Chapter 008: The Experience of Stealing Iron

Returning victorious, the companions were elated along the way, and the situation was as if they had repaired the dragon with their own hands. Xiaohu said: "I thought that big dragon was so powerful, he was beaten by the boss one after another, and his big physique was white!" ”

Chen Laosi said: "That's it, listen to how powerful the big dragon of the third middle school is, I didn't expect it to be so unbeaten!" ”

Erbao took over and said: "You two are not right, the big dragon is powerful, but it is nothing compared to our boss, the key is that our boss is powerful!" ”

When the big country heard this, he stepped forward and pushed Erbao and said: "Erbao, don't bluff with you, here you are a bear egg bag, and you didn't dare to fight back when you were beaten like that yesterday, and you still have the face to talk nonsense here!" ”

Erbao was anxious when he heard it: "You are the bear egg bun, do you have a kind?" You have a kind of going over and single-handedly going over to the three of them now, huh! You won't be able to catch up with me then! ”

The big country was stubborn when he heard it: "Go and go, you and I are afraid of them!" "As he spoke, he was going back to No. 3 Middle School.

As soon as Zuo Jiang heard that the two of them had been on top of the cow, he had to stop him: "Big country, you come back for me." I said that you are really, what kind of quarrel do your brothers have, they will go home and write my homework for a while, and then come out to play when we finish our homework during the summer vacation. ”

Everyone is silent when they dictate their homework, except for Xiaozhu's slightly better academic performance, the rest of their studies are not very good, and they have a headache when they hear about homework, not to mention writing, even if they copy other people's homework, they are also miserable. Of course, Zuo Jiang is clear about this situation, and he understands that if he does not study well, he will be a waste person in society, and since he has the opportunity to be reborn and come back, he has the responsibility to guide them.

When he walked to the front of Limin's store, Erbao's footsteps couldn't help but stop. The weather was already very hot, and everyone was sweating all over the body, everyone was here to help him today, so I had to invite everyone to eat a piece of ice cream to express my gratitude, but there were still 4 dimes and 5 cents in my pocket, and it was obviously not enough to invite everyone to eat ice cream, so I squeaked and said to Zuo Jiang: "Boss, it's too hot, let's cool down here, everyone helped me so much, why do you have to eat ice cream and go home!" After speaking, he looked at Zuo Jiang expectantly.

As soon as everyone heard that there was ice cream to eat, they all stopped, and their eyes looked at Zuo Jiang and Erbao together.

Zuo Jiang understood what he meant when he saw Erbao's eyes, but his 1 yuan had already been given to him, and he couldn't take out a penny anymore, so he thought about it and said, "Erbao, I brought 1 yuan when I came out and returned it to you just now, look at how much money you still have in your pocket?" ”

Seeing the 4 jiao and 5 cents that Erbao took out, Zuo Jiang's face turned to everyone and said, "Which of you still has money in your pocket?" Take it out and make it up, and everyone buys a piece of ice cream to eat. ”

Xiaohu and Wang Laoer's family conditions are not very good, usually parents can buy a popsicle for 5 points a day, and some can't eat a popsicle for a week. Everyone got together for a total of 7 jiao and 5 cents, and there was a difference of 5 cents to buy 8 pieces of ice cream. Zuo Jiang handed the money to Erbao and said, "Erbao, you go and buy 7 pieces of ice cream and 1 popsicle, you eat ice cream, I eat popsicles!" "Although popsicles are not delicious, you have to be the boss to be like the boss!

Erbao wanted to leave the ice cream in his hand for Zuo Jiang to eat by himself, but Zuo Jiang snatched the popsicle over: "It's too hot, eat popsicles to quench your thirst!" Everyone knew what was going on in their hearts, and seeing that Zuo Jiang was so touched, no one went to fight with Zuo Jiang for the popsicle, and took the ice cream in his hand and ate it.

Xiaohu, who was eating, leaned over and whispered to Zuo Jiang: "Boss, it's not a way for the brothers to be so tight now, why don't we go to the locomotive depot and the depot one day?" ”

Zuo Jiang's childhood memories are incomplete, and he couldn't understand what Xiaohu's code words mean for a while, what does it have to do with going to the locomotive depot and depot to wander around, and he looked at Xiaohu very suspiciously.

Xiaohu thought that Zuo Jiang hadn't done this for the past two years and had forgotten it, so he reminded: "Boss, just go get some scrap iron for some money to spend!" ”

This reminder immediately reminded Zuo Jiang of his childhood experience of stealing iron with his partner. I remember when I was in the third grade of primary school, one day the homeroom teacher announced that each student must pay a pound of scrap iron to support the construction of the school, but most people have no scrap iron at home, Zuo Jiang and his friends discussed and decided to go to the garbage heap in the maintenance depot to pick up scrap iron. At that time, the maintenance workshop of the machine maintenance cleaned the workshop every night before getting off work, and cleaned out the scraps and leftovers of the day's work, which were mixed with a lot of scrap iron. The first time, Zuo Jiang and his friends returned with a full load, and when they went to school the next day, everyone's schoolbags were bulging and heavy, and they only handed them in after the teacher came.

When class was about to start, Xiaohu pulled Zuo Jiang and the others out and told everyone that there was a scrap collection department outside the school, and scrap iron could be sold for 5 cents a catty. Everyone was pleasantly surprised when they heard this, and they cut off most of the scrap iron that they wanted to hand in, and went to the scrap collection department after school to exchange money.

After tasting the sweetness, they went to the locomotive depot and the depot to pick up scrap iron to sell, but the quantity of scrap iron is limited after all, the locomotive depot and the depot are dumped out of some small things such as scrap screw bolts and screw caps, the weight is limited, and they have a special place to recycle the waste products of large parts.

At that time, the management was very lax and the waste was also serious. The scrap metal of these two units is piled up in the open space and encircled a fence, and the gap in the fence is very large, and in some places adults can get into it. The general situation is to save enough for a wagon to deal with once, usually it is piled up there and no one cares, and there are many places under the walls of these two units for people to pass through the gaps, and some workers commute to and from work to take shortcuts from here, so it is convenient for Zuojiang them.

Zuo Jiang and they stole the iron out through the gap under the wall, and then transported it to the nearby waste collection department to sell, because they are small and have limited physical strength, each time they can only carry thirty or forty catties, even so each person can get about 2 yuan each time, for them this is a lot of income, you must know that at that time a table in the restaurant was only 5 yuan.

Zuo Jiang still remembers the price of scrap purchases, pig iron is 3 cents and 1 catty, wrought iron is 5 cents a catty, lead is 6 jiao 1 cent a catty, brass is 1 yuan and 5 dimes a catty, and copper is the most expensive, 2 yuan a catty. This purchase price lasted for a long time, probably about 10 years.

Their iron-stealing career didn't basically end until they were in middle school, and by the time they were in middle school, everyone basically began to be sensible, and their sense of shame increased, which was a dishonorable act of petty theft after all. After going to middle school, Zuo Jiang strictly forbade everyone to steal iron again, even if anyone couldn't help but steal it, it was behind his back, and Zuo Jiang never went since.

Later, when Wang Lao Er and Chen Lao Si went to steal iron, they were caught by the people in the locomotive depot, and when the people in the locomotive depot asked their fathers that they were both in the locomotive depot and knew each other, they let them go, and only informed their fathers of the matter. When their father heard this, he was furious, and his face was gloomy. When they returned home, they were beaten so hard that no one among their companions dared to steal iron.

Xiaohu's proposal made Zuo Jiang feel excited, he followed the rules all his life but ended up like this, since he has returned to this era, he is really sorry for himself if he doesn't do such an exciting thing, anyway, stealing some scrap iron is not a big deal, and he can also make his partners often have a little pocket money in their pockets, why not!

The more Zuo Jiang thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very exciting, and he raised his head and said to Xiaohu: "I think this thing will work, but we have to plan it well, otherwise we will lose the adults if we are caught!" ”

As soon as Xiaohu heard Zuo Jiang promise and shouted excitedly, he called everyone over, and told them about it, and everyone held back for a long time, and when they heard it, they were excited and gathered around.

Zuo Jiang thought for a while and said: "After a while, everyone will go back to their respective homes, those who should do their homework will do their homework, and those who should rest will rest, and tomorrow at 6 o'clock in the morning, we will gather by the small river outside the big wall of the locomotive depot, and then I will tell you how to act." ”
