Section 29 Fight the scrapyard again
Wu Jihou was beaten, and the most intuitive feeling for Lu Li was that life at home had become difficult, and there were two men in the family who went to work to make money, and they could have an income of 100 yuan a month, which was a lot at that time. The old man drank alcohol every day, and his uncle and his wife smoked every day, and they could completely cope with it, but suddenly a large part of it was reduced, and all kinds of expenses had to be reduced, and Wu Baokun and his wife had no choice but to quit smoking -- although the old man continued to drink, the amount was much less.
Although Lu Li is small, he has a lot of eyes, and at the beginning of his uncle and aunt quitting smoking, he coughed at night, listened to it in his ears, and hurt in his heart, always thinking that if he could buy them a box of cigarettes, so that the two of them could satisfy their hunger, how good would it be? But where to get the money?
After wandering outside until dark, Luli returned to his house, his aunt and uncle were talking in the courtyard, and when he saw two people standing there, especially his uncle, the child felt that his eyes lit up: there was a way!
The next morning, Lu Li got up early, packed up his small bed, lit a fire, boiled water, washed diapers, and finished all these routine things. He smiled secretly, pushed the cart, and went out all the way.
His brain is really very flexible, and he saw his uncle at home - from 1966 to 1968, fighting, raiding homes, fighting, and seizing power reached the highest level, and the public procuratorate and law, which was a state machine, were all knocked down and smashed! As a police officer at the police station, he was also sent home - he usually didn't even dare to wear an old dark blue police uniform to go out! It can be seen how powerful this violent trend is.
At this time, if you want to get a little more metal to sell as scrap, there should be no problem, right? There are no more police, who else is going to arrest themselves? Thinking that he could exchange scrap for a little money to come back and subsidize his family, Luli was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night!
When he went out to the outside of the city, it was early in the morning of September, and all he could see was weeds as high as a man, and the surroundings were desolate. There were many large and small iron ingots outside the city - and Luli learned a long time later that many of them were the product of the 'great steelmaking' period, and that all the villages had built earthen blast furnaces to refine iron objects from all over the world, and many children had even brought their own frying spoons, locks, and keys!
Who knew that after the smelting, all that was obtained was a black, completely unformed iron ingot, and when this enthusiasm passed, some of it was taken away by the iron works, and more were discarded at will and fell in all corners of the city. Put all the wires, pieces of iron, and pieces of iron that can be moved into the car, and then push the car and go straight to the scrap yard where it was last time.
It was still the short, stocky, blue-coat consignee who stared at him for a while, "Where did you come from?" ”
"Pick up ......" Lu Li hated himself for being unproductive, thinking about not stammering, and the words in the end were still the same, it was difficult to make a sentence, "Pick up...... Come on! ”
"Picked up? It wasn't stolen, was it? Is there a proof? ”
Lu Li's bright eyes turned, and he suddenly remembered a sentence in the "Quotations", "The great leader taught us!" He suddenly stopped stuttering at all at a critical moment, "We should believe in the masses, we should believe in the party, these are the two fundamental principles." If you doubt these two principles, you can't do anything. ”
The other party looked him up and down a few times, and seemed to think that it was a novelty for such a young child to quote "Quotations", but he didn't dare to say such words, otherwise, even if a child caught the fault in his words, he might be put on the line, and he would face the fate of being knocked down immediately!
Lu Li looked at her for a while, and the woman finally looked away, and weighed the metal products on his board car one by one, fifty catties and seven taels, and sold for 8.11 yuan. It wasn't until the female receiver put the banknotes in his hand that Luli was sure that all this was true!
Squeeze the eight dollars, put a few cents in your pocket, and the child turned around and ran! rushed out a few steps, turned back, bowed respectfully to the woman, and then ran out without looking back!
Pushing the cart all the way home, the family had just gotten up, and my aunt was busy with the family's breakfast, when she heard the voice, she scolded her head, "If you get up in the morning, it's not enough for you to be crazy!" What did you do again? What about fire chopsticks? Where did you go? ”
Luli was stunned, oops! Guy forgot out of town! He didn't care, he took his aunt's hand and dragged him into the house, "What are you doing, Xiaoxiao!" What are you doing? ”
Entering the house, Luli opened his hand and "give ......"
"Oops, why is there so much money?" Yu Fang was taken aback, "How did you get it?" Little! Don't get into trouble! Bao Chai, Bao Chai? ”
"Waste, waste...... Product! Lu Li blushed and said proudly.
"What are you talking about?" Yu Fang didn't understand, her uncle just stepped into the house, she handed over the money, "Look at it, Xiaoxiao got it back." ”
There was no way, Lu Li had to tell his uncle again, Wu Baokun frowned deeply, he guessed a few points, "Xiaoxiao, it's the same as last time, picking up waste and selling it, right?" ”
"Yes!" Luli exclaimed, "Uncle...... Uncle Uncle ...... Mom, buy ...... Buy, buy, buy, buy! ”
Wu Baokun and Yu Fang glanced at each other, their hearts were hot, the child is really sensible! …… He also didn't know what to do with it, the child picked up waste to sell, it was not a big deal, but it always felt a little wrong to let a child do such a thing, "Okay," he said to his wife, "The money is not crooked, so keep it." In the future, Xiaoxiao, are you not allowed to go? ”
Don't say that Lu Li can't listen to such words, even Yu Fang doesn't think so, after being moved and puzzled, she suddenly found that this kind of child's picking up waste to sell doesn't seem to be an unacceptable way, on the contrary, it's a very good way to make money! He can get back eight dollars in the morning when he goes out, and it's just the kid himself, what if I go with him? How much can it be sold for?
