It's really hard to just farm peacefully.

The place Jiang Ying pointed to was the land that had just been drained. Under the midday sun, there were a few spots with faint gray-gold light.

It may seem inconspicuous at first glance, but it is obviously different from the colors of the surrounding land.

Out of curiosity, a few people walked towards the light to check.

Huh? Jiang Yan dug out several golden stones of various shapes from the dirt. The largest was the size of an egg, the smallest was no bigger than a peanut, and most were about the size of a grape.

These stones are basically covered by silt, with only a small part exposed on the surface. They may have been washed out from Qinshan by floods.

"What is this?" Jiang Ai was a little confused.

"Maybe it's gold?" Jiang Yan looked at the stone, which looked very similar to the gold mine gravel he had seen when watching overseas gold mining videos before.

Jiang Ai was surprised, "Yanyan, have you ever seen gold?!"

People usually use copper coins as the currency, small silver coins are rare, and gold has disappeared in Dongshan Village.

"Yeah, I went shopping in the county town with my parents before. I didn't pay attention and saw a gold ring in a jewelry store." Jiang Yan didn't lie. The original body really experienced this, but he didn't have the money to buy it and was quickly kicked out by the waiter.

"Wow, Jiang Yan, you're amazing!" Jiang Nian exclaimed. "The jewelry stores in our county are so aggressive, the owners and waiters are so fierce. I don't even dare to go in and take a look. A few years ago, my father saved up money to buy my mother a gold ring, and then I knew what gold looked like."

"It's a pity that my father was not at home, so my mother pawned it to buy medical treatment and medicine. Otherwise, I could have asked my mother to take a look at Sister Yingying and Xiao Ai as well." Jiang Nian said this with a depressed mood.

Jiang Yan also knew something about Aunt Yu Qian's illness. At that time, Uncle Jiang Fu was selling goods in the county and was conscripted by soldiers on the street. After hearing the news, Aunt Yu Qian fell seriously ill and it took a long time for her to recover.

Dongshan Village did not receive the news in time because of this incident and was caught off guard early the next morning.

Several people patted Jiang Nian's shoulders to comfort him.

Jiang Yan held the gold and stone in her hands and brought them close to Jiang Nian to encourage him. "Look at all this gold we found. We didn't have it before. Maybe God took pity on us and gave us compensation."

"Let's look for more, find a lot more, and then make a gold bracelet for your father when he comes back."

"I want one too!" "I want one too!" Jiang Ying and Jiang Ai couldn't help but get excited when they heard this.

Adhering to the concept of sharing happiness with everyone, Jiang Yan and her friends generously informed the village elders of this unexpected fortune.

The whole village took the gold and stone pieces and touched them again and again to get blessings. Grandma Sun Yun even bit the largest piece with her chipped teeth and almost broke her teeth.

For the next half month, everyone worked while carefully searching every piece of land in the village. They also went into the flood-flowing area of ​​Xiaoqing Mountain to search again, and finally collected enough gold sand for a bag.

Jiang Wang was so happy that he couldn't help but laugh. He thought that even if 70% of it was stone, if everyone shared the rest, each person would get 30 or 40 grams... There was hope for the reconstruction of Dongshan Village.

But soon, the joy disappeared and Dongshan Village fell into suspicion again.

One day during the lunch break, the village boys Jiang Hu, Jiang He, Jiang Ju, and Jiang Yuan were not satisfied with the gold sand and stones they had found only in Xiaoqing Mountain, so they secretly followed Hongdao into another mountain to search.

Who knew that in addition to some gold sand and stones, they also turned up several broken iron tools, hammer heads, chisels, the lower half of a shovel, and even a broken officer's sword...

They quickly hid the things in a backpack and returned to the village to secretly show Jiang Wang what was going on.

Jiang Wang: You ask me, who should I ask?

After scolding these reckless boys and sending them out to work, Jiang Wang thought for a while and had no idea what to do, so he went out to find Yu Qian to discuss the matter.
