A peasant girl through the ages

Chapter 12 Winking

Since Du Qiuchan is not leaving today, Lin Xinyu is even more unwilling to stay at home. As soon as her brother left, she made a fuss to see her uncle and grandpa.

"Okay, you know the place, go by yourself, don't go with people you don't know."

Mrs. Du still has work in the afternoon, and she has taken over a family's evening banquet, and her daughter is just in time to give her a helping hand.

"Mother, you don't have to do this when you get old. The family debt is almost finished, so you should take a break. Just cook some food for my uncle and clean up the house. If you don't want to stay with us in the city, go back to the country."

How could Mrs. Du listen to her daughter: "I won't go back. It's easy to earn some money in the city. Where can I find money in the countryside? The debt is gone, but the children are all grown up. Which one doesn't need money? Are you Marry a girl or marry a wife, can you play without money?
Alas, Chang He is just like that, don't talk to him all day long, except for some minor problems, this guy is actually pretty good. "

Du Qiuchan smiled wryly: "Just this little problem almost killed the whole family. Alas, I don't know how to describe him. Sometimes he is naive and sometimes a little hypocritical. I've never seen a man like that."

Du Yuzhi patted the girl's arm: "Stop complaining, it's better than those who drink and beat their wives and children, right? So, this person is content, and the children are already so old, what do you want? Can you get a divorce? Be honest with me. Life in Changhe is a little bit bitter right now, but the children are grown up, and the good days are yet to come.

Mom doesn't have much ability, she can help a little, and she is idle, this old man needs to move more, or he should be stupid. "

Du Qiuchan learned from the old lady when she was a child, and went out to earn money with her mother when she grew up, so today's job is really hard for the two.

Xinyu wandered around and found a waste collection station, and happened to catch up with a big truck that had just unloaded from it, and saw that the waste in the huge yard was piled up into a mountain, no wonder her uncle and grandpa didn't have time to come back .

The people in the yard are busy working. There are not many people in the buying station. More and more things are being delivered these days. It is impossible to keep busy. The big guys are working overtime now.

So when Xinyu came in, no one paid attention to her at all, but Du Lichun saw the little girl.

"Xinyu? Why are you here?"

The little girl greeted Du Lichun with a smile: "Grandpa, let me come and see you. You don't have time to go home. There are so many things? Let me help."

There was no room for Du Lichun to refuse, Xinyu had already started, and the voices of these two people also alarmed other people around.

"Hey, Master Du, your granddaughter is very real, little girl, you can help, but there is no salary, but we can buy you some candy."

Xinyu waved her small hand: "We are a brick of the revolution, and we can move it wherever we need it, and the sugar will be free. Well, in the future, if you take care of my uncle, grandpa and my sister, you will have everything."

The big guy responded with a smile: "Okay, the little girl is quite filial, don't worry, no one bullies your uncle and your sister here."

Xinyu said she was helping, but in fact she just wanted to pick up the leaks, as her sister said, there are so many broken things, how can there be so many good things?

After sorting it out for a long time, I only found a few good ones. As for porcelain or something, there is none at all, and the waste station does not accept these things, so they cannot be recycled again. I sighed secretly, it seems that she is No such luck.

Xinyu's eyes drifted to those big pieces of furniture. According to her sister, those things that are not damaged will be sold outside after tidying up, and the price will be very cheap.

However, even if some are good, they cannot be sold outside, and those that do not meet the requirements are directly disassembled and sold as firewood.

Although Xinyu doesn't have much discerning vision for wood, it's not all written in the novel, those gold jewels like to hide here.

With the mentality of picking up cheap, he ran to the house to help.

Someone specially transported it inside. Xinyu came to help that person. He didn't have to bother to check it. This matter was left to Xinyu. There is another person who specializes in dismantling it.

After Xinyu came in, she found an old man dismantling a canopy bed. No matter how she looked at it, Xinyu liked it. It was all made of mortise and tenon joints, without a single nail.

As for the wood of this bed, she felt that it must have cost a lot of money to make such a carved bed.

He ran to the old man: "Grandpa, let me dismantle it for you. Take a rest, drink some water, and move your legs."

The old man was very happy to have someone help, but he still asked worriedly: "Little girl, can you do it, this thing is heavy, and I don't have the strength to remove it."

Xinyu grinned and smiled at the old man: "Why not, I also did heavy work in the countryside. Don't look at me as thin, but I have strength. You just look at it."

Someone took over, and the old man wandered outside to smoke. The room was full of flammable materials. Smoking was not allowed. He endured it for a long time. With help, he was happy to relax. "

Xinyu didn't take too much effort to dismantle the canopy bed, she had the strength, and if she found the right method, dismantling it was easy for her.

The most important thing is that when she was removing the bed board, she found a few pieces of gold cakes and three pieces of jewelry in the hidden compartment of the bed box. The appearance of these things was beyond her expectation, and it was a coincidence.

Xinyu took a look, no one in the room directly stuffed the gold cake into her underwear pocket, as for the three pieces of jewelry she did not touch, and then tied the disassembled wood together with a rope, she wanted this thing, at night Just come over and do it, anyway, her uncle and grandpa are here to make changes, so it is convenient for her to start.

When checking other furniture, Xinyu had nothing to gain, the old man was loosening up outside, and then came in slowly.

Xinyu waved at the old man: "Grandpa, come—"

Seeing the little girl's cautious appearance, even the old man thought this little girl was very interesting.

"what is wrong?"

Xinyu glanced outside, then quickly stuffed the things in the old man's pocket.

"Just found out."

The old man put his hand into his pocket and took a look, my good fellow, there are still three gold hairpins, which is a windfall.

Let's do the job of dismantling. It's not that I haven't encountered such a situation, but there are not many opportunities. Who has the money to stuff things into the furniture?

The old man directly took out two gold hairpins from his pocket and stuffed them into Xinyu's hands: "Take this, don't say anything, only the two of us know."

There is an unwritten rule here, that is, when no one finds out, if a good thing is found, it belongs to the individual.What the two people found out was [-]/[-]. There were too many people, so they had to hand it in. That's the reason. If there are too many people talking, the big guy is also afraid of accidents.

Xinyu shook her head, and stuffed the golden hairpin into the old man's hand: "Grandpa, I want this wood, can I?"

The old man suddenly laughed, the emotional little girl likes this bed, yes, this thing is not common.

"I like it. Come over tonight. By the way, there are a few more good ones here. I'll find them out for you."

Xinyu kept one, and she didn't want the other one, but the old man looked at the little girl with admiration, she was sensible, he liked such a child.

"Then grandpa won't be polite to you. I'll find it for you."

Xinyu asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, don't you like anyone?"

The old man laughed: "The house can't fit anymore, the countryside is big."

The old man didn't explain much, this girl is smart, so I don't need his old man to give me more advice.

Seeing the old man pile up some good goods in the corner, Xinyu smiled and nodded at the old man, then continued to work, but found nothing else.
