Chapter 30 Pick Up the Package
“Hahaha, Liu Dahan, his real name is Liu Wen, the fool with a beard. This guy started to grow a beard at the age of 16. His father died early, leaving only his mother and him at home. Widows are always surrounded by gossip, and in order to protect his mother, Liu Dahan thought that growing a big beard could scare people, hahaha~” Zhuang Shouren laughed heartily.
Obviously, mentioning this person made him happy. "I don't know what he said to you yesterday. It was probably just a few nonsense words learned from those shameless people. Jiang Yu, you don't have to care about him. Liu Dahan is not very courageous and is also stupid. If you beat him up, he will avoid you for three meters next time he sees you."
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, "Really? As long as he doesn't bother me, I won't pay any attention to him." The same goes for everyone else in the village.
"Yes, that's right. You, a little girl, have to be stronger. You educated youth have come from far away to build the countryside, but there is nowhere in our countryside where you can use your knowledge. We just farm on weekdays, and we can only take a break when the mountains are closed due to heavy snow. Although guests are guests, it is inevitable that you will have conflicts with the villagers if you live here for a long time. If you are soft, it will be obvious that you are easy to bully. It is best if everyone keeps to themselves." Zhuang Shouren said with emotion.
It has been several years since the educated youth went to the countryside. I have read in the newspapers about several times when conflicts broke out in other villages and they were criticized. Zhuang Shouren considers himself to be a person who is confused. He has been comforting the villagers over the past few years and has been very careful in handling the educated youth issue, but he just doesn't know where the end will come.
Jiang Yu glanced at Zhuang Shouren, who frowned after laughing. Although he didn't know what he was thinking about, as a cadre, he must have a lot of troubles of his own.
The ox cart slowly arrived at the Hongqi Commune. Before getting off the cart, Jiang Yu asked about the return time. Zhuang Shouren said they would leave at 10:. In addition to getting newspapers, he also had to report on his work, so he had to stay in the commune for a while.
"Then I'll go buy some things and pick up the package before I leave. Uncle Zhuang, Uncle Niu, let's go." Jiang Yu jumped off the ox cart, put on his backpack, and ran straight to the recycling station.
Zhuang Shouren also greeted Uncle Niu and walked into the town.
The lady at the recycling station told Jiang Yu to go pick up waste before the end of the month, but the team was harvesting wheat and it was difficult for Jiang Yu to take leave, so he missed it. Now it’s mid-July and he doesn’t know if he can still find the treasure.
In order to save time, Jiang Yu ran all the way. That was because she had good physical strength and could keep her breathing even when she ran to the destination. Anyone who saw her would praise her as a long-distance runner.
"Uncle, I want to pick up some nails or something. Do you have any?" When Jiang Yu arrived at the recycling station, the uncle he had met last time was sitting in the small house at the door. There was no one else. I wonder if everyone had gone inside to sort out the waste.
The old man didn't even raise his eyes. "It's the third house from the left to the right. Go ahead. Just don't mess up everything."
Jiang Yu exclaimed, walked through the area full of waste and came to the room the old man mentioned.
The things in this room are well organized. It is much cleaner than the room where Jiang Yu flipped over the wheel last time.
After sensing that there was no one around, Jiang Yu took out her treasure hunting equipment and started walking around the house. She was busy for about an hour, putting things that could be seen by people into the backpack, and sending things that could not be seen directly into the space. Of course, she also put two things that were particularly heavy in the backpack. Otherwise, if she picked too much, not only would it cost money, but it would also make others doubt her motives.
Finally, I picked out a bunch of reusable batteries from a basket. These things can be used to make lamps later.
The old man took Jiang Yu's backpack, poured the contents onto the scale and weighed it. "It's quite heavy, a total of 17 yuan. Little girl, what's the point of buying so much junk?" He looked at Jiang Yu calmly.
Jiang Yu didn't feel any ill will, and thought that he might be able to find some customers, so he didn't lie to him and repeated what he had said to Xue Li and the others. "I can make bicycles and repair radios. Uncle, if you need anything, you can tell me next time I come."
The old man looked at Jiang Yu in surprise. Can you make a bicycle? Oh, is that true? Although a bicycle is not a sophisticated device, it is still impressive to be able to make one by yourself. "Are you serious?"
"If you have materials in the future, please keep some for me. When the car is finished, I'll ride it over to show you." Jiang Yu took out the money and handed it over.
The old man took the money and gave the change, then put the things on the scale back into her backpack. "Then I'll wait. But these things you bought are not for making bicycles. You can make other things, girl, you are amazing!"
"No, they're just things we use at home. Not only are they expensive if we go to the supply and marketing cooperative, but we also need a ticket. I don't have any tips, but I'm deft with my hands, so I figured it out myself." Jiang Yu collected the money, bent down and picked up the backpack.
The old man laughed and said, "What can you do? Bring the things back to me and let me see them."
"Okay!" Jiang Yu nodded in agreement. Without saying anything more, he said hello and turned to leave.
After coming out of the scrap recycling station, Jiang Yu went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some pork and peanut oil. The state-owned restaurants were closed at that time, which was a pity as he couldn't pack up the delicious braised pork and big meat buns.
After getting his hair cut at a barber shop, Jiang Yu hurried back. The post office was just outside the town, not far from where the ox cart was parked.
When they arrived at the post office, there was no one inside. Jiang Yu took out his parcel slip and handed it to the aunt at the front desk, "Auntie, please, I'll pick up the parcel."
The bored aunt yawned and took the order. "It's you. Can you take the boss's package back by yourself?"
"I came here on the village's ox cart," Jiang Yu replied.
The aunt didn't waste any more time and went straight to the back to ask the young man to help take out the package of ginger fish.
"Here, sign here." The aunt took out a registration book and a pen and placed them on the counter.
Jiang Yu immediately signed his name, picked up the package and left.
When she returned to the parking spot, Zhuang Shouren had not come back yet. Uncle Niu looked at her package and asked curiously, "Did your family send you a quilt? The cotton hasn't come down yet, and it's not easy to save such a thick quilt."
Jiang Yu didn't explain, saying that she bought it in a department store, and the price was indeed quite high. "Well, Uncle Niu, do we grow cotton here?"
"After planting, you will be busy harvesting cotton in October." Uncle Niu smiled and said, "Cotton is not easy to pick. In my opinion, it is more comfortable to harvest rice and corn." Cotton also needs to be deseeded, which is laborious.
So far, ginger fish has only come into contact with wheat, so I don’t know how difficult it is to pick it. But as Uncle Niu said, it should be a bit difficult.
After chatting with Uncle Niu for a while, Jiang Yu started to fiddle with the batteries in her backpack. Wearing the gloves she had smuggled out from the space, she used a knife to disassemble and decompose the batteries. When she got to the fifth one, Zhuang Shouren came back with a stack of newspapers.
