Chapter 1514: Prosperity 5

At that time, most of the people had no selfish motives. They were not surprised that Xi Bao handed over the gold to the country under the leadership of Lu's father and Wang Zhengguo. They were just extremely envious and wished they were the ones to make the contribution.

Of course, there are also some selfish people who want to dig up gold and hide it. Who doesn’t know that gold is valuable?

Facing everyone's gazes, Wang Zhengguo said sternly, "The city officials have already arranged people to check. We thought we would find cultural relics or something like that where the gold was found, but in the end we found nothing. Don't bother looking. In my opinion, this box of gold might have been buried underground by a rich man during the turbulent times and he didn't have time to take it away."

Upon learning that the country had sent people to investigate and had said there was nothing there, everyone immediately stopped dreaming of getting rich.

However, for a while, the aftermath was difficult to end.

The busy farming season has ended recently and students have returned to class. Xi Bao also went to school because his grandfathers had work to do. On the way home from school, an auntie from one family stuffed a boiled egg into his pocket, an auntie from another family gave him a handful of homemade roasted melon seeds, and even a few educated youth gave him some of the food sent by their families and did not allow him to refuse. When he returned home, his schoolbag was bulging with all kinds of food.

Zhou Fengchu laughed out loud, "Xibao is everyone's favorite now!"

"What? Don't want to go to school again? That won't do."

Before Zhou Fengchu could finish his sentence, he saw Wang Zhengguo and a man delivering telegrams and documents walk in with a big smile on their faces. "Comrade Ding Guofeng, congratulations! You can return to the capital and resume your work!"

"Really?" Ding Guofeng jumped up from the bench in an instant. He was agile and didn't look like an old man at all.

Wang Zhengguo laughed and said, "The documents have been sent over, how can this be fake?"

Following Xia Shuhuai, Chen Anlin and the Zhu Ling couple, Ding Guofeng is the fifth person from outside the province who was sent here to resume work.

"Grandpa, can I not go to school tomorrow? I feel like my handwriting has regressed." Xi Bao asked as she distributed the food in her bag to her three grandfathers, including Lu's father, and also gave Ding Hailan an egg.

After hearing what Zhou Fengchu said, Xi Bao said, "Grandpa Zhou, I know everything the teacher taught. I don't want to waste time in school. I have many ambitions, and these ambitions are not in the classroom!"

"He's just a little kid, only eleven years old, but he already has ambitions!"

"It's true!" Ding Guofeng's hands immediately trembled as he took the document, tears streaming down his face. "The country hasn't forgotten me, the country hasn't forgotten me. I can go back to the capital, I can go back to the capital. Hailan, we can go home now."

Ding Hailan blinked her eyes, and it took her a while to understand what her grandfather meant. "Go home, go home!"

Father Lu and Zhou Fengchu congratulated him repeatedly, and Ding Guofeng was a little incoherent. "Congratulations, congratulations. Old Zhou, I'm leaving now. You take good care of yourself. I believe you will leave here soon."

Zhou Fengchu touched Xi Bao's head and said, "I feel a little reluctant to let you go so suddenly."

Because he had not suffered any hardship after being sent here, but lived a happy life under the care of the Lu family, Ding Guofeng was a little reluctant to leave. He was reluctant to leave Xibao, the old people who had shared hardships with him, and the folks of Wanglou Brigade. But no matter how reluctant he was, he had to return to the capital and return to his dream job to continue serving the people.
