Lu Jiang was busy with work, and someone was looking after the child, so Feng Qingxue, concerned about the scrap she hadn’t yet sorted through at the scrap purchasing station, once again disguised herself in an unattractive manner and rode her bicycle leisurely into the scrapyard.
After turning in the gold bars, Uncle Li had established great merit, and when he saw Feng Qingxue, his attitude was especially enthusiastic, considering her to be a lucky star.
Last time it was twenty yuan, and just yesterday it turned out to be several gold bars, worth a total of eight hundred yuan.
"The textbooks I took back yesterday weren’t enough; the kids were fighting to scribble in them, so I came over today to pick out a few more," Feng Qingxue said to Uncle Li. She hadn’t driven the donkey cart over and couldn’t pick out particularly heavy scrap.
Uncle Li pointed to the pile of waste paper, which had grown even taller than yesterday, and said, "You go find them yourself, today they hauled over several loads."
There’s new stuff?
"Really? I’ll go have a look."
"Go ahead, go ahead, there’s some that have been copied from others, and some from schools, and maybe some from the cultural relics department. The group of students who brought things over were walking tall and proud, but they spoke unclearly, I didn’t ask in detail."
Feng Qingxue’s eyes lit up, she wrapped a square scarf around half her face like a mask and dived headfirst into the pile of waste paper.
Valuable ancient books and paintings are like a drop in the ocean compared to the waste paper pile; if they disappeared, no one would notice. That was the key to Feng Qingxue’s method of fishing in murky waters, and within half an hour, she had collected around seven or eight ancient books and four or five paintings.
Most of the newly added scrap paper consisted of textbooks or other books, with few items of value.
