Chapter 41 60
In an extremely quiet environment where everyone held their breath, Xiao Liao retreated to the side of Director Ma after repeated attempts several times.
"Director, I can't open it. The mechanism is extremely delicate."
Zhaojun didn't expect that there would be such a thing, maybe the person who got the treasure box in his memory has never heard the news, and it was also because of this treasure box.
The more delicate and complicated the mechanism, the harder it is to open it. If you don't find someone who can pick the lock, you may not be able to open it for a lifetime.
Zhaojun didn't speak, and kept nestling in the corner.
"Understood, you rest for a while. I'll make a call and find someone to unlock it." The harder the treasure chest to open, the more precious and rare treasures are hidden.
Director Ma made a phone call at the neighborhood committee, and then sat down calmly.
Since he was fine for the time being, Director Tao waved to Zhaojun who was sitting in the corner, "Junjun, come here."
"Ah."
Zhaojun walked over and stood beside Director Tao, and saw Director Tao stretching out his hand to hold her, and asked with a smile, "Old Ma, who do you think this child looks like?"
Director Ma heard an old comrade call: Junjun.He immediately thought of it, he knew it clearly, and he didn't tease his old comrade-in-arms, he had a well-thought-out plan, "Like Lao Dou.
Lao Dou didn't pay attention to when it arrived, and he didn't go to my place for a while. "
After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhaojun kindly, "Son, I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about your second uncle. This person is not particular. In the future, if something happens, I will go to the office to find Uncle Ma, and I will go to Uncle Ma's house to play when I have time to rest. "
"Well, Uncle Ma, go if you have the chance."
Zhaojun nodded obediently. The two elders in front of her came from the battlefield. They also fought with the enemy. Facing such people, she respected and respected them more.
"Okay, when your second uncle comes to rest next time, you give him a word and ask him to find me."
Director Ma didn't see any difference because of Dou Changzheng's current status in the army.In his heart, no matter how high the position of Dou Changzheng is, he is still his comrade in arms.Or, even if Dou Changzheng returns to his hometown to farm, he is still his comrade in arms, and he will not change his attitude towards getting along because of his different status.
"Okay, I will tell the second uncle." The people present also understood that the relationship between the second uncle of the skinny girl and Director Tao and Director Ma is comrade-in-arms.
The camaraderie of these years is especially iron.
Several people looked at the yellow-haired girl with different eyes. It seemed that she had some background.
Soon, a sharp sound of brakes was also heard inside the house.
Then there was the "bang" sound of the car door being slammed shut, and the footsteps of the three of them, calm, fast, and powerful.
Zhaojun sat on the side obediently and didn't say a word. The person who came here knew Director Ma, and he was quite familiar with him.Although he was wearing casual clothes, the evil spirit and fierce aura all over his body shocked the two young police officers.
"Old Ma, is it the box on the table?" the visitor asked as soon as he entered the door.
The person who asked the question was about 1.8 meters tall, with a crew cut, piercing eyes, and a generous face.
"Yes, that's the box. Our Xiao Liao has good skills, but he still can't open it after several attempts."
People from the neighborhood committee, except Director Tao, were all kicked out.
As the discoverer, Zhaojun, and because Director Ma whispered a few words to the most powerful person among the people who came, that person put away all his intimidating power, nodded and smiled at Zhaojun, and the expression on his face changed. Much softer.
Zhaojun didn't speak, and didn't know what to say to this man.
The imposing old Wu held the box, looked up, down, left, and right, and listened to the lock with his ear, and finally tried it once.
After figuring out what the lock was, he said, "Old Ma, it's a good thing you didn't continue to try. If you try again, you can only pry open the box. If you pry open, the contents inside will be destroyed."
Old Wu fiddled carefully, fiddled back and forth repeatedly.Old Wu, who has always been calm, was sweating anxiously, and he was sweating all over in late autumn.
After an hour of dialing and dialing, "click", the extremely difficult lock was opened.
Several people surrounded him, only Zhaojun sat in the corner, looking at the gloomy sky outside.
Before you know it, the day is almost over.
Zhaojun, Director Tao, and Director Ma didn't have lunch and waited hungry.
"Oh my god!" Even if money is like dung, as long as it is a woman, it will be moved, even if it does not want to keep the diamond for itself, it will be moved for a short time.
A hint of surprise flashed in Old Wu's eyes, such a big diamond must be worth a lot.
If you take it abroad to auction, you will definitely be able to buy it at a good price and get a sum of foreign exchange.
The country is in urgent need of foreign exchange, so Lao Wu picked up a few lonely books and looked through them, but there was nothing else.The small box containing personal belongings can be opened, and there are letters, land deeds, withdrawal certificates stored in foreign banks, certificates of foreign bank safes, specific amounts, and letters written by the person who hid things to his children and grandchildren.
Old Wu watched, breathing heavily, and glanced at the people around him, as well as Dou Zhaojun in the corner, a lucky girl.
Zhaojun was happy with her decision at this time. Fortunately, she had planned to get the first chance to hand over to the country.
If it was really in her hands, I couldn't open it myself, so asking Dou Changzheng to help find someone to open it was also my life.
Dou Changzheng would definitely ask questions, where did the things come from, obviously it didn't belong to the Dou family.What kind of family heirloom, impossible, the ancestors of the Dou family were dignified, but hundreds of years have passed.
Obviously not that diamond.Can't hide it before and after opening the box.
"Lao Ma, let's report together. Your decision just now was right, it's dangerous."
Old Wu thought that it was fortunate that the old horse didn't let the old horse carry the box to find them, or something happened on the way, and the old horse couldn't carry it.He can't hold back as a decision maker.
That sum of wealth is too great to solve the urgent needs of a part of the country.
The one who contributed the most today is the little girl who sat quietly in the corner.
The hungry and dizzy Zhaojun quickly stuffed two meat buns regardless of his image.With two big meat buns in his belly, Zhaojun slowed down his eating speed.
At home, after boiling water, washing face, brushing teeth and washing feet, I fell asleep on the kang.
On the third day, I slept until I woke up naturally.
She didn't know that the night before, after she found out that the box had been taken away, she was quickly sent to several big leaders.
After looking at the big diamond, the original copy, the bank deposit certificate, and the safe deposit certificate, the big leader quickly gave instructions.
Especially the big boss, after knowing that the little girl who discovered the treasure is a fellow villager, he laughed heartily.
The following people promptly submitted background checks on the little girl's wealth, innocent family, poor people, and descendants of heroes and soldiers.The discovery of the box was purely accidental, that is, whether Zhaojun had brought a box when he left the gate of the courtyard, he checked clearly.
The big boss asked the secretary to look up the compensation given by the state after the founding of the People's Republic of China after the treasure was handed in, which varies from place to place.
To sum it up, give instructions: reward the little girl with 8000 yuan and [-] foreign exchange certificates, as well as some grain, oil and cloth industrial tickets, and reward the little girl with the house where the box is found.The big leaders don't believe that the house is a ghost house, they don't believe this.
Years later, someone specially assigned to restore the house.There is also a job to transfer her to work at the Women's Federation. She will work for more than half a year first, and will start studying with pay in September next year. (At this time, there is another way to go to university without taking the exam: recommending to go to university)
Rent out, live in, whatever.
It seems like a lot, but compared with the contribution made by the little girl, it is really not much.
The big boss is really not partial. He has a basis. Last year, a little girl in the countryside and her brother, aged 15 and 17, dug up a treasure while working in the field. After handing it over to the local government, the brothers and sisters were rewarded 500 yuan, a job, and a brand new bicycle.
If it is a member of the big boss's own family, or a relative, there will not be such a high reward.
The reward was generous, and it was given by several big bosses after discussing it together. They all felt sorry for the little girl. When the reward was given, there was also a letter written by the highest big boss, and a picture of encouraging Zhaojun was attached.
These, Zhaojun still don't know yet.
Her job transfer and further studies have already been arranged by a special person.
At this time, Zhaojun was completely unaware of all this.
Get up in the morning and find the sun, simply clean up.After making a little breakfast for herself, after eating, the fog cleared, and she hugged the quilt she was sleeping on and hung it on the rope to dry.
Pad it, cover it, and put it in the sun while the sun is good.
There are also quilts in other rooms, as much as possible to dry, try to dry as much as possible.
"Dong dong dong, is anyone there?" Someone knocked on the door outside and asked.
Two doors are installed next to the moon gate in the connected moon gate.
"Here, who is it?" Zhaojun tied the rack with a rope and dried the clothes he washed the day before yesterday.
The clothes are still a little wet, but not completely dry. If you dry them again today, they should be dry.
"Xiao Dou, I'm Zhou Yutong from the Zhou family in Dazayuan. My grandma asked me to ask you to go out and buy cabbage. There are a lot of cabbage here, and each household can buy fifty catties."
"Okay, wait a minute." Zhaojun rushed into the house and found out the money, purchase receipts and sacks.
"Hello Comrade Zhou Yutong, I'm Dou Zhaojun." In Zhaojun's memory, Zhou Yutong was a nice person.She has a good temper and a kind heart, but her fate is bad, and she met a scumbag and a wicked mother-in-law.
She worked as a maid for half her life in her husband's family, and the children she gave birth to were also brought up badly. Every filial person is a conscientious person.
"Hello, are you going now?" Zhou Yutong also reached out to shake hands.
"Go, I'll close the door."
Go out, close the moon door casually, and lock it.
She lives with a little girl, and she must always remember to close and lock the door at home.
When Zhou Yutong arrived at the place where Chinese cabbage was sold, many people had already bought Chinese cabbage.
There are crowds of people around, people everywhere, a large area of black basket and ash.
Zhaojun and Zhou Yutong squeezed in, and Grandma Zhou turned around and saw, "Little girl, come quickly."
The old lady waved to Zhaojun and Zhou Yutong, and the old lady would arrive soon.
"Grandma Zhou, thank you." Zhaojun walked over and greeted the old lady obediently.
The old lady was short and thin, and she didn't have much flesh on her face, but her eyebrows and eyes were soft, she was a kind old lady.
"Thank you, they are all neighbors in the neighborhood." Grandma Zhou is the only daughter in the family.
She has only one son, Zhou Kaiyang, and two daughters.
Two grandsons and one granddaughter.
The family relationship is relatively simple, the original owner is very paranoid, but has a good impression of the Zhou family.
Zhaojun didn't speak after hearing this, the old lady took Zhaojun's vegetable purchase voucher and Zhaojun's big unity.
Help her buy cabbage together.
After buying the cabbage, Zhaojun had great strength, picked up fifty catties of cabbage, threw it on his shoulders, and stood on the spot waiting for the grandparents of the Zhou family.
"Yutong, give it to me, let's carry it." Zhaojun stretched out his hand to help carry it.
"No, you've already carried fifty catties. I'll help Tongtong carry it." The old lady straightened her back and quit.How could she bully a little girl.
"Grandma Zhou, I can lift it. When I was in my hometown, I did a lot of farm work. I have a lot of strength." Zhaojun didn't care, he had already bent down and grabbed the upper pocket, folded it, and motioned Zhou Yutong to lift the lower two corners.
Fifty catties of cabbage is a good cover and can last for a while.
After the Zhou family had dinner, the family sat and chatted together.The head of the family, Grandma Zhou, sat cross-legged on the kang after dinner, talking with her son and grandson.
"Listen, you guys. When you meet Miss Dou in the Moon Gate Courtyard, speak politely. The little girl is nice and has a bright temper. If she has a problem, let's lend a hand. Help if you can, and the little girl is alone. , although her second uncle is in Kyoto.
But her second uncle is a soldier, so I'm afraid he doesn't have much time to visit her often.
On the first day she came the other day, only his second uncle came, which seemed strange. "
People are old and smart, and the old lady saw the problem early in the morning.
What's the problem, although she doesn't know.But when the little girl and her second uncle visited the neighbors in the courtyard that day, she saw something wrong.
Even if it is rare to see each other, the relatives are a little strange, but they are not like the two of them. They are not polite like uncles and nephews, but like strangers.
"Mom, don't worry, I will live in a large compound from now on, if there is a little girl in trouble, I will help if I can."
Zhou Kaiyang also helped to get the treasure chest in the haunted house at noon yesterday.
"Grandma, we will also help out. Don't worry, I promise not to bully her."
The two grandchildren also pledged, making promises.
"Okay, just know for yourself." The old lady had already noticed that the little girl from the Dou family was hot-tempered, so she knew that she was not easy to provoke.
But he wasn't the one who caused trouble, as long as he didn't provoke her, he was easy to get along with.
Time flies by, five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and two days later, I will go to work.
In a few days, I went around and around the few people who will focus on me in the future.I also met the scumbag and love rival that the original owner met in his previous life.
Very good, just wait, and find an opportunity to beat you to death in the future.
The original owner also met a scumbag and a mistress in her previous life. She was paranoid and aggressive, but she was not sad because the scumbag cheated on her, and took this opportunity to squeeze out the scumbag's wallet.
To a large extent, the development of the scumbag's career was delayed. Although the scumbag developed very well later, it was because the original owner squeezed the scumbag dry during the divorce.
Let the scumbag lose several good opportunities for development in the initial stage of his career.
Find the right opportunity and destroy that couple. In the past few decades in the previous life, the couple often showed their affection on TV, slandered the original owner, and said some ambiguous words, causing the world to misunderstand the original owner.
Zhaojun went to Uncle Bai's house in the compound early in the morning to borrow a cart.Walking all the way, on Sunday, I met many people.
"Xiao Dou, when do you go to work?" Leaning against the pillars of the verandah, knocking melon seeds, poohing off a melon seed shell, the surroundings where she stood were all melon seed shells.
Just after breakfast, she was grabbing melon seeds and kowtow, which was indeed in line with the evaluation of her by the people in the compound: lazy and greedy.
"I'll go in two days." It was already getting cold, Zhaojun thought about borrowing the cart from Uncle Bai's house to buy an old door panel from the waste collection station, wash it clean, dry it, put it on two high benches and use old cloth to dismantle it. Wash it and make it as a dressing.
After finishing, I can find time to make a few pairs of shoes, single cloth shoes, cotton shoes, and indoor slippers.
She brought some at home, and she is stepping up to make cotton shoes. First, she will make three pairs of cotton shoes. In winter, she will need three pairs of cotton shoes to replace them.
The bottom is inlaid with a thick tire rubber sole, which is waterproof and anti-thin snow.
Only thick pendants and three strands of nylon rope can be used for good rubber soles.
Zhaojun wanted to pass Mei Dazui and continue to Bai's house, but Mei Dazui seemed to have no other gossip, so he must find some gossip about her.
Before crossing over, Mei Dazui grabbed Zhaojun, "Ai ai ai, Xiao Dou, what's the hurry, chat for a while.
May I ask you something? "
Looking at the dark sky, Zhaojun said in a muffled voice, "What's the matter, I'm a foreigner who just came to Kyoto, so what can I know?"
Mei Dazui actually looks good, but his character is really not flattering.
No, Mei Dazui leaned on the pillars, looked around at the people in the corners of the gates of the houses in the compound, covered her mouth, and said cheerfully, "It's nothing, just ask the people who brought you to visit the neighbors that day. Is that really your second uncle?"
"Yes." After speaking, Zhaojun opened his legs and wanted to leave.Ke Mei still didn't let go, "Don't, just chat a few more words.
Your second uncle is a big cadre, right? "
"No, it's just an ordinary clerk." After finishing speaking, Zhaojun didn't want to touch Mei Dazui anymore, so he shook off Mei Dazui's hand vigorously, and went to Bai's house.
"Hello, Grandpa Bai." The old man Bai was sitting under the eaves of the porch, holding a pipe bag, but not smoking.The old woman at home forced him to quit smoking and forbade him to smoke.
Alas, the old woman is too fierce, there is no way out.
Alas, he sighed heavily for himself again.
"Okay, Miss Dou borrows the cart, right?" The old man understood Zhaojun's behavior.
I picked it up once a few days ago, and I went out to buy things.
"Yes, I have to borrow it again. In a few days, I will build a small cart myself."
"What should I buy? Is it heavy? Can a little girl like you push it?" In a few days, I became familiar with the grandparents in the compound.
The old people liked Zhaojun quite a lot, and thought she had a bright temper. Although she was not a kind-hearted girl, she was not a cruel person either.Treat people and things well, not stingy, and do things generously.
"It's not far away. It shouldn't be very heavy. I'll just buy two old boards. I'll cut them out and make the soles myself. I'll take a look to see if there are any old tire soles."
The old man understood and laughed, yes, yes, the little girl is not bad.Look, how diligent you are, you can still do this.
"Girl Dou, don't buy wooden boards, I have them at home, and your grandma Hu also uses them to make them. You only make them a few times a year. If you want to use them, just take them and use them. Anyway, it's only a few times a year. Or the next time you meet someone in the compound to replace the old door, you just buy it.
How tiring it is to go to the purchase station to transport it back. "
The old man was very kind, and Zhao Jun thought about it too. He only had so little money in his hand, so he had to save it.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. When someone in our courtyard changes the door. Please let me know when the time comes. As long as the price is right, I will buy it."
"okay."
A person came rushing from a distance, seeing Zhaojun waving his hands and shouting, "Xiao Dou, the director asked you to go to the neighborhood committee. Hurry up, there is something urgent."
"Okay, I'll be here right away. Grandpa Bai, I'll go to the neighborhood committee first."
"Go." The old man waved his hand and smiled.
In the neighborhood committee, a lot of people were waiting for Zhaojun with happy faces.
Zhaojun jogged to the neighborhood committee, and when she entered the door, she saw people all over the room smiling at her.
Director Ma, Director Tao, and a few people I didn't know, but they were not ordinary people at first glance, and there was another person who was wearing a gray and old Chinese tunic suit and black-rimmed glasses.
She was bewildered and didn't know what was going on.
Several people pressed her to sit down, and then solemnly presented her with rewards.
After finishing everything, the gentle young man wearing glasses handed Zhaojun a letter and a wooden box. Although the box was not made of precious wood, it was well made.
"Little girl, this is given to you by one of your fellow villagers. I hope you will study hard and acquire knowledge well in the future. You can serve the people better."
"Thank you, I will keep it well." Zhaojun didn't know what was inside, but thought it was in a box, so it shouldn't be edible.
8000 yuan, [-] foreign exchange certificates, various coupons, and a house, although it will be renovated next year.But she is not in a hurry, there is still a house to live in anyway.
First go to work at the District Women's Federation, last more than half a year, and go to university to study in September next year.It is still a paid study, and after graduation, there will be a diploma and a diploma.
After the rest of the people left, Director Ma and Director Tao took Zhaojun to the yard to chat alone.
Tell Zhaojun some things, for example, who wrote the letter and what is inside the box.From whose hands.
Zhaojun was stunned and opened his mouth wide, unable to believe that the man wrote and delivered letters to himself.
The foolish appearance pleased the two elders, who were also foolish when they first met.
They knew one night earlier than Zhaojun that it was Lao Wu who came to unlock the lock that day to remind Director Ma a little bit.
Zhaojun took out two thousand foreign exchange certificates from the money box, "Uncle Ma, Aunt Tao, take it, although I have only been in Beijing for a few days.
But I also know what the foreign exchange certificates are useful for, and I am not allowed to refuse, I must hold them, otherwise I will be angry.I will ignore you two from now on. "
After finishing speaking, he pouted and looked at the two of you.
Director Ma and Director Tao glanced at each other, and then happily took it, "Okay, keep it, don't refuse."
"Uncle Ma, Aunt Tao, where is the District Women's Federation? I haven't been there, is it far away?"
She actually knew, but she had to pretend not to know.
District Women's Federation, Director Tao is familiar with it, and often goes there. "It's not far, there are four miles. I think you should buy a bicycle and learn how to ride a bicycle. It will be convenient for you to commute to get off work in the future."
With money and coupons, Director Tao suggested that Zhaojun buy a bicycle.
"Okay, I listened to Aunt Tao and gave me a few more days to prepare. I happened to learn how to bike. However, I want to buy an old one. I don't know if there is a second-hand old car to buy.
I just came to town, so I don't want to be too conspicuous. "
Director Ma nodded secretly, he had a plan in mind. "Leave it to me to buy a second-hand old car. After buying it, I will send it to the neighborhood committee for you, and you can push it back by yourself."
