Chapter 408: Sweeped 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 here to look for trouble 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 Go 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 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 we 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."

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

"Shh, don't dare say such 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 for his 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 1960s, 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.

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

The difference is that township-level sewing societies do not have sewing machines, and most of them rely on hand sewing. There are more sewing in the county.

At this time, there are no orders from outside, and even if there are, it is not the turn of the small place of Hongqi Commune.

But whether there are orders or not, the sewing society must have them, otherwise it will not be able to keep up with the pace and unify the thoughts with the superiors.

So sewing societies have been established all over the country. In this case, sewing societies can only help some villagers who can't make clothes to make clothes, which is used to reflect the spirit of unity, cooperation and mutual assistance.

But, but, because of the cloth coupons, most people live a life of three years of new, three years of old, and three years of mending. Few families buy new clothes throughout the year.

And how many women in the village can't make clothes? Even if there is one who can't, she will generally go to her sisters and sisters-in-law for help. Few people come to the sewing society to spend this money.

So the sewing club was established with great fanfare, but soon it became quiet.

When Han Li drove the carriage to the sewing club, it was just like an abandoned yard, but there was still an old man on duty. He asked Han Li after he saw him enter the door.

"What are you doing?"

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

"What do you want that thing for?"

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

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

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

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

The amount of rosin was indeed a bit extra, and it should not have happened without external interference.

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

There was a box made of some unknown wood in the tree hole, and there were two copper locks on the outside of the box.

Originally, the tree hole should be able to put down the box very easily, so there was nothing unusual before.

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

Seeing this, Han Li's mental power didn't need to probe into the box to know what he encountered? It must be the treasure of the Hu landlord whose ancestors had produced a great general.

Han Li thought about it and thought that he didn't seem to hear the magpie calling today, why did happiness come so suddenly.

Although he had some unexpected gains when he was in Bingcheng last time, no one would dislike having too many resources in his hands.

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

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

After thanking the old man who was guarding the door, Han Li drove the carriage back to Shanghe Village.

First, he returned the carriage to the barn, helped unload the carriage, and fed the horses before Han Li went home with the herbs on his back.

At this time, his wife was still at the agency, so he could play this exciting blind box opening game without any worries.

Han Li put the box out of the decomposition space, and looked at the two copper locks on it that were more characteristic of the age, and couldn't bear to break it.

So he found a piece of iron wire and used his mental power to quickly fiddle with the lock of the copper lock, 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 his eyes blurred. There were all kinds of jade, beeswax, chicken blood stone, jade, gold ingots, and egg-sized pearls in it.

There was also a small box. When the small box was opened, there were pearls wrapped in oil paper and silk, shining with luster.

But why should the same pearls be put separately? Han Li carefully observed the pearls placed separately in the small box. They were large, full, round, crystal clear, and exuding colorful luster. Then he thought of the Dongzhu, a specialty of the rivers in the northeast. The pearls in it were definitely Dongzhu.

However, the ancestors of this Hu landlord were also bold enough. You know, it was a capital crime to privately store Dongzhu at that time.

The first crime of the first favorite minister and Zhongtang, who was powerful and rich enough to rival a country in that dynasty, when he was questioned, was to privately store Dongzhu.

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

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

When Han Li was playing with the Dongzhu, he heard someone calling his name at the street door.

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

Han Li had to put all these treasures into the decomposition space and shouted back to the outside.

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

Han Li packed up and walked out of the house. He saw a few unfamiliar fellow villagers circling at the door.

"Who are you?"
