Lin Yue's face turned pale, blue, and finally red.
Luo Qianyu looked at her with a smile, very politely:
"Thank you, Comrade Lin, for speaking out for justice."
Lin Yue's eyes were a little evasive. She pursed her beautiful red lips and did not respond.
She patted Lu Jiuchuan's hand again and said with a smile:
"Keep up the good work in the future. Respecting women is not something to be ashamed of. It is a rare virtue for a man to love his wife."
"Some people don't get the love and care from their husbands, so they can't help but feel jealous and can't stand seeing others do better than them, so they can only gossip about them. Please understand."
Lu Jiuchuan responded cooperatively with a "OK".
The blush on Lin Yue's face faded, and she turned her head slightly and pretended to look at the things on the shelf.
The two salesmen were not convinced and argued with her with glared eyes:
"Who is jealous of you?"
"We are ten thousand times happier than you. Why should we be jealous of you?"
Luo Qianyu glanced at their faces indifferently and smiled innocently:
"To be fair, if you really don't want your husband to care about you during your period and make you some brown sugar water, just ignore what I said."
"Half a pound of nougat and fruit candy, and one pound of rice cake. Please, 'Serve the People' salesman, help me pack them separately. Thank you."
Her lack of acceptance made the naive salesperson very angry, but she didn't know how to respond and ended up venting her anger on the items.
She slammed the scale and the things she wanted down, making a loud clanking sound, but she still paid with a smile, which made the two men even angrier.
She was in a good mood and was helped into the hospital by Lu Jiuchuan like an old Buddha.
After removing the stitches, it was like breaking a seal. She pushed Lu Jiuchuan away and went to find Jin Mei.
Jin Mei saw her from afar and waved happily:
"Oh, is it ready now? No need for anyone to carry it in and out."
"Sister Jinmei, I brought you some food, let's see if I can shut you up."
The two of them walked into the nurse's duty room arm in arm. Jin Mei took out a box of vanishing cream from the drawer:
"Take it. This thing is not easy to snatch. I won't eat your food for free. Go back and use it to make your lover faint."
The two of them laughed and laughed together, and Jin Mei whispered to her:
"It's really gratifying that a working group from the province has come to investigate Chen Aixiang."
"She lost her job as head nurse, her mother-in-law's job in the cafeteria was taken over by someone else, and even her brother Chen Jianshe was kicked out of the police station. In any case, they were all punished."
Luo Qianyu raised his eyebrows:
"Sister Jin Mei, that seat is vacant, you should be able to sit there, right?"
Jin Mei shook her head and sighed:
"I was targeted as soon as I was free. It's my fault that I have no connections. I'm still angry when I talk about this."
"I didn't get any benefits, and I got into trouble. I don't know what the psychopath Chen Aixiang is thinking. She insisted that I was the one who reported her."
Luo Qianyu's eyes flashed slightly. Jin Mei was really an innocent victim.
Chen Aixiang has a lot of messy connections behind her. If she deliberately makes things difficult for Jin Mei...
"Sister Jin Mei, she won't try to harm you, will she?"
Jin Mei curled her lips nonchalantly:
"I am not afraid of her reporting me. I have behaved uprightly and no one can do anything to me. There is no need to worry about this."
Then he pulled Luo Qianyu aside to chat about gossip until someone came to call her to work, and then Luo Qianyu said goodbye and left.
Since the appointment with Zhang Weimin and others was in the afternoon, she and Lu Jiuchuan had nowhere to go after lunch, so she suggested going to the department store.
Lu Jiuchuan drove the ox cart to the department store, and on the way she changed her mind again:
"Is that guy a scrap dealer? Is there a recycling station or something like that? Let's go with him and take a look."
Lu Jiuchuan followed her gaze and saw a middle-aged man pulling a handcart, so he drove the ox cart to catch up.
"Yes, you can."
The middle-aged man glanced back at them, then pulled the cart to the side to make way for them.
Luo Qianyu greeted with a smile:
"Brother, please go ahead. We want to go to the scrap collection station with you."
"What's better than a junkyard? Do you want old newspapers or books?"
"Anything else besides these?"
"That's a lot. We take everything..."
The man was simple and talkative, and soon started chatting with Luo Qianyu.
After a few exchanges, Luo Qianyu became familiar with him. Not only did he know his name was "Xiang Qianjin", but he also learned about front-end information that he had never been exposed to before.
Xiang Qianjin proudly told her:
"I am the person in charge of the waste materials company in Yang County."
"Even though there are only my wife and I working at the purchasing station, the central government's official documents say that we are still contributing to socialist construction."
After a deep conversation with him, Luo Qianyu realized that the waste material recycling industry was the most advanced industry after the reform and opening up.
When I arrived at the recycling station, I saw that radios and various electronic materials were being recycled as scrap metal.
Isn't this a pure waste of resources?
Luo Qianyu immediately jumped out of the car and turned around, and unexpectedly found an 18-inch black and white TV:
"Is this TV also being sold as scrap metal?"
Xiang Qianjin picked up the pile of broken accessories with a nonchalant look:
"They can't make any sound or show off their bodies anymore. What else can we do if we don't tear them apart and sell them?"
Luo Qianyu's eyes lit up:
"Lao Xiang, can you sell me all these old appliances? The price will be based on what you hand over to the company plus 20%."
Although it was against the rules, Xiang Qianjin readily agreed in the face of huge benefits:
"Of course, but what do you want all this junk for?"
Lu Jiuchuan suddenly poured a basin of cold water on her:
"Ayu, these are household appliances. Our Wangshan Brigade doesn't have electricity yet."
Luo Qianyu was dumbfounded when she heard this. She really had forgotten about this.
Looking at the pile of old things, she didn't want to return empty-handed, so she wanted to turn waste into treasure and make more money. After a while, she gritted her teeth and said:
"We'll have to think of a way to deal with the power outage. Besides, we still have to check out the venue this afternoon."
Lu Jiuchuan frowned slightly and didn't comment.
She made a decision directly and generously:
"Lao Xiang, please calculate how much these are worth. I want them all!"
"If possible, I will charge you the same price for any old appliances and spare parts you want in the future. If you agree, let's sign the contract today."
Everyone was stunned. They really couldn't understand what the purpose of spending so much money to buy a bunch of junk was.
It was not until the two parties signed the contract and confidentiality agreement that he realized that he had gained a new big customer, and he happily let Luo Qianyu choose any accessories he wanted.
Luo Qianyu picked up a lot more and readily gave him eight yuan, then instructed Lu Jiuchuan to load the goods and leave.
"It's still early for our appointment with Zhang Weimin. Can you find a place with electricity? I'll check these things and see if they can be fixed."
Lu Jiuchuan didn't say anything.
She didn't care too much about it, her mind was completely focused on the pile of old things.
It was not until Lu Jiuchuan drove the ox cart into a deserted alley that she asked curiously:
"Where are we going?"
Lu Jiuchuan tightened the reins, pondered for a long time, and asked in a low voice:
"The brigade has no electricity and no television. Do you really know how to check and repair it? And the circuit diagram you drew..."
The seed of doubt in his heart grew wildly, making him feel suffocated.
The product pictures drawn by Luo Qianyu were electrical appliances. He had been refraining from asking and had been observing carefully, but now Luo Qianyu said that he could repair radios and televisions.
How could a little girl who was born and raised in Wangshan Brigade where there was no electricity be exposed to these things?
