Chapter Twenty-Three: Father Collects Waste
The night in other places always seems to come early, and before 8 o'clock in the evening, the people who have left the work return to the rental houses one after another, and they do not come out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Some are eating in their own rental houses, some are whispering, some are playing mahjong with mahjong friends, and the night is quiet and lonely in the remote suburbs.
After dinner, Shi Mo's family sat around the small rental house, chatting, Shi Youfu told what they had seen and heard in the prosperous city of Shenzhen during this time, Shi Qian and his grandmother listened very attentively, and Shi Mo Hache again and again.
"Don't you know, there are so many rich people here, in our village is a very expensive black and white TV, people here just throw it away, I picked it up next to the garbage heap, I was so happy, I hurriedly took it back, only to find out that it was broken." Shi Youfu said with his eyebrows fluttering.
"He also said that he wanted to take it back to his hometown, maybe many people rushed to ask for it, hehe......" Wu Fenhua joked about her husband.
"What about the TV?" Shi Qian looked around the rental house, as if looking for the black-and-white TV that his father had just said.
"I sold it to the East Gate to collect scrap, and it cost 50 yuan." Shi Youfu said happily.
"That's a lot of money?" Shi Qian said with a shocked expression.
50 yuan is indeed a lot, the current worker's salary, a month is about 300-500, a day is 10-20 yuan, pick up a broken black and white TV, it sells for 50 yuan, which is equivalent to 2-3 days of ordinary people's wages are higher.
"Not really, that's why I've been picking up waste here and there for the past few months, and I've made no less money than my part-time job, if not more." Shi Youfu said a little ostentatiously.
"Father, if you collect waste, will it be better than you pick up waste?" Shi Mo interjected impatiently.
"Scrap collection?" Shi Youfu muttered in thought.
"Yes, you see, you can make money by picking up waste, but the amount of people discarding is limited after all, like this kind of black and white TV, maybe many people have it, too lazy to take it out and throw it away, if you give some money and help him throw away the garbage, you can make money again, which is good for both parties, why not do it!" Seeing his father's expression, Shi Mo felt that there was a play, and hurriedly bewitched.
"What do you think?" Shi Youfu asked everyone.
"I think it's okay." Wu Fenhua's eyes lit up and said.
"I don't understand, you make up your own mind." Grandma Shi Mo shook her head.
"Father, the price of scrap, you basically know it in the past few months, you can buy a second-hand bicycle, while picking up garbage while buying, anyway, you also walk the streets and alleys every day, the price is low you will collect, the price is high you don't want, so that it will not delay your time, and you don't need to increase investment, at most it is the money of a second-hand bicycle, do you think that collecting scrap can not even make money back on a second-hand bicycle?" Shi Mo said while the iron was hot.
"That's definitely going to earn it back." Shi Youfu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he said in a decisive voice.
By his youngest son said this, his heart suddenly brightened, due to the inertia of thinking, he has only thought of how to pick up waste, did not think about collecting waste in the past, if he really collects waste, then the money must be much more than picking up waste, and the speed of money is probably faster.
The more Shi Youfu thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't wait to buy a bicycle tonight to collect scrap, which shows that he is extremely optimistic about the scrap collection industry.
After all, Shi Qian is still too young to understand very well, he looked at everyone a little blankly, he felt that picking up waste was so profitable, was it really like what his brother said, collecting waste was more profitable?
Although he didn't understand it very well, looking at his father's excited appearance, Shi Qian speculated in his heart, I'm afraid his brother's proposal was right.
This night, Shi Youfu and his wife negotiated in a whisper until late before going to bed, Shi Mo was in a daze in his sleep, and heard his father say vigorously, just do this, just do it.
The next morning, when Shi Mo woke up, he found that his father had already gone out as usual.
I heard my mother say that my father went out before dawn today, and explained to my mother that he would not come back for dinner today, and wanted to see if this method was feasible.
Shi Mo's father did not come back for breakfast and lunch, Shi Mo and the four of them simply ate some food, stayed in the rental house and did not go out, and his mother was afraid that his father would come back and wanted to wait in the house to make him stutter.
At eight o'clock in the evening, in the anxious waiting of everyone, Shi Youfu walked in happily with a lot of good dishes in his hand, and immediately said with a smile when he saw everyone: "I will add a meal to you today, Fenhua, heat these dishes, and we are ready to eat." ”
"Why did you come back so late, it made us all worry to death." Wu Fenhua stretched out her hand to take the dish handed over by Shi Youfu and said complainingly.
"It's a terrible day! If it continues like this, our family will become rich. Shi Youfu put a cold cup of boiled water on the windowsill, drank it all, and said excitedly.
"Father, you collected scrap today and received a lot of black and white TV sets?" Shi Qian asked with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Guess." Shi Youfu said after selling Guanzi.
Do you guess me or not, only Shi Qian, a stupid donkey, would be so curious. Shi Mo slandered in his heart.
Shi Mo was actually very curious in his heart, how much his father earned on the first day, but seeing that his father was selling off, he just didn't want to be fooled.
"Two." Shi Qian raised two fingers and said excitedly.
Shi Youfu smiled and shook his head slowly at Shi Qian, Wu Fenhua and Shi Mo's grandmother, washing vegetables on the balcony, looked at the appearance of their father and son and laughed softly.
"Five." Shi Qian guessed without giving up.
"It's six, I bought it for ten yuan, one changed hands and earned 40 yuan, and I earned 240 yuan together, plus some seven, seven, eight or eight things, I actually made a net profit of 386 yuan today." Shi Youfu picked up Shi Qian in front of him and said excitedly.
"How much?" Wu Fenhua stopped washing vegetables, stood up, looked at her husband in shock, and said.
"386 yuan." Stone is blessed.
"Really?" Wu Fenhua confirmed.
"Really." Shi Youfu looked at his wife and said solemnly.
"Ah Fu, this, this, this ......" Wu Fenhua said incoherently excitedly.
Her husband's average income of about 20 yuan a day used to be 386 yuan a day, which is almost catching up with other people's monthly salary, and Wu Fenhua can't be excited.
"Don't get excited, this is just the beginning." Shi Youfu said with a smile.
"Hehehe......" Wu Fenhua stood and smirked for a while, and then squatted down with a smile on the corner of her mouth to continue washing vegetables.
Shi Mo's grandmother also looked at the family of four with a smile on her face, and was happy for her daughter's family in her heart.
Shi Mo's family ate very happily this night, it seemed that there were endless words, they were excited to sleep late, and their parents were full of longing for the future, and Shi Youfu was even more motivated.
