Chapter 8 Visiting the Scrapyard



When An Ran heard him say this, she thought to herself that he was taking advantage of her. If I didn't have to go to the countryside, I would be the boss myself and would not need you!

He said without changing his expression: Thank you Master Lei for your kindness, but there are some things that are not up to me to decide. In the current situation, a person’s stay or departure is not up to him, so I can only thank Master Lei for his kindness. Master Lei, you should understand what I mean when I say this, right?

How could Master Lei understand, so he didn't force it. Some things were not up to them. After thinking for a while, he said: When will the first batch of goods be available?

She thought for a moment and said, "When I came here, I saw an abandoned temple in the north. Let's do the deal there at 11 o'clock in the evening." The two reached an agreement, and Anran stood up to say goodbye and leave. Noticing that she was following her, she turned around and entered the alley, then turned into the space.

The person who was following saw that he had lost the person, cursed in frustration, and then continued to watch. It was not until half an hour later, when he was sure that the person was really lost, that he turned around and left.

Another half an hour passed, and seeing that there was no one in the alley, An Ran changed back into women's clothes and left the space. She saw a scrap yard not far away, so she walked over, took out an apple, handed it to the old man guarding the door, and said: "Uncle, can I go in and find some waste newspapers to take home to paste on the walls?"

The old man looked at her, a little girl who didn't seem to have bad intentions. She was wearing tattered clothes and even gave her an apple. The old man didn't want the apple and let her go in. An Ran didn't take the apple away. She put it in front of the old man, said thank you, and walked into the scrap yard.

While the old man wasn't paying attention, she knocked around and found a set of books, which she secretly put into her space. A cabinet caught her attention, and after knocking a few times, she actually found a mezzanine. Seeing that the old man wasn't looking at her, she opened the mezzanine with all her strength, and found a package of big unity and ten gold bars. She quickly put them into her space, and then saw a pair of vases in the corner. She picked them up and looked left and right. They were from the Tang Dynasty. She put them into her space, looked around again, and made sure there was nothing interesting. She took a pile of newspapers and walked over to the old man and put them down.

Asking: Uncle, how much are these newspapers?

The old man took a look and saw that there was only the newspaper and nothing else, so he said: Just give me thirty cents. Anran handed the old man thirty cents, said thank you, uncle, then picked up the newspaper and left.

Find a deserted place, throw the newspaper into the space, find a state-owned restaurant, buy twenty big meat buns with tears and shouts, secretly throw them into the space, and then walk home.

When she arrived at the compound, she heard the neighbors talking about her family, most of them scolding Shen Junhui, so she went in. When the neighbors saw her frail little body, they came up to comfort her. Aunt Zhu and the other two aunts went back to the house and took out steamed bread, eggs and porridge, and told her to eat quickly.

Looking at the majority of people who truly cared about her, An Ran in both lives, her heart felt a little warm. Although she was not hungry yet, she took it, sat in the yard, and started eating.

Everyone looked at her. She never cried or complained, and she always faced it bravely. They felt bad in their hearts. If it was their daughter living such a life, they would turn into ghosts and would not let those beasts go.

After the meal, Anran thanked the aunts. No one said anything and pushed her back to rest. She went back to the room and lay down for a while, then remembered that she had not finished her work yet.

She got up and went to Aunt Zhu's house and knocked on the door. Aunt Zhu opened the door and saw that it was her. She pulled her into the house and asked: Ran girl, is there anything wrong?

An Ran didn't hesitate and said directly: "Auntie, you know my situation. Going to the countryside is necessary and can't be changed. So I want to sell my job. I know your sister Feng is unemployed, and I want to sell my job. I thought I would ask you if you would like to do it?"

Aunt Zhu wanted to buy it, but looking at her frail body, she asked, "Girl, have you asked the Youth League Office? Is it really impossible to change it?" An Ran shook her head and said, "I asked Aunt, and Comrade Zhao accompanied me. It really can't be changed, but the location of the rural work has been changed, from going to the Northwest to going to the Northeast."

When Aunt Zhu heard that the family was actually going to send her to the Northwest, she cursed again. Without further ado, Aunt Zhu said, "Girl, I'll ask my daughter and son-in-law about buying a job and then let you know, okay? Although my daughter is mine, she's already married, so I don't really have the final say on whether they want to buy a job. I'll go ask them now. If they're willing, I'll bring her over and you can negotiate the price, okay?"

Anran nodded to show her understanding. Aunt Zhu said happily: Then you wait here with me, don’t go back, I will be back soon, it’s not far away. After that, she trotted away.

At this time, Uncle Zhu came back and looked at An Ran sitting in the room. He was stunned for a moment and nodded. An Ran stood up and politely called him uncle, and briefly explained why she was at his house. Uncle Zhu didn't say anything. He felt sorry for the child, but he didn't know what to say to her because he didn't have any expression for many years. He just asked her to sit down, then took out his son's snacks and told her to eat them.

Two people, one big and one small, one old and one young, just sat there staring at each other. The atmosphere was really awkward for a moment, and An Ran even wanted to get up and go home...!
