Chapter 37 Exchange of Supplies
The community staff gave everyone one night to think about and sort out the materials that could be exchanged. Regardless of whether they exchanged or not, the residence permits had to be issued anyway, so they always had to go from house to house. They had no complaints about this work.
The number of people who came this time would not be small. After all, the community staff were responsible for explaining the purpose and calculating the price of supplies, so he certainly could not deliver the supplies alone. After some consideration, it was finally determined that a team would have 5 people, and according to the number of volunteers in each community, more than 20 small teams were actually formed.
As everyone expected, the staff still started working from high to low, and the first place they went to was Huang Jinghe's house.
With his parents' instructions, Huang Jinghe cooperated with the staff. The "junk" at home was piled right in front of the door, so the staff would notice it as soon as they entered. Huang Jinghe didn't think much of it and said, "Besides these, I'd also like to exchange some unused home appliances. You guys can exchange them too, right?"
The staff member said, "Okay, let's calculate these first and then look at the appliances later."
However, after finishing the book collection, the exchange points accumulated to over 6,000. Huang Jinghe couldn't help but interrupt, "Is this pile of stuff really that valuable? I thought I'd be lucky to get 100 or 200 points."
The staff member explained, "The most valuable thing is your set of textbooks. Not only are they complete, but they're also in very new condition. Each set is worth a thousand contribution points. So, with five sets, that's 5,000 contribution points. The rest of these toys are also valuable. Wait a minute, I haven't even finished calculating them yet."
Although the staff didn't know why these things were so valuable, they had to do what their superiors arranged. In the end, after all the calculations, Huang Jinghe's pile of "waste" was exchanged for 16,738 contribution points. Although they didn't know the exact value of the contribution points, this number was definitely not small.
"This, this is too much." Huang Jinghe couldn't believe it, but the most important thing was that this pile of his things was valuable.
The staff member still remembered that Huang Jinghe wanted to exchange something else, and before he could digest it, he immediately asked, "What else did you say you wanted to exchange?"
Huang Jinghe pointed at the things in the kitchen and said, "My mom told me not to use the oven, steamer, dishwasher, stove, and pots. I'll keep the microwave and refrigerator, and I don't want the sofa, coffee table, dining table, and chairs. If possible, you can also take this wine cabinet, right?"
The staff took turns taking a look and nodded, but still asked curiously, "We collect them all, but if we collect them, you won't have anything left at home."
Huang Jinghe said, "My parents are both in the military. I listened to their request to replace everything. Isn't that a bit exaggerated?"
The staff member shook his head and said, "That's fine. Since you have to change them, I'll give you some contribution points."
Huang Jinghe hesitated for a moment and then agreed, "Okay, I'll change them all. At worst, I can buy more later."
The staff at this end continued to count the items, and everyone began to slowly drag the counted "waste" downstairs.
After the final calculation, after adding up all these furniture and appliances, there was an additional nearly 40,000 contribution points. Counting the previous ones, the community staff said, "A total of 58,463 contribution points."
The staff member first used the device to activate the contribution point function of the residence permit, and then deposited these contribution points into the residence permit. After the deposit was completed, she said, "It's used in the same way as before at the convenience store. The staff member will directly enter the amount, and you just need to scan it with the residence permit. As for checking the balance, there will be a special app to check it later. All of this is worry-free."
After saying that, the staff handed the residence permit back to Huang Jinghe, and that was it. After all the things here were moved out, everyone went downstairs.
Huang Jinghe's house had a lot of stuff, but Lan Jin's house also had quite a few. After the group went to Lan Jin's house and saw the supplies in her second bedroom, everyone couldn't help but ask, "This, this, do we have to change everything?"
"Well, I'm planning to replace everything." Lan Jin finished explaining, "These pieces of furniture are all old ones from my previous house. My house used to have three bedrooms and two living rooms, but now my kids and I only use the living room and master bedroom. The remaining furniture is useless. I couldn't bear to throw it away or sell it before, but now that I've dragged it here, I feel like it's taking up too much space. It would be great if we could solve this problem this time."
The staff member went in and took a look, then said, "Yes, anything can be exchanged, and since your items are all new, the price can be higher."
Lan Jin nodded and said, "Well, these were all bought when I got married. I divorced within two years of my marriage, and the children at that time were not yet naughty, so the furniture is relatively well preserved."
But next to the furniture were two bags of small things that Lan Jin had cleared out yesterday. She dragged them out and said, "These are all unused bottles and jars. These bags are all clothes that my children don't wear anymore, some new and some old. I wonder if you would like to take them."
After taking a look, the staff member said, "We accept them. We accept both new and old ones."
Lan Jin pretended to be relieved and said, "That's good. I couldn't bear to throw these clothes away before. Children grow up so fast that they only wear them once or twice. There are still many clothes with tags still on them."
The staff first opened the bags of clothes and carefully checked them one by one. Those with tags were naturally counted as new clothes, and those without tags were appraised after checking their newness. Then came the glass bottles and jars. The ones without chips had one price, and the ones with chips had another price. After the two small bags of supplies were recorded, the cabinets were next.
After a careful inspection, the community staff member said, "These are all made of solid wood. They must have been very expensive when you bought them."
Of course it's expensive. Lan Jin said, "It's a bit expensive. This wardrobe cost 18,000 when I first bought it. The shoe cabinet cost over 8,000, and the storage cabinet is..."
But the wardrobe that cost 18,000 yuan is only 1.2 meters in size, and the shoe cabinet that cost more than 8,000 yuan can only hold 8 pairs of shoes. It can be seen how flashy and impractical this cabinet is. But it looks good and is well preserved, plus there are a lot of them, so Lan Jin’s cabinets really cost a lot of money.
After the community staff finished calculating these, Lan Jin took out her jewelry and said, "I have some gold, platinum, and silver jewelry that I wore before I got married. They're a bit outdated now. Could you help me figure out how many contribution points I can exchange them for? I'm just going to keep them there anyway."
Thanks to Qingyi A D for the reward, thank you!
