They talked about picking up garbage again.

Uncle Pan told Jin Liuni: "There are several institutions and schools in the northwest of us picking up garbage, and there are not a few waste newspapers and waste paper shells in the garbage cans there. In the southwest, there are packaging material factories and printing factories, and you can also try them. I heard that the price was good a few years ago, and the waste pick-up was issued. If you can't get around here, just walk around the city......" Finally, Uncle Pan said: "The waste products you picked up, you can bag it and pack it up, and put it behind my grass building, that place belongs to me, others can't take care of it, just pay attention to hygiene." ”

Jin Liuni had just familiarized herself with the door, and went out that afternoon.

For a few days, she went out early and returned late, wearing the stars and the moon, and she was very motivated. One of Pan's pedal tricycles also came in handy. Riding a tricycle in a distant place saves labor and effort. Nearby, he put a woven bag on his back and kept walking around. For the first few days, the income was not bad.

The hardest thing about picking up garbage in summer is the smell. The trash can often emits a fishy, foul, and unpleasant smell.

One time at noon, it was hot. Jin Liuni lowered her head and kept picking up waste in the bucket. Pick it up, pick it up, and pick up a dead cat. Suddenly, a swarm of green-headed flies flew out with a "buzz" and pounced on Jin Liuni's face and head. Jin Liuni came to chase away the flies, but was choked by a foul of smell into the air lung tube and fell to the ground. She was dizzy, nauseous and vomiting, and couldn't throw up. I was panicked. I lay on the ground for a long time before I got up and insisted on walking home. I dropped the waste bag and went home and collapsed on the bed.

happened to be seen by Yang's mother. She brought a bottle of mineral water and a plate of watermelon, knocked on the door and came in, and asked, "Is Nier suffering from heat stroke, eat a piece of watermelon, drink a sip of mineral water, cool down." ”

Liuni insisted on getting up and said weakly: "Aunt Xie, I'll lie down for a while and rest, it'll be fine!" ”

"Look at this hot day, you can't go outside at noon, it's very dangerous to get heatstroke, that's terrible." Mother Yang said with concern while nagging. After a long time, Liuni opened her eyes and said weakly: "I was choked by the stench of death, and my heart was depressed and uncomfortable. ”

"Ouch, that's terrible! The elders say that corpse poison can smoke people to death. If you fall into the evil spirit, people will not die, and they will go crazy! "The more Mother Yang talks, the more dangerous it becomes." From now on, you will not be allowed to go out at noon on a hot day. If you get poison gas and get oblique disease, what can you do! Thinking, you must wear a mask when picking up garbage......" Yang's mother nagged and said a lot of caring words.

Liuni felt warm in her heart, but she still said in her mouth: "Wearing a mask will make others laugh." Say that your young lady's body, maid's life. Yang's mother said: "If you don't wear a mask, you should also take a small handkerchief and cover your nose and mouth to prevent poisoning." Liuni said, "I think this method is good, and I will pay attention to it in the future." ”

Mother Yang was still not at ease, so she quickly asked the old man Pan to bring a bottle of 20 ml of first aid ten drops of water, and made a cup of warm boiled water for Liuni to drink, to see if it was okay, and then settled down.

It has been more than ten days since Jin Liuni moved to her new home. She basically picks up what she eats and uses. The blue and silk dress she wore on a white background was eighty percent new, which was thrown into the garbage by others, and she picked it up and washed it, and it fit well on her body, and the style was not old-fashioned. A pair of flat-soled flat-heeled leather sandals on her feet are ninety percent new, who put them in the leather shoebox and don't want them, she picked them up and wore them on her feet, and added a pair of shoes to stack just right.

may have been influenced by the eldest sister. She eats steamed buns, hair cakes, biscuits, baked cakes, and bread. Sweets, vegetables, potatoes, turnips, cabbage, celery, eggplants, peppers, kohlrabi and fruits, peaches, watermelons, melons, apricots, grapes, etc. are all picked up from the garbage. Most of these things that others don't eat and throw away are not broken, some are brand new, some are only a little broken, and some are past the expiration date. Many well-wishers put these items that can be eaten and used on the lid of the garbage can, packed in cartons, paper bags, and plastic bags, and some are placed on the clean ground next to the garbage can.

Jin Liuni even picked up high-end tea leaves that she could drink, ginseng products, etc., not to mention. Sometimes, after Jin Liuni picked up these things and came back, she secretly thought at night: Now the people are too wasteful. Overnight meals, overnight dishes, if you can't finish eating, throw them away. If only I could raise a pig! I pick up this junk food and feed at least a few big pigs every year, but unfortunately pigs are not allowed in the city.

Jin Liuni doesn't spend a penny, she can't enjoy these things when she picks them up, she often has to throw them away, she is really reluctant to throw them away, and then she doesn't pick up so much, and picks up a little better to come back and eat. Jin Liuni picked up garbage to eat, and was soon discovered by the people around her. A lot of people find it incredible. Some people look at her with sympathy, saying that she must have had a hard time picking up "garbage" to eat. There are also people who scold her behind her back and beg for cheapness, which is no different from wild boars and beasts. The news soon reached Uncle Pan's ears.

Once, Jin Liuni was having breakfast at home. Uncle Pan knocked on the door and came in. I saw Jin Liuni heating a pot of all kinds of steamed buns, round, long, oval, whole, half, small half, or small pieces. When Uncle Pan saw this posture, it must have been picked up by Nier from outside. He looked at the various wilted vegetables on the vegetable table, and knew that he had picked them up from the garbage to save money. So, Uncle Pan persuaded: "Nier will stop picking up garbage and eating vegetables in the future." Learn to take care of your body. What should you do if you lose your appetite by eating like this? And count on you to earn money to support your family! If you break your body, it's too late to regret it! ”

Liuni had no choice but to explain: "Uncle who is out of the way." I'm used to eating these things, and my body has the strength to resist, so I won't get sick. ”

Uncle Pan still emphasized: "Listen to me, you can't pick up garbage to eat in the future." If you're short on money, tell me that the rent is free, don't want your money, save it to eat! The old man looked at Liuni, who bowed his head and was silent. I thought in my heart: why is she so thrifty, picking up garbage to eat every day, and reluctant to spend money, there must be a hidden secret. So he asked, "Tell Uncle quickly, what are your difficulties?" Don't hide it from your uncle! ”

Under Uncle Pan's repeated questioning, Jin Liuni told the truth. She told Uncle Pan that her husband had tragically died of a heart attack last fall...... The family also has four daughters studying in college...... In the spring of this year, there was another lawsuit...... I had no choice but to come out and pick up the rags to support my family......

The more Uncle Pan listened, the more depressed he became. The heart seemed to be pinched, and she felt sorry for Liuni. It was decided on the spot that the house would be lived in by Liuni for nothing, and no penny would be charged. He told Jin Liuni: "From next month, you will not be charged rent. I supported my child's schooling. Jin Liuni was so moved that she burst into tears, and said embarrassedly: "How can it be, Uncle Pan." The rent is already very cheap, and now it's going to be free, so I can't help it, how can I thank you, Uncle Pan! ”

"Thank you, thank you! Who doesn't have a difficult time to live at home, who doesn't have a stage and a downside! If you come to my house, can I see that you are in trouble? People help others, pull a hand, and the difficulties will pass. Uncle Pan saw Jin Liuni bow her head and wipe her tears silently, and said, "I didn't know that you were in such a difficult situation. Is it easy to support this family by yourself and pull four children to college? Cough! It's too hard, it's too hard! She looked at Jin Liuni again, who was still in tears, and comforted, "If Ding Mao had told me earlier, I wouldn't have charged you rent at the beginning." You don't have to wait until now. Ahem, you! Call me what to say......"

The more Jin Liuni listened, the more excited she became, and the Uncle Pan in front of her was her dearest and dearest person. She couldn't bear it for a while, and she actually started crying, crying out loud, and a lot of tears rolled down......

Jin Liuni's cry alarmed Yang's mother upstairs. She came down crying. One foot in the door, one foot outside the door, shouted at the top of his voice: "Nier, tell me quickly, who provoked you, so troublesome!" Liuni wiped her tears and said, "No, no, Mother Yang." You are mistaken! ”

At this time, Uncle Pan told his wife what had just happened. Mother Yang stabilized and said: "Old Pantou, you are doing well, I support you!" ”

A few more days.

In the evening, Jin Liuni came back with a large bag of waste. Uncle Pan asked, "How are you picking it up these days?" ”

"Not bad."

"Did you go to the garbage of a few businesses over there (referring to the southwest side)? It's said that there's a lot of 'oil and water' over there. Looking at Liuni's very concerned eyes, she asked again: "You can try it tomorrow." The road is a little farther, and it is convenient to ride a tricycle. ”

"Uncle, I will definitely go."
