Chapter 154 Jin Family
Old Jin heard from his grandson that Chu Hong and Gu Ci were going to Shun'an City, so he asked Chu Chu to call Chu Hong over.
Before the incident last year, he also realized that something was not right and kept a secret.
The gold shop opened by the Jin family has been passed down for several generations.
A few years ago, he handed over all the gold shops and commercial shops, but he also kept a lot of good things.
It was also because his son spoke carelessly after drinking, which was heard by someone with ulterior motives, and he was eventually plotted against.
Not only did he lose his life and property, but he and his grandson were also exiled to the countryside.
But before the accident, he realized that something was not right, so he kept a secret and buried several small boxes.
Of course, not all of them are buried in their own yards, but somewhere else.
Fortunately, he was cautious enough, because their former home was almost completely dug up.
Those people suspected that he buried the good things at home?
He was squatting outside. When he saw Chu Hong coming over, he handed her two pieces of paper and whispered, "This place used to be my family's villa, but it was later taken away. Before we got into trouble, people from the machinery factory were arranged to live there."
"There is another old house. We don't know what's going on there now. You can go and take a look."
"If you can dig them out, they'll all be yours."
Chu Hong was a little hesitant to answer: "Maybe you can go back in a few years?"
She could definitely go back, but she couldn't explain it clearly and couldn't promise him.
"Take it." Old Jin smiled bitterly: "At my age, I might go to see Tathagata in a few years."
"Besides, if those places are used for other purposes, and they are demolished and rebuilt, I don't know who will benefit."
He looked at Chu Hong and said seriously, "We, grandpa and grandson, are alive today thanks to your family."
"If these things were still there, I would be willing to give them to you."
Chu Hong was also afraid that someone else would get the advantage, so after a moment's hesitation, she put the two pieces of paper away and said, "If I can find it, we'll each take half."
Lao Jin smiled helplessly: "If you can really get it back, it's your luck. It's useless to give it to me. I can't eat or drink it. If someone finds out, it will cost me my life."
"If you can really get it, I'll have to trouble you to look after Shaocheng in the future."
There was one place he hadn't told her about, which he wanted to leave for his grandson.
After all, it is less likely to be discovered if buried in the mountains.
As for these two places, if Chu Hong can get them back, she will definitely take better care of her grandson in the future.
Even if she can't get it back, or someone else has gotten there first, she will appreciate it if I give it to her sincerely.
Of course, he sincerely hoped that these two places had not been taken away by anyone.
Chu Hong returned home, and Gu Ci was about to come out and call her for dinner: "Let's finish dinner and clean up the things?"
He was also very happy to think that he would be able to go out with Chu Hong tomorrow.
Chu Hong responded, "Take all the watches away and see if we can get rid of them."
There will be plenty of opportunities to make money in the future, but now she just wants to eat and drink well, and keeping healthy is the most important thing.
When she saw another pot of pickled vegetable noodles with cornmeal mixed in, she sighed helplessly: "Sister, why don't you fry a few eggs?"
The materials for building the house were said to be borrowed, but in fact, they were paid for privately.
Those who come to work say openly that they are here to help, but of course they also have to be paid privately.
Secretary Song was very generous and gave everyone one dollar a day.
But labor and materials are not expensive nowadays. The two new houses, the walls, and a few small houses in the yard only cost a total of more than 260 yuan.
Half of it is wages, and the other half is material costs.
Since the house was built, Chu Tong started to be frugal whenever she cooked.
There is no need to think about bacon, and even eggs are not included.
In the past, people would scoop half a spoonful of lard into the pot, but now they just pick up a little with chopsticks.
Either they are wild vegetables, pickles, pickled mustard greens, or radish strips.
This food forced Chu Hong to work hard.
When she cooks, at least she is willing to use oil.
In fact, the meals cooked by Chu Tong are also common meals in the village nowadays.
And Chu Hong is the prodigal in everyone's eyes.
Chu Tong had a reason: "We have run out of eggs at home. I will go buy some when it gets dark, so that no one will see us and gossip about us."
Of course, they would not say that they bought it for their own consumption, but rather received it under the pretext of bringing it to their aunt.
After all, everyone in the village knew about it, so Chu Dan went to take care of his aunt who had broken her leg.
Chu Hong scooped a small spoonful of lard into the pot and stirred it with a large spoon: "Sister, you must have forgotten to add oil. Now you can finally see the oil splashing."
Chu Tong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Yes, yes, you put so much lard, it's enough for other people to eat three or five meals."
Chu Hong argued: "Everyone in our family works, even Xiao Yuer works hard to dig wild vegetables, so we still have to eat better."
Wu Xiu also echoed Chu Hong's words: "Yes, the work in the fields is heavier now, and it really needs some oil and water."
Her main task now is to be a barefoot doctor in the medical room, but during the spring and autumn harvest seasons, she also has to work in the fields.
If Chu Hong had stayed at home, she, as the director of the women's department, would still have to go to the fields to work during the busy farming season.
Therefore, Chu Hong was very glad that she had avoided the busy spring season. She came close to Wu Xiu and whispered, "Let Dad drive us there tomorrow. We can buy some pork bones when we come back, or go to the black market and buy some fish or meat."
Chu Tong heard this and immediately said, "Second uncle gave us a bowl of mixed fish the other day. We don't need to buy fish."
In fact, after Song Laoer put the fish in the basket, he could send some to their family from time to time, so they could have a meat dish every now and then.
Chu Hong said, "Small fish have many bones, big fish are more delicious? Fish head tofu is so delicious, and braised fish cubes with some spicy sauce go well with rice."
Xiao Yuer couldn't help swallowing his saliva when he heard this, and looked at her eagerly: "Second Aunt, can you come back soon? Remember to buy big fish when you come back."
Although she is young, she has already understood that only by following her second aunt can she have delicious food.
Because my second aunt is rich and willing to spend it.
Wu Xiu couldn't help laughing when she saw her granddaughter's greedy look: "No need to wait for your second aunt, let your grandfather go buy it tomorrow."
Even though they treated Xiaoyuer as their granddaughter, the child was already accustomed to calling them grandpa and grandma, so they did not force her to change her words.
After work, Secretary Song and his son-in-law came back from helping out at Song Laoer's house. When they heard Wu Xiu say she was going to buy something, he smiled and asked, "What do you want me to buy?"
Wu Xiu asked him to send Chu Hong and Gu Ci to town tomorrow morning and buy some things back.
Chu Tong served him noodles and also asked Chu Hong to serve noodles for Gu Ci as well.
After they finished eating the noodles and washed the dishes, it was already dark, and then Secretary Song and Chu Tong went out with baskets to collect eggs.
When Secretary Song went to collect eggs, he also asked people if they wanted to go to town, saying that he would go there in a ox cart the next day.
As a result, not many people went to the town, but many asked him to bring back lamp oil, matches, soy sauce and other things.
