Hard times have room

Chapter 55

Paulin took a look at it. The large iron pot is not bad. Although it has been patched a few times, it is not in the way. There is no problem in using it. Paulin doesn't have any eyes to look at in the sun, the bowls are also good, pottery bowls, porcelain bowls, large bowls and small bowls, and even small spoons, very complete, the table, chairs, benches, cabinets, etc. above can be used, and the materials are not bad. If it is solid, it will not be a problem to use it for decades in the future. If you get these things back, you basically don't need to buy anything for household items after you pack up and move out.

It’s definitely better than making a new one. Another one, the second house doesn’t have much money now. Even if you have one, you have to be diligent and thrifty. Otherwise, everything will be made new, and everything will be bought new. The work is high-profile, and the villagers are sour The words had to drown their family of three, after all, everyone has jealousy.

At that time, all kinds of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods will come to the door, and people who borrow money or things will come to you and say what should be filial to the old man. Don’t think about leaving the old man alone when you have some money. .

If Pauline and the others are living hard and tired, they will feel that they deserve it. That's how it should be. When their family is sad, they think about the life of Pauline and the three of them, and they seem to be comforted. too much.

On the night of the separation, Paulin and his family of three decided to live a hard life for one or two years, at least in the eyes of others, the three of them were living a hard life for one or two years, so that they could live in peace. .

"Master, how much can you sell in this car? If I buy all of them, can I buy less?" Pauline took a fancy to these things.

"If you want this thing from me sincerely, I'll give you all eight dollars." The uncle thought about it and gave a solid price.

Although he received it from his neighbor for five yuan, it was really worth eight yuan, and he sold it for three yuan, so it wasn't a loss.

Paulin looked at it, and she did not make any random quotations. Now all the things that require tickets are expensive, and she really needs them.

Eight pieces are mainly due to the high price of the big iron pot and two enamel pots. Although they are all second-hand and dilapidated things, these things are really not something that Paulin's family of three can get. Iron pots and enamel pots now have to be bought. Tickets, industrial tickets, these things are not issued at all for rural farming, and now they are sent to me by coincidence, can you not!

For three people to eat, Paulin's small milk pot for one person is definitely not enough. You still have to have a big iron pot. Now the things in the grand car are indeed what Paulin needs.

Pauline didn't bargain any more, the price was already very fair: "Okay, sir, can you use your small tricycle to take things to my house in Hecun, take the main road, this car can get there, the road is not It's far away, and it will take about 40 minutes to ride there. Please take this trip, and then I will pack a piece of dried fish weighing more than a catty for you to go back to drink with."

Paulin originally wanted to give her a dime, but now it's the price, but after thinking about it, it's better to change it to fish. She still has more than ten fish in her space, and one that weighs more than a pound is only seven or eight cents. Money is more cost-effective than giving money directly. For the uncle, if he buys this fish directly, it must be more than a dime, and he has to ask for a ticket.

There is a mud road to go to Shanghe Village from Hongxing Commune. During the period, it will pass through many villages, and it can be specially built to connect the villages. This is the predecessor of the rural cement road in the future.

It's just that this road is farther than the trail, and the road is muddy when it rains, so it's impossible to walk. Paulin doesn't like to walk that way.

"Okay, the uncle is really lucky today. I will open an opening as soon as I come out, and I will be able to get a fish when I come back." The fish is back.

"My surname is Ge, you can just call me Uncle Ge, my family lives in the town, you can find me by inquiring about Uncle Ge who collects scraps in the town. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me. Look for it, the uncle will give you a preferential price."

Uncle Ge said with a smile, selling the recovered items to nearby people is much better than selling junkyards, and this is not against the rules. That money is his extra money!
He usually tells others like this, anyway, no matter whether they take care of his business or not, he will not lose, just a few words.

"Okay, Uncle Ge, I remember, I'll show you the way." Paulin said.

"No, I don't need you to show the way, old man, I have been collecting scraps for so many years, but I haven't run anywhere."

"It's just these years, I'm getting older, and I can't run very much. In addition, the above policy has changed, saying that it is not allowed to run around, and it is unified management. I just rested, and occasionally in this town and nearby. After visiting several villages, I usually sit at home and wait for others to bring things up to sell, which is much more leisurely."

"But we have people from the establishment unit, we have a grain book, and we pay wages and grain every month, and our life is not bad."

Uncle Ge said with a smile, with a comfortable smile on his face. After all, he is now a person who eats national food. Every time he tells others about this, he is very proud and happy.

Along the way, Paulin sat in the back car, Uncle Ge sat in the front, the old man and the young man chatted happily.

Baolin knew that Uncle Ge's family was left with him and his grandson. More than ten years ago, when the army was in chaos, Uncle Ge's daughter-in-law, son and daughter-in-law had all gone, and now there is only one grandson left to depend on him.

Uncle Ge also knew that Paulin's family of three had just separated from the old man, and they were about to build a house. There was nothing at home, so he was moved when he saw the things on his three wheels.

Along the way, the two were chatting and chatting, and they unexpectedly hit it off. The relationship has improved a lot. When encountering a steep slope, Pauline will get off the car and actively help push the three-wheeled. With the joint efforts of the two, Five and ten minutes later, Sanlun entered the gate of Shanghe Village.

The people in the village just got off work at noon, and they are all at home. When they see a small tricycle coming from the village, they all come out to see the rare goods.

At present, the only means of transportation in the village is an ox cart, which is only dispatched when there is a large gathering. It costs a penny for a ride. Usually, if you use an ox cart, you have to find a cattle breeder to set the cart for you, and ask someone to give it to you. If you drive a car or drive by yourself, it will cost you five cents to use it once, and if you use it for a day, it will cost you [-] cents. The specific price depends on the situation.

Now there is a tricycle in the village, can't you come to see it?

"Yeah, isn't this Uncle Ge? I haven't seen you here for many years. Are you planning to come here to collect junk? There are still some junk in my house waiting for you!" A villager laughed and laughed.
