Chapter 832
"Do you want me to go with you to help?"
"No need, you stay at home and watch the children. Dad and I can move them ourselves. Anyway, we'll push them back after moving them."
"Then go a little later, it's only 9 o'clock, some people in the village might not be asleep yet."
"Mm."
His father hadn't come over yet, and he didn't know if he had overslept or was entangled by his mother. Taking advantage of the free time, he walked around the courtyard to see where it was suitable to bury them.
And after Lin Xiuqing urged the two children to sleep early, she returned to the room, covered the sleeping Ye Xiaoxi with a quilt, opened the locked drawer, took out the gold biscuit she had hidden earlier, and stroked it back and forth.
There were still the tooth marks she had bitten earlier on it, but now Adong said their family had another big box of gold ingots, which were much more valuable than these gold biscuits.
It felt like the windfall from heaven had been desperately falling into their family for the past few years. In the past, she only thought about it in her dreams, but now she was suddenly getting rich one after another.
However, this kind of windfall felt too unrealistic. Although she held it in her hand, she always felt it wasn't hers, and there was no sense of reality.
She looked at the scattered cents and dimes in the drawer again and felt that such small change looked more realistic. At least it was earned by her own hard work bit by bit, and daily spending could be seen.
After locking the drawer, she took the gold biscuit and locked it in the cabinet.
As there were more and more of these things in the house, she didn't dare to expose them outside now, so she'd better keep them at the bottom of the box and not take them out to look at them.
She locked the big money in the house in the cabinet, and the small money and receipts were always needed for spending, so they were locked in the drawer for easy access.
Ye Yaodong walked around the courtyard again and again, and finally thought it was better to dig by the vegetable garden. The color of the soil around the newly dug pit was always different. If he dug by the vegetable garden, people wouldn't be suspicious if they saw it when entering the courtyard.
After finding a good location, he went to get a hoe, preparing to attack that patch of chives.
That's right, it was chives. Chives were easy to grow and were planted on the very edge, which was the most suitable.
He used a hoe to shovel them up by the roots and put them aside. After he dug the pit and buried the boxes, he would just replant the chives.
Seeing that his father hadn't come for a long time, he simply shoveled the chives up first, and then continued to dig the pit downward.
The dogs on the side were curious and surrounded him to watch him work. Ye Yaodong was afraid that he would send them to the west with one hoe, so he hurriedly stopped.
"Go aside, don't get in the way here... Come, come, come... all come together, dig this pit hard for me, dig it bigger, deeper, the deeper the better."
This was a ready-made group of laborers who had delivered themselves to the door. If he didn't use them, who would he use? It just so happened that he also felt very tired.
One of the dogs started digging, and the rest followed suit and dug together.
Ye Yaodong stepped on the iron sheet of the hoe, supported his hands on the stick, and watched. It felt quite good to have free labor, and the key was that they were tight-lipped!
Before long, the courtyard door was knocked. The dogs were smarter than him, all stopped, and two of them quickly ran to the door to bark twice, then quickly ran back to continue digging the pit.
Ye Yaodong watched their smart appearance with a smile and only felt that the big black dog was left correctly at that time.
Without opening the courtyard door, he also knew it should be his father.
As soon as Ye Fu stepped into the courtyard, he saw a pile of dogs surrounding a circle, digging hard in a pit, and asked suspiciously, "What are they doing?"
"I told them to dig a pit," he whispered, "There shouldn't be any lights on in the village at this time, right?"
Ye Fu looked at the dogs digging the pit and whispered, "It's pitch black. Working is exhausting, so basically everyone goes to bed early. Who would be willing to turn on the lights? It's just right to go out to the pier to move them now. Are you planning to bury them there?"
"Mm, seeing that you hadn't come over for a long time, I found a place and dug a few times first."
"I just got up and woke your mother, asking me what I was doing. I said I was going out to the latrine, so I sneaked out. If I go back late, if she wakes up, I guess she'll have more questions."
"You say you accidentally fell into the latrine, spent a lot of effort to climb up, and washed yourself clean before entering the house, so you were delayed for several hours."
Ye Fu: "..."
"Then I don't want to enter the house to sleep at night, and I don't want to go to bed later."
"Isn't this a good thing? You can sleep in another room in a justified way, and you can hide your private money."
Ye Fu thought about it and it seemed right. He didn't even have a place to hide the gold ingot at night, and he pondered for a long time before finding a mouse hole in another room, and then filled it with soil.
He was afraid that his wife would see it, and he didn't know how to explain it then. If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have greedily brought it back in the afternoon.
If he could sleep in separate beds and rooms, that would be great.
In middle age, having a personal space was great, and he could secretly play with the gold ingot.
"We'll talk about it when we go back at night, let's go quickly now."
"Mm, you go push the cart, I'll go get the flashlight, and turn off the door and lights by the way."
"I brought a flashlight, you just turn off the lights and the door."
"Good."
Before going out, Ye Yaodong also told the dogs not to stop, to continue digging the pit, and to dig it deeper.
He had no psychological burden at all when exploiting livestock.
The father and son had a small flashlight, walking along the shore to the pier. The orange light circle moved as they walked, sometimes big and sometimes small. Ye Yaodong also kept looking around.
At this time, he didn't know if he would meet anyone. Lin Ji Shang seemed to have been at home recently. This person always walked on night roads, and he didn't know if he was going to unload goods at the village pier again.
Now there were more people living by the beach. Who knew if they would not turn on the flashlight to cover their ears and steal the bell.
Mazu bless, don't meet anyone.
Help people to the end, send Buddha to the west, and send wealth to the house.
Ye Yaodong muttered in his heart. Fortunately, his prayer should have been heard. It was quiet outside the pier, with no lights and no sound, only the sound of waves one after another.
The father and son instantly put their hearts back into their stomachs.
Originally, under normal circumstances, there would be no one outside the pier at this time.
The father and son moved back and forth carefully. They started with the light ones. When it was the turn of the heaviest box of gold, the two used a thick bamboo tube to carry it, and it was hard to get it off the boat. When it landed, it was still unstable and scattered all over the ground, but fortunately, it didn't fall into the sea.
When the two pushed the cart and ran back to the door of the house, Ye Yaodong suddenly saw several flashlight halos at the intersection by the small workshop. He immediately turned off his flashlight to avoid being seen.
Ye Fu also saw it, pulled his sleeve in surprise, and whispered, "Where did so many people come from? And they're heading to the pier?"
Ye Yaodong only felt it was dangerous. Fortunately, he pushed it back a step earlier. If it were a little later, he would have bumped into them. It must have been Mazu who heard his prayer earlier.
"Shh."
He quickly opened the courtyard door and pushed the cart in first.
Ye Fu looked at his appearance of not being surprised at all and asked curiously, "Do you know who it is?"
"I know a fart! It's pitch black, and I don't have clairvoyance. But walking on night roads in the middle of the night must not be doing good things, like us, isn't this doing things that can't see the light? It's better to have one less thing than one more thing."
"Mm, so many people, looking at the flashlight halo, they should be walking outside the pier. Do you think they are smuggling? Does our village really have people doing this? I don't know who it is?"
"I don't know, aren't there many people doing this now? Money comes so fast, don't worry about others, we haven't even finished our own work here."
He felt, would that large yellow croaker from a few days ago have come in handy? So Lin Ji Shang dared to unload goods near the village again after more than half a year?
That's really awesome!
The monsters killed by Sun Wukong were all those without backgrounds, and the monsters with backgrounds were all taken away.
Ye Fu stood in the courtyard, stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck, looked at it, and then took it back, "It's better to have one less thing than one more thing, it has nothing to do with us."
Ye Yaodong had long since taken back his eyes. Seeing the dogs lying on the ground with their tongues sticking out, he walked over and glanced at them. He didn't expect that the pit was dug quite large, and the deep position in the middle was also 50 or 60 centimeters deep.
He squatted down and touched the dog's head by his feet, "Are you tired?"
The little black dog immediately climbed up, turned its head, and licked his palm with its tongue.
Ye Yaodong took the opportunity to touch its chin, "Alright, go to sleep, I'll dig a little deeper myself."
"These dogs are quite obedient, I didn't expect them to dig such a big pit."
"Mm, it's quite good, a little expert at watching the house. I'll dig the pit bigger, you go and scoop a ladle of water for them to drink first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he spat twice into his palm, and then picked up the hoe and waved it.
Lin Xiuqing didn't sleep at all and kept pricking up her ears to listen to the movement outside. Because it was hot and the window was open, the sound insulation wasn't that good. Hearing the sound of the courtyard door being pushed open vaguely, she immediately sat up.
And the old lady stood at the door a step earlier than her. Her room was just facing the vegetable garden, and she heard the movement more clearly than Lin Xiuqing.
"What are you two father and son doing without sleeping in the middle of the night? I felt like I heard movement earlier, but by the time I put on my clothes and came out, I didn't see anything. I thought it was a thief again. I just stood at the door and watched for a long time, and then lay down in my clothes. I didn't expect to catch you two."
"Ah? Shh, is the movement too loud?" Ye Yaodong whispered.
"No, people are old, sleep is a little light, I feel like I heard some sound."
Lin Xiuqing helped the old lady walk to the side of the vegetable garden and pointed to the boxes on the cart and asked, "Are these the boxes?"
"Mm, don't talk, lest you wake others up. Let's bury the boxes first."
Ye Fu also went to the corner of the wall next door to get a shovel and shoveled together.
Lin Xiuqing's curiosity was hooked. Seeing that there was nothing she could help with, she walked to the cart, opened a box at random, and planned to take a look before burying it.
Who knew, she opened it so accurately that she opened the gold box directly.
A golden yellow piece, almost scaring the old lady to death. She herself also took a fierce breath.
It was really a whole box of gold ingots!
The old lady was shocked without defense, grabbed Aqing tightly, and the whole person was shaking, even her voice was trembling.
"This... where did this come from? If this is discovered, will it be caught and criticized again... hurry, hurry, hurry... hide it..."
She was so panicked that she hurriedly grabbed the lid and covered it, and her mouth was incoherent.
"Can't be seen by others, can't be discovered, bury it quickly... have to bury it..."
