The newspaper and three books only cost two yuan. Things are quite cheap now. After paying, Wang Li started chatting with the old man who was the gatekeeper.
"Brother, you are doing a good job here, right?"
"No, I can't make much money. I have many children and some of them don't have jobs. You see me sitting here, but I'm actually worried. My son is getting married and my wife wants a radio and a bicycle, but how can an ordinary family like us afford these things? I'm so worried that my hair is falling out."
"Then why don't you piece together the old radios or bicycles that no one wants here? There are a lot of broken things in the warehouse. You can secretly let your son piece them together. The young people nowadays are quite smart."
Wang Li saw the man frowning and thought, oh no, he is meddling again. This old man should not report me but dig up things about socialism. I have suffered for so many years and he still wants to meddle in other people's business.
"Brother, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously. I'm not trying to take advantage of the country."
"Big sister, am I the kind of person who doesn't want to be cheated? You've been thinking about me for so many years, how come you haven't thought about me while guarding here? I am what people call a beggar who guards a golden baby. How can you be so stupid?"
The man returned the two pieces to Wang Li. Wang Li got angry when he refused to accept them. "What's wrong, sister? Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't know how to repay your kindness? Take them up quickly, and go see if there's anything else you can use. Take some. A batch of furniture will arrive in a few days. Come and take a few pieces. Usually, those people give them to me when they don't want them. I've been busy all the time. Now that you say it, can't we just put together some furniture? I don't have to worry about anything anymore."
After saying that, he laughed out loud, "Too much! If my elder sister hadn't met you, our family would have broken up. My son has been worried these days, but you need money to buy things. You can't just have things you want, right?"
Wang Li and the old gatekeeper got along so well that they forgot the time while chatting.
After coming out of the scrap yard and seeing that there was no one around, I put the things into the space and strolled back. Wang Hao had already cooked dinner.
Seeing that Wang Li ignored her and sat there sulking, Wang Li looked at her and smiled, but she didn't dare to smile, so she pretended to be tired: "Oh, my feet hurt, my head hurts, are you suffering from heatstroke? I want to drink some water, but I don't know if there's any water at home?"
When the old man saw that Wang Li had a sore foot and a headache, although he was still angry, he immediately went to find medicine for the headache, brought out food and water, and said nothing.
Just sitting there angrily, Wang Li laughed, "Ah, what's wrong with my old man? Did someone provoke you? Let me guess, it's that kid Xie Yuyu. When he comes, I'll help you deal with him."
"It's you. You never want to take me with you every time you go out. Do you have any secrets?"
"You, I'm an old woman, what secrets can I have? Stop imagining all day long."
Wang Li thought to herself, I do have a secret, and it would be inconvenient for me to put the things I buy into the space if I take you with me.
"Let's go to Beijing in two or three years and buy a few courtyard houses for the children. I really like living in courtyard houses. Let's go to Guangzhou and have a look at those places. It's just the two of us. You say you are stupid. Why didn't you get married in those years and give you a few children? You had to wait for me. We can't have children at our age. I don't know whether you are stupid or stubborn. I really can't do anything about you. You are still so angry even when you are old.
