Chapter 1511: Prosperity 2

Wang Cuilan asked what the good news was, and Cheng Baoguo smiled and said, "Didn't my second brother and his grandchildren come back last month? The other day, my second brother and Comrade Zhengguo took Xibao to pay homage to Master Shan. Guess what happened?"

"What's the matter? Stop talking nonsense and tell me quickly." Didn't I say it was a good thing?

Cheng Baoguo smiled, "Last year, the hill near Master Shan collapsed due to heavy rain. Xibao was tired and took a break with his second brother and Comrade Zhengguo. He used the small shovel he carried with him to shovel the motherwort beside him, saying that it can clear away heat and detoxify and can be used as medicine. It had just rained a little, and the ground was soft. The shovel went a little deeper into the soil and brought up a large piece of soil. Guess what happened?"

"If you have something to say, just say it. Don't make me guess!" Wang Cuilan was eager to know what happened, her voice full of complaints.

Cheng Baoguo stopped talking and said, "I heard from Comrade Zhengguo that the shovel hit something hard with a bang, making a sound similar to iron collision. At that time, we thought there might be scrap iron shells or something like that buried underneath that could be sold to a scrap yard, so we let Xibao dig, and he ended up digging out a tin box."

Wang Cuilan was stunned and asked, "What's in the box?"

As we all know, Xibao is lucky, so the things in the box must be extraordinary.

"What? Gold?"

Cheng Baoguo knew without a second thought that his wife must be extremely surprised. She smiled and said, "It is really gold, of excellent quality, and it is a gold ingot. My second brother said that it should have been minted by the government in the late Qing Dynasty. Comrade Zhengguo and my second brother discussed it and brought Xibao to me to hand it over to the country."

Compared to that gold nugget, a box of gold is much more valuable.

"Why didn't you give it to me?" Cheng Baoguo immediately sought benefits for his brother's family and held a meeting with the cadres of the municipal party committee, because a box of gold weighed 108 kilograms. According to the current bank's gold purchase price, not to mention more than 8 yuan, even if it was calculated at 8 yuan per gram, this amount of gold would be worth more than 400,000 yuan. As for its historical significance, it was worthless at this time and not worth mentioning.

"Won't you give me some reward?" Wang Cuilan asked this question because there was a precedent. In the early years, there were old farmers who found things like gold nuggets and handed them over to the country, and the country gave them rewards.

"A box of gold!" Cheng Baoguo replied.

"right."

Wang Cuilan opened her mouth wide immediately. A box of gold? What does that mean? Even a box of gold is worth a lot of money. After all, gold is small and heavy. One ounce of gold is only the size of a fingertip, and a ten-ounce yellow croaker is about the same size as an index finger.

Faced with such value, who could remain calm? The municipal party committee was excited at the time, and several veteran cadres almost couldn't breathe.

The gold was discovered by Xi Bao. Lu's father was her grandfather and Wang Zhengguo was her uncle. Neither of them wanted to take credit for it. So Cheng Baoguo asked Xi Bao on behalf of everyone if she wanted anything, and they would give her a certain reward on behalf of the country.

"Can you give our team a tractor?" This was Xi Bao's answer at the time.

Whether with his parents or with his grandparents, Xi Bao did not stay at home all the time. He often went out with the elders in the family to broaden his horizons. He saw the tractor in the People's Commune in the suburbs of Beijing. At that time, the tractor was carrying a lot of people and things, rumbling loudly, and it could be driven by one person without any effort.

Xi Bao then continued: "My father and mother said that agriculture will gradually develop into mechanization. I think that with a tractor, the burden on grandparents and uncles can be reduced. Tractors are the most convenient for farming and transportation!"
