Chapter 166 Gold panning at the scrap station (seeking a monthly pass)
After Du Yuhan gave in a message, she left with an empty basket, and left all the food for the Jiang family.
Jiang Bowen and Jiang Xiyue took Du Yuhan out of the yard and watched her walk away before returning to the house.
Jiang Zhaonian looked at her somewhat depressed grandson and said, "Bowen, from now on, she will learn more from your sister Xiaohan. She will be only one year older than you and will be so calm and independent. It is rare.
With your grandfather’s eyesight, this girl’s family background should be extraordinary, otherwise how could she know this jade ornament so well? Moreover, this girl is also a kind and honest person, so we will not suffer any loss when we interact with her.
In the future, you will be able to support this family. You have to learn more about how to deal with people and things in the future."
Jiang Bowen nodded and said, "Grandpa, I will work hard in the future. I will graduate from high school in half a year. When I work, my family will be more affordable."
Jiang Zhaonian did not refute his grandson's decision. Although he wanted his grandson to go to college, the situation at home did not allow it.
They lived here for peace, and he never gave his grandson the idea of being a popular man, because he knew the hardships and risks of standing on a high place.
In the future, the grandson will be a worker and the family will be safe and happy.
He has experienced more in his life, and no matter how glory, wealth, fame and fortune are, he is not as important as the whole family's safety.
After Du Yuhan left Jiang's house, he went straight to a scrap purchase station in City C.
When she arrived at the scrap purchase station, she saw a woman in her forties sitting in a room next to the door. She was sitting on a stool knitting a sweater.
Du Yuhan knocked on the door and entered the room and said, "Sister, please disturb you. I bought books for children of school age in the village below our city C. When I went to the bookstore, I saw that the books were not only not complete but also very expensive, and we couldn't afford them at all. I thought if I could come here to find some old books to buy them.
It doesn’t matter whether the children in the countryside use new books or not, as long as they have books. Even the literacy classes in the village must use books. I’m so worried. Can you let me go in and look for it, and then I will pay for it. Sister, please treat it as good things and ease."
As he said that, Du Yuhan stuffed the woman 50 cents into her hand.
Then he said, "Sister, this is my little intention. If you go back, you can buy candy for your child."
Du Yuhan saw that the sweater knitted in the woman's hand belonged to a child, so she knew that she had children at home. She said so.
The woman's eyes lit up when she saw Du Yuhansai giving her 50 cents. Her monthly salary was only more than 20 yuan, which was a lot of money.
She held the 50 cents in her hand and said, "You are really considerate. I have no problem here in order to support the children in your village to study. Girl, go in and find it casually, pick out the books you want to buy and I will weigh it for you. I collected it according to the scrap, and I will sell it to you at a price slightly higher than the scrap. I can do it?"
Du Yuhan said happily when he heard this, "That's great, thank you so much. Don't worry about me, what you should do. When I choose the book, I will settle the score with you. Sister, your surname is?"
When Du Yuhan saw that this elder sister was also a cheerful person, she might be familiar with her in the future.
The woman replied, "My surname is Qin, just call me Sister Qin."
Du Yuhan replied, "Sister Qin, my surname is He. Just call me Xiao He from now on. Then Sister Qin, you are busy, I will pick up the books myself."
Sister Qin Qin Xiumei replied, "Then you can go, choose slowly, don't worry."
Du Yuhan also lamented that this elder sister Qin is so easy to talk to. Not only is this elder sister Qin a cheerful person, but her 50 cents should also play a role.
In this era, 50 cents are really a lot.
Du Yuhan entered the warehouse where the scrap was placed behind.
All of them are scrap here, but they are also classified and are piled up in two large warehouses.
The doors of the warehouse were not locked, and there was no one who could steal the waste.
Du Yuhan entered one of the warehouses and saw that there were many worn furniture piled up in the warehouse, as well as a large pile of worn metal utensils that were no longer available.
Du Yuhan ran to the old furniture and looked at it. He found that these furniture was really broken and none of them were intact.
However, Du Yuhan still found a Huanghuali ring chair, and this thing was pretty good.
Du Yuhan directly put the chair in space. The disappearance of this chair in such a large pile of shabby furniture was not conspicuous at all.
Du Yuhan also found a few items like old objects in the pile of metal waste. Du Yuhan didn't have time to identify them one by one, so he put them in the space first. It would not be too late for her to identify them when there was no one back.
Du Yuhan didn't stop anymore and went to another warehouse to find books. She had to find some books to show off.
And Du Yuhan also has her own plans. She now collects some elementary and junior high school textbooks and may be able to use them soon. Anyway, these books will definitely not be wasted.
Du Yuhan found that there were quite a lot of old books. She found some neat and cleaner when she saw them, and they all made a complete set, which would be convenient when used in the future.
Du Yuhan really found good things in the pile of old books and papers. Several valuable ancient paintings were dug out by Du Yuhan and put them in the space. There were also some ancient books that Du Yuhan didn't have time to read carefully, and if they thought they were ancient books, they would put them in the space. When she got home, she would go into the space and check it out carefully.
Today is her first time to visit this scrap purchase station. She has not yet met this sister Qin for the first time, so she dare not stay for too long.
She decided to establish a good relationship with this elder sister Qin in the future, hoping to collect more old items from this waste purchase station.
This scrap purchase station is not where the old man from the Jiang family works. He works at another scrap purchase station. She doesn't have to worry about Mr. Jiang. She collects more things in this purchase station, which should be able to obtain a lot of old items.
At least it should be enough to pay for the money to buy food for grandson.
She had more opportunities to collect old items in the future. She was considering whether to find out where the black market in C City was and try her luck.
In this famine era, many people should have exchanged old items for food.
Du Yuhan collected some books in the space and moved a large stack of books placed outside and left the warehouse to the front door.
She didn't go in, but knocked at the door and said, "Sister Qin, I've already chosen it. This time is tight, so I can only choose so many for the time being. Sister Qin, please give me a thumbs up, so I can give you money."
Qin Xiumei left the house and saw that there were really a pile of books at the door. She looked through the textbooks from elementary and junior high schools.
Chapter completed!
