"Ah! What is that? It's so bright in my eyes!" Yu Qingqing exclaimed and subconsciously covered her eyes with her left hand. The hoe in her right hand accidentally fell to the ground.
Yu Qinghai heard the noise and ran over quickly. The light from his side was not as strong, so he could see clearly what was happening inside the soil.
After seeing it, Yu Qinghai was so shocked that he was speechless, with his mouth wide open.
Yu Qingqing rubbed her eyes and turned in another direction. As a result, she saw many white silver ingots lying quietly in the soil.
Soon, Hua Yuanyuan and Yu Qingmei, who were diligently digging sweet potatoes nearby, also ran over out of curiosity. When they saw what was in the soil, Yu Qingqing covered their mouths in time, preventing them from screaming out in surprise.
Fortunately, this place is some distance away from Village Chief Liu and the others, so at least their situation here will not be discovered in the short term.
Yu Qinghai stared blankly at the thing in the soil, tiptoed to pick up a silver ingot, wiped it clean with his sleeve, and put it directly into his mouth and took a bite.
Only then did he confirm that the silver was real. Yu Qinghai was so excited that he couldn't speak. He could only nod his head foolishly, and the smile on his face would not fade away.
After Yu Qingqing calmed down, she gathered the others together and said in a voice barely audible enough to be heard by a mosquito, "Listen to me, don't say anything. Since we discovered this, there's no need for us to tell anyone else."
Otherwise, if so many people knew about this, they would start digging everywhere, which would definitely cause chaos. So, we should just dig up the things here quietly, just like digging sweet potatoes.
But we won't take it out, let's just put it in the pit. You guys can cover me later while I put the things away. Remember, no matter what you see later, don't exaggerate. "
Yu Qingqing's words were like a reassurance to everyone, making them feel much more at ease.
We were so excited just now that we almost forgot Yu Qingqing's uniqueness.
They can transfer these things out quietly!
Several people nodded seriously, suppressing their inner excitement, and their facial expressions quickly returned to calm.
Yu Qinghai also said firmly: "Third sister, don't worry! We will definitely keep this matter a secret. No one else will know except Dad and Mom."
That’s right, for things like this, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Hua Yuanyuan and Yu Qingmei also expressed their attitudes and would never let anyone else know about this matter.
Yu Qinghai continued to dig the soil, and soon a black box appeared in the soil.
There seemed to be more than twenty scattered silver ingots, and Yu Qingqing threw them all into the space in time.
Yu Qinghai and several others continued to dig up the nearby soil, and the more they dug inside, the more boxes they found.
He dug a box and Yu Qingqing quickly went into the income space.
After digging for about an hour, he finally finished. Fortunately, Hua Yuanyuan and Yu Qingmei covered the soil behind him while he was digging, so in the end, only a one-meter-wide hole was left, which was not too eye-catching.
Yu Qinghai dug out the last box, and Yu Qingqing quickly helped to fill the hole.
After finishing, everyone was tired and out of breath. A few of them sat on the ground and looked at the location of the pit. They found that it was not in the same direction as the sweet potato field. There were fewer sweet potatoes here, not too many.
Village chief Liu didn't pay much attention to them. When he saw them resting, he thought they were just tired from digging sweet potatoes.
Village chief Liu has already dug a lot of sweet potatoes. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and everyone's face is filled with the joy of a good harvest.
After a brief rest, Yu Qingqing glanced into the space and said, "This is too much, my God!"
Yu Qingqing muttered softly, and the people next to her naturally heard it.
After they had rested, they began to head towards the sweet potato field again, and naturally did not mention anything about what had just happened.
Yu Qinghai was responsible for cutting off the sweet potato vines first, and then with a swing of the hoe, several sweet potatoes hanging on one vine were unearthed.
During the digging process, many sweet potatoes were accidentally damaged, but everyone was reluctant to throw away any of them. Basically, those that were too small were picked up and taken home.
Since digging the sweet potatoes, Yu Qingqing has eaten roasted sweet potatoes, boiled sweet potatoes, steamed sweet potatoes, and sweet potato and taro ball tea made with sweet potatoes and tea leaves, which makes her feel like she is back to the past.
As everyone was busy, the sun began to set. Looking at the afterglow of the sun at the horizon and the foot of the mountain, Yu Qingqing felt that most of the fatigue of the day had disappeared.
Village chief Liu and his colleagues are also preparing to finish work and go home. The sweet potatoes they dug this time have to be divided when they get home, which will take a lot of time.
No one had free hands, so everyone carried sweet potatoes on their backs or in their arms and went back happily.
Village chief Liu ran to Yu Qinghai and helped him carry the sweet potatoes. Since they started digging the sweet potatoes, the smile on Village chief Liu's face has never faded.
He no longer had the prejudice he had against his family and believed that the Yu family really cared about the village.
He has been the village chief for so many years, and only the arrival of the Yu family has brought various benefits to the village. It is also because of the arrival of the Yu family that the lives of the people in the village are getting better and better.
At the very least, the number of people starving to death is gradually decreasing, and it can even be said that no one is starving to death anymore.
Yu Qinghai wiped his muddy hands and continued to walk forward carrying a basket of sweet potatoes. As he walked, he said, "Village Chief Liu, you must have dug up a lot of sweet potatoes today! When you take these sweet potatoes back, be sure to put them in a dry place.
Then you tell them that the damaged sweet potatoes can be fed to chickens and ducks, or eaten by themselves. It would be best to save some for next year's seeds. Wouldn't it be more convenient if we could grow our own sweet potatoes in the future?"
Village Chief Liu smiled after hearing this. "Thank you for your reminder, Yu family boy. I'll tell them how to store them. Everyone worked very hard today, so they dug up quite a lot. It's thanks to you that you discovered these sweet potatoes and told us about them. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to get such a good deal."
Yu Qinghai smiled modestly. They naturally knew how to be grateful to those in the village who were truly kind to their family.
Everyone chatted and laughed along the way as they headed home.
As soon as they approached the outside of the Yu family's new house, they heard noisy sounds from afar.
