Chapter 15 I saw you in my dream
She went straight to the scrap yard.
Even though it is in the city, this scrap collection station is really shabby.
This should be a factory compound.
The wall is tattered and of course there is no need for any anti-theft awareness. Does the scrap collection station still fear that people will come to steal things?
There's nothing valuable about it.
No way!
Various things were piled up in the yard in different categories, and no one was watching.
There was a worker from a scrap collection station sitting at the gate of the yard.
There is a scale there. Anyone who wants to sell scrap can just put it there, and they will weigh it and give you the money.
Jiang Xiaoxiao walked in.
The staff saw that it was a little girl.
"Hey, little girl, this is a scrap yard, don't go in there."
"Master, we are painting our house and we want to find some newspapers to surround the walls. Can you please let me go in and find some? I will give you the price you want."
She wouldn't just use the dictionary because that would go against the grain of history.
She was worried that her own wings would be blown away.
Just follow the track.
The staff lazily pointed to a corner of the compound and said, "All those books and newspapers are piled there. You can find them yourself. Newspapers are two cents per pound. If you want some, pick out some good ones and bring them over to be weighed. I'll tell you how much they cost. If you want books, they're one cent per pound."
Books and newspapers are the most common things in their yard.
From time to time, people around here would come here to ask for some newspapers or books, either to use as fire starters or to build fences. This was normal.
Who doesn’t need it?
Jiang Xiaoxiao walked in cautiously.
Sure enough, there was a pile of newspapers and books in the corner.
They were not sorted and just piled there loosely.
Jiang Xiaoxiao first found a stack of relatively new newspapers from the pile of newspapers. Even if it was just for show, she had to pretend.
Holding the newspaper in her arms, she turned to the pile of books in the corner.
Basically, most of the books you can see outside are study books.
Nowadays people don't go to school much, so these books are thrown into the scrapyard.
Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she saw a lot of high school books.
Yes, these books will be useful to me in the future, as I will be taking the college entrance examination in two years.
Restoring the first college entrance examination is an opportunity.
Jiang Xiaoxiao picked and chose a lot of them.
This pile is enough for me to take.
Then she saw a dozen dictionaries thrown in the corner.
It fell there against the wall, and probably no one noticed it, mainly because people don't like to use dictionaries to start a fire.
She was delighted.
Walked over and flipped through it.
No!
It wasn't until she turned to the two dictionaries at the bottom that she discovered something fishy.
There was a big hole in the dictionary, and an oil-paper bag was lying clearly inside.
The same is true for the other book.
Jiang Xiaoxiao piled all the high school books on top without saying a word. Holding the huge pile of books, Jiang Xiaoxiao felt very sad, it was too heavy.
But for the better life of my parents and family, it is worth it no matter how hard or tiring it is.
Then the fake fan wandered around here.
In fact, I was absent-minded and was anxious to go back and check things.
After wandering around for a long time, he finally walked out with his things in his arms.
"Master, please weigh it!"
The staff saw that there were not many.
After weighing it, it was only 50 kilograms.
"One dollar!"
But I'm still happy.
Usually they buy this kind of waste and put it into their own pockets.
This is also a kind of gray income.
Jiang Xiaoxiao handed over the dollar in her hand.
In this era, a pound of oil cost less than a dime, so newspapers and books were almost considered luxury goods in people's eyes.
Usually no one buys it.
Generally, more people buy newspapers during the Chinese New Year.
It would be more convenient if you have someone you know who works in the office.
Something that comes handy.
There isn't much time for someone like Jiang Xiaoxiao to come and buy newspapers and books as casually as she does.
Jiang Xiaoxiao was holding a pile of books in each hand. She felt that it was too heavy to carry them home by herself, so she went out to find an empty corner and threw them into the space. It would be a waste if she didn't use them.
She bumped into someone head-on. Fortunately, the staff at the scrap yard tied her up tightly with a rope, otherwise she would have been scattered all over the ground.
But the newspaper was not so lucky. Jiang Xiaoxiao tucked that little piece of newspaper under her armpit.
Now they are scattered all over the ground.
The other party quickly bent down and cleaned up the mess, while apologizing.
"I'm sorry, I didn't see the road clearly."
Jiang Xiaoxiao didn't care and helped to pick up the newspapers on the ground, thinking that she was there to steal the money.
A small episode doesn't matter.
"It's okay! I didn't even look at the road."
The man handed over the newspaper in his hand, looking apologetic.
There was a hint of surprise in Jiang Xiaoxiao's eyes.
She knew this person.
Of course she knew him. He was the one who went to the countryside with her third brother and later brought back his ashes.
Later, I kept sending money back to their family, and never stopped.
Unfortunately, what this person doesn’t know is that her parents passed away a long time ago.
The money was always received by her uncle and aunt, and she only found out about this many years later.
This person was a rare ray of warmth in their miserable years.
This person's name is He Aiguo, but they don't know him this time.
I don’t know the other party either.
He Aiguo handed the newspaper in his hand to the little girl with a puzzled look and a slightly stunned expression.
"Have I seen you somewhere before?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao burst out laughing.
Isn’t this a popular pick-up line in later generations?
"Brother! I don't know you."
They shouldn't know each other, so there is absolutely no way they can know each other.
Of course, this person is also a good person, and good people should be rewarded.
At least some of the information she knew should be useful to He Aiguo.
After all, He Aiguo came to see her when she was dying.
When someone does you a favor, you should repay them.
This is the foundation of being a human being.
"Hey, sorry, I'm a stubborn person sometimes. You buy a newspaper too. I'm here to buy a newspaper too."
He Aiguo is a very outgoing person.
Jiang Xiaoxiao smiled widely, but she didn't expect that when she saw He Aiguo, his face was very serious and he was extremely sad. Now it seems that He Aiguo and his elder brother can be regarded as good friends.
Otherwise, a person's character will not be changed.
"Yes! I bought the newspaper, too."
He Aiguo was surprised to see that the little girl was not shy.
Most people don't like his temper.
I think he has ulterior motives.
"How much is a pound of newspaper?"
He Aiguo felt that he had finally met someone who could understand him.
"What are you doing? What do you want to do?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao knew that her third brother had arrived.
They definitely thought He Aiguo was a second-rate guy who was just trying to strike up a conversation with them.
Sure enough, Jiang Shitou pounced on him!
He Aiguo was pushed so hard that he almost fell over.
Jiang Shitou's eyes turned red.
When he passed by here, he saw a strange man talking to his sister with a frivolous smile. Jiang Shitou's first reaction was!
This bastard deserves a beating.
Dare to harass his sister.
This means I don't want to live anymore.
When He Aiguo saw Jiang Shitou, his eyes suddenly widened.
"You...you are...I know you...I saw you in my dream, you are dead!"
Bang!
He Aiguo was hit hard in the face by Jiang Shitou.
Nosebleed started immediately.
"You dare to curse me to death? I think you deserve a beating. Who died? Who died? Who did you say died?"
Jiang Shitou was furious.
