Zhuang Mingcheng unscrewed the small iron box and looked in surprise at what was inside; this was the first time he had ever seen Jinsha.
He held one up close and looked at it, thinking it was quite pretty.
"ah……"
"No, Comrade Zhuang Mingcheng, I need to have a serious talk with you!"
Lu Fangfang felt increasingly heartbroken and could no longer bear it.
She's usually very conscientious and eager to do things that support the military and the people, but... but...
"Go ahead and say it, I'm listening."
Zhuang Mingcheng looked at Jinsha and said casually.
"You can report the gold mine matter to your superiors, but the gold dust in the stream and lake is mine, mine, all mine."
"Can you fish them all out?"
Zhuang Mingcheng was amused.
"Don't worry about whether I can finish it all, it's all mine anyway."
Lu Fangfang said stubbornly, looking at Zhuang Mingcheng as if he had taken away her gold mine.
It hurts, it really hurts so much.
"Cheng, it's yours, it's all yours, it's all yours."
Zhuang Mingcheng smiled and put down the gold dust, then returned the small iron box to his wife.
He never considered making decisions for his wife, let alone reporting to his superiors.
He pressed his wife for answers simply because he didn't want any secrets between husband and wife.
Whether it's gold nuggets, or gold in Jinxi, Jinhu, or gold mines, he has no right to make decisions for his wife.
He didn't discover it; his wife did.
His wife trusted him, which is why she told him about it.
He was secretly delighted and happy, but this happiness stemmed from his wife's trust in him, not from the gold.
A wife's trust is far more valuable than gold.
"Waaah, Comrade Zhuang Mingcheng, I'm serious."
Zhuang Mingcheng suppressed his smile, pulled his wife over, and sat down facing her.
"Comrade Lu Fangfang, I'm serious. You discovered the gold mine and Jinxi. You have to make the decision yourself. No matter what, I, Zhuang Mingcheng, will respect your decision!"
"real?"
Zhuang Mingcheng nodded vigorously.
Lu Fangfang was stunned. She suddenly realized that she had been judging others by her own petty standards.
"Waaah..."
She pulled Zhuang Mingcheng close and hugged him tightly.
Stroking her husband's head, Lu Fangfang gave him a big kiss on the forehead.
"Okay, okay."
Zhuang Mingcheng patted his lover's back. He understood her; after all, she was a golden girl, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.
After a long while, Lu Fangfang wiped away her tears and looked at her husband again.
"Zhuang Mingcheng, I'm not very enlightened. I want to go to the lake to salvage gold dust. As for the gold mine in the mountain, I'll do that in a few years..."
Zhuang Mingcheng smiled and hugged his lover again.
“Okay, let’s go pan for gold. But we need to plan this carefully. You can’t go alone. We’ll go together. I’ll keep watch while you pan for gold in the river. We absolutely can’t let anyone find out.”
"Let me tell you, we can't exchange this gold for money or make jewelry. We'll just hoard it and use it when we leave this place. Apart from the gold nugget Xiaohua gave you, don't you dare to be vain and secretly make jewelry to wear, understand?"
Lu Fangfang nodded vigorously.
Hearing Zhuang Mingcheng's words, she felt even more embarrassed.
That's a perfectly respectable regimental commander, and he went along with me to steal gold. I'm really being irresponsible.
Even if she didn't try to salvage the gold, she didn't want to report the gold mine to her superiors. The movement had just begun, and the whole country was in chaos with armed conflict.
A gold mine, so coveted. If this were to be made public, who knows how much trouble it would cause? The Qilian Mountains would never be peaceful again. Right now, she just wants to live her own quiet life.
Let's wait until society is stable before discussing the gold mine.
Um……
"Waaah, Mingcheng, I am not a noble person, I am not someone who has transcended base desires."
“I just love gold, and I’m going to hoard it. What if you change careers in the future? I want to save it for our retirement and for our children to spend.”
Zhuang Mingcheng couldn't help but laugh.
"We're all just ordinary people, so don't worry about it. Your superiors don't need your little bit of gold. Alright, alright, if I ever lose my job, you can support me."
After comforting his wife for a while and seeing that she had calmed down, Zhuang Mingcheng went to the outer room.
He cooked some porridge and boiled some eggs, then went to the yard to wash himself thoroughly.
Inside the room, Lu Fangfang stopped worrying about it.
Anyway, she just loves money and has nothing to be ashamed of. She has already decided that when she has time, she will take Zhuang Mingcheng to pan for gold.
Just like Zhuang Mingcheng said, he would keep watch while he panned for gold in the lake and made a big splash.
After figuring things out, Lu Fangfang felt completely relieved.
Sitting at her desk, she took the gold nugget and placed it on a plate.
She unscrewed a box of ink and poured it onto the gold dog head.
The jet-black ink quickly stained the surface of the gold nugget black. Lu Fangfang took a pen and flipped the gold nugget over in the dish so that it could come into more contact with the ink.
She doesn't plan to take it out tonight. She'll let the gold nugget soak in ink for a few more days, then coat it with black lacquer. Once the gold is completely unrecognizable, she'll leave it on her desk as a paperweight.
Just as Zhuang Mingcheng said, the matter of gold must be kept well hidden, and not a single word of it should get out.
Lu Fangfang made a decision; she didn't even plan to wear the piece of gold that Xiao Hua had given her.
"I'll just hoard it, I won't spend it."
After putting on her clothes, Lu Fangfang went to the outer room, where she saw Zhuang Mingcheng peeling eggs and feeding Xiao Hua and the little Tibetan fox.
