Chapter 301 Windfall
"Ah! What is that? It's so bright in my eyes!" Yu Qingqing screamed and subconsciously covered her eyes with her left hand. The hoe in her right hand accidentally fell to the ground.
Yu Qinghai heard the noise and ran over quickly. The light from his side was not as strong, so he could see clearly what was happening inside the soil.
After seeing it, Yu Qinghai was so shocked that he was speechless, with his mouth wide open.
Yu Qingqing rubbed her eyes, turned around and changed direction. As a result, she saw a lot of white silver ingots lying quietly in the soil.
Soon, Hua Yuanyuan and Yu Qingmei, who were digging sweet potatoes carefully, also ran over curiously. When they saw what was in the soil clearly, Yu Qingqing covered their mouths in time, which prevented them from screaming.
Fortunately, this place is some distance away from Village Chief Liu and his men, so their situation here will not be discovered for at least a short period of time.
Yu Qinghai stared blankly at the thing in the soil, tiptoed to pick up a silver ingot, wiped it clean with his sleeve, and put it directly into his mouth and took a bite.
Only then did he confirm that the silver was real. Yu Qinghai was so excited that he couldn't speak. He could only nod his head stupidly, and the smile on his face couldn't be taken off.
After Yu Qingqing adjusted her mood, she gathered the people together and said in a voice barely audible enough to a mosquito: "Listen to me, don't say anything. Since we discovered this thing, there is no need for us to tell anyone else.
Otherwise, if so many people knew about this, they would start digging everywhere, which would definitely cause chaos. In this case, we should just dig up the things here quietly, just like digging sweet potatoes.
But we won't take it out, we'll just put it in the pit, and you guys can cover me later while I put the things away. Remember, no matter what you see later, don't exaggerate. "
Yu Qingqing's words were like a reassurance to everyone, making them feel a lot more at ease.
We were so excited just now that we almost forgot Yu Qingqing's uniqueness.
They can transfer these things out quietly!
Several people nodded seriously, suppressing their inner excitement, and their facial expressions quickly returned to calm.
Yu Qinghai also said firmly: "Third sister, don't worry! We will definitely keep this matter a secret. No one else will know except my father and mother."
That’s right, for things like this, the fewer people know about it, the better.
Hua Yuanyuan and Yu Qingmei also expressed their attitudes and would never let anyone else know about this matter.
Yu Qinghai continued to dig the soil, and soon a black box appeared in the soil.
There seemed to be more than twenty scattered silver ingots, and Yu Qingqing threw them all into the space in time.
Yu Qinghai and a few others continued to dig up the nearby soil, and as a result, they found more and more boxes.
He dug a box and Yu Qingqing quickly went into the income space.
After digging for about an hour, he finally finished. Fortunately, while he was digging, Hua Yuanyuan and Yu Qingmei were covering the soil behind him, so in the end there was only a one-meter-wide hole left, which was not too eye-catching.
Yu Qinghai dug out the last box, and Yu Qingqing quickly helped to fill the hole.
After finishing, everyone was tired and out of breath. A few of them sat on the ground and looked at the location of the pit. They found that it was not in the same direction as the sweet potato field. There were fewer sweet potatoes here, not too many.
Village chief Liu didn't pay much attention to them. When he saw them resting, he thought they were just tired from digging sweet potatoes.
Village chief Liu has already dug up a lot of sweet potatoes. As the saying goes, there is strength in numbers, and everyone's face is filled with joy of the harvest.
After a brief rest, Yu Qingqing glanced into the space and said, "This is too much, my God!"
Yu Qingqing muttered softly, and the people around her naturally heard it.
After they had rested, they started to move towards the sweet potato field again, and naturally did not mention anything about what had just happened.
Yu Qinghai was responsible for cutting down the sweet potato vines first, and then with a swing of the hoe, several sweet potatoes hanging on one vine were unearthed.
During the digging process, many sweet potatoes will be accidentally damaged, but everyone is reluctant to throw away even a single one, so basically those that are too small are picked up and taken home.
Since digging the sweet potatoes, Yu Qingqing has eaten roasted sweet potatoes, boiled sweet potatoes, steamed sweet potatoes, and sweet potato taro ball tea made with sweet potatoes and tea leaves, which makes her feel like she is back to the past.
As everyone was busy, the sun began to set. Looking at the afterglow of the sun at the horizon and the foot of the mountain, Yu Qingqing felt that most of the fatigue of the day had disappeared.
Village chief Liu and his colleagues are also preparing to finish work and go home. The sweet potatoes they dug this time have to be divided when they get home, which will take a lot of time.
No one had free hands, so everyone carried sweet potatoes on their backs or in their arms and went back happily.
Village chief Liu ran to Yu Qinghai and helped him carry the sweet potatoes. Since they started digging sweet potatoes, the smile on Village chief Liu's face has never faded.
He no longer had his previous prejudice against the Yu family and believed that the Yu family really cared about the village.
He has been the village chief for so many years, and only the arrival of the Yu family has brought various benefits to the village. It is also because of the arrival of the Yu family that the lives of the people in the village are getting better and better.
At the very least, the number of people starving to death is gradually decreasing, and it can even be said that no one is starving to death anymore.
Yu Qinghai wiped his muddy hands and continued to walk forward carrying a basket of sweet potatoes. As he walked, he said, "Village Chief Liu, you must have dug a lot of sweet potatoes today! When you take these sweet potatoes back, be sure to put them in a dry place.
Then you tell them that the damaged potatoes can be fed to chickens and ducks, or eaten by themselves. It is best to save some sweet potatoes as seeds for next year. Wouldn’t it be more convenient if we can grow sweet potatoes ourselves in the future?”
Village Chief Liu also smiled after hearing this, "Thank you for your reminder, Yu family boy. I will tell them how to put it. Everyone worked hard today, so we dug a lot. It's thanks to you that you discovered the sweet potatoes here and told us about it, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get this bargain."
Yu Qinghai smiled modestly. They naturally knew how to be grateful to those in the village who were truly kind to their family.
Everyone chatted and laughed along the way as they headed home.
However, as they approached the outside of Yu's new house, they heard noisy sounds in the distance.
