Chapter 431 Collecting Treasures in the Cave
"Please keep your voice down, the loud noise will scare the baby awake." Song Jie looked at his wife who was whirring and said speechlessly.
"oh oh!"
When the couple mentioned Li Wen, the couple thought of the difficult years when they were still young. Just as the couple was sighing, there was a knock on the wooden door.ωωw..net
"Who is it? What's going on at this late hour?" Song Jie glanced at the clock on the cabinet. It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and answered the door in annoyance.
"Daughter-in-law, you are underground, go and open the door and see who it is." Song Jie quickly put away the porcelain vase in his hand and asked his wife to open the door.
"I know!"
"Ah! Who are you?" Song Jie's wife opened the door with a flashlight and saw the tall Li Wen, and asked doubtfully.
Li Wen knew that Song Jie's wife didn't know him, and he had only come here a handful of times before.
"I'm Li Wen, looking for Song Jie. Is he in the house?" Li Wen greeted with a smile.
"Ah! Are you Brother Wen?"
Song Jie's wife was so shocked that she didn't even bother to greet Li Wen and ran into the house.
"Dad, hurry up, there's a guy at the door who says his name is Li Wen, must it be Brother Wen?"
"Sa! Brother Wen is here?" When Song Jie heard this, he didn't bother to put on his socks and ran out with his cotton shoes.
"Brother Wen, are you back?" Although the night was dark, Song Jie still recognized Li Wen with the faint flashlight light.
"Xiao Song, long time no see!"
Li Wenwen originally wanted to touch his head, but his hand went out and finally fell on his shoulder, patting him twice.
"Brother Wen, come in quickly and sit inside. The wind is blowing outside and it's very cold." Song Jie quickly grabbed Li Wen's arm and walked inside.
Because Song Jie was already married, Li Wen naturally couldn't come empty-handed. He just took out a lot of gifts from the space. He handed the gifts to Song Jie's wife, and the two people who hadn't seen each other for a long time walked in while laughing and talking.
Room.
There was obviously no electricity in Song Jie's house, and the oil lamp was a little dim after entering. Song Jie's wife quickly lit another candle, and the house became much brighter.
Li Wen entered the house and first looked at the layout. The furniture in the room was quite complete, and there was a radio on the cabinet, which was pretty good.
In fact, this is normal. When Li Wen left, he gave Song Jie 2,000 yuan as wages. Even if Song Jie had six or seven younger brothers, the money was enough.
After visiting the house, Li Wen took a look at the child sleeping soundly on the kang. The little kid was pink and chubby and very cute. It seemed that the couple had taken good care of the child.
"Xiao Song, is this your child?" Li Wen touched the child's face and asked with a smile.
"Yes, Brother Wen, the little guy's name is Song Hongbing. He is two and a half years old this year and he is very naughty." Song Jie spoke of the child with a doting look on his face.
"It's a good idea to name your child. It's better for boys to be naughty, otherwise they'll be easily bullied.
This is the first time that I, an uncle, have met the child, so I stopped waking the child and stuffed the child with a big red envelope, hoping that he would grow up healthily." After Li Wen finished speaking, he took out a big solidarity note from his pocket and stuffed it into the child's arms.
It is regarded as lucky money during the Chinese New Year.
"Brother, I can't do it, I can't do it, just give me one or two cents, it's too much." Song Jie's wife quickly refused.
"We are not outsiders, so don't refuse. This money is for the child. It is my blessing to the child, not for you." Although Li Wen smiled, his tone of voice gave the couple a feeling that they could not refuse.
"Fangfang, forget it. Just give it to the Red Soldiers. You are right. They are not outsiders." Song Jie waved to his wife and said.
After a brief chat, Li Wen took out photos of Song Xiaohua and Yaoyao from his pocket without waiting for Song Jie to ask.
"Xiao Song, these are photos taken by Xiaohua and Yaoyao on Xiang Island. It's not convenient for me to bring them back this time, so the two little girls had to ask me to bring the photos back to you.
Look, the two yellow-haired girls have now grown into big girls. They are very beautiful. They are now in Fu High School." Li Wen introduced Song Xiaohua and Song Jie to Song Jie with a smile.
"Hey! Xiaohua and Yaoyao are unrecognizable now. They are so beautiful." Song Jie's wife looked at Song Xiaohua's photo with envy and said with a smile.
"Okay, okay, little flower has grown up." Song Jie was so excited that he choked up while holding the photo of his sister.
Song Jie and his sister grew up together. It is not an exaggeration to say that they depend on each other for life. The relationship between brother and sister is very deep.
When Li Wen took his sister away, Song Jie was very reluctant to leave, but he also understood that Li Wen had to be on guard when he handed tens of thousands of dollars to him. In addition, he also trusted Li Wen, the elder brother, and hoped that Li Wen would take his sister out.
In order to live a better life, I agreed. Now it seems that my original choice was not wrong.
"Brother Wen, thank you, thank you for your kindness to us brothers and sisters." Song Jie took his wife and knelt down and kowtowed to Li Wen.
Li Wen did not refuse, looked at the young couple with a smile, and accepted Song Jie's thanks calmly.
"Okay Xiao Song, when I saw you fighting bravely to protect your sister on the street, I was very moved.
Later, the old lady entrusted me to take good care of you two, and I did my best.
Now that you and Xiaohua have grown up, and you are married and have children, I believe the old lady will be very happy in Heaven.
Of course, I can be considered as fulfilling the old man's entrustment." Li Wen said with emotion as he helped Song Jie up.
After reminiscing about old times, it was naturally time to get down to business.
When Li Wen left, he gave Song Jie 20,000 yuan to collect his things. After all these years, and with the confiscation of his house in the past few years, he probably has a lot of good things.
Song Jie took the initiative to start the introduction without Li Wen asking. After that, the two of them walked to the cave where Li Wen stored food with flashlights.
In less than an hour, the two arrived at their destination.
This cave was made by Li Wen. The entrance of the cave is not big, with a width of more than one meter, but there is indeed a cave inside. There are three or four large caves within small caves, and the area is three to four hundred square meters.
Song Jie struggled to move the hundreds of kilograms of large rocks at the entrance of the cave, and the two of them got in.
"Liu Zi, Shuan Niu, have you slept?" Song Jie walked in and called to the entrance of a small cave dwelling.
"Brother, I'm asleep, why are you here now?" After a while, two voices came from the dark cave, and then a flashlight was turned on.
"Brother Wen is back, I'll take him here to see things." Song Jie asked the two of them to greet Li Wen quickly.
They were both eighteen or nineteen years old. When they saw Li Wen, they were a little scared and shouted twice in a low voice.
Li Wen responded and looked at the two young men on duty. He felt a sense of emotion in his heart. It was really hard for these kids to get a bite to eat.
"Thank you for your hard work. Let your brother Song reward you. Work hard and try to get Xiao Song to marry you a wife in a year or two." Li Wen patted the shoulders of the two of them.
"Hey! Got it, Brother Wen."
Li Wen took a flashlight and walked around the cave. He was surprised and very satisfied at the same time.
I don’t know how these guys organized it, but there were actually five large wooden shelves neatly placed in the cave. All the items were basically placed on the wooden shelves, very neatly.
Li Wen opened four or five boxes at random and took a look. The things inside were all very good. Although there were many fakes, there were far more genuine ones than fake ones. It seemed that Song Jie had really worked hard.
"Brother, this place only stores calligraphy and paintings, porcelain, jade and some miscellaneous items, which are not valuable. There are four to five thousand silver coins and more than two hundred small and large yellow croakers buried in my backyard. Those are good things." Song Jie looked at it.
Li Wen's expression showed no emotion or anger, and he reported in a low voice.
"Xiao Song, these things are good. I'm afraid the money I gave you is not enough, right? Where did you get these from?" Li Wen also knew that antiques are cheap in this era, but gold and silver are still family heirlooms and gold is precious.
.
"Brother, many people's homes have been confiscated in recent years. They were so frightened that they hurriedly disposed of their inventory. The price was only one-fifth of what it was when you were there. My brothers and I got a bargain.
In the past few years, we have swept goods not only in our county, but also in counties and cities with a radius of dozens of miles. Many of the good things here are collected from the city. Now I still have more than 4,000 yuan in my hand.
No flowers!" Song Jie said with a smile.
"Xiao Song, you did a good job. Let the two brothers go back tonight! I will have a car to pick you up later. You go back and dig out the gold and silver coins. I will come and take them away together." Li Wen looked at it in a dress.
The watch warned.
"OK!"
Song Jie did not question Li Wen's words, because it had been like this before. Every time Li Wen delivered goods, he would send them away. Song Jie guessed that Li Wen should have another group of men to help with transportation, but this was not his responsibility.
Asked, he never asked.
After Song Jie and others left, Li Wen returned to the small world and prepared some supplies. Later, when collecting toys, Li Wen had to transfer some food and bacon from the small world. These were hard currencies in the country, so money was the most important thing.
Guessing that time was almost up, Li Wen released his mental power to sense the surroundings of the cave. After confirming that it was safe, Li Wen directly put all the toys that had been removed from the shelves into the space warehouse.
"Whoa!"
With Li Wen's wave, thousands of kilograms of bacon, four to five thousand kilograms of corn cobs and unground wheat were piled into sacks in the cave.
After collecting his things and staying in the small world for more than an hour, Li Wen rode a bicycle to the door of Song Jie's house.
"Brother, is it going to be over so soon?"
"With four people working, your cave only has more than thirty boxes, and they can be moved in a few or two times. By the way, Xiao Song, I have put some meat and grain in the cave for you. You can watch the shipment slowly and try your best.
The greatest benefit." Li Wen reminded.
"I know, brother, I'll go over and watch in person later." Song Jie nodded happily.
"Xiao Song, it's still 20,000 yuan. You continue to receive the goods, but less gold and silver coins. I like antiques. I won't stay any longer. We will see you in a few years." Before Song Jie could persuade him to stay, Li Wen had already left.
