Chapter 2

Boss Hong is above Boss, Xiao Que has never seen it before, and he doesn't know how powerful Boss's Boss is.In his eyes, Dalong and Dahu, who are in charge of everyone's livelihood in the old building, are powerful people.They can make themselves unable to pick up anything, can make themselves unable to buy cheap rice and vegetables, and cut off the supply of that kind of large grain salt.

Xiao Que was terribly afraid of both Dahu and Dalong, not to mention Boss Hong and those who were more powerful than him.

Before everyone's living areas were re-divided, Xiao Que knew that there were new regulations in the city. The living quarters only allowed special cleaners to enter and exit. They had a uniform yellow color. They were transported away by large garbage trucks and sent to the garbage disposal station. .People like Xiao Que who are pushing carts and holding hooks are not allowed to enter.

There will always be many good things in the living area sent to the garbage disposal station, such as blankets, sheets, quilt covers, clothes, and shoes that are in short supply.If it is the day when the garbage in the villa area arrives, there will even be brand new and extraordinarily gorgeous items inside.

If you want these things, you can also get them, just ask the webmaster or Dahu for help.Xiao Que is fairly familiar with them, and the station master is also someone who went out of the old building earlier.

But unless it's a harsh winter or it's a last resort, Xiao Que won't go there easily. He knows that he can't afford what he wants, so he has to exchange it with what you have.

Xiaoqian, who cannot enter the community to search, can only look for waste products on the street. If he can get it on the street in the commercial district, he can sell it for surplus money. How amazing it is to have surplus money when he is full. things that make people happy.

Dahu still likes Xiao Que very much, although he also has to consider Dalong's thoughts and the protection of his power.

Xiao Que is still a main road leading to the bustling business district.Xiao Que can pick up everything in the trash can first, including beverage bottles, wrapping paper, and iron cans. After a day, he can pick up a full cart and pull it to sell.

Picking up garbage in the commercial area can't be too dirty, the whole area is clean, the sanitation workers keep cleaning back and forth, but they only clean up the dust, cigarette butts, paper scraps, no matter who picks up what here.Sometimes they also chat with Xiao Que, and take a rest while leaning on a carrying bucket with a long stick.

The next day, there will be huge yellow garbage trucks transporting waste that cannot be sold to the factory during the day, and the recycling station can make money by using them and processing them into other things.They don't care about the small slack, because the boss has already greeted the garbage disposal station manager.

Xiao Que's clothes and trousers were washed white, and the original color of the cloth appeared after the color faded, and the density of the knitting could be seen clearly.He put the cart in a hidden corner, took out a cushion from the cart, hugged Chi Chi to sit on it, and stuffed him with a handful of boiled peanuts in his pocket, Chi Chi can be so obedient stay a day.

In this way, Xiao Que can just go through the trash can every hour and collect all the things that can be sold.There are beggars, baggers, and vendors who share this street with Xiao Que, and here Xiao Que pays the least tribute, although he earns very little.

Xiao Que knows that the most profitable work on this street is done by Dalong's subordinates, so every time they stare at a purse, Xiao Que always avoids it.

A big dragon is more terrifying than a big tiger.Dalong doesn't even look at them who pick up garbage and beg for food. He takes care of healthy and strong men. a piece of land.

Dalong's power is developing well, and he often trades with others in the old building. Xiao Que has seen Dalong holding a gun.So Dalong has always been rich, and he doesn't like any man in the old building.

The land across the street from Xiao Que belongs to the man who wants to raise three younger brothers. He has three whole streets to make a living, and there are more tributes.But the money he earns can support the lives of four people, especially among them are three half-sized children who can eat very much.

Xiao Que seldom interacts with people in the old building. He only knows how other people make money and how to spend it by secretly listening to their conversations when passing by.But a small shortage of money can only buy some cheap food and necessary medicines.

It's like eating without shoes until now, and the two little feet are neatly huddled under the apron.Xiao Que is going to wrap Chichi's feet with a small pink blanket.Given the opportunity to see thick fabrics, small gaps will always accumulate as much as possible.

Xiao Que sat directly on the ground, eating next to each other, watching the child chew the boiled peanuts one by one, "Kaba Kaba", one grain can last for a long time.These peanuts were sold when the vegetable market was cleaned up at night, and they were already out of tide. They were sold in a large package, along with other withered vegetable leaves, to Xiao Que. They might be kept for heavy snowfall, and they could not be cooked when they went out.For small shortages, when you can't move, you must have something nutritious, so food reserved for winter is a luxury.

Xiao Que rummaged through the box containing the rags. He wanted to use this pink blanket to make a sock cover for Chichi, the length of which could reach the child's calf.

The previous owner of the blanket was probably also a child, a beautiful and lovely little girl. She grew up, and the blanket was no longer needed, and it was pressed on the bottom of the box for a long time, corroded by mold mottled and broken holes.But it doesn’t matter, Xiao Que has practiced sewing since he was a child, and now he is patching up the holes with small pieces of cloth of the same color. The gorgeous clothes sold in the window are just as beautiful and warm.It is estimated that it can be done in two days. At that time, it will be the best socks for children.

The sun is high and the sun is warm.Even if it is not a weekend, it is very busy with people coming and going, everyone is looking for a restaurant, and it is time for lunch.

In the beginning, Xiao Que fed a cold meal, so it was obviously impossible for him to treat children according to his usual eating standards.Now Xiao Que knew that he had to heat up the rice before he could eat it.

There are public microwave ovens in many nearby buildings, but they don't allow Xiao Que to enter.

There is a public library across the street that any homeless person can enter. It is very large, with several floors of books, and everyone is welcome to go in and read, including sloppy people.

Although Xiao Que couldn't read, he liked the smell of ink from the books inside.

And there is hot water in it, and there is a microwave oven that can heat food. Xiao Que is very grateful to the curator there.When there are activities in the museum, the entrance will be filled with flowers, and Xiao Que will pick a large bouquet of flowers on the side of the road, and put them secretly among the many garlands.So much love and gratitude to the curator.

Because, such a library that is completely open to garbage people is the only one in the city. There is no household registration, no status, small shortages and food, and among the service facilities in the entire city, this is the only one that can belong to them.

Xiao Que, who went to enjoy the service on the other side of the street, was worried about putting Chichi himself here. He carried the child in his arms and hung a bulging bag at an angle.There are plastic boxes for meals and a large-caliber iron cup inside.

Cooking in the old building can only use iron boxes to add water and rice to the fire, and then use tongs to take them out.

This plastic box is specially picked up by Xiao Que for food, because children need hot meals, and putting the plastic box in the microwave will not damage any equipment.And they wash their hands clean before using them.

One street, Xiao Que walked for half an hour with Chi Chi Chi in his arms, and the side of his shoes was always worn out due to his inability to balance and walk.

Sometimes I don’t wear shoes when there is a small shortage in an old building, so that the shoes can last longer.However, he saved a lot of shoes this year, because he couldn't afford big shoes for food, so all the shoes he picked up belonged to Xiaoqian.

The two shoes he wore today looked similar, and they were selected by Xiao Que after a long time of pairing.

It's a pity that there are no shoes for eating and drinking.Today he will carefully search the trash can to see if there are any discarded children's shoes.If you're lucky, you'll meet old shoes that were thrown away after buying new ones. Even luckier, they're a pair of shoes for a four-year-old child.

Xiao Que hugged and ate at the corner of the stairs and ate a rice mixed with brown rice and rice. The rice was mixed together, exuding the fragrance of rice.

The rice that has only been washed once retains the original fragrance of the rice. The gray brown rice has been washed many times, and the blackened ones are thrown out. Although the small shortage is not very willing, but the old man also said, no matter what, don’t make yourself sick , being sick is the most terrible thing for a homeless person.

Moreover, it is said that the nutritional value of brown rice is getting higher and higher, and eating it is very healthy for the body. Therefore, Xiao Que is very relieved to share it with the food.

Their dishes are also very rich. The soft boiled Chinese cabbage, the tender shiitake mushrooms, and the tofu cut into small pieces are all swept away.The fire barrels that burn all the year round in the old building can only be used for stewing and cooking. Xiaoque’s two dishes are very good.

Especially after raising and eating, in addition to salt, Xiao Que also puts some other seasonings in the dishes. Although only a little bit is added each time, it is still delicious.

After the meal, Xiao Que ate and drank hot water, and drank a large glass of water himself, until his stomach was full, and then he limped back to his stroller with the child in his arms.After the meal is the time when waste products are plentiful, Xiao Que didn't care about the eyes of passers-by, and carefully rummaged through the trash can, harvesting a lot of bottles.

The big boxes that come in from the store are neatly folded and placed at the bottom of the cart, and the waste paper is also laid out evenly. Xiao Que puts the cushions back on the cart, and the children wrapped in cloths sit obediently in the cart .

Xiao Que neatly packed the food boxes and cloth boxes one by one.Finally, I hung three large woven bags filled with beverage bottles on the edge of the cart, and returned slowly.

They passed the last candy store and left the business district. They walked along the road and passed the old building to the garbage disposal station.

Xiao Que took a deep breath at the entrance of the candy store, a sweet smell filled his whole body, and pushed the cart over with full of energy.Tomorrow is the weekend, a beautiful day with the most tourists and a lot of waste products. Maybe he can buy a few pieces of candy for Chichichi, because it tastes so sweet, he must have never experienced it before eating snacks.

When the sky was getting dark, when Xiao Que passed by the old building, he found a large group of people, a large group of strong adult men, had come to the empty field overgrown with weeds opposite his residence.

The weather in early winter is nothing to them. Short-sleeved, bare-chested, and thin-clothed workers are noisily building blue copper plates.But after going out for a day, the changes here are so big, Xiaoque has already seen it, it is a temporary workshop that has begun to take shape.

Some people who came back from the old building were watching the excitement around, and Xiao Que had seen the construction before, where he could pick up iron or other metals, which were the most profitable things.But he had never seen a house built so quickly, with doors and windows, and a bed inside.And there is no construction team for breaking ground in winter. I don't know what these people are doing here.

This group of workers is very strong, and they are all over 180 tall. Xiao Que has never seen such migrant workers.Although there is only one road away, the masculine momentum of the construction site forces the dilapidated old building.Xiao Que, who has not had enough to eat all year round, looks even weaker in front of this group of people.

With such a group of tall and powerful people gathered together, even just a glance is enough to scare Xiao Que.He pushed the cart and wanted to walk over quickly, but the more he hurried, the more his legs became uncontrollable.

"Little cripple, hurry up, don't get in the way." The workers stopped and laughed when they saw Xiao Que limping around.

Hearing the shouts of the younger brothers, the foreman stopped his movements and wiped his sweat with his big hands. The muscles on his chest were bulging and shiny. The army green work pants were tied with a belt with a big buckle, revealing his firm belly and narrow waist. , Bronze skin is the healthiest color at first glance.His belt can beat people to death, Xiao Que was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground.

The foreman's sharp eyes caught Xiao Que flustered and nervous, "Hey, why are you in a hurry, walk slowly step by step, can we still eat you?" Xiao Que quickly glanced at the foreman, his mountain-like body frightened him. Pushing the cart vigorously, the wheels and bottles collided and creaked and creaked.It seemed that the workers were really going to boil him in a pot and eat him.

Foreman Wang Jianjun was amused by Xiao Que, and pointedly noticed that the little cripple had big and bright eyes, which were hidden by the dirty face, but did not detract from the clarity of the eyes.The foreman got in the mood, and began to scare Xiao Que, "Go away, look at you, and break your leg again!".

The other workers followed Wang Jianjun's lead, and they have been relying on work since they came out of the village when they were young. The younger ones were almost raised by Wang Tou. They all followed suit and shouted: "Break your leg, break your calf. "

The workers took a breath and continued to work. They stepped up their work and dug the ground and built houses. Even the two ends who only control the map have been busy all day for connecting water and electricity. Adjustment, I don't take it to heart after laughing.

Xiao Que was different. He pushed the cart and finally passed by, and there was no sound from behind.But his mind was still beating wildly, as if the group of wild beasts had already chased him.He patted Chi Chi, who was sitting blankly in the car, and said comfortingly, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid."

He didn't react at all, his eyes didn't even meet Xiao Que's eyes.However, Xiao Que gradually became tired from pushing the cart, and his mind became more stable.He came to the processing station familiarly and sold the waste to get paid.

The people in the station are very polite to Xiao Que. The people who come and go here are similar to Xiao Que. Xiao Que looks dirty but his clothes are always clean. There is no such disgusting smell. Honestly, you can pay as much as you want. Money, never noisy.

The important thing is that the station master told him to take care of him, so Xiao Que quickly sold today's harvest, counted the money one by one, folded it into a square and carefully put it in his pocket.

Xiao Que squeezed Chiche's little face, and he can buy candy for the baby tomorrow.
