Chapter 2716 Finding Good Stuff
When Lu Xiaoxiao arrived at the scrap yard, she saw that the old man was still guarding the door, so she walked up to him and said, "Uncle, long time no see."
"It's been a long time since we last met. What are you looking for this time?"
"I want to find some books and newspapers to read. I'm going to school this year, so I want to read more books."
"If you have the ambition, go in and find some books and newspapers. I'll help watch the door."
"Thank you, uncle." After saying that, Lu Xiaoxiao walked towards the scrap yard.
The first room she entered was the room where paper waste was kept. After searching inside for a while, she saw that there was nothing valuable, so she found a few relatively intact books and two stacks of newspapers and placed them at the door. Then she walked towards the room where porcelain was kept.
When she entered the room where the porcelain was kept, her heart sank when she saw the porcelain inside.
Because looking around, almost all the porcelain in the room was broken, as if someone had smashed it deliberately.
Lu Xiaoxiao casually rummaged around the door for a while, and seeing that nothing was intact, she gave up on the room where the porcelain was kept.
When she came to the last room, she saw that although the things inside were broken, they could still be used after some repair, so Lu Xiaoxiao went into the room to search.
After searching for a while, she set her eyes on a dressing table with a mirror, but the mirror was missing. However, this did not affect her love for the dressing table.
So she moved the dressing table outside the house and walked towards the door of the scrap yard.
"Why did you come out so soon? And empty-handed? Aren't there any books and newspapers you need in the house?" The old man asked Lu Xiaoxiao when he saw her walking towards him empty-handed.
After hearing what the old man said, Lu Xiaoxiao shook her head and said to him, "I have already found the books and newspapers, but I have my eyes on a dressing table and would like to ask if I can exchange it for it."
"What dressing table? Take me to see it."
"good."
The old man followed Lu Xiaoxiao to the door of the furniture room and saw the dressing table that Lu Xiaoxiao mentioned. He saw that there was nothing else on the dressing table except a shelf.
So he said to Lu Xiaoxiao: "It's not impossible for you to have this dressing table, but it will cost five dollars."
"Can't it be cheaper? I don't have that much money."
"Four dollars, at least four dollars, no cheaper."
"Thank you, uncle." After Lu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she took out four dollars and fifty cents from her pocket and stuffed them into the uncle's hand. Then she took out a handful of White Rabbit milk candies from her pocket and stuffed them into the uncle's hand, asking the uncle to take them home to sweeten the children.
Seeing how sensible Lu Xiaoxiao was, the old man felt very relieved and liked her even more. So he pointed at the cart in the yard and said to Lu Xiaoxiao, "You can use the cart to take the dressing table back home and bring the cart back tomorrow."
"Thank you, sir."
"You're welcome. I'll help you put the dressing table on the cart."
"good."
After Lu Xiaoxiao moved the dressing table onto the cart with the help of the old man, she thanked him again and then pushed the cart out of the scrap yard.
A few minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao pushed the cart into an empty alley. She put the dressing table on the cart into the space, then pushed the cart out of the alley and walked towards the scrap yard.
