"That's right, he still thinks you're the same as before and haven't changed."
Liu Ping smiled.
"I told him to come back and rest for a while, but he wouldn't. I found a piece of gold, and it unexpectedly inspired him to fight back," Chen Feng joked.
"He's probably embarrassed, but it really is unbelievable. How could there be gold in the ground? Don't tell me, if you told anyone, no one would believe it," Liu Ping sighed.
"Hey, go check again this afternoon and see if there's any left in our field," Liu Ping said expectantly, looking up.
"We'll definitely have to investigate further, but I don't think the chances are high." Chen Feng pursed his lips, not holding out much hope.
Half an hour later, the food was ready, and Chen Feng called his uncle.
"Uncle, dinner is ready. Come back and eat, everyone," Chen Feng said.
Upon hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone replied, "Okay, okay, I understand."
Before long, Liu Ming led his group back to Chen Feng's house.
"Big sister, please get us a basin of water to wash our hands first," Liu Ming said, looking at his hands.
"good."
Liu Ping was getting a bowl when Chen Feng saw this and filled a basin with water for them.
Chen Feng's table couldn't seat so many people, so he brought out the family heirloom kang table and set it up on the kang.
Less than half an hour later, everyone finished eating, had a cigarette and rested for a while, and then picked up their tools to continue working on the land. Chen Feng also picked up his equipment and went with them.
By the afternoon, Chen Feng had searched almost his entire neighborhood but hadn't found another piece of goods, so he shook his head.
It seems this thing is just pure luck; unlike abandoned mines, finding gold is only a matter of time.
When they got home that evening, Liu Ping settled their wages. Liu Ming was too embarrassed to leave immediately, so at Liu Ping's insistence, he ate dinner there that night.
After all, they helped us all day without asking for money and even helped us find someone; it wouldn't be right not to treat them to a meal.
Liu Ping added two more small bok choy dishes for dinner, and Chen Feng opened the remaining can of food.
I forgot about making a vow to the system last time, so I'm making up for it this time.
"That's enough, big sister, that's enough to eat," Liu Ming said, looking at Liu Ping who was still busy.
"It's all done, hurry up and eat," Liu Ping said, bringing over the last dish.
"Fengzi, you can only sell your gold in the county town. Is it easy to sell?" Liu Ming asked.
"They sell well; many gold shops in the county town are buying them," Chen Feng said, picking up a piece of canned yellow peach.
"Okay, as long as it can be sold." Liu Ming nodded, holding his rice bowl and eating with his head down.
"You're full, stop pretending," Liu Ping said, noticing his absent-mindedness.
"No, would I pretend to be here?" Liu Ming smiled as he came to his senses and picked up a piece of food with his chopsticks.
After finishing his meal, Liu Ming didn't stay long; he talked for a while and then left.
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Take a break," Liu Ping said, standing up.
"Oh no, big sister, I still have chores to do at home, I have to go back now," Liu Ming said, shaking his head.
He hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't speak.
Liu Ming wanted to borrow Chen Feng's detector to see if there were any goods in his field, but in the end he was too embarrassed to ask.
After all, Chen Feng might not go gold panning tomorrow, and if he did, he wouldn't be able to borrow the money.
Let's talk about it again when we're sure Chen Feng won't go out.
"Then drive carefully on your way. Call me if you ever turn over in the street," Liu Ping said as she saw him off.
"Okay, I'll call you when you're turning the soil." Liu Ming nodded and walked out of the house.
Chen Feng opened the refrigerator, intending to eat an ice pop, but as soon as he took the ice pop out, he realized something was wrong.
"Damn, this popsicle is so soft, it's going to melt!" Chen Feng said, tearing open the packaging. The popsicle was so melted that he couldn't even pick it up, and the stick had even come out of his hand.
"Oh, how could this be?" Liu Ping walked over and asked, puzzled.
Chen Feng initially thought the refrigerator wasn't cooling down too much, but when he opened it, he found it was already at its maximum setting.
This refrigerator was bought when Liu Ping got married. Chen Feng examined it for a moment and said, "Oh no, the refrigerator is broken."
"No way, is something wrong?" Liu Ping was still trying to fix it, unwilling to give up.
After all, things break and cost money; whether it's repair or replacement, it's a lot of money.
"What should we do? Should we get someone to fix it tomorrow?" Liu Ping said, looking at the refrigerator with a headache.
"Why bother repairing it? This refrigerator is older than me, it's not worth fixing. Let's just buy a new one," Chen Feng said, prying at the melted ice cream in the bag with a stick.
"How much would a refrigerator cost?" Liu Ping frowned, feeling a pang of heartache.
"I remember someone recently bought one. I think a new one only costs seven or eight hundred yuan, but isn't this thing just like a cell phone?"
"They're all divided into high-end and low-end, it depends on how good you want to buy," Chen Feng said.
"Just buy something that's passable, it'll do for now," Liu Ping sighed.
"Let's eat popsicles first, they'll probably all melt soon." Chen Feng took out all the popsicles from the freezer, probably five or six in total.
He couldn't eat it all himself, so he had to let his mother eat with him.
The two sat at the table eating ice cream. Chen Feng thought for a moment and said, "If we're going to buy something, let's just buy a better one and go for it."
"Otherwise, if you buy one for a thousand or eight hundred yuan, it won't be good or bad, and it won't be enough to build a new house in the future. If you sell it, you'll just be waiting to lose money."
"I'll go check on Dongzi and buy it directly online."
Upon hearing this, Liu Ping couldn't help but ask, "Is it reliable to buy things online?"
"It's reliable. Dongzi delivers to the door, even in rural areas. Besides, online shopping is better than physical stores. Physical stores are too risky, and I can't handle them." Chen Feng said, taking out his phone to look online.
After searching for a while, Chen Feng settled on a three-door refrigerator.
"This one is pretty good, it's a big brand, and it costs over four thousand." He showed his phone to his mother.
"Over four thousand? That's too expensive!" Liu Ping was taken aback as soon as she heard the price.
"It's alright. If you're going to buy one, buy a decent one to avoid the hassle of replacing it later. This one can last a long time," Chen Feng said.
"Why don't you wait until you build a new house to buy something this nice? Why not just buy a second-hand one to make do for now?" Liu Ping suggested.
"It's not worth it. Even a second-hand one would cost several hundred yuan, and you'd only get a few dozen yuan when you resell it. You'd just be waiting to lose money."
"I'll buy this one. Wait for me to go out tomorrow and find you a refrigerator," Chen Feng said, having made up his mind.
Seeing that Chen Feng had made up his mind, Liu Ping nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll do as you say. If you can find a refrigerator tomorrow, then we'll buy it and splurge for once."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng chuckled and said, "The refrigerator costs a total of over four thousand. I also took out a piece of gold today. If we take that piece away, another three thousand will be enough."
"Making three thousand a day is a piece of cake, isn't it?"
Liu Ping rolled her eyes and said, "Don't brag. What if you break your story tomorrow?"
"Absolutely not. I'll let you use the new refrigerator the day after tomorrow. Just you wait and see," Chen Feng said confidently.
