Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 114 Why are you back today?

It was still a while before dark, and when passing by the recycling bin, he went to select books for more than an hour.

Today Lao Jia and Lao Kang are not there, he is the only one to choose.

Because all the paper items there were loaded and sent away yesterday, there are basically not many books where the old books are stacked today.

But it doesn't matter. No matter how many books he has, his time is limited after all, just a few hours.

When it was dark and out of sight, he selected another fifty or sixty pounds of books and a small number of other paper items such as envelopes, postcards, comic strips, etc.

After dinner in the evening, when he arrived at his place of residence, he first charged up his electric tricycle, considering that he was going back to his hometown.

The distance between here and Guyi is only more than 20 kilometers. The car is fully charged and there is no problem in running back and forth.

After finishing charging the electric car, he began to sort out the books he bought at the recycling bin in the evening and the things that might be mixed in them.

The books I bought tonight include several martial arts books, such as "The Essence of Kick Techniques", "Shaolin Hongquan", "Bruce Lee's Martial Arts", "Inner Strength One Finger Zen", "Southern Fist Duel Training", etc. .

For a book like this, if you take it to the door of the construction site and sell it for five yuan a book, it will probably sell well.

In a comic strip magazine, he found a "good news" from a special era.

There is an image of a great man in the middle of this good news, with the words on both sides: "Carry forward the XX tradition and strive for greater glory!"

The content is probably that under the guidance of the XX line, I read and studied carefully, improved my awareness, made contributions in construction, and was rated as such and such. I hereby report the good news!

In a rural art manual, he found several "cotton purchase coupons."

These bills were from the 80s, with the word "囍" printed on them. They were marriage subsidy bills. This was the first time he had seen such bills.

When it was almost 11 o'clock, he washed up and went to bed. In the meantime, he chatted with Yi Xiaoyue on QQ for a while.

The next morning he got up, washed up, got on his bike and had breakfast at the noodle shop in front of the family compound, and then set off directly to his hometown.

He is very familiar with the route home. Although the urban environment and road conditions he sees now are different from those ten years ago, the road is still the same.

Riding a tricycle, he was also observing the city's construction situation along the way, such as where there are more towers and cranes, which area has more houses built, etc.

The number of tower cranes means that the construction site is large, and there are many workers there, so there are more work clothes that need to be worn for work. When you get there in the future, your old clothes will be easy to sell.

After leaving the city and suburbs, he looked at the countryside again along the road.

Compared with that bustling scene, the countryside seems very quiet.

Looking at the rice in the rice fields on the roadside, patches of green.

The fields of sesame seeds and cornmeal, the vegetable gardens, and the occasional small pond all gave him a completely different feeling in the urban area.

It took him almost 50 minutes to reach the alley where his home was.

My father doesn’t have a mobile phone, so I can’t contact him directly now.

Every time he came back before, Wu Yuansheng would go directly back home.

Sometimes he happened to be home, sometimes he wasn't.If he wasn't there, he would ask his neighbors where he had been.

Then go find him.

In his previous life, he rarely went home after his father passed away, and he usually spent the Chinese New Year in a rented house outside.

Thinking that he would see his father again soon, his heart became uneasy, with a sense of expectation and nostalgia!
He had a bad life in his last life, and he left without enjoying any of the blessings that being his son brought him.

In this life, I will definitely make up for it and cherish this family relationship even more.

"Yuan Sheng, you're back!"

While he was still thinking about the problem, a woman about 60 years old said to him.He took a look and saw that it was Aunt Huang, an acquaintance who lived in this alley, and could be regarded as someone of his father's generation.

"Yes! Aunt Huang, I'm back."

He also greeted her.

"You haven't been back for a long time. Your dad should have gone out to help others carry the ash bucket today. He is definitely not at home now. There is a family building a house in the north of the town. Boss Shen called him over a few days ago."

He knew that the boss Shen Aunt Huang was talking about was the masonry contractor who built the house, and the team he organized was also a "wild team".

It is definitely not comparable to the construction engineering teams in the city, but there is still no problem in building low-rise houses in the countryside.

Over the years, my father occasionally followed him to make a living.

Boss Shen is good-tempered, patient and a very good person. Although he has only met him a few times, he can tell.

"He's not here! Do you know the specific address?"

Wu Yuansheng asked Aunt Huang again.

The town is not big, but it is easier to find if you ask more specifically. Even if you see someone building a house and look for it, you can still find it.

"Next to Wang Laizi's fried melon seeds and peanut oil pressing shop, you can find it if you go look!"

"Thank you!"

After chatting with Aunt Huang for a few more words, he rode his tricycle to the door of his house and saw that the door was indeed locked.

He took out his cell phone and checked the time. It was already nine o'clock. Wu Yuansheng got on the bike again and went to the Wang Laizi Oil Press shop that Aunt Huang had mentioned.

He is very familiar with the town's conditions and routes. After all, the town is not big, and he has lived here since he was a child.

When passing by a supermarket, he bought two packs of good cigarettes and planned to give one to the masters working there.

It took him about 10 minutes to get there.

A house is indeed being built there, it seems to have been built not long ago, and only one floor has been built.

While riding his bicycle just now, he saw some people working there from a distance, including masters cutting wall bricks, masters making mortar, and masters helping to move bricks and carry ash buckets.

Looking again, he quickly spotted a familiar figure, his father Wu Jinyi. He was pushing a two-wheeled human-powered dump truck used on construction sites, which was loaded with yellow sand.

He rode the tricycle over there, found a spot to park it, and walked towards his father.

"Why are you back today!"

As he walked that way, his father also saw him and said to him.

Wu Yuansheng just looked at him without speaking. After a while, he called him:
"dad!"

A simple word, as if a long time had passed, traveling through time and space, allowing them to meet again.

There are not too many words, just this one word represents everything!
He wanted to support his son, but his relatives refused to wait for him. In his previous life, when he was 36 years old, he had only been collecting for a year and a half, but he had already accumulated some money.

But when I got home, my father was already gone!

And I thought that if I struggled for a while longer, I would take a good rest and do something else. Unfortunately, when I encountered that kind of opportunity, I worked so hard that I later left.

"Why are you still crying? I'll give you the key to my house. You go back first. I'll be back after get off work at 11 o'clock!"

Wu Yuansheng knew that they went to work very early. In this season, they should have started working around six o'clock.
