Quick travel to save a miserable life

Chapter 12 70 Female Educated Youth (12)

After buying the seeds, it was already lunch time. Lin Hui went to a state-owned restaurant and ate half a catty of dumplings. When she left, she packed up 40 meat buns and 40 white steamed buns and put them in the space, which was enough to last for a while.

After the meal, Lin Hui came to the scrap collection station in Bo City.

Although Lin Hui still didn't know the causal relationship between the disappearance of the jade bracelet and the rapid growth of space corn, Lin Hui felt that there must be a connection between the two.

But the specific connection needs further verification, but there are no other jade products in hand, so Lin Hui still wants to try her luck at the scrap collection station.

The scrap collection depot in Bo City is indeed much larger than that in Ku County and has more stuff. However, because there are too many stuff, it looks more messy.

Trying to find something valuable among so many things is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Lin Hui still aimed at the old furniture.

Since the beginning of this movement a few years ago, countless people have experienced family breakup, separation, and death. The richer the family, the more glorious the family has been, the greater the impact has been.

I don’t know how many generations of accumulated wealth have gone into other people’s pockets, and there are also many priceless treasures that have become dusty because they don’t know the true face of Mount Lu.

The necklaces, jade bracelets and gold bars that Lin Hui was lucky enough to find in the drawer last time must be like this.

In fact, Lin Hui didn't know much about wood. When searching for old furniture, she mainly looked for those that looked strong and thick. After all, only in this way could things be hidden.

Lin Hui searched carefully for a long time, but still found nothing. These broken furniture were just ordinary junk, without any mystery.

"Alas!" Seeing Lin Hui sigh, the eldest lady at the junk yard said with a smile: "My dear, these are just junk. If you want to find usable things, you have to go to a thrift store!"

"Thrift store?" Lin Hui asked.

Lin Hui learned from her aunt that there was a thrift store in Bo City that specialized in selling second-hand items that could still be used. If you knew the goods well, you could find a lot of good stuff.

The most important thing is that there are no tickets for anything inside!

Lin Hui decided to try her luck at a thrift store.

The layout of a thrift store is similar to that of a supply and marketing cooperative. There are several counters facing the door, and a salesperson stands inside. There are shelves behind the salesperson for storing larger items.

There are many types of items in the store, ranging from tables, chairs, furniture, and bicycles to watches, glasses, and radios. The key is that all of these are free of charge.

The salesperson at the thrift store had a good service attitude. Lin Hui stared at the watch on the counter for a long time without saying anything. Finally, Lin Hui pointed to a women's watch and asked the salesperson to take it out and take a look.

This is a simple, square women's watch, [-]% to [-]% new. The English on the back of the dial shows that the watch is made in Switzerland. Lin Hui has never heard of the specific brand, so it may be a niche brand.

However, she liked the appearance of this watch very much, and Lin Hui planned to buy it if the price was affordable.

Unfortunately, the salesperson said the watch cost 55 yuan, and Lin Hui now had less than [-] yuan in hand, so she had no choice but to give up.

Although the bicycles in the thrift store are old, they look at least [-] to [-]% new, and they are free of charge.

It would be great if I could buy it, Lin Hui thought eagerly.

Unfortunately, the price of eighty yuan is prohibitive. To make money, you still need to make more money, Lin Hui thought to herself.

Lin Hui searched through the pile of old furniture on the second floor of the second-hand shop, but found nothing.

These furniture must have been cleaned when they were collected. Even if there is a mezzanine inside, the contents inside must have been removed by others.

In the end, she only bought a writing desk, which was [-]% new, made of ordinary poplar wood, and cost eight yuan.

Lin Hui asked the people in the store to move the table to a corner downstairs and took it into the space without anyone noticing.

After coming out of the thrift store, Lin Hui stopped shopping in the city and decided to go back to the village, but she had to do some things before going back.

In Yangmiao Village on the outskirts of Bo City, Lin Hui found out that there were many stonemasons in the village and wanted to buy a smaller stone mill to put in the space, so as not to have to get up early and stay up late every time he secretly used the stone mill in the team.

In the end, she spent 5 yuan to buy a small-sized stone mill. Lin Hui asked someone to put it in a designated place, saying that her family would come over soon, but in fact, she took it into the space when no one was around.

Lin Hui actually came to the village for another purpose, and that was to buy some laying hens.

Lin Hui tried to catch a small insect and put it into the space before. When she looked at it two days later, she found that the small insect was still crawling around.

It can be seen that space can accommodate living creatures.

So Lin Hui was not polite. With so much corn in her hands, she had to raise a few chickens so that she would have eggs to eat every day.

Due to policy reasons, each household now does not raise many chickens, for fear that one day they will have their tails cut off again. The chickens they raise are usually hens, which can lay eggs and bring them to the purchasing station in exchange for money to buy oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar.

Lin Hui spotted an aunt at the end of the village. Because her sister-in-law was pregnant and her mother wanted to buy some hens to lay eggs for her daughter-in-law, she took the lead and bought a total of six chickens from three families.

Because they were satisfied with the price, a sister-in-law even gave Lin Hui a basket to hold the chicken.

Lin Hui mentioned that her mother now lived in the factory's family compound and needed a fence to enclose the chickens. The aunt immediately enthusiastically removed a section of her own fence and gave it to Lin Hui, and said she would come back next time if needed!

Lin Hui said goodbye to the enthusiastic ladies and sisters-in-law, took a moment to put the chickens and fences into the space, and embarked on her way home.

Originally, Lin Hui was prepared to walk the entire distance on two legs, but unexpectedly she encountered an ox cart going in the same direction, so she rode the ox cart for most of the way. Although it was bumpy, at least she didn't have to walk on her own. Going away is not.

Walking all the way to the entrance of the village, I saw that it was getting close to the time for work to end in the afternoon. I put out the table and some things in the space and put them on the ground, waiting for someone to pass by and ask for help.

Sure enough, after a while, someone was leaving work and passing through the village entrance to go home. Lin Hui waited until the people from the educated youth spot came over, and then called a few male educated youths to carry the table back.

Wu Caiyu kept chattering and asking questions along the way, and Chen Lu also showed curiosity about the big baggage in Lin Hui's hand. Yang Hongjuan looked disdainful but couldn't help but look at the shape of the baggage and guess what was inside.

When they arrived at the educated youth point, Lin Hui set up the table, put two big bags on the table and started taking out things.

First came the toilet water that Zhang Moran asked for, then the towel that Zhao Lei asked for, then Chen Lu's nylon socks, and a large pack of matches shared by the educated youth point.

Then the rest of the baggage was Wu Caiyu's things, and they were all for food: a pound of peach cakes, a pound of fried fruits, a pound of sugar, and a pound of white sugar.

Seeing this pile of food, Wu Caiyu smiled happily.

After giving all the things he brought to the corresponding people, Wu Caiyu was full of curiosity about the other baggage: "Lin Hui, how was your trip to visit relatives?"

"It's okay, pretty good!" Lin Hui said vaguely.

Lin Hui took out the cloth and a large bag of cornmeal from the bag, and Wu Caiyu almost screamed.

Lin Hui hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "Don't yell. I bought the fabric myself and the cornmeal was given by my relatives."

Although Wu Caiyu was very curious about this relative, seeing that Lin Hui was unwilling to say more, she stopped digging into the details. Instead, she was more curious about how to arrange the bag of cornmeal.

Taking out this bag of cornmeal was Lin Hui's decision after careful consideration.

After being in the same room with Wu Caiyu for so long, Lin Hui also realized that this girl is a simple, enthusiastic but principled person, and she is also good to herself. She will often open a small stove to add meals in the future, and it is not good to hide it from her. On the surface, we still have to come up with something.

"This cornmeal was given to me by my relatives to improve my life after they heard that I eat sweet potatoes every day. The amount is not much, so we can only eat it in private and cannot share it with everyone."

"Us? Do you mean there is still me?" Wu Caiyu pointed at herself in surprise.

"Yes, I have eaten your peach cakes and candies before. These cornmeal cakes are made into pancakes as a snack, which is enough for us to eat for a while."

Wu Caiyu beamed with joy, and even laughed out loud in her dreams when she fell asleep at night.

In the evening, Lin Hui entered the space and first watered the beans, and then looked at the situation of the chickens. Fortunately, the chickens were surrounded by fences in the corner of the black soil, and there were large piles of corn kernels in front of them. They were very happy.

Lin Hui used the newly purchased stone mill to grind cornmeal for a while, until she was extremely tired before she found room to sleep.
