"Old sister-in-law, are you at home?" Li Qianjin shouted to the yard as best he could.

"...Who...is it brothers Biaozi? Come in." An old woman's weak voice came from the room.

"Then I'll come in." Li Qianjin walked into the yard with staggering steps and came to the small bungalow inside. The house looked twenty or thirty years old. It was not a brick house, but a building with large stones, built with adobe on it. There was a layer of clay mixed with wheat straw and broken grains on it, and the pits were falling off.

Pushing open the door, an old woman in her seventies sat on the kang against the wall. She looked up and saw Li Qianjin, and said in a low tone: "Brother Biaozi is here, let's sit down."

"Old sister-in-law." Li Qianjin responded and walked to the only chair in the room to sit down.

"It's cold in the house, you can lean against the stove." A honeycomb coal stove was burning in the house, and an iron pot was sitting on it. The water in the pot was on it, and the steam floated out of the spout. A group of thick iron chimneys extended from the stove to the outside of the house. This was used to discharge coal soot and waste gas, and could barely serve as a heating pipe, but it was not very useful. The windows were pasted with wool paper, and there was not even a piece of glass, and the frame of the door was loose, leaving air leaking everywhere.

"It's okay, I wear a lot." Li Qianjin folded his hands together and leaned on his cane, without moving.

Both of them were silent and didn't say anything.

Finally, Li Qianjin broke the silence first.

"Old sister-in-law, what Da Kui is doing... I'm sorry Brother Cai."

"...Dakui took the wrong path himself, no wonder others." The old woman shook her head gently.

"I promised to live a life of Cai, and I looked at Da Kui and ignored it over the years."

"He chose the road himself, and no one could do anything about it... When Decai left, he said that Dakui was a child with a bad heart and a strong greed. The higher he went to the higher position, the more likely he would ruin him. I remember Decai told you before he died."

"... At that time, no one would have thought that he would change so much. Brother Decai left too much virtue. The team members unanimously asked Dakui to take over. They trust Brother Decai and believe that their father and son can live a good life with each other." Li Qianjin said regretfully.

"...From his first bag of white flour at home, I thought that he would become more and more deviant. I scolded him, beat him, and even lived in his new house, and guarded this old house alone, but it was useless. His heart grew bigger and bigger... The retribution that should be received, the Hongmei girl dared to take away the poverty subsidies, it was simply inhumane things. How could he be worthy of his father, the elders and villagers in Panshantun, and the shameless thing..." Hu Kuiniang cursed with regret.

Li Qianjin looked at Hu Kui Niang, whose eyes were red but cursed, and sighed, "Oh, my sister-in-law, Da Kui was also responsible for his own fault. It would be better to teach him a lesson. The conditions here are too poor. You are almost seventy years old. The weather is too cold in the winter, and the big windows and doors cannot be kept at all. I will find a few children to help you rest the house, at least install the window glass and change the door frame, so that you will suffer less punishment."

"No more trouble. Yingzi's son-in-law came to pick me up just now, but I didn't go either. After a while, two grandchildren came to pick me up. I went to live in that shameless home. Now, their family has no backbone. I'll help them keep an eye on it. This house is not available for the time being, so don't waste that money."

"...Okay, if you have something to do, you have to help me. Let Dasou Xiaodou send me a letter." Li Qianjin nodded and got up to leave. He really didn't know what to say, so he couldn't comfort him. The Dakui family must be in chaos now. With Dakui Niang, the "iron lady" of the past, there would definitely be no big deal. It's just a pity that Hu Decai has been famous for his lifetime and was defeated by his son in one go.

"Brother Biaozi... Da Kui this time?" Hu Kui Niang saw that Li Qianjin was about to leave, hurriedly sat up and asked, "Will you be shot?"

"No, now unlike in the past few years, there will generally be no death penalty for embezzlement. Sanshui said that if he voluntarily returns the stolen goods and has a good attitude of admitting guilt, he will be at most three to five years."

Hu Kui Niang breathed a sigh of relief. The death sentence was sentenced to death by embezzling public funds. There was a precedent in Ancheng. In the early 1970s, a deputy director of a supply and marketing cooperative was finally sentenced to death because he was reported by his neighbor because he was finally confirmed to embezzle more than 2,000 yuan of public funds. The clue of his neighbor's report was that "the deputy director's family often ate fried cakes."

Li Qianjin was walking home, feeling sad in his heart. Can greed really destroy people's hearts? In fact, some of Hu Kui's actions have been heard a little in recent years, but he just refused to believe them. He did not believe that the hard-working, hard-working and complacent young man who followed Brother Decai back then would become the greedy and ruthless cadre in people's mouths.

I hope that the children around me can keep their original intentions and always be pure people.

After returning home, Li Qianjin found paper and pen, lay on the table and started writing with his left hand.

...

It was noon when Li Kai and Chang Dalong arrived home. Li Yan had already prepared lunch and was holding it on the table. Liu Fengzhi had just been woken up and sat on the bed in a daze.

The snow shoveling project is very large. Although the "competition" enthusiasm of Li Kai and Song Zhihong has driven everyone, the overall cleaning has taken more than half an hour more than in previous years.

"Competition" did not produce any obvious victory or defeat, because the gap was really small.

After the cleaning, the students packed up their new textbooks and formed a group to buy "beautiful paper" of a bag of book covers, so they were delayed some time.

Lunch is still pork, vermicelli, cabbage, and Li Yan has no talent in cooking, but the key is diligence and hard work.

After dinner, before finishing packing the tableware, Li Kai dragged the whole family into the big house and inserted the door.

"What are you doing? It's mysterious." Liu Fengzhi asked in confusion.

Li Kai and Chang Dalong took out four boxes and a jar from under the bed and placed them on the coffee table.

"Now is the time to witness the miracle, thudding." Li Kai opened the boxes one by one with flaunt.

Seeing the dazzling array of treasures, Li Yan and his wife widened their eyes and looked incredible. It was a good idea to say that they couldn't understand anything else, but they just thought it was like a good thing, but they "guessed" what the box of "little yellow croaker" was at a glance. Because Liu Fengzhi once had a pure gold ring, which was accompanied by her mother when she got married. There was no wedding ring in that era, and there was no saying that the ring had to be bought by the man, and there was also a lot of messy meanings. Later, the ring was softly beaten by Mrs. Li and transferred it to her married sister-in-law. At the same time, Sanniang was also "killed". The sewing machine she had saved for many years was also robbed by Li Yao.

"Is this???" Liu Fengzhi pointed at the "little yellow croaker" and asked.

"Golden Bars." Li Kai nodded affirmatively.

"Golden Bars!!!" Liu Fengzhi's voice instantly increased by 80 decibels.

"Don't shout." Li Yan quickly covered his wife's mouth.

Liu Fengzhi blinked and nodded again. When Li Yan let go, he tiptoed to the door of the house and pulled the door in a little harder.

The door is not moving at all, the latch is very strong and safe.

Then he rushed back to the coffee table two steps, staring at the gold bars and looking hard.

Li Yan was relatively more sober and safe. He picked up a gold bar and looked at it on the front and back, then stumbled the weight again, then carefully put it back to its original position, looked up and asked Li Kai: "Where did it come from?"

"Dad, don't worry, it's definitely not a mess, it's legal and reasonable. Don't worry, I'll introduce you to what this is."

Li Yan and his wife could only calm down their emotions and began to listen to Li Kai's research report.

"These gold bars were cast and circulated during the Republic of China period and were commonly known as the 'little yellow croaker'. Each net weight was 31.25 grams. Here were fifty, with a total weight of 1,562.5 grams, which is more than three kilograms."

"Yeah." Li Yan and his wife looked at Li Kai.

"I don't know what is inside this scroll, it should be something like calligraphy and painting, and whose works in which era, I don't know. I'm afraid that there will be adverse reactions when opening it to see the light and the air, so I didn't open it. It was just discovered with these things, and it should not be an ordinary product."

"Uh-huh."

"In this box, there are diamonds in this cloth bag, this is jade bracelet, this is cloisonné bracelet..."

Li Kai took out everything and showed it to his parents. Li Yan and his wife just nodded constantly. After all, they had only heard of this kind of thing and had never seen it before. They had seen it in costume TV series, but they were the same as not seeing it.

"Okay, these are the things. Let me tell you the origin of these things."

Li Yan and his wife immediately sat upright and stared at Li Kai's "click" mouth.

"Dad, do you remember that there was an old man named Ding in our village?"

"Remember, didn't Old Man Ding die two years ago?" Li Yan nodded.

"Yes, I'm dead. I remember you told me that he was the chief servant of the 'Chen Dafu' family. He grew up in the Chen family since he was a child and was very loyal to the master family. After the 'Chen Dafu' died, he went crazy."

"Have I told you? He grew up in the Chen family." Li Yan couldn't remember it. Sometimes he would recall some history of the family or village with his son, but who would remember what he said and what he said.

"When he was alive, he ran around the village. Do you remember the verbal words?"

"I think about it... what auspiciousness... what awesomeness..." Li Yan tried hard to recall.

"There are good luck and prosperity in the upper beam."

"Yes, that's the sentence."

"This time Dalong and I went back to our hometown, and passed by the Chen family's old house. We were curious and went in and took a look. We found that the main house of the house collapsed..."

"Has the Chen family's old house collapsed?" Li Yan asked in surprise.

"Well, it collapsed, but the main beam of the main house collapsed on one side, and a big hole leaked on the roof." Li Kai paused for a moment and then said, "I suddenly remembered what Old Man Ding said, so I looked at the falling main beam carefully. After seeing it, I really found something wrong."

Next, Li Kai talked about the whole process of picking up the treasures they discovered and took out.

"This is what's inside, it's all here."

Li Yan looked at Li Kai, then Chang Dalong, and then Liu Fengzhi, and said in disbelief: "Old Man Ding's catchphrase is auspicious words that people say when building houses and beams in the village. In the past, Old Man Ding would join in the fun. He might even get a few cents of thanks for saying auspicious words. How could you think of what you said was something hidden in the beams?"

"We had already entered the yard and the beam was standing in front of us. I was just thinking about looking for it casually. Even if I misunderstood and there was nothing inside, we would not lose anything."

"Well, that's the case. But you're so...ah...right..." Li Yan didn't know what to say.

"Luck!" Liu Fengzhi said affirmatively, "Xiao Kai's luck, plus the blessing of the dragon, oh, you two are really our treasures."

Liu Fengzhi hugged the two guys in his arms and rubbed them in his head.

"Mom, mom, mom, calm, calm, there is still a treasure that I haven't said." Li Kai broke up his strength and broke free from his mom's claws.

"And this jar, I think it may be blue and white porcelain. My dad knows the origin of this thing."

Li Yan quickly told his wife about the origin of the jar.

"What is blue and white porcelain?" Liu Fengzhi turned to ask Li Kai.

Li Kai briefly explained his poor antique knowledge, but they didn't understand it anyway.

"You understand these things that you can see from books?" Li Yan was a little suspicious. He didn't have such books at home.

"Yes, it's here, look." Li Kai took out a shabby picture book from the blue and white jar.

In order to make the panic perfect, Li Kai worked hard. This book was found after reading the raw material library of the two households in the village. It recorded some descriptions and approximate value of cultural relics and antiques. Although it was published a little early, it was better than nothing.

Li Yan opened the page of the corner, looked roughly, and then said to Liu Fengzhi: "Wife, this broken can I picked up may be a real treasure."

The couple looked at books, jars, books, and jewelry, and then looked at each other. The expressions on their faces changed rapidly.

"Two leaders, let's stop watching it. This is our stuff. I have time to read it slowly in the future. Let's first think about where these things are placed?"

"ah?"

Yes, I originally thought it was nothing, so I just threw it under the bed. Now that I know the value, can I still feel at ease to throw it under the bed?
