun Qinglong went to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xu Dajiang with a pale face.
"Dajiang, it's so late, what's wrong with you?" Sun Qinglong couldn't help but frown when he saw him like this.
"Is Uncle Li Zheng here? I can't find my ingot! I, I came here to ask Uncle Li Zheng to help me ask everyone in the village to help me look for it!" As soon as Xu Dajiang opened his mouth, Sun Qinglong was frightened.
A big jump.
"What? Yuanbao is lost? Could it be that he went to his grandma's house? Have you ever gone to his grandma's house to look for it?" Sun Qinglong's first reaction was that Yuanbao couldn't bear the harsh treatment of his stepmother Zhu and went there.
Grandma's house takes refuge.
"No, who can be in his grandmother's house? His grandmother is the only one. Yuanbao is gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat enough. Besides, my mother has already asked, but Yuanbao is not going!" Xu Dajiang
Sun Qinglong's guess was denied at once.
"Then where will this child go? Is he going to fish in the river again?" Sun Qinglong's words made Xu Dajiang's face suddenly turn pale.
"No, this kid fell into the river last time, and he still hasn't dared to go to the river alone. He shouldn't be so courageous!" Xu Dajiang denied it with a guilty conscience.
This child didn't really fall into the river again, right? It's been so long, and I don't know if he can be saved this time!
"Brother Qinglong, please hurry up and ask your father to help me find someone! I, I will go to Heyan to have a look!" Xu Dajiang finished denying, but the more he thought about it, the more terrifying he felt. He felt that his two
My legs were weak. I took trembling steps and ran towards the river at the west end of the village.
"Dajiang, don't panic, I'm going to call my dad right now!" Sun Qinglong saw the nervous expression on his face, became anxious, and quickly comforted him.
Then he walked into the main room and interrupted his father's conversation: "Dad, Dad, something happened in the village! Yuanbao is missing again! Gang Dajiang came over and asked you to find everyone to help him find it! He has already ran to the river to look!
He is afraid that the child will fall into the water again!"
Sun Hoyoung was speaking seriously, but was suddenly interrupted by his son, and couldn't help but feel extremely disappointed.
However, he was not someone who couldn't tell the difference between seriousness and seriousness. When he heard his son say this, he immediately realized that the situation was urgent.
So he said to his eldest sister, Huang Sunshi: "Sister, a child was lost in the village. I have to find someone immediately! You can go and rest with the Qinglong family first!"
Huang Sun came from Yunyang City in the neighboring county and had seen a lot of the world. When he heard that he had lost his child, he immediately thought of the photographer: "Lost the child? How old is the child? He won't be photographed.
Is Hanako’s trick gone?”
Li Zheng shook his head: "Normally not. We are in the corner of the town, and it is rare for a stranger to attract attention. I have always paid attention to our village. If there is a strange face, someone will stare at it! Besides,
Yuan Bao is ten years old, and ordinary people can't deceive him."
"Ah, that's troublesome! Go quickly! The loss of this child is more worrying than anything else!" Huang Sun nodded and asked his brother to hurry up and get down to business.
When the big bell at the entrance of the village rang, and everyone in the village gathered together, everyone couldn't help but talk about it: "It's strange today! The bell has only been rung once this afternoon, and now it's rung again!"
Hey, why is there so much unrest in this village these days?"
"I don't know what's going on. Is it Qingya's problem again? This girl has a lot of things going on all day long!"
As a result, while they were discussing, they saw Xu Dajiang coming over with a sad face: "Uncle Li Zheng, I, I didn't find the ingot! He, will he sink to the bottom of the river?"
The fear of losing his child made him unable to speak clearly.
"Oh, why did Yuanbao fall into the water again? Why doesn't this child understand? This river is not a fun place!" The big guy couldn't help but frown when he heard what he said.
Seeing Xu Dajiang's depressed look, Li Zheng frowned.
"Qinglong, Hei Niu, you two have the best water skills! Just you two, go to the river at the west end and feel it to see if the ingot is there!" He pointed at his son Sun Qinglong and Guihua, nicknamed Hei Niu.
My sister-in-law's brother-in-law.
"Well, okay, let's go now!" Saving lives is like putting out fires. Sun Qinglong and Hei Niu ran to the river at the west end of the village without saying a word.
"From the Fucheng family, you go back and call Qingya over! If Yuanbao really falls into the water, we still have to let her find a way to save people!" Zhuqing saved Yuanbao last time, and Li Zheng believed that Zhuqing might be able to save Yuanbao this time.
You can save Yuanbao one more time.
"Hey, I'll go back and call Qingya!" Wang also hurried home.
As soon as the bell rang, Wang asked Zhuqing to stay with Zhushan at home and rushed over to see what happened in the village.
When she heard that Zhuqing was asked to save people, she rushed back immediately. Saving lives must not be delayed.
Zhuqing heard Wang asked her to rush over to rescue people again, but she felt that it was unlikely that Yuanbao would fall into the water again.
There is no other reason. Yuanbao said to her personally before: "I will not let my mother and others force you to marry me. I will marry you based on my ability!"
How could a brat who plans to marry a wife when he grows up do such unthinkable things?
It's just that only she and Yuan Bao know about this, and she can't speak out loudly yet.
This was a bit depressing. However, since he was not found right now, anything could happen, so Zhu Qing still tried his best to be prepared to save people.
Here, two people were sent to look for people in the river, and several teams of people were sent to look for them from various roads in Cuizhu Village to the outer villages.
"The Yuanbao has been lost for a long time. No matter what, we should still be able to find him. Even if we can't find him, there will always be people who have seen him along the way. People from all over the country, let's find more people to ask!
After all, our children are important, let’s hurry up!”
After Li Zheng finished explaining, the entire Cuizhu Village became busy together.
Although every household will inevitably have some minor conflicts and frictions in normal times, when encountering major events, the entire village of Cuizhu Village is still very united.
After a while, the area around Cuizhu Village was lit up with torches.
Sun Qinglong and Hei Niu spent a long time swimming in the river to the west, but they couldn't find the ingot.
After the two of them came out of the water dripping wet, indicating that there was nothing in the river, Xu Dajiang breathed a sigh of relief.
There is none in the river, which at least means that the child may still be alive!
Zhuqing also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although she was ready to rescue people, she still didn't want anything to happen to the child. Moreover, the child had been missing for a long time. If it really fell into the river, it would not be possible to fish it out.
It can be saved!
Yuanbao's grandmother heard that there was no one in the river, so she only chanted Amitabha.
At this moment, she was most afraid of hearing the news that Yuan Bao was found in the river.
However, the people from Cuizhu Village went out to search for most of the night but could not bring back any news about Yuan Bao.
"Uncle Li Zheng, we have searched all over the country, but we have not found Yuanbao, and we have not heard of anyone seeing Yuanbao!"
Everyone who was sent out said this to Li Zheng.
Yuanbao's grandmother Liu almost fainted after hearing this: "Yuanbao, my poor Yuanbao! Where did he go? Why did he disappear all of a sudden!"
He didn't sleep all night, and there were green shadows under Li Zheng's eyes. The loss of a child in the village was a big deal, and he couldn't take it lightly.
"Well, Damn Dajiang, don't cry. It's not necessarily a bad thing that the Yuanbao hasn't been found right now. I'm going to go to the county office right now and inform the county about the matter and ask the county to issue a notice.
Let everyone identify Yuan Bao's portrait, and maybe we can get him back!" Li Zheng comforted Mrs. Liu.
He was indeed prepared to go looking for it like this. Regarding Li Zheng's approach, Zhu Qing also felt that it was spot on.
This was ancient times, and there were no modern advanced technologies and DNA tests. Therefore, if the child was lost, it would be more difficult to find it than in modern times.
Even in this modern age where science and technology are so advanced, if some children are lost, they may never be found again.
However, even though Li Zheng went to the county to report, and County Magistrate Guan also specially arranged for people to make notices and pictures, more than half a month passed, and more than half a year passed, but the ingot was still not recovered.
The disappearance of Yuan Bao cast a great shadow on the hearts of the villagers in Cuizhu Village. For a long time, adults did not allow their children to escape their sight.
Therefore, Zhuqing's job as a helper at Doctor Qian's house was rejected by Wang.
Ms. Wang had no way of imagining what it would be like if her daughter also disappeared. She felt that just imagining it could drive her crazy.
Yuanbao's grandmother, Mrs. Liu, completely broke up with her daughter-in-law Zhu Chunxiang after Yuanbao disappeared. She moved to live alone in a small house behind her son's house, crying all day long. When Yuanbao grew up and came back, she
When she was crying, her eyes were blinded by crying. Of course, this is a story for later, let’s not mention it for now.
After Zhuqing was forced by Wang to quit her job at Doctor Qian's house, she was busy making peppermint oil and growing peppermint at home.
Wang and Zhu Qing went to inspect the wasteland that Li Zheng had mentioned carefully. Facing the thorny wasteland, Wang didn't have much objection: "This land is actually not bad! Look at these grass leaves.
Fertilizer! If the land is really barren, the grass leaves will basically be yellow." After all, Wang is an expert at farming and has her own understanding of the land.
Seeing that Wang had no objection, Zhuqing quickly followed Li Zheng's suggestion and asked his father, Sun Fucheng, to press his fingerprints and obtain the land deed.
This wasteland used up Zhuqing's five taels of silver.
So as soon as she got the land, Wang couldn't wait to set a fire on the wasteland and burn all the thorns and weeds on it.
"Qingya, these have been burned to ashes and can be used as fertilizer. I don't think we can grow mint now. Let's plant a season of beans first. When the beans are ripe, the mint will also set seeds. Next spring, we will plant them all.
Mint!" Wang told Zhu Qing her plan.
When it comes to farming, Zhuqing is indeed not as good as Wang. Professional things still need to be done by professionals. Therefore, she agreed to Wang's arrangement and also put forward additional opinions.
"Mom, let's keep some of the beans to eat ourselves. The rest can be ground into soybean oil and sold. We can also take back the bean dregs and make cakes! When we have money in the spring, our family can raise a few chickens.
You can let the chickens lay eggs, and your family will have eggs all year round.”
Wang smiled and nodded: "Well, that's a good idea. Our days will definitely get better and better!"
There is a reason why she said that.
Nowadays, peppermint oil is not only sold well at Mr. Liang, Zhuqing has already received the money several times according to the ratio of 30:70.
Moreover, Zhuqing's second uncle's private school also asked Zhuqing to buy a lot of peppermint oil. Not only his private school, but also students in other schools who had a close relationship with the students there also asked him to buy peppermint oil after hearing about the wonderful effects of peppermint oil.
People came to buy it. This peppermint oil suddenly seemed to have become a special item for scholars around here. Almost every scholar who used peppermint oil had some scent of peppermint oil on his body.
Even some arty people are proud of the scent of mint on their bodies. Therefore, there are still many people who come to buy Zhuqing's mint oil.
In addition, Li Zheng's eldest sister, Huang Sunshi, saw the wonderful effect of peppermint oil in relieving heat. When she returned, she also asked Zhuqing and bought dozens of bottles of peppermint oil.
After she returned home and spread the word about the benefits of peppermint oil, Zhuqing's family even had several businessmen from other places come to buy the recipe for making peppermint oil from Zhuqing.
Zhuqing's husband, Mr. Mo, also responded with good news. Mr. Mo found that Zhuqing's peppermint oil was indeed good, and asked Zhuqing to send it to him regularly in measured quantities.
With so much business confidence, Wang is full of longing for the future.
As Zhu Qing predicted before, what they are currently worried about is no longer the market for peppermint oil, but how to produce peppermint oil as quickly as possible to meet market demand.
Of course, in order to temporarily control this business, Zhuqing did not increase the production of peppermint oil without limit as Wang expected. Instead, it controlled it within a certain range and never stopped selling it once it was sold out.
Make more.
By doing this, Zhu Qing invisibly made peppermint oil even more valuable and hard to find. Originally, Zhu Qing and Mr. Liang sold the peppermint oil at a price of twenty cents a bottle, but it was actually resold for as much as a hundred cents!
The Zhuqing family's family situation is becoming more and more prosperous in a way that is obvious to everyone.
Li Zheng also admired Zhu Qing's way of making money. He followed the advice of his daughter-in-law Aunt Juying and sent his grandson Zhuzi to the banker's school. He came and went with Zhu Shan every day. In order to ensure that both of them
To ensure the safety of the child, Yuri Zheng personally drove the mule cart to pick him up.
This incident has given the Zhuqing family a lot of face in Cuizhu Village!
