"Huh? That's so strange."
Zhao Qinghuai also found it unbelievable. Shuanzi tripped and fell, and in a fit of anger, he threw the stone that tripped him. Zhao Qinghuai only realized it wasn't a stone when he heard the sound of the stone being thrown.
Afterwards, Zhao Qinghuai found several pieces of gold sticking out at Shuanzi's feet.
He sensed something was wrong. Just then, the patrol came by, and Zhao Qinghuai had the child taken away and the other patrol teams go back to get shovels to dig up the area.
Who would have thought that ten chests of gold were buried underground in the place they patrolled every day? What's even more incredible is that one of the chests of gold was pushed up by tree roots and had long since rotted from the wind and sun, with a thick layer of dirt covering it.
If Shuanzi hadn't fallen, we wouldn't have noticed.
Zhao Qinghuai certainly wouldn't dare to keep so much gold for himself; he was a man of impeccable character and wouldn't do such a thing. Besides, the patrols came here frequently, so whatever he did couldn't be kept secret. It was better to just hand it over.
Although not many people know about this, the credit is still undeniable.
Although gold and silver did not circulate among ordinary people in this era, gold was still a hard currency internationally.
Zhao Qinghuai didn't care how the gold would be used; what he cared about more was whether it would actually work for Er Ya's wish!
Zhao Qinghuai was unaware that after he handed over the gold, any talk of gold to Er Ya would be completely useless. He also didn't know that from then on, if there were any treasures, Er Ya would go to her aunt Lin Ying instead of him. Although Er Ya herself didn't know why, she had already labeled her uncle as a spendthrift.
Perhaps it was the butterfly effect of gold, but Zhao Qinghuai, who had originally said he could rest for a few more days, left ahead of schedule.
Before leaving, Lin Ying checked Zhao Qinghuai's package again to make sure there were no problems before she felt a little relieved.
Not long after Zhao Qinghuai left, the snow, which had been reluctant to fall, began to fall. The weather was finally getting colder and colder. Since the older children were all resting, the younger children liked to follow them around and play. Shuanzi was no exception.
He followed Xiaoqiang and the other older kids around every day, having a great time playing with them.
Lin Ying doesn't feel bored at home with Er Ya around.
It wasn't until the residential compound notified us that the town's primary school had reopened. Children of school age were to attend. Registration was tomorrow at the compound office. Transportation would be arranged based on the number of children and feedback from logistics.
After all, they were children from a compound, and even if their families were poor, they wouldn't lack tuition fees. Because even if the children were unwilling, they had no choice but to carry their little schoolbags and go to school with a heavy heart.
The new commander of the Third Regiment has not yet taken office, so Wang Shan has no choice but to take on the burden himself.
Li Yue'e needed to take Xiaoqiang to school, so she sent Xiaoshuai to Lin Ying's place. Not only Li Yue'e, but several other children who couldn't care for themselves also sent their children there. They probably knew the "King of Kids" was at Lin Ying's house.
Watching the little ones sitting there, even imitating The Thinker by sighing, Lin Ying couldn't help but laugh.
"Is things really that bad here, Auntie? Everyone looks so miserable."
The little boy, acting like a little adult, said, "Auntie, you don't understand. My brother said he would take us skiing and building snowmen a while ago, but it's only been snowing for a few days and my brother and his friends have already gone to school."
Lin Ying thought it was something serious: "It's just skiing, what's the big deal? Just wait!"
Lin Ying found some wood, and a child made a snow sled for it. Actually, it was shaped like an oval basket, except it had a base for skiing.
The handles on top are for children to hold onto while skiing so they don't fall.
This thing is very simple to make; you just need to cut out the pieces of wood you need and assemble them.
Lin Ying finished it in half a day.
The sleds are tied to the front with ropes, so they can be pulled by people or children can pull their own sleds uphill.
So, Lin Ying took the children out, pulling Er Ya tightly in her trolley. She took a shovel and went to the large slope leading up the hill behind her house. She used the shovel to build stairs. Then she turned the thick snow into slides.
To ensure the children's safety and prevent collisions, she divided each slide with snow. After the slides were completed, she brought over two buckets of water and watered the three completed slides.
Seeing that one staircase might not be enough, Lin Ying also finished another one.
A landslide was also built outside the stairs. This way, after the children slide down, they can use the landslide to pull the sleds up the mountain.
