Chapter 155: Little Thoughts of Banggeng
Who else could Qin Huairu look for? In the end, she found Ye Shu. He was also very surprised when he heard about this. He didn't expect that Banggeng had awakened the skill of a thief? !
To be honest, he really didn't want to get involved in this matter, but people living in this world can't live without this society of favors! If he doesn't even ask, his reputation in the future won't be very good.
Ye Shu called someone and said, "This kid made a mistake and should be punished, but it's too severe to sentence him to ten years for stealing a few chickens. We are willing to actively compensate and see if we can get a lighter punishment with the forgiveness of the villagers."
If the police had not been called in this matter and he had actively compensated the villagers for their losses, the villagers would not have made things difficult for Banggeng. However, this kid was too stubborn at the beginning, so the village chief sent him to the police station in a fit of anger.
In the end, Ye Shu and Qin Huairu went to the village and got a letter of forgiveness, but they still sentenced Banggeng to three years!
On the way back, Qin Huairu kept wiping her tears from time to time. Ye Shu was so annoyed that he lay alone on the berth and ignored Qin Huairu.
After Banggeng was sentenced, he regretted it very much, but regret was of no use. He was sent to a labor camp, thinking that he would still do farm work like before, but he did not expect that he would be assigned to a mine.
He had just arrived and was curious about everything here. He saw that it was a sandy river valley with a lot of machines placed in the valley and many houses on the river bank.
After working for a few days, he learned some things from others. It turned out that this was a gold mine, which was left behind after the Japanese invaders were driven away.
We also understood how gold is extracted from sand and stone.
Although there are quite a few machines here, they are just a few ore washing equipment. They look big, but their functions are just average.
It's very hard here. Every day I'm either pushing a wheelbarrow or carrying sand. My skin is always wet and it becomes a mess in a few days.
When he was free, he would watch some older people making things with wooden boards in front of the water. He didn’t know what these things were called. They were filled with sand and were shaking in the water.
After a while, the sand will become less and less, leaving some black stuff and some yellow particles.
The old man was curious about the stick and asked, "Why, curious?"
"Haha! This yellow thing is gold particles. After processing, it becomes gold."
Bang Geng was a little excited when he heard it, thinking that this was gold. But after he saw it clearly, he lost interest and said, "This is just a little! It's too little!"
"Little? You kid! Do you know how much this is worth?"
Bang Geng shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"You don't know, right? After these are refined, they are worth at least 60 or 70 yuan. Look at this pile of materials, how much gold is worth?"
Bang Geng said in surprise: "This pile of materials, you just scooped up a shovel, and it's worth sixty or seventy yuan. If you take all of it, it must be worth thousands of yuan, right?"
"That's about right. And this is just my pile. Look at how many there are when all of theirs are added together."
"These are only half a day's output of our mine."
"Bang Geng was so surprised that his mouth couldn't close. The old man was very happy when he saw Bang Geng's inexperienced look. He felt very relieved when he saw that Bang Geng looked so naive."
"Boy, you are surprised by this. Do you know that there is a mining site not far from here? They don't mine like we do there."
Bang Geng asked in confusion: "If we don't mine like this, how can we mine?"
"Let me tell you! They use mining ships there. Even though they are a little small, they are much more powerful than the hundreds of people we have here!"
"Hiss, so powerful?"
"What's the use of it! That thing is powerful, but if there is no one who knows how to mine gold, the money earned will not even be enough to pay for gas."
"If there is a capable person, he can earn 200,000 or 300,000 yuan by mining gold for a month. Wouldn't you envy him? Isn't that amazing?"
"Oh, if one day, individual mining is allowed, I will go and do it for a year, then earn some money to marry a wife, and then live a happy life! That kind of life is so beautiful just thinking about it!"
The old man looked at Banggeng, licked his lips and said, "Why? Are you interested? Do you want to learn?"
Banggeng nodded, and the old man said, "Come, I will teach you how to make gold out of this sand."
After that, the old man stood up, stretched his body and said, "Come on, add the material first, and then shake it regularly, yes, not bad."
"You can go faster at the beginning, yes, but slower at the end, how about that? Easy, right?"
"That's it. Just learn it. I'll tell you how to find gold in these sands."
Someone on the other side said, "Look at Old Goldhead, he's trying to trick the new guy into working for him again!"
The man next to him said without even looking up, "I'll give you some free time. Just do your job."
In this way, during this period of time, Banggeng would come to Lao Jintou to learn how to find gold, how to refine gold, etc.
That day, Bang Geng was called out and came to the door of a house and said, "Come in, someone is here to see you."
As soon as he entered the house, he saw his mother Qin Huairu and Ye Shu waiting for him inside.
Bang Geng said excitedly: "Mom, why are you here?"
"Silly child! How could I not come to see you when you've been in such a big trouble? Are you stupid? If you want to eat meat, write to me and tell me. I'll send you the money and tickets, and you can just buy it and eat it!"
"Fortunately, the villagers have forgiven you. Ten years has now become three years. If you behave well, you can be released earlier!"
After Qin Huairu and Ye Shu got on the train, she couldn't stop crying when she thought of Banggeng's appearance.
She was reading Ye Shu and had already laid down on the berth. She didn't bother him, but just looked out the window, feeling sad.
After Banggeng returned home, he felt very complicated, because he knew how much his mother had sacrificed for this family.
Therefore, he must learn the skills of gold panning well, and then go out and find a place to pan for gold. Just thinking about his future life is a bit exciting!
Bang Geng thought of Ye Shu and cursed in his heart, what a shitty uncle-in-law! It's fine that he didn't help his family before, but he's still unwilling to help his family after marrying his aunt. What kind of a thing is he?
Isn't it just a little bit of medical skills? What's so great about it? When I have money in the future, I can have any kind of doctor I want.
Thinking of this, he pouted a few times and wondered if he was crazy. Why did he go to the doctor for no reason?
With the dream of getting rich, he worked very hard in the mine. As long as there were skilled people, he would be willing to help them. He thought of various ways and learned all the skills of gold mining.
