Back to 80, start from gold digging

Chapter 168 Just be happy
No matter how well planned Li Cuizhen was, she had no choice but to show her charming eyes to the blind man - all her efforts were in vain.Zhao Wenduo acted as if he didn't see it, and there was no expression on his face. He just repeated what he just said: "There is nothing wrong with practicing more if you are familiar with it or not. Anyway, there is no shortage of this."

Now the He Mine is divided into accounts once a month, and the savings in 30 days are quite a lot. It is more than enough to support one person to practice his craft.After all, this is not food. It has to be consumed three times a day. A hundred or ten grams is enough for him to carve for a while.

There is nothing wrong with what Zhao Wenduo said. It is true that the mine is in the village and the output can be seen every day.As the largest shareholder, of course he gets the most.There is really no shortage of things that can be seen every day.But the problem is, this is not an ordinary thing. It can be simply described as less or more.That is gold, serious hard currency, which is more useful than money during times of famine.Who can think of too much gold? Why, money bites your hand!

Obviously it couldn't be more precious, but when she said it, it was like needles and threads, which could be taken out and lent to others for use.

I really don’t know whether to say that she is crazy after living a good life for too long, or that she treats money like dirt, but it doesn’t sound very pleasant to the ears and makes people want to slap her twice.

Li Cuizhen was grinding her back molars, and the palms behind her back were itching. This naughty child could go to the house and knock off the tiles without being beaten for three days. Such a big idea now doesn't even say hello to her mother. She just opens her mouth whenever she thinks of it. Come on, I’m not even thinking about whether I can tell you!

Zhao Mingyu's eyes almost popped out of his sockets when he looked at his wife. The third child looked like a normal person, calm and dumb as if she wasn't receiving the slightest signal. She couldn't help but want to laugh just looking at her.

But as soon as he made a "poof" sound, Li Cuizhen glared over. She didn't even think about trying to persuade that naughty kid. She was still laughing here. I won't be able to deal with you later.

Zhao Mingyu dared to continue laughing when the threatening glare came over him. He hurriedly pressed his lips together, suppressed the smile on his face, and pretended to be serious and said: "Yes, your mother is right. , Uncle Wolf, your skill is not something you can just practice, there is no need to practice it, these three things are enough to familiarize yourself with the program. Isn’t that right, brother?"

Wolf Boy saw this series of reactions clearly, and smiled in a good-tempered way: "Originally, it was just a temporary itch, and I wanted to make something, but when I became addicted, I couldn't control myself. It happened that the third girl was generous and took it. That gold came out. I have been busy making these things for so long, and I didn’t explain it clearly to you. Instead, the third girl took the blame, and it’s all my fault.”

Until this moment, the matter of asking for hundreds of grams of gold was clearly explained.

Except for Zhao Wenduo's vague guess, the rest of the Zhao family finally understood that Wolf Boy was not going to take the gold at all, but was taking it back to make jewelry.Isn’t this all in front of you now?
"Hey, whoever takes the blame is not an outsider. Isn't that just a far-fetched thing to say?" After Li Cuizhen was sure that these gold ornaments would not be taken away again, the smile on her face became more sincere.

They are all from small families, ordinary people, how many of them don't like gold.It can't be said that she is jealous of money. This is hundreds of grams of gold, which is a small amount of 1 yuan.According to the current price theory, it is enough to buy a set of stores.

Let alone villagers like them, they are workers in the town, and there are only a few people who can afford such money.For such a large amount of money, I was not mentally prepared at all. I would give it away as soon as I wanted to. No one would be willing to give it away.

At that time, Zhao Wenduo didn't get a fat beating, so that was all good.

Seeing the cooked duck fly away and come back again was an unexpected surprise, so how could Li Cuizhen be unhappy?

Zhao Mingyu was equally happy, but it was more than she thought. She only added more water to the cup and then said to Wolf Boy: "Brother Lang, you have spent so many days of hard work to finish this jewelry." , and now that Baba has sent it, how can we just accept it, we have to show it no matter what -"

"No, no." Wolf Boy waved his hands quickly: "That's just polite, but if I'm serious about it, I have to thank Third Girl. If she hadn't generously brought out these ingredients, I wouldn't have been able to make it even if I wanted to."

That's true, there are few people who can give away eighty thousand pieces of gold like her. Isn't this generous?

"Over the past few months, I've become addicted to crafting. It's useless to leave these things alone after I've made them. It's better to take them over. There are your things on the left and right." Whether you want to sell them or keep them, then he Just don’t ask.

During the whole process, he was just a craftsman. Once the production was completed, he had nothing to do.

"How can this be done? It's taken so long, why don't you want nothing?" Li Cuizhen was not a stingy person. After knowing that it was a misunderstanding, she was quite friendly and did not want to let the wolf boy's hard work go in vain.

At this moment, the couple was in unison, both planning to thank Wolf Boy. As for whether it would be money or things, they didn't think about it for a while, they were all thinking about it.

I thought that Wolf Boy would continue to refuse, but with his usual behavior, he would indeed do so.Surprisingly, he didn't say anything again. He just stayed silent for a moment and then said, "It's not like I don't want anything. Didn't you all give it to me just now?"

"……what?"

Why didn't you understand? Why did you just give me everything?
The wolf boy showed his face to them, with a warm smile on his wrinkled but gentle face: "The expressions on your faces when you saw these things earlier let me know that my hands are still strong and my craftsmanship has not deteriorated. .This is the best thank you gift.”

A person's work is praised by others, his skills are affirmed, and he gets considerable spiritual satisfaction.

This is the so-called thank you gift, reward.

Several people were stunned for a moment, realizing more and more that such a person has a broad mind and an extraordinary vision.

If you are a wealthy person, it may not matter if you say such a thing. If you have a lot of money, you will naturally look down on tiny particles.But for a poor person, it is very valuable to be able to put down such a small sum of money.

Zhao Mingyu wanted to say a few more words of persuasion, but when he thought that he usually refused financial support from the villagers, he silently withdrew his words and sighed softly in his heart.

Li Cuizhen secretly regretted her stingy behavior just now. If she had known it would be like this, she would have given these things to him, so what could she have done. ——You can’t give them all away. Let’s give one piece away.

Zhao Wenlan sat aside, listening to these conversations, her emotions were ups and downs, almost like a full-length TV series.She didn't know much about Wolf Boy. She only knew that there was a person like him in the village from the little information Zhao Mingyu occasionally revealed.The one I heard the most was when Zhao Wenduo sent money, but Li Cuizhen scolded him so hard that he almost knocked down the roof of the house.Even though Zhao Wenduo repeatedly stated that she had given it to him voluntarily, and Zhao Mingyu was there to testify, she still felt that this person had some evil intentions, and it was unreasonable to ask for gold from a little girl.

Unexpectedly, this time he brought the beaten jewelry over. Once he spoke clearly, he realized that it was his villainous heart.This impression immediately changed drastically.

Zhao Wennan is a little girl. Although she doesn't fully understand, she understands more than half of it.That is, these beautiful bracelets and necklaces were made by the old man in front of me, but they were given to them for free, without asking for anything.He is clearly a good person!

What a little girl of seven or eight years old understands, but people several years older than her don't understand.

It is said that Zhao Wenduo was the initiator of this matter. Zhao Mingyu and Li Cuizhen both spoke out one after another. She should express her position no matter what.But from the time I came here to now, I have only said a few words, and they all mean the same thing, that is, I don’t need money to ask people to practice.

At this point, it's really time for her to say something. Don't make people work so hard that they don't even get any money for their hard work.

Zhao Mingyu and Li Cuizhen both turned their attention to Zhao Wenduo, hoping that she would say a few words to show others that their family was not unreasonable and should be shown. No favors can be owed.

Zhao Wenduo didn't have to look back to receive the deep intentions from his parents. His face always had a calm expression, and there was nothing he could do about it since he was born with a wooden face.

It lived up to expectations. At this juncture, he actually spoke up, but instead of directly advising the wolf boy to charge, he pointed at the family members one by one with his fingers: "One, two, three, four, five - oh, there is another one." Xiaowu, six people in total——"

The few people in the room just looked at her counting stupidly, with their eyes wide open, wondering what she wanted to do.

Even the wolf boy was stunned by her move and stared intently, waiting for her next move.

Seeing that this move attracted everyone's attention, Zhao Wenduo gave himself a thumbs up in his heart, knowing that they would be fooled.He grinned proudly, showing his big white teeth, and said happily: "Uncle Wolf, your requirements are too low. There are only six people in our family, so you are satisfied with just a few compliments? You Don’t you want to go one step further and let more people see your craftsmanship? It would be a pity not to wear such beautiful jewelry. Only when others wear it can they show their beauty. Isn’t this also true for a goldsmith like you? The original intention?”

A person who usually doesn't talk much suddenly becomes eloquent, and the key point is that he smiles with his big teeth showing. Everyone is surprised.But for the Zhao family, they could smell a vaguely familiar smell.If I remember correctly, Wu Dakui was asked to join in collecting the skins, and the villagers were mobilized to buy shares after discovering the mineral deposits. Whenever someone tried to persuade someone, he would show this expression.

Or to put it another way, when she was about to start flirting with someone, she showed such strange enthusiasm.Or, she also knew that the confused face was not very convincing, so she changed the line.

The family members know this, but how do outsiders know?

The third girl from the Zhao family is cold-faced, and everyone in the village knows that.Wolf Boy doesn't come out very often, and his dealings with Zhao Wenduo are limited to three or two encounters where he asks for money and gives money. His impression of her is only superficial. He knows that she is a smart and capable girl. She is the one he sees all the time. There was no expression on the face, and he didn't say a few words, but he only focused on the key points, without too much nonsense.

They say this girl is not sweet-tongued and doesn't talk much.But in his behavior just now, there was no trace of rumors. He was very sweet and his words were confidential.A series of three questions left him stunned.It took me a while to react, and with a calmness after deep thought, I asked her: "Then do you think I should take this step to let more people know me?"

Although he did not answer directly, there was some emotion in his words.Zhao Wenduo's smile deepened, he blinked, and even said a little playfully: "I think it's okay. It doesn't take much effort anyway. Taking a few steps is just a stroll."

Serious and good craftsmanship, such good things can be made as soon as they are made. Ordinary styles are not just picked up and completed as if they are just playing.Others may be worried about losing their hair, but for him, it is as simple as walking in a crooked way.

Hearing this, the wolf boy fell into deep thought and seemed to be considering this proposal.

The Zhao family also recovered from their daze, and Zhao Mingyu spoke first: "Third brother, what do you mean by this, do you have any plans?" That's what Dakui said.It's just a change of profession and objects.

Li Cuizhen also had an inquiring look on her face. She was a girl with a smart mind, and her smile was not in vain. There were hidden meanings in it. Such deception must have been her intention.

At this time, Zhao Wenduo did not intend to hide it anymore, and said directly: "I plan to open a jewelry store on the town street, and I will use the small second floor. The area is just right."

This was something I had planned a long time ago, and now I just said it out loud to let you know.

Before Zhao Mingyu and Li Cuizhen could speak, Zhao Wenduo took the lead and said, "The master of jewelry making has already been chosen, but I don't know if he is willing to do it." He turned to Wolf Boy and asked in a more relaxed tone. He said: "Uncle Wolf, I wonder if you would like to help me with this?"

Zhao Wenduo didn't mention whether he was working or not, he just asked if he was willing to help, which gave the wolf boy face without losing his normalcy and forcing him too hard.

Talented people usually have a temper.This seems to have become a certain rule, and Zhao Wenduo feels that Wolf Boy will be no exception.When asked by her so blatantly, even if he wholeheartedly agrees, he has to pretend to be reserved, otherwise how can he show that he has a good reputation and status.

Even other members of the Zhao family feel that the wolf boy will be like this, and their next words may be: I will think about it and then reply to you.

Unexpectedly, his answer was a bit unexpected - he was so straightforward that he barely waited for two seconds and said with a smile on his face: "Okay, then I'll give it a try."
