Razor; this must be stainless steel, there's not a single rust on it!
Stay! Stay!
The wallet; although not badly damaged, Lin Xue didn't want to use something someone else had thrown away.
The pen looks pretty good; I can keep it.
Is that all? Let's look again.
Huh? Why does this piece of cardboard feel thicker than the rest?
Lin Xue's hand pried at the piece of cardboard that had been peeled off, removing the small protruding pieces.
"Snap!"
There were two silver dollars hidden there! Not bad, I'll keep them!
For those two silver dollars alone, Lin Xue's trip was worthwhile!
Finally, after a careful inspection, finding nothing else, Lin Xue closed the broken box exactly as it was.
He stored all the shameful things in his space and then moved on to the next location.
The wheel; why is there only one wheel? But the leather of this wheel looks pretty good, so Lin Xue kept it.
Even if we can't assemble a bicycle, we can take it home and find another wheel to make a small cart!
After picking and choosing, Lin Xue spent more than an hour rummaging through the garbage before finally returning with a large pile of things in her arms.
Looks like you had a good day!
A thick layer of sunflower seed shells had already piled up at the old gatekeeper's feet.
It seems he ate too many sunflower seeds, as his mouth was a little dry. The old man was now holding a thermos and slurping up tea.
"Thank you for your kind words, I had a really good haul today!"
Lin Xue put down a pile of things, then turned around and went inside to bring out another pile of things.
Gatekeeper: What? There are still some?
Lin Xue: I can't have come all this way for nothing!
Finally, thanks to the old man's leniency, Lin Xue only spent 3.58 yuan on this huge pile of things.
Although there was also a broken transistor radio and a broken electric fan mixed in.
Perhaps Lin Xue's melon seed offensive worked, because the old man didn't charge extra this time.
Grandpa, thank you so much for watching my bicycle.
Before leaving, Lin Xue repeatedly thanked the old man at the recycling station.
"It's nothing! Young lady, if you need anything next time, come to me. I'll even watch your bicycle for you!"
The old man at the scrap yard didn't do it for any other reason than that he felt Lin Xue was a girl he liked.
Watching Lin Xue rummage through the pile of junk, like a child searching for treasure, with her eyes sparkling, was truly amusing.
In the eyes of the old man at the scrap yard, other young girls would avoid the place if they saw the words "scrap yard".
Only Lin Xue, that little girl, didn't mind and even went inside to shop.
These days, it's rare to see such an interesting little girl.
The basket strapped to the back of Lin Xue's bicycle was already stuffed full.
Even on the back of a bicycle, it was piled high.
After leaving the scrap yard, Lin Xue went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some things, and headed straight home.
"Oh dear, third son's wife, why are you buying all this junk?"
When they got home, the amount of stuff Lin Xue had packed in the car really surprised Grandma Wang.
A broken electric fan, a dilapidated radio, and a pile of books that smelled somewhat musty.
Her third daughter-in-law probably doesn't think that just because her son pieced together a bicycle from scrap materials, she could do the same.
Old Mrs. Wang's gaze towards Lin Xue was somewhat off.
"Mother, you don't need to worry about it!"
"I'm a little hungry, could you please make me some food?"
"Stew half a small pheasant and steam a pot of rice! I'm so tired today, I just want to eat something good!"
Before Old Mrs. Wang could refuse, Lin Xue shut her up.
Grandma Wang glanced at the pile of junk in the yard.
Then look at Lin Xue, who is drinking water "ton ton ton" next to her.
"Hey, whatever you want, I'm going to cook for you!"
"Mancang, Yating! Go pick some scallions for Grandma!"
Grandma Wang couldn't control Lin Xue, so she sent the two children to the backyard to pick some scallions.
She put on an apron and went into the kitchen.
Lin Xue took out her toolbox and then sorted and laid out the pile of junk she had collected that day in front of her.
"Sister Xue, what are you doing?"
Just then, they heard someone talking at the door, and in the blink of an eye, Han Tiantian walked in.
"I went to the junkyard today and found a lot of things. Let's see if I can repair them!"
"Sweetie, could you help me spread these books out to air them while the sun is still out?"
Lin Xue didn't treat Han Tiantian like an outsider and directly gave her orders.
"Oh dear, I've come at the worst possible time! I'm already working right after I arrived! Sister Xue, since I've helped you with the work, are you going to invite me to stay for dinner later?"
After spending time with Lin Xue these past few days, Han Tiantian's relationship with Lin Xue has grown stronger.
They were no longer as polite and distant as before; they were like best friends who had known each other for a long time, very close and affectionate.
"Okay, my mother-in-law is preparing meat for me inside, so you're not leaving tonight!"
Lin Xue fiddled with the transistor radio in her hand without looking up.
“Sizzle...our country...sizzle...rural areas…”
What was originally a lump of scrap iron actually made a hissing and crackling sound under Lin Xue's skillful hands.
"Wow, Sister Xue is amazing!"
Han Tiantian was startled by the sound, but when she realized it was coming from the transistor radio in Lin Xue's hand, she immediately became interested.
She quickly laid all the books out on the ground, then rushed over and squatted down in front of Lin Xue.
