Chapter 9 Collect the rags, collect the rags
"Collect the rags, collect the rags, scrap iron, scrap copper, scrap plastic basins, broken radios, broken TVs. ”
On July 12, 1998, Yang An rode a three-wheeled bicycle and sold it along the streets of Anchengli. At this moment, Yang An was wearing a shabby straw hat on his head, wearing a washed white tattered military uniform, and his trousers were rolled up to his knees, looking like a "migrant worker".
The conditions in the city are good, and everyone throws a lot of waste products, although they are really waste products, almost no use value. In this era, everything that has use value is squeezed and used cleanly.
After turning around, Yang An came to Ancheng No. 1 Middle School again, he didn't come here to feel nostalgic, but to collect waste, because he knew that there were much more waste products in schools and public institutions than in ordinary families.
"Uncle Wang, come to a cigarette and take a rest. Yang An skillfully got out of the car, parked, took out a cigarette, handed it over, a dragon, very skilled.
"Xiao Yang, you're here again, oops, how many times have I told you, I can't call the shots about this, look at you, why do you bother with this. The old man in the duty room took Yang An's cigarette while saying his refusal. Yang An has invested a lot of money, ten yuan a pack of cigarettes, this era is considered a good cigarette.
"Uncle Wang, don't do that, just sit with you, you see that you haven't talked to you all day, I just happened to pass by here every day, just rest for a while, it's good. Yang An poured himself a glass of water very familiarly and drank it happily.
"Alas, your uncle and I have lived for most of my life, how can I not see what you want to do, boy, this thing is not so easy. Uncle Wang glanced at Yang An and took a deep puff of his cigarette.
"Uncle, I know it's not easy, I don't plan to eat too much, just give me some leftovers, I can change some money to pay tuition, our tuition fee is not low, and I have to pay all kinds of material fees every year, and I paid 50 yuan for the gymnasium last year." ”
The old man twitched the corners of his eyes, sighed, and said, "Okay, I'll go and ask first, there are a lot of expired newspapers, magazines, and rolls in our reference room." Come over early tomorrow. ”
"Okay, come to Uncle Wang, pick up a cigarette. You always rest, I'll go for a spin. After getting the answer he wanted, Yang Anxin was very happy, and he even stepped on the tricycle much harder.
"We people should be happy today, and our people are really happy today...... Oops, who, who. Yang An sang a little proudly, and suddenly a broken shoe slapped his face, the smell was so sour.
Yang An stopped the car, looked at it, and was a little angry, it's true that people are not qualified now, but it doesn't matter, we people are really happy today.
"Yes, that's him!"
Yang An was about to ride forward when four or five people suddenly rushed out, with fierce faces and thick wooden sticks in their hands. Yang An didn't know what was going on at all, only to see this group of people rushing in front of Yang An, and without saying a word, they greeted Yang An with their heads and faces.
"Hey, hey, who are you, what are you doing, hey, hey, did you recognize the wrong person. , ah~"
Yang An shouted while hiding, it was really hard to beat four hands with two fists, and in the chaos, he grabbed something on the tricycle and waved it indiscriminately.
"Ah~"
"Be careful, be careful, don't fight, stop. ”
Yang An held his head and waved it a few times, and found that the swords and sticks were gone, so he also stopped, looking at the four or five people in front of him, it was really inexplicable, it seemed that people could not get carried away.
"Hey, boy, where did you get that bottle?" shouted somebody.
Bottle, what bottle? Yang An looked at it, it turned out that in the panic, he was holding a beautiful vase, which looked like it was some years old, it should be an antique or something. When is this bottle on its own tricycle?
"Holy,. Yang An asked for it casually, and the bottle was lost.
"Be careful! don't lose it!" A strong man on the opposite side stepped forward, stretched out his hands into the air, and his expression was like a sister Lin falling from the sky, and he wanted to continue, "Give it to me." ”
Hmmm? They want this, no, they can't give it to him. Yang An grabbed the bottle and hid it behind him: "Why?"
"That's mine! Give it to me, you thief. ”
Thief! Yang An became angry, and was beaten up in a daze and treated as a thief: "Fuck you, who is the thief, ah, you made it clear, no, I want to call the police." ”
"You can't go, you can't leave if you don't make the bottle clear today. The other man shouted again.
"You are unreasonable, you said that this bottle is yours, what evidence do you have!"
"You thief still talk about evidence, okay, I'll let you die, did they come. The strong man turned his head and asked the people around him. Everyone around them turned their heads to look.
"Hey, here we are. ”
"Boy, you have to suffer now, hmph, you still want to call the police, we still want to call the police to arrest you, beat you up first and then call the police. ”
As she spoke, a woman hurriedly ran over with a little girl, who was obviously crying, and her eyes were still red. Well, how did this little girl get so familiar.
"Nannan, did this person deceive your bottle?" couldn't wait for the little girl to take a breath, so the strong man pulled her in front of Yang An, pointed at Yang An and asked.
"Hey, you can make it clear, although I am a poor harvester, I never steal, cheat or rob. Yang An waited for the little girl to get closer, only to remember that it was a girl he met in the morning, holding a bottle and saying that he wanted to recycle, he knew at a glance that the little girl was hungry and wanted to exchange some pocket money to buy snacks, but Yang An was in tatters, but it was not subject to shareholders, besides, he wanted this antique and had nowhere to sell it, saying that he gave the child two cents and asked her to buy candy to eat. However, when did he run to his tricycle when he didn't ask for this bottle?
The little girl looked at Yang An, her eyes were a little evasive, and she began to cry again.
"Look, it's not accepted yet, our family is scared and crying by you, you little liar, thief!"
"Who are you talking about, I also said that you are acting, don't you just want to extort money?"
The two of you quarreled, and I quarreled. Fortunately, in the small alley, there are not many people on such a hot day.
………………
Wang Zilong took off his shirt and pushed the cart, while his younger brother Wang Zixuan walked beside him. If Yang An was here, he might remember that Wang Zixuan was the silent boy who sat next to him when he went home.
The two happened to pass by, and the noise still attracted their attention, Wang Zixuan frowned and looked at it, and saw that Yang An had his demeanor in the car in the "Tongue Battle Group", and he remembered it immediately.
"Brother, go over and take a look. ”
"Huh? Okay. "Wang Zilong is very strange that his younger brother actually wants to join in the fun today, so let's go over and have a look.
At this time, Yang An was guarding the bottle and said very resolutely: "I don't care what you say, it's okay to return this bottle, you prove that this bottle is yours, and then you have to apologize to me, and ......" Yang An moved his body and looked at it, "Forget it, that's it." ”
"No, you give me the bottle first, or I'll arrest you and take you to the Public Security Bureau. ”
"Okay, I want to go to the Public Security Bureau too. ”
"You give it to me first. ”
"Don't give it!"
"Brother, he's my classmate, I don't think he's a liar thief. Wang Zixuan whispered to Wang Zilong.
"Hmm. ”
Wang Zilong stepped forward. Those few people suddenly stopped talking, and Yang An was still scolding.
"Ahem, listen to me a few words, my brother said, he is not a thief, Da Zhuang, you apologize, you see, it is not easy for you to force people. Wang Zilong said a few words to the strong man, turned his head and said to Yang An, "Little brother, you give him the bottle, this is their family, and the baby is not good." ”
"Wang Hezi, you don't ...... nosy" Someone over there was not convinced, but the shouting stopped abruptly.
"Okay. The big man nodded.
"Hey, classmate, it's me, you give it back to him. It's just a misunderstanding. Wang Zixuan looked at Yang An with a vigilant look, and had no choice but to look at it himself.
"yes, okay. I'm not a thief, though, and I'm not a liar. "To be honest, Yang An is tired and a little afraid, he is against four or five people alone, and they are all local, which is really indefensible. Now there is just one step, so forget it, but he is determined not to allow his reputation to be ruined.
"That's okay, that's it, Da Zhuang, the bottle is for you, you apologize to the little brother. Wang Zilong took the bottle from Yang An's hand and said to Da Zhuang.
Da Zhuang stopped talking, looked at his daughter, and then looked at Wang Zilong, and then Yang An said, "I'm sorry." ”
Yang An waved his hand: "Let's go." ”
Da Zhuang led a group of people away, Yang An kept looking at the little girl, the little girl secretly meowed at Yang An, saw Yang An looking at her and quickly turned her head. Yang An shook his head helplessly. In this world, you can get beaten even if you are a fucking good person, it's really fucking.
After coming back to his senses, Yang An looked at the two and said, "Thank you, my name is Yang An, collect the rags, please ask what to call them." ”
"Wang Zilong, everyone calls me Wang Hezi. ”
"Thank you, Brother Zilong. ”
"Hello, thank you, Mr. Wang. ”
"You're welcome, they're all classmates. ”
Looking at the two brothers, Yang An grinned, and suddenly smiled again.
