Rebirth of the Legend of the Red Age

Chapter 50, Acquisition Station Operation
Note: The RMB mentioned now is not the first set of RMB, but the second set of RMB.

The second set of RMB was issued in 1955 based on the first set of RMB.

The amounts mentioned before were all tens of thousands of yuan, which sounded very impressive. In fact, after the second set of RMB was issued, the exchange rate between the two sets of RMB was about 1 to 1, which means that the original 1 yuan was actually one yuan today.

It was because Wang Li spent all his family's cash on collecting that his family did not stand out during the exchange of the second set of RMB. After all, with his rent and salary, he would have to have nearly 10,000 yuan to exchange the second set of RMB.

After Wang Li placed the bronze sword into the underground treasury, he came to the garden gate and started a day's work of collecting and sorting waste with Lai San.

In fact, it was just a saying. The main job was to sit on a chair at the door with Lai San, drinking tea and waiting for others to come and sell waste.

After more than ten years of operation, his scrap collection station has become very famous in Xicheng District.

Because their prices are fair, their staff are kind and polite, and their service attitude is good, people who collect waste in the surrounding streets are willing to sell their waste to their recycling station.

Only Wang Li’s treasure house could contain so many collections.

We have a lot of business today because today is the time for the district recycling station to pick up the waste. Soon, cars will enter the garden and load the recently purchased waste into the trucks and take it away. This is also an aspect of performance evaluation.

Because of the outstanding performance of Siheyuan Purchasing Station in recent years, Wang Li's father was transferred to the district material recycling company, but he refused on the grounds of being too old. Similarly, Wang Li also received an invitation from the district material recycling company, but he also refused.

In short, although the name of the waste recycling station is not nice and the working environment is not very clean, it is free and right at home, so it has many advantages. Wang Li also likes his current job and life.

Wang Li's father has already decided that when he turns 50, he will resign from his position as the manager of the recycling station and let Lai San take over, while Wang Li will continue to work at the recycling station.

Wang Li fully supports his father's decision. After all, although the two elders are in good health, they are old and it is time to enjoy life. After get off work in the evening, several people in the courtyard are having dinner.

Lai Xiaomei is already 12 years old this year and will soon graduate from high school. However, his academic performance is not as good as Wang Li's, but just average.

Maybe it was because he had no parental discipline since childhood, Lai San was just a rough boy, and Wang Li's parents doted on Lai Xiaomei too much, so Lai Xiaomei was very reluctant to study.

Lai Xiaomei discussed with her brother: Brother, I don’t want to go to junior high school anymore, I don’t like studying, I want to work.

Lai San glanced at her and said: It’s okay if you don’t study, but you are too young to work and you can’t do anything.

Don't be surprised, six years of primary school is good in this era. Especially for a girl, although it is not so strict that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent, there are still relatively few girls who go to school. In addition, Lai San himself has little education, and thinks that it is good for his sister to have finished primary school.

Wang Li opened his mouth but said nothing. After all, in his era, 12 years old was the right age to go to school. However, because the times were different and Lai Xiaomei was indeed not a good student, he did not interrupt.

Wang Li's mother touched Lai Xiaomei's head and said: Little sister, stay with your aunt first and learn to do housework. When she grows up a little, I will find her a job.

The younger sister happily hugged Wang Li’s mother’s arm and said coquettishly: Aunt Wang is always the best to me, and then looked at Wang Li again.

Seeing Wang Li nodded, he breathed a sigh of relief and thought: I finally don’t have to go to school.
