Chapter 104: Turmoil in the County (Part 2)
After buying the meat, Lu Xiaoxiao went to the counter selling cakes and candies and bought three pounds of egg cake and one pound of White Rabbit milk candy.
After she finished buying things, she found a deserted place to put the things in her space, and then planned to go to the scrap yard to see if there was anything good.
Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly thought that she would definitely take the college entrance examination in the future. She had heard that many questions in the first college entrance examination were from mathematics, physics and chemistry books. It happened that this time she could look for mathematics, physics and chemistry books in the scrap yard.
When she arrived at the scrap yard, she found that the old man who was guarding the yard was still the same old man as before, but this time he was not listening to the radio and drinking tea, but sitting there reading a newspaper.
When the old man saw Lu Xiaoxiao, he told her not to take things she shouldn't take. Then he used his eyes to quietly signal Lu Xiaoxiao to look at the yard, and then whispered to Lu Xiaoxiao: "There are two people managing this place now, so you should be careful."
After hearing what the old man said, Lu Xiaoxiao gave him a grateful smile, and then she walked towards the room where the waste newspapers and books were kept.
As soon as she entered the room, she found that there were many more books inside than when she came last time, and most of the books were very new. However, among the pile of books, she still saw that some of them were torn by humans, and it was obvious that these were recently collected in the scrap yard.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked at the pile of books that looked like a small mountain. She took a deep breath and walked towards the pile of books.
While the person in the yard was not paying attention to this side, she hurried to put the undamaged thread-bound books and scrolls into the space. She also put some books that interested her into the space. Fortunately, she not only found a complete set of mathematics, physics and chemistry series, but also found books from elementary school to high school.
When Lu Xiaoxiao left the room, everything except the elementary school textbooks was put into the space. She looked at the time and saw that it was still early, so she planned to go to the next room to take a look.
The room next door is much messier than the previous one because it is filled with broken porcelain, scrap copper and iron and the like.
Lu Xiaoxiao looked into the yard and saw that the person who had been in the yard before was talking to the old man at the door, so she immediately took out a pair of hiking gloves from the space and put them on, and quickly put the undamaged porcelain and some things that looked like antiques into the space, but she was afraid that there would be too few things, so she only picked the ones she liked the most.
After picking some things, Lu Xiaoxiao turned around and saw that the man had returned to the yard, so she decided not to continue picking things in this house. Anyway, she had picked up everything she liked in the house.
When Lu Xiaoxiao came to the third room, she saw broken furniture and other things in the room. She originally didn't plan to enter this room, but when she turned around, she accidentally saw a dressing table with a broken mirror. The style of the dressing table was like the ones used by ancient ladies in the boudoir, and the material used to make the dressing table was actually rosewood. She had found a treasure.
Lu Xiaoxiao immediately put the dressing table into the space while no one was paying attention. Looking at the empty space, she went to find a few missing stools from elsewhere and put them there so that no one would find it.
Lu Xiaoxiao felt that the time was almost up and decided not to continue looking. She had already gained enough today, so she walked towards the door with a stack of elementary school textbooks.
This stack of books cost her fifty cents. When she gave the money to the old man, she secretly gave him a handful of White Rabbit candies to thank him for his reminder today.
After Lu Xiaoxiao took out the waste, she stood in a deserted place and put the books into the space. Thinking of the expiring food and meat coupons left in her bag, she planned to go to the state-owned restaurant for lunch.
When she arrived at the state-owned restaurant, she saw that the only meat dish served at noon was braised pork, so she ordered a serving of braised pork, a plate of stir-fried cabbage and ten steamed buns, just in time to use up the remaining food and meat coupons that were about to expire.
