Chapter 89 Treasures
Everyone sat down to eat watermelon, Zhang Xinyi said: "Zhou Zhi, take out your treasures and show them to everyone."
"Let's talk about it first, we can only I can’t take it.”
“It’s stingy.” Ye Xin said with a smile, “It’s really a treasure, isn’t it?”
“How about everyone go to my room.”

Zhou Zhi went to the kitchen to get a white porcelain plate and took them to his room. He also picked up a glass can bottle next to the big flower watering kettle and put it on his desk in his room.
"What is that watering can used for?" Zhang Xinyi asked.
"Uncle Yu is not downstairs, I am helping him water the flowers!"
"Water from the second floor to the first floor?"
"Yes!"
"..."
"Don't worry about that." Zhou Zhi poured all the pebbles in the bottle into the porcelain plate: "Let's look at this first."
"Wow! These are all gems. "Ye Xin's eyes were full of stars: "This is so beautiful!"
"You can say it's a gem." Zhou Zhi squatted down. He opened his bookcase and took out his collection: "Those are agates found along the Yangtze River. Have you all heard of the Nanjing Yuhua Stone? This is our Jiachuan Yuhua Stone."
These small stones The stones are not as big as the Nanjing Yuhua Stone. The largest ones are only as big as the thumb, and most are not as big as the knuckle of the little finger.
But it is the same type as Nanjing Yuhua Stone, and the colors are also extremely rich, including red, white, green, orange, and very few blue, purple, and yellow.
Every piece is crystal clear, and there are beautiful fold lines and small circles. Regardless of the color or pattern, they are all extremely beautiful.
“Is there still this one by the Yangtze River?” Ye Xin felt eye-opening: “We have been there so many times that we don’t know!”
“It’s gone now.” Zhou Zhi took out a piece Obsidian-like vitreous body: "I found this near the Rongshan gas well when I was in fifth grade. When I came back, I went to look for it on the pile of pebbles by the river. The result was I found agate hidden in those pebbles.”
“But it was not easy to collect them. Didn’t I have classes every Tuesday afternoon? I went to the riverside to turn over stones. They also searched after me. In one afternoon, each of them could only find one or two, and sometimes they could find four or five.”
"I found most of them myself, and some I exchanged with them. I only found half a can in five years."
"Then let's look for it sometime!" Ye Xin said .
“It’s gone now.” Zhou Zhi said: “The piles of small pebbles on the riverside are all broken up with big pebbles. There are no piles of small pebbles like before.”
"That's it..." Ye Xin was reluctant to leave. He put down the red agate in his hand: "It's really beautiful..."
"Shu Yi, come and take a look too." Zhou Zhi noticed that Jiang Shuyi was a little quiet: "Don't be formal, our family Very free.”
"Oh." Because the room was relatively small and the desks had just been surrounded, Jiang Shuyi was embarrassed to squeeze in.
“There are more.” Zhou Zhi took out the ore he collected.
"Is this gold?" Mu Ruyun was dumbfounded when he saw a few pieces of golden things. He picked them up and said, "It's really heavy!"
"This is called fool's gold. It's a lie. What a fool!" Zhou Zhi said with a smile. It's actually a kind of pyrite."
After speaking, he picked up the compass and pulled it on a piece of fool's gold a few times with his pointed toe. Sparks popped out, and then handed it to Mu Ruyun: "You. Smell it.”
Mu Ruyun put Fool's Gold to the tip of his nose: "Well, it really smells like sulfur!"
"This is real gold." Zhou Zhi took out a glass tube from the ore box: "In the sand "I found it."
After that, he took two more glass tubes: "This is mica, this is black iron sand."
The gold is just a little bit at the bottom in the glass tube. Mu Ruyun has never seen real gold. He turns the glass tube and looks at it carefully: "How much is this gold worth?"
"Look at it. Quite a bit." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Actually, I went to the water plant laboratory and weighed it, and it was only 1.8 grams."
"We have to consider the purity issue, so these are only about 80 yuan."
"Eighty yuan for such a small amount? This is very expensive!"
"The effort is even more expensive. "Zhou Zhi said: "It took me a whole summer to do this while swimming! "
"So these are really my treasures, no matter how much money I give you, you can still play them." Mu Ruyun looked at them with envy. Bits and pieces of the small wooden box: "It's much better than playing around when we were kids."
"Are you all here?" Yang He's voice sounded at the door: "Hello, Lao Mu, and some of the beauties from Class One."
"Please tell me clearly what an ordinary beautiful monk is!" Ye Xin immediately Seize the opportunity to fight back.
"You said it wrong, the beautiful girl, the beautiful girl in the liberal arts class." Yang He was an honest child, and what he said just now was really not meant to be a joke, and he was immediately at a loss: "Yes... I'm sorry... "
"Haha, monk, you can't help but be funny." Ye Xin turned around and said, "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, let's continue watching. Stone, Shuyi Xinyi, do you think this piece looks like a small forest inside..."
Zhou Zhi said: "Actually, these are just my efforts, and they are not very valuable to say the least. I heard that XJ and Inner Mongolia There are large stone beaches in the Gobi, and those stone beaches are all covered with agates like this.”
"Really?" Ye Xin asked, "Zhou Zhi, how do you know?" "Zhou Zhi has a box of magazines, all of which are comic books." Zhang Xinyi said.
Zhou Zhi pulled out a large wooden box from under the bed and opened it to find a picture album with a colorful cover. It was the magazine "Mystery" he ordered.
The magazine "Mystery" is actually about anecdotes from all over the world, various special popular science comics about geography, physics, astronomy, history, etc. They are all about aliens, flying saucers, the Soviet Union Stories about round warships, the battle between the Japanese army and crocodiles in the swamps during World War II.
It should be said that the quality is quite good, the painting work is also relatively exquisite, and it also includes various styles. Zhou Zhi and Yang He both like to see it.
Zhang Xinyi loves to read but is afraid of watching it, because after reading it, he always has nightmares, dreaming about the robot monsters and alien creatures on the cover of the magazine coming to catch him.
There have been magazines collected here for more than six years, more than seventy in total. Zhou Zhi took out one of them and opened it to the page inside: "Look, here, the geological team's inspection of XJ Devil City was mentioned. Agate Sea."
"Do you even remember this?" Ye Xin asked curiously.
“I’ve watched it so many times!” Yang He said that he also knew how to do this.
Several of them like reading, and they couldn’t put down "The Mystery" after picking it up.
Zhou Zhi collected the stones and said, "Let's talk about business while we watch. Let's go to Fubao after this summer vacation."
"Okay! Go to my house first! Then go to Lao Mu's house. !”
“How many days will it take? Do we have a plan?” Yang He asked.
"Lao Mu said that the road from Changzhen to the forest farm is quite fun..." Zhou Zhi touched his chin: "Otherwise, when we arrive in Fubao, we will rest at Ye Xin's house for a day, and then walk to Lao Let’s play in the forest farm for a few days and then come back.”
Mu Ruyun was a little stupid: "Well... we have to walk for at least a day and a half..."
"A day and a half is called traveling, not playing." Zhou Zhi said: "We bring pots, rice, noodles, oil and salt , we have a picnic every day, and play all the way from the town to the forest farm for three days, how about it?"
"What about sleeping at night?" Ye Xin was a little worried.
"Put up a tent! A big tent! But you can't tell your parents about this." Zhou Zhi said.
"You can also find farmers along the road." Mu Ruyun said: "This is not a problem. By the way, we made an appointment with Yan Xiao and Fang Wenyu last semester..."
"We must bring those two animals with us, otherwise it will be difficult for us to carry the rice, flour, oil, salt, pots and pans alone. Last semester, there were three other girls I dated, He Yongmei, Xiong Jiao, and Feng Xueshan. In addition to He Yongmei, Shu Yi, Ye Xin, Lao Mu, you guys I don’t know them, but they have good personalities... How many are there?”
“Eleven,” Jiang Shuyi said.
"Then let's tentatively decide on eleven." Zhou Zhi said: "It's still early anyway, I will slowly draw up a list of supplies. When the time comes...except for Lao Mu and Ye Xin, each of us will pay twenty yuan for the event. How about using the money to purchase supplies?”
“What about coming back?” Zhang Xinyi asked.
"Come back and ask my dad to find a car from the forest farm to take you out." Mu Ruyun felt that this was not a big deal at all.
Jiang Shuyi and Zhang Xinyi thought that they would just take a car to Ye Xin's house first, then take a car to Lao Mu's house, and simply play around the two houses.
I didn’t expect that the careful planning would turn out like this. We have picnics every day and live in tents at night. It’s exciting just thinking about it.
After being excited and worried about the disapproval of his family, the two looked at each other. Zhang Xinyi spoke first: "Zhou Zhi, you have to go talk to my mother."
"Yeah." Jiang Shu He also followed suit: "You have to talk to my mother."
Mu Ruyun suddenly felt bad again. What's going on? Did he take care of both mothers?
Another mother's voice sounded outside the door: "Why are you guys hiding in there? What time is it? Didn't you say you have to go to night study after dinner?"
"Ah yes!" Zhou Zhi led his classmates out: "It's time to eat!"
Zhang Xinyi first greeted his grandmother and mother: "Grandma, aunt."
Zhou Zhi introduced to his mother and grandma: "This is our squad leader, Lao Mu, Mu Ruyun; this is Ye Xin. They were admitted to the county high school from Fubao Town. Studying is very good.”
“This is what Jiang Shuyi told my mother last time.”
"Hello everyone." My mother said with a smile: "Shuyi is the daughter of Jiang Qiao and Du Yufen? I guess she is very beautiful. Her eyebrows and eyes are just like your mother's!"
"The nose is similar. Dad, it’s so thin and tall, I’ve passed all the good things on to you.”
Jiang Shuyi gave it to me! Mom blushed when she saw it: "Auntie is good...Grandma is good."
Grandma was also very happy to see it: "They are all beautiful and good girls. Xin is a smart girl at first glance!"
Everyone knows Ye Xin’s temperament. She is indeed a smart person, but it’s amazing to be able to see it at first sight.
Ye Xin also felt strange, but she was a familiar person, so she asked with a smile: "Then I will compare them all! Grandma, how did you tell?"
"You are wearing a thin hair tie. Craftsmanship only for skilled hands, good girl Do you know how to acupuncture?”
“Oh, you can see it!” Ye Xin was so proud: “Grandma is really discerning!”
