Chapter 220 Throwing it away? Isn't this also a taboo?
Gu Xiaoxi originally planned to donate fifty sets of desks and chairs to the school in Sanjiao Town Commune, but then she changed her mind and realized that with so few things, they could only decorate one classroom at most.
In comparison, it seems to be more meaningful if we can promote a village-run school.
Besides, she wants piglets!
It turned out that she had underestimated everyone's enthusiasm.
She said she needed 20 kilograms of wheat seeds and glutinous rice seeds each. In fact, people from several villages donated seeds, and the total amount was more than 160 kilograms.
Gu Xiaoxi was very fair and retreated half way.
She was supposed to collect a few goose eggs, but in the end she collected more than 200.
Fortunately, no one wanted too many saplings than she wanted, so she collected all that could be collected.
At eleven o'clock, the two little piglets she wanted arrived.
Seeing the villagers moving the desks and chairs away with great care, Gu Xiaoxi felt a sense of accomplishment.
What made her even happier was that when she watched them leave, she actually gained fifty merit points.
She turned around and sat back next to Lu Jiansen and continued collecting old things.
Lu Jiansen tacitly took a cardboard box, packed up the old things he had collected on the ground, and put them back into the tent at the back.
Seeing that the number of people lining up to donate old items was decreasing, Li Kun asked quietly, "Sister-in-law, after three o'clock, can we also use our points to exchange for things? I want to send a quilt back to my mother."
When Gu Xiaoxi heard this, he was moved and nodded immediately.
"Okay. How about this? Go get a notebook and ask all your comrades what they want. Then you sign up and record the total points."
"We don't charge any money. When you return to the army, they will slowly pick up some unwanted old items and make up the points. When the time comes, you can hand over the old items to Lu Jiansen when you are not in training."
"We will prepare the items you registered and then send them all home in one package."
When Li Kun heard this, his eyes suddenly turned red.
My sister-in-law is so nice!
He actually thinks about them in every way.
Zhui Zi, who was relatively silent behind him, also felt a little sad.
My sister-in-law is so nice!
Lu Xiangqian was also very moved, and he was smart, so he immediately asked: "Sister-in-law, if this happens, won't you and our Lu Tuan lose a lot?"
Gu Xiaoxi smiled and waved his hands, "How is that possible? If you make good use of old things, you can save a lot of money. In the past few days, we also received a few old tires. Then I can make a few bicycles by myself."
"How much do you think a bicycle can be sold for?"
When Lu Xiangqian heard this, his eyes lit up, "Sister-in-law, there are still several discarded car tires in the logistics department of the army. Do you want them?"
Gu Xiaoxi nodded. "Any old stuff is fine. But you can't take public property without asking."
"I understand! Don't worry, sister-in-law!" Lu Xiangqian nodded solemnly.
When there were not many people in the line, Li Kun, Lu Xiangqian and Zhuanzi helped move the old goods away, and then went to find the warriors to count them.
After listening to his little girl's suggestion, Lu Jiansen thought it was a good idea.
He tried it several times last night, and the little bee logistics box was indeed useful. It would be perfect for collecting old items in the future, as it could be stored anytime and was kept secret.
Because the old-for-new exchange activity ended at 3 o'clock this afternoon, Gu Xiaoxi and his friends did not take the time to cook for themselves at noon and took turns eating instant noodles.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Gu Xiaoxi sent someone to deliver the message in advance so that new people would no longer have to line up to exchange their old items for new ones.
As a result, by around three o'clock, the long queue for ex-changing old items for new ones had almost ended.
Just as she was packing things and preparing to give packages to the soldiers in the army for them to send, Hu Zi hurried over.
He called Gu Xiaoxi aside, stuffed a bundle wrapped in old cloth into her arms, and bowed respectfully to her.
"Sister Gu, this is what my grandma asked me to give you. Thank you for curing my grandma's eyes."
Gu Xiaoxi was about to speak when Hu Zi quickly said, "Sister, put the things away first and read it quietly at night."
Gu Xiaoxi originally wanted to open it and take a look, but after hearing him say this, he nodded.
"Thank your grandma for me! If your grandma is still feeling unwell, you can come to Qingbei Military Hospital to see me. I'll be there one or two days a week."
"Thank you, sister. I'm leaving now." After saying that, Hu Zi turned around and was about to run.
Gu Xiaoxi quickly grabbed him and said, "Wait a moment."
After saying that, she turned around, took out an umbrella and a hand warmer from a cardboard box and handed them to him.
"It will rain this afternoon. If you get wet when you get home, you'll get sick. Take it! Go back quickly! You can't refuse it!"
"Well! Thank you, sister!" Hu Zi held the things in his hands cherishingly and ran away quickly.
Gu Xiaoxi took the bag to the room, opened it and took a look, and found that it was full of crumpled newspapers.
But once you touch it, you can tell there are a lot of things wrapped in the newspaper.
As he opened them one by one, Gu Xiaoxi's eyes were wide open.
Because, wrapped in these waste newspapers were gold and silver jewelry, including gold hairpins, gold hairpins, jade bracelets, jade pendants, jade pendants, gemstone necklaces, earrings, etc., there were dozens of them.
Hu Zi's family is so well-established?
Yes, since Grandma Huzi’s hair is so well maintained, I guess she must have had very good living conditions in the past.
It’s just that these days, these things have to be convenient to use, otherwise the conditions in his house wouldn’t be bad.
With mixed feelings, she put all her things into the junk store.
Afterwards, she went to the tent at the back and put the collected old items into the old item storage.
However, when her eyes fell on the two sacks of tablets, she began to worry again.
This is terrible. What should I do with this thing?
Throw it away? That's also taboo!
After she was resolved, she plucked up her courage, gritted her teeth, and put the two sacks of tablets directly into the second-hand goods warehouse.
She originally thought that the tablet would still be the tablet after the exchange, and it might even be replaced with a wooden board. However, a faint light flashed, and the tablet disappeared, and it was not replaced with a new one, but she actually got 900 merit points.
Gu Xiaoxi's expression was stunned. How could it be like this?
Looking at my merit points again, I found that they had accumulated to 2186, which was a new high.
However, she felt a little embarrassed at this moment, because she had only given two bars of soap to the lady who delivered the tablet.
Now, she really felt like a big profiteer!
To make up for it, she decided to do something for the Sanjiao Town Commune.
After much deliberation, she finally took out all the traditional homemade medicines she had on her, bought a bunch of common medicines at the exchange mall, and used a packaging machine to carefully prepare 120 medicine boxes.
