After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

Lan Xin and Lan Qing said goodbye to the others and went back to their homes first.

Seeing that it was not dark yet, Lan Xin decided to loosen up the soil in the yard first and planned to clear out one or two plots of land.

Otherwise, such a big yard would be left empty all the time, which would be such a waste.

Lan Xin rummaged around in the thatched hut and found a slightly rusty hoe.

The hoe looked like it had been used for many years. The square part on the front looked like it had been polished again and again, and the long wooden handle had been rubbed smooth. It was obvious that this hoe was Yuan Lanxin's money-making tool.

Lan Xin followed her memory, fetched well water, wet the surface of the ground, and then wielded a hoe to turn the soil.

With two "clicks", the ground that had just been loosened by weeding some time ago was turned over very easily after being watered. The yellowish mud was dug out piece by piece, which made Lan Xin feel a sense of accomplishment.

"This hoeing looks simple."

Lan Xin practiced all the poses, one, two, three times, and her hands gradually began to feel numb.

After five, six, seven times, my waist and arms began to feel sore.

Eight, nine, ten...

With a 'clang', the heavy hoe fell to the ground. Lan Xin pinched her waist with both hands, breathing heavily.

"No, no, I can't do this job."

Looking up at the hoe that he had been swinging for such a long time, he only managed to turn out a small square that was two fingers deep and three meters wide. Suddenly, he felt dizzy.

"Who said farming is easy?" Lan Xin murmured.

This is really not a job for humans.

Why is it that in Yuan Lanxin's memory, she was lying on her back, working hard with a hoe, pulling out weeds and picking up stones from time to time. In an afternoon, several square pieces of land were hoed and cleaned up. Why is it that she is not able to do it when it is her turn? Isn't this the same body?

"I just don't believe it." Thinking of this, Lan Xin gritted her teeth and refused to admit defeat, and continued to plow the land.

After working for another ten minutes, Lan Xin stopped breathing heavily. Her hands were numb, and she walked out of the yard.

It wasn't that she was lazy, but she noticed the noise at the door.

Lan's heart skipped a beat, wondering if it was a thief coming to scout the place.

Lan Xin carried the hoe and walked quietly towards the door. Just as she passed by, a figure walked towards her from the door. They were both startled.

"Oh, I'm so scared, it's Lan Xin."

The man patted his chest, looked up and saw that it was Lan Xin, and muttered half-complainingly.

"Do you know that scaring people can be fatal? Why didn't you make any noise when you walked?"

Lan Xin looked at the person at the door speechlessly, "Auntie, this is the door of my house. I haven't told you that you scared me yet. Where are you coming back from?"

Lan Xin looked at her and saw a big bamboo basket in her hand. It was empty and it didn't look like she had just come back from the vegetable garden.

"I, I just came back from the vegetable garden." The neighbor aunt said as she looked around, and when she noticed that she was holding an empty basket, she added with a smile.

"I went to the vegetable garden and looked around. There weren't many vegetables to pick, so I came back empty-handed."

"Isn't your private plot at the entrance of the village?" Lan Xin looked at her and asked.

It was this aunt who discovered the tractor parked at the door this morning. Seeing so many people coming in and out, could it be that she was tempted and wanted to take action?

Lan Xin pursed her lips and pretended not to know what the other person was thinking.

Sure enough, when asked about this, the neighbor's eyes flickered, and finally said directly: "Well, well, I admit that I secretly opened some land at the end of the village and planted some vegetables."

This made Lan Xin even more suspicious.

After all, this aunt has only one son and one daughter in her family. Her daughter is already married. She has two grandsons. Together with the old couple and the elderly in the family, there are only eight people in the family.

The twenty or so mu of private land allocated by the village is not enough for the family to eat, so they specially opened up a piece of land behind the village. Who would believe that they come here to pick vegetables but still have an empty basket?

Besides, as far as I can remember, there didn’t seem to be any new vegetable fields at the end of the village.

This is a lie. It's obvious that he came here to check out the place.

Lan Xin felt that it was a wise decision for her to hide all the money in the afternoon, but she felt a little regretful. Why didn't she take more money to deposit in the bank? If the money was in the bank, their trip would have been in vain.

But Lan Xin felt uneasy about going to the bank alone with so much money.

It’s better not to alert the enemy for now. Call Lan Qing and his brothers over to catch the thief at night!

Lan Xin nodded and said with a smile: "So that's how it is. It's getting late. Auntie, please go home quickly."

"Okay, okay." After saying that, the aunt walked quickly towards home as if her butt was on fire.

"Mom, mom." Yingying and Yueyue also came back at this time to look for food.

"Mom, grandma told us not to cook tonight and to eat together at grandma's house." Yueyue looked up and said to Lanxin.

I looked at my kitchen. It was dark, with no sign of fire or mist. It seemed that I hadn't cooked yet.

"Okay, let's go together." Lan Xin was just thinking about going over to look for Lan Qing and his brothers, so this was the perfect opportunity for her to come.

However, before going out, Lan Xin went back to the kitchen, took out a dustpan, poured out some of the ashes from the firewood burning in the stove, and then spread them evenly behind the courtyard gate and at the doors of several rooms.

These places were covered with a thick layer of wood ash.

Looking at the surprised eyes of her two daughters, Lan Xin put her fingers to her mouth and hushed.

"This is a secret, don't tell anyone."

The two children's eyes sparkled, and it was unknown what they were thinking of. They nodded vigorously and made promises quietly.

"Don't worry, mom. We won't tell."

"Okay, really cute."

Lan Xin put her things away, then took her two daughters out, closed the door quietly, and walked quickly towards Lao Lan's house.

As soon as they arrived at Lao Lan's house, Lan Xin pulled a few brothers together, stood in a corner and told them what had happened.

After saying this, Lan Xin sighed, "Although I have deposited all my money in the bank, it would be a waste of time for these thieves to come, but I am afraid that they will hurt me and my two children."

"These people are all from the same village. How dare they do such a thing? We must arrest them and put them in jail." Lan Qing said gritting his teeth.

"Don't worry, Lanxin. We won't sleep tonight and will go help you catch the thief." Second brother Lan Ze said, patting his chest.

"Yes, I promise to help you find this person and then drive them out of the village." said the third brother Lan He.

"Sister, I'll help you keep an eye on them. There's no one at home now, so they will definitely take action." Lan Xi thought for a moment and said, volunteering to go and keep watch.

Lan Xin thought for a moment and said, "It's still early now. No one knows we're out, so they probably won't take action at this time."

"We will guard over there tonight. If they dare to come, we will break their legs!" Lan Qing said viciously.

He is really looking for death. He dares to steal things from his own family.

You have to know that most of the people in their Lanjia Village have the same surname, are from the same family, and have the same ancestors.
