Chapter 146: One-day trip to the county waste station
"Aunt, I'm panicking."
Grandma Zhou Xi looked at Zhou Wei and felt dissatisfied. Her niece was pretty, but she was too impatient.
But if you think about it, it's normal to panic.
After dealing with Song Shilan for so many years, she has a better understanding of her personality. She is very impetuous.
Whenever I encounter something, I basically do it in one go instead of procrastinating.
When it comes to her son's marriage, why would she be so hesitant?
No, the more I think about it, the more I can’t sit still.
"Aunt~"
Grandma Zhou Xi frowned and said, "Okay, okay, stop yelling. I get it."
Zhou Wei looked at Zhou Xipo's face and felt impatient. After all, she was old and had lost all her courage. Why would she hesitate over such a small matter?
As long as she likes it, she can just grab it, right?
She will do whatever it takes to achieve her goal.
"Otherwise, just do as I say."
Grandma Zhou Xi thought of Zhou Wei's method and said, "Let me think about it again."
"Aunt, what are you still hesitating about?"
Zhou Xipo cursed in her heart. This was a disgusting thing done under her banner, which would ruin her reputation.
"I'll give you fifty of the betrothal money. When the New Year comes, I'll treat you like my own mother..."
Zhou Wei's words, threats and inducements, were like the whispers of Medusa.
~
After arriving at the county town, the people in the car dispersed and agreed to meet at the county entrance at 2 pm.
Hongguo ran happily following Wen Ran.
There were whispers behind me.
"Oh, I don't know what this young educated youth is thinking. He picked up a little girl from the mountains and treated her like a treasure."
The old lady was wearing a torn jacket and said sourly, "Look at that dress. Our Baozhu can't even wear it."
"That's right, a woman with big hands like this will definitely be beaten black and blue by a man when she gets married. She doesn't know how to live at all. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, whoever marries her will be unlucky for the rest of his life!"
Wen Ran, who was walking in front, asked: “?”
No, old lady.
His mouth is really sharp!
Wen Ran stopped, turned his head, and grinned at everyone.
The chatterbox lady: “?”
Oh my god!
They were talking so quietly, how could you hear that?
Thinking of Wen Ran's ferocity and strength, he was suddenly a little shocked. There were people coming and going here, so he wouldn't beat anyone up, right?
ah?
"You old chatterbox!" Wen Ran's voice was loud and crisp, quite pleasant to hear, like an oriole emerging from a valley.
What he said was very rude.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I don't know who will get bruises, but some people may get bruises here and there!"
The old woman is scared and doesn't even dare to fart.
Wen Ran took Hong Guo with him and, after asking around, found their way to the scrap yard. On the way, they saw a man selling honey chestnuts.
Carrying a small basket, he was stealthily soliciting customers.
Wen Ran smelled the sweet taste and bought it all immediately.
The two sisters ate while going to the scrap yard and bribed the gatekeeper with one dime, but the gatekeeper didn't even bother to pay any attention.
"Uncle?" Wen Ran was undecided and wondered, could it be that he thought the money he gave was too little?
"Well, my sister and I want to buy some newspapers to paste on the windows."
The old man raised his eyelids and said slowly, "You are not sincere!"
Wen Ran: “?”
Not even a dime is enough for sincerity?
An egg costs one third of the price, which is enough to buy three eggs.
He sniffed and cleared his throat, "What's that smell? It's strangely sweet."
Wen Ran: “…”
You should have said it earlier.
She took out a handful of honey chestnuts and handed them to the old man, "We want to..."
The old man answered immediately, "Just buy something and change it, of course. Touch what you should touch, and don't touch what you shouldn't touch. Don't take anything carelessly."
“I understand.”
Many people came here to shop for Taobao before, all of them using the excuse of exchanging newspapers. The old man thought that the two sisters had the same purpose.
While crunching the chestnuts, he stretched his neck and looked around like a wild goose.
It turned out that the two sisters were really just exchanging newspapers, and my curiosity disappeared instantly.
Forget it, eat chestnuts.
Oh my god, it’s delicious.
"sister?"
Hong Guo looked excited and lowered her voice, "This is a medical book!"
The scrap yard really lives up to its name, with broken things everywhere. Books, wood, and some broken things are piled up in different categories, which can barely be called a chaotic but orderly place.
Wen Ran rummaged around for a long time and found a stack of clean newspapers. Just as he put them away, he heard Hong Guo's excited voice.
She looked up and saw that the medical book was in tatters, with the first two pages of the preface missing and even stained with mud.
This thing is not valuable, but you are not allowed to look at it right now.
Wen Ran said calmly, "Give it to me."
Hong Guo held the medical book in her hand, feeling excited but also hesitant, "Sister, how about, forget it."
There are already a lot of books now, and she was afraid of causing trouble for her sister if she took this kind of thing out.
What if the old man at the door finds out...
"Tsk," Wen Ran raised an eyebrow, "Hurry up."
"No," Hong Guo shook her head, "I don't want it."
"Hiss~ You kid, why are you so stubborn?" Wen Ran felt satisfied in his heart, but he lectured her: "Just give it to me if I ask you to, hurry up."
Meeting Wen Ran's calm eyes, Hong Guo's heart calmed down.
Who knows, maybe her sister is really that powerful?
Wen Ran naturally had a way to avoid being discovered. While Hong Guo was not paying attention, he threw the medical book directly into the space.
Then I searched again and took away anything related to medical books.
I'll give it to Hongguo when I have the chance.
After collecting a pile of newspapers and picking out some books, Hongguo carefully flattened the pages and put them away. This took him half an hour.
The old man at the door came over with his hands behind his back, "Haven't you finished cleaning yet?"
Wen Ran looked at the chestnut crumbs at the corner of his mouth and suspected that he had finished eating and was asking for chestnuts again in disguise.
After a long silence, he said, "Well, I still have a handful in my pocket. Do you want to eat more?"
Uncle: “…I’m not that greedy.”
"Not eating?"
"Well, some more?"
The old man who took the chestnuts happily ran to the door and started to crack the shells, eating one by one. They were so delicious!
Hongguo wiped the sweat off his forehead and was just about to tell Wen Ran that it was almost done.
He stood up, turned around, and fell flat on his face with a roar.
Wen Ran held her by the back of the neck and asked, "What are you doing?"
Hongguo blinked her eyes, feeling guilty and innocent, "I tripped over something."
Let Hongguo stand still, and Wen Ran pulled out the thing that tripped Hongguo.
A gray shelf supporting the washbasin.
only……
When I weighed it, I realized the size was not right.
Wen Ran suddenly thought of those people who like to shop at scrap yards. His eyes flickered. The old man had already rushed in anxiously, "What's going on?"
"What's going on?" Wen Ran said with an unchanged expression, dragging the shelf and complaining, "Uncle, please put this thing in order, it's a mess, look at what my sister broke.
I'm almost falling down like a fool!"
The old man chuckled, feeling quite embarrassed.
Uncle: Chestnuts are delicious. Give me two more.
