Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Chapter 276 No one can resist the passage of time!

Although Boss Luo said this, Wu Yuansheng still stuffed the money into his wallet.

Others can say they don’t want it, but they can’t refuse it.

No matter how good the relationship is or how familiar the person is, if someone helps someone, they must pay a certain amount of hard work and appearance fees.

If you give them benefits, the relationship will last longer, and if something good happens next time, they will continue to think about you.

At first, Boss Luo took the money out of his wallet and wanted to return it to him, but he said pushing it back and forth wasted everyone's time, and there was no reason to take the money back after giving it away.

Seeing that he couldn't shirk it, Boss Luo took the money.

"Let me take a look at your photo album and those old books!"

After he collected the money, Wu Yuansheng said again.

Next, Master Luo took out two photo albums and handed them to him.

These two photo albums are all homemade. After they are made, they are bound with a stapler.

Opening the book on the front, he saw on the first page written horizontally: "Workers and Peasants' Ditch Improvement Project" in large characters.

There are also some small text descriptions below, such as where the location is, when it was built, some problems occurred after it was built, and subsequent consolidation projects were carried out.

This photo album is a compilation of a large number of consolidation projects carried out from the winter of 1969 to the spring of 1972.

Turning the page, there were two photos.

One photo is of "Unity Cave". The plaques on both sides read:

The words "The Foolish Old Man moved mountains to transform the whole country, unite for greater victory!"

In the photo, there are also several people dressed as workers and peasants sitting on the stone steps next to the entrance of the cave.

Another photo shows a large mountain. Among the mountains and forests, you can see endless ditches and flowing water.

Turned another page, still two photos.

One photo shows people digging mountains and building canals. There are many people inside.

This is a close-up photo. Only about thirty people can be seen, working in a small area.

There were no excavators in that era, so they relied on simple tools such as hoes, shovels, and bamboo baskets and their hands to work.

The people in the photo are barefoot and wearing straw hats, early military hats, and workers' hats.

It was a lively scene where soldiers and civilians were united.

Another photo shows two women working together to pound rocks.

There were no electric drills in those days, so we could only use simple tools like hammers and chisels to do the work.

Continuing to look back, he saw photos of people gathering together to study, read, listen to stories from relevant people, work on various occasions, and build a canal to bridge between two mountains.

Due to limited conditions, these photos are all in black and white.

In addition to photos, some of the following also have text descriptions.

They have some value.

"This photo album is not bad! Decades ago, living conditions were difficult, and people built water conservancy projects with their hands and feet. Look at the photos, there is not even a bucket or cart."

Boss Luo said after seeing him finish reading the "Workers and Peasants' Ditch Renovation Project" photo album.

"It's not bad. It's worth collecting. The living conditions at that time were really difficult. I saw that most of the people working were barefoot, and some even had patches on their clothes!"

As he spoke, he picked up another photo album and read it.

What is written on this book is: "Provincial Photography Short-term Training Class", "Jiangcheng Second Commercial School", and "Homework Card".

Looking inside, there is a date written on it, 1979.

There are photos posted on the page, and there are some text explanations next to them, such as "aperture", "speed", "job analysis", "weather", "comments" and other contents.

These are some tips on photography.

The photo in the album shows a young girl about 20 years old, with twin ponytails and a plaid shirt. She is smiling and looks pretty.

"Isn't this girl pretty?"

While Wu Yuansheng was watching, Boss Luo said to him again.

<divclass="contentadv"> "She is quite good-looking! But her current age should be over fifty."

he replied.

The photo taken in 79 is now 13 years old and will soon be 14 years old. He is indeed over years old.

"You are right as you say. Little beauties become old beauties as they grow older! No one can resist the passage of time!"

"Boss Luo, how much do two photo albums cost?"

Without continuing to talk about the girl in the photo, he asked.

"You can give it to me! I dug it out of an old book and it didn't cost much!"

Master Luo said casually.

"Then I'll give you 100 yuan in a minute! One yard for each yard, and you don't have to think that I gave you 200 yuan for hard work and you're too embarrassed to negotiate with me! After I finish selecting the used books, I'll pay you the money together. , what do you think?"

Wu Yuansheng said to him again.

100 yuan is enough to buy all the used books in his car.

"Okay! Then take a look at these old books again!"

As Boss Luo spoke, he dumped all the old books in the two snakeskin bags on the tricycle on the ground.

The floor here is cement and not dirty.

After the books were all emptied, he began to read the old books.

Textbooks, magazines, novels, newspapers, and some practical reference books, recipes, health care, etc., among which there are also a small number of comics, letters, etc.

Whenever he sees something that can be sold on a street stall, he will find it if it is valuable.

My father set up a street stall to sell used clothes, so I could take them with me and sell them.

Wu Jinyi is currently resting in rainy and snowy weather. He does not set up his stall in the morning. Business is good at noon and afternoon, so he can set up stalls for most of the day, which is relatively free.

When he was choosing, people passing by saw used books for sale, and some people came to choose, but they didn't choose many, just one or two.

He didn't say anything about this. When you choose a book, you can't let others not choose it.

Of course, he could also tell others that he had reserved these books, but he did not do that. They were all people living nearby, so there was no need to offend others.

While looking through old newspapers, he saw a promotional picture of a certain city's construction achievements in the past thirty-two years.

Promotional images are produced in the form of savings.

The amount of per capita deposits in four years is written above, with corresponding figures for each year.

among them:

1952: 10.47 yuan.

1966: 19.45 yuan.

1976: 40.94 yuan.

1980: 100.22 yuan.

In addition to numbers, there are related illustrations and photos of saving money.

Judging from the photos, saving money in those days felt like going into an office, paying the money and then issuing a deposit receipt.

After all, due to conditions, there was no Internet at that time.

Construction achievements have a lot to do with people's income.

Economic growth can be seen most intuitively through per capita income in different years.

He also planned to buy these newspapers to use when going out to pack things later.
