Seeing that Su Nian really wanted to change, the old man said with a smile: "Girl, please watch carefully! I'll put them all away for you! You can take them yourself!"
"Okay! Put it away!" Su Nian nodded with a smile.
I don’t know if there are any other treasures among these things, but the bronze warhorse alone is very good and worth exchanging for that little bit of food.
Su Nian thought to herself that she had gotten a great bargain. It would be great if there were more uncles like her who didn't know the value of things!
The old man was thinking in his heart, I have finally met a sucker. This thing is like a time bomb if it is kept at home. Fortunately, I met the spendthrift girl before I threw it away!
I think I still have some junk at home, I'll trade it all for this girl! These days, who would be willing to trade precious food for this inedible, unattractive junk?
Su Nian and the old man each had their own ideas, but they each got what they wanted and cooperated happily. They looked at each other with warm smiles.
"Girl! Is this enough? I have more at home!" The old man looked at Su Nian and smiled for a while, then approached Su Nian mysteriously and whispered.
"Really? I'll have to see it to know. If they are all like this, I'll want as many as I can get!" Su Nian's eyes lit up after hearing this and he said with a smile.
When the old man saw Su Nian's greedy look, he knew that this girl really liked these things, and he had an idea in his mind. He decided to exchange all the scrap metal that his son brought back for food!
"Okay! Girl, come back with me later and take a look!" The old man smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, and he wanted to take Su Nian home immediately.
"Old man, you still dare to ask me to go home with you? Aren't you afraid that I am a bad person?" Su Nian saw that the old man was so impatient and joked with a smile.
"Hey! I'm an old man who has seen countless people. I can tell at a glance that you, girl, are not a bad person. Besides, my family is poor and we only have those scrap metals. If you want to rob them, just take them! Do you think you can take the lives of me and my wife?" The old man said indifferently.
Now, just being alive is enough. Why have so many requirements? As long as you are alive, everything else is just external things.
Su Nian laughed: "How could that be possible? I only want scrap metal, not my life!"
Su Nian also knew that in this cold winter with a shortage of food and clothing, people had no demands for the quality of life. They didn't even expect three meals a day. They would feel satisfied with two meals or even one meal.
The two talked in low voices for a while, and Qin Yulin came over with a cloth bag and a net bag in his hands, which contained things wrapped in oil paper.
Su Nian saw Qin Yulin carrying something weighing fifty or sixty kilograms and walking with such a strong momentum that it looked like he was carrying a piece of paper. She secretly sighed in her heart that Qin Yulin was quite strong!
"The things are here! Take a look! If you don't have a scale, you can go to the room over there to weigh them!" Qin Yulin walked over and said to the old man.
"No need to weigh! I'll know just by picking them up!" said the old man, and picked up the things Qin Yulin put down one by one.
"Well! Okay! Girl! Let's go!" After the old man picked up the bags, he put them one by one into his big backpack. It was so full that he couldn't put any more.
"What are you doing?" Qin Yulin asked in confusion when he saw that the old man wanted Su Nian to follow him.
"He has some more at home. I'll go take a look!" Su Nian said to Qin Yulin without hesitation.
"Is that so! Then let me take it over! Otherwise, you'll be late!" Qin Yulin said, and he took a step ahead of Su Nian, picked up the two bags of food in the old man's backpack, and signaled the old man to lead the way.
The old man suddenly felt lighter and relaxed. Without saying much, he strode ahead with the backpack on his back.
Su Nian's outstretched hand froze. He stood there in a daze after seeing the two people leave. Is he going with me?
"Let's go!" Qin Yulin took a few steps and didn't hear Su Nian's footsteps behind him, so he turned around and urged Su Nian who was still in a daze.
"Hey! Here they come!" Su Nian trotted a few steps and caught up with Qin Yulin and the old man.
The old man brought Qin Yulin and the others directly to the north yard, opened the door and saw that there was no one outside, then went out.
As Su Nian and the others entered the alley, the door behind them closed again.
The old man carried a backpack and took Su Nian and the others through twists and turns. Su Nian felt like he was about to get dizzy.
"Brother! Where are your New Year's goods? Did you leave them in the yard? Go back and get them later?" Su Nian asked when she saw that Qin Yulin was only taking the food that he had exchanged for the old man.
Thinking it was inconvenient to call Qin Yulin Qin Zhiqing, he simply followed Qin Yuxian and called him brother.
Qin Yulin was walking in front carrying things. When he heard Su Nian call him "Brother" in a soft voice, he staggered and almost dropped the food in his hand.
This little girl, why are you calling me brother? I don't want to be your brother!
Despite this, Qin Yulin remained calm on the surface. He had already been shouted at, so what else could he do?
Seeing that Qin Yulin was busy walking, Su Nian thought that Qin Yulin didn't hear it, so she curled her lips and stopped asking. She would ask again when she got back.
The old man stopped at the door of a house in an alley, looked around to see if there was anyone around, and then pushed the door open and walked in.
Su Nian and Qin Yulin followed him into the courtyard. The old man closed the door and bolted it.
The yard is very small, with only three adobe houses and a western annex. It looks dark and dim from the outside.
"Old woman! I'm back!" The old man put the backpack at the door and shouted into the house.
"Are you back? Did you get the things back?" The voice came out before the old lady came out.
"Exchange for food! Quickly take out all the scrap metal in your house!" The old man said to the old woman anxiously, as if he was afraid that Su Nian would go back on his word.
"Changed?" When the old lady heard that the food had been changed, she walked out of the house quickly with a look of surprise on her face.
When I arrived at the yard, I saw two young people, a man and a woman, and was stunned: "Where did this golden boy and beautiful girl come from?"
After realizing what was happening, the old lady said with a smile, "I thought the little fairy had come to our house."
"Haha! Old woman, this is the young man who exchanged food. I will take the good ones in first, and you go and take out the scrap copper and iron that my son brought back!" The old man said, carrying the backpack and entering the main house.
The old lady smiled and agreed, saying, "Girls, boys, wait a minute!"
After the old lady finished speaking, she went into the house, took out a key, and opened the door of the west wing.
Then, he took out a tattered fertilizer bag and placed it in front of Su Nian and the others with a clanging sound.
"Haha! It's all here!" said the old lady, pulling up the bottom corner of the bag and pouring out everything inside.
Su Nian took a look and found that although they were dull, there were many antiques at first glance. Su Nian even saw a kingfisher headpiece.
These treasures were thrown on the ground by the old lady like rubbish, and Su Nian felt so distressed!
Fortunately, I discovered it early, otherwise, I don’t know how I would be treated?
The old man put away his backpack and came out of the house, looking at the "junk metal" on the ground with a smile! No, this is not "junk metal", it is all delicious food!
