I asked you to pan for gold, do you understand panning for gold? Do you use a car to pull it?

The money was not enough.

One twenty-yuan note and three ten-yuan notes, a total of fifty yuan.

Just from the house, it can be seen that Chen Feng's family conditions are not good.

Liu Ping makes a living by raising poultry and farming. Sometimes when others recruit workers, she will go to work for a few days, earning fifty yuan a day.

She is busy all year round, but her income is only about fifteen thousand yuan.

Apart from daily expenses and Chen Feng's spending, there is nothing left.

"Uh... Mom, I want three thousand." Chen Feng took the fifty yuan and said with some embarrassment.

"What the hell, how much do you want?" Liu Ping was shocked by Chen Feng's words and looked at him in disbelief.

"Three thousand, what do you want to do? You can just take my life."

Liu Ping's face was full of rejection, and there was no way she would give him the money.

Fifty was not a small amount, it was enough for him to spend for several days.

If she really gave him three thousand, he probably wouldn't go home for the next half month, and would only come back when he ran out of money.

"No, Mom, I want to go panning for gold with the villagers, so I have to buy a set of equipment."

"Adding up all the bits and pieces, it's probably three thousand."

Chen Feng knew that Liu Ping thought he was going to squander, so she was so shocked. After saying that, he added, "I'll lend you this three thousand. I'll give it to you when I make money."

Liu Ping said with doubt: "Is it true? Are you really going to pan for gold? You won't spend it carelessly?"

"Of course it's true. I also think I can't stay like this any longer." Chen Feng nodded seriously.

"Panning for gold..."

Speaking of panning for gold, Liu Ping couldn't help but hesitate.

Some villagers are indeed panning for gold. Because of the bad economy, there are not so many temporary workers.

So they came up with a side way to make money, which was to take a metal detector and go to the abandoned gold mine nearby to pan for gold.

Everyone had a dream of panning for gold bricks and becoming rich overnight, but unfortunately almost everyone came back with some scrap metal every day.

Occasionally, someone could pan for a gold nugget, which was exciting enough for half a month.

But in fact, the average monthly income of a gold panner was only three or four hundred yuan.

But because everyone had a dream of panning for gold bricks tomorrow, even if the income was very low, many people in this industry still enjoyed it.

"Son, this industry is too unstable, it's no different from gambling, otherwise you should find a stable job. Many people in our village bought equipment, but they didn't make back their capital in the end and quit."

Liu Ping was afraid that Chen Feng would be enthusiastic for three days, and finally didn't want to do it and lost thousands of dollars. Besides, this industry was too unstable. It sounded like you could pan for big gold bricks, but in fact, there was only today and no tomorrow, so it was not a long-term solution.

"Mom, please believe me once. I'm serious this time. I'm definitely not just joking for three days."

Chen Feng knew what she was worried about. After all, three thousand yuan was really not a small amount for his family.

That was all saved up by his mother doing odd jobs, weeding and planting in the fields in the hot summer.

Seeing that Chen Feng didn't seem to be joking this time, Liu Ping pursed her lips and hesitated for a long time, and finally went to her room and took out a red cloth bag.

She came back and opened the red cloth in front of Chen Feng, counting the hundred-yuan bills inside.

A total of two thousand and nine.

She took out some change from her pocket and made up a hundred yuan.

Holding the three thousand yuan tightly in her hand, Liu Ping looked at Chen Feng and said with good intentions.

"My eldest son, you should fight for your mother. Don't spend money recklessly and work hard."

"You know that every time your uncle talks about you in front of me, I feel so sad."

"I also want to raise my head in front of him and all the relatives."

"But I can't help it. I know you feel bad, so I don't usually say anything about you."

"I dare not eat or drink every day. Why?"

"Isn't it just to be able to raise my head in front of relatives?"

"They always say that they shouldn't spoil you and just throw you in the factory."

"But I always feel that my son won't be so decadent. One day he will have a promising future and can support this family..."

"You..."

As she spoke, Liu Ping's eyes became moist.

No one knows how difficult it is for a woman who is no different from a widow to raise Chen Feng. The bitterness is known.

Chen Feng's eyes also turned red when he listened to Liu Ping's words.

When the whole world thought that Chen Feng was useless, only his mother Liu Ping still foolishly believed that Chen Feng would one day wake up and become promising.

.

"Don't worry, Mom. I won't let you down this time."

Chen Feng spoke softly, but his words revealed a firmness he had never had before.

"Well, take this money. Mom believes you." Liu Ping's voice was a little choked. She stuffed the money into Chen Feng's hand and turned her head away.

She didn't want her son to see her vulnerable side.

After taking the three thousand yuan, Chen Feng never felt that money would be so heavy. He walked out the door and took a deep breath in the sunshine.

The woman who was cursing at the door was probably tired and went back at this time.

Chen Feng subconsciously touched his pocket and wanted to take a cigarette, but found that his pocket was empty and there was no cigarette.

He shook his head and went to the farm machinery store in the village.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw several villagers chatting around the bar, and the owner Han Jianguo was also smoking at the bar.

Han Jianguo has a classic self-shaved flat head in the village, wearing a gray loose lapel T-shirt. He is about 40 years old this year.

It must be said that he is quite capable of seizing opportunities. When gold diggers began to appear in the village, he seized the business opportunity.

Gold diggers dig for gold, and he sells tools to them. No matter whether they can find gold or not, he can make a profit by selling tools.

"Hey, Xiaofeng, why are you here? Do you want to buy farm machinery?" Han Jianguo was a little surprised to see Chen Feng, and greeted him with a smile.

"I came to buy a metal detector from you. Do you still have it?" Chen Feng asked after walking in, looking at the various farm machinery on his bar.

"Yes, why do you buy a metal detector? Do you also want to dig for gold?" Han Jianguo said unexpectedly.

"I have nothing to do, so I just go for fun." Chen Feng smiled and said nothing more.

"Okay, gold panning is OK. Look at our neighboring village. Damn, I heard that someone panned a gold nugget some time ago. Damn, he sold it for more than 20,000!"

"You also heard that he panned gold, so you want to try your luck, right?"

Han Jianguo smiled as if he saw through Chen Feng.

The villagers next to him were a little surprised when they heard this, and they all spoke up.

"How much? Sold for more than 20,000. My God, that kid is rich now."

"Damn, I'll go panning tomorrow too. How much money do I make from farming for a year?"

"If I can pan such a big piece of gold, I'll have a certificate for a year, and my wife will definitely not dare to fart."

Seeing that Chen Feng didn't speak, Han Jianguo started to talk again.

"I tell you, you're right to come to me to buy it."

"Do you know whose metal detector that kid used to pan such a big piece of gold?"

"My, if it wasn't for my metal detector, he could have panned such a big piece of gold. He's dreaming."
