Quick Wear: Men Farming and Women Weaving

Yi Zhonghai understood a little bit and seeing that He Yuzhu had no objection, he agreed on his behalf.

The canteen director took He Yuzhu to complete the on-the-job training, gave him a work uniform, and brought him to the kitchen of canteen No. 3.

Seeing that there was nothing left for him to do and that it was getting late, Yi Zhonghai hurried to the workshop to work.

After a few days, He Yuzhu started to get used to cutting and preparing food in the kitchen and helping to prepare the big pot dishes.

Siheyuan No. 95 Luoguxiang

"Matchmaker Wang, I'll leave it to you this time."

"You must stop being so picky, or you won't be able to find a daughter-in-law."

“Okay okay”

After Zhang saw off matchmaker Wang at the door, she kept cursing, saying how good her son Jia Dongxu was and how he came from a working-class family, and how those people were blind and looked down on her, Dongxu.

The aunties in the yard were chatting in low voices, saying that the old woman from the Jia family refused to cook a meal for his son's blind date, and the girl refused after seeing the state of the family.

"I've been on blind dates several times, but it hasn't worked out yet."

"Will it succeed this time?"

“I think it’s hanging in the balance.”

"You are too out of date," said an old lady who lived in the middle courtyard. She overheard what Zhang said.

"Zhang probably asked a matchmaker to find a girl from the countryside," the aunt proudly explained the reason among the women.

Aunt Yi carried her son to the front yard to play with Yan Bugui's little daughter and listen to their experiences in raising children.

Some little boys were playing games and making a lot of noise.

Yi Yongkang is the same age as Yan Jiedi. In the yard, the little girl was jumping and skipping, pulling Yi Yongkang around.

Listening to the gossip coming from the side, I knew that Qin Huairu would be coming in a while.

"Sister, have some candy." Yi Yongkang took out a candy from his pocket and gave it to Yan Jiedi.

"Give it to me, I want to eat it." Yan Jiekuang saw his sister holding candy not far away and ran over to ask for it.

"No, this is mine. Xiaobao gave it to me."

Yan Jie Di rarely eats candy at home. The last time she ate candy was when the adults in the yard gave it to her during the Chinese New Year.

Yi Yongkang didn't care, gave him another candy, and sent Yan Jiekuang away.

When Aunt Yan saw this scene, she apologized to Aunt Yi.

"It's okay, Xiaobao is willing to give it." Aunt Yi was very happy with her son's performance. Her son's behavior showed that he had a generous personality and was not a petty person.

"When these children are old enough to go to school, they can go to school together and take care of each other."

"That's for sure. I'll ask Old Yan to take good care of Xiaobao at school."

Aunt Yan knew that Yi Zhonghai had a high salary and was not short of food and drink, so she thought that if he could take better care of Xiaobao at school, the couple would definitely express their gratitude.

Aunt Yi also thought that Yi Yongkang would go to school in the future, and it would be easier to take care of him if he had acquaintances at school, so she smiled at Aunt Yan to express her gratitude.

Yi Yongkang took Yan Jiedi to a big tree not far away and used wooden sticks to dig a hole under the roots of the tree.

The child’s hands were very weak, and he poked the hole in the tree root, very curious about what was inside.

Yan Jiedi was very curious and poked the tree roots with a stick. After poking several times, she suddenly hit something.

The sound of metal colliding came.

Yi Yongkang was also very surprised when he heard the sound, there was actually something inside.

He guessed what private money the previous owner or servants of the courtyard had hidden.

"Sister, I'm here"

He took the wooden stick from the little girl and walked to the roots of the tree. He separated a bit of mental power from his mind and drilled into the roots of the tree to investigate the situation inside.

Through his mental exploration, he discovered that the small hole was filled with dead leaves and some corroded gray cloth. Judging from the degree of decay, it had been there for many years.

There were some gold ingots scattered around, as well as three gold bracelets, and gold melon seeds in the mud.

The front yard is where the male masters or servants live. I guess one of the servants secretly hid his private room here.

Yi Yongkang fiddled with it for a while, and the wooden stick couldn't reach the gold, so he used his mental power to control the direction of the gold ingot and pushed it to the cave entrance.

The remaining gold was piled up in the small hole as before.

"Sister, don't tell anyone what you'll see later."

"Oh, I know, it's a secret." Yan Jiedi raised her head proudly. Her brothers often played secretly or hid things behind adults' backs.

The adults at the door did not notice what the two children were doing under the tree and were still happily chatting about gossip in the yard.

Aunt Yi watched the child playing in the dirt without paying any attention and continued to listen to Aunt Yan share her experience in raising children.

Yi Yongkang threw away the wooden stick, stretched out his little arm at the entrance of the cave, and groped inside. After a while, he touched a gold ingot. He took it out carefully, holding the gold ingot covered with mud in his hand.

Yan Jiedi looked at the golden thing in front of her with great curiosity, not knowing why it attracted her attention.

Yi Yongkang took out a lot of things in succession, including a lot of golden melon seeds, and stopped when there were no more.

Looking at the gold on the ground, I felt a headache and didn't know what to do.

The next moment, he put all those things into the pocket of his clothes and pulled Yan Jiedi beside him to run towards her home.

Aunt Yi watched her son suddenly take the little girl's hand and go to Yan Bugui's house, and she wanted to go find her son with some concern.

"Aunt Yi, it's okay, children like to run and jump." Aunt Yan understood very well that the Yi couple had a son when they were middle-aged, so she usually kept a close eye on the child.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh at me. I only have this one son now, and I'm afraid something might happen to him," Aunt Yi explained to Aunt Yan apologetically.

Seeing that her mind was on her son, Aunt Yan didn't want to stay any longer and took her back home.

"One for you and one for me"

"Xiaobao, there's one more here"

Yan Jiedi spoke to Yi Yongkang while holding a big gold bracelet in her hand.

"I don't want it, I'll give it to you." Yi Yongkang looked at the gold bracelet and asked her to keep it without caring.

Yan Jiedi happily placed it on the small pile of gold in front of her.

There was also a small pile of gold in front of Yi Yongkang, on which there was also a gold bracelet and some gold melon seeds.

The two aunts walked into the door and were stunned by the golden light shining in front of the children in the living room.

"Sister, do you think I'm blind?" Aunt Yi looked at Aunt Yan in disbelief.

"Sister Yi, pinch me." Aunt Yan looked at the gold in front of her daughter and felt that she was not conscious.

"Let's quickly ask the children where these came from."

"Yes, yes, we need to ask quickly."

The two of them looked towards the door nervously, afraid that someone was peeking at them.

"Xiaobao, where did you get these?" Aunt Yi saw that her son was dirty and covered in mud.

"Mom, we dug it out from under the roots of a big tree." Yi Yongkang did not hide it and told them directly.

"Yes, we dug it up while we were playing games over there." Yan Jiedi hugged the bracelet tightly in her arms.

Aunt Yi and Aunt Yan looked at each other in surprise. They had no idea that there was gold under the roots of the tree. They had lived here for so many years and had never discovered it.

"This was probably left behind by a high-ranking official in the past." Aunt Yi knew a little bit that this courtyard house used to be a villa for officials, and it was common to see gold there.

The adults discussed it and decided to wait until the man in the family came back before making any plans.
