Chapter 46 He Strives to Own the Moon
If she could get out of this cowshed, the old lady would have said these words to Xu Ningjun long ago. Why does such a good girl have to be obsessed with a country kid?
"I understand, Grandma."
Late at night, Cheng Chuan dug something out of the soil.
There are a lot of gold and silver jewelry inside, as well as large pieces of gold and jade bracelets.
He was genuinely surprised, knowing that his family had once been landlords, he had no idea they were once so wealthy.
Grandma said that if she pawned so much money, it would inevitably attract attention.
He didn't dare to go out, so he simply stayed in the woods for the night.
He would go to the county town at dawn in the morning and pawn a few pieces of gold at the market.
He had three gold bricks and a gold ingot. He temporarily pawned one gold brick and one gold ingot in exchange for two hundred and ten yuan.
Cheng Chuan counted the money and put it away.
He asked and learned that building a simple house would cost only 400 yuan, and a slightly better one would cost 100 yuan.
Grandma said that marrying her would require three golds, a betrothal gift, and a banquet.
The money he has now is far from enough.
The old box in my hand no longer had the same color as it once did. It was buried in the soil, and the patterns on it were blurred.
I don’t know how long grandma kept these things buried.
Cheng Chuan stared at the shiny bracelet inside for a long time, wanting to give it to her.
When he went to the county for the first time as a child, he passed by a state-owned restaurant.
There was a TV in the hotel, and on TV was playing a letter from a man to a woman with a hairpin inside.
He saw the woman's joy when she opened the letter, smiling shyly and reading it.
Being teased by the people around her, the woman ran into the room with a red face.
He also wanted to give her a gift.
His mind was filled with her smiling face, and his heart was heavy. Cheng Chuan touched his chest and couldn't help but curl his lips.
It was getting late, and if he didn't go to school now, he would definitely be suspected.
Cheng Chuan hurriedly put the things in his arms. He had somewhere else to go before leaving.
"Brother Chuan, are you serious?"
The man nodded. Xiaohu wiped his hands and the two walked deeper into the alley. "Well, then I'll go talk to the master. Brother Chuan, why did you suddenly agree to help us kill the pig?"
Xiaohu was really curious, but Brother Chuan said he didn't want to do anything at that time.
He thought about it and decided that there was really no need for Brother Chuan to get involved in this mess.
Those who engage in speculation and profiteering will go to jail. The master knows the profiteer and they are brothers.
Needless to say, his relationship with his master is like that of a biological father, with complete trust.
But it's normal that Brother Chuan doesn't get along with them, doesn't trust them, and doesn't want to be with them.
Cheng Chuan didn't explain, but simply said, "When are you going?"
"We started buying pigs from villagers who raise pigs at four o'clock every morning. Now we have a pig farm on the mountain. I'll take you there tonight."
"They slaughter two or three pigs a day. I'm only responsible for butchering them and cutting the pork into different parts. The dealer has a car and can take it to the black market."
Xiaohu lowered his voice and said, "They have been doing this for almost half a month."
It is unrealistic to buy pigs from villagers every day, and it is easy to be discovered, so the master simply set up a small pig farm on the mountain.
The piglets are raised and raised, so there will be a constant supply of pork.
Since we have already done this, we are not afraid of making it bigger.
"Brother Chuan, it would be great if you could help us. Let's do as we said before and split the profits. But I'm afraid you'll have to pay some money, as we need to buy pig feed."
Xiaohu knew that Cheng Chuan had no money and was a little embarrassed. He was about to say that he would make up for it later.
Cheng Chuan took out ten big unity notes and handed them over. "Is that enough?"
"Where did you come from...? That's enough, Brother Chuan, please be careful. I'll come find you in the evening."
Xiaohu didn't continue. Some things should be asked, and some things shouldn't be asked.
There must be a reason why Brother Chuan suddenly agreed to help.
If you don’t want to say it, forget it.
Cheng Chuan nodded and hurried off.
After getting off the ox cart, he walked quickly and arrived just in time, without any delay.
Sweat dripped onto the ground, tight muscles bulged, everyone in the fields buried their heads, and the endless sky was as blue as usual.
As he swung his scythe, he looked up, gazing in her direction.
After a moment of daze, she was the destination he would always run towards passionately.
I want to marry her, I want to try, I want to work hard, I want to dream of the clouds in the sky.
At home over there, Xu Ningjun had just gotten up and was drinking a cup of hot water while yawning.
I walked out, stretched myself, and breathed in the fresh morning air.
She was so idle that the educated youth who were busy as dogs were all jealous and itchy.
They are all educated youth, so why is Xu Ningjun's life better than theirs?
