Chapter 22

"My side is the waste collection point. If you want to find books, you have to go to the recycle bin. If you have any, it's over there -"

The old man in a cap raised his head impatiently and neatly tied the paper together. Zheng Jianguo glanced at the earthen pots piled next to him and threw them in the corner of the wall. I don't know how long it took. At the moment of spring, when the flowers were blooming, some green appeared between the pots, and he knew he was coming at this time, It's disturbing people's lunch break: "is it the recycle bin over there in the East freight yard?"

"Yes, there is a gate in the south of the freight yard. I said what do you do with the books at that time? Even if you did, you would have sent them back to the paper mill to turn waste into treasure. Now you use the books at that time again?"

The old man shook his head, bent down and went into the shed built with a Raincloth. He left Zheng Jianguo and stood in the yard to answer no or no. fortunately, he put it out when he came. He immediately said, "thank you, uncle. I'd better go to the recycle bin and don't bother you."

"This boy is not like a good man. He's sneaky and uncle. Who doesn't match up with comrades at the moment?"

Under the half empty sun and the unseen rain, the old man appeared next to the scooter with a wine bottle. Looking at the far away Zheng Jianguo, he unscrewed the cover of the wine bottle, put it into his mouth and took a sip. His smooth black face immediately wrinkled into a steamed stuffed bun. Then he loosened his mouth, made a chirp, screwed the cover of the wine bottle and put it at his feet, He picked up a bundle of messy newspapers from the scooter and put them on the ground. After opening them, he pinched a broken kraft paper from inside. His eyes were slightly bright: "well, I'm afraid he didn't come to find the secret paper under the banner of looking for books?"

Zheng Jianguo didn't know that he had attracted people's attention. The transportation in Shanxian County was relatively developed. He had his own railway station due to coal reserves as early as before the founding of the people's Republic of China. The freight station mentioned by the old man refers to the railway station. The straight-line distance is less than two kilometers, and it takes less than 20 minutes to walk. He has been out for a long time now. If he goes directly, he's afraid he'll be late.

After thinking about it, Zheng Jianguo still chose to go back to school. One is that he didn't bring any money with him. The other is that he now has an algebra in his hand. It's not so urgent for other textbooks. However, when he arrived at the waste recycling bin next to the goods Depot in the afternoon under the setting sun, I found that others had been waiting for me: "are you the young man who went to Lao Zheng's head to look for books at noon?"

He Dali, who asked questions, walked towards the door. He was one meter seven or eight tall and matched with his thick eyebrows and big eyes. He still had a strong sense of oppression against Zheng Jianguo. At the moment, he looked at him with a dull face and continued to say, "what are you looking for is the" book "of more than ten years ago?"

"Er, this big brother."

Inexplicably felt the hostility of the other party. Although Zheng Jianguo didn't know where there was a problem, he also knew that he should show his identity now: "I'm from class 5, grade 2, Chengguan middle school. I went to the waste recycling bin to find books to increase my knowledge -"

"Are you a high school student?"

He Dali, who had reached the door, frowned. He was trying to hold this guy down. His eyes carefully looked at Zheng Jianguo's appearance. The patches on his clothes and trousers could not be fake, and his accent didn't look foreign, so he poked out his rough fingers and said, "open the schoolbag and let me have a look."

He was regarded as a saboteur by others. Before Zheng Jianguo knew where he had caused a misunderstanding, he took out all the books in his schoolbag, pointed to the first volume of algebra in the series on the ground and said, "I'm looking for this set of books and other textbooks. You see, this is the first volume of algebra, and there should be two more. Oh, that's my student card -"

"Really a student?"

Holding the photo on the little book in his hand, he Dali looked at the person and the certificate, and felt that what the boy said was afraid to be true. Then he put the student card in his schoolbag, picked up the pointed book, turned it over and put it back to him. A smile appeared on his thick eyebrow and big eye Chinese character face: "you child, remember to shout comrades in the future, especially old comrades and strange comrades, Don't open your mouth and you'll lose your aunt. I don't know it's called nothing to be courteous, either rape or theft? Ah, I'll pay attention later. Lao zhengtou sent a message to pay attention to the enemy's destruction before leaving work. I thought it was time to make meritorious service -- "

"Well, I'm sorry --"

Zheng Jianguo gulped down his saliva. He was completely speechless, but what others said was also right. When strangers met this year, the first sentence they said was Hello, old comrades, gay men and lesbians. In my memory, uncle, aunt, aunt, sister and brother of Zhang Kou will not appear for decades. Let alone this depression, I quickly packed the books into my bag, Looking up at the comrades standing nearby who wanted to make contributions, he said, "well, comrade, do you know where to find this kind of book published more than ten years ago?"

"A book published more than ten years ago?"

He Dali, who was a little discouraged, suddenly came to the spirit. The books more than ten years ago are all the scope of feudal legacy. The boy wanted to find the books at that time. He thought so and blinked: "how can I remember so clearly for such a long time? Well, show me what you have in your hand and let me see if I can remember --"

Zheng Jianguo quickly took out algebra and physics and handed them to he Dali. When he saw him open, he pointed to the line in front and said, "these words are also in front of other books. The" self-study series of mathematics and chemistry "should be the discipline of chemistry, geometry and physics. I bought it at the original price --"

"Buy at the original price?"

Looking at the book, it was either a formula or an explanation. The words and numbers in the book could be recognized at the beginning. When the later symbols appeared, they threw the idea of meritorious service aside. Just earlier, they said they wanted to help, but they were embarrassed to plug it back and said it was useless. They held the book and thought with a sad face. Finally, they shook their head and said, "no, no, but I can help you pay attention, If so, how about I keep it for you? "

"That's great!"

Zheng Jianguo didn't expect to hear such a news. He was immediately overjoyed and said, "well, please, comrade. Otherwise, I'll leave you a deposit. Oh, I only have twenty-six cents on me. This is even a deposit. If you help me find it, I'm willing to buy it at the original price -"

"Okay, okay, no problem -"

He Dali suddenly came to the spirit. The price of waste paper at the moment was 2.5% a kilogram. Although the price of a book like a book was slightly higher, it was only 2.7% a kilogram. He opened the third volume of physics in his hand and looked at it. The price of 98% immediately made him swallow his saliva: "why don't I give you a note?"

"No, I'll wait for your good news."

Zheng Jianguo waved his schoolbag across his body. He Dali, holding 20 cents, flashed a curious look in his eyes. He could see that this guy was not like a child in the city: "I'm he Dali, the guard of the waste recycling bin. This book has been around for more than ten years and can only be found -"

"Brother he, I'm not worried about these books. It's good to find them. It's nothing if I can't find them. I'll thank you first."

Zheng Jianguo pinched his schoolbag and said politely that it is good that he Dali can help. If he can't help, he can only listen to fate. Finding a book is the limit of what he can do now. If he deliberately looks for this set of books, he may have to be remembered by the end of the year.

The misunderstanding was solved and he paid a deposit to entrust he Dali to find the book. Zheng Jianguo talked to him and left. At this time, the sun had set in the West and was about to set, but the flow of people on both sides of the street showed no sign of decreasing. He glanced at the distant railway station and the department store next to him. He didn't have to go there to know that there was still a post office of the hotel agricultural machinery factory, The tall buildings in my mind are still low two-story buildings. The highest Shanxian department store can only see a signal tower on the roof.

"Eh, Zheng Jianguo, what are you doing here?"

In a trance, a familiar voice came. Kou Yang tilted his head and appeared in front of him curiously. Zheng Jianguo's eyes fell on her melon seed face and said with a smile: "Kou Yang, how did you come here?"

"My home is in the compound of the material company in front. I think you ran away after school. Your home seems to be in the west of the city?"

Kou Yang said, looking at the setting sun in the west, I don't know what he thought, and then said, "do you think if you propose, will the school approve it? Or will the leaders above approve it? "

"I think nine times out of ten it will be approved."

Zheng Jianguo didn't expect that she was still thinking about being a typical person. As soon as her eyes turned, she realized that her sister was originally a strong woman. She didn't even pay attention to the prick Wu Bin in the class. Now she had such a chance to show off. She watched and slipped away. I'm afraid she wouldn't give up. If she was preempted by others, I don't know how she would think of herself, He opened his mouth and said, "last month, there was an instruction. I don't know whether you read it or not. It said that you should learn the documents well and grasp the outline. Now if someone proposes to go to the mountains and the countryside in advance, I think there is a great chance of success."

Kou Yang frowned slightly and said, "but there are also documents requiring graduates -"

"Aren't you a graduate?"

Zheng Jianguo smiled, then remembered his yellow teeth, quickly closed his mouth and said, "the third batch of junior high school students are even educated young people. We have studied in high school for a year and a half. How can we be higher than them?"

Kou Yang pinched the schoolbag tie on his chest and opened his mouth with blinking eyes: "what you said this morning seems to disagree with our proposal?"

"I don't agree with your proposal."

Zheng Jianguo hesitated a little and still said his real thoughts. However, with the export of this sentence, Kou Yang's face changed slightly. His fingers gripping the schoolbag were white: "why?"
