Chapter 27 Buying old items from the scrap station
No matter how good the plan was, she didn’t expect that Xu was not at home when Cui Xue went there.
When the kid next door knew that she was looking for Xu, he told Cui Xue that she had gone out for something and asked her to go in and wait for a while.
At this time, most houses in the village did not lock their doors. At most, they would just half-close the doors. Anyway, there was nothing to steal.
Cui Xue thought about it, went into the house and put the things in a conspicuous place, told the kid next door to wait for Xu to come back and tell her that someone had come, and then returned to Daping Village.
After the grain in the field was harvested, there was another most important step, which was various drying. Rice and corn kernels were pulled out every day and spread out under the sun to dry.
At this time of year, the drying field in the village was the busiest.
When Cui Xue passed by, the ground was covered with golden grains. Under the eaves nearby, villagers gathered in groups of three or four, chatting and looking at the grains.
Some people were holding unpeeled corn in their hands, rubbing the kernels off with corn cobs. Their technique was neat, and it was obvious that they had done it many times before.
With some free time, Cui Xue started running around the town again.
She first went to the scrap yard to see the old man. When he saw her, the old man looked at her for a few times and said, "You've become darker and thinner."
Cui Xue cried silently in her heart. She was quite happy to hear that she had become thinner, but to hear that she had become darker was simply a piercing of her heart.
The ultraviolet rays were very strong. Even if she wrapped herself up like a mummy and went to work every day, she still couldn't resist the invasion of ultraviolet rays.
She didn't even dare to look at herself in the mirror. She didn't know what her original condition was like. She wondered if she could turn white in one winter. Otherwise, it would be hard to turn white this year.
"Eighth Master, I finally came to see you. Can you say something I like?" She complained, and the old man laughed. "
Oh, it's Eighth Master who can't speak. Our Xiaoxue has become prettier. Eighth Master's eyes are blurry."
The old man loved the younger generation the most and was willing to coax the younger generation and tell some jokes. The atmosphere was very good for a while.
Until he suddenly mentioned Cao Yibing, Cui Xue couldn't help but prick up her ears.
"I don't know what kind of person his father offended. I'm afraid he's going to be in trouble this time."
The old man's tone was very indifferent. He didn't feel the pleasure of seeing the person he hated have such an end.
After hearing about the current situation of the Cao family, Cui Xue couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, but she did feel a little guilty, after all, it was she who did it.
There was indeed no evidence for her report, but it was true. After listening to the conversation between Wen Hong and her brother that day, it was obvious that Cao Yibing's father had often used his position to do such things. If it was really not the case
, he wouldn't be afraid of others investigating. Now, no matter who he offended, if he was to be punished, it was because he had done something bad first that others could hold him responsible, right?
After she expressed her thoughts, the old man was silent for a while.
After a long while, he spoke: "So, no matter whether you are a high-ranking official or a low-ranking official, you can't do things blindly."
Cui Xue knew that the old man was asking her to go back and tell her father, and she couldn't help but smile.
"I got it, Grandpa Eighth!"
"Little rascal, if you want to go in, go in quickly, don't stay too long."
Knowing the purpose of her coming here, the old man didn't talk to her for long, and let her in after gossiping.
Cui Xue entered the scrap station and saw that there were a lot more things inside, all of which were good items, and she felt very sad.
Thinking about it now, her previous plan could probably be implemented, but this required the cooperation of the old man.
As usual, she entered the first room and flipped through it again. She actually found some review materials, which should have come in later.
She had already read the high school textbooks and copied them back. Now she came here to find other books to read.
It didn't take long to find the books she wanted today. The old man was a little surprised when Cui Xue left.
"You left so quickly today, didn't you find anything you like?"
"No, there are so many books, how can I finish reading them all? I just thought that there are still some books at home that I haven't read yet, so I won't take them back."
Cui Xue replied with a smile, and then she remembered her plan again. After hesitating for a while, she still mentioned her idea to the old man.
"Do you want to buy those old things back?" The old man was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes changed when he looked at her.
"Yes, Eighth Grandpa..." Cui Xue discussed with the old man in a low voice.
She couldn't take these things back to the village, so she could only ask the old man to help find a place to hide them. When the situation stabilized, she would take the things away. She didn't know whether the old man would agree or not.
The old man was silent for a long time, and no one knew what he was thinking. Cui Xue did not dare to urge him.
The atmosphere was a little stiff. The old man did not speak, and looked at the street outside through the window with a serious expression.
After a long time, he came back to his senses, looked at Cui Xue who was waiting quietly, and nodded: "You are well-educated and smart. Grandpa knows that you have something in mind, so I will help you this time."
Cui Xue was overjoyed and said happily: "Thank you, Eighth Grandpa, we can't carry the big things, but we can carry the small ones. Grandpa also has to be careful not to be recognized."
"Well, Grandpa knows." The old man waved his hand and didn't care too much.
Taking advantage of the fact that the sun was shining and no one would go out at this time, the old man let her go in to pick things.
Cui Xue hurriedly responded and ran to the back room. After rummaging around for a long time, she finally brought out three things.
A locked makeup box with carvings, a ceramic vase, and a painting. They were not very big items. The old man looked at them and nodded silently.
"If you want to take the things away, you have to pay some money. If someone comes to check, I will say that someone bought them and they can't say anything."
Cui Xue understood immediately after the old man said this, and then took out five yuan from her pocket and stuffed it into his arms.
"Hey, girl, where do you need so much?" He said as he was going to take it out and give it back to Cui Xue.
Cui Xue forcefully stuffed it back, "Just consider it as my honor to you."
Originally, there was an unwritten rule at the scrapyard, that is, the people who guarded the scrapyard could keep the money from selling the scraps.
However, ordinary people would not dare to buy the things that were sent to the scrapyard.
If someone reported it, they would know why these things were sent to the scrapyard, so few people would hang around here.
But Cui Xue was not afraid because of her relationship with her old man. She
was a little panicked when she met Cao Yibing and the others before, but who knew that it would develop into such a situation later, which made her a little speechless.
Fortunately, she has temporarily gotten rid of the Cao family, and she can come to this scrap yard more often, otherwise she doesn’t know when her plan can be implemented.
Cui Xue didn’t know at this time. She thought she got rid of Cao Yibing, but she didn’t expect that she would meet him again soon.
