The woman watched Qiao Manman walk away, then thought for a moment and went home to fetch a ladder.
Lying at the entrance of the cave, looking at the abundance of nuts, I mentally plucked a flower petal: "Eat, don't eat, eat, don't eat, eat..."
Finally, he made up his mind: "Whatever, I'll just take it first!"
As he spoke, he pulled nuts out of the hole—oh my, peanuts, chestnuts, walnuts, and even red dates and pine nuts.
These dates, in particular, are big, red, and very fresh.
The woman speculated, "Did they steal someone's kitchen? Tsk tsk!"
Having stolen her own space, Qiao Manman hopped and skipped along the way, looking just like a chipmunk.
Lu Yuan knew his wife was lively, but he never expected that a little windfall would make her so happy.
Without realizing it, he smiled and asked Qiao Manman for a camera to capture this beautiful moment.
Using her crossbody bag as a cover, Qiao Manman took out a vintage camera from her storage space.
Tell Lu Yuan how to use it, run a distance, and strike various poses.
Lu Yuan's fingers flew across the keyboard, capturing a bright smiling face in every frame.
Seeing their owner happy, Big Yellow and Little Flower laughed and played with her.
Beside the ancient road, under the sunlight, a beautiful woman, as lovely as jade, and a small dog and chicks complement each other charmingly.
A dozen minutes later, Qiao Manman pulled Lu Yuan over to take a picture together.
Without a front-facing camera, Qiao Manman had no idea what she had captured.
When I got back and checked, I found half a smiling face huddled together, and upturned eyebrows and eyes; everything was beautiful and genuine.
"It's getting late, let's go home!" As the sun set, Lu Yuan wiped Qiao Manman's sweat.
"Okay!" I put away my camera and headed back with Dahuang and Xiaohua. As we passed a tenement building, Dahuang barked at a flowerpot in the corner.
Qiao Manman quickly pinched Da Huang's mouth shut: "Okay, okay, don't bark!"
They took the dog a good distance away and found a rock to sit on. They took out a few meat buns and ate them with Lu Yuan while keeping an eye on the commotion.
As the sun sets, many people return home from get off work, their noise and chatter filling the air with the warmth of daily life.
It wasn't until late at night, when the people who had been enjoying the cool air went back to sleep, that Qiao Manman went over and turned the flowerpot upside down.
Digging through the soil, they quickly discovered the problem. Inside, there were not only small yellow croakers, but also a stack of ten-yuan bills.
Whether it was from rain or water, the large coin was rotten and clearly unusable.
Qiao Manman picked up a bill with disdain: "I don't know if the credit union will exchange it."
"Take them all with you. We'll ask at the credit union tomorrow."
Qiao Manman hummed in agreement, took out a plastic bag, and put the large denomination into it.
Lu Yuan stood to the side and put the flowerpot back in its original position. Before leaving, the two threw a tomato seed into it as a token of their gratitude.
When they got home, they found Xie Susu waiting for them.
Qiao Manman handed the other person a basket full of strawberries, cherries, lychees, and mangoes, which looked quite expensive.
"Where did you buy it? It must have cost a lot of money!"
"I bought them all because they looked good. Mom, let's see if they're tasty!"
"Delicious, delicious, it looks delicious!"
He went into the kitchen, washed a plate of fruit, and sat down on the sofa before asking, "Is this what you two bought that made you so late?"
Qiao Manman glanced around to make sure Aunt Zhou was fast asleep in the room before lowering her voice and saying, "Lu Yuan and I found some treasure outside!"
He then took out a small yellow croaker.
Xie Susu took it, examined it under the light for a while, and then bit it to make a mark: "Oh, it really is! Quickly, put it away!"
Qiao Manman thought this mother-in-law was really good at handling things. If it were He Nian, she would probably worry that her mother-in-law had stolen someone else's treasure and that she would be retaliated against.
Xie Susu had no such worries and even offered plenty of emotional support: "You dug up a few, where did you dig them up? Did no one see you? Hide them quickly, save them to buy flower clothes later!"
Qiao Manman laughed and hugged her arm, leaning her head against it and acting coquettishly: "There were several of them, hidden in the flowerpot. There was also money, but it all rotted. Maybe someone hid it there and forgot, or something happened."
Xie Susu patted her head: "Don't take the money out. If someone follows the clues and comes looking for us, we'll lose more than we gain."
After saying that, he sighed and said, "We used to have these things too, but I don't know when, someone dug them up..."
"Well, having too much of this stuff isn't a good thing either. Consider it a loss to avoid further trouble!"
Qiao Manman felt guilty: "It's okay, Mom. Once the country opens up trade, I'll earn you a whole box of small yellow croakers!"
Xie Susu took it as a joke and nodded, "Then Mom will wait! Okay, hurry up and pack up and go back to your room to sleep. Take this plate of fruit with you, you can eat it if you get hungry tonight!"
Qiao Manman waved her hand: "No need, we ate on the way. Mom, you should rest too, you have to go to work tomorrow!"
Xie Susu hummed in agreement and went back to her room to rest.
Qiao Manman then brought Lu Yuan, Da Huang, and Xiao Hua into the space. Each of them ate their fill of strawberries in a bowl before going to the bathroom to wash up.
"Honey, who do you think hid that little goldfish?"
Although they were not found in the same place, Qiao Manman had a hunch that the treasures in both places were hidden by the same person.
After all, they have a consistent style.
Lu Yuan shook his head: "Who knows? Anyway, it's an unexpected windfall. How about we donate some to the orphanage later?"
Qiao Manman had no objection to helping the vulnerable. It was just that it was late at night, and she didn't want to run back and forth, so she lazily said, "Let's go before dawn!"
Lu Yuan had no objections. He and his wife spent a long time cuddling on the big bed before falling into a deep sleep.
When the system notified them, the two of them got up listlessly, dressed, and rode their bicycles to the vicinity of the orphanage.
They used the same trick again, throwing in several hundred yuan and some coarse grains.
She wasn't particularly happy when she heard the notification sound of points being credited to her account before leaving.
During this period, Qiao Manman received merit points almost every day, and she had become quite calm about it.
Aside from signing in, it was just normal life. Qiao Manman didn't pay attention to any changes in the space; it was just that the area was getting bigger, the supplies were increasing, and her control over it was getting stronger.
On my way back from the orphanage, I passed by a state-run restaurant and bought some soy milk and fried dough sticks.
Just as I was about to turn the corner, I saw a distraught middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the street, crying and saying that he was wrong.
He shouldn't have tolerated Meng Hongsheng bullying Li Wanwan, and he shouldn't have offered his daughter to Su Wenrui for a secure job when Su Wenrui pressured him.
"Who is this?" Qiao Manman asked the crowd.
The chatterbox revealed Li Zhong's true identity: "His daughter was murdered; it's so pitiful!"
Qiao Manman declined to comment and went home with Lu Yuan to their family compound.
As soon as they opened the door, they were greeted warmly by Da Huang and Xiao Hua. Aunt Zhou had cooked a thick rice porridge and was waiting for the two of them to return so they could eat.
Qiao Manman put the fried dough sticks on a plate and chatted with Xie Susu while eating.
After finishing her meal, Xie Susu saw her off to work, her eyes red: "That's enough for now. You two be careful on the road. If you have any good news, call Mom as soon as possible!"
Qiao Manman nodded: "I will try my best!"
Xie Susu raised her hand and gently pinched her nose: "Just let nature take its course!"
