Chapter 045: So obedient and excellent!
Lu Jiansen took the cloth bag from the little girl's hand, and then spread out the money inside to let the moisture evaporate.
Seeing that everyone was staring at him, he turned to the villagers and said, "Call your village chief over here to see which family it is."
"Okay...Okay!" A villager responded and ran away quickly.
Lu Jiansen took people to dry the money, counted it, and found that there were a total of 1,231 yuan. This amount of money was considered a large sum and not something that an average family would have.
So he sent two warriors to watch here and went on to do other things.
Gu Xiaoxi naturally didn't stay there either. She left the clothes in the basket here to dry, and then she picked up the basket and went to pick up some clothes!
When the village chief and the commune secretary of Shiqiao Village hurried over and saw the pile of dried money and half-dried clothes, they were so excited that tears fell from their eyes.
After understanding the situation, they found Lu Jiansen and said, "Captain Lu, thank you so much! If this amount is 1,231 yuan, it is the payment for goods from our commune supply and marketing cooperative. I never thought that I could get it back. It's all thanks to you, the People's Liberation Army!"
Lu Jiansen nodded. "Now that we have confirmed the ownership of the money, you can take it back! The village chief will take care of the clothes and other things we found!"
"Yes, yes! Thank you! Thank you!" The village chief couldn't stop thanking.
Before leaving with their things, the commune secretary and the village chief made a special trip to thank Gu Xiaoxi.
Gu Xiaoxi was also very happy that she could help others.
She thought that her good fortune for the day would end here, but when the village chief and the others disappeared, she was judged to have 10 merit points, and the skill store also refreshed a new skill for her: Treasure Appraisal (requires 10 merit points).
Gu Xiaoxi was shocked!
A garbage collector wants to learn the art of identifying treasures? Does that mean she should look for treasures in the garbage?
When she had used up all her merit points and learned the art of identifying treasures, a special hint suddenly came to her mind: "A garbage purifier must be able to judge the value of items, and must have sufficient survival and self-protection abilities!"
Gu Xiaoxi rubbed her suddenly swollen brows. It turned out that all the skills that appeared in the skill store before were to enable her to survive and protect herself!
If you think about it this way, it makes sense!
With the bonus of treasure identification, she found that her vision had improved. Not only could she see more clearly at a distance, but she could also see farther than before.
Then, somehow, she saw some rocks glowing green in the distance.
The green light is very clear and beautiful.
She rubbed her eyes, looked twice, and when she found that she was not mistaken, she walked away.
Then she saw that there was not just one stone glowing green, but several, both large and small.
She took a deep breath, then squatted down and pretended to rest, throwing a small green stone into the junk warehouse.
The next moment, her eyes widened.
She never imagined that this inconspicuous little stone would turn out to be a emerald green jadeite.
So, these glowing stones are all raw jadeite?
She didn't care about anything else and threw all the glowing stones, big and small, into the junk warehouse.
As expected, after removing the impurities, they are all extremely beautiful jadeite.
Although the trade-in option would have allowed her to divide the jade, she chose not to do so.
After that, she found some things one after another, and inadvertently exchanged old items for new ones in the past two days. Her accumulated points increased to 420, but this was still a long way from upgrading!
She thought that when she had the chance, it would be best to go to the scrap yard and buy the books that the grandfather had collected.
At noon, the first battalion set up camp outside Shika Village and cooked some food. Gu Xiaoxi was arranged by Lu Jiansen to rest nearby.
Not long after, the people from the Fourth Battalion also arrived at Shiqiao Village.
Seeing that there was only one woman, Gu Xiaoxi, in the first battalion, and that she and Lu Jiansen were sitting side by side to rest, Modsheng, who was leading the team, could not help but sneer.
"Captain Lu brought his wife along when he went out on a mission. They really can't be separated!"
Gu Xiaoxi became unhappy when he heard these weird words.
Lu Jiansen soothed him softly, "Don't get angry with people who don't know how to do things. His wife is lazy and didn't come out to help with the disaster relief work because she was afraid of the hard work. Don't bother with her."
Gu Xiaoxi felt happy immediately because although Lu Jiansen's tone was calm, every word he said touched her heart.
"Well, I don't bother with irrelevant people!"
Maude was so angry that he was about to argue when the chief of Shikao Village came over carrying a wild rabbit.
"Captain Lu, these were captured by the young men in the village. There are so many people in the village that it is difficult to divide them. The village decided to give them to you. Thank you comrades in your unit, and especially thank you to your wife for helping our commune recover so much money and saving us from huge losses. Thank you so much!"
Lu Jiansen looked at his little girl and refused, "No need. These are what we should do."
"It's just a hare. I know the rules of your army. Soldiers don't take anything from the masses, but we gave this hare to your wife. We farmers believe in repaying kindness, so you can't refuse it!"
After saying this, the village chief insisted on leaving the things behind and ran away.
Modsheng's face fell, and he felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Did Lu Jiansen's wife get any money today?
How can I be so lucky?
Gu Xiaoxi really wanted to eat the spicy rabbit meat, so she whispered to Lu Jiansen, "How about we eat it? We can help the village recover some losses and do more work in the afternoon."
A smile flashed across Lu Jiansen's eyes, and he nodded lovingly, "Okay!"
The little girl's eyes were shining, it was obvious that she was eating rabbit meat!
"Then I'll peel the rabbit skin and you cook it?" Gu Xiaoxi liked the rabbit skin and wanted to try out his master-level knife cutting skills, so he found a job for himself.
Lu Jiansen originally wanted to do it himself, but the little girl was very interested, so she nodded and said, "Okay, be careful not to hurt your hands."
As he said this, he handed the little girl a military dagger.
When Gu Xiaoxi saw the dagger, his eyes lit up. It looked very sharp!
She took the dead rabbit aside and began to skin it.
Mo Desheng was about to leave, but when he saw Gu Xiaoxi's skillful skinning technique out of the corner of his eye, his eyes darkened again.
Gu Xiaoxi completely ignored the outsiders and peeled the rabbit skin very carefully.
The master's knife skills are really amazing. After skinning a rabbit, the skin is complete and perfect, without even a trace of fat or residual meat.
Even Lu Jiansen was a little surprised when he saw it!
His little girl is really well-behaved and excellent!
The other warriors were full of admiration, and they really were impressed!
