The things that didn't require tickets were too expensive, and she only had a little over one dollar on her, which was not enough to buy them.
Tian Tian didn’t think it was a big deal that she didn’t have money to buy things. In her previous life, she went shopping and bought so many things that she couldn’t afford, but she still lived a good life.
She had only experienced those expensive luxury goods at the end of the world, and she felt that they were just so-so, not even as good as the things that cost her just a few dozen dollars.
She is not a rich person and cannot understand the mentality of rich people.
Tian Tian walked around for a while, but found that she couldn't afford anything, so she gave up and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
After going out, she squatted at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative and thought for a while, and finally decided to go to the scrap yard to take a look.
After all, the scrap yard is the place where the heroine of the novel must go when hunting for treasure, and every time they can find very valuable antiques and wood in it.
Tian Tian also wanted to try her luck. Maybe she could find jewelry or gold, and then she could rest easy for the rest of her life!
The original owner's memory contained information about the scrap yard. The original owner was a careful girl and would often go to the scrap yard to search for discarded notebooks and books in order to save money.
You can often find blank notebooks with only a few pages written on them. There are also very clean and tidy books, but books are very expensive nowadays, and it is rare to find textbooks.
Even the original owner's junior high school textbooks were found by her in a scrap yard.
Tian Tian went to the scrap yard with ease.
On the way, she looked at the surrounding environment very attentively, trying to find the real location of the black market.
But Tian Tian will be disappointed. Since the black market is called the black market, it is a shameful place. Naturally, I can't set up a stall openly on the street and say that I am from the black market.
It must be in a very hidden and untraceable place. Tian Tian looked around so much that she couldn't even see the shadow of the black market.
Tian Tian didn’t really want to look for the black market, she just looked around casually, and if she couldn’t find it, then she wouldn’t find it.
Tian Tian followed the path in her memory and soon found the scrap yard.
This scrap yard is quite conspicuous. Although it is an ordinary brick and tile yard, an entire wall has been replaced by a large rusty iron gate. To the right of the iron gate is a small room where an old man is sitting reading a newspaper.
It can be seen that the big iron gate is locked all year round. The wheels under the door are a little rusty. There is another small door next to the big iron gate for people to enter and exit.
Tian Tian walked over, leaned over the glass of the cabin and knocked on the window, "Grandpa!"
The old man who was looking after the scrap yard inside might be a little hard of hearing, and Tian Tian had to call out many times before he heard her.
He lowered the newspaper a section, revealing a pair of cloudy eyes behind glasses, staring at Tian Tian for a while to determine.
He smiled with some surprise and said, "It's you, little girl? You haven't been here for a while!"
The original owner had come here many times before to look for unused notebooks, and had become familiar with the old man who opened the door. The old man recognized the original owner at first sight.
"Grandpa Sun! Long time no see!" Tian Tian also pretended to be familiar with the old man Sun and said.
The original owner didn't know Old Man Sun's name, he only knew that he had a good family background. He was a soldier in the army when he was young, his son was a factory manager, and his daughter also worked in the government. He came here to be the gatekeeper of the scrap station purely because he was retired and couldn't sit still, so he came to the scrap station to kill time.
"You're here to look through the notebook again, right? I left it for you a long time ago, but you haven't come here for several years? I thought you would never come here again." Old man Sun opened the door of the hut and let Tian Tian in to talk.
He had a very deep impression of Tian Tian. Although people are very careful nowadays, he did not go to the scrap yard to find blank notebooks to use.
A pretty and well-behaved girl like Tian Tian, who was able to humble herself and go to the scrap yard to look for something, would definitely not be forgotten by old man Sun.
Even though Tian Tian hadn't been here for several years, Old Man Sun could still recognize her.
"There are more and more notebooks and books in recent years. In the past, I couldn't read books even if I wanted to. Now, the status of scholars is even lower. I don't know what happened to the world in recent years. It's very chaotic. By the way, Tian Tian, are you still studying now?"
Tian Tian looked at the furnishings in the cabin while listening to Old Man Sun chattering.
The room was not big, only a few square meters, with a single bed, a desk, a chair, and an iron stove in the middle of the room, with a chimney leading directly to the outside. There was also a kettle sitting on the iron stove with water boiling in it.
Although the house is small, it is very warm.
Listening to Old Man Sun's question, she shook her head and said, "I'm not going to school now. I've been staying at home since I graduated from junior high school. I want to go to high school, but my mother thinks the school is too chaotic. It's not safe for a girl like me to study alone in school, so she told me to wait a few years before deciding."
Old Man Sun nodded and said, "Your mother's worries are justified. The school has become increasingly desolate in recent years. Students don't study hard at school. They walk around the streets with red armbands every day. I don't know what they are trying to achieve."
He squatted down, holding his thighs, lifted the bed sheet, and pulled out two large wooden boxes from under the bed.
The box looked very heavy, so Tian Tian hurried over to help.
Pulling the entire box out stirred up dust all over the room.
Old man Sun sat on the bed and rested for a while, then opened the box, revealing a box full of books.
Tian Tian was a little shocked when she saw the books in the box. There were so many books, no wonder it was so heavy.
"Grandpa Sun, these books..." Tian Tian said hesitantly, and looked out the window a few times, worried that someone would find these books.
Old man Sun looked at the books and sighed quietly. He picked up a book and stroked the torn pages lovingly.
When he was a child, he was a cowherd. He had never been to school and could not read. In order to have a meal, he resolutely joined the army.
He had been seriously injured, fought for his life, killed many Japanese devils, accumulated a lot of military merits, and was promoted to a position of not too small or too small.
But he was illiterate, so he never took another step forward.
Later, when I got older, I retired and returned to work.
After working in the police station for a few years, my health couldn't take it anymore, so I retired. I even learned to read in the past few years.
After retirement, he stayed at home for a while, but couldn't stand the idleness, so he found a leisurely job at a scrap yard.
People nowadays are very careful. They believe in keeping things new for three years, old for three years, and mending them for another three years. They are reluctant to throw away things when they can no longer be used and will never throw them into the scrap yard.
