"Come on, Ningning, eat more. I'll make your favorite breakfast every day."
Father Xu's expression became even more serious when he heard this. Speaking of this troublesome son, he felt a bit of a headache. This kid had been causing him a lot of trouble since he was a child.
"Humph, if he has the guts, never come here again."
Xu Wanning shrank her head and observed a minute of silence for Xu Ye. Judging from the attitudes of Xu's father and mother, her adopted brother was likely to be punished in the future.
After breakfast, Xu's mother hurriedly took Xu's father out to buy New Year's goods. The next day was Chinese New Year, and the Xu family was much more lively during the New Year than in previous years. The son and daughter all came, and the future son-in-law also came.
Although Xu's mother didn't say anything, she was very happy in her heart, and she planned to buy more New Year's goods in the next year.
Otherwise there won’t be enough to eat. People say that the young boys can eat their parents out of money. But this year, there are two more young men in the family, and they have big appetites.
Xu Wanning went to a scrap yard near the family compound alone. With the experience of treasure hunting in the scrap yard last time, she deliberately chose the largest scrap yard near her home this time.
I heard that many of the things here were found by wealthy families, so I guess there are a lot of good things in there.
At the entrance of the scrap station, an old lady in her seventies with wrinkles all over her face was sitting there leisurely knitting a sweater.
Xu Wanning was a little envious. Working at the scrap yard paid wages and food coupons every month. It was a safe and secure job. The work was easy, much easier than working in the fields!
Although she was envious, she did not forget the purpose of her coming here. She took a few steps forward and asked politely:
"Hello, Grandma. I'd like to go in and pick out some books for my studies. Is that okay?"
The old lady paused her knitting hands and looked at her without any concealment.
Looking at the pretty little girl in front of her, the old lady smiled kindly. She didn't know how long it had been since she had seen a young girl.
"Of course you can, little girl, go in and choose by yourself!"
She is old and doesn't like crowded places. She has always lived in the scrap yard. The people who come here are all older people. Young people think the scrap yard is dirty and are unwilling to come.
Even her granddaughter is like this. She has lived here for two years, but her granddaughter has never come to visit her once.
Xu Wanning sighed as she looked at the old lady's lonely back, then walked into a room full of waste.
The room was filled with fragments of various old-fashioned furniture, none of which was intact, mixed with some broken porcelain.
She went forward to take a look and found that these broken porcelain pieces were from the Qing Dynasty. What a pity.
She walked around the house but found nothing. She didn't come across any gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy or paintings.
The only valuable items were the broken pieces of porcelain from Qing Dynasty vases, but they were smashed to pieces and had no collectible value.
Xu Wanning shook her head in amusement. She was not a nympho, so how could she possibly encounter good things every time? According to the routine in novels, good things were prepared for people with the aura of a nympho.
She was not sad at all. After all, she had accumulated a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in her space. The money she earned from selling them in a dozen years would be enough for her family to spend for several lifetimes.
In the yard, the old lady looked at her in surprise, wondering if the little girl was looking for a book, so why did she come out empty-handed?
What's wrong, little girl? Didn't you find the book you wanted? "
The old lady seemed to remember something, smiled and patted her head, and said impatiently:
"Oh, look at my memory. It's really useless now that I'm old!"
"The book you're looking for is in the room in the backyard. The room you just entered is just a mess of broken tables and chairs!"
Xu Wanning followed the old lady to the backyard again. When she opened the door, a pile of dust that had been trapped for a long time flew out, choking people and making them cough.
