In mid-autumn, Yunling and the other three planned to dig a cellar in Qian Li's backyard like the aunts in the village and use it together.
Why not dig behind Yunling and Chu Silan?
It's because Chu Silan's backyard is a medicinal field. In order to reasonably take out the things grown in the system, Yunling also planted some fruits and vegetables as a token, but she didn't take care of it properly. She bought a smart planter from the system mall and buried it in the middle, and everything was fine.
Fortunately, the fence in her backyard was high, otherwise someone would have seen an iron lump buried in the field, and it would have been stolen the next day. After all, steel is very valuable now.
They raised funds and hired idle farmers in the village to work with them, and it was completed within a week, and they also came with a few wooden boards for use as shelves.
Seeing that late autumn was approaching, Yunling quickly invited the two of them to pick vegetables from her field and put them in the cellar. She also exchanged a lot of winter vegetables with some families in the village, all of which were exchanged for the industrial tickets they wanted.
The three of them sat slumped in the cellar, feeling the cold air, wiping the sweat from their faces, and slowly exhaled.
"It's complete."
Qian Li didn't want to move now, but when she saw the wooden boards piled with Chinese cabbage, radishes, potatoes and other winter vegetables, she still felt endless satisfaction in her heart.
But she was really tired. She couldn't help but ask: "Why don't we just go to the farmers' houses to buy them during the winter?"
Yunling raised her head and answered her: "It is better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. If there is a snowstorm or something, we won't even be able to go out."
Chu Silan also thinks so, but she is more inclined to the price aspect, explaining to Qian Li: "It is very cheap for us to buy these vegetables now, because it is the harvest of vegetables, and people are eager to sell more to us. When winter comes, they will leave The dishes we order are basically for the family to use in the winter, and it will be much more expensive to buy them at that time.”
Qian Li finally understood, and once again felt lucky to have two thighs in her arms.
When she was storing vegetables, Brian mocked her a few times when she saw her, saying that after going to the countryside, she became more and more like those rural people. She even dug cellars to store vegetables, which gave off a sense of poverty.
If the Bai family hadn't been transferred from the Agricultural Bureau and joined the Revolutionary Committee, Brian would never have dared to talk to him like this before!
But think about it, let it go. Qian Li is more sensible now. Her left ear goes in and the right ear goes out. It is best not to cause trouble for her father, and stay as far away from the Revolutionary Committee group as possible.
She took a small wooden stick and poked it hard on the newly dug soil, cursing Brian in her heart for bad luck.
Unexpectedly, she seemed to hit something smooth and hard as she poked and poked. She thought it was a flat stone, but after digging a few more times, she discovered that there was a large mahogany box underneath.
Qian Li subconsciously covered her mouth, then quietly pulled Yunling and Chu Songlan, motioning them to look this way.
Yunling came closer, squinted her eyes, went to the corner to get a shovel, and started shoveling without saying a word, and Chu Songlan followed suit. After a while, the original appearance of the mahogany box was revealed in front of the three of them.
"I'm going to—" Chu Songlan couldn't hold back and said a curse word.
The box was relatively well preserved, but when Yunling pried it open with a shovel, the lock fell off.
The three of them worked together to open the heavy box lid, and a pile of papers and books sealed with oilcloth came into view. Yunling carefully opened an oilcloth and looked at it. They were frightened by the pile of symbols and words on it.
Qian Li stuttered and said, "This, this can't be what I thought."
Yunling checked it out, and found that there were Chinese, English, Japanese, and Russian characters in it, as well as some numerical symbols, which were so densely packed that she felt a little breathless.
Chu Songlan was also a little dazed and nodded blankly, "I just don't know if it is the military information left by our side or the enemy."
When Captain Zhao introduced the educated youth spot at that time, he said that it had been raided by the enemy and that our army cadres had been stationed here. However, they were not professionals, so they could not judge the year by identifying the wornness of the paper.
The three people squatted on the ground around the box, all silent and saying nothing.
In the end, it was Yunling who made the decision, "Let's bury it again and dig deeper. I'll get some candles later and seal the surface of the wooden box with wax."
She once read a book and said that some fragile cultural relics will become brittle and damaged the moment they see the light of day again. Although she does not know whether it is true or false, using wax seals to prevent air oxidation should not cause secondary damage to these papers.
She looked at Qian Li and asked seriously: "You discovered this thing, what do you want to do?"
Qian Li trembled and said, "I, I don't know... this must be handed over to the Public Security Bureau, right?"
Yunling asked again: "If we just hand it over to the county police station, what if the enemy's nails are buried in it?"
Enemy agents are everywhere, and it is difficult to say that there are none in the county. Yunling did have a safe way, but Qian Li discovered this thing, so her consent was required.
"I can't help it. My dad works for the Bureau of Agriculture and doesn't care about this!" Qian Li still has the temper of a child and looks for her dad when something goes wrong. But this time her dad has no way out.
Yunling had no choice but to say: "I have a solution, but you can listen to it."
"Speak quickly!" Qian Li was almost dying of panic.
Chu Songlan also nodded. She was silent now because she was simply shocked.
"My second uncle is the brigade commander of the Capital Central Force. He is absolutely trustworthy, and his level is high enough. Things that come into his hands can be sent directly to the top without having to go through other people."
Yunling paused and continued: "I can send him a message by writing a letter home, and ask him to send a trustworthy person to receive it. Moreover, he once taught me a very simple way to hide information. He made it up himself, and when I write to him he will know what I want to say at a glance."
The two listened and quickly agreed.
Qian Li was a little angry: "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Yunling touched her nose and whispered: "I'm afraid you're worried about me taking credit..."
Qian Li was furious: "How could you miss me so much!? Besides, if you two didn't insist on digging a cellar, I wouldn't have discovered this thing. The three of us will each have a share, so no one can steal it from the other!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that Yunling was extremely distrustful of her, and she gradually felt aggrieved. Although she hugged them as her thighs, she gradually regarded them as her good friends. Now that her friends are questioning her character, this is simply a great insult to her!
Even Chu Silan looked at Yun Ling with a serious face: "It is indeed excessive."
"..."
Yunling lowered her eyes. She knew it would be like this, but it was not unreasonable to ask for an extra guarantee.
In Yunling's opinion, Qian Li discovered this thing, and she should take the credit.
And she is not the kind of person who oversteps her authority. She is willing to leave more space and leeway when getting along with others. In fact, she takes the initiative to retreat to a position that she considers reasonable, not meddling in other people's business, and not letting others get closer.
This way of getting along with others was once scolded by her friend Qi Xiaoxiao, saying that she was cold-hearted, indifferent to others, and a stinking stone that couldn't cover up her warmth.
However, there is nothing wrong with this kind of character in Yunling's opinion. She is born with precocious wisdom, and her parents are both very busy doctors. When she was a child, her aunt at home took care of her when she was growing up, but at most she cooked and put her to sleep. There is no more.
Therefore, she has been alone since she was a child, and she does not feel lonely. Her favorite place is the big study room at home, where a small group of children sit there all day long.
In fact, she is quite good at socializing. She smiles at others when they meet and handles all interpersonal relationships in an orderly manner. As long as you have a richer expression on your face and a more enthusiastic attitude towards people, everything will be fine, but in fact, these "unimportant" people and things are rarely let go in your heart.
In this world, what she cares about most is her family and her patients.
She may set up a heart-warming relationship with a friend she has been with for more than a few months, but she may devote all her energy to a patient she has never met, which even she feels contradictory.
However, this is already the second person to express dissatisfaction with her behavior.
Yunling also doubted whether she should really change the way she got along with her friends?
Looking at Qian Li who was furious and Chu Songlan who looked dull, she suddenly felt a sense of guilt and guilt.
"I'm sorry, I thought too much." Yunling said silently.
Qian Li pouted, with an arrogant look on her face, and said reluctantly: "Then I will forgive you first this time!"
Chu Silan also patted Yunling's shoulder, saying that she didn't mind. She was more mature and could understand that Yunling's defensiveness was not malicious.
The three of them quickly finished the finishing work, and then Chu Songlan took out a new lock and locked the cellar.
Yunling, who felt a little guilty, invited them both to her house for dinner, "I'll treat you to a nice meal tonight, just think of it as an apology, okay?"
Qian Li still let out a somewhat unhappy "hum", and Chu Songlan stood next to her and nodded silently.
