Chapter 22: Coincidentally



The rice in the fields has turned golden, and the rice stalks have been bent by the heavy rice ears.

The team notified the time for harvesting rice.

Qin Hanshu remembered that the aunt at the scrap yard said there would be new goods on the eighth day of the first lunar month, just before the rice harvest.

Qin Hanshu asked for leave and decided to go to the county town on the eighth day of the New Year.

It’s not that I want to buy anything, but I mainly want to deal with the valuable items that I moved out of my home and put them in the space.

For example, the remaining bicycle, a radio, a watch that Hu Wenwen had worn, and a pen that she had used.

These things were bought by Yang Aizheng using her father's pension.

She simply destroyed the other odds and ends because selling them would be too troublesome and risky.

Seeing that Qin Hanshu was going to the county again, Ma Chaoyang also wanted to make a move, but in the end he gave up.

"There's nothing fun to do in the county... If I could still buy a bicycle, I'd be fine to go for a trip."

Qin Hanshu's heart moved, "You want to buy a bicycle too?"

Ma Chaoyang nodded and said, "Of course, it's convenient to go anywhere with a bicycle."

Qin Hanshu half-jokingly said, "If I'm lucky enough to meet someone selling bicycles, would you like me to buy one and bring it back to you?"

Ma Chaoyang also smiled and said, "Are you that lucky? Okay, if you really help me buy a bicycle, I'll treat you to a good meal!"

Qin Hanshu: "Then it's settled."

Ma Chaoyang just thought it was a joke and didn't hold out any hope at all.

***

Qin Hanshu went there by bike and took out the radio and other things halfway.

When she arrived in the county, she went to the department store first.

The only store in the county that sold radios and watches was a department store.

She went to the counter first to look for her target.

When she saw a young woman lingering at the watch counter for a long time before leaving reluctantly, she followed her.

After following her to a sparsely populated area, she called out to the woman.

"You want to buy a watch?"

The woman looked at her warily and said nothing.

Qin Hanshu took off the watch on his wrist and said, "I'm short of money, so I want to sell my watch. I don't want the ticket. Do you want it?"

The woman's eyes lit up. She started working immediately and wanted to buy a watch before going to her new unit. However, even though she had enough money, she still couldn't get the ticket.

After looking at Qin Hanshu's watch and seeing that it was about 80% new, he asked, "How much is it?"

Qin Hanshu said: "One hundred yuan."

A new Seagull watch costs 120, plus a watch ticket.

Qin Hanshu’s one is priced at 100, which is really not expensive.

The woman was still a little hesitant and asked, "Is this really yours? Did it come from somewhere illegal?"

"If you don't want it, forget it." Qin Hanshu made a gesture to leave.

"Hey hey hey! I didn't say no." The woman was anxious and quickly grabbed Qin Hanshu.

After carefully checking the watch to make sure it was fine, the woman paid the bill readily and left with a light step, feeling that she was really lucky today!

Using the same method, Qin Hanshu sold both the radio and the pen.

I got a total of 180 yuan.

It was almost time for lunch, so Qin Hanshu found a restaurant and had a bowl of noodles, then went to the scrap yard again.

The auntie at the scrap yard still remembered her and smiled when she saw her, which was completely different from the expressionless face she had when she first came.

The aunt led Qin Hanshu into a room where some old furniture was piled up.

"Comrade, these furniture are much better than the broken wood last time. Do you want them? You can pack them up and take them away for 50 yuan."

The wood of the furniture is good wood, it is just damaged and broken.

And Qin Hanshu is not short of furniture now.

Seeing that Qin Hanshu didn't want it, the aunt was not disappointed, "It's okay, if you don't want it then don't."

The aunt leaned close to Qin Hanshu's ear and whispered, "There are some more things, take a look and see if you want them."

The aunt pulled out a box from behind the furniture, which was mostly filled with porcelain.

Qin Hanshu walked over and looked through it for a while.

She doesn't know how to identify them and doesn't know whether they are antiques or not, but when she was a child, her father often took her to antique shops and also to her father's friends' homes. She has seen many good things there and has some basic appreciation skills.

She took a fancy to one of the famille rose vases, which was signed at the bottom with the inscription “Made in the Kangxi Period of the Qing Dynasty”.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Qin Hanshu thought the vase was pretty.

Apart from this pastel vase, there is nothing else worth looking at.

Qin Hanshu asked: "How much is this vase?"

The aunt observed Qin Hanshu's expression and said, "We are all acquaintances. If you want it, just take the 20 yuan."

There is no doubt that this thing was sold privately by the auntie, and the price was just random.

Qin Hanshu bargained: "I'll take the 10 yuan."

"Huh!" The old lady shook her head repeatedly. "The money from the sale doesn't go into my personal pocket. Do you think I'll give you a random price? 10 yuan is absolutely impossible."

Qin Hanshu smiled and said slowly: "Auntie, I often buy things at the scrap yard, I know the rules. How about this, I'll add another 2 yuan, 12 yuan, what do you think? I won't pay more than that."

After hearing what Qin Hanshu had said, the aunt smiled awkwardly.

She just took advantage of Qin Hanshu's youth and shouted out 20 yuan, but she didn't expect that Qin Hanshu was actually someone who knew the inside story.

No matter how much the things are worth, how many people are willing to spend money to buy them these days? How many people dare to buy them?

Therefore, the employees of these scrap yards can sell things privately at very low prices.

After seeing that Qin Hanshu had exposed her, she took the initiative to add two more dollars so that there was still some money in her pocket, and the aunt's face looked a little better.

"Okay, 12 is 12!"

The aunt found some newspaper and helped Qin Hanshu wrap the vase.

Still in the same alley as last time, she put the vase into the space and took out the bicycle.

That way you have two bicycles.

Qin Hanshu couldn't ride two bicycles back, so he took a bus to the commune first.

At the commune, he asked a familiar face in Haowan Village to pass on a message, asking Ma Chaoyang to come and pick up the bicycle.

After waiting in the commune for an hour, Ma Chaoyang finally arrived.

From a distance, Qin Hanshu saw his mouth open in surprise.

“You really met a bicycle seller again???”

Qin Hanshu said calmly: "That's not the case."

Ma Chaoyang stared at Qin Hanshu for a long while, then gave him a thumbs up, "You are awesome, I admire you!"

"Don't be so joking." Qin Hanshu said, "Your car is a bit old and only cost 140 yuan."

Ma Chaoyang nodded quickly and said, "I'll give you the money when I get back."

While riding the bike, Ma Chaoyang actually felt something strange in his heart - Qin Hanshu's luck was too good. He just said he wanted to buy a car and he met someone selling it?

But he really couldn't imagine that Qin Hanshu would have such a bizarre experience. It was beyond his comprehension.

So, I can only think that there are such coincidences in this world.

After returning to the educated youth point, Zhang Yao handed Qin Hanshu a letter.

"Your letter was brought back from the commune by Accountant Niu."

Qin Hanshu took it and took a look.

It turned out to be sent by Yang Aizheng.
