Chapter 1487 Meeting Decision

Cao Lao Er didn't care. "Dad, why do you have to be so cautious? Isn't it said that society has changed now?"

"Even if people's hearts change, they won't change."

Now the three brothers and sisters were silent. It was a big brick and tile house. They would be satisfied if they could live in it in their lifetime.

The women were speechless, but they were also yearning for what the men said. To be honest, everyone's life in the village was similar. However, after being married for so many years, they felt that their lives were much better than those of other families.

"Dad, shall we go down the mountain tomorrow?"

"You are so wild now, girl. The New Year is coming soon. Why don't you stay at home quietly?"

"Mom, it's fine down there, we celebrate the Little New Year every year.

I just feel that we should hurry up. If everything is done well, we will feel happy during the Chinese New Year, right? "

Mother Cao rolled her eyes at her daughter.

Gangzi shouted from outside, "Uncle Wu, everyone has gone to the ancestral hall."

It was almost an hour early and everyone was getting ready.

A few old people were sitting in the ancestral hall smoking, and there was a lot of noise below. To be honest, if it wasn't such a big event for the whole village, some people would really be unwilling to come out.

Cao Qingping stood on the platform and said, "Everyone be quiet. Let me first talk about the place the government has arranged for us this time.

It is not close to the county town, but not too far either. It is adjacent to Anping Village in the east and not far from the farm in the west.

There is a large meadow behind us. There is a road in front of us, but it is also a large wasteland.

I calculated that after we build the houses, each of us can get more than ten acres of land, and even more. We can open up the wasteland as we please."

As soon as Cao Qingping finished speaking, the atmosphere below started to boil.

"So much land? That's great. We can grow whatever crops we want. We can also build a more spacious house."

"Isn't it? Each person has more than ten acres of land. There are eight people in our family, so that means more than eighty acres of land. We can't handle it, right?"

Everyone was talking at once, and Cao Qingping was watching them from above.

I knew it would be like this. People eat all kinds of grains. It's normal to have so many thoughts.

"Chief, will we be able to get a household registration after we go down the mountain?"

"Of course there are. I heard from the county chief that even if we don't leave the mountain, we will still have to register as a hukou in the future. This shows that there are people like us here."

"Isn't it a good citizen certificate or something?"

"Hu Zi, you're already three generations old, and you still need a good citizen certificate? What are you thinking?"

"It's the same as the people down the mountain. Each family will have a household registration book. The head of the household and family members will be registered. No one needs to think too much. I heard from the staff member that there are too many enemy spies and the number of people must be counted truthfully. If you don't have a household registration, you may be arrested as an enemy spy in the future."

The discussion became louder. "Chief, will he be arrested again?"

"If you register your household registration, you won't be arrested. We are all honest people, and we are not enemy spies. They won't arrest us."

Now everyone felt more at ease, and they hadn't done anything to harm the world. Of course they were scared when they heard they would be caught. "Chief, how much did you get for the things you brought? Is it because they had never seen such good things before and were almost robbed?"

After hearing what Er Shitou said, Cao Qingping curled his lips.

"You're dreaming. I told him how much the jewelry and calligraphy and paintings I brought with me were worth, and he even gave me a written receipt. The seven of us heard and saw it."

Cao Qingping started from the first pawnshop and talked about the matter that was pinned on the old Taoist priest in the end. Everyone was dumbfounded.

Shopkeeper Meng circulated the receipt among his subordinates.

Seeing them all wilting, this was expected. They were all descendants of mountain bandits. The elders finally decided to live in seclusion in the mountains, and all the things were made public. Although the younger generations didn't really see them, they all knew what good things the clan had passed down from generation to generation. They also knew how many there were.

Those who were quick-witted had already figured out how much money they could get by selling it to the pawnshop, and how much they could get by selling it to the kind-hearted Taoist priest. This one item only added three dollars and twenty cents, which was really not a small amount.

"No one wants such beautiful jewelry now? I don't believe it."

There were too many people who said they didn't believe it. Cao Qingping was watching from above and didn't explain anything. Instead, he waited for them to say enough.

After more than ten minutes of commotion, "Chief, what do you think we should do about this?"

"What can we do? One person from each family should go down the mountain and ask alone. You can go anywhere and ask. Then you will know the price."

"Chief, it's not that we don't trust you, but we feel that the treasure we have kept for so many years is now gone."

"How much does the National Bank charge for real gold and silver? No matter how beautiful these jewels are, they are not as useful as real gold and silver.

I heard that there is no war in our country, but the countries next to ours are fighting. Now the only way to feel at ease is to keep the money in your hand."

"Chief, let's not go down the mountain. If foreigners come in, it will be too dangerous down there. Don't you agree? Even though we don't have enough food and life is hard up there, and the young men can't find wives, we are still alive after all. If we die down there, we will have nothing."

Now there are even more people who disagree to go down the mountain.

Everyone looked at the patriarch, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"Everyone is just worrying for nothing. You will know if you go down and take a look. Thousands of our soldiers have crossed the border to support foreign countries. They not only help foreigners, but mainly block the enemy's way of attacking our country.

People in the county town at the foot of the mountain live and work in peace and contentment. Although life is not easy, I see that many people are quite calm, which shows that they have full confidence in our soldiers' ability to block the enemy's way.

Stop talking nonsense, let's go tomorrow, one person per family, and see it with our own eyes."

"Old Five, there are so many people who need to share the remaining things at home. Sell them all. Whether you want to go down the mountain or live in the mountain and buy food from below, you need money.

We don't have much gold and silver left, so we'll take them all down and exchange them for money."

"Uncle Six, the gold and silver should stay."

"Old Five, how are we going to divide up the little stuff left? Change it all into money, and then we can divide it by headcount. That way, no one will suffer a loss."

That's true. I'm just afraid that if the distribution is not even, things won't go smoothly. Everyone knows how much stuff there is and they know the number. Everything is laid out in the open, so they can't find any fault even if they want to.

"Okay, I'll listen to Uncle Six and go to the bank to exchange it when the time comes."

"No, you've let the Taoist priest suffer. If he wants the gold and silver, we should give it to him. Otherwise, it will make us look like people in our village have no conscience." Who will care about us in the future? But we can't let others look down on us.
