On this day, Ning Weimin was frequently despised by others for the first time on the way home.

For he had taken too many pieces of brass, fifty pounds, all of which were packed in his broken sack.

Even before he got into the car, he had stuffed all the dirty and smelly overalls, broken straw hats, open-threaded cotton shoes, and two-tooth hooks back into the canvas bag.

I also washed my face with water from a military kettle.

Others can still tell who he really is.

Especially when taking the big road, the conductor of the car saw Ning Weimin carrying a heavy sack on the bus.

As soon as the sack was placed in the car, it still clanged, and it almost broke down on the spot.

That is, Ning Weimin is a young man.

And seeing that he took the initiative to show his monthly pass, he also bought an extra ticket for his sack, so the conductor didn't knock him down.

As for the passengers in the car, they all avoided Ning Weimin like flies.

If nothing else, the smell of the garbage dump emanating from his sack is quite obvious.

Let's put it this way, compared to the long-haired, cynical Ah Fei in the documentary "Car Ride" released this year. Ning Weimin, who has honestly tried his best to stay in a place that is not in the way, seems to be even more annoying.

Almost everybody was thinking, why do you have to take the bus when you pick up the rags?

Still sit on the main road that runs through Chang'an Avenue?

Is that good-looking?

Isn't it good to save yourself two dollars with your legs?

Isn't this intentional to add to everyone's blockage?

However, in this regard, Ning Weimin himself did not show the slightest dissatisfaction, nor did he bother to taste the white eyes of others.

For one thing, the bus conductor must not be provoked these days.

They have low incomes and are not service-minded.

I have to get on the bus every day, and there is no fun in the days, and there is only endless fun left in life to quarrel with passengers.

Don't look at them forever using a tone that can't wake up and has something in their mouths to report the name of the station, which makes people can't hear it clearly.

But whoever dares to show the slightest sign of provocation will choke you with words that are several times clearer than the report.

At this time, you must not talk back.

As soon as they talk back, they are waiting for you with baskets and baskets, training you like a rainstorm.

until you get soaked, and you run away.

Once, Ning Weimin just dared to ask how many stops there were at such and such a station.

It made the conductor angry, and he immediately rolled his eyes.

"Are you deaf or deaf? You didn't hear me just when I reported to the station?

A lesson from the past, why did he bother to touch the mold, instead of suffering this immediate loss?

As for the second, don't look at the conductor so good, and the other passengers despise him so much.

But Ning Weimin really didn't care much in his heart.

Because self-esteem and self-confidence come from oneself, a dumb man eats wontons and his heart is beautiful.

Don't even look at him as a pick-up of rags, he dares to put a crazy word here.

There was no one in the car who had money in his pocket worth more than his sack.

That's more than 50 catties of copper, and more than eighty percent is purple, how much does it cost!

So on the way from Jianguo Road to Wangfujing, Ning Weimin couldn't calculate his income, where was there time to be idle.

His face was facing out of the window, looking at the beautiful scenery on the street, and all he could think about was how much he had earned today.

Well, the ones I picked up myself were supposed to sell for about eighteen or nineteen.

But after such a reversal, it was replaced with copper, and the price difference was six more yuan.

and the copper that was picked up by about 40 catties later, and if you remove the little brass in it, you can probably earn 40 yuan.

In this rough calculation, I have already earned more than sixty years.

Damn, it's three days on weekdays.

No, no, no...... It's still too easy.

Because the wisest thing I have today is the idea to buy a watch that came up on the spur of nowhere.

The old boy of the "General" must not have imagined that there is a place like a trust store in the city, which specializes in consignment and sale of second-hand goods.

Watches there are not only cheaper, but also no tickets.

Well, I remember that after the New Year, I followed Old Man Kang to the store to see his old friend.

There is an eighty percent new Huhai brand watch that is quite suitable, and it seems that it only sells for eighty-two yuan.

I'm going to take it to the clock repair point to pick it up, and I'll also play a hand of "tiger work", and tomorrow I will send a new one to the "general".

This is equivalent to an additional thirty-eight pieces of profit.

In this way, I can actually earn a hundred less in one day.

Haha, Lao Tzu is really a genius, ask who in the world is competing!

That's it, happy and happy, one didn't pay attention, his stomach was angry, and he was really happy to fart.

The sound of "poof" is particularly clear.

Inevitably, it attracted more contempt for him......

But to tell the truth, in fact, you really can't blame Ning Weimin, blame him for being so stinky and beautiful, blame him for being so visionless.

Mainly because he was too bitter in the days when he came back, and he was completely enduring humiliation and moving forward.

Seriously, the time he had the most money in his pocket was the last time he sold blood to save people in the hospital.

As a result, the sixty yuan was returned to the hospital without covering the heat.

Afterwards, it was just eggs, brown sugar, and millet porridge, and there was nothing meaty.

It's like confinement, and it's shared equally with Old Man Kang.

usually eats three meals a day, and he has already given him a vegetarian stomach.

That is, ten days ago, I really arrived at the garbage dump in the eastern suburbs, and the standard of living improved slightly.

But he didn't have any money left in his hands.

Because he has his own purpose in making money, all he cares about is to run the post office and use all the money he can spend to buy baby monkey tickets.

I worked for ten days, bought every day, and saved twelve full-page tickets.

Because of this, Old Man Kang had a big opinion, and said that he had a brain disease, and the money was wasted on things that didn't eat and drink.

No, after all, it is two generations, and this old man's thinking is also limited, and he does not recognize the investment concept of stamps.

So speaking of which, the leisurely days of drinking Moutai, steaming sauna, playing mahjong, and ordering lobster in his previous life are too far away from him.

It's like a hundred years of memory, almost faded to the point that it's almost completely gone.

Now he can't wait to die when he sees a plate of braised pork, and he blames himself for being pitiful.

Besides, how high is the gold content of a hundred yuan in this year?

At this time, the average monthly living expenses of Beijing residents were only about 10 yuan.

An adult's monthly salary of dozens of yuan can basically support a family of three.

Even after 2010, there was a professor at Beijing Normal University who made a special assessment of the gold content of the "10,000 households" that appeared in the 80s, and published an authoritative academic research report for this.

The professor believes that with the erosion of inflation in the past 30 years, the 10,000 yuan of that year is basically equivalent to the current "2.55 million"!

If measured by this standard, the 100 yuan in 1980 would be at least equivalent to today's 25,005, or even more.

You can earn this amount in a day, and no one can be happy, right?

And the most important thing is that money is still secondary, and the sense of accomplishment is more important.

You must know that this is the first time in Ning Weimin's life that he has successfully converted his wisdom into cash income.

The excitement, confidence, excitement, and pride that this business brought to him completely dispelled his discomfort with this era.

It is no less than the joy that he mastered the art of scratching and stamping the cancelled ticket and retouching it into a new ticket in his previous life, and succeeded in making a successful shot for the first time.

To put it bluntly, I have been emotionally suppressed for too long, and it is rare to see a little sunshine, so it will naturally be brilliant.

As a riotous person who basically can't get along with high-end fun.。

He was able to restrain himself, and he was already very low-key without twisting his ass and shouting "oh, yes".

............

It's easy to go out, but it's hard to go back.

Ning Weimin's process of entering the house was a bit verbose, because he had a lot of things to do.

The first thing to do, of course, was to carry a heavy sack to the scrap yard of the material recycling company to sell copper.

Since going to the eastern suburbs garbage dump, Ning Weimin has often been to the Baiziwan Acquisition Station.

Not for anything else, although I don't want to be "black" by the eastern suburbs scrap station, but I also have to be as close as possible to be convenient.

But today, he changed his previous rules, deliberately worked hard, and took the bus back to the scrap station at the front door to shoot.

It's just because this is the home field at home, he knows that the people inside do things according to the rules, and they won't treat him badly.

Sure enough, in the days of selling waste paper, the "Da Lao Liu" people I knew were not black.

After checking the fineness with a magnet and putting things on the scales, I happily gave the money according to the amount and specifications.

Although quite amazed at the number and weight of the copper pieces、

But "Da Lao Liu" didn't die, and begged Bai Lai to ask where these things came from.

After all, the thing is not new, and it is too disorganized, so you can know that there will be no problem with the source at a glance.

In this way, one hundred and ninety-three yuan and four successfully arrived in Ning Weimin's hands, but he was really worthy of his hot sweat.

The second thing, of course, is to get a watch for the "general" and buy things for the blind runners.

The trust shop at Qianmen is on the west side of Qianmen Street, next to the location of the bicycle shop.

To Ning Weimin's surprise, the eighty-two Huhai brand watches in the store were gone, and they had been sold.

The more suitable one on the counter is only a seventy percent new peacock produced in Dandong.

The price is even lower, only seventy.

Although it looks obviously old, and there are many scratches on the table, it doesn't matter.

As long as there is nothing wrong with the movement, it can be walked accurately.

Ning Weimin bought it with confidence.

According to the plan, as soon as he left the trust store with his front foot, he turned with his back foot and entered the Hengdeli watch store, which is still called "Morning Bell".

Then I paid five yuan to pick a brand new piece of watchmanship, and spent two yuan on polishing and cleaning fees.

In just forty minutes, the watchmaker was asked to retouch the watch.

The craftsmanship of the famous shop master is not blowing.

As long as the back cover is not opened, no one can tell that this watch is old.

It is more than enough to pass the "general" level.

Of course, in this waiting process, Ning Weimin did not delay his work.

First, I went to grocery stores and department stores to buy other things that the blind people wanted.

I bought some food for myself and Old Man Kang.

Finally, I crossed the street and ran to the post office.

Before closing, I bought seventeen full-page monkey tickets in one go, and then came back to pick up the watch.

When all these things were done, it was six o'clock in the evening.

If you go home at this time, it will really be a perfect ending.

No need to ask, looking at Ning Weimin at this time, the joy on his face was completely from the heart.

Although hungry and exhausted, he was also relaxed.
