Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"Aunt, aunt, put down the burden, I will help you carry it!"

Lin Shu was holding a carrying pole with one hand and a basket of washed clothes with the other. When she heard the shouting behind her, she put down the pole and the basket and shook her numb arms. Her eldest nephew had already run up to her.

"Haha, aunt!"

Lin Dongfa ran over, stuffed the coat in his hand into Lin Shu's arms, took over the burden, and said with a smile: "Auntie, you carry the basket, and I'll fetch the water."

"Where are your grandfather and your father?"

"Grandpa and Dad were behind me. I ran back first."

"You are slacking off at work and don't want to delay even a moment after work." Lin Shu smiled and shook his head.

A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, full of energy, after working for half a day, he ran back to fetch a load of water, and he didn't seem to be struggling at all.

Lin Shu rubbed his shoulders and followed him.

Lin Dongfa is the eldest son of the eldest brother Lin Wei. He is seventeen years old this year. He has been naughty since childhood and has poor academic performance. He dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school and worked on the farm at home to earn work points.

Lin Shu and I are three years apart in age, so the two aunt and nephew get along well and are closer than with others.

"I just think that after work, I should go home quickly to eat and rest. It would be a waste of time to talk while walking on the road."

Just as he said, Lin Dongfa walked quickly and hurriedly while carrying the load, and Lin Shu sometimes had to jog to keep up with him.

When we got home, my eldest and second sisters-in-law had already returned home with the children. The two youngest nephews and nieces were playing with stones at the doorstep, while the others were helping to feed the pigs or pick vegetables.

The most idle person in the room might be the third brother Lin Gang, who was wearing an old green military uniform that he found from somewhere.

Although his clothes are old, he is still good-looking. His skin is whiter than most men in rural areas, and his eyebrows are raised. At first glance, one's first impression is that he looks uncouth.

But the fact is, Lin Gang is just a lazy second-rate guy in Xiaohe Village.

Lin Shu raised his foot and kicked Lin Gang's leg off the wooden stool.

Lin Gang was lying on a chair with his eyes closed, and was kicked out of nowhere. He was startled and opened his eyes and glared at him: "You..."

Lin Shu glared back at him: "You are lying here like a master. Aren't you embarrassed for a grown man to come back with the eldest and second sisters-in-law?"

When working in the team, an adult laborer is generally calculated based on ten work points. Women's work points are less, some are seven points, and some are six points.

Women get fewer work points because their physical strength is ultimately inferior to that of adult men. Another reason is that women are usually the first to leave work because they still have to do housework and take care of the family after work.

Therefore, the team usually lets women and children go off work first, and men are always the last group to go off work.

Lin Gang was lying here at this time. He must have been lazy and finished work first with the other female comrades.

Although Lin Gang was lazy and gluttonous in his previous life, he was a smart and sweet-talker who could coax people outside. His third sister-in-law was the one he coaxed back from the neighboring village.

Despite all the sweet words before marriage, Lin Gang was unreliable in the decades after marriage, and the third sister-in-law suffered a lifetime.

Lin Gang rubbed his kicked leg and turned around to curse: "Lin Shu, you are looking for death, right? Why can't I come back earlier to rest after work? The captain didn't say anything, who do you think you are?"

"You don't know who I am. Don't waste your words on me. Hurry up and clean out the pig manure in the pigsty before dinner!" Lin Shu dragged the stool he had been leaning on and sat down. He picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a glass of water.

"You're wishful thinking. You want me to do it, but you can't do it yourself?" Lin Gang gritted his teeth. He had worked outside for half a day, and he still wanted him to take care of the housework. What a wishful thinking!

"If you can kill the pig, don't eat the meat!"

"If you can eat a money-losing commodity, why can't I eat it?" Lin Gang said this without thinking.

"Who are you talking about losing money?"

Lin Shu stood up, her eyebrows raised. What she hated most in her life was favoring boys over girls. Besides, this idle man had been beaten up in her previous life.

Being lazy and gluttonous, you will achieve nothing.

"I'm talking about you!" Lin Gang said stubbornly.

"I think you deserve a beating!" Lin Shu was so angry that he picked up the broom behind the door and swung it at Lin Gang.

Lin Shu has been very strong since she was young. Lin Gang had no idea how many fights he had with her since they were young. As soon as he saw her movements, he knew that she wanted to find a suitable weapon to hit someone. He instantly jumped up from the recliner and ran away in a hurry.

Don't argue with a woman, just run away first.

Lin Shu's broom barely swept across his back, not even touching his clothes. She was so angry that she put her hands on her hips and yelled, "You bastard, don't run away if you can!"

Lin Gang ran out of the door and met his father Lin, the eldest son Lin Wei and the second son Lin Guang who had just returned home from work.

"Third brother, there must be a ghost chasing you when you run so fast!" Father Lin got a headache when he saw this unruly little son who didn't look serious at all.

"You are right, old man. There is a ferocious female ghost behind us!"

Lin Gang left these words and ran out of the village without paying any attention to Lin Shu who was jumping up and down in anger behind him, and sat under the big cypress tree at the entrance of the village.

At this time, everyone got off work and went home to rest and eat. There was no one under the big cypress tree. Lin Gang sat on a rock with his back against the tree trunk. With the gentle south wind blowing, he felt a little drowsy after a while.

Besides, when Mr. Lin and his two sons entered the house, they saw that Lin Shu had not yet put down the broom.

The eldest and second brothers following behind couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Father Lin snorted coldly when he saw this: "You are a girl, why do you always like to argue with the third brother? Don't forget that he is your brother. When you are old enough to get married, you should always give him some face."

"Face is not given by others, it is earned by oneself. He is cunning and sly, I think he deserves a beating!"

Lin Shu put the broom back behind the door. He knew that parents would like to give their children a slap on the wrist when they quarreled or fought, and would not favor anyone on the surface. Therefore, he did not take Lin's father's words to heart.

It was just that for Lin's father and his family, they hadn't seen Lin Shu for the whole morning, but for her, she hadn't seen Lin's father for more than 20 years.

Now seeing his father standing in front of him alive, Lin Shu's nose felt sore and his eyes turned slightly red. When Lin's father noticed this, he thought it was because his words were too harsh and made her feel wronged, so he sighed in his heart and said nothing more.

Lin Wei and Lin Guang both felt that there was nothing wrong with what Lin Shu said, and that the third brother just deserved a beating.

In the afternoon, the men in the village went to work in the paddy fields, clearing them for the next rice planting. The wives and girls in the village went to the fields to turn the soil and plant corn.

When Lin Shu went to work in the afternoon, she got a job of herding cattle from the accountant. Normally, it was not her turn as an adult to herd cattle.

But Lin Shu lied that he fell into a puddle in the morning, caught a cold, and was not feeling well, so he asked for an easier job.

The buffaloes in the village are usually taken care of by teenagers. Now it is the spring ploughing season, and most of the cows in the village are used to plow the fields, and only some half-grown calves need to be herded.

The remaining Buffaloes had lost half of their original workstations, and now even this half of the quota had been taken away by Lin Shu. How could the children not glare at her?

Lin Shu ignored the children's anger. As the saying goes, old children are always children. In her previous life, she was in her sixties and had the mentality of a child. After traveling through time for a few hours, if you round it off, she is now also a child who needs care.
