Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

The next day.

Qin Xifeng got up early in the morning and went to the river to fetch water. When he came back, he tripped over something.

His balance is now very good, it is impossible for him to fall, and he did not even spill the water in the bucket.

"What tripped me?"

Turning back and looking closely, the thing that tripped him just now was shining in the sun. He immediately laughed, put down the bucket and bent down to pick it up. It was really not light.

This is a piece of "dog head gold" with honeycomb-shaped pits on the surface and a very round body.

The herdsmen in the village often step on cow dung when walking, but he often stumbles over gold when walking.

"No, now you've got the reward!"

What else is there to say? The system always likes to pull tricks like this. So he walked back to the yurt with a bucket in one hand and a gold nugget in the other.

While having breakfast, he told his father and mother about the gold nugget he picked up.

"Xifeng, are you just out of luck? Our people have been grazing here for generations, so not many people can pick up something like this. By the way, I heard that if you pick up gold nuggets, you have to turn it in?"

Atik always knew that his youngest son had good luck, but he didn't expect it to be so good!

Picking up the gold nugget was naturally something to be happy about, but how to deal with it gave him a bit of a problem.

"Abba, I am just unlucky! There are no rules on whether I have to hand over the gold nuggets I picked up. It's not like I dug mines secretly."

There are not many news reports in China about people picking up gold nuggets. There is considerable controversy as to whether they must hand it over.

Qin Xifeng remembered that he later made it clear that he would hand it over voluntarily.

If you hand over your resources, the bank will purchase it according to the gold purchase price at that time. The current gold purchase price is 96.46 yuan per gram. Although his gold nugget is not pure enough, it weighs 6 kilograms. It can be sold for hundreds of thousands.

No problem.

But the value of nugget gold is not calculated in this way. Generally, if someone bids for it, it will definitely be much higher than the unit price of pure gold.

In other words, at present, the value of this gold nugget is about 1 million yuan.

"Xifeng, this thing is eye-catching. It's fine if you keep it for yourself. Will there be any trouble if you take it out and sell it?"

Atik is not an old-fashioned person. As long as he does not violate the laws, he will not force Qin Xifeng to hand over the gold nugget.

But he is still worried about the follow-up problems.

"What to sell? How about keeping it for yourself and collecting it?"

Qin Xifeng had never been short of money, and it was not like he had never had rich days before, that was all.

There is another problem. At this point in time, there are many things that are unclear. If you pick up the nugget gold and keep it for yourself, it will be fine. If you sell it, you might get into trouble.

Therefore, he thought it was better to keep it for now. If not, it would be good to keep it as a family heirloom, which could be passed down to his descendants in the future.

"Well, then you can keep it. Don't talk about it everywhere, do you hear me?"

Atik saw that Qin Xifeng had thought carefully, so he didn't say anything more. However, he still gave a warning to prevent the young man from showing off in ignorance.

"I understand, Dad. By the way, I plan to buy some more pregnant ewes. Our family has too much feed reserves this year. Would it be a shame not to take the opportunity to increase the number of sheep?"

Qin Xifeng actually had a lot of cash in his hand, especially since he was awarded 10,000 yuan in cash this time. It would be useless for him to keep the money.

Usually his biggest expense is the money spent on flour and clear oil. He will not treat Zhang Meng and Radil badly when they help him work.

He basically doesn't have to worry about the family's living expenses, as his grandmother arranges them in an orderly manner.

The temporary expenses are not large, and Qin Xifeng cannot spend all the money he has saved. Therefore, he plans to add some more ewes. If most of them can become pregnant, the number of sheep in the flock will increase significantly next year.

After listening, Atik nodded silently.

At this time, grandma suddenly spoke: "Xifeng, how much money do you need to buy a sheep, I will give it to you."

"No need, grandma, I still have money left over from selling sheep last time, and the cooperative unit has always given me subsidies, so I saved them all."

Qin Xifeng smiled and waved his hand, finding an excuse and declining.

"Okay, you can figure it out on your own. It's good to add more ewes. After the New Year, betrothals will be arranged. If the flock expands, your life will be easier after you get married."

Atik winked at his mother, telling her not to force herself.

The eldest son has already separated and is single, and the couple will leave everything they own to their younger son.

"Well, Xifeng, if you don't have enough money, you can always come to grandma to get it."

Grandma said with a smile and stopped caring about these things.

Had breakfast.

Atik went to herd herds, while Qin Xifeng took the falcon for a circle between Mountain Pass No. 4 and Mountain Pass No. 5.

Near the No. 5 mountain pass, he also met a group of soldiers from Tuhongjiang.

"Xifeng, there are often people moving near the border recently. If you have time, please hang around the No. 4 mountain pass more often. Please."

Qin Xifeng chatted with the soldiers for a while, and squad leader Yu pulled him aside and informed him of a situation.

There are various signs that the calm days will not last long, and someone is secretly planning some action.

There was insufficient specific information, so Squad Leader Yu just spoke in general terms.

"Okay, I will talk to everyone in the village when I go back and ask everyone to be more vigilant. If there are any abnormal situations, I will report to you in time."

Qin Xifeng nodded. There will always be problems of one kind or another on the border. It is necessary to maintain the necessary vigilance.

Afterwards, he separated from the soldiers and returned the same way.

When I got home, it was already afternoon.

At this time, Atik had not returned from grazing, so he rested in his yurt for a while, and then continued to carve and polish jade ornaments and bracelets.

These two things were basically completed, and he was going to give them to Gulidan quietly before the engagement ceremony.

In the evening, he put away his tools and materials and was about to go to his father's place for dinner when he saw Gulidan running over on horseback.

"West Wind..."

Gulidan jumped off his horse and ran all the way.

Qin Xifeng opened his hands, and the other party flew into his arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

"Have you eaten yet?"

Qin Xifeng hugged her and spun her around, then gave her a kiss and then put her down.

"I haven't eaten yet. I told my grandma that we won't have dinner at home tonight. Let's eat baked buns together later, okay?"

Gulidan smiled slightly, then ran over and took a bag from the horse. The bag contained baked buns that she had just made in the afternoon.

"Okay, but I have to go and tell my grandma quickly to prevent her from cooking for me again."

Qin Xifeng immediately called Atik, who had just returned home, and his mother was about to prepare dinner.

He first said that he would not go to eat, and then repeated what squad leader Yu said.
