What are you thinking about when you get something for free? Just be content with what you have… ^_^
After searching here, the two saw that it was almost noon, so they hurried to the third warehouse in the back;
There was nothing special in this warehouse, just some scraps of paper and books;
Ruan Mengmeng continued to search patiently and found some rare books and medical books, as well as some poetry collections and other materials...
For her, it's really useless.
She doesn't have much space anyway, just a lot of free space, so these things don't take up much room.
So, she collected them all and put them into her space.
If I don’t need it myself, I can donate it when the times allow. It can be considered as a small contribution I can make to this era!
Ruan Zilong did not refute her words and actions at all, and followed her example;
The two of them gathered all these things together, and also found a few college entrance examination books and materials, as well as some old newspapers;
These are used to deal with the old man at the door. I don’t know if he will check it. Better safe than sorry…
After putting away the other books, the two of them piled up all the college entrance examination books, materials, and newspapers they had found, and tied them up with a worn rope.
Carrying the bundled things, the two walked towards the next warehouse...
A quick glance at the warehouse revealed that there was nothing worth searching for. It was filled with tattered bed sheets and quilt covers, as well as dirty and unsightly old clothes.
The two of them pinched their noses, took a quick look, and walked directly to the next warehouse.
The last two warehouses only contained some small items, and there was nothing worth searching for.
The two saw that the sun had reached noon, so Ruan Mengmeng prepared to go out for something to eat and then go to the scrap yard in the south to shop.
After brushing off the dust and dirt on their bodies, the two men walked towards the door.
The old man was still guarding the door. When he saw two people coming out with two bundles of books and newspapers, he stood up and said;
"Did you find the newspapers and books you wanted?"
"Found it! Sir..."
Ruan Mengmeng wiped the slightly itchy tip of her nose and handed over the two bundles of books.
The old man glanced at it casually and nodded;
"It's not much, just give me two cents!"
Ruan Mengmeng knew that she had taken advantage of him, and she was grateful in her heart but said nothing on the surface. She quickly took out two cents from her bag and handed it over.
The old man took the money and recorded it in a worn notebook;
When the record was finished, he waved his hand;
"You can go now..."
This is equivalent to letting them go, the brother and sister replied;
"Thank you, sir..."
The old man didn't care at all and turned around to walk into the small house next door!
Ruan Mengmeng thanked him and was about to leave when she suddenly saw a dark red pen holder on the old man's desk.
She stared at it for a while before she was sure that it was a rosewood treasure;
Looking at the somewhat worn-out patterns carved on it, she guessed that this thing had been used for a long time and had gone through several generations;
"elder sister…."
Looking at the motionless Ruan Mengmeng, Ruan Zilong shouted;
Ruan Mengmeng's thoughts were interrupted. She came to her senses, walked to the table, and shouted into the room;
"uncle…."
The old man thought the two had left, so he went back to the house to get some water to drink.
Before he could drink the water, he heard Ruan Mengmeng's voice. He walked out of the door puzzled and looked at the siblings and asked;
"Anything else? Girl..."
Ruan Mengmeng pointed to the pen holder on the table next to her and said in a low voice;
"Uncle, can you give me this pen holder in exchange? If you can, I'll give you something in exchange. Is that okay with you?"
At this time, you cannot talk about buying and selling openly, as this is considered speculation and you may be reported if someone hears you!
"What do you want this for? It's a broken wooden cylinder, thrown in the garbage heap for a long time. I don't think it's useful! Pick it up and use it as a pen tip!"
The old man was puzzled and looked at the dark red pen holder next to him, not knowing what he was thinking;
Ruan Mengmeng was afraid that the old man would discover her thoughts, so she looked away and pretended to be indifferent.
"It's useless! I just felt like they were compatible, and since my family is short of one, I just asked casually..."
The old man looked at it for a while, then picked it up and observed it for a while, but didn't see anything special.
I thought to myself, "Maybe I'm overthinking it. What kind of vision can two kids have? They're just joking."
"I picked this up from the trash. It's free. If you like it, take it! I don't want any money..."
He poured the pen tips onto the table and handed the empty pen holder to Ruan Mengmeng;
Regardless of whether the item is valuable or not, Ruan Mengmeng doesn't have the habit of taking advantage of others.
She took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag (actually the space) and stuffed it directly into the old man's pocket;
Then, without waiting for the old man to refuse, he picked up the things and ran away with his younger brother.
"Hey hey hey...you girl!"
The old man laughed and shook his head, picked up the cigarette, and went back to the house;
The brother and sister left the scrap yard and found a remote alley.
After seeing that there was no one around, Ruan Mengmeng put all the used newspapers and college entrance examination books she had collected into the space.
Then he took out wet wipes from the space, wiped the hands of the two people, and took out two boxes of hot barbecue rice.
Ruan Zilong was curious and took the lunch box handed to him by his sister. He opened it and ate it with relish...
Not only does it take time for the two of them to go back and forth home, but they also have to cook for themselves when they get home. It's too troublesome!
Let’s go to the restaurant! It’s a waste of time to go back and forth, and then I have to go to the next scrap yard, so I don’t want to run back and forth…
After eating, Ruan Mengmeng put the lunch box into the space, and the two drank some boiled water they brought with them. This meal was considered a perfect solution.
After eating and drinking their fill, the two men wasted no time and headed straight to the next scrap yard.
Twenty minutes later...
The two arrived at the scrap yard in the south.
This scrap yard is not far from the scrap yard to the east, but it is not as big as that scrap yard.
The yard is also rather dilapidated, with some of the walls half collapsed.
It is made of rusty iron bars wrapped with rags or wire, and looks a bit like a dilapidated fence.
The brother and sister didn't mind. After all, they came to Taobao, so it didn't matter if they could find something better or not.
After saying something to the aunt guarding the door, the two of them entered the yard smoothly.
This place is not that big, there are only three warehouses at most.
The brother and sister didn't say anything more, they just went straight into the first warehouse, rolled up their sleeves, and got to work!
With their previous experience, the two of them found things much faster.
As the sun was about to set, the two men finally searched all three warehouses, leaving no corner unsearched.
But although it is hard work, the rewards are gratifying.
This time, we not only found a lot of hidden gold jewelry and silver bracelets, but also jade products with uniform color, such as jade bracelets, rings, earrings, etc.
There are also a few small privately collected scrolls, which are probably too big to hide.
