If it can't be repaired, she also has an excuse. At that time, she will say that's what grandpa taught.
It's perfect.
After Li Jianshe successfully eliminated the idea of buying a watch, the next question came again. How can I collect the broken watch?
You can't tell people on the street that they want to take away their old watches.
It is estimated that others will treat their father and daughter as fools when they see them.
Father and daughter stared at the door of the department store for a while. Li Miaomiao finally remembered that there were unusable watches there.
Li Jianshe said excitedly, "where is it?"
"There should be a waste station."
As soon as Li Jianshe heard about the waste station, she resolutely asked someone for the way and took Li Miaomiao straight to the waste station. Li Miaomiao dragged his tired legs and wondered why Li Jianshe was so obsessed with watches.
Mingming watch is a thing that few people in future generations are willing to bring. Everyone has a mobile phone. Who still wears a watch? It's also a good decoration. Few people use it to see the time.
Li Jianshe didn't live in later generations. Anyway, he just wants a watch now. In ancient times, he was obsessed with calligraphy, painting and calligraphy. It's not easy to have an obsession here. He must buy it.
Or he won't sleep at night.
The waste station is far away. When Li Jianshe and Li Miaomiao arrived, the old man of the waste station went for lunch. Father and daughter waited at the door of the waste station for half a day.
He explained to the old man that they wanted to recycle old watches. The old man was stunned. "What are you doing recycling that thing? It's broken and can't be used."
"It can't be used. Well, we just want what can't be used." what can be used must be very expensive. It's too expensive for Li Jianshe to afford.
The old man looked at Li Jianshe with the eyes of your brain. He opened the door of the waste station and pointed to a corner inside. "All the watches are there. If you want, go find them yourself."
The waste station is not a general mess. Except for all kinds of old books, there are all kinds of tables and chairs, broken radios, pots and pans mixed together.
If it weren't for the big words of the waste recycling bin written outside, Li Miaomiao would suspect that it was a garbage bin.
Li Jianshe turned the book for a long time in the direction of the old man, and then found two old watches from the bottom. Li Jianshe picked one that looked relatively new.
Seeing the lady's watch in her father's hand, Li Miaomiao drew a corner of his mouth and said, "Dad, you choose the old one. The chain is not long enough. Even if it is repaired, you can't wear it."
Seeing that Li Jianshe didn't believe it, Li Miaomiao put it on him and made a gesture.
Don't say, Li Jianshe really can't wear it.
Try the old one again and put it in all at once. Li Jianshe can't but choose the old one. When Li Jianshe goes to ask the boss about the price, Li Miaomiao takes out several books and asks her father to pay.
Outside, Li Jianshe is still breaking with the boss of the waste station, "Sir, can't you make your old watch cheaper? Five yuan is too expensive."
If it were cheaper, Li Jianshe would win it.
"That's the price. If you think it's expensive, go to the department store and buy a new one."
"Uncle, I'm a countryman. How can I have money to buy new ones? Just look at what I wear. Give me less. You can make some money if you give me less. If you have a lot, you can't make a penny."
Li Jianshe talked to the old man for a long time. The old man still didn't let go, but Li Miaomiao didn't charge him for the books he chose.
Li Jianshe: "
It's been a long time.
Knowing that it's no use grinding, Li Jianshe had to give the money obediently. Li Miaomiao politely thanked the old man.
Repairing watches requires tools. Li Jianshe doesn't forget to repair watches on credit with the old man. Considering that he only has the fare to go back, Li Jianshe discusses with the old man and he will send him the money next time.
The old man said suspiciously, "how can I believe you?"
Li Jianshe directly took out the letter of introduction opened by Xu Guangyuan to him, "if you are afraid that I won't give you money, you can go to our brigade to find me. I will never default."
Li Miaomiao had an idea, "Dad, or you can write a guarantee for the old man."
It's not impossible for Li Jianshe to think about it. She borrowed paper and pen from the old man and asked Li Miaomiao to write a guarantee here. Li Miaomiao also told the old man that if she was afraid that Li Jianshe would run away, she would go to the police.
Li Jianshe's eyes are wide. Is this what his daughter said?
The old man was amused by Li Miaomiao's solemnity. "That's not true. All right, I believe your father and daughter!"
"Thank you, sir. According to what we said, take this guarantee first. My father will send you the money in a few days, won't he?"
Li Jianshe nodded, "yes."
Because he was thinking about what his daughter said. After standing out from the waste products, Li Jianshe told Li Miaomiao, "daughter, you miss your father so much that I was arrested by the public security."
Li Miaomiao quickly waved his hand, "Dad, you misunderstood me. Didn't I just say it because the old man didn't believe you? You see, when I told him to report the case, the old man immediately agreed to give you credit."
Sure enough, it's better to move out of the public security.
Although this is the meaning, Li Jianshe always feels that he has been fooled.
The money was spent by Li Jianshe. The father and daughter didn't even have money to take the bus. They had to walk to the station step by step. Thanks to some biscuits and rice sticks, they would have been hungry by now.
At the station, Li Jianshe also borrowed water from others. Previously, she ate too many biscuits and her father and daughter almost died of thirst. At present, she is worried about the problem of losing face.
After returning to the commune, the father and daughter walked back from the commune. Anyway, Li Miaomiao's legs were going to break on this day.
Guan Chunyan didn't go down to the ground this afternoon and stayed at home. As soon as their father and daughter came back, Li Miaomiao and Guan Chunyan complained about the fact that Li Jianshe had spent all her money.
"Mom, you don't know. Dad has taken me a long way. My legs are going to break. Look at my feet. They are grinding and blistering."
This distressed Guan Chunyan, "what did you take Miaomiao to do? Go so far?"
"I didn't do anything. I went to buy cloth, food and a waste station. I also bought an old watch. My daughter said she would repair it and asked her to repair it for me..." Li Jianshe said endlessly.
Although today is very tired, Li Jianshe doesn't feel tired or even full of spirit at the thought of having a watch right away.
