Chapter 40 Gold Bars



What does it feel like for six people to whiz down the street on bicycles?

It’s probably like the luxury cars taking a stroll in groups in later generations.

Most people don't have such a grand ceremony when they get married.

"When we first went to the countryside together and walked on this loess road for the first time, who would have thought that we would be riding bicycles together in just over a month," Chen Zhihe laughed heartily and couldn't help but say despite the wind blowing the yellow sand into his mouth.

"Except for Qingqing who brought the bicycle ticket herself, we all have to thank Comrade Yun for his capable hands," Qian Lai said. She was quite embarrassed. Today, for her bicycle, Yun Guyuan had given up his lucrative bicycle business.

"I just do the job for money," said Yun Guyuan.

"You're right. We should thank you!" Chen Zhihe cheered.

Yun Guyuan: "..."

When Yun Guyuan didn't respond, Chen Zhihe lost interest in teasing him and went to talk to other people.

"Let's line up in a row, with six bicycles in a row, and ride into the village. We will definitely be the coolest presence in the village."

"Okay, keep a low profile and don't do useless things. Otherwise, you'll make others jealous and cause trouble," Zheng Xiaolong reminded his brother.

There is no work today and there are not many people in the fields outside the village. The villagers are either riding the commune's tractors to go to the market, or busy at home or in their private plots. The educated youth point is at the edge of the village and will not pass by the area where the villagers live.

But unfortunately, they stayed in the county town for a while longer and happened to catch the tractor coming back when the villagers were returning to the village with big and small bags.

"My God, why are there so many bicycles? Could it be that some leader has come down?" A villager said in confusion as he looked at them from afar.

"No way, my husband never mentioned any leadership inspection," Lin Guihua retorted.

"It's the educated youth!" said the village head's wife.

"Oh my God, two bicycles are the maximum. There must be six of them. What kind of families do these new educated youth come from? They bought bicycles just like that?"

Some villagers exclaimed.

Liu Chunxing and Wang Lingling next to them felt a little embarrassed, especially the former.

As newly arrived educated youth, the other six all rode bicycles, but the two of them could only squeeze on tractors with the villagers, and now they had to change legs to walk.

The old educated youth were also in a state of turmoil and had their own plans.

"Aunt, you are here too?" Yi Qingqing saw several members of her team and greeted them.

From now on, she no longer has to worry about being stared at when riding a bicycle, because there are five people to help her bear the pressure!

Several people on bicycles overtook the villagers who were returning to the village.

Even after they had walked so far away that there was no trace of them, the villagers were still discussing the wealth of the new educated youth.

Among them, Li Mengxue is recognized as the best, because not only does she not worry about earning work points, she also always looks like she can fill her stomach without relying on work points or food, and she looks very confident.

Yi Qingqing, on the other hand, temporarily ranked second because she worked too hard.

With someone supporting her in front, she, the second female lead, doesn't have to worry at all.

Just like everyone only remembers the name of the first place in the competition, not many people paid attention to Yi Qingqing, who was second, which really made Yi Qingqing feel relieved.

Her somewhat high-profile behavior before this time was finally no longer a target of criticism.

Yi Qingqing felt more relaxed and comfortable.

The background female supporting role doesn't need to attract hatred like the heroine does. She should just keep a low profile and watch the show.

After returning to the room, Yi Qingqing sat on the kang and read the big golden book, wanting to see what happened to the heroine Li Mengxue today that made her and the second male lead Zheng Xiaolong suddenly become much closer.

Before, it was Zheng Xiaolong who was courting the heroine. Although Li Mengxue saw his intention, she just pretended not to know and did not respond to him.

Suddenly, she became much more friendly to him today. Yi Qingqing saw the two of them talking and laughing several times, so something must have happened.

This is indeed the case.

Section 25

Today the heroine is still in disguise and goes to the black market to resell things to make money. She is not recognized, but her things are recognized.

The black market thugs who sent people to follow her last time are targeting her again, and they are smart enough to send a few more good guys.

After the heroine finished shopping, she realized someone was following her and started running away frantically, trying to find an empty place to enter the supermarket.

However, she had not found an opportunity because the other party was chasing and blocking her. If someone around went in, the secrets of the supermarket space would be revealed and it might be even more dangerous.

Zheng Xiaolong, who was also looking for opportunities to make money in the black market, actually recognized the heroine by the mole on her ear.

Chen Zhihe helped to divert the crowd, and Zheng Xiaolong stepped forward to rescue the heroine.

"How did you recognize me when I was dressed like this?"

"I remember your height, your figure, the shape of your hands, and the cute little mole on your earlobe. Your appearance has long been deeply engraved in my heart, Mengxue, you know what I mean, right?"

"Um."

This was their conversation at the time.

It feels like this direction has nothing to do with what's in the original book, it's exactly the same.

The heroine fell in love with the second male lead because of his care for her. He was able to recognize her in such a situation and was very courageous in helping her solve the problem.

My liking for him was growing rapidly.

In addition, this time the heroine did buy a few pottery jars at the scrap yard.

The golden book said, "Li Mengxue saw that these pottery jars seemed to be quite old and might be antiques, so she picked them up for a closer look. She found something different when she weighed them. She did not check them directly, but quietly picked up a few more small jars and bought them together."

At this moment, words were still appearing on the book, and it was writing that after the heroine returned to the house, she couldn't wait to study the jar.

It took her a while to realize that the space inside the jar seemed to be smaller than it looked from the outside. She took a thin stick and measured the inside and outside of the jar, and it was indeed much shallower inside.

She slowly opened the bottom of the pottery jar that was sealed with yellow mud.

Inside are 5 small gold bars.

"Gold bars!" Yi Qingqing sighed.

The heroine's luck is indeed amazing, but she can be quite miserable sometimes. Although she is the one who laughs last every time and can always turn danger into safety, it is still quite challenging to encounter thrilling things.

Because after the heroine discovered the gold bars, scenes other than the heroine appeared.

The person who hid the gold bars at the scrap yard went looking for the pottery jar, but couldn't find it. After asking the old man, he learned that a female educated youth bought a lot of pottery jars that afternoon.
