Zhang Tiande was humming a tune leisurely, but when he heard Sun Lanhua's words, his heart skipped a beat for some unknown reason.
He stood up holding on to the elbow of the chair, walked slowly to Sun Lanhua, and carefully looked at the girl who came to sell scraps.
His soap blue coarse cloth coat was covered with dust, his hair was messy, and there was a vague smell, which was the same as that of many residents who came to sell garbage.
Zhang Tiande looked at Sun Lanhua for a long time and found nothing strange, but he still felt a little uneasy.
For some reason, he always felt that there was something ominous about this girl.
Zhang Tiande coughed twice, and Ergou, who was about to help Sun Lanhua weigh the scraps, stopped and stood aside quickly.
Zhang Tiande sometimes has some strange habits and will do some inexplicable things. If you dare to disobey his orders, you might be beaten up.
There was no one in the junk shop who had not been beaten by him.
Zhang Tiande stared at Sun Lanhua and asked in a cold voice: "Girl, where do you live?"
"What the hell, do you still need to ask about your family background when you sell a piece of junk?" Sun Lanhua not only did not answer, but also criticized Zhang Tiande.
Zhang Tiande was not angry, and explained with a smile: "Girl, it's not that I'm careless, but there were a few scrap sellers a while ago who treated the workpieces from the lumber factory as scrap and sold them to us.
shop.
Later, comrades from the security department of the lumber factory came to find us. Not only did we not earn a penny, but we were reprimanded by the superiors.
From now on, when we encounter suspicious people, we have to interrogate them to find out the details before accepting the scraps."
As he spoke, Zhang Tiande increased his voice.
"And you are the suspicious one!"
While he was talking, he carefully observed Sun Lanhua's expression.
However, Sun Lanhua did not panic at all. She nodded with some understanding and said, "So, I have misunderstood you. But you are indeed overly concerned. I am temporarily staying at my aunt's house."
"What is your aunt's name, what does she do, and where does she live?" Zhang Tiande asked.
Sun Lanhua explained calmly: "Her name is Liu Xiu'e. She married Zhang Zhiheng at the breakfast shop at No. 20 West Street, Huangyuan County more than ten years ago. Zhang Zhiheng is a worker who steams steamed buns. Now their family lives to the west of the coal plant.
In the family courtyard.”
"Zhang Zhiheng... This person seems to have some impression." Zhang Tiande nodded slightly.
He used to hang out on the streets of Huangyuan all day long and knew the situation in Huangyuan County very well. It could be said that even if he walked around Huangyuan County with his eyes closed at night, he would not get lost.
He also knew the shops in the county very well, so he naturally knew that there was a man named Zhang Zhiheng in the breakfast shop.
Everything went right. Although Zhang Tiande still felt something was wrong, he didn't think much about it and just thought he was too sensitive.
He looked at Sun Lanhua and said politely: "Girl, I wasted your time."
I have to say that Zhang Tiande can be regarded as an educated person among young people, a green person among educated people.
He usually speaks very politely. If someone who doesn't know him meets him, they will definitely think that he is a teacher in the school.
Seeing Zhang Tiande nodding, Ergou picked up the bundle of scraps and hung it on the scale hook. Before the scale beam was completely balanced, he pulled the weight and said in a loud voice: "There are thirty kilograms of scraps in total. One pound of scraps."
Five cents."
Thirty kilograms? Sun Lanhua carried these scraps all the way and knew the weight of the scraps very well.
This bag of scraps weighed at least fifty kilograms. Twenty kilograms were lost in the blink of an eye. These people are really ruthless.
Sun Lanhua did not collect the money and leave silently like most people would. Instead, she grabbed the scraps, glared at Ergou and said, "It's almost half missing. If I take this money and go home, I will definitely be raped by my aunt."
Damn it, I won’t sell these scraps.”
At this time, Zhang Tiande, who had been watching Sun Lanhua, was relieved. If this girl was a spy, she would definitely not know the weight of the scrap. Even if she knew the weight, she would not cause trouble at this time. After all, her biggest task
Just see clearly what's going on inside and leave quickly.
Zhang Tiande saw that Sun Lanhua was really carrying the waste and was about to leave, so he secretly winked at Ergou.
Ergou strode forward and stopped Sun Lanhua: "Okay, girl, I'll give you another five cents."
"It's only five cents. My aunt said that these scraps can be sold for twenty-five cents! She will give me five cents and let me buy a flower headband." When Sun Lanhua said about the flower headband,
The eyes shine, expressing the little girl's posture vividly.
Ergou said with a serious face: "Little girl, the price of scraps has been adjusted recently. It's only two cents. If you don't want to, you can take the scraps away again. But I want to remind you that we are the only ones in Huangyuan County.
A junk shop, if you leave this place, you won’t be able to sell it at all.”
Hearing this, Sun Lanhua pretended to be embarrassed, hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded and agreed: "Okay..."
After trading the scraps, Sun Lanhua took the money and was supposed to leave the black scrap shop. She saw that the old man who had just sold the scraps did not leave. Instead, he gathered around the gang of green men and watched them playing cards there.
It is conceivable that when Li Weidong and others rush in, the old man may be hurt.
But now Sun Lanhua has no way to remind the old man. She rolled her eyes and pretended to be unintentional and said: "Oh, it's all your fault for wasting time. Today is a holiday in elementary school, and those students will definitely use up their homework.
I threw them randomly, so I have to go to school to pick up the waste."
Sure enough, when the old man heard this, he stopped looking at the cards and turned to look at Sun Lanhua: "Girl, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course, you don't know how naughty those children are. They will fold the waste homework books into paper airplanes and fold them into squares... In short, there must be waste paper everywhere.
I have to go quickly, if I go late, I might be overtaken by others." After Sun Lanhua finished speaking, she turned around and hurried out.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Oh, girl, I don't know where the school is, just wait for me." The old man followed quickly.
These days, waste products are also divided into grades. Although the price of waste paper is not as high as that of metal, it is more expensive than wine bottles, and waste notebooks are a relatively expensive type of waste paper.
It's just that the quantity of that thing is relatively rare. Most people will keep scrap homework books to use them to start fires, and they won't be willing to sell them at all.
Now I heard that there was a lot of waste paper there. As a regular waste collector, I naturally couldn’t miss it.
He followed Sun Lanhua out of the courtyard and walked along. When he turned the intersection, a pair of big hands suddenly stretched out from the woods next to him and pulled him in.
Was he being robbed? The old man was so frightened that he was about to open his mouth and shout loudly when a big hand stretched out from the side and covered his mouth.
A young man walked up to him: "Old comrade, don't worry, we are not bad people. Now I let go of my hand, and you must not shout."
Strange to say, the old man himself was in a panic, worried that these people were robbing him, but after hearing this, he calmed down inexplicably.
It's like the words of young people have some kind of magic power.
"Uh huh huh..." The old man's mouth was covered and he could only nod his head.
At this time, Li Weidong gently let go of the old man's hand. After he could breathe freely, he slowly explained: "There are a bunch of bad guys hiding in this black junk shop. We will rush in to deal with them later. We are worried that you will be injured inside."
, so I sent this girl to bring you out."
After hearing these words, the old man finally understood and turned his head to look at Sun Lanhua in disbelief.
"Girl, are you really not a scrap seller?"
"Of course, I am a female warrior on a mission!" Sun Lanhua puffed up her chest and said proudly.
The old man couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Girl, you are really awesome."
He has lived for more than half his life, and he has experienced many hardships. His eyes are very accurate in seeing people, and he didn't notice anything wrong just now.
When Li Weidong was sure that there were no outsiders in the black scrap shop, he ordered Wang Erdan and the others to start preparations, and the guys took out various weapons.
I was about to rush into the yard when I was suddenly stopped by the old man.
"Comrade, wait a minute, I want to provide you with a situation." The old man seemed to have remembered something and rushed forward in a hurry to stop Li Weidong.
Li Weidong clenched his fists tightly and waved his hand. The whole team stopped like well-trained soldiers.
Li Weidong looked at the old man and said, "Master, what's the matter?"
"I see that you are foreigners and have not been to this scrap shop a few times. You may not understand the specific conditions." The old man said worriedly: "Did you know that this scrap shop has another exit?"
Another exit? Li Weidong was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Sun Lanhua.
Sun Lanhua spread her hands and shook her head repeatedly. When she entered the junk shop just now, she had carefully investigated the situation inside and did not notice any other exits.
Seeing Li Weidong's actions, the old man chuckled: "Comrade, don't blame that girl. Don't say that she only went in twice. Even Zhang Tiande's gang doesn't know about the other exit."
"Then how did you know?" A trace of doubt flashed in Li Weidong's eyes.
What a shrewd man the old man was. He instantly saw Li Weidong's doubts and quickly explained: "Comrade, you don't have to doubt me. You may not know my identity. My original name is Liu Baofeng."
"Liu Baofeng?" Even Zhang Erdan and Sun Lanhua had never heard of this name, let alone Li Weidong.
Seeing the blank expressions on several people's faces, the old man sighed and said, "That's right. That guy Liu Xuan has been missing for so many years. You guys have long forgotten my name."
"Liu Xuan...is he the original black scrap shop owner?" Sun Lanhua said in surprise.
The old man looked at Sun Lanhua in surprise: "I didn't expect you to still remember Liu Xuan..."
"My aunt told me about Huangyuan before. This illegal scrap shop originally belonged to Liu Xuan. Later, Zhang Tiande came and drove Liu Xuan out of Huangyuan, and then he took over the place." Sun Lanhua said.
"Kicked out?" Liu Baofeng snorted coldly: "If Liu Xuan was just driven away, I, as a father, would not come to the county to collect waste."
As soon as these words came out, not only Sun Lanhua's expression changed drastically, but even Li Weidong's expression became solemn.
"Are you Liu Xuan's father?"
"That's right!" Liu Baofeng also started talking at this moment, squinting his eyes and looking into the distance, and said: "I was originally a commune member in Zhangjiazhuang, a suburb of the city. I had a son in middle age, so it was inevitable that I would be overly pampered. That boy Liu Xuan has been dishonest since he was a child, and I don't want to
I work in the commune, but I like to travel to the county town.
It's just that I know this guy's temperament well. Although he likes to fool around, he won't do anything too extreme.
Later, when Liu Xuan got older and knew how to do things, I came up with the idea to help him build this junk shop.
Originally, relying on my connections in the commune and the fact that collecting scraps was a labor-intensive job, the leaders in the county turned a blind eye to scrap shops.
Since opening the scrap shop, Liu Xuan has found a goal and stays in the scrap shop all day long. Because the prices are higher than collective scrap shops and the service attitude is good, the scrap shop's business quickly became prosperous.
Although the profit from collecting and selling scraps is very low, Liu Xuan has saved a lot of money over the past few years.
He was not young at that time, so I wanted to help him start a family.
We invited the most famous matchmaker from all over the country to help find a girl from Huangjiazhuang's handlebar family.
The girl is physically strong, and although she is a lesbian, she works like a man, and she seems to be a good childbearer. As long as she gets married, Liu Xuan will be able to live a good life, and I will be waiting to have a grandson.
But he never expected that the scrap shop would be targeted by Zhang Tiande.
Zhang Tiande was very vicious. He first tried every possible means to make friends with my family, Liu Xuan, and after finding out all the details of the junk shop, suddenly one night he led his men to launch an attack.
Liu Xuan was always a conscientious person, but his opponent disappeared that night.
Zhang Tiande leaked the news to the outside world, saying that Liu Xuan deliberately hid out of town because he was afraid of being punished by him.
But I know very well that Liu Xuan must have died long ago."
Hearing this, Wang Erdan frowned: "How did you know?"
"Oh, the reason is very simple. My old lady got seriously ill five years ago. She stayed in the hospital for half a month and eventually died due to her serious illness. Liu Xuan, this kid, is a filial child even though he usually likes to play around.
.From the time when the old woman became ill to the time she was enshrined, he never showed up. This can only mean that he is no longer in this world."
Liu Baofeng sighed, and before Li Weidong asked, he continued: "After realizing this, I vowed to avenge Liu Xuan. At that time, I was already old and couldn't do it anymore, so I left.
Commune, came to the county town, and while collecting scraps to make a living, he also thought of ways to eradicate Zhang Tiande and his gang.
It's just that Zhang Tiande is treacherous and has good relations with all aspects of the county. What can I, a lonely old man, do with him?
Just when I had lost confidence, you came.
God indeed has eyes, and finally let me wait for this day."
Sun Lanhua nodded thoughtfully: "No wonder those who sell scraps will leave the scrap shop quickly after selling the scraps, but you have to stay there for a while."
