Return to the era, take over and become a winner in life

Chapter 29 See what's good

When preparing the first room, Xu Ye discovered that one of the walls was actually made of mahogany, and the board was very thick, almost two centimeters.

Moreover, the width of each piece of mahogany is more than 30 cm.

He really wanted to know what the Li family was thinking, using such thick mahogany as partitions.

Although rosewood is not particularly valuable nowadays, it is first-class for making furniture.

The other partitions are made of pine wood and are also 1 cm thick.

It is suitable for making furniture or laying floors.

In one afternoon, they dismantled two rooms and harvested a lot of wooden boards.

Unfortunately, I didn’t find any antiques, I only picked up two copper coins.

The room on the second floor was emptied out when Li Dongming's uncle and second uncle moved away, and has been uninhabited for many years.

Because there were two coffins and the lighting was not very good, it looked particularly eerie.

If Xu Ye hadn’t come, Li Qing and the others wouldn’t have dared to go upstairs to play.

"You guys go cook dinner first, I'll take a look around the second floor." Xu Ye planned to explore the entire second floor.

Outside, the rain could be heard falling in the distance and a cool breeze blew in through the large windows on the second floor.

However, the rain has now subsided. If the rain does not stop at night, the plan to go into the mountains will be shelved.

There is no way to hunt when it rains, as prey will not move around on rainy days.

Xu Ye immediately came to the place where the coffin was placed, and then he found a row of rolling logs underneath.

Each rolling log is about thirty centimeters in diameter and should be the material for making coffins.

"In the past, wealthy families used golden nanmu wood to make coffins. The Li family used red wood, which is not bad."

Looking at the eight pieces of red wood, Xu Ye couldn't help but mutter.

If it is golden nanmu, you will get rich instantly. In later generations, one single tree will be worth tens or even millions.

The surface of the coffin was painted red, and Xu Ye guessed that it was also made of mahogany.

It is normal that no one cares about this thing. After all, nowadays everyone likes to make their own coffins and will not use other people's, as they think it will shorten their lifespan and damage their good deeds.

Xu Ye wanted to know if those antiques were hidden in this coffin.

After opening it with great anticipation, Xu Ye found it was empty.

I knocked around but didn't find any partitions or anything like that.

Xu Ye left disappointedly and looked around the other rooms.

The rooms on the second floor were indeed empty, with no valuable discoveries.

When I returned to the first floor, it was already completely dark.

However, the moon secretly showed its face from behind the dark clouds.

The rain has stopped completely, but the coolness remains.

After dinner, Xu Ye carried three kilograms of rice and three kilograms of meat to Shangxi Village.

In the courtyard of the educated youth site, Gu Yun stood at the door and watched with a small wooden figure she had carved herself.

"Sister Yun, what happened to you at night? Why were you always looking at the door?"

"That's right. He seems a little strange today. Is he dating someone?"

"Is this true? Sister Yun has been in Shangxi Village for four years. Which boy in the village has she fallen for?"

"I guess it's Chen Xiangming. Although he's idle, his two elder sisters work in a textile factory."

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just waiting to see when Xu Ye will bring people to learn acupuncture from me." Gu Yun quickly stopped everyone's random speculation.

She is an old educated youth and has seen the methods used by countless female educated youth.

The most commonly used method is to spread rumors.

"Xu Ye, the educated youth from Beijing who married a village girl?"

"He, I heard he killed a 400-pound wild boar yesterday and exchanged it for a lot of goodies."

"I heard about it too. He also took his sister-in-law and neighbors to go hunting. Oh, it would be great if I could go hunting. Wouldn't I have to worry about not having meat to eat?" As she was speaking, Gu Yun saw two dark shadows coming from a distance, which made her feel relieved.

Soon, Xu Ye brought Li Qing closer.

"Li Qing, call someone and salute." When they were at the door, Xu Ye asked Li Qing to salute directly.

This yard is inhabited by female educated youth, so it is not convenient for him to enter.

"Master." Li Qing knelt down and kowtowed three times to Gu Yun.

"Hey, get up quickly." Gu Yun quickly helped Li Qing up.

"Sister Yun, this is a little gift from us, please accept it." Xu Ye handed a bag to Gu Yun, who was a few days older than him.

"That's too polite of you."

Gu Yun reached out and took the bag. She knew there must be meat in it, but she didn't know how much.

The people behind also gathered behind Gu Yun, curious about what Xu Ye had given her.

"Listen carefully to your master and learn well."

"Sister Yun, Xiaoqing will be in your care from now on."

"Don't worry, I will teach her well and won't hide anything from her." Gu Yun promised.

Xu Ye nodded, he believed it.

"The yard is full of female educated youth, so I won't go in."

After saying that, Xu Ye waved his hand and decisively left the educated youth courtyard.

Xu Ye didn't care what happened inside.

However, he believed that Gu Yun had lived in this educated youth courtyard for more than four years and should have learned how to survive.

Gu Yun glanced at Xu Ye's back, then hid the love in her eyes.

Some things are missed and they are missed forever.

She turned and looked at Li Qing, looking at her carefully for a while.

Looking at Li Qing's lively eyes, Gu Yun said in a deep voice: "Since you have chosen me as your master, you must study hard."

"Whether your brother can recover or not, the hope lies in you."

Li Qing looked at Gu Yun respectfully and said firmly, "Master, please rest assured. I will definitely study hard."

"Then come in with me." Gu Yun carried her things and walked towards her room.

"Sister Yun, what good stuff is in the bag?" A group of people gathered around.

"That's right, let everyone see it."

"Sister Yun, you don't want to hide some good food for yourself, do you?"

"We are all good sisters, so is there anything wrong with taking a look?"

Gu Yun naturally knew what these people were thinking.

She didn't expect that they would throw away their usual reserve and come up to her shamelessly to ask.

She found that she had underestimated the appeal of meat.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to steal my master's things?" Li Qing quickly stood up.

In the past few years, she has seen the fickleness of human nature and realized that face is meaningless and that being well fed is the most real thing.

"Sister, what are you talking about? We are just curious."

"That's right, don't talk nonsense. We have had a revolutionary friendship with your master for many years. How could we steal her things?"

Gu Yun twitched her face, then changed her mind.

"Let me open it and take a look. Don't worry. If there's anything delicious, you guys will have to have a share." After saying that, he opened the bag.

"Some rice and a large piece of bacon..." As he said that, Gu Yun took out the bacon from the bag.

When everyone saw the meat, they kept drooling.
