The gold nugget was worth about three thousand. Chen Feng put the gold nugget into a bottle, packed up his tools, and walked forward.
On the other side, Lin Nian held a silver coin worth about a hundred yuan in his hand and chuckled.
If things continue like this, he'll be able to build a new house for his grandfather in less than six months.
His house is very old, and sometimes it leaks when it rains. His grandfather stuck a lot of plastic sheeting on the awning, but it didn't help.
Moreover, once they have money, his father won't have to keep going to the city to work in such dangerous jobs.
The thought of enabling his grandfather to live a good life and for the whole family to be together filled him with boundless energy.
His grandfather was so good to him, and what he feared most was that he would want to take care of his parents, but they would be gone. Now it seems that it's not too late.
They searched until evening, and he and Chen Feng went back one after the other. Zheng Ping was the last one to return that day.
When Zheng Ping returned, the campfire had just been lit, and everyone saw that Zheng Ping couldn't stop smiling, and even laughed out loud from time to time.
Hehehe.
"What are you so happy about?" Yin Xing asked, squinting one eye.
"How did you know I found four thousand yuan worth of gold?" Zheng Ping's face lit up with a smile.
"Me...who the hell asked you that?!"
Yin Xing couldn't help but shout.
No wonder he's laughing like that, looks like he struck it rich today, sis.
"I found it in a small pit not far from here, haha."
Zheng Ping put down his bag, sat on a small stool, and laughed uncontrollably, his mouth wide open so much that you could almost see his stomach.
Everyone looked at each other, speechless. "Is your language system malfunctioning? Why are you giving such irrelevant answers?"
"Old Zheng, we're having dinner tonight, so we're cooking noodles. Fengzi's here, so let's open a couple of cans!" someone said grumpily.
"It really is huge! Look how shiny it is, haha." Zheng Ping took the gold out of his pocket and couldn't wait to show it to everyone.
Everyone: "..."
"Wow, it really is huge and shiny! Brother, let's cook the noodles first before showing off, we're hungry," Huang Fei said helplessly.
He could understand Zheng Ping's feelings, but he should put the noodles in the pot first, since they were still hungry.
"Alright, alright, I'll tell you how I found this piece of gold."
"You know what a coincidence, hahaha, I just happened to walk over there and then I didn't notice and I missed a step. I was so angry."
"Then I thought to myself, is this some kind of divine revelation? So I took the detector over there, and to my surprise, it actually went off! Hahahaha!"
"When I pulled it out, wow, it was such a big piece of gold! I can't believe it, I was completely dumbfounded, hahaha."
Zheng Ping laughed so hard he almost fell over, and everyone just looked down at him.
"Forget it, I'll make it. I feel like we'll all starve if we wait for him." Yin Xing shook his head and stood up to get the noodles.
"Old Zheng, how much are you eating today? People are in high spirits when they have a happy occasion, so I bet you'll have a lot more, right?" Yin Xing said, holding a bowl of noodles.
"What? More? I'd be happy if this kind of stuff came even once, let alone more! This is a rare treat, hahaha!" Zheng Ping slapped his thigh and laughed heartily.
Upon hearing this, Yin Xing covered his face, utterly helpless.
So after all that you said, you only heard three words?
Chen Feng was at a loss for words. He went back to the car and got two cans of mutton. Since he had made so much money this time, Zheng Ping definitely had to treat him.
"Two cans should be fine. Add more vegetables; it'll taste better that way. Plus, vegetables are cheap now, so it's good to eat more," Chen Feng said, handing the cans to Yin Xing.
"Cheap? Even if it's cheap, it's still worth more than four thousand. The price of gold is only two yuan less than before, not much less, haha."
Zheng Ping turned to Chen Feng and grinned, showing off his bright white teeth.
"I said vegetables... oh well, never mind, it's fine." Chen Feng stopped mid-sentence, wondering why he was arguing with a mental patient.
"Old Zheng, your wife has run away!" Someone couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to provoke Zheng Ping.
"It ran away? Where could it run to? It'll be mine no matter where it goes, hahaha. Didn't you see I was about to walk over there when I fell into the pit? That's what it's calling me for."
"It can't wait for me to dig it out, hahaha!" Zheng Ping laughed loudly at the man.
Yin Xing squinted at Zheng Ping and couldn't help but pick up a stone.
"Do you think if I hit him on the head like that, he'd come back to normal?"
"No, no, no, Xing-ge, it's not worth it. He's just mentally unstable, not stupid." Lin Nian quickly stood up to stop Yin Xing.
Yin Xing was stopped by Lin Nian and silently put the stone down.
"Who asked me how much this piece of gold is worth? Four thousand! I already said four thousand, hahaha!"
"You think I'm lucky? Absolutely! Haha!"
Zheng Ping watched as everyone burst into laughter again.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock. Who had just spoken?
"He's completely delirious, I think it's necessary to give him a good thrashing." Yin Xing picked up the stone again.
"Go ahead and hit me, he's making me a little creeped out."
Lin Nian stopped trying to stop him, and couldn't help but rub his arms. This was too scary! Who was he talking to?
"No, no, no, it's not that serious. Why are you acting like an idiot?" Huang Fei hugged Yin Xing and stopped him again.
After laughing enough, Zheng Ping stopped and looked at everyone, saying, "Why are you all looking at me? Didn't we just say we were going to cook noodles? Go ahead and cook them, I'm starving."
"You can hear me again?" Yin Xing rolled his eyes in annoyance and tore some vegetable leaves into the pot.
"I can hear you the whole time, what are you saying?" Zheng Ping looked at Yin Xing with a puzzled expression.
Yin Xing ignored him and opened the can, then placed it directly into the pot.
"This smells really good. Two packs of noodles should be enough for us. You're treating today, buddy."
Yin Xing looked loudly at Zheng Ping, as if afraid that he might mishear again.
"Fake? How could this be fake? Look how yellow it is! And I've checked it with the detector several times. It can't be fake. Even the weight matches, haha."
Zheng Ping held the gold nugget high in his hand, gazing at the setting sun with a blissful, dreamy smile.
“Here we go again…” Yin Xing tore the vegetable leaves apart forcefully and said through gritted teeth.
“I think it’s really necessary to give him a good beating, otherwise he’ll break down,” Huang Fei said, picking up the stone.
"Hey, hey, I was just kidding, I was just joking with you guys, why don't you understand?" Zheng Ping put away the gold nugget and chuckled.
"Ha, stones are still the most useful. Wouldn't it have been better if this had hit you earlier?" Huang Fei said, throwing the stone aside.
