The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 84 Going to the Scrap Collection Station

Shen Zhensheng took Xiao Baoer out of the alley and asked Xiao Baoer where to go next?

Xiao Baoer said, "Go to the scrap collection station. By the way, did you buy the stamps I asked you to buy when you went to the post office to mail the letter?"

"I bought all the stamps you asked me to buy, and I bought many sets, many of which were complete sets.

The staff at the post office asked me several times if I was sure I wanted to buy them. I put them all in this bag. Wife, do you like collecting stamps? Why do you buy so many?

"Of course not, husband, let me tell you, these stamps will appreciate in value in the future. They are very valuable. I am saving a fortune for our son and future daughter."

"Wife, you are amazing. I will go to the post office and ask when I have a chance, and buy stamps for you."

"Okay, you're so good, husband. There are still several years before the reform and opening up in 78. I was planning to take mother, second sister-in-law, and eldest aunt to make clothes after the New Year, and let Sister Lan and Zhou Bao sell them abroad. You can also drive a truck to sell them abroad. I will give mother and them labor fees, which is also a way to make money, which is better than mother and them working."

"Then what? Do you have any new ideas?" Shen Zhensheng heard that Xiao Baoer had other ideas, so he asked.

"Yes, I'll prepare in advance. I'll draw the design in a while. There are a lot of fabrics in the space. I'll let mother and the others make a few sets first, and let Sister Lan and Zhou Bao try them out. If they are good for export, mother and the aunts with better personalities in the village will be busy during the winter.

I can also give the goods to my mother and my sisters-in-law from my mother's family, so that everyone's life will be a little better. Life is so difficult in this era."

Shen Zhensheng felt extremely proud when he heard the little woman worrying about the livelihood of those close to her.

My daughter-in-law is a person with a big heart. She not only cares about her own family, but also cares about the people around her.

The two chatted as they rode their bikes. When they arrived at the scrap collection station, the same old man was still watching, but he looked very worried today.

"Uncle, I'm bringing my husband here today to buy some old newspapers and see if there's any old furniture."

"Okay, you go in."

Xiao Baoer asked Xiao Putao to start treasure hunting. It would be too tiring for her to use her supernatural powers. Since she had a little pet, she might as well use it.

Little Grape: If it is my fault that I am so powerful, please forgive me and let me go.

"Grape, start working."

"Master, the grapes are in place. Master, the useless box in front of you may look worn out, but it contains three diamonds that can be sold for a lot of money."

"Honey, take the box in front."

Following Xiao Baoer's instructions, Shen Zhensheng picked up the box, shook it deliberately to make sure it was not empty, and nodded at Xiao Baoer.

"Master, everything you step on is money."

Xiao Baoer picked up the thing under her feet. It was a diamond necklace with more than 200 diamonds around it.

But in this turbulent era, people’s lives are at risk and their stomachs are not full, so these diamonds may not be as valuable as food.

Little Grape continued searching, and later found an antique vase and a ring from the Ming Dynasty, which Xiao Baoer put into the space.

The two of them also picked out some old newspapers and a set of high school books and prepared to give them to Shen Zhenjiang so that he could read them when he had time. After all, the college entrance examination would be resumed in 78, and it would be better if he flipped through the books from time to time so that he would not be in a hurry when the time came.

Shen Zhensheng gave the items to the old man at the door, asked him to weigh them, and finally charged him 5 cents.

Seeing that the old man looked worried, Xiao Baoer asked him, "Uncle, is there any difficulty at home?"

"Hey, girl, my husband is sick at home, and we have no money to buy medicine. My son has tried everything to buy medicine but still can't afford it."

"Uncle, what's wrong with Madam?"

"I have a high fever. I am going to be confused. If I don't take medicine, I will die. This world is so difficult. It doesn't allow people to survive."

The old man squatted on the ground and cried bitterly. He couldn't eat or buy medicine, and the only way out was death.

Xiao Baoer thought about it and decided that if one life could be saved, it would be saved.

So he said to the old man, "Uncle, please wait here for a while. I have medicine at home. I will go get you some. Saving lives is important."

After that, the two of them left and came to a remote alley. Xiao Baoer took out some repackaged antipyretic drugs from the space, and also took 5 kilograms of rice, 5 kilograms of flour, 20 eggs, and some coarse grains.

After a while, the two returned to the scrap collection station and handed the things to the old man. The old man only left the life-saving medicine and did not dare to take any more food.

"My dear, you two are good people. I can't accept you. I just want some medicine to save my life."

"Uncle, listen to me. Auntie must be very weak after taking the medicine and her fever has gone down. Please make some porridge for her. Don't let her go hungry."

The old man was so moved that he shed tears again. "How can I thank you all? You are all such good people. I don't have anything to give you."

Nowadays, if someone can give medicine to others for free, it would be hard to say that he is not a good person.

Seeing the old man's face full of emotion and guilt, Xiao Baoer thought about it and looked at Shen Zhensheng again to eliminate the old man's guilt and embarrassment. Shen Zhensheng knew what Xiao Baoer was thinking.

Shen Zhensheng said to the old man, "Uncle, how about this, my wife likes old things very much. If there are people who come to sell junk here again, how about you help my wife keep an eye out for some old things?"

When the old man heard that he could do something to help the couple, he of course agreed without hesitation.

"Hey, okay, I'll keep an eye out for you. If there's anything, I'll put it away and wait for you two to come, girl, boy, thank you."

"You're welcome, sir. Please take the medicine home for my wife to take."

After the two men left in a hurry, the old man also rushed home to deliver the medicine. It is not easy to meet a good person these days.

Shen Zhensheng and Xiao Baoer returned home, and along the way they discussed going to the county in a couple of days to visit Xiuxiu and take a family photo with their three children to hang in the new house.

Xiao Baoer plans to go to the county's scrap collection station again when the time comes. There will definitely be more good stuff there than here.

Anyway, they are all ownerless things. If you don't collect them yourself, you don't know who will get them in the future.

Xiao Baoer’s business principle in his previous life was that as long as it did not violate the law and morality, he would be a bastard if he didn’t make money.

The two men rode a brand new 28-inch bicycle back to the village, causing a commotion at the entrance of the village.
