Chapter 29 Fighting the Scrap Station Again

Wu Jihou was beaten to Lu Li's most intuitive feeling was that life at home became more difficult. There were two men at home who made money from work and earned more than 100 yuan a month. It was quite a lot at that time. The old man drank every day, and his uncle and his wife smoked every day, and they could deal with it completely, but suddenly there was a large part of it, and all kinds of expenses were reduced. Wu Baokun and his wife had to quit smoking. Although the old man continued to drink alcohol, the amount was also much smaller.

Although Lu Li was small, he was very sensible. When his uncle and aunt quit smoking, they coughed day and night, and heard it in their ears and pain in their hearts. They always thought how good it would be if they could buy them a box of cigarettes to satisfy their cravings? But where to get the money?

Swinging outside until dark, Luli returned to his home, and his aunt and uncle were talking in the yard. Seeing two people standing there, especially his uncle, the child only felt a lit up: There is a way!

The next morning, Luli got up early, packed up his small bed, made a fire, boiled water, washed diapers, and finished all the routine things. He listened to the dark building, his aunt muttered from time to time, and was sleeping soundly. He smiled secretly, pushed the cart, and left the door.

His brain was really smart. He saw his uncle at home. From 1966 to 1968, he was raiding, raiding houses, fighting and seizing power to the greatest extent. The public security, procuratorial and courts, as the state machine, were all defeated and smashed! As a police officer in the police station, he was also dismissed and returned home. Usually, he did not dare to wear dark blue old police uniforms to go out! It can be seen how powerful this violent trend is.

At this time, there should be no problem if you want to get some metal to sell it as waste? There is no police anymore, so who else can catch me? I thought that I could exchange the waste for some money to supplement the household income, Luli was so excited that he didn't sleep well all night!

When he left the city, it was early in the morning in September. Everything he saw was full of weeds that were tall, and the surroundings were desolate. He put the cart on the cart, held the fire chopsticks, fire hooks, and small shovels, squatted down on the spot, and dug it hard. There were many large and small pieces of iron ingots outside the city. Lu Li realized a long time later that many of them were products of the "big steelmaking" period. All villages built earth blast furnaces to refine iron items obtained everywhere. Many children even brought their own fried spoons, locks, and keys!

Who knew that after the refining, all I got was black and completely unformed iron ingots. When this enthusiasm passed, part of them was taken away by the iron factory, and more were discarded at will and left in every corner of the city. All the wires, iron blocks and iron pieces that could be moved were put on the car, and then pushed the cart and headed straight to the scrap recycling station last time.

It was still the short and fat consignee in a blue coat, staring at him for a while, "Where did it come from?"

"Pick up..." Lu Li hated that he was not promising and thought that he would not stutter. The last words were the same, and it was difficult to make a sentence, "Pick up... it came!"

"The picked up? Not the stolen one, right? Is there any proof?"

Lu Li's bright eyes turned and suddenly reminded him of a sentence in the Quotations, "The great leader taught us!" He suddenly stopped stuttering at all at the critical moment, "We should believe in the masses, we should believe in the Party. These are two fundamental principles. If you doubt these two principles, you will be able to do nothing."

The other party looked at him up and down a few times, and seemed to think that it was a very novel thing for such a young child to quote "Quotes", but he did not dare to say anything in such a way. Otherwise, even if he grasped the faults in his words, he might be exaggerated and faced with the fate of being defeated immediately!

Lu Li looked at her strongly for a while, and the woman finally turned her eyes away and weighed the metal products on his car one by one, 50 pounds and 7 taels, and sold them for 8.11 yuan. It was not until the female consignee put the banknotes one by one in his hand that Lu Li was sure that all this was true!

After pinching eight dollars, putting a few cents into the pocket, the child turned around and ran away! He rushed out a few steps, turned back, bowed respectfully to the woman, and then ran out without looking back!

He rushed home with the cart on the board. As soon as his family got up, his aunt was busy with the family's breakfast. When he heard the sound, he cursed, "I'm not crazy enough for you to get up early in the morning! What are you doing again? Where are you going? Where did you go?"

Luli was stunned, no! The guy was forgotten outside the city! He didn't care, and took his aunt's hand and pulled it into the room, "What are you doing, Xiaoxiao! What are you doing?"

After entering the house, Luli opened his hand and said, "Give it..."

"Oh, why are you so much money?" Yu Fang was shocked, "How did you get it? Xiaoxiao! Don't cause trouble! Baochai, Baochai?"

"Bad...product!" Lu Li said proudly with a red face.

"What are you talking about?" Yu Fang couldn't understand either. Her uncle happened to step into the house and handed over the money, "Look, Xiaoxiao took it back."

There was no choice but to say it to my uncle again. Wu Baokun frowned deeply. He guessed a few points, "Xiaoxiao, it was the same as last time, I sold it with scraps, right?"

"Yes!" Luli said loudly, "Uncle...uncle uncle...mom, buy...buy...buy, buy buy buy buy cigarettes!"

Wu Baokun and Yu Fang looked at each other and felt aroused. The child was really sensible!... He didn't know how to deal with this matter. The child picked up waste to sell it. This was not a big deal, but letting a child do such a thing always feel something was wrong. "Okay," he said to his wife, "The money is not a bad thing, so keep it. In the future, Xiaoxiao, can't go?"
