Chapter 1164 Stepfather 75
Yuanchun and Shen Yi rummaged around in the scrap collection station and found a mahogany dining table with one leg broken. After searching for a long time, they finally found the short leg.
Find a wenge dressing table.
Shen Yi moved the dressing table, which weighed about a hundred pounds.
Two more mahogany chairs with missing arms and legs were found. Fortunately, the broken legs were not found, but Shen Yi removed two legs from another more broken mahogany chair.
There was also a wenge chest of drawers with two legs missing.
A long mahogany bench.
Two small stools.
I picked up another large bag of newspapers, weighing more than ten pounds.
There were also some dirty bowls and plates, so dirty that your original color couldn't be seen. Yuanchun saw that there were no cracks, so she picked out eight plates and bowls and two dirty pickled vegetable jars.
When we got to the exit, the old man just checked to see if there were any contraband items, estimated the weight of the items, and said they would cost thirty yuan.
Shen Yi nodded to Yuanchun, and Yuanchun took out a handful of small change, counted out thirty yuan and handed it to the old man, "Old comrade, my family is short of everything, we will trouble you again if we need anything in the future."
The old man took the money, spat into his hand, counted it happily, and when he saw that the amount was just right, he smiled and said, "Whatever you want, come and look for it. If you throw the things here, they will be waste. Selling them to you can make use of the waste and save a lot of materials for the country."
The old man kindly told them that if they turned left, there would be a cart for rent, and asked them to spend three or five cents to rent a cart and take their things back.
Yuanchun thanked him profusely.
Shen Yi ran to rent two carts and pulled all the things back to Hongqi Village.
Because the last time the tractor pulled bricks and tiles attracted a lot of gossip from people in the village, this time Yuanchun and Shen Yi took the cart along a small road and detoured to the foot of the mountain and stopped at the doorstep.
The two cart drivers helped to carry the furniture into the house. Seeing that they were sweating from exhaustion, Yuanchun quickly made two bowls of sugar water for them to drink.
When leaving, he stuffed a handful of fruit candies into their hands and said, "This is the wedding candy for the warm room. You must take it."
The two masters were very grateful. They were reluctant to eat the fruit candies, so they carefully put them in their pockets to take back for their grandson.
After seeing off the two cart drivers, Yuanchun and Shen Yi used their few days off to repair the broken furniture. When repairing the dressing table, Shen Yi discovered that there was a compartment hidden under the dressing table.
When I opened the partition, I found ten small yellow croakers neatly arranged inside.
Each one weighs one pound.
It weighs ten kilograms in total.
Shen Yi and Yuanchun were both shocked.
Then, Shen Yi restored the compartment to its original state, and the two secretly took the small yellow croakers and buried them in a very secret place in the secret base.
Except for some pocket money, the rest of their money was buried there. It was deep in the mountains and the villagers didn't dare to go in. Even if someone accidentally went there, they wouldn't be able to easily find where they hid the money.
With two days left of vacation, the couple ran to the pond in the back mountain and caught dozens of big fish weighing two or three pounds. They also hunted more than ten small animals that came to the pond to drink water.
The couple kept the fish in two large vats for pickling sauerkraut.
The small prey was also cleaned out by Shen Yi, cut into pieces by Yuanchun, fried once, and then soaked in the oil tank, so it can be kept for a long time.
In the evening, Yuanchun cooked braised rabbit meat, pheasant and mushroom soup, braised fish fillets, and fried sweet corn cakes. She shared some of the dishes with the Shen family and also secretly sent some to Grandpa Liu.
Grandpa Liu is Grandpa Shen’s old friend.
When Yuanchun cooked something delicious, there would be a portion for the Shen family and a portion for Grandpa Liu and his friends. Yuanchun and Shen Yi often secretly helped the people there.
