Step by step, after breakfast, Guo went to Jinpen Village with his uncle Changjiang.

When he went to pick up his mother yesterday, he was going to pave the way for collecting scrap, but he forgot about it and had to start over again today.

There are ten villages in Jinpen Village, and he went to the Heshi Group in Jinpen Village, which is where his grandfather was located.

Starting from this village can allow him to quickly win the trust of the people in the surrounding villages, and most of the people in the Heshi Group trust Guo Qu.

Because Guo's grandfather is a big house, there are two rooms, three rooms, and one room under him, plus each room has been spent, and there are many people.

In addition, his grandfather's father, surnamed Wu, had a very good brother surnamed Zhang, and because he had no heirs, his grandfather was fostered in the Zhang family.

The first child was fostered to others, which shows how good the relationship between the two is, in this way, Guo Qu's grandfather has a good relationship with the Zhang family in the village, not brothers, but brothers.

The Zhang family and the Wu family together account for sixty percent of the population of the village, and as long as Guo goes to collect waste, as long as there is waste at home, they will definitely sell it to him.

Parking the car on the side of the road, the three of them each carried a backpack, and went down the path by the field to the end, first going to their grandfather's house.

At this time, the weather was hot, and the rice that had been threshed in the morning was drying on the mat, while his grandfather had placed a bamboo mat outside the hall and was taking a nap on it.

The sound of the dog barking woke up the napping village, and Guo Qu's grandfather was naturally also woken up, he got up and sat down for a while, and began to turn the grain with a rake.

The so-called rake is something like a rake, under which there are rectangular wooden strips like human teeth, but the "teeth" are spaced apart, and the position left is for the millet to leak through when it is used to achieve the purpose of turning the grain.

The blazing sun shines on the mat of grain, and the air is filled with the fragrance of fresh millet, which makes people smell drowsy.

Guo Qu's grandfather finished turning the grain, yawned, and was about to go to bed, when Guo Qu and the three of them happened to walk into the yard.

"Xiao Ming?"

"Grandpa. ”

"What's wrong? Why is it coming again? Did your mother forget something?"

"No, I'm here to collect scrap. ”

"Scrap collection?"

……

A series of dialogues are particularly embarrassing, but there is no way, rural people are pragmatic and say whatever they want, compared with taciturnity, such a dialogue is still much better.

After his grandfather listened to Guo's words, he went into the house and took a stove pot and a wooden plow, and there was a large thick but rusty iron on the wooden plow, and three cracks could be seen if he looked closely.

Then the old man went back to the house and took two broken sickles, and then pointed to the wooden plough on the ground:

"I have been reluctant to sell this plow, I have used it for more than ten years, I went to plow the land in the spring, when I passed by the cliff, I fell from the cliff and fell into three pieces, and I have not had time to take it to electric welding, it has only been less than half a year, and it is so much rust that I can no longer use it, so you might as well sell it for some money. ”

Guo went to inspect it visually, and these scrap iron must add up to fifty or sixty catties, which is forty-two yuan according to the market price.

He didn't weigh the scales, but put them directly into the back basket, and then Grandpa He sat down and talked for a while, and then walked to the second grandfather's house next door.

His grandfather was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he followed him.

"Is the second grandfather at home?"

"Who?"

Crunch-~

The sound of opening the wooden door sounded, and then Guo went to his second grandfather and walked out, "It's Xiao Ming, is there anything wrong with your second grandfather?"

The second grandfather did not talk to Guo Qu's grandfather, at this point, many people must think that the relationship between the two is not good, but in fact, it is not.

There is a strange phenomenon in the countryside, when the brothers become adults, especially when they are two or three years apart in age. The two of them neither like to call people brother or brother, nor do they like to call people by their names directly, and even when there is nothing to do, they don't speak directly, and even if they do, they are just a "you" word instead.

It's not that the relationship is bad, and even many of these brothers have a good relationship, and if there are any good things, they also think about each other.

It's just that I've developed a habit and can't change it.

Obviously, Guo Qu's grandfather and his second grandfather are like this.

explained his intentions, his second grandfather didn't say anything, turned around and went back to the house, made a tinkle on the next floor, and after a while, he carried a load of scrap down.

You can take all of these, and I'll keep them.

His second grandfather was not ready to ask for money, but he couldn't help but give it, but his second grandfather was like this, which made Guo go bad for business.

He glanced at the waste products in his back vaguely, and after roughly estimating that it was about twenty or thirty catties, he took out twenty-five yuan and handed it directly to his second grandfather. The second grandfather shirked it, and Guo Qu said, "I'm doing business, not anything else, you have to accept this money, otherwise I won't dare to take away these scrap iron." ”

In fact, it means "to ask for food", and many people in this era do not understand the collection of waste products, and in their opinion, this is the same as picking up garbage on the street to eat, especially when Guo goes to collect things at the door.

Of course, his second grandfather didn't mean this, and he didn't have the slightest dissatisfaction with his collection of waste, but he had to explain clearly that he was a waste collector, not a poor person who picked up garbage like the Yangtze River.

It's business, not food.

When it came to this, it wouldn't work if he didn't accept it, his second grandfather took the money, returned Guo to five yuan, and then put two twenty yuan into his pocket.

The deal is done.

Guo Qu faintly felt that his second grandfather was very powerful, maybe it was an illusion, but the money charged by this old man happened to be the price of the scrap he took out.

This time, the thirty catties of scrap iron, plus the sixty catties that Guo Qu's grandfather took out before, are just ninety catties, and if you are ninety catties, you only need to load one or twenty catties to carry the Yangtze River once.

Without stopping, Guo went to the next family with a few people on his back, and his grandfather also memorized it, it seemed that he was ready to give him a hand, no matter how many times Guo persuaded him, the old man would not go back.

If he can't persuade him, Guo Qu won't persuade him anymore, the old man wants to help him, if he doesn't want to, it is estimated that it will make his grandfather sad.

Silent, but very pragmatic, they feel they can help, even if you don't call them, they will come to help. This is how their generation, and even their next generation, express their affection in this way.

Guo went to his grandfather like this, and his uncle was like this, this can't be changed.

The afternoon was spent in a busy place, Guo went to feel better, his grandfather and the other three people, but the tired clothes seemed to have fallen into the water, which shows how much sweat they had in the afternoon.

Sitting on the ridge on the side of the road, silently smoking a cigarette and resting, the sun was about to set.

In addition, the price of goods: The prices I wrote in my book were either experienced by myself or asked the elders or the elders in the village, which must be true. As for why there is a difference, it can only be said that it is a regional reason.

Some people also commented, so poor, where did the sofa come from, that is a cool sofa, that is, a bamboo sofa, completely inlaid by bamboo and wooden boards, I remember that the old sofa in my house was used to fix the wooden wedges instead of nails, so please be more patient, you have not experienced it is not nothing, please do not show up to say, after all, China is very large, and the situation in each place is different, and you can't just rely on one-sided words to overturn a fact.
