Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 100

When Zhang Yaohua got home, he saw a Sanbengzi parked in front of his house. On the bed of the Sanbengzi was a lot of paper, plastic bottles, rotten rubber shoes, broken copper and iron, and other garbage.

have to!Zhang Yaohua knew what he was doing.

Garbage collectors used to come to the village on bicycles, or simply with a pole, carrying garbage on one end and snacks on the other.

When Zhang Yaohua was a child, he often kept the used toothpaste bottles at home and sold them for money.It seems that toothpaste bottles used to be made of aluminum, but now they are rarely seen.

Not to mention, there were so many aluminum products in the past, including pots for boiling water at home, lunch boxes, etc.

But later, it was rumored that aluminum products were unsafe and could be poisoned, so people rarely saw them anymore.

From a scientific point of view, it makes sense.

Those of us who have studied chemistry know that aluminum is a metal that is relatively active and easily oxidized, forming an oxide film, which can protect aluminum from further oxidation to a certain extent.But if you come into contact with things like table salt a lot, that oxide film may be decomposed and then absorbed by the body.

Of course, that's the theory.

In fact, the various chemical residues in the food we eat now may be more serious than the heavy metals in aluminum pots, so there is no need to worry about the poison of other people's aluminum products.

In addition to toothpaste bottles, there are also duck feathers and more.Duck feathers are quite valuable. In the past, duck feathers cost fifty cents per duck, or a few dollars per pound.

In the past, fifty cents was a lot of money for a child!

As for rotten rubber shoes, only really greedy kids would sell them.When Zhang Yaohua was a child, his rubber sandals were broken, so he burned them with red-hot tongs, glued them back on and continued to wear them.If the soles of the shoes are rotten, then there is nothing you can do but sell them.

And some people, just for the one or two cents pocket money, would go out of their way to destroy their own shoes and then sell them.In the end, a severe beating from an adult will definitely be inevitable.

Zhang Yaohua said hello to the garbage collector. Although he was a garbage collector, there was no need to look down on him.

"Brother, let's go in and have a cup of tea!"

"No, no! I'm not thirsty. Do you want to smoke?" As he said that, the garbage collector took out a pack of cigarettes.

At this time, Azhen took out the garbage that could be sold for money from the house. She would usually save it and just wait for this moment!

When the garbage collector saw the pregnant woman, he silently stuffed the cigarette back into his pocket.

Zhang Yaohua saw and understood this detail, and smiled at him: "I don't smoke, thank you, brother!"

"Oh! By the way, how much does a pound of paper cost now?" Zhang Yaohua thought of the books, homework books, test papers, study materials, etc. in the two large cabinets at home.

Since he started studying, almost all the textbooks, materials, etc. have not been sold much.It's not that he doesn't want to sell it, but his parents don't allow it.

They have a saying here that selling books makes you stupid.People with poor grades like Zhang Yaowei will just sell it. It’s like that anyway. Is there still room for decline?
Zhang Yaohua is different. His academic performance has been good since he was a child. Naturally, he cannot affect his academic performance for a small amount of money.

"Sixty cents per pound, you can sell it for about one yuan when you take it to the recycling bin." The eldest brother who collects garbage confessed to Zhang Yaohua.

Seeing him being so frank, Zhang Yaohua nodded and said, "Brother, please wait a moment, or go in and have a cup of tea! I need to tidy up, there is a lot."

have to!Hearing what Zhang Yaohua said, the garbage collector was not polite.

"That's troublesome, asking for a drink of water."

Azhen went to pour him tea.

Zhang Yaohua returned to his room and opened the two one-meter-high cabinets.In order to hold these books, etc., the family specially asked a carpenter to build it.

It has to be said that the family invested heavily in him. "Are you going to sell it?" At some point, his mother appeared behind Zhang Yaohua.

"Well! If you don't study anymore, what are you still doing? It's a hindrance to the place!"

"Can't they use it for future voyages?" Mom asked.

"The current textbooks have been changed, and they are not of much practical use. However, I will still keep some of them, so it's not a choice!"

After explaining this, my mother stopped obstructing her. What her son said made sense.

The Xinhua Dictionary seems to be of no use anymore. In the past, everyone had one copy!When you see a word you don’t understand, look it up in the dictionary to find out what the word means and how to pronounce it.

Zhang Yaohua even dug out the abacus he bought when he was in elementary school. He can still use it now, but he is not proficient in it.After entering junior high school and high school, I basically used a calculator.

Especially in high school, the school even asked us to pay for special calculators!Other calculators cannot be brought into the exam room, so you will have to buy theirs.

That is also equivalent to making money in disguise.

It's just that when it comes to children's education, parents are relatively tolerant and don't make any fuss.

Zhang Yaohua picked up a notebook, thought about it, and decided to stay.

It is of commemorative significance, as the lyrics above are those he copied when he was a child.I believe many people born in the [-]s and [-]s have done this kind of thing.

In the notebook, the most popular songs are those sung by Zhuo Yiting, then Beyond, and some classic old songs, such as Mao Ning's The Sound of the Waves Still, Ye Qianwen's Blessings, Guangliang's Fairy Tales, Tai Zhengxiao's Thousand Paper Cranes, Ren Xianqi's Heart Is Too Soft, Xiaogang's Dusk and so on.

Full of memories!

Zhang Yaohua moves all those test papers out first, good guy!Just these test papers weigh more than a hundred kilograms.Some of them have been bitten by insects, but it's not a big problem. The waste paper is recycled!Who cares?

As Zhang Yaohua carried out the books, materials, etc. one by one, the big brother who collected the scraps had his eyes shining and a smile on his face.

Today is going to be a fruitful day.

This waste paper alone can fill his three buckets.

He quickly helped, found a snakeskin bag, put the books and other things into the snakeskin bag, weighed it, recorded it in a book, let Zhang Yaohua's family take a look, and moved the weighed items to his three-bouncer if there was no problem. .

Don't underestimate those books, they are still very heavy.

Of the two large cabinets, only one meter-high pile was left. The rest were sold to the big brother who collected scraps, which weighed nearly a terrifying [-] kilograms.

This made Azhen and others stunned. Although they knew that there were two large cabinets of books in the eldest brother's room, they did not expect them to be so heavy.

Even if it’s only [-] cents per pound, that’s still hundreds of dollars!

Only my mother felt a little distressed. How much did the family pay for those books?What a blessing it would be if I hadn't raised my son to be a college student?
"540 six yuan, let's count it as 550! Do you want cash or transfer?" the elder brother asked with a smile.

"Cash!"

In my hometown, it's better to bring some cash, because sometimes you really need it.Like before, you had to ask your parents for red envelopes.

"Okay." The elder brother took out five hundred-dollar bills and a fifty-dollar bill from his pocket.He specially turned out some newer banknotes for Zhang Yaohua.
