Er Gouzi nodded and asked tentatively: "Sister, if you like this kind of thing, I have some ways to help you get it!"
After saying this, his eyes were fixed on An Hongdou.
An Hongdou paused, turned around and asked him, "What way?"
Er Gouzi was secretly happy.
Sure enough, his guess was correct.
"There are many landlords who have been overthrown in our area. Which family doesn't have some of this stuff? But this thing is worthless now. Even if you sell it at a low price, no one may want it. As long as you like it, we can give you some food and exchange it for quite a few." Er Gouzi said.
An Hongdou thought as she walked forward.
Although this thing is not valuable now, in a few years, after the reform and opening up, the price will go up a lot.
In a few decades, it will be the best of the best, and ordinary people may not be able to buy one even if they spend all their money.
Moreover, at this time, quite a few of these things were damaged.
If she could get all the treasures in her hands, not only could she use the food to solve other people's urgent needs, but she could also make a fortune and reduce the damage to these treasures caused by outside attacks. Why not do it?
"Let's go home first."
An Hongdou had a lot of thoughts in her mind for a while, but she didn't reveal her thoughts to Ergouzi at all, which made Ergouzi very uneasy, and he didn't know whether she agreed or not.
Seeing An Hongdou walking towards home, Er Gouzi hurriedly called her, "Hongdou, let's go to the supply and marketing cooperative in town. I've wanted to go there for a long time, but I don't have money. I also want to go to the scrap collection station. The broken walls of my house are leaking air. Seeing that the weather is getting cold, I have to find some old newspapers to paste on the walls."
He got very angry when he talked about this. He originally lived next door to his eldest brother, but his eldest brother's sister-in-law said that the children were grown up and needed to live in a separate house. She also said that it would be easier to take care of them if they were close to them, so she insisted that he move to another dilapidated house.
Er Gouzi certainly disagreed.
It's a pity that your parents wanted to keep things quiet, so they moved all his things out when she was not at home.
His mother almost knelt down in front of him in order to get him to give up, which made him feel both wronged and helpless.
He was eager to make money so that he could marry a wife and move out of his home, and no longer be bullied by his good sister-in-law.
After hearing this, An Hongdou was naturally moved.
She had no shortage of things, but she couldn't help being curious about the supply and marketing cooperatives and scrap collection stations of that era.
As soon as An Hongdou and Er Gouzi entered the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, just looking at the shelves where items were placed, they could feel a strong sense of age.
The large wooden cabinet display stand is inlaid with transparent glass on all four sides, allowing people to see the contents of the cabinet at a glance.
There were two saleswomen standing inside the counter, chatting while eating melon seeds.
Behind them, there are standing open wooden cabinets filled with all kinds of items.
Er Gouzi took a look, walked to the side, and said to the teller inside: "Hello comrade, please help me take out these hairpins... two."
Thinking about the money he had just earned today, Ergouzi felt rich for once.
There were no twists and turns. Ergouzi successfully bought two hairpins, which cost him 50 cents. He grimaced in pain.
An Hongdou looked at him in confusion, because Ergouzi was not married and she had never heard that he had a partner.
An Hongdou also took a look around. There was nothing outstanding about the items in the supply and marketing cooperative. Almost all of them were found in the items piled up in her space. Moreover, she had no tickets, so she couldn't buy anything at all.
Only then did An Hongdou realize how careless she had been.
If she had known earlier, she shouldn't have asked for all the money, she should have asked for some receipts.
Even if she has everything, she still needs a source to disguise it.
Ergouzi had two hairpins in his pocket and bought a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes for 15 cents. An Hongdou had nothing in her hands. After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, the two went straight to the scrap collection station.
Er Gouzi handed the front door to the gatekeeper of the scrap collection station, and the two of them were qualified to enter.
Er Gouzi really came for the newspapers. He gathered a big bundle of them and even found a stool with a missing leg. He said he would go back and fix it so he could sit on it.
An Hongdou glanced at the stool. It was made of fine huanghuali wood painted red and had carvings on the edges, symbolizing its former wealth. If there wasn't a table of the same material next to it that he disliked because it was shabby, An Hongdou would have thought that he came here for this.
In addition to old newspapers and old furniture, the scrap collection station also contains many worn-out books, all piled up in a messy pile.
An Hongdou didn't know whether these were ordinary things or rare treasures, and she didn't think of making a fortune from them.
An Hongdou was thinking when she suddenly heard Er Gouzi calling her, "Sister, do you want to take this thing back for Shen Zhiqing?"
An Hongdou turned around and just saw the crutch in Ergouzi's hand.
She remembered that she had promised Chen Xiangzhi to get him a pair of crutches. She had originally thought of finding an opportunity to take it out of the space, but now that she saw it at the scrap collection station, she didn't have to find an excuse to explain the origin.
In addition to the pair of crutches, An Hongdou also picked up a few books, ready to take them back to Shen Xiangzhi to pass the time.
Due to this delay, when the two returned, it was already the afternoon.
As soon as I got home, An Changyuan hugged me and said, "Aunt, Aunt, Grandma said you went to town. Did you bring me any delicious food?"
This is the youngest boy in the An family. He is usually spoiled at home, so he is quite courageous.
Of course, there is also An Douya who is two months younger than him, but because she is a girl, she is never as valued as boys at home.
At this time, An Douya was standing next to her sister, looking at An Changyuan with envy and longing, but she was timid and did not dare to step forward.
"Of course I bought it for you!"
After surviving in the apocalypse for many years, it is difficult for adults to survive, let alone children.
When An Hongdou was in the end of the world, she hadn't seen human cubs for a long time.
So when I first arrived and saw the children in the An family’s house, I felt they were friendly and cute.
An Hongdou bent down and picked up An Changyuan, took out a handful of fruit candies from her pocket and put them in his hand. When passing by the two sisters An Douya and An Doumiao, she reached out and rubbed An Douya's head and handed her a handful of candies.
"Thank you, little aunt." An Douya's voice was sweet and sticky. The call of "little aunt", plus the smile that instantly blossomed on her face when she received the candy, seemed to sweeten her heart.
An Hongdou went out for a run for the whole day and her mood became better.
