Croya entered the courtyard and Zhu Shoushan said:
"Xiaoyu, go pick some grapes and pour water for the guests."
Zhu Yu introduced to Croya:
"This is my grandpa."
"Grandpa...Hello!" Croya actually greeted Zhu Shoushan in Chinese.
"Eh? This foreigner girl can also speak Chinese?" Zhu Shoushan asked curiously, and then said to Croya:
"Hello, little girl."
Croya could only say this, and then replied "Hello", and didn't know what to say anymore.
"Not bad, not bad." Zhu Shoushan said with a smile,
"The little girl is very polite. Okay, Xiaoyu, let's talk."
Zhu Shoushan went to work in the vegetable field. Zhu Yu and Croya sat under the grape trellis and started chatting.
Zhu Yu picked two bunches of grapes, washed them, gave one to Croya, and then gave another bunch to the female bodyguard guarding outside.
Croya said while eating grapes:
"You don't have to be so polite to Raya. As a bodyguard, she has her own professional rules."
Zhu Yu shook his head and said:
"If it's in your country, then you can say whatever you want. When you come to our place, everyone who comes is a guest, and you can't wait patiently. By the way, where have you been?"
"The Great Wall, the Terracotta Warriors, the Forbidden City... I've been to many places!" Croya looked proud. "The historical monuments in your country are really amazing. They are completely different from those in Europe... It's just your hometown. There doesn’t seem to be that much stuff here… right,”
Croya took out his phone and flipped through it and said:
"I heard from people at the Terracotta Warriors and Horses that there are all kinds of tombs and ruins underground in that place. If you dig casually, you can find all kinds of treasures. Zhu, why don't you look for treasures underground here? It's because your hometown is here There's none?"
Zhu Yu shook his head and said:
"No, the laws of our country stipulate that unless it is clearly proved that it was buried by one's ancestors, everything excavated from the ground belongs to the state. In fact, our new province also has many underground treasures and relics, but these things are not Just digging randomly."
"But I haven't heard of anything..." Croya spoke frankly.
Zhu Yu turned around and asked Zhu Shoushan in the vegetable field:
"Grandpa, I remember you said that when you were young, you dug a money barn when you were plowing the fields?"
"Yes." Zhu Shoushan put down the water pipe for watering vegetables and asked with some confusion, "Why do you ask this?"
"She said there was nothing underground in our new province, so I said there must be something."
"You can't dig it if you have it. The country has regulations..." Zhu Shoushan thought that his grandson was trying to dig things underground, so he said with a straight face, "We didn't have laws at that time, but now we have them, and we don't allow digging."
"Then I must know, I just told her, I told her that there is..."
"Not only some, but many!" Zhu Shoushan knew that Zhu Yu would not dig, so the conversation started:
"Not only was there a money warehouse at that time, we also had a big landowner here. His family owned thousands of acres of land at that time, and the family was very rich.
Later, there was a bandit riot in Wusman. The family was afraid of being robbed, so they took what was easy to carry and dug a big hole to bury the rest. Then they used oxen to plow the place where the things were buried that night, and sprinkled the seeds overnight. He went to seek refuge with his relatives.
He never came back later - no one has dug up the things he buried at that time! "
This was the first time Zhu Yu heard his grandfather say this. He asked curiously:
"No one in our village digs it, and no one knows about it?"
"Hey, Lao Mahao, who I knew at the time, told me about it. There were no advanced instruments at that time, and the land was all plowed. How could you find something so big? No one knew about it later..."
Zhu Yu thought to himself that if he used a metal detector to explore the field now, he would definitely be able to find it.
However, he didn't have this intention. His own country did not allow digging. Even if something was dug up, it would be difficult to find its owner.
However, as soon as he told Croya about this matter, Croya became interested and asked Zhu Yu's specific location repeatedly. Zhu Yu waved his hand:
"This cannot be said. The original village has changed its location, and it is difficult to find it now."
Croya had no choice but to ask about the money warehouse.
"The money warehouse is actually easy to understand, it is a warehouse or cellar where money is kept. When my grandfather was young, he plowed the land for the village collective in the village. At night, he heard the rustling sound of the plowshare plowing through an area.
At that time, I thought there was sand in that area and didn't pay attention. When I was about to go home after my shift at dawn, I found a large area of copper coins plowed out, which amounted to more than ten tons.
However, due to poor preservation, many of them were rusted into dust and shattered when dropped. They picked them up at that time, and put the ones that were still rusty into sacks.
There were more than a dozen sacks that held 100 kilograms of wheat. Later, they were all sent to the county's scrap collection station, and the money was sold in exchange for a cow, which fed the whole village. "
"Did you later find out where the money cellar was?" Croya asked curiously, "Did it belong to the landowner mentioned earlier?"
"No, no. Later, I asked the old people in the village and they said that it was a temple, and the money should be kept in the temple. Later, the temple was bulldozed, and the monk ran away from the gangsters. No one knew there was anything in there."
Croya was very fascinated when he heard:
"I never thought there was such a thing in your place..."
"Actually, I can take you around now. We still have a dilapidated city here, which can be considered a historic site."
Pochengzi is a historic site in Zhu Yu's hometown. It is said that it was an ancient city during the Qing Dynasty. It was later abandoned for unknown reasons.
When Zhu Yu was young, he went there to pick up coins, daggers and other things.
When he heard that there were traces of the ancient city, Croya was very happy and followed Zhu Yu.
The location was only three to five kilometers away from Zhu Yu's home, so they walked there. When they arrived, both Zhu Yu and Croya were a little disappointed——
It turned out that this was a circle of abandoned houses piled high.
Zhu Yu has not been here in these years, and now he finds that many old collapsed houses have been destroyed by nearby people who took away the soil.
However, Zhu Yu had eyes from the sky, and within a few steps of walking in, he found copper coins buried under the soil. He found a branch, turned over it, and dug it out.
"There is really something!" Croya used to hunt for treasures with instruments and it was work. Now this adventure-style and relaxed feeling made her a little happy.
The two of them wandered around the dilapidated city for more than an hour. They had more than a dozen copper coins and a rusty copper lock in their hands. They felt that they had gained a lot.
After returning home, Croya said goodbye with some reluctance, saying he would come back tomorrow.
Croya stayed here for three days before and after, and then left with satisfaction.
After she left, Zhu Yu told his family that she was the princess of Su Weidian.
"She's still a princess, not bad." Zhu Shoushan said with a smile while sitting under the grape trellis, smoking, "You can't tell, you can't tell. But this Chinese needs to be improved, Xiaoyu, you have to urge her to learn Chinese well."
Zhu Yu didn't know where his grandfather's brain had gone, so he had no choice but to accept Hu's agreement.
At this time, his brother Zhu Fei drove back and took off the gas tank.
Zhu Yu's family uses gas for cooking in summer, which is relatively common in the village.
Zhu Yu suddenly asked his father Zhu Dahe:
"Dad, you said I would pay to connect natural gas pipes to every village in our township, is that okay?"
"Okay, why not?" Zhu Dahe said, "Actually, the township had this plan before, but it just required more money, so it was dropped. If you want to do this now, the township will give its approval."
"Okay, I've made money, and I'm willing to spend it."
New Province itself has natural gas wells, and there are several natural gas pipelines from abroad, so there is no shortage of natural gas.
Moreover, it was much cheaper and more convenient than gas for household use. Zhu Yu first looked for the village and then the countryside, and decided on this matter.
In fact, the money is not that much, mainly the pipe fees and construction money. As long as the money is available, this project will be very easy and smooth to implement.
The natural gas pipeline reaches the entrance of the village and the door of each house. If the family agrees to take over the pipe, then each family needs to dig out the pipeline themselves for the remaining section.
If it doesn't need to be connected, just connect a valve and go past this point.
"The last statistics in the township say that almost half of the households want ventilation." Zhu Dahe said, "Almost all of our villages need ventilation.
Everyone is not stupid. We use about one tank of gas a month, and now one tank costs almost 100 yuan. Natural gas in the city only costs less than half of the cost per month. Anyone can figure this out. "
Zhu Yu smiled and said nothing.
It’s normal to do some good deeds when you have money. In fact, he also knew that some people complained privately that since he had done it, why didn't he get through the last part.
Zhu Yu did this on purpose - if he does his best in everything, he will still be scolded - Brother Qiangdong built a villa for the whole village, wouldn't it be scolded by others?
You are willing to pay for it yourself, but if the person who gets the benefit is unwilling to part with it at all, then even if you take advantage of it, some selfish people will not know how to be grateful.
He did this without asking for anything in return, but at least he didn't want to be called a fool.
Of course, there are still many people who are grateful. These days, there are a lot more people in the village delivering vegetables and fruits to their homes, and they can’t finish them or push them away. Everyone says it’s just a little bit of gratitude - your Zhu family has done such a great thing, Let’s just express it by ordering some dishes, it’s nothing.
Both Zhu Shoushan and Zhu Dahe are smiling when they go out these days.
Not to mention anything else, just the compliments from people in the village and country for the Zhu family's good deeds can make the Zhu family happy.
Old-school people want to save face, and sometimes even if they give up some benefits, they still want to save face.
Although Zhu Yu left some money for Zhu Dahe before, he asked him to discuss with the township and village to do something good.
It's just that Zhu Dahe has his son's money after all, so he can't do anything freely.
Now that his son has personally decided to do something that is in line with his ideas, he will naturally be happy when everyone praises it.
Every village has one or several information distribution centers, where most of the villagers gather during slack seasons. These days, the discussions in the village are all about whether the air is ventilated into the home, whether the meter is installed, how much money the Zhu family spent, and so on.
Then Lian Zhu Yu found a foreign girl and it became news.
"I heard that the foreign girl is quite distinguished." Someone gossiped.
"Who said that?" someone asked immediately.
"Old Zhu, Zhu Yu's grandfather, said that girl was some European princess..."
"No way? Did the princess take the initiative to chase you here? Then Xiaoyu from the Zhu family is really capable!"
So the gossip changed its flavor.
It kind of means that Zhu Yu is bringing glory to the country - these years, we are used to hearing about Chinese girls marrying foreigners, and some people are still proud of it.
Now Xiaoyu of the Zhu family has actually coaxed a foreign princess to come to him. This is really amazing.
Parents returning home will inevitably look at their children going to school and say, "In the future, I will be like brother Xiaoyu from the Zhu family and earn some face for my parents when I come back."
Zhu Yu didn't know much about these things. After he settled the natural gas issue, he hired two odd jobs from the county to dig out the natural gas pipeline from the door to the kitchen, and waited for the main pipe to be installed and connected.
These days, Zhu Yu also knows that people in the village are discussing the installation of natural gas into their homes as if they were discussing the upcoming festival.
If you really want to do the math, it’s not a big deal, just saving dozens of dollars a month.
But for rural people, this kind of thing brings them closer to urban people, and it is worth discussing and celebrating.
The village party secretary even went to the Zhu family and said that if there had been such a big event in the village in the past, the movie theater would have been invited to show movies for three days.
Although life is getting better now, things like showing movies are no longer possible.
"What's the point?" Zhu Shoushan said, "Then just go to Shicheng and invite the troupe to sing for a day, right?"
The village party secretary is Zhu Shoushan's junior - the age difference between the two is only fifteen years, but they are two generations. When Zhu Shoushan said this, the village party secretary's eyes lit up:
"This... can be done!"
Once Zhu Yu did this, he and the village party secretary also gained face in the village. In fact, it was not that it had never happened, but it was relatively rare.
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it with the village committee members." The village party secretary hurriedly left again.
After all, Zhu Yu couldn't wait for the troupe invited by the village to perform, so he left in a hurry.
In fact, he also wants to stay at home for half a year. Such a life is so comfortable.
Unfortunately, sometimes, you really can’t help yourself.
When Zhu Yu arrived in Dihua, he called Ran Jie.
"Ran Jie, what are you doing?"
Zhu Yu did not directly state that something was wrong, but asked first.
Then he heard a female voice on the other side asking:
"Who's calling?"
Ran Jie said loudly:
"Boss, you are eating, what's the matter?"
"It's okay. The blind date was successful, right?" Zhu Yu said with a smile, "Then cherish it, I have nothing to do here, I don't care about your life events!"
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Yu called Qin Fei and Cao Dalong again when he rushed to Sheng Hai.
Qin Fei was fine and rushed to Shenghai. The relationship between Cao Dalong and his family had eased a bit, so Zhu Yu didn't call him.
After arriving in Shenghai, they bought plane tickets. While Zhu Yu and Qin Fei were waiting for the flight, they said:
"After this matter is settled, we will have to buy a plane. When it comes to an emergency, it will be troublesome not being able to take off at any time."
Qin Fei smiled, looked at his phone, and said nothing.
After getting on the plane and sitting down, just as the plane was about to take off, Zhu Yu was surprised to find that Ran Jie and Cao Dalong appeared at the door of the cabin.
Sitting next to Zhu Yu, Ran Jie let out a sigh of relief:
"I finally caught up - Boss, you can't do this. If you don't call us when something happens, you don't want us to get rich with you!"
Zhu Yu was really surprised and a little touched.
If something happens, they are really here!
