Although Lin Guoqing felt that his wife hadn't held her fart well, he still thought about it.
"The point is, I don't know where it's buried. Who can I ask? Even my dad doesn't know!"
"I know." Chen Chunhua said seriously, "Your grandfather appeared in my dream last night."
Lin Guoqing:?
"Last night? We were sitting on the hospital floor, and my grandfather even appeared in your dream?" He began to doubt his life. "Shouldn't he have given it to me? Why did he give it to you?"
Chen Chunhua said calmly, "Maybe he is more satisfied with me as his granddaughter-in-law and thinks I am more reliable than you."
Lin Guoqing was dumbfounded. Could it be because he hadn't gone to the grave to burn paper money in recent years? No, Grandpa, listen to my explanation. The situation has been too tense in recent years...
"Where is that thing?" After repenting to his ancestors in his heart for three seconds, he still couldn't suppress his curiosity and asked.
Chen Chunhua waved at him, asking him to come closer. After the man leaned his head closer, she whispered in his ear,
"It's right under the chicken coop, about two meters deep."
Lin Guoqing: ...
"Two meters? Do you know how tall I am?"
He was only about 1.75 meters tall, which was considered tall among his peers in the village. Chen Chunhua said that the treasure was buried two meters deep. Could he climb out after digging it out?
Besides, if you want to dig a hole about two meters deep, do you think your neighbors are all deaf and blind?
Chen Chunhua punched him and said, "I didn't say we have to dig it out now. I just wanted to let you know. If we have a chance, we can dig a little deeper. With the chicken coop blocking it, it won't be that obvious."
Lin Guoqing thought about it and it made sense. But then again,
"You're not thinking that our family is rich now because grandpa told you about this, so you're just wasting the eggs and oil in that jar? Well, I'm telling you, once you dig this thing out, you can only hide it for now. You can't use it, and you can't sell it..."
As he spoke, his voice became a little higher, causing Lin Shumei, who was lying in the quilt, to hum a few times, and then she punched her face with her little fists, digging at it continuously.
Chen Chunhua coaxed her daughter while glaring at Lin Guoqing.
"Can't you speak a little more gently? Do you think I'm just playing a trick on you?!"
Lin Guoqing knew he was in the wrong, so he shrank his neck and kept silent. After his little daughter fell asleep again, Chen Chunhua continued to talk nonsense.
"I wasn't planning on making a living from that stuff. I just figured since Grandpa had told me about it in my dream, I should get it out early and put it away. As for the money... the last time you went to Su County, didn't you say that some people there were secretly growing pumpkins and potatoes at the foot of the mountain?"
Lin Guoqing nodded, "We have everything, including radish and yam, and in summer we have wild rice stem!" He suddenly realized,
"You want us to imitate them and plant it secretly? No way. It's good enough to have some big-headed green onions in that small space in the yard. Our village has no mountains, only rivers. Planting anything will be discovered by the team..."
"Who told you to grow vegetables?! Who told you to ask them to buy them?"
"Ah? Buy? I think we have enough vegetables at home, but the main problem is the lack of rice..."
For the first time, Chen Chunhua felt that her husband was not very smart and actually thought he was buying it to eat!
"I told you to ask them to buy some and then take them to the county to sell! Those people in the county rely entirely on food coupons for food and don't have land to grow their own crops. The supply from the supply and marketing cooperative is limited, so there must be a shortage of vegetables!"
Lin Guoqing looked at his wife and finally came to his senses.
"You want me to... engage in speculation?"
"How did it become speculation?" Chen Chunhua glanced at him.
"When you don't have enough food at home, you ask your fellow villagers to borrow some vegetables. You give them as a thank you, thinking you can't take them for free. Then you realize you bought too much and can't finish it at home. You think it's shameful to waste it, so you plan to give it to those in need."
"They all had high moral standards and felt it was a bit embarrassing to take our food for free, so they wanted to give us some money as a thank you. I couldn't refuse, so I had to accept it."
Lin Guoqing smiled and helped his wife finish the next sentence. Thinking about it this way, it seemed that it really could be possible!
"This is just something that can't be done during the day." Chen Chunhua gently patted her little daughter's butt, but she was thinking of her little grandson later.
Decades later, the chubby one or two-year-old was all chubby, nothing like Xiaoying, who was at the age when she should have gained weight, but you could touch her bones when you patted her butt.
She closed her eyes, hiding her distressed look, and when she opened them, only determination remained.
"We have to work during the day, so asking for leave all the time will definitely arouse suspicion. And if we go out to resell in broad daylight, we'll easily be caught. Let's go after work. We can't row the boat, and if we meet people on the river, we'll have nowhere to hide."
It takes time to walk there, and it takes time to walk to the county after picking the vegetables. We should be able to reach the county in the early morning, but that would be too early..."
She thought for a moment and added, "If we have enough time, isn't there a mountain on the way to Su County? It'll still be dark when we get there, so we can pick some bamboo shoots and take them with us!"
…People who cook at home don't get up late, so someone will definitely go grocery shopping around 4 or 5. You need to be back before 8:00. A little later is okay, but not too late.”
Chen Chunhua sat there, talking in a low voice. Lin Guoqing was stunned. He never realized that his wife had such plans. Everything had been arranged step by step.
Chen Chunhua heard about these things later, when she was old and sitting at the door basking in the sun, chatting with a group of old men and women and reminiscing about the past.
It has to be said that after the opening up, those who got started the fastest were superior in both brains and courage. They would never sit and wait for death at any time. Even at this time, they would find ways to take risks to make some money to improve their lives.
Now, this is a good opportunity to enrich Chen Chunhua's life.
"You need to observe more in the first few days, and you can find a regular schedule. Then I'll take turns with you, you one day, I'll take the day, and on the nights I don't go, I can still take care of the child and get a good night's sleep."
In fact, she also wanted to say that during the lunch break at noon, she could try to dig some more bamboo shoots or go to the river to catch some fish.
Later I thought about it and decided not to talk about it for now and wait until their vegetable business is stable.
Glancing at Lin Guoqing and finding that he was still in a daze, Chen Chunhua reached out and patted his arm, "What's wrong? Say something!"
Lin Guoqing suddenly came back to his senses. He had just been imagining the scene of going to the city to find someone to buy food coupons after making money.
When his wife asked him, he quickly sat up and clapped his hands. After being glared at, he held his own hands again and said with a silly smile,
"Great! I think what you said is very good! If everything goes well, our family will not only have rice and oil this year, but we can actually eat seven eggs every day!"
