When he woke up, it was already early the next morning, Zheng Zhishang reached out and touched his arms, the arms were empty, and then his face changed, he immediately turned over and sat up, turned over and looked for it, and after a while, the range expanded to the bed, under the pillow and under the mattress, Zheng Zhishang turned it over.

"Hehe" After a long time, Zheng Zhishang seemed to be crazy again, patted his head, and smirked, but he almost forgot that he collected the money when he took a bath yesterday.

This made Grandma Huang, who happened to enter the house, see it, and startled Grandma Huang, thinking that something happened to Zheng Zhishang? Concern: "Xingxing, what's wrong?" ”

"I'm fine, Grandma." Zheng Zhishang smiled and got up to get dressed.

"It's okay, I scared Grandma just now." Grandma Huang breathed a sigh of relief, and while making the bed, she said with pity: "Xingxing, I haven't slept for a long time." Last night, Grandma came to ask you to eat, seeing that you slept soundly, I didn't call you, now I'm hungry, go Grandma made you something delicious. ”

"Hmm" Zheng Zhishang nodded honestly, since he left his aunt's house, he hadn't slept a peaceful sleep for six days.

Grandma Huang seemed to be talking to herself, and said to Zheng Zhishang: "After eating, Grandma is taking you out, you see what you need, Grandma will help you buy it." ”

Zheng Zhishang paused slightly, but he didn't expect that this grandma, who had just met, would take such good care of herself, and said in her heart that it was false not to be moved, and she said "um", "Grandma, aren't you going to work today?" ”

Grandma Huang said with a smile: "Today, on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Grandma is resting. ”

Grandma Huang's home, like Zheng Zhishang's house, is about 30 square meters, separated by a blue lotus step, with a bedroom inside, a dining room outside, and a kitchen in the corridor outside. The furniture is old-fashioned, and the paint has peeled off, but the whole room is clean, tidy, and smelly.

Breakfast was simple, rice porridge with pickles, but Zheng Zhishang's bowl had an extra omelette. I think it was grandma who specially fried Zheng Zhishang.

After breakfast, Zheng Zhishang went back to the house again before going out with Grandma Huang. Grandma Huang was obviously in a good mood, and when people asked, she said that Zheng Zhishang was her grandson. Zheng Zhishang didn't explain this, but politely called grandma, uncle, and grandfather.

Perhaps because of the Spring Festival, the shops on the streets are closed, and there are not many people, and it is not as lively as the festival in the previous life.

Following Grandma Huang, under the introduction of Grandma Huang, Zheng Zhishang also had the heart to appreciate the city for the first time, and at the same time silently wrote down the streets he walked through. The two moved to a nearby farmers' market, where Grandma Huang asked Zheng Zhishang what he wanted to eat.

Zheng Zhishang is not picky about eating, but when he saw Grandma Huang's eager gaze, he still said a few vegetables. As for meat, Zheng Zhishang will not order it, with Grandma Huang's salary, it is enough to support himself, but it is still difficult to eat well, but after bargaining, Grandma Huang still bought half a catty of pork.

Later, Zheng Zhishang was given some daily necessities. Originally, Zheng Zhishang wanted to pay for it himself, but before going out, Zheng Zhishang went back to the house and took ten yuan and put it in his pocket.

When Grandma Huang saw the money in Zheng Zhishang's hand, she was also stunned at first, and asked, "Xingxing, where did you get this money?" ”

Seeing Grandma Huang's somewhat stern face, Zheng Zhishang knew that she had misunderstood, "Grandma, don't be angry, I didn't steal this money, I didn't rob it, it was left to me by my Abba when he left." ”

Hearing Zheng Zhishang's explanation, I don't know if Grandma Huang believed it or not, but Grandma Huang didn't blame Zheng Zhishang, but said earnestly: "Xingxing, although we are poor, we can't do things that are sorry for our conscience, you know?" ”

"Well, Grandma, the stars know, Abba and Grandma have taught the stars this before, and the stars have always remembered it in their hearts and didn't dare to forget it." Regarding Grandma Huang's teachings, Zheng Zhishang nodded very obediently, and said with a serious face:

In the end, Grandma Huang didn't let Zheng Zhishang spend money, but asked Zheng Zhishang to put the money away and keep it.

When she returned home at noon, Grandma Huang began to prepare lunch, and Zheng Zhishang also went back to the house and found out the somewhat dirty package that was stuffed under the bed yesterday, in addition to his father's previous notebook, a pen, and the household registration book brought out by Zheng Zhishang, it was a change of clothes.

After moving a chair, Zheng Zhishang lay on the table and wrote and drew in his notebook.

"Stars, what are you writing about?" Maybe he was too fascinated, and even when Grandma Huang came in, Zheng Zhishang didn't notice it.

"Didn't write anything? It's just scribbling ......"

Before Zheng Zhishang finished speaking, Grandma Huang took the notebook where Zheng Zhishang was writing and drawing, and after flipping through a few pages, she didn't know if she understood? However, Zheng Zhishang is not worried, because the pages he just wrote and painted are the design drawings of some electronic appliances, in this era when electrical appliances are not yet popular.

Grandma Huang has never even seen electrical appliances, so naturally she can't understand it, even if she understands it, it can be pushed to her father, as long as she says that this is what her father left for herself, it will be.

But fortunately, Grandma Huang was just a little surprised and asked, "Xingxing, you can write, these are all written by you." ”

"Hmm...... He taught me when Abba was there. Zheng Zhishang replied honestly:

"Xingxing, you honestly tell Grandma, did you run out of the house?"

This is terrible, Grandma Huang actually suspected that she had smuggled out of the house, although Zheng Zhishang was also considered to have sneaked out of the house, and quickly shook his head and explained: "Grandma, I didn't sneak out ......of the house, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, I don't believe it" Worried that Grandma Huang really didn't believe it, she opened the household registration book she brought out to show Grandma Huang.

"My aunt left after giving birth to my brother and sister, and my father also left last year......"

"What about your brother and sister? Why didn't I stay with you? ”

"Brother and Sister are still young, and Xingxing can't take them with them, so they can only be entrusted to ......"

"Okay, good boy, don't cry, if you have grandma to eat in the future, you won't be hungry, good, don't cry......" didn't wait for Zheng Zhishang to finish crying with tears in his eyes. Grandma Huang couldn't bear it, and she hugged Zheng Zhishang in her arms and comforted her.

At this time, in order to prevent Grandma Huang from sending him back, Zheng Zhishang could only be a poor child once, in order to ask Grandma Huang to be kind, in fact, the effect is still good, at least Grandma Huang will not doubt Zheng Zhishang's life experience.

After the second day of the Lunar New Year, Grandma Huang was about to start sweeping the streets again, and Zheng Zhishang also followed. Originally, Grandma Huang didn't agree, and she didn't worry, in case she got lost. However, Zheng Zhishang insisted on going out, and said to Grandma Huang: "Grandma, don't worry, I have already written down all the roads around here, and I won't get lost, and I won't lose it if I follow you." ”

"Grandma, no one collects these jars and waste paper?" Zheng Zhishang soon found that the garbage at this time was not sorted and disposed of, and it was all thrown into the trash can.

"Who's going to take these?"

"Oh...... Is there a recycling station nearby? ”

"Yes, yes, what's wrong with the stars?"

"No ......" In the past two days, Zheng Zhishang has been thinking about how he should survive and gain a foothold in this city, and now he can't help but feel a little moved when he looks at these waste papers, bottles and cans. In the previous life, these could be recycled as waste, but I don't know if the waste recycling station in this period will accept these things.

With this idea, Zheng Zhishang quickly took action and persuaded Grandma Huang to sort and dispose of the garbage cans and sweeps, and put the bottles and cans in good condition, paper and so on.

When it was noon, she asked Grandma Huang to take the few waste products she pulled to the waste recycling station. The waste paper is okay, the recycling station still collects, as for those bottles and cans, although they are also collected, but they are very picky, and they don't want to be a little incomplete.

Although the number of scrap items for the first time was not large, it also added up to a few cents of the sale. However, Zheng Zhishang is already very happy, at least at this time, it is feasible to collect the rags. And now there is no collection of rags, and you have to send them to the recycling station yourself to dispose of them.

If you collect it at a lower price than the recycling station, there should be many people who are willing to sell their waste products to themselves and earn the difference from it, and there is no competitive pressure, and the whole city can become their own source of waste purchase, which is also a good way to make money.

After making up his mind, Zheng Zhishang immediately began to prepare, and under the leadership of Grandma Huang in her spare time, she also ran several recycling stations on the grounds of selling waste products, and roughly figured out the purchase price of waste products at these recycling stations.

Zheng Zhishang used the money from selling scrap products these days, plus the ten yuan he had in his pocket, to buy a few small wheels, wooden planks and so on from several recycling stations. After returning home, he used these things, through Grandma Huang, to find a carpenter, and made a sketch by himself, and made a rectangular four-wheeled cart about 1.5 meters long, about 1 meter wide, and 20 centimeters high.

On all four sides of the cart, there is a fence with a height of 20 centimeters. At the same time, he also asked the master carpenter to make a wooden sign with the extra wooden board, and the sketch of the wooden card was also drawn by Zheng Zhishang for the master carpenter, as long as it was done.

At the same time, Zheng Zhishang pestered Grandma Huang to teach herself to use a rod scale. At this time, there is no electronic scale, the rod scale is relatively common, although the strength is small, not much to move, Zheng Zhishang is not worried about this, will recognize it, there is always a way to solve it.

Although Grandma Huang also asked Zheng Zhishang what he was going to do, Zheng Zhishang just smiled and said, "Grandma, you'll know when I'm ready." ”

The carpenter master is still very efficient, the next day he made the car and sent it over, Zheng Zhishang put the strap on his weak shoulder, in the alley outside the small building, try to pull for a while, the effect is still very good, very lightweight, labor-saving, even if it is loaded with dozens of pounds of things, Zheng Zhishang is also confident and pulls.

Zheng Zhishang asked for some ink from an uncle next door, dipped his fingers in ink, and wrote on the wooden sign the big characters of waste recycling, newspapers, old books and other items, and also wrote the price of the repossession. Although the words are twisted and crooked, there is no beauty, but fortunately, they are recognizable.

After everything was ready, Zheng Zhishang was also a little impatient to find Grandma Huang and pulled her to the trolley.

However, Grandma Huang did not have the joy that Zheng Zhishang imagined, but frowned, "Xingxing, you are still young, after a few years, Grandma has money, isn't it good to send you to school?" ”

In fact, Zheng Zhishang understood what Grandma Huang meant, although at this time, reform and opening up were already being implemented, but being admitted to university and assigned to the unit was the right way. Zheng Zhishang shook his head and said with the appearance of a little adult: "Grandma, the stars are not small, and the stars still have a brother and sister to take care of for them to go to school." In the future, I will bring them all here, and Xingxing will buy a big house for Grandma to live in......"

Listening to Zheng Zhishang's bold words, although Grandma Huang was skeptical about it, although Zheng Zhishang was very good, but buying a house was not for fun, it cost a lot of money, but she also showed a relieved smile on her face, "Okay, Grandma is waiting for the stars to buy a big house and enjoy happiness, but the stars still have to go to school......

Zheng Zhishang couldn't help but be stunned, why don't you want to go to school, this is my father's dream, but now I can go to the school to study? The answer is obviously no, but for Grandma Huang, Zheng Zhishang still smiled and nodded in agreement: "Well, Xingxing, I will go to study in the future." ”

The next day, Grandma Huang changed shifts with her colleagues, and insisted on going out with Zheng Zhishang uneasily. Although Xiamen is not a big city now, it is also a city anyway, and I am really worried that Zheng Zhishang, who is unfamiliar with life, will be lost.

Zheng Zhishang was also very moved in his heart, but he didn't refuse, there is an adult here, at least he won't suffer.

The waste recycling opened in this way, and it opened on the ninth day of the first lunar month, and Zheng Zhishang did not go to the street shops, but took the lead in going to the farmers' market and other places. In the memory of the previous life, shopping malls and supermarkets are the places with the most paper shells.

At this time, there were no shopping malls, supermarkets, farmers' markets and department stores, which were the most prosperous places, and there was a lot of natural waste. Every time he went to a grocery store, Zheng Zhishang would walk in and say politely: "Boss, if there is any waste to sell, I will collect the waste ......."

At this time, I didn't collect the rags, except that I began to feel novel, after asking Zheng Zhishang's price, I learned that the price was only a little lower than that of the recycling station, and the waste products were not worth a few dollars, so I nodded, "Yes, it's all in it......"

Grandma Huang has always been uneasy to follow Zheng Zhishang's side, and she will also chat with the boss for a few words, Lala is homely or something. However, when he weighed it, he didn't relax, staring intently at the rod scale, afraid that Zheng Zhishang would suffer.

However, Zheng Zhishang was a little disappointed that there were many huge markets, shops, and stalls, but the amount of waste received was not much, and the entire market ran most of the time before it was filled with trolleys.

Because no one collected it before, and it was not worth much, they were all directly lost, and some were sent to the recycling bin not long ago. So there wasn't much, but it finally got a start, and as long as these people knew that someone was coming to collect the scrap, they would keep it in the future.

Regardless of whether the scrap is received or not. Before leaving, Zheng Zhishang did not forget to say to the polite boss: "Boss, if there is waste in the future, you can save it, I will come to collect it every week, and the price will be satisfactory to you." ”

The boss also smiled and nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay ...... Lak"

With the help of Grandma Huang, the purchased waste products were sent to the recycling station and sold one by one. Although the profit from the purchase of scrap products is very thin, but little by little, there is also a profit of nearly five yuan, this is only one morning, ten yuan a day, and a month, it is not three hundred yuan.

This also surprised Grandma Huang that the garbage that was inconspicuous in the past could actually make money. However, only Zheng Zhishang understands that not every time you can receive so many waste products, and there will definitely be people to join this industry in the future, and it will be even more difficult when the time comes, and his only advantage is that he can do it earlier than them, and he can establish a stable source of waste products.

Since then, when Grandma Huang was sweeping the floor, she also began to sort the garbage, and everything that could be sold was packed in bags, and even asked her colleagues for help. This also gives Zheng Zhishang an additional source.
