Chapter 168: Finding Treasures at the Scrap Yard



Lu Qingyan held her belly and agreed, then she and Gu Mingze slowly walked into the scrap yard.

"Mingze, you go look over there and I'll look over here, this way we can be faster." Lu Qingyan walked into the scrap yard and looked at the man and said

"Is your belly okay? How about you stay here and I'll go find it?" Gu Mingze was worried that his wife was still bending over to look for a book with her big belly, so he asked him to watch over her while he went to find it.

"It's okay, I'll just go slow." Lu Qingyan shook her head and refused, then turned around and started looking for books in a pile of waste.

Section 68

"Then go slowly. Call me if you feel uncomfortable or something goes wrong." Gu Mingze saw that his wife had already started looking for him, so he gave her a few more instructions before turning around to look for him on the other side.

Lu Qingyan rummaged through a pile of tattered and dusty books, and finally pulled out a few books for grades one to three at the bottom. She put the books aside and slowly squatted down to rummage through them again.

"Wife, are these a few picture books okay?" Gu Mingze flipped through the books for a long time and found a few. He turned around and asked his wife if they were okay.

"Okay, find out everything that children can see." Lu Qingyan turned around and took a look, then asked him to continue looking.

After Lu Qingyan finished searching through the pile of books, she put everything she found aside, put a few books that she couldn't take out with her and that she wasn't afraid of getting dirty into her pocket, and then went to the side to continue looking for something.

"Huh?"

Lu Qingyan was about to take away the stool leg that was pressing on a book, but as soon as she reached out to pick it up, she felt it was very heavy, so she picked it up and shook it, but heard no movement from inside.

Then he turned around and called Gu Mingze over: "Mingze, come here for a moment."

"What's wrong?" When Gu Mingze heard his wife asking him, he put the things in his hands aside, dusted off his body and walked over to ask

"See if this stool leg can be opened." Lu Qingyan handed over the stool leg and said

Gu Mingze reached out to take it, and felt that it was a bit heavy. He knew something was wrong, so he lowered his head and looked around. He found a gap, reached out and pried it open, and the things inside leaked out.

"I guessed right." Lu Qingyan looked at the small gold nugget inside and said with a smile. Then she reached out and took the gold nugget out and put it in her pocket. She asked Gu Mingze to put the stool legs aside and cover the stool with the dirty book.

"Here, we take the gold, there won't be any problems, right?" Gu Mingze put the stool legs in place, then walked up to his wife and asked in a low voice.

"God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know, it's okay, don't worry." Lu Qingyan reached out and patted the man's shoulder, telling him not to worry, then turned around and began to look around.

See if you can find anything valuable.

Finally she found it.

There was a wardrobe in the corner. Lu Qingyan opened the door, reached in and felt around, and found a card slot inside. She pushed hard and pushed the board open. Inside were small gold bricks lying flat.

Lu Qingyan told the man to put all the gold bricks in his pocket and restored the wardrobe to its original state.

He turned around and picked up the tables, chairs and benches made of precious wood and began to check them.

So when he went out, Gu Mingze's pockets on both sides and his trouser pockets were stuffed with things.

"Auntie, how much do these cost?" Lu Qingyan put the books in her hand and the books in Gu Mingze's hand on the table in front of the waste aunt and said.

"Three dollars." The woman at the scrap yard looked through the pile of books and saw nothing suspicious. She said she would give them a discount because they were soldiers.

"Auntie, we can't take back so many books. Do you have any sacks or something? We'll buy them." Lu Qingyan only dared to say that she would buy them because this was a scrap yard.

Otherwise, if it were somewhere else, she would never dare to say it.

It's really because the management is too strict now. In just a short while, several people wearing red armbands passed by the scrap yard.

"Yes, give me ten cents." When the waste aunt heard this, she took out an old sack from the side and handed it over.

Lu Qingyan took out 3.1 yuan from her pocket and handed it over to her parents, asking them to put the things into the sack.

Gu Mingze reached out, picked up the sack, put it on his back, and walked out.

Mr. and Mrs. Lu felt strange looking at such a son-in-law.

Under normal circumstances, the son-in-law would rush to do any work, so why did he just carry a sack and leave without a bag this time?

It’s not that they can’t carry it, it’s just that the son-in-law suddenly stopped rushing to do the work, which felt strange.

Then they asked for directions and went to the bookstore.

When Lu Qingyan saw the bookstore, she asked a few people to wait outside for her to go in.

"Hello, is there anything you want to buy?" A middle-aged man saw a woman with a bulging belly coming in and asked with a very friendly attitude.

"Hello, I want to buy some books. By the way, I want to ask you, I want to write some small books or do some translation or something, where should I go?" Lu Qingyan felt that the middle-aged man opposite her was quite pleasing to her and looked kind, so she told him her thoughts.

"Oh? You can translate?" The middle-aged man heard this and looked at the young but pregnant woman in front of him and asked in surprise.

"Yes, I graduated from high school. When I was free at home, I taught myself some English. Now I can not only recognize English, but also speak it. So I wanted to come and ask around." Lu Qingyan thought about the English encyclopedias and English dictionaries she had just searched, and said confidently.

After all, if I could really decipher the translation, someone would definitely investigate me.

Then these English encyclopedias and dictionaries can become an excuse for you to learn English on your own.

"Then I have a book here, take a look." Seeing the woman in front of him so confident, the middle-aged man took out an ordinary English book and asked her to translate it.

Lu Qingyan took the book and read it from beginning to end, then asked the man to get paper and pen and started translating quickly.

"Okay." Lu Qingyan put down the pen, rubbed her wrist and said

"So fast?" The middle-aged man saw that the woman had finished translating a book in less than half an hour. He was surprised and picked up the book. After checking it, he found that everything was correct.

He immediately looked at Lu Qingyan excitedly and asked, "What's your name? Where are you from?"

"My name is Lu Qingyan, and I'm the wife of Gu Mingze from the army. If you don't believe me, you can go check it out. Or my husband is at the door and can let me in to see you." Seeing his expression, Lu Qingyan knew that her translation work was successful.

"Okay, okay, I'll go meet her right away." The middle-aged man felt more relieved when he heard that the woman was a soldier's family member. In order to make himself feel more at ease, he followed Lu Qingyan out to meet her husband who was a soldier.

"Xiaoyan?" Gu Mingze frowned as he looked at the middle-aged man following his wife, then turned to look at his wife and asked what was going on.

"Come in with me..."
