Chapter 258

Cheng Shanghu started working when he came back with a half-cart of wood.

Cheng Li watched from the side, "Third uncle, the rear legs of the wheelchair use bicycle wheels, and the front legs use wheels like my little wooden cart."

"Do you still need wheels on the front legs?"

"Of course, without four wheels, how can it be stable?"

Cheng Shanghu threw the wood away, "I'll go buy a wheel first."

After Mr. Cheng sent Dr. Hu out and learned that his third son had gone to the street to buy a wheel, he asked Wen An to follow Dr. Hu to get the medicine.

Cheng Guoshan packed his luggage in a hurry, "I'll go back and find a waiter for my second brother. Third brother, I want to exchange this gold for money."

"Why? Xiao Si said that the price of gold will increase if you collect it."

Cheng Guoshan shook his head, "There are too many places that need to spend money at home. It's like taking it back and replacing it. It's better to give it to you."

Mr. Cheng called his little granddaughter.

Cheng Li confirmed with Grandpa again.

Seeing that the grandpa was determined to exchange money, she took him to the Beitang room and took out 2000 yuan from the round room.

Mr. Cheng counted one thousand and eight to his eldest brother, and Cheng Guoshan left in a hurry.

Cheng Li took the newspaper roll away, "Grandpa will regret it soon."

Mr. Cheng followed behind his little granddaughter and asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Li first locked the newspaper rolls in a drawer of the wardrobe, and then took out three stacks of unity from the round room, "Let's go and exchange them for gold."

"You haven't answered me yet."

"At the end of the year, the price of gold has risen by half, and the grandpa lost at least 1000 yuan."

"He won't regret it. The tractor you gave him is more than this price."

Well, grandpa must think that the meat rotted in the pot, it's not a loss.

Mr. Cheng took his own 2000 yuan, plus the remaining 1000 yuan he got from San'er, took his armed little granddaughter, and set off pushing the cart.

Grandpa and grandson exchanged gold, of course, it was impossible to go to the bank to exchange it blatantly.

Although the market is completely open, there are some things that cannot be seen, and the black market exists all the time.

In those years, there were no housekeepers who had not been to the black market.

At that time, Mr. Cheng didn't care about the house, but there were quite a few bills that needed him to come forward to exchange, so he naturally had his own way.

Go north from the west exit of Shunhe Street, that is, go north on Defense Road, turn into the second alley, and stop in front of a tailor shop.

After locking the cart, Mr. Cheng entered the shop with his granddaughter in his arms.

There is only a woman who is stepping on a sewing machine with her head down, and there are several finished clothes hanging on the wall.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the woman looked up, then lowered her head and continued sewing.

"What do the guests want?"

"Yellow croaker."

The woman raised her head again, "Eight yuan."

"Seven dollars."

"Seven dollars and five."

Mr. Cheng pretended to hesitate for a moment, nodded and said, "I want small strips, good quality."

"Guests don't worry."

"16."

The woman got up, "The guest wait a moment."

When the woman left the shop, Cheng Li asked her grandpa, "Grandpa, are there fake ones?"

"No, this family has always had a reputation of being innocent."

The woman came back quickly, followed by a man holding a small wooden box.

The man silently put the small wooden box on the tailoring case.

Mr. Cheng opened his granddaughter's backpack, took out a newspaper roll and put it on the case.

The two reached out at the same time, pushed the things in front of each other, and then each opened the things in front of them to check.

Cheng Li wanted to laugh inexplicably, the transaction scene was like the underworld transaction in TV dramas.

Mr. Cheng checked every gold bar, closed the box, and stuffed it into the little granddaughter's backpack.

Then he looked at the man who was counting money, and seeing the man nodded, he picked up his little granddaughter and walked out of the store.

Cheng Li was lying on the cart, pillowed on the box in her backpack, looking at the dark sky, did she think it was going to rain?

Grandpa Cheng looked at the little granddaughter who was dangling with Erlang's legs, and couldn't help feeling amused, "You exchanged the money, don't you want to buy a yard?"

"Buy it! Ask my mother to buy it when the time comes, these are mine."

She hasn't finished changing, isn't there still two packs of Great Unity?Next year, if she has no other income, she will use another wad to invest in buying monkey tickets, but she doesn't know how many boards this county can send down.

Don't force it!Don't force it!As many as there are, she will wrap up as many rounds as possible.

Old Master Cheng couldn't help laughing at her, "You girl, you still dominate yourself?"

"Of course, these are earned by myself. The yard belongs to everyone, and my mother, the parent, should buy it."

Mr. Cheng smiled and didn't continue this topic. He was happy that his granddaughter knew how to manage her money.

When she got home, Cheng Li asked her third uncle, who had already bought a wheel, to work.

What live?Dig a hole in the corner of the outer half of the North West House.

He also asked Cheng Xian to help her buy an earthen jar with a lid.

When the crock came back and the hole was dug, she drove everyone away.

He dragged the grandfather who was holding a box into the north room and closed the door of the north main room. The grandpa and grandson worked quietly in the north and west rooms.

When she took out the gold bars and stuffed them into the earthen pot, Cheng Li was still thinking, if the round house could store everything, wouldn't she need to work so hard?
Obviously gold is also a metal, why can the dagger and the broken iron piece can be taken in, but the gold can't be taken in?

Take one and she babbles.

Suddenly the gold bars in her hand disappeared.

Dazed for a moment, she hurriedly called out the round room, and saw a small piece of golden yellow on the base of the four-color beam of light.

Can you accept it?
Old Master Cheng was also taken aback, "Where's the gold bars?"

"Take it in."

"Can you accept it?"

"I don't know? It didn't accept it before..."

Cheng Li scratched her head. In the past, did it accept or not?

Mr. Cheng nodded his little granddaughter's forehead, "What it doesn't accept are old banknotes, food, bedding and luggage. Have you tried gold? Has our family ever had gold?"

"Uh, I haven't tried it. I don't care. Since it can be accepted, let's put it all in. When it becomes legal in the future, buy a safe and take it out."

Old Master Cheng agreed, "Okay, take them all in, even your second grandfather, it's safe."

After a pause, he said again: "Xiaosi, that place should be hygienic, it doesn't accept all kinds of messy smells like old banknotes; it doesn't accept food that smells bad;

If the bedding is either smelly or too worldly, it doesn't accept it either..."

With a "boom", as if in line with Master Cheng's words, the gold bar that was put in before was spit out.

The grandpa and grandson burst into laughter.

Cheng Li opened a crack in the door and asked the eldest sister to fetch her two basins of warm water and two pieces of cotton cloth.

After Grandpa took the two pots, Cheng Li closed the door again.

The gold bars that were wiped clean were put in neatly as expected.

Cheng Li is sure that no matter how clean the bedding and food are, the round room will not be accepted, just like what grandpa said ~ too mundane.

Under the control of Cheng Li's mind, the gold was not only divided into three parts, but a note was written and pressed under each pile, "Grandpa, I have 12 pieces, and you only have eight pieces."

"Yes, I remember, it won't depend on you."

Cheng Li smirked, "Hehe, my brother will settle accounts clearly, and our grandparents will also settle accounts clearly."

"You, you." Old Master Cheng nodded to his little granddaughter, "What should I do about this pitfall?"

"Continue to bury the earthen jar."

Cheng Li's heart skipped a beat. She and her grandfather had a lot of noise today. What if the news about buying gold leaked out?

Moreover, why did Round House suddenly take the initiative to accept gold?
"Grandpa, wait a minute, help me get something down."
