Because this land is the hardest to chew.
First of all, the soil quality of this land is very compact and the geological structure is very complicated, which is particularly difficult to dig. And because the line is just below a flight of stairs, the brothers and sisters have to dig deeper to get through here. However, Tao, who was participating in the militia at that time, contracted this unwanted lot in the spirit of not being afraid of hardship.
Therefore, she came to the gardening field early that day and began to continue her work. They dug all afternoon, and my cousin let Tao almost go back to rest. Tao felt that the sun had just set and the weather was a little cold, so he simply dug again. As a result, she went down with a shovel, and Tao Jinlan's jaws hurt with a bang.
Tao thought it was a stone and thought it would be better to break it and take it out, so he clenched the shovel again and went down with another shovel. After the sound of "kua", the shovel really plunged in. Tao Jinlan looked intently and found it was a big clay pot.
Tao Jinlan quickly put the shovel back, and as a result, a large piece of glistening silver dollar flowed out like a flood. Tao Jinlan quickly stepped back and asked his cousin to come and have a look.
Tao was born in 1964, 1982, 18 years old. Her cousin is only in her early twenties. Where have they seen this kind of silver dollar? Although they were worried, on second thought, since they were buried so deep in the soil, they must be some treasures.
Not long after, Tao Dangmin always kept in mind the "something to report" rule given by the organization and immediately reported it to his superiors. Division sent someone to check it out. Dude, this place is full of silver dollars!
Silver dollar is what we commonly call "foreign". When Yuan Shikai was president, he invested a silver dollar, so he was also called "Yuan Datou" at that time. 1927, after the founding of the Nanjing National Government, a relatively unified standard for silver dollar casting was formulated, with a silver content of about 89%, a total weight of about 26.7 grams and a pure silver weight of about 23.5 grams.
After the excavation by Tao and others, this batch of silver dollars totaled 6798 1 piece, which is nearly 1.6 million grams of silver! At that time, the value reached 369,000 yuan, and now the value of pure silver has exceeded 65.438+0 billion yuan! This is not its historical significance and collection value!
However, knowing these silver dollars, Tao didn't want to keep them for himself at all. She thought that these silver dollars were probably earned by sucking the blood of ancestors and martyrs, so they should also be returned to the country and land they fought for.
So, Tao and his cousin unanimously decided to hand over all the nearly 70,000 silver dollars to the state free of charge. The state also awarded Tao and his cousin a banner, and one person rewarded 500 yuan with cash, won a third-class merit, and gave them bicycles and sewing machines.
In the 1950s, there was a saying that "three turns, one ring and four big pieces", that is, radios, watches, bicycles and sewing machines. At that time, as long as there was a small house and these four big pieces, it was already a wedding configuration.
Therefore, Tao's brothers and sisters also readily accepted this award, especially the third-class merit and the pennant, which made Tao most proud. And Tao is so selfless to continue to struggle on the road of doing good.
Later, she came to work in the Bureau of Retired Veteran Cadres and showed meticulous care for the elderly, which was well received by the old people. Later, with a meager income, she sponsored a student to graduate from elementary school to university, and the children she sponsored were grateful and often came to visit her.
Now I'm 56 years old and still playing Taujinlan, but my energy is still high. Whenever she mentions this past, her face will be filled with joy, and then she will show the visitors the banner she won that year. This banner is the most precious thing of Tao, and it still hangs on the wall of Tao's house, spotless!
