Ling Shuang took his wife, Xu Xiaomin's family, and his eldest granddaughter Xu Ping, and quickly moved to Yangsong, Huairou, in a large truck. Thinking back, the happiest time in Xu Ping's previous life was when she had just arrived in Beijing and became a rag king.
So when Ling Shuang arrived in Yangsong Town, he first rented a large yard, which could be used for living and collecting waste, killing two birds with one stone.
All of their children are now registered, and Xu Xiaomin and his wife have a daughter named "Xu Xi" under their names. The four siblings are all attending the town's middle school, elementary school, and kindergarten.
The scrap station also has a sign hung in a conspicuous position at the gate. Xu Xiaomin and his wife are hardworking. Usually, they take turns riding the tricycle to collect scrap from the nearby factory and residential areas, while the other one stays in the yard to weigh and pay the people who come to sell junk.
Grandma Xu is responsible for cooking and taking care of her husband's drinking water and taking medicine. With her son and daughter-in-law helping out, it's not too tiring.
Ling Shuang pounded his numb right leg. It was too inconvenient to walk. The old man had osteoporosis and his bones were very brittle. Even with the adhesive from the world of immortal cultivation, it was impossible to completely repair the degenerated body. After settling down for a month, Ling Shuang made an appointment for an amputation surgery at a large hospital in the city.
There is no construction without destruction. Instead of being paralyzed in bed with a sick leg, it is better to just cut it off and get a prosthetic leg.
Xu Youwen had no social security and had to pay for the surgery out of his own pocket. So, before he was admitted to the hospital, Ling Shuangzhi asked Xu Xiaomin to go to the pawnshop and sell a gold brick. He had plenty of that.
Two months after the operation, the stitches were removed and Ling Shuang entered the rehabilitation training period. Her time was very tight.
Ever since the old man said his legs hurt so much again, he asked his second son Xu Xiaomin to take him to a big hospital. But after losing a leg, Old Mrs. Xu cried every day.
"Why was it cut off?"
Later, seeing that there was nothing they could do, it became: "You have to go to the hospital to get that leg back. When your father is a hundred years old, you have to be buried with him. Otherwise, in your next life, you will be reincarnated as your father, your father..." What if your father is reincarnated as a disabled person who was born without a leg?
Later, she watched the old man make an "iron leg" for her. After she put it on and put on her pants and walked, she could not tell that it was a prosthetic leg. She finally stopped crying.
He also chatted with an old scavenger lady who often came to the house to sell rags, praising Old Man Xu: "This stubborn old man in our family has been dexterous since he was young. He learned to ride a bicycle and drive a tractor. He was the fastest learner in his group. Now, after two months in the hospital, he has even learned the skills of a doctor. He can move his legs and can run as soon as he puts on the clothes."
......
Ever since their family opened a recycling company, the four Xu children have been collecting everything they see on the street: cardboard boxes, broken nails, and plastic bottles. Their classmates have nicknamed them "junk kings."
But they didn't care at all, just let them shout. Xu Dong even reached out to the fat boy who made the loudest noise and said: "Drink a few sips of your Coke quickly, and then throw the bottle to me directly after you're done. It'll save you trouble." A bottle could be sold for ten cents.
Facts have proven that as long as you're thick-skinned enough and don't care, no one can hurt you. Because of their uninhibited nature, the bad boys in the class later unconsciously helped him collect used bottles and old notebooks. Xu Dong also brought comic books and storybooks received from home to school to share with his friends.
This business is really profitable, but Ling Shuang's mission this time is short, at least three years, at most five years, and she will be leaving soon. Xu Youwen doesn't have much life left, so she has to leave some for him. Now she is borrowing his body.
Moreover, she didn't want the descendants of the Xu family to become losers in the future. If that were the case, she could leave now. The purpose of her coming here was to reverse the situation, to bring about some changes, and to do things that her original body could not do.
Near the courtyard they rented, there was a well-known local film and television studio. Before Hengdian World Studios opened, there were several crews filming there simultaneously every day.
The Xu family also received a lot of discarded props.
Ling Shuang led the children in crafting a variety of things, some useless, some useful, and some ridiculous. One was a "zombie bike" made from a scrap bicycle. The distance between the front and rear wheels was larger than that of a normal bicycle. There were pedals in front of the wheels, but no footrests. The bike's forward motion was generated by the pedals bouncing, which in turn drove the handlebars and front axle.
This thing is so funny, Xu Dong loves it the most. He came up with this idea after watching a few zombie movies. However, he didn't know the specifics of how to make it, so Ling Shuang took him through it step by step.
This car is so fun. When it was first made, there were children coming to the house to see it after school every day. Xu Dong begged his grandfather to make a few small ones for them. Well, as soon as the small cars came out, the Xu family’s children became the kings of the children.
Then, film crews who made props came here to ask them to make custom products, not only zombie bicycles, but also space floating water guns, space weightless waste vomiting spaceships, iron-clad scarecrows, etc.
These useless and ridiculous things actually sold for a lot of money. In just half a year, they registered a prop processing and manufacturing company and made a lot of money from design fees alone.
Finally, the children stopped picking up junk on the streets. They sold those broken cars and used the money to rent a store near the school and opened a second-hand bookstore. Half of the goods came from the junk in the scrap yard, and the other half came from buying and selling at the second-hand market. The books in the store can be bought or rented. They hired Grandma Xu to run the store and paid her a salary every month. The business is quite good.
Grandma Xu has been a farmer all her life, but unexpectedly she found a job as a salesperson in her old age. She loves this job and works hard every day to take care of the books in the store. She has also learned a lot of words with her grandchildren. This has given her a new lease of life.
It had been almost two years since the family moved out of their hometown, but Xu Damin and his wife hadn't come back to visit. During the first Spring Festival, a neighbor called Old Man Xu and said Xu Damin had called and asked them to tell his parents that they wouldn't be coming back.
Moreover, the neighbor also told Xu Daming as Ling Shuang had instructed before he left, saying that his father had gone to Beijing for an amputation surgery.
The next year, they still didn't come back, and this time it was even worse, they didn't even call me.
