Chapter 67 Digging Out Something
The lunch that day was quite sumptuous, with noodles in pig heart soup, boiled pig liver served cold, pig intestines stir-fried with sauerkraut, and winter melon stir-fried with dried shrimps.
The three children ate a small bowl of canned yellow peaches before dinner, but the food was so delicious that Da Mao and Xiao Mao each had a bowl of noodles and ate a lot of vegetables.
The whole family enjoyed the meal very much. Because the portions were large, there was some pig intestines and liver left over from lunch to eat in the evening.
Su He wanted to save two pounds of meat for making meat sauce, so he asked everyone for their opinions on how to eat the remaining three pounds of meat.
Damao wants to eat dumplings, Xiaomao wants to eat buns, and Xiaobao joins in the fun, talking about dumplings one moment and buns the next, the noise is so annoying that it makes people's brains hurt!
Teacher Wu: "Okay, then let's make half dumplings and half buns. That should be fine."
Jin Weiguo: "There are five pounds of meat. How about leaving two pounds for the braised pork? Who among you three doesn't want to eat it?"
Da Mao Mao voted again and wanted to eat braised pork! Now they finally agreed that five pounds of meat would be braised pork and dumplings. In short, the whole family was satisfied.
After dinner, the three children finally went back to their rooms for a nap, and Teacher Wu also went to rest with them.
Jin Weiguo cleaned up the dishes and quietly signaled Su He to go to the chicken coop with him.
Jin Weiguo had already demolished the roof of the chicken coop, leaving only the low walls on both sides.
The bottom of the chicken coop, where the chicken manure is collected, is covered in mud, but there are also faint traces of bricks. This is a bit interesting. Is it necessary to have bricks to collect chicken manure underground?
Jin Weiguo complained in his heart at the time, thinking that there were enough bricks now, so he picked up the bricks on the ground.
When he got to the side, he saw a bag of oilcloth under the bricks, so he stopped digging.
At this moment, Su He came over and saw the oilcloth. He held the man's arm to stop him from digging. "This... we don't even know what it is... is it dangerous?"
Jin Weiguo looked at her with amusement. "This residential area used to be a wasteland, and it hasn't experienced war. When this base was built, this entire area was dug up at least three times! So, this thing must have been put in after people started living there! Do you think it's dangerous?"
Su He loosened his grip and watched the man carefully as he continued to lift the bricks.
All the bricks were removed and the oilcloth bag was completely exposed!
The two men looked at each other and saw the "caution" in each other's eyes. Jin Weiguo returned to the study, found a pair of deerskin gloves and put them on, then he dug up the soil and took out the entire oilcloth bag.
The oilcloth bag was not big. After opening it, there was a wooden box inside. The wood was just ordinary wood. When the box was opened, the things hidden inside were not unusual. They looked like two black bracelets.
Su He: "Why is this bracelet still tied with a black string?"
Jin Weiguo: "Don't worry, I think there's something else inside."
Su He: "Let's go to the study and talk. There are no dangerous items in the yard. It feels like I've done something bad and someone is watching me."
The man looked up at the locked door, took the box and returned to the study with Su He.
He was very cautious and knew that there were no poisonous or harmful items in the box. However, the man still took out a piece of felt cloth, put it on the ground, and placed the wooden box on the felt cloth.
Su He was speechless. This man was really too thoughtful.
Jin Weiguo found a few small tools and carefully found a rope end on the bracelet, and removed all the black ropes wrapped around the bracelet.
After he untied the rope, two gold bracelets were revealed. The color had turned black, and the surface of the bracelets was inlaid with red gemstones. The style was very beautiful.
