Chapter 63 The old man is so lonely

Chen Xuelin took a closer look, and it was probably [-]% to [-]% new.There is no stain on the book, and it is in excellent condition.

"Master, this book is so well preserved!" Chen Xuelin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Old man Wan winked at her: "It must be! Anyway, I am also the person in charge here. Although I can't do things that embezzle financial resources, shouldn't I be responsible for sorting out books and newspapers?"

It's just that those who come to look for books and newspapers usually don't catch his eye, so he just uses some broken and dirty ones to fool them.

Chen Xuelin gave old man Wan a thumbs up in admiration, and old man Wan laughed.

Asked: "Girl, have you brought a bag? What about these books, how do you plan to carry them back?"

Chen Xuelin was a little embarrassed. When she came out, she didn't think too much about it, so she only carried a messenger bag.It was only when I was eating at a state-run restaurant that I remembered this place.

"Master, do you have a bag here? It doesn't matter if it's a little broken, as long as it can hold these books."

Although a pack of newspapers would do, she didn't want people to know that she bought these books.

I am afraid that the influence of special times will be bad, and I am also afraid that someone will say harsh words.I'm even more afraid that after the policy comes down, those who don't deal with it will lick their faces and borrow books.

Old Man Wan nodded with a smile: "Go, I'll find you a bag!"

After speaking, I went to the yard and rummaged in the place full of garbage.

Seeing this, Chen Xuelin hurriedly followed.You can't do nothing yourself, let others do it for you.

She is not afraid of being dirty or messy, but there are too many things here and it is not easy to find them.

"You go over there, I remember that there seems to be a woven bag under the pile of wood." Old Man Wan said, pointing to a corner.

Chen Xuelin nodded and passed.

While turning over the rotten wood, he asked: "Master, what kind of wood are these? It feels pretty good. Look, some of them are still carved with flowers."

Old Man Wan shook his head: "I don't know either!"

Chen Xuelin thought to himself, as a person who knows so much about literary works, how can you not understand wood?I'm afraid you don't want to tell me!

But what she didn't know was that old man Wan really didn't understand these things.

If he hadn't been obsessed with classical literature and was not good at communicating with people, he wouldn't have been cleaned up and ended up in such a small place.

That is to say, there was some relationship at home, so he was not sent down.otherwise.
Chen Xuelin saw a gray-white horn under the wood, so she grabbed it with one hand and pulled it out, and lifted the wood on top with all her strength with the other hand.

Seeing this, old man Wan also came over to help.

The two quickly pulled out the half-rotten woven bag, but a wooden box was also brought out along the way.

Not big, just the size of two palms.There are exquisite patterns carved on it, but it is a pity that the copper ornaments are gone.

However, it was well preserved, and Chen Xuelin couldn't put it down after seeing it.

Turning to look at old man Wan, there was inquiry and expectation in his eyes: "Master, can I take this away?"

Old Man Wan hesitated.

This thing looks like a little bourgeoisie, so logically it should be incinerated.

But he couldn't bear the burning of the raw things.

Thinking that the broken wood in the scrap yard can also be sold as firewood by the catty, old man Wan said cruelly, "Girl, why don't you buy some more and use it as firewood when you go home?"

Chen Xuelin: "." Although I was shocked by old man Wan's logic, I was quite happy.She has money with her, so she can buy more if she buys more.

Maybe there is precious wood here, she takes it back and puts it there for 20 years, and then finds someone to polish it into a bracelet, and she can make a lot of money.

So he nodded hurriedly: "Okay, thank you, sir!"

Seeing that Chen Xuelin was happy, old man Wan also smiled.That's great, it can meet the little girl's needs without embarrassing herself.

"Then you pick it yourself, you don't need much, just put together ten catties and eight catties."

Chen Xuelin nodded, thinking that with such a good opportunity, she must choose more.It's just a bit big, and I don't know how to bring it back.

But it's still early, so let's move.She can always move the car to the station at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Chen Xuelin squatted on the ground and concentrated on picking up the wood. She didn't know which ones were good, so she picked the heavy ones.

She seems to remember that denser wood is more expensive.For example, ebony and ebony can sink in water.

Old man Wan saw that he had nothing to do here, so he went back to the door and guarded it.

Chen Xuelin rummaged here, and finally picked two relatively complete chair legs, two relatively complete bed legs, and a piece of wood that she couldn't tell what it was, which was oddly shaped.

It sounds like there are not many things, but the key is that she is very heavy, so when she moved to the door, she was almost tired and paralyzed.

Old man Wan laughed: "I told you to make less, why do you still make so much?"

Chen Xuelin raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, "I'll take all of these close eyes."

After speaking, she turned back to the pile of wood and re-stacked the ones she didn't like.Seeing this, old man Wan didn't try to persuade her any more, he just weighed her leisurely.

"A total of 32 catties, plus that set of books, you can give me two yuan and five!"

Chen Xuelin nodded, took out money from his pocket and handed it to Old Man Wan.I thought this uncle was good, so I gave him two big white rabbits.

"Master, it's not that I'm stingy, it's that I didn't bring much with me when I came out. Look, the bags are all shrunken." Chen Xuelin patted his small satchel and signaled him that there was really nothing in it.

Old man Wan almost laughed angrily, pointed at her nose and said, "I just said you are not poor, you still pretend to me!"

Chen Xuelin chuckled, not knowing how to explain it.Said she was adopted?It's just the first time we met, so there's no need to throw yourself out.

"That's all right, all right, you're the only one who has a temper with me, otherwise I'd have chased people away with a big broom. By the way, what's your name?"

"Chen Xuelin!"

"Well, my surname is Wan, Wan Mianxue, and I'm coming back to the county seat, remember to come and chat with me."

"Okay, Master Wan, I remember."

Chen Xuelin put the set of books into the woven bag one by one.But she was clumsy and couldn't put it well.

Old man Wan had no choice but to take out a few old newspapers from the house, put his schoolbag together, and tie it with hemp rope.

Then put it in a woven bag, and stuff the wooden stick into the gap for her.Put the lump of wood on the top, and tied it with hemp rope.

"Okay, it's easy to take it like this. As for the box, you can put it in your bag. Be careful, the bag rotted halfway."

Chen Xuelin nodded gratefully: "Thank you, sir!" After speaking, he stuffed the box into his bag, regardless of whether it was dirty or not.

"Then I will go back first, uncle, and I will come to see you another day!"

Old Man Wan waved his hand and turned away from looking at her.

Actually sad.Being put into such a corner, the children and grandchildren are not around, and there is no one to talk to.

After finally looking forward to a little girl, she left after shopping.He was a little sad, but he couldn't open his mouth to keep him.

Oh, the old man is so lonely!
