Chapter 21 Beating (1)

After New Year's Day, Luli got an unexpected news, "I heard that someone dug a gun on the side of the city wall!"

"??" Luli widened his eyes in surprise. The boy's love for guns is regardless of age. "Really..."

"Really." Gou Li nodded confidently, "Daxin and Liu Gan'er have made an appointment, and we are going together! Are you going?"

"Go." Luli nodded vigorously, "More...more...we?"

"If you go late tomorrow, you will pick it up."

"Okay..." Luli thought for a while and said, "I...I...I...I, too."

"I know, you will go together tomorrow." Gou Li said, "Let your aunt bake you a piece of sesame paste cake and take it with you. We're going there for a day!"

This is a difficult problem. Luli thought to himself that although he often plays and makes fun of it, he never went there for a whole day and most of them came back once at noon. Why did he tell his aunt?

Fortunately, although Lu Li was naughty at school, in the eyes of his aunt, he was a baby like a flesh-hearted person. He blindly believed the child's words. He just stuttered that he would go out with Gou Li tomorrow, and Daxin and others would not go home for dinner. Yu Fang nodded immediately, "Then, bring a steamed bun?"

"Well," Luli said, "Ma...sauce...cake."

"Are you greedy?" Yu Fang laughed, "I want to eat sesame sauce pancakes, so I won't come back at noon, right?" She asked self-righteously, seeing the child blushing, and nodding with a smile, "Okay, get up tomorrow morning, my aunt will give you pancakes. By the way, come back in the afternoon, your uncle and his family will come."

Lu Li was speechless for a while. He really didn't want to see the old man's family. He would never see him without any longing. He didn't know much about the past, but just the conversation between his uncle and his wife and his neighbors allowed him to outline the general idea. There is no need to mention the couple's behavior that is annoying in themselves. I heard from my uncle that the old man is not a human temper at all. If the child is at all wrong, he will kill him, and there is no love between father and son, father and daughter!

Yu Fang didn't know this. After waking up, she saw that the stove had been prepared. She quickly kneaded the dough, rolled it out, applied a layer of sesame paste, sprinkled with sugar, rolled it into a round cake, put it on the fire, sautéed a corner and stuffed it into her mouth, and chewed it a few bites, "No wonder you like it, this thing is delicious!"

Lu Li even smiled so hard that he couldn't see the eyes. He happily packed the sesame sauce cakes, put on a wool hat, turned around and left the courtyard. At the entrance of the alley, he met with Daxin, Gou Li, Liu Gan'er, and Zhang Li who were waiting there, and rushed out of the city together.

The weather was extremely cold, and the cold wind broke through the thick winter clothes of the children in a short while. The exposed parts on their heads and hands were even more painful like needle-like pain. However, the children were attracted by the guns that might have been handed, so they didn't care about such difficulties at all, and ran forward excitedly.

When they arrived under the city wall, several children were stunned: the children were digging around with their butts sticking out, using shovels and fire chopsticks in their hands to dig around the ground, just like children from all over the world (Tianjin) have gathered here! Needless to ask, the news they received has spread all over the world, which has attracted other children to take their luck.

"Xiaoxiao, what should I do? So many people?"

"We...we...dig too!" Lu Li didn't give up. What's wrong with the number of people? Maybe they couldn't dig it? He took the fire chopsticks from Daxin's hand and rushed over quickly.

The five children had been busy all morning and didn't dig out anything. Not to mention the pistol, even a rusty and holes were covered with holes. The steel helmet, like a colander, was not dug out. Instead, it replaced the work of the earthworm and turned over the surrounding soil! Dog Li was tired and hungry, and was covered with soil. He sat on the ground and said weakly, "Xiaoxiao, I'm starving to death, give me a piece of cake?"

Lu Li nodded and reached into his arms, but immediately changed his face. After some labor, the sesame paste cake in his arms had long disappeared. It must have fallen off while digging the ground! Thinking of the aunt working hard for her to get up early, knead the noodles, and fed the fragrant sesame paste cake out of thin air without taking a bite. The child was so anxious that he could cry, "What's wrong? Xiaoxiao?"

"No...no...it's!"

"Why is it gone?" Gou Li was anxious. The children in the alley knew that Yu Fang loved Lu Li the most. He gave him such suggestions because he wanted to mix the fragrance of sesame paste cakes. So apart from not bringing lunch, he didn't even eat breakfast. This time, Wang Laoer pounded garlic, which was delayed!

In a daze, Liu Gan'er suddenly heard him shouting, "Dig, digging!"

A call attracted the attention of all the children around him. Luli and Gouli ran over and saw it, feeling disappointed: it was not a gun, or even a steel helmet, but a ball of black and black iron. I don’t know who threw it here. After years of concealing the soil, the light of the sky was again seen.

Liu Gan'er also looked annoyed, thinking that she had dug up the treasure, but who knew it was such a thing? When she was angry, she lost her energy and threw the small shovel in vain, "Xiaoxiao, I'm tired, let's go back?"

After not getting any harvest, Lu Li also felt cold and sweat wet body. When the cold wind in this open land was blown, his body was even colder. Looking back at the withered weeds and devastated ground, there were garbage that children had turned out from the ground, including bricks and tiles, and metal garbage. He suddenly lit up in front of him, waved his hand, and called Dog Li, Daxin, Zhang Li and others in front of him, squatted down, "What are you doing?"

"This...this...this," he said in a small voice, "It can...it can...sell...sell...."

Gou Li was shocked and didn't want to find treasure, and there were unexpected gains? "Is it true or false?"

Luli nodded vigorously, "I...I..." He was really inconvenient to speak, so he picked up the fire chopsticks and wrote a sentence on the ground, "I jiujiu went home last time and said that they sold rags in the shop, and I realized that iron could be sold for money."

"So, how much can it be sold?"

Luli stood up, looked around, lowered his head and wrote, "I don't know, it's a lot anyway! I heard from me that it's sold for more than 100 yuan!"

At that time, the salary of a third-level worker was 38.72, and more than one hundred yuan was three months' salary! The children did not care whether the iron blocks in front of them could be sold that much, but they could be rich. "Let's get this thing away now and see how to sell it?"

"So many irons, we have to get a cart," Luli wrote. "Gouli went home to push the cart, and we continued to gather here, the more the better!"

Several people acted separately, and the dog stand guard went home by himself. After a while, he pushed the board cart at home and rushed back, "Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao? Where?"

"this!"

The few young people started together and filled a truck full of iron blocks, wires and iron sheets, and pushed them swayingly to a waste recycling station not far from Linheping Road. The collector was a middle-aged woman wearing a hidden blue cloth coat. He looked at the group of half-grown children who were shining in their eyes, looked at the board cart they were pushing, and asked a few words lightly. Liu Gan'er did not lie, but said that it was picked up. The latter did not ask more questions, went into the house and said a few words to his colleagues, and came out to weigh them.

After the scale was finished, the total was more than 67 kilograms. According to 0.16 per kilogram, it was 10.72 rounds. But it was not as good as the children who showed a happy look when they heard such numbers. The woman suddenly raised her eyebrows and said to them, "Come? They are these children."
