Back To Qiqi Farming To Raise Children

The four-entry courtyard, the serious deep house compound, is absolutely different from the place where ordinary people live.

It is said that this was the residence of some high-ranking officials in the Qing Dynasty, and wealthy businessmen lived in the Republic of China.

Later, this place was taken over and became an office, and it was returned to the descendants of this family only a few years ago.

The house has been through many twists and turns, and the damage is serious but no one maintains it.

The original owner's family was withered, and the descendants were useless, so they couldn't spend money to repair it.

Seeing the decline of the house day by day, he thought about selling it.

Just in time for Xu Shiyan to buy a house, the deal was concluded in two clicks. Since then, such a large courtyard has been named Xu.

"Oh, this yard is big, but it's just too dilapidated.

It seems that a lot of money needs to be spent on repairs, otherwise it will not be possible to live. "Su Anying walked around in the yard, sighing regretfully.

The house has been in disrepair for a long time, the carved window lattices are already broken, and the cornices and brackets are also incomplete.

There are a few pomegranate trees and jujube trees in the yard, most of which are dead due to neglect.

The two trees that are still alive seem to have been broken by naughty children, and most of their branches are bald, which is really a pity.

"Daughter-in-law, you should think this way, if the house wasn't so dilapidated, we wouldn't be able to buy such a big yard for hundreds of thousands.

Xiubai, I told Jin Liu about this and asked him to help find someone to repair it. It's fine for Zhendong to come over from time to time to check on the progress. "

Xu Shiyan thought it was a good deal to buy such a large courtyard for hundreds of thousands.

If this house is repaired and remodeled, it will cost at least tens of millions after thirty years? If it's not good, it can reach hundreds of millions.

It's only a few dollars to repair the house, it's just a drizzle.

"Yuanyuan, with your younger siblings, open the doors and windows of all the houses to let in the air.

Then look for a broom or something, sweep all the houses, and tidy up the yard. "

Xu Shiyan directed the children to work.

The house has gone through a lot of twists and turns, and it is not built in any way.

Now that the house belongs to Xu's family, they have to tidy it up anyway, and check everywhere to determine what needs to be repaired.

"Hey, I got it." Xu Haiyuan replied straightforwardly, and then led his younger siblings to work.

Several children opened all the doors and windows from front to back to let the air circulate.

There are so many houses, most of which are unoccupied and in disrepair for a long time, and there is a musty smell inside.

At the beginning, the children were quite serious about tidying up and cleaning up, but gradually they started playing.

There are so many houses, dozens of main rooms, wing rooms and side rooms, the place is huge.

The children can be regarded as catching the place, so why not be so excited?

Xu Haiqing played hide and seek with Xu Jinhui, looking for places to hide.

Just play and play, anyway, there is nothing to do today, so take a day to clean up slowly.

Unexpected, after a while, I heard Xu Jinhui's cry.

"Father, mother, eldest brother, second sister, come quickly, Haiqing is gone."

Xu Shiyan and his wife, as well as Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping, hurried towards the source of the sound.

"Huihui, where are you?"

Isn't it easy to hide a child in such a big yard?

It would be troublesome to search one by one, so Xu Shiyan shouted while running.

"Daddy, I'm here.

Just now Haiqing and I were hiding cats here, and I heard him ahh, and then he disappeared. "

Xu Jinhui came out from the main room in the second courtyard, and raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face.

There was quite a lot of dust in the room, and she didn't know where she touched it just now, anyway, her hands were covered with dust.

Such a swipe, okay, the pretty little face directly became a cat.

"Where is it? Let's go and have a look." Upon hearing this, Xu Haiyuan hurriedly dragged his sister into the house.

There are five main rooms with side rooms in the second courtyard, and three side rooms in the east and west. They are generally used for hospitality and entertainment, and the third courtyard is the back house.

Xu Jinhui pointed to the ear room on the east side, "I was outside just now, and Hai Qing was inside, so I heard him yell, but I didn't find him when I went into the room."

The little girl is still crying, she is in a hurry, her brother is gone, can she not be in a hurry?

When Xu Haiyuan heard this, he rushed to the ear room and shouted loudly, "Xu Haiqing, Xu Haiqing." No one answered.

At this time, Xu Shiyan and Su Anying also came over, "Are you sure he disappeared here? Did he run to the backyard?"

A good child, how could he disappear?

"Dad, Mom, I went to the backyard to call just now, but there was no movement." Xu Jinping also ran in panting.

She didn't come directly just now, but yelled around in other places in the backyard, but Xu Haiqing didn't respond.

"Where can this child go?" Su Anying was anxious.

What a child, he disappeared in a blink of an eye, which sounds impossible.

"There's something in this house, right?" Su Anying couldn't help but think about the bad side.

"Mom, don't think about it, this house should have a sandwich wall.

In order to avoid disasters and so on, deep houses and courtyards have sandwich walls when building houses. Wait, I'll look for it. "

Xu Haiyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but my mother could really think about it, what else could she think of.

What can there be? In this big capital, what dares to make trouble here?

As Xu Haiyuan said, he carefully observed the room, especially the footprints on the ground.

The house has not been cleaned for a long time, and there is a layer of dust on the ground, and Xu Haiqing's footprints can be seen.

Xu Haiyuan identified it carefully, and followed the footprints to the wall between the side room and the main room.

Xu Haiyuan raised his hand and tapped on the wall, but it really sounded wrong.

"It's empty inside, there must be a sandwich wall. Wait, I'll find the switch."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Haiyuan found a brick protruding slightly at the base of the wall.

So he stepped on it hard, and suddenly the wall in front of him cracked a hole about two feet wide.

Sure enough, this is a sandwich wall with an empty interlayer in the middle.

Then, everyone found that Xu Haiqing was leaning against the wall.

The mezzanine is not wide enough to allow one person to pass through.

Just now the secret door was not opened, Xu Haiqing was standing inside, now the door opened, Xu Haiqing slipped down along the wall, his body softened, and he half fell to the ground.

"What, what's the matter?" Both Xu Shiyan and Su Anying were terrified, and hurried forward to support their son.

These two couples are behind Xu Haiyuan, so naturally they are not as fast as Xu Haiyuan.

I saw Xu Haiyuan picked up his younger brother, raised his hand to touch the back of Xu Haiqing's head, and found a big bag.

"It's okay, he probably stepped on the mechanism by accident just now, touched the secret door, and fell into the interlayer wall.

Coincidentally, a bump was touched on the back of his head, and he should have passed out temporarily. "

While talking, Xu Haiyuan held his younger brother in his arms, squatted down, and pinched Xu Haiqing's waist with his right thumb.

Not long after, Xu Haiqing snorted and opened his eyes. "What's the matter? I seem to have stepped on the ground just now."

Xu Haiqing frowned, feeling something was wrong, the back of his head hurt, and the top of his lips also hurt.

"You kid is really good, you can hide a cat and fall into the wall, you hit the back of your head and passed out.

Thanks to Huihui being with you, otherwise, you would be suffocated inside, and we would not be able to find you. "

Xu Haiyuan rolled his eyes angrily, and helped his brother up.

"Huh? The sandwich wall? Let me see if there is any treasure hidden inside."

When Xu Haiqing heard about the sandwich wall, he suddenly regained his energy and asked with widened eyes.

When Xu Haiqing yelled, Xu Shiyan and his wife also lifted their spirits.

Generally speaking, the big family builds the wall, either to hide people or to hide things.

Just now, I was busy saving Xu Haiqing, but I didn't check to see if there was anything in the sandwich wall.

The couple hurried forward, looking into the interlocking wall with their probes.

The inside of the sandwich wall is only as high as one person, and there is a gap of about 40 to 50 centimeters in the middle, and the two sides should be single-layer bricks.

Looking in from the outside, the space on the left is small and there is nothing.

There seems to be a lot of space on the right hand side, and there are indeed some unknown things in it.

"Oh, there is really something inside." Su Anying exclaimed.

"Yuanyuan, you guys are waiting outside, I'll go in and have a look."

Xu Shiyan was worried about any accident, so he went in by himself and moved the things inside out.

Inside the mezzanine, there were several not-so-big wooden boxes stacked on top of each other.

The box is rectangular, about forty centimeters long, thirty centimeters wide, and only twenty centimeters high.

Although the box is not too big, it is quite heavy and heavy.

"Oh, it's not very brisk, I don't know what's inside."

Xu Shiyan carefully moved the box out and placed it on the ground outside.

There are four boxes in total, all of the same size, Xu Shiyan took a little effort, and at least he managed to move all the boxes out.

The inside of the sandwich wall was quite dry, but it was dusty. In a short time, Xu Shiyan's head and body were all covered with dust.

However, the box was preserved quite intact, and it was not damaged by moisture.

"Hey? There's a lock on it. We don't have a key. How can we do this?"

Xu Haiqing couldn't care less about the pain in the back of his head, and wandered around the boxes, looking at them curiously.

"Pingping, lend me one of the clips on your head."

Xu Haiyuan glanced at the lock, it was an old copper lock, not too big, small and exquisite.

So looking back, Guan Xu Jinping wanted to issue a card.

Xu Jinping's ponytail, the little girl's hair is broken, and she will use a few black hair clips to pin the broken hair.

As soon as she heard that her brother was about to issue cards, Xu Jinping quickly took off two and handed them to her brother.

Xu Haiyuan took one end of the hairpin and inserted the other end into the lock.

I saw his wrist twist slightly, three or two times, and then heard a sound, and the lock unexpectedly flicked open.

"Brother, when did you practice this hand, isn't it too good?"

Xu Haiqing and the others were all dumbfounded, did the lock open so easily? Impossible?

Not only Xu Haiqing and the others were shocked, even Xu Shiyan and his wife were dumbfounded.

The eldest son's trick is very beautiful, and he opened the lock easily?

After that, do I need to go somewhere to prepare a case or something?

"Those students in our class learn not to lock their heads all day long.

Paper clips, pins, hairpins, they use whatever they can find. The locks in my class have to be changed three or four times a semester, and they are all broken. "

Xu Haiyuan smiled, explained something casually, then took off the lock and opened the box.

Inside the box was a layer of red silk. When I opened the red silk, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.

Inside turned out to be golden ingots.

Looking at it, it should be old-made five-two-one ingots. There are three layers in the box, with a layer of more than ten ingots. It seems that there are almost fifty ingots in this box.

If calculated according to the current measurement standard, it would be about fifteen or six catties, which is really not light.

"Father, is this gold?" Xu Haiqing was also dumbfounded, and murmured.

"Xu Haiqing, you have to make a promise to me now, you are not allowed to tell anyone what happened today, did you hear me?"

Xu Shiyan glanced at his youngest son and said solemnly.

Although only one of the four boxes in front of me was opened, the others could guess that there must be valuable things hidden inside.

This house was bought by the Xu family, so no matter what is in it, it should belong to them.

But if it gets out, I'm afraid the original homeowner will have to come back to fight, and the relevant departments will have to come if there is trouble.

Among the children in the family, Xu Haiyuan and Xu Jinping are ghosts and ghosts who understand the seriousness, while Xu Jinhui is honest and steady and never talks too much.

Only Xu Haiqing's mouth doesn't know the door. He can speak out from all over the world, from the first five hundred years to the next five hundred years.

Usually those parents are just short-sighted, but today's matter is very important, if Xu Haiqing goes out to mess around, it will definitely cause trouble.

That's why Xu Shiyan stared at the youngest son, and asked the youngest son to promise not to go out and talk nonsense.

Seeing his father's face, Xu Haiqing knew that something was going to happen, and he got into trouble with his fall.

"Father, I promise, I will never tell anyone when I go out, and I won't tell anyone, even the third brother and the others."

Don't look at Xu Haiqing's love of playing and making troubles, he still understands the importance of right and wrong.

"Okay, your promise today, Dad believed it.

But in the future, if you go out and talk nonsense, you will cause trouble. Be careful I can really kill you, you hear me? "

At this time, the younger son must be frightened and let him have a memory.

Sure enough, Xu Haiqing turned pale with fright and nodded repeatedly.

He is very clear, don't look at his father not beating them easily, but if he really annoys his father, his father will be ruthless, and he will have to peel off his skin if he doesn't die.

"I know, Dad, I will definitely not say it." The child was frightened and almost cried.

Xu Shiyan frightened Xu Haiqing, but Su Anying, Xu Haiyuan and others remained silent, and no one made love to Xu Haiqing.

Xu Haiqing must remember this matter, knowing that the consequences will be serious.

Xu Haiqing reassured him repeatedly, and then Xu Shiyan nodded.

Over there, Xu Haiyuan opened the other three boxes in turn.

Inside the second box was still gold, but it was gold bars, not gold ingots.

It is said that antiques in prosperous times and gold in troubled times, one can tell at a glance that the owner of this house is quite smart.

Inside the third and fourth boxes are all kinds of jewelry.

Hairpins, hairpins, necklaces, bracelets, bead strings, jade pendants, pendants, gold, silver, pearls and jade are all materials that Xu Shiyan can't name.

Those jewelry are not only beautifully made, most of them are inlaid with various precious gemstones.

These things are well preserved, and have not become old and dim because of the age, and are still bright and shining.

"The value of these two boxes is more valuable than those two boxes of gold." Xu Haiyuan glanced at it and said.

Xu Haiyuan didn't need to say this, Xu Shiyan knew it very well.

In the past, the amount of gold mined was small, so it was very precious, and it was a precious metal that preserved its value.

But as mining technology becomes more and more advanced, gold reserves are increasing.

Regardless of the fact that the price of gold is rising all the way, in fact, if calculated according to purchasing power, gold is depreciating.

But those jewelry are old and considered antiques.

Especially those jade bracelets, jade pendants, gemstone bead strings and other things, any one of them is worth a lot.

It is estimated that these things have been in the interlayer wall for many years, and the incompleteness is left by that senior official and his descendants.

For some unknown reason, the secret of the hidden treasure was not passed on, and no one found it in the end, and Xu Haiyuan stomped it out.

"What are we going to do with these things?" Xu Shiyan looked at the four small boxes in front of him, feeling a bit embarrassed for a moment.
