Years: Salted fish life since going to the countryside.

Chapter 407: Being swept by the magpie’s tail

The carriage gradually approached the county seat with bumps along the way. The strange thing was that the weather was not cold at all, but Jiang Xiaoli's face was as red as if she had been frozen.

The carriage then drove into the county town, and it was still a long time before departure.

The two of them planned to have breakfast on the roadside, but if Jiang Xiaoli hadn't been grabbed by Han Li when she got out of the car, she would have fallen to pieces. Even so, her legs could not stop shaking after she stood up. .

"You are worthy of becoming a worker. Your physical strength has declined greatly now. You used to work on tree trunks for much longer than this."

Others may not understand the meaning of these words, but Jiang Xiaoli, as the person involved, certainly knows what is going on.

But now on the street, Jiang Xiaoli could only roll her eyes at Han Li and said.

"I just sat in the carriage for too long and my legs are numb. It will be fine if I slow down a little."

Then the two of them sat in front of the breakfast stall and ate in silence. After eating, Han Li drove Jiang Xiaoli to the bus station in a carriage.

Han Li handed Jiang Xiaoli's bag to her, looked at her hesitant expression and whispered.

"I wish you to move forward, sing and be sunny all the way for the rest of your life. May you have a bright future, a worry-free heart, and always face the vicissitudes of life with a smile. Goodbye, Xiaoli.

After Han Li finished speaking, he pulled the reins on the horse's head and turned around to leave. Jiang Xiaoli recovered from the emotion and asked at his back.

"Can I still come to you in the future?"

"I welcome you at any time as long as it doesn't affect your work or family. Have a safe journey."

After Han Li finished speaking, he waved his whip and drove away. After Jiang Xiaoli watched the carriage turn around and disappear, she rubbed her eyes, patted her face gently, let herself smile, and then looked at Walk to the ticket office.

When Han Li drove the carriage away from the station, Li Hongxia, who had chatted with Jiang Xiaoli until very late yesterday and sent him out in the morning, was forced to open her eyes.

After seeing that everyone in the room had gone to work, she quickly got up and changed herself into a pair of underwear, then lay on the kang again and thought about the idea Jiang Xiaoli gave her last night.

First of all, he must go to the farm as soon as possible to find a partner. Then he mentioned the difficulty of living here while pregnant and the fact that he almost had a miscarriage. What he finally expressed was that he wanted to stay here on the farm to wait for delivery.

If he has second thoughts and still refuses, he can go directly to the company headquarters to ask the leader to make the decision.

If you agree to stay, then as long as you operate well, you can stay there and become a paid educated youth.

Li Hongxia wondered why it made sense, thinking that this might be the benefit of being well-informed, right?
But the first thing she had to do now was to correct the fetal position, otherwise if something happened on the road, she wouldn't have anywhere to cry.

At this time, Li Hongxia remembered the dream that woke her up again, and Hongxia's face was covered with red clouds again.

After Han Li left the station, he first went to the leather tanner, paid the money and took away the leather he had left here, but this time he had no leather to tan.

Han Li came out from the tanner's place, took out some of the two kinds of incense he had made recently, and came to Aunt Liu.

Whether it's rosin used to refresh the mind and improve indoor air, or fragrance powder used to repel mosquitoes, Aunt Liu likes it very much.

However, after liking it, he just continued to nag and exhort as usual. During this period, Han Li learned that new educated youths would be arriving in the near future, but this time the number of educated youths may not be as large as in previous years.

After leaving Aunt Liu's place, Han Li drove his carriage to the scrapyard and bought some scrap metal.

I watched a small group fight at the intersection of the supply and marketing cooperative. The reason for the fight was unknown, and the members involved were unknown. The lively scene did not imply that it was tragic, but it was the level of ordinary people fighting without weapons. However, these people were quickly taken away by big-brimmed hats. .

Next, Han Li bought two pull boxes (switches) for electric lights, and went to a medicinal material company to buy some medicinal materials he needed recently.

Then he drove the carriage back. When we left the county town, there were two fellow villagers on the carriage who were on their way back to Hongqi Commune.

There was a lot of chatting on the road, mostly about trivial matters among the villagers and some news between men and women.

Han Li thought it was amusement at first, but the words spoken by one of the aunts on the bus cheered him up.

"Don't you know, something strange happened in the sewing club of our commune."

"What's weird? Why didn't I hear about it?"

"Didn't the yard of the sewing club originally belong to the landlord Hu who had a great general in his ancestors? There was a big pine tree in that yard. Do you still remember it?"

"I don't know much anymore. I was a member of the sewing club a few years ago."

"Recently, the big pine tree has been bleeding rosin. Some people say that landlord Hu's family is gone, and the pine tree is weeping for them."

"Shh, don't dare to say that nonsense."

"Cough. Cough. I didn't say anything."

This topic immediately silenced the carriage, but Han Li was very interested in the news.

He doesn't believe in the saying that pine trees weep for people, but he can't get enough rosin when making incense these days.

So after waiting for the two fellow villagers to get off the bus at the commune, Han Li made a special trip to the yard of the sewing club.

Sewing Club: In the late 60s, our country launched a mutual aid and cooperative movement, and the sewing club was born.

But in this era, sewing machines were not only large but also very few in number.

Therefore, there are two types of sewing societies: cooperatives and high-level sewing societies established in rural areas. In fact, they are township-level sewing societies and county-level sewing societies.

The difference is that there are no sewing machines in the township-level sewing cooperatives, and most of them rely on hand sewing, while there are more sewing machines in the county towns.There are no outside orders at this time, and even if there were, it would not be the turn of a small place like Hongqi Commune.

But whether there are orders or not, the sewing club must have them, otherwise it will be unable to keep up and unify its thinking with its superiors.

Therefore, sewing clubs have been established all over the country. In this case, sewing clubs can only help some villagers who cannot make clothes to make clothes to embody the spirit of unity, cooperation and mutual assistance.

But, but, because of the cloth stamps, most people lived three years of new clothes, three years of old clothes, and another three years of mending, and few bought new clothes throughout the year.

And how many women in the village don’t know how to make clothes?Even if one of them doesn't know how to do it, she will usually go to her sisters and sisters-in-law for help. Very few people come to the sewing club to spend this wasted money.

Therefore, when the sewing club was established, it was prosperous and lively, but it fell silent soon after.

When Han Li drove the carriage to this sewing club, it was almost like an abandoned yard, but there was still an old man on duty here. He saw Han Li entering and asked.

"What?"

"Uncle, I heard that the pine tree in the yard has been bleeding a lot of rosin recently, so I wanted to come over and cut some."

"What do you want that thing for?"

"There is too much rosin, so I want to melt it and make it a toy for my children."

"Then go in, but don't wander around."

After Han Li thanked the old man, he came to the pine tree. As expected, there was a lot of rosin on the tree.

He took out Kaba 1217, which he hadn't used for a long time, and started digging, but after Han Li started digging, he felt something was wrong.

The amount of rosin is indeed a bit extra. Logically speaking, this should not happen without external interference.

Thinking of this, Han Li stretched out his mental strength and found a hidden tree hole in the pine tree.

There is a box made of unknown wood inside the tree hole, and there are two copper locks on the outside of the box.

Originally, the box should have been easily placed in the tree hole, so there was nothing unusual about it.

But recently, the growth of the tree trunk has touched the box, which has caused excessive secretion of rosin.

Seeing this, Han Li's mental strength didn't have to look into the box to know what he had encountered?What is contained here must be the treasure of the landlord Hu whose ancestors produced a great general.

Han Li thought for a moment that he didn't seem to hear the magpies chirping today. Why did happiness come so suddenly?

Although he had some unexpected gains when he was in Ice City last time, no one would dislike the many resources in his hands.

However, opening blind boxes is not suitable for you to do here. Only when you return to your own home and open it slowly can it be more exciting and fulfilling.

So Han Li directly brought the box to the decomposition space, and then started cutting the rosin on the tree with all his strength.

After thanking the old gatekeeper, Han Li drove the carriage back to Shanghe Village.

After returning the carriage to the stable, helping to unload the carriage and feeding the horses, Han Li returned home carrying the medicinal materials.

At this time, my wife was still at the consignment point, so she could play the more exciting blind box opening game without any worries.

Han Li put the box out of the disassembly space and looked at the two copper locks with period characteristics on it, and couldn't bear to break them.

So I found a piece of iron wire and used my mental strength to quickly fiddle with the locks of the copper locks, and successfully opened the two locks.

After putting away the copper lock, Han Li slowly opened the box.

The moment he opened the box, Han Li felt that his eyes were dazzled. There were various jadeite, beeswax, bloodstone, jade, gold ingot, and egg-sized pearls inside.

There is also a small box. When you open the small box, there are shining pearls wrapped in oil paper and silk.

But why should the same pearl be placed separately?Han Li carefully observed the pearls placed individually in the small box. He saw that they were large, plump, round and crystal clear, and emitted colorful luster. Then he thought of Dongzhu, a specialty of Northeast Jianghe. The pearls inside were absolutely It's Dongzhu.

However, this ancestor of Landlord Hu's family was also bold enough. You must know that hiding Dongzhu secretly was a capital crime at that time.

He Zhongtang, the most powerful and powerful man in that dynasty, was the most powerful and wealthy man in the country. When he was questioned and executed, the first crime he was accused of was hiding Dongzhu secretly.

There were eighteen ingots of gold ingots. Han Li weighed them and found that each ingot weighed about a kilogram.

Therefore, even though Han Li had seen many gems together in Bingcheng, he was still surprised by what was inside the box.

While Han Lichang was playing with the pearls, he heard someone calling his name at the street door.

"Han Li, Doctor Han, are you back?"

Han Li had no choice but to put all these treasures into the decomposition space, and at the same time shouted back outside.

"Who is that? I just came back and am changing clothes. Wait a moment."

After Han Li packed up, he walked out of the house and saw several unknown fellow villagers milling around the door.

"You are?"
