Chapter 55: Found something

The next morning, Wang Bin had not returned yet and Xia Jing's foot had not yet fully recovered, so she stayed at the educated youth site for another day.

Xia Liang heard some noise next door, and sure enough, she saw Liu Guizi coming again.

It was still chosen after the educated youth left, and two nests were brought back.

Xia Liang doesn't quite understand Xia Jing now. Her sister has always been very ambitious. Would she really give herself to an old bachelor in the village just for the sake of her two children?

This matter has nothing to do with her. Xia Jing cheated on Zhou Hao, and she would only applaud them.

Xia Jing was brave enough and was not afraid of being discovered. If that happened, her dream of marrying into the Zhou family would be shattered.

Even though Xia Liang didn't care, they were the only two people in the house during the day.

Occasionally, she could hear the blushing voices from next door, and Xia Liang sometimes felt a little embarrassed. Except when necessary, she usually hid in her room to read.

She actually remembered some of the questions from that year. Xia Liang felt more confident about the college entrance examination in a few months.

Nowadays, the village chief's family no longer has meat every meal, but it is still much better than what most people eat. Compared with the days when he was a sent-down youth, it is a world of difference.

Aunt Li even gave her an egg every day, which made Xia Liang feel bad. She didn't know if it was because of the egg, but the small bag on her chest actually grew a little bigger.

Now it seems that the road is no longer smooth, at least it is a small bun.

"Haha, Sister Xia Liang, am I right? Eating eggs is really good for your breasts. Yours have grown."

Yang Xiaohong found out about it when they were sleeping at night. Xia Liang blushed when she heard her frank words.

Fortunately, there were only two of them in the room, otherwise Xia Liang would be so embarrassed.

"Let my mother continue to make eggs for you in the future. Make them in different ways, Sister Xia Liang. You are actually very beautiful."

Xia Liang's face has some flesh on it now. It's not as dry as before. Xia Liang herself is also surprised. How could she be so stupid? She has been hungry all the time for a ruthless sister.

"Liangliang, this is a fried egg made for you."

At dinner time, Aunt Li specially used a white porcelain bowl to serve eggs.

Her words made everyone at the table look at Xia Liang, who was so embarrassed that she almost crawled under the table.

"Liangliang, I'm not saying this to you, auntie, but sometimes you really can't treat yourself too badly, you know?"

"Look at you. You always depended on your sister for everything. What happened? You raised her to be curvy. Now look at yours. Don't you feel guilty?"

Listening to Aunt Li's nagging, Xia Liang felt warm in her heart. Her mother had never nagged her like this before.

She always said that she was the eldest in the family, so she should do more work and not let her younger brothers and sisters do anything. She should eat less, and only eat when her younger brothers and sisters are full.

In all these years, she has never resisted. No wonder people say she has a stubborn personality.

"Uncle Yang, something bad has happened, something bad has happened..."

Everyone was eating when they suddenly heard shouting outside. The village chief quickly stood up and walked out, and Ning Zhiyuan and the others also stood up and walked out.

"What's the rush?"

"It's a reservoir..."

The man bent his waist and took a few deep breaths. He must have run too fast and was out of breath even when he spoke.

"What happened to the reservoir?"

The people at the reservoir should have returned by now. In the past, they would stop working at about this time, so no one really noticed.

"Something was dug up there...something was dug up there. Yang Laowu asked me to come and inform you. He also sent people to inform other villages, asking you village heads to get together and see how to deal with it."

Did they dig something out? The village chief was puzzled:

"That place has always been a depression. When it rains a lot, there will be a water bay. There is no way there is anything in it."

Their ancestors have lived here for generations, and they have never heard of anything special happening there.

"I don't know about this either, so I asked you village chiefs to go and take a look. What should we do with this reservoir?"

The man finally recovered his breath. The village chief nodded with a worried look on his face:

"This reservoir has been planned for several years, so we must not make any mistakes."

"The land here is not good, it's all dry land, and the grain production is too low. Everyone is waiting for the reservoir to be built so that the land can be irrigated."

Everyone understands this principle. How much does dry land produce per mu? How much does irrigated land produce?

If the reservoir is built, most of the land in their village can be turned into irrigated land, and the output can at least double, so the villagers will definitely have no problem eating enough.

But now this incident has happened, not only the village chief is worried, but the villagers who are working there are also very worried.

The village chief didn't even bother to continue eating. He put on a coat, picked up his pipe, turned around and left.

"Dad, please finish your meal before you leave."

They had only eaten a few bites just now, and Aunt Li was worried that the village chief was hungry, as he was the entire labor force of her family.

"No, I'll talk to you when I get back."

The village chief refused to eat, but Aunt Li took two mixed-grain steamed buns, trotted after him, and stuffed them into his hands:

"Hurry up and eat on the way. We don't know how long we'll be busy there. You have a weak stomach, so don't torture yourself."

The village chief tightened his grip on the steamed bun but did not refuse.

After the village chief left, everyone ate much faster.

"Wang Bin, are you going over there too?"

Just after finishing the meal, Yang Xiaohong saw Wang Bin pushing the 28-bar and asked suspiciously.

"Brother Yuan wants to go over and take a look."

Ning Zhiyuan's legs can't walk too far, so Wang Bin has to take him there.

Yang Xiaohong also became interested when she heard it, and she turned around and went to the room to find Xia Liang.

"Sister Xia Liang, what did you find in the reservoir?"

It must be something extraordinary, otherwise, I wouldn't have come back to report it.

Xia Liang frowned. He didn't know what could be dug out from this reservoir. In his previous life, the reservoir took more than ten days to discover. Now it was discovered much earlier.

"Sister Xia Liang, let's go and take a look."

Yang Xiaohong is a person who loves to be lively. She held Xia Liang's hand and acted coquettishly.

Xia Liang also wanted to go there, but she didn't know that the things she dug out now would be different from those in her previous life. She remembered that there were many good things and antiques there.

They were all very valuable, and villagers from several villages were jealous and went to steal them in the middle of the night. Later, soldiers came to search and said that if you didn't obey and hid the things inside, you would be imprisoned.

At that time, many people still had a lucky mentality. It was not until they were checked house by house that they handed over the information reluctantly.

Ancient tomb?

Xia Liang curled his lips, it's really good. Who wouldn't be tempted to see so many antiques? When the two of them arrived at the reservoir, they were already surrounded by nearby villagers.

"Oh, how come they come so quickly?"

Yang Xiaohong pouted. They just ate a few more mouthfuls of rice after hearing the news, and the result was...

If I had known this, I should have come here as soon as possible.

"Sister Xia Liang, I find it very strange that we can actually dig something up here."

Yang Xiaohong stretched her neck to look, and Xia Liang also tried, but could see nothing.

There are too many people.

Seeing that no one could see it, Yang Xiaohong pulled Xia Liang's hand and forced it inside.

Although she was not big, she was very strong and flexible, so she was able to squeeze in.

When she reached the innermost part, Xia Liang saw Ning Zhiyuan and Wang Bin were also there.

Several village heads were there, and the educated youth from their villages were also watching curiously. Ning Zhiyuan squatted down, not knowing what he was looking at.

Yang Xiaohong pulled Xia Liang forward. Wang Bin saw the two of them and smiled:

"You guys are here too?"

"Wang Bin, what is this?"
