Sun Mantang was a very kind old man who lived next door to Ma Xiaodong.
Ma Xiaodong had been very naughty when he was young and had broken many things in Sun Mantang's house. However, Sun Mantang had always laughed it off and never punished Ma Xiaodong.
"Thank you, Grandpa Tang Tang. I haven't seen you for a few years, and your body is getting stronger and stronger.”
Smiling, Ma Xiaodong took the basket of rations and picked up three big fish.
In the mountain village, it was nothing new for neighbors to help each other.
Your house is out of soy sauce. Go to your neighbor's house and borrow some soy sauce.
Tomorrow, if the neighbor's stove went out, he would come to your house to pick up a briquet that was burning brightly.
This was a very common thing.
"What a big carp! Xiaodong, where did you catch this carp?”
Sun Mantang didn't act pretentious. He took the basket and smiled.
Ma Xiaodong pointed to the back of the mountain and smiled.""We caught it from the horseshoe bend on the mountain. There's also a king catfish that weighs about 100 pounds. When my parents come back for the new year, our families will have a meal and a catfish feast.”
"That's good."
Sun Mantang couldn't stop smiling. He kept praising how different university students were. The fish they raised could even reach 100 pounds.
Ma Xiaodong felt a little ashamed.
It was true that he was the one who put the catfish in the back mountain.
But he didn't care at all.
As the two of them were talking, a little kid suddenly ran in and hid behind Sun Mantang. He peeked his head out to peek at Ma Xiaodong.
"Grandpa Tang, are these little black beans? You've grown so big?"
"Yes, this is Little Black Bean. When you went to university, the little guy was only a month old. Now, he's running all over the village.”
Sun Mantang pulled Little Black Bean and pointed at Ma Xiaodong. He smiled and said,""Black Bean, this is your brother Xiaodong, the only university student in our village. He used to hug you when you were young.”
"Brother Xiaodong, can I pet the two big white geese?”
From the moment he entered the courtyard, Little Black Bean's eyes had never left the two big white geese.
These two pests were too ferocious. When the children in the village heard their cries, they were so scared that they fled in all directions.
They had never expected that the two terrifying white geese would actually be subdued by Ma Xiaodong and follow him home.
In the village, sometimes the goose was better at guarding the house than the dog.
"Of course you can."
" Da Bai, Xiao Bai, come here."
Ma Xiaodong called out.
The two big white geese raised their noble heads and swaggered to Ma Xiaodong's side.
"Be obedient and lie down."
With Ma Xiaodong's order, the two big white geese laid down obediently, their heads drooping to the ground.
"Little Black Bean, come and touch me. It's okay. Don't be afraid. With me here, they won't dare to twist you.”
Little Black Bean carefully walked over and hid behind Ma Xiaodong. It stretched out its little hand to touch Little White's head.
Little White was a little reluctant. It opened its mouth and wanted to twist Little Black Bean's hand.
"Xiao Bai, be obedient."
Ma Xiaodong scolded, and Xiaobai immediately became obedient.
Little Black Bean was too excited. He finally touched the heads of the two big white geese. In the future, he could finally show off with his friends.
"Black Bean, let's go."
"Xiaodong just came back from the establishment, so she must be very tired. Don't disturb Xiaodong from resting.”
Despite his reluctance, Little Black Bean was still dragged away by Sun Mantang and left Ma Xiaodong's house.
After sending Sun Mantang and his grandson off, Ma Xiaodong began to fiddle with the well.
In the corner of the courtyard, there was a dry well.
What was a dry well?
It was the kind of reservoir that was unique to rural areas and was no more than three meters deep.
There was a windlass at the mouth of the well. A rope was wrapped around the windlass, and a wooden bucket was tied to one end of the rope. The wooden bucket was used to hold water. A person could stand at the mouth of the well and shake the windlass to take out the water from the well.
Ma Xiaodong turned on the livestream and started to get water from the windlass.
"Damn it! What is the host doing?"
"It's obvious that they're drawing water. I've seen a TV drama called 'The Windlass Woman and the Well'.”
Ma Xiaodong's use of the windlass to draw water attracted the attention of everyone in the live broadcast room.
Soon, a bucket of water was brought up.
The water was still clear, but Ma Xiaodong poured it out and continued to fill the second bucket.
When he was about to fill the second bucket, Ma Xiaodong casually sprinkled a handful of broken buns into the bucket.
"What is the host doing? Why did he have to sprinkle the broken buns into the bucket?”
Ma Xiaodong didn't read the comments, so he could guess that someone would definitely ask.
He threw the bucket into the well, and Ma Xiaodong smiled.""Let's keep everyone guessing first. When the second bucket of water comes up, I'll tell everyone why I scattered the broken buns in the bucket.”
The number of people in the live broadcast room increased, and soon it exceeded 500.
Li Hu was a carpenter and a part-time antique dealer. He didn't earn much from being a carpenter, but he made a lot of money by selling antiques.
As usual, Li Hu had nothing better to do. He opened the fast-track and clicked on a few videos. He was attracted by a live broadcast.
"Where is this village? He was too poor. He didn't even have running water, but he still used a windlass to get water.”
"However, this windlass looks a little special.”
"Look at these wooden patterns. Could this be red sandalwood?!”
Li Hu's eyes widened as he stared at the windlass on the screen. He almost lost his breath.
"That's right! It's red sandalwood. Such a big windlass is actually made of red sandalwood. This streamer is so extravagant.”
Li Hu secretly estimated the value of Ma Xiaodong's windlass to be at least 500,000.
In order to prevent himself from making a mistake, Li Hu went to the antique shop and found his grandfather.
Old Master Li only took a glance at the live broadcast and immediately concluded that this was red sandalwood.
"Kid, you're really lucky. You actually found an antique while watching a live broadcast. Grandpa wants to test you.”
Old Master Li stroked his beard and smiled.
"I estimate it to be 500,000 yuan. This is a high-quality rosewood with a history of at least 100 years.”Li Hu said.
Old Master Li looked at him deeply and smiled."Brat, you only know one thing and don't know the other.”
"It's true that this windlass is made of 100-year-old red sandalwood, but what's more valuable is its decorative patterns. Did you notice the dragon head carved on the windlass? This is the work of a master."
"This windlass is worth at least a million.”
Li Hu gasped.
"What is it? A million? Hehe, I've made a killing."
Li Hu was overjoyed and immediately sent Ma Xiaodong a gift.

The Li family's big tiger sent a Piercing Arrow.

Li Hu tipped ten Piercing Arrows in one go, and the netizens praised him.
"Streamer, I want to buy your windlass. I'll pay 100,000 yuan. Please give me your contact information and I can transfer the money now.”
Li Hu's comment caused an uproar in the live broadcast room.
