Thinking this, Gu Bin, who was next to him, said, "I want to go to the recycling center to find some old newspapers to wallpaper the walls. Do you want to come with me?"

Gu Bin nodded, "Okay, let's go. We have some time now, so I'll go check out this legendary scrap metal recycling station!"

When Gu Bin was still in Beijing, he knew that many people would go to scrap yards to find good stuff. He was young then and wanted to go too.

But her mother stopped her, saying, "Are you stupid? Beijing is a place full of trouble, and many people are watching you. Besides, what good stuff would end up in a junkyard? Nobody's stupid. What good stuff would be left in a junkyard for you to pick up? Even if you're incredibly lucky and happen to find something good, are you sure you can take it with you? Won't it cause trouble for your family?"

Gu Bin wasn't stupid; he understood immediately after his mother said that, and quickly promised not to go there again.

From then on, Gu Bin gave up the idea of ​​going to the scrap yard, but now he was in the countryside! There weren't as many things to do here as in the capital, and no one would pay attention to him. He could totally go and check out the legendary scrap yard!

Is it true, as others say, that there are good things everywhere?

Although the two hadn't discussed it, they both felt that they might find treasure there, so they went to the scrap yard with great excitement!

The recycling station was huge. An old man sitting in the shade at the entrance saw the two of them, raised his eyelids, and lazily asked, "What are you doing here?"

After locking his car, Gu Bin stepped forward and greeted him with a smile, "Grandpa, good afternoon! We are educated youth sent to the countryside. We'd like to find some old newspapers to use for wallpapering the walls. Is that alright?"

The old man looked the two up and down, and seeing that they did indeed look like educated youth, he nodded and said, "Go in. Remember not to rummage through the neatly arranged piles at the back. There are plenty of old newspapers in the piles at the front, so find them yourself!"

When Gu Bin and Xie Yan entered, they saw piles of things, messy and dirty. They were both quite disappointed. That's it! They were completely let down!

Xie Yan simply couldn't understand it! These were clearly piles of junk, truly junk. How did the heroines in those novels from that era find treasures in them? Unless their stuff wasn't like this, if everything was like this, how could those heroines still find so many good things? They deserved to find them!

I really can't bring myself to do it at the thank-you banquet!

Seeing this scene, his first thought was to leave. He couldn't stand the filth and chaos at all! He wouldn't even want to read newspapers if it meant spending money on them!

Help! Xie Yan frantically tried to come up with a perfect excuse to leave.

Xie Yan tried countless methods, but they all failed. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and go inside! It was so painful, he had no idea where to start!

Looking at Gu Bin's expressionless face, Xie Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Gu Bin is truly remarkable! People who have seen the world are different from him!"

Look, he didn't even frown, and just walked forward with a normal expression!

Even a young master like him is in this state, what can Xie Yan do? He can only force himself to walk inside, find a slightly better place, hold his breath and painfully start searching!

Gu Bin, who was behind him, was actually suffering inwardly! He kept glancing at Xie Yan out of the corner of his eye, waiting for Xie Yan to show that he didn't want to go in, so that he could just go along with it and not go.

This is a complete junkyard! He walked around disgustedly, looking at things and occasionally kicking them. He thought his mother was right; nobody was stupid enough to believe that anything good would end up in a place like this.

Xie Yan also bowed his head and shook it twice, raising a cloud of dust, and took two steps back. This was simply unacceptable!

He looked at the mountain of garbage in front of him with a troubled expression, then suddenly remembered his spatial storage. He scanned it directly, not expecting much, since there were no newspapers or other items in his storage. Xie Yan didn't think there would be any in this place.

Xie Yan had already decided that if there was nothing left, they would just head home and buy some newspapers to wallpaper the walls.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected gain. Xie Yan was extremely shocked when he saw the red dots. There were actually medical books here. He really didn't expect that!

Xie Yan casually flipped through the red dots and soon found the books. Although some were tattered, none were missing. A few had their covers covered, and Xie Yan didn't know what kind of medical books they were.

Xie Yan looked around and, finding no one, secretly moved the books directly into his spatial storage while rummaging through other people's things.

After finishing, Xie Yan breathed a sigh of relief. There were newspapers nearby, and although they were dusty, they looked brand new. Xie Yan picked them up and casually flipped through them, finding a few books, which were high school textbooks, quite complete. Although Xie Yan wasn't planning to take the college entrance exam, he still put them with the newspapers, just in case he needed them later.

Xie Yan didn't look at anything else; these newspapers were enough for him to wallpaper the walls of several rooms. He patted the dirt off his hands, took the newspapers and books, and went to the front to pay.

Gu Bin followed Xie Yan in the direction he was heading. He hadn't picked up anything and hadn't lifted a finger the whole time, so he looked clean, unlike Xie Yan, whose hands were covered in dust!

After paying, Xie Yan washed his hands at the old man's place. Although the old man looked at Xie Yan with disdain after hearing his request, he still kindly pointed out the faucet to Xie Yan. Xie Yan felt very embarrassed by the old man's gaze and quickly finished washing his hands.

They got on their bikes and sped away quickly. The old man's eyes were still quite piercing; Xie Yan even suspected that he might be a veteran who had retired from the battlefield.

Gu Bin also confirmed Xie Yan's guess. His grandfather was a soldier, so he had seen many soldiers who had come from the battlefield since he was a child. The old man just now was very disgusted with Xie Yan's washing his hands. Some of his actions revealed his identity.

When Xie Yan found out, he breathed a sigh of relief. No wonder he felt uneasy under the old man's gaze. He hadn't expected Jiang Ran to be a veteran!

Xie Yan greatly admires soldiers, especially those of this era, who are heroes forged in the crucible of war.

On the way back, the two of them sped up considerably. Xie Yan arrived home at just past two o'clock. It was the height of summer, and after parking the car, Xie Yan quickly went inside.
