There are some things that you definitely can’t figure out the truth just by relying on your imagination.

Besides, even if Yuan Niniang is not the biological child of grandma and grandpa, what does it have to do with them?

The Chen family is just an ordinary farmer, with neither huge wealth nor inheritance to the throne.

The fourth aunt stood up and looked around, "Ni, I just pretend I didn't hear about this."

"I just came to see if the chickens were laying eggs, but I didn't hear anything."

The two of them had a tacit understanding and didn't mention what happened just now. They shut up and went back to the house to sleep.

Some time ago, it was my mother who went out with Yuanni to collect rags.

Now that her shoulder was healed, grandma tentatively asked, "Guiying, can you work in the fields now?"

Uncle Chen has already transferred Yuan Niniang's and several other household registrations to the Red Flag Brigade.

From now on, Yuan Niniang will have to earn work points and receive food in the Red Flag Brigade.

She just came back a while ago, everyone knew she was injured, and no one said anything even if she didn't participate in labor.

Now that Yuan Niniang is healed from her injury, it will be unjustifiable if she doesn't go to the ground again.

Yuan Niniang hesitated for a moment. After all, collecting rags was not a serious business, but it was a very profitable job, so she was a little reluctant to give it up.

"Mom, you go to the fields. I still have goods in hand. I will change them myself first and then talk about it after I finish the replacement." Yuan Ni was thinking about how to distract her mother so that she could cut the gold plate. God gave it to her. This is a good opportunity for her.

Grandma and grandpa discussed it for a while and finally decided to let Yuan Niniang go to work in the fields.

Yuanni is not yet 16 years old. Some girls of this age do not go to the ground. Generally, no one gossips.

After all, every household has something to do, and it is only human nature to leave a daughter to take care of them.

Just like that, my mother picked up the hoe and went out to work with the others. Zhaodi and Pandi were at home with their grandma.

There are a lot of things at home. Feeding Dahua and his family is not a big deal. The most troublesome thing is preparing meals for everyone.

The Chen family’s daughters-in-law take turns cooking, but the raw materials are all prepared by grandma.

Seeing her grandma enter the kitchen, Yuanni called Zhaodi over and asked her to stand guard at the door.

"When you see someone coming, just say hello."

Zhaodi nodded to show that she understood.

Yuanni locked the door, moved the suitcase away, then took out the clippers and started cutting the gold plate.

Cutting the gold plate was a laborious task. Yuan Ni used all her strength to cut off a piece as big as the palm of her hand.

The cross section of the gold plate was not covered, revealing a clear yellow light.

Yuan Ni was already prepared. She took out the glue she had prepared long ago, mixed it with sand, and applied a layer of glue to the section.

Then place the notched side against the wall.

After everything was restored, Yuan Ni took out a small scale and weighed the cut gold plate.

There is mud and sand on the outside of the gold plate. The impurities can only be removed after being dissolved in a crucible. Now it is time to grasp the approximate weight and be aware of it.

The gold was very heavy, and the piece she cut out was only half the size of a palm, but it was actually more than eight taels.

Even if the impurities are removed, there will still be at least six taels left, which is [-] grams.

Thirty rings can be made.

Yuanni made a good calculation and didn't dare to delay any more. She wrapped the gold nuggets and pushed the car out the door.

Grandma saw it and kept warning, "You must be careful when you go out alone."

Yuanni agreed.

In the evening, I found an opportunity to give the gold nuggets to my fourth aunt, and agreed to pay labor fees when delivering the goods.

Before going to bed, Yuan Ni checked the wardrobe again. It was very good. All the marks she left were there, indicating that no one had touched the suitcase.

The gold ring is already being made, and the next step is to sell it.

It's best not to sell this thing locally, but as a village girl, what kind of excuse should she find to go to other places?

Just as Yuanni was thinking about it, she heard from her uncle that a furniture factory had been set up in the county town and they were looking to recruit people.

My grandfather was very good at carpentry, and my uncle was also good at it. As for the other children, none of them learned this craft.

"They want a skilled carpenter. My father is over the age limit. I'm 37, so I'm not over the age limit. However, I can't make up my mind. Should I go?" The eldest uncle looked at my grandma and grandpa with a confused look on his face.

Regarding matters concerning the Chen family, grandma has the final say. "Should I be a regular worker or a contract worker?"

"It's a regular job."

"Go ahead, once you pass, you will have an iron rice bowl." Grandma immediately agreed.

"Then go? But there are only dormitories in the county, and Yuhuan and the two boys can't go..."

"You want a job, but also a wife and children? All the love and good things have gone to your house? You listen to me, take up the work first, and then talk about anything else.

Isn’t it that old Li’s house in the west end of the village is sinking?Now that Lao Li has found a job for his wife, and the whole family has moved to the city, who in the village is not envious? "

Yuan Ni believes that her grandma is right. The opportunity to convert from rural to non-agriculture is very precious. If you can have formal employment benefits, you must go all out to fight for it.

After listening to my grandma's words, my uncle secretly took something and went to the captain after dark, saying that he wanted to sign up.

The captain didn't feel embarrassed at all, and directly gave the opportunity to recruit workers to his uncle, "They want a carpenter, and you two are the only carpenters in our team. If you don't go, who will?"

Just like that, uncle is coming to town.

The night before he went to the city, his grandma held an emergency family meeting and appointed two people to go to the city with his uncle.

"Nier is smart and can read. If you go with the student worker, you can help read the notices and other things. Student worker, you can go too. Your brother has just gone and there is no place to put his luggage. You have to watch. .”

Yuanni agreed immediately. Just now, her fourth aunt secretly gave her a package of gold rings, 32 in total. She happened to take this batch of goods into the city to find sales.

My grandfather has been to the county town before, and now his eldest son is going again. He has mixed feelings and begins to recall everything he had in the county town.

The family members were tired of hearing these words, and when they saw grandpa starting to talk again, they tacitly ran away.

Early the next morning, the team leader opened a letter of introduction to Yuan Ni and others, "You have to take this thing. If you can't come back that day, you have to live in the guest house based on the letter."

The uncle nodded calmly, indicating that he knew the importance of this thing.

Grandma has already prepared dry food, which is cornmeal buns that are browned on both sides.

The second uncle was carrying the luggage.

Yuanni was carrying a big basket. Under the basket was her uncle's change of clothes, which contained many eggs.

In this way, under the eager eyes of everyone in the Chen family, Yuan Ni and the other three got on the bus to the county seat.

The shuttle bus is very old, and the seats are made of wood, which is a bit painful to sit on.

That's it, there's almost no seats left.

The eldest uncle and the second uncle were tall and tall, so they were arranged by the conductor to sit in the last row.

"Girl, you can sit here." The conductor pointed to the chassis cover next to the driver.

Now there is no concept of overloading. You can sit wherever you can.

When Hongqi Commune enters the county town, the toll alone costs one yuan.

"It costs six yuan for three people to go back and forth. If we can't find work, the six yuan will be wasted." The uncle looked reluctant.

"What if I get it? I heard that for a job in the county, you can earn at least thirty or forty a month, which is not a loss at all. If I had known better, I would have stopped being lazy when I was a child and learned the craft from my father."

The eldest uncle and the second uncle had a lively chat, and bursts of laughter broke out from time to time.

The salesperson glanced disdainfully and muttered, "Another country bumpkin comes to town..."

Yuan Ni's attention was not on them at all. As soon as she sat down on the computer case, her left hand began to feel hot. Yuan Ni knew that she had encountered something again...
