"Uncle Ye, let go, I'll do it, darling, this cart of books doesn't cost several hundred kilograms..."
Ye Tian and Feng Kuang hurriedly helped Ye Dongping take off the belt, passing water to others and unloading the truck. The purchasing station regained a bit of the bustle of the previous few days.
"It's really hot this autumn. Xiaotian, go and get a bottle of beer..."
After drinking the cold drink from Ye Tian in one gulp, Ye Dongping was still too hot, so he took off his shirt and used it as a towel to wipe his face and body everywhere.
"Dad, you...what's happening to you..."
After Ye Tian returned to his father with a beer, he was stunned. Looking at his father's thick blood stain from his shoulder to his chest, Ye Tian felt as if something had stabbed him in his heart, which made him feel heart-wrenching and uncomfortable.
Ye Dongping didn't care about the injuries on his body. He took the beer with a smile, patted his son's head, and said: "You brat, what are you talking about? Look at this cart of books I have collected, Fengzi, you can
Don’t you have the ability?”
"Uncle Ye, I can't receive so many books in a week. Where did you get them?"
Feng Kuang was a little worried before that Ye Dongping couldn't stand other people's looks, and he was afraid that he would have wasted the whole day. Now that he saw Ye Dongping's gains, he couldn't believe it. Could it be that this educated man was better than others in everything he did?
"Hey, you have to use some brains to collect scraps..." Ye Dongping was in a very good mood, and he actually started selling it off.
"Dad, let me wipe it for you..." Ye Tianke didn't care where he collected these old books. He took a clean towel and wiped the sweat off his father's body.
"Hey, it really hurts..."
Ye Dongping snatched the towel from his son's hand and said, "I'll do it myself. I haven't pulled a cart for two years and I'm really not used to it.
By the way, Xiaotian, these books are from the first to the third grade of junior high school. They are quite new. I will wrap the covers for you with a calendar later, and you will save the cost of books in the past few years..."
In the 1980s, a set of textbooks was used for many years, and the school did not require every student to buy it. For example, if there were many brothers or sisters in the family, the eldest brother would use it when the second child used it, and basically hand over one
The person’s book fee is enough.
"Uncle Ye, have you gone to school?"
While Ye Dongping and his son were talking, Feng Kuang flipped through the books on the cart and found that in addition to some textbooks, there were also many students' homework books. The names on them were all different. It could not be from anyone except the school.
There are so many books.
Ye Dongping nodded and said: "Yes, it's the junior high school where Xiaotian goes to school. I only pulled a small part of it today, Fengzi, let's go together tomorrow, and we can probably pull as many as four or five carts...
…”
"Uncle Ye, you are awesome, really awesome. I went to that school several times, but they were not willing to give me scraps. You just took it down as soon as you showed up, awesome!"
After hearing Ye Dongping's words, Feng Kuang raised his thumb. He was not complimenting Ye Dongping, but he was really convinced.
Everyone knows that there are a lot of old books in the school that are scrapped. Feng Kuang had already paid attention to it and asked Ye Tianwei's class teacher for help.
The vice-principal in charge of logistics was an old-school person. With the persuasion of the school teacher, he had originally agreed to sell it to Feng Kuang. Who knew that this kid was overly clever and stuffed two packs of Liangyou cigarettes into it. The old man immediately flipped over.
He waved his hand and told Feng Kuang to get lost.
Later, Feng Kuang went there two more times, but was kicked out by the old man each time. Unexpectedly, Ye Dongping solved this big problem on his first day out collecting scraps. Feng Kuang was really impressed by him from the bottom of his heart.
"Awesome? I'm just lucky..."
Feng Kuang's words brought a wry smile to Ye Dongping's face. What he saw today made him understand that being useless is a scholar's principle.
When Ye Dongping first went out in the morning, he was planning to go from house to house to collect scraps, but after holding it in for two hours, he failed to shout the slogan "Collect junk".
Later, Ye Dongping made a breakthrough, but the sound was like the chirping of mosquitoes, and no one could hear it, so he didn't receive anything all morning.
However, Ye Dongping's luck is really good. When he was resting in front of a school at noon, he had a chat with an old man who was instructing several people to change the school badges. The conversation was quite speculative. The old man directly asked Ye Dongping to
Pulled the cart into the school.
Although he received such a cart of old books, Ye Dongping still felt that life was not easy. The glare he received on this day made his mentality change subtly, but Ye Dongping didn't feel it yet.
Ye Tian brought the food to the table and said, "Dad, crazy brother, let's eat. I cooked the food today..."
"My son has grown up..."
Although the dish was very simple, just fried green peppers and pickled radish brought from the countryside, Ye Dongping still felt very pleased.
Sometimes hardships in life are not necessarily a bad thing. Ye Dongping believes that when his son grows up, he will be more adaptable to society than those hothouse flowers.
Ye Dongping suddenly remembered something, looked at Ye Tian and said, "By the way, when I was outside today, I saw a man who looked very much like your master? When I chased him, the man was gone.
I don’t know if I’m dazzled..."
Although he only saw one profile, Ye Dongping and Lao Dao had known each other for some years, and he felt that the person was most likely Li Shanyuan, but he didn't understand why the old Tao didn't come in.
"My master?" Ye Tian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, "Is it impossible? Master is still on the mountain, how could he come to the county town?"
"Maybe I saw it wrong? But the Taoist priest really looks like..." Ye Dongping shook his head. Too many things happened in the past few days. Could it be that he was hallucinating?
Ye Dongping just said it casually, but Ye Tian took it to heart. This deduction of a person's position and some simple fortunes would not suffer the backlash of vitality. Ye Tian silently recited the master's name in his heart, and used the method of divination to
The technique started to be deduced.
"It's really Master..."
After a while, the current location of the old man appeared in Ye Tian's mind. It was in this county. This made Ye Tian feel warm in his heart. It seems that the master is still thinking about him?
However, Ye Tian didn't tell anyone about this. Since the master didn't want to go down the mountain with him, he naturally had his own considerations. Ye Tian only had to follow his own ideas. Anyway, there would be someone big enough to hold him up if the sky fell.
After dinner, when he saw Ye Tian winking at him, Feng Kuang stood up and said: "Uncle Ye, you are tired today too. Go to bed early. I will take Ye Tian out for a walk. He has been bored at home all day.
…”
"Okay, don't be too late, come back early..." Ye Dongping nodded in agreement. His son performed well today and should be rewarded.
After taking the bag with the mirror from the cart in the yard, Feng Kuang and Ye Tian left the purchasing station and headed straight to the south of the city.
When they arrived outside the compound, Feng Kuang was still waiting outside. Ye Tian kicked pebbles and sneaked into the compound alone. Of course, he politely shouted "Hello, uncle" to the gate guard when he entered.
