Day 4.

When I got up in the morning, I looked at the sky, and the clouds were rolling, not like a good day. Liu Youyou said: You can't go far, just wander around the nearby community. Pick up as you walk along the streets with dumpsters.

It's a large community of more than 1,500 households. A few years ago, it was a large village team, but with the continuous deepening of urban reform, it soon developed into a community neighborhood committee. Recently, the village dwellings have been renovated, and the bungalows have been pushed down and built into buildings. Become a new neighborhood in the city. Basically, it is a closed management, small traders and hawkers, collecting rags, and picking up garbage, are not allowed to enter and exit casually. And Liu Youyou is very familiar with the people they watch the gate and trusts her very much. So when Liu Youyou entered the gate, the door guard only asked who Jin Liuni who came with her, and she didn't need to show her documents. Although there is not much garbage to pick up in the community, there are few people who can pick it up, so the "oil and water" naturally belong to her.

When I go to work in the morning, the trash cans are full. Liu You has a habit of first seeing if there are any large items. A cardboard box was found next to the trash can, which was full of books. There are modern junior high school and high school textbooks, textbooks from the Cultural Revolution period, and a few reading materials from the thirties and forties and fifties of the last century, and an old alarm clock engraved with English letters. She asked Jin Liuni to clean up immediately. Jin Liuni almost screamed happily, and said after a while: "You see that there is a sister The books in the box weigh more than 20 pounds, and they can be worth more than 10 yuan." ”

Liu Youyou glanced at her and said, "You can underestimate these old books, according to my estimate, they are worth one or two hundred yuan." ”

Liuni was a little unconvinced, and thought: A few old books are so valuable! looked at Liu Youyou in a daze. Liu Youyou saw that she was stunned, so he said, "Have you seen it, what books are in the cardboard box?" ”

She rummaged through the box a few times, pulled out one and said, "An old book like this from the thirties can sell for twenty or thirty yuan in the antique market, which is still a conservative estimate." He also told Liuni, "Let's talk about the textbooks for primary school students during the Wen ** Revolution, and a well-preserved one like this is worth more than 10 yuan." She explained, "The textbooks of the Cultural Revolution period, don't look at the short period of time, only fifty or sixty years, and the textbooks have the highest instructions, which represent the political and cultural characteristics of a fiery era, and are very collectible." Liuni asked in surprise: "How do you know that you have a sister, do you still know how to collect?" Liu Youyou smiled and said, "I don't understand, isn't there a teacher?" ”

"My landlord upstairs is a well-known collector," she explains. He often asks me to pay more attention to picking up old things that are not taken seriously, such as old books and clocks. Look at the little alarm clock with English letters in the box today, maybe it was made in England in the early part of the last century, and if it was, it would be worth the old money. She said, "Wait until you go back and ask the landlord to have an appraisal." ”

Under the influence of Liu Youyou, Jin Liuni also picked up a somewhat damaged old dustpan used in the early part of the last century, and a wind box (box) used by rural families in the last century. Liu Youyou said, "These things are hard to see now. It may be that the farmers who moved upstairs felt inconvenient and threw it away. ”

While disassembling and sorting out the waste paper box, Jin Liuni found a string of more than 10 keys and a brown leather wallet. When I opened it, there were 20 yuan in cash, 3 bank cards, and a bus card. In order to find the owner, she waited here for a long time, but out of nowhere came a pet puppy, the puppy sniffed the cardboard box, and sniffed a bunch of keys in Jin Liuni's hand, and surrounded Jin Liuni and never left. Liu Youyou tried to drive it away. But as soon as he ran out of the house, he walked around, and the puppy ran back and squatted beside Jin Liuni and never walked again, no matter how you chased it, he was indifferent. Someone said, "Look at this little white dog, it seems that you are its owner, so close." ”

Liuni said: "This puppy must have been lost by its owner, and it recognized me, so I took it." The two waited for a while, but no one was looking for them. Someone said, "I'm leaving." You wait here, you can't be two people here. Liu Youyou left, and the puppy also demonstrated to her a few times. Liuni smiled and said: "You see that there is a sister, people are not easy to offend, and dogs can't afford to provoke them!" ”

More than an hour after Liu Youyou left, it was almost 12 o'clock, and no one was looking for it. Jin Liuni was so anxious that she spun around. I was about to lead the puppy out of here. I saw a young man hurrying from the street on the left. The puppy swooped out from Liuni's side and ran towards the man. Jin Liuni finally understood that this person must be the owner of the puppy.

"Auntie, did you pick up a bunch of keys in the garbage heap?" The young man asked anxiously.

"Oh, you found a bunch of keys, did you lose them?" Liuni asked.

"I lost a bunch of keys." The young man told Jin Liuni. "I dump a bag of waste in the trash can when I go to work in the morning. When I got home at noon and couldn't find the key, I remembered that it might have been mixed in a garbage bag and thrown out, with 11 keys on it and an ear to dig it out. ”

"Did you lose anything else?" Jin Liuni asked.

The young man rubbed a few strands of hair on his head, and said embarrassedly, "Actually, there is a black wallet with the key, and there is a card in the bag or something." ”

"You should be specific." Jin Liuni further asked, "In addition to the card, what else is in the bag?" ”

The young man smiled slightly and said embarrassedly, "There is still money in the bag." If you find it, give me the card and key, it's not a lot of money, forget it. ”

"How much money is in the bag?"

"20 5 yuan."

"Then why don't you make it clear? If you don't make it clear, how to prove that you lost your bag, how to ask me to return your belongings. ”

The young man smiled again and said, "Actually, I don't mean anything else, just give me the key and card." ”

"So that's ...... Jin Liuni knows, "this man has a lot of heart...... I'm afraid of mentioning money. He wasn't even given the keys and the bag...... In today's society, there are indeed such people who pick up the bag, leave the money, and throw away the card or something......" Thinking of this, Jin Liuni said, "It seems that you lost this bag." Now, I'll return the bag to you, and you can look at the money and the card, right? ”

The man looked at Jin Liuni with admiration. I opened my wallet, counted it, and there was no less. Immediately drew out a 100-yuan ticket and stuffed it to Jin Liuni to express her gratitude.

Jin Liuni didn't accept the money, and said without hesitation: "It is only natural to pick up something and return it to the owner." You're welcome, big brother. ”

The young man was embarrassed to take back the money, and kept saying "Thank you, Auntie, thank you, Auntie." ”

After a moment, he took out a blue notebook from his bag, "May I ask my aunt's honorable name?" He introduced himself, "I am a newspaper reporter, and I would like to take this opportunity to interview my aunt." ”

"Big brother, don't interview. It's a trivial matter, and there's nothing to say. ”

"You have found money and waited so long...... Although the matter is small, the spirit is touching! As soon as the newspaper reporter finished speaking, Jin Liuni turned around to leave.

When the young man saw that he couldn't do it, he changed his tone and said, "Auntie, don't go." Please tell me your surname, can you write a report without mentioning your name? ”

"Don't write big brother! I have only been in this city for a few days. I don't even have a place to live. Rent me a room, I beg you. That's the most important thing! Jin Liuni pleaded.

"I promise you. Please let me know the contact details and I will make a note of them. Just wait for my call. The newspaper reporter readily agreed.
