Chapter 17: December 1993 Sky Light

December 1993 Sky Light

The old man took out a pair of pliers and cut a notch on the coin, and looked at it for a while: "It doesn't look like the purity, but the gold content of such a large piece is definitely not low. Where did you get this gold nugget?"

"Our ancestors!" My dad Throwing out the answer that I had discussed with me earlier, I couldn't wait to take the gold coins from the old man's hand.

"Your gold nugget is impure, and there are impurities in it. You have to send it to a processing factory to refine it before it can be made into a serious gold tool. If you sell it or not, I will charge it at a preferential price." Reluctant to move away.

"How much do you charge?"

"It depends on the weight and the gold content. Your gold lump exceeds 40 grams, and the gold content is not low. At 70 yuan per gram of gold, after deducting the processing fee, I estimate that it can sell for more than 2,000 yuan. "

How much?" My dad's eyes widened, he didn't expect this gold coin to be so valuable.

"More than 2,000, I'm still not sure about the gold content. I see that the fineness is calculated by 30 grams. If you want, I will accept it here at 2,300." The old man seemed extraordinarily generous. Come and see.

My dad shook his head into a rattle. He wasn't stupid. How could Huang Chengcheng's lump of gold be only three-quarters of gold? The old man was obviously lying to him, and he planned to ask elsewhere.

The old man was a little flustered, and raised the price a little more twice, but my dad didn't move at all, and directly pulled me out.

We didn't go to other gold shops, but went straight home. Huang Chengcheng's gold coin surprised my mother too. When we thought that this little thing was worth two or three thousand yuan, we were so happy that we couldn't even think about it.

My father and my mother kept asking me where the gold coins came from, but I didn't tell them, or even forbid them to ask, they have accumulated a lot of questions, from the yellow lilac seeds to the ginseng potatoes, the "rural classmates" in my mouth have never been I have never shown up, and now I have taken out the gold coins, and I don't use the rural classmates as an excuse, but their curiosity is growing day by day.

How to exchange gold coins for cash is a big problem at the moment, or my mother is more capable. She asked her family for help and successfully sold the gold coin at a price of 2,600 yuan through a distant relative who opened a gold shop.

2,600 yuan, my parents couldn't make so much money by opening a canteen for a few months. They counted and counted the thin stack of hundred-dollar bills in their hands. .

My parents borrowed a lot of money to open a grocery store before, but this time they paid it back, and there are even some leftovers.

Debt-free and light-hearted, this month is the month I have seen the most smiles on my parents’ faces in many years. They originally conservatively wanted to save the remaining hundreds of dollars for emergency use, but I still asked them to save the money. Spend it and improve our life.

This time, our family's food has been substantially improved. After a long time, milk and eggs have been included in our daily breakfast. My parents bought new clothes and added some knickknacks to the house. Our life Have a good time.

I actually want to tell my parents that although I can't get any more gold coins this year, if I'm lucky enough, I can get them again next year, and there's more than one, but I'm worried that such an upfront 'promise' will make them Feeling uneasy and even cranky, so continue to keep my secrets.

It is also my idea not to spend the remaining money from selling gold coins. Now the commissary is profitable, at least a little bit, but it is enough for our family to eat and wear without worry. I come from another world to bring things to our family. The days will only get better and better, there is no need to save money and deliberately embarrass yourself.

Besides, I'm growing, I need to eat more to grow tall and strong, and then get a job in that world and protect myself.

The homework in the third year of junior high was very heavy, and I still struggled to learn. Not only did my brain fail to catch up with other people, but my body was also thinner than others. The teacher in PE class said that I was like a primary school student, and everyone burst into laughter. I couldn't laugh, I was so sad that I wanted to cry.

I asked my dad why I haven't grown taller, am I a dwarf, or as others have said, I can't grow taller in the future, I'll turn into a dwarf.

"How can a dwarf be as tall as you?" My dad scoffed at my statement. He said that he had seen a dwarf. The dwarf's body shape is different from that of ordinary people, and the proportion of facial features can be seen to be different. It is the appearance of a normal child. At most, it develops a little later, but it will never grow taller.

But my dad's words can't appease me, my grandparents are short, my grandparents are not tall, he and my mother are both short, even if I grow like a normal person, I will be about the same as them at most. Will it even grow less than one meter five?

"Don't talk nonsense!" My dad just pumped the back of my head: "You drink milk every day, which is much more nutritious than when your mother and I were young, and you can definitely grow to one meter six!"

Haha, right? Even if he comforted me like that, I couldn't laugh at all.

After I begged again and again, my dad agreed to take me to the county hospital to see a doctor.

Before seeing the doctor, I passed by a children's clothing store and there was a sale. My dad also bought me new clothes. He and my mother bought new clothes this time, but I haven't worn any new clothes. , even he felt ashamed to take me outside.

Not only the clothes, but also the new shoes. The previous shoes were probably shrunk and punctured. The soles were cracked when I lifted my feet. This time I bought a pair of loose shoes, but they didn’t make my feet sore. .

"You are small and your feet are very big." My dad originally planned to buy shoes for me at the children's clothing store, but I didn't expect my feet to be size 38. There were no children's shoes on sale that I could wear. Finally, I went to the adult's shoe store. Just got a pair of shoes that fit.

I was much shorter than my dad, but had bigger feet than his, which made me even more depressed and felt like a dwarf with a big head and big feet who would never grow up.

My dad couldn't stand me crying, he rubbed my face several times, and told me a few lame jokes to make me laugh, but I couldn't laugh, he took off the old hat from my head that he wore when he was young Throw it away, and spend money to buy me a nice cotton hat. Now I have new clothes all over my body. When the salesperson hypocritically praised me for being good looking, I shrank my neck in shame.

These people who sell goods are too embarrassed to say anything in order to sell things.

"Don't be embarrassed, you are really good-looking." My dad looked around, he said that he never noticed that I was pretty and handsome before, so I guess he just let him.

I couldn't smile when I saw my dad's dark face, and I thought he was cursing me because I didn't want to be like him at all.

I went to the county hospital to sign up, I was so sick that I couldn't breathe, I was going to see the doctor, he would tell me that I was sick, I couldn't grow up in my life, I could only go to the circus and play tricks in funny clothes ...

The doctor who treated me was a female doctor, about 30 or 40 years old, and she spoke very kindly: "What a handsome child, why are you uncomfortable?"

My dad took me to a chair and said embarrassedly, "Child He's thirteen years old, he's in the third year of junior high school, he's not too old, he's a little worried, doctor, let me see if there's any problem with him... I'm not tall either." The

doctor nodded: "I'm thirteen years old. ? It looks like a beautiful child with a tender face and a pure white face. It doesn't look like he is lacking nutrition... Come here and stretch out your hand."

I stretched out my hand.

"Yo! What's with the calluses? How do you take care of the children and let them do farm work?" The female doctor frowned.

"No no no! Our family is in the city, he cooks at home, how can we do farm work for him!" My dad waved his hand to clear the relationship.

Usually no one squeezes my hand, so I'm embarrassed, so I can only laugh flatteringly.

"Don't be afraid, little one," the doctor reassured me, while examining my palm and the back of my hand: "Look, your hand is bigger than mine, do you see?" She put her palm up, almost all of my five fingers were Half a knuckle longer than her.

"It's a little thin, but it doesn't look like there are parasites," the doctor instructed me to open my mouth: "Come on, say ah~~!"

"Ah~~!" I did.

"Yo! Your child's teeth are so white and so beautiful!" The female doctor made a fuss: "I have never seen such beautiful teeth in our county," she even called my dad: "Why are your son's teeth so neat and so beautiful? Is it inherited from the child's mother?"

"Haha, I didn't even notice it, it should be." My dad was a little shy, and he was very restrained in his speech, afraid to show his yellow teeth.

"Oh, what a beautiful boy!" The female doctor reached out and took off my hat: "How can I get a big bald head, look at your nose and eyebrows, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhll also will make you a handsome guy if you dress up a little!"

I was so embarrassed that I wanted to sew in the ground, and asked her awkwardly if I could still grow taller.

"I'll tell you that your child is completely fine." The female doctor showed my dad my hand: "Do you see this hand? Some children's palms grow faster than their bodies. Look at this hand, as long as your son's nutrition is fine, In the future, the most conservative will be a big man of 1.8 meters!"

"One...1.8 meters!?" My dad was stunned.

"How much?" My eyes widened too!

"What size shoes are you wearing now?" the female doctor asked me.

"Thirty-eight." I just bought the shoes, so I still remember the size.

"Look, his feet are still growing, remember to change them when they're too young, your son's head is the kind of head that jumps up quickly after age, and nutrition must keep up, otherwise it's easy to stunted and grow into thin bamboo poles. ." The

sudden surprise almost made me unable to find Bei, and I couldn't stop laughing while biting my lip: Can I grow 1.8 meters long?

"The child is in good condition, I will give you some probiotics to eat, pay attention to nutrition and exercise more, and also, put some hand cream on your hands, remember to wear gloves when you work, don't get hurt at a young age. Hand."

My dad and I left with a huge thank you, and I was overjoyed all the way home.

"Strange thing! Your teeth are really white, how come I didn't notice it before?" My dad knew that his and my mom's teeth were not good, neither neat nor white, but I didn't expect my teeth to be white and beautiful.

I don't know the reason. I never thought my teeth were white before, I just thought that it was probably related to my diligent brushing. In another world, I have no conditions to keep clean, so after I arrived in this world, I became a little bit more aggressive and brushed my teeth every morning and evening. , I immediately rinse my mouth after eating, I can't stand the smell in other people's mouths when I talk to them, and I can't stand the smell on my own body.

When I got home, my father told my mother the good news, and my mother was very happy. She never dreamed that her son could grow to be as tall as 1.8 meters. She was so happy that she hugged me directly to the ground with my feet off the ground. She said wait. I can't hold me when I grow to 1.8 meters.

I am so happy!

I always thought I was short, ugly and inconspicuous, but today the doctor told me that I can grow tall and be a handsome guy, which made me laugh out of my sleep.

In the following days, I worked hard every day, drinking milk in the morning and evening, not only eating eggs, but also paying a lot of money to buy beef, because I heard that people who eat meat can get strong, and I want to grow strong of.

My enthusiasm for sports is also unprecedentedly high. Every morning before dawn, I go out for a morning run after making breakfast. After running around the county town for a long time, I come back. After washing my body with hot water, I eat a hearty breakfast and relax. Get comfortable and go to school.

I’m still the shortest in the class, but I’m not worried at all. I’m very active in playing football and basketball in gym class. I’m like a little mouse running around all over the field. I’m more confident than them all, and I’ve been praised several times. .

But the other world is not so smooth.

There was a murder case in the village on the eve of the heavy snow closing the mountain. The three people in the village who were bitten by Labu last year sneaked out after hearing the strange barking of some kind of beast one night. They ignored the barking of the big dog in the village and ran to the other side of the river. eaten in the woods.

Three men, left in the woods with only a patch of blood and scattered bones.

The people in the village were shocked and angry. Many people formed a hunting team to go into the forest to hunt down and kill the bluff. But more people thought that the first snow was coming soon. This year is no longer suitable for fighting the bluff. The top priority is Prepare for the ritual of worshiping the gods. When the snow covers the mountains, the village will be safe. Even if Lahu is still alive, it will only be a matter of worry next year.

The villagers were so frightened that they couldn’t help but give up their homes, and they all gave up their residences and gathered to take turns to watch the night as last year to prevent the attack. Unexpectedly, the big dog disappeared at this juncture, and the villagers were so anxious that they sent a lot of people to the village. Searching around, but no sign of the big dog was found. Everyone was very sad. Some people said that the big dog might have been killed, and some people said that the big dog had left the village before the snow in winter. Maybe it was with him. The wolves outside met.

The first time I heard it, I didn't understand whether they were talking about dogs or wolves, and I didn't understand what the big dogs had to do with the wolves outside.

Everyone was worried about the only reliable "sheriff" in the village. Fortunately, the big dog came back after going out for three days. When he came back, he was unmoved by the joyful welcome from everyone. He crawled lazily to the fire to rest and did not go. Hurry to work and patrol.

I took out the hidden sausage and gave it to the big dog. After the big dog ate the sausage, he laid his head on my leg lazily and asked me to groom it.

"Big dog is pregnant," someone said.

How can a big dog get pregnant?

I have known Big Dog for more than a year, and only now did I realize that Big Dog has no dicks and is a bitch.

When I first learned this fact, I felt as stupid as being struck by lightning for a long time. I used to call the big dog "Ge Gou", but in retrospect I should have called it "Sister Gou".

After the big dog came back, the people in the village felt a lot more at ease. Although it was no longer actively patrolling as before, it was still very vigilant. The first to wake up.

Lahu appeared a few times far away from the village, but he never found a chance. After a while, he didn't appear again. The villagers still didn't let their guard down. It wasn't until the snow began to seal the mountain after the sacrifice to the gods that they let the villagers go back to their homes.

The big dog's belly is really getting rounder day by day. I have such a good relationship with her, and naturally I won't let her eat ginseng porridge to conceive a child. Most of the milk powder originally kept in the hut is boiled ginseng porridge and fed to it. Eat and expect it to give birth to a healthy and strong puppy.

The widow's son and daughter are also exposed to the light, and they sometimes come to me. Although the widow will scold after finding out, they don't care. Sometimes when I add food to the big dog, I will serve them more. They are very sweet.

The two of them are also grown-up children, but their thinness is the kind of thinness caused by obvious lack of nutrition. It is completely different from thinness like me, but what can I do other than give them something to eat occasionally?

There are many children in the village who are not hungry, but they are more or less malnourished. It is impossible to get enough protein and calories by relying on ginseng potato as the staple food. It is difficult to solve this problem in this closed village. question.
