After searching for almost an hour, Xia Yao only looked through the small pile next to her. If she wanted to look through the books in the entire warehouse, it would not last for ten days and a half. However, she could not stay in Yongning County for a long time. , only by firmly seizing today's opportunity.
Xia Yao sighed deeply, feeling deeply that this matter was not easy. If he had known better, he would not have pushed Lu Jing away. With Lu Jing's help, it might have been faster.
No, no!
Xia Yao shook his head quickly to throw away these distracting thoughts.
Now, the more important thing is to find the receipt. The book only said that the receipt fell out of an old book. Perhaps when the receipt got into Mr. Lu's hands, he casually tucked it into his pocket. In the book I read.
What book would Mr. Lu like to read?
Xia Yao looked around and suddenly slapped his head.
The book once said that the reason why Lu Jing was able to become the richest man in Southern Province on his own was because he grew up next to Mr. Lu and had been exposed to it since he was a child. Of course, he would know more about business and be more interested in it.
Perhaps, this receipt is most likely to be found in books related to business. Besides, if there are any textbooks or short-format books, they would have been picked up long ago. Only boring business books will become Books that no one reads.
Xia Yao felt confident, and as if he had been given a shot of blood, he searched hard inside.
To Xia Yao, the books in this warehouse were as vast as smoke, but Xia Yao relied on his determination to find the receipts today and flipped through all these business-related books.
"Das Kapital..."
When Xia Yao saw this book, he suddenly became enlightened.
In fact...it’s not necessarily about teaching people how to make money when it comes to business!
It's just a book anyway, it doesn't matter if you flip through it.
Xia Yao was heartbroken and opened the book.
"Little girl, hurry up." The man at the door shouted angrily, "It's been almost three hours since you came in! If someone catches you, it won't be easy for us to talk to you!"
"Okay!" Xia Yao shouted quickly, "I'll be out right away!"
As she spoke, she flipped through the book quickly.
There is always a way out!
Xia Yao shook the book, and a receipt actually fell lightly inside.
When Xia Yao saw this receipt, he almost cried.
It’s not easy! not easy!
Xia Yao carefully stuffed the receipt into his arms, picked up a few books and a stack of newspapers, and hurried out.
"I thought you found some treasure in there."
The uncle said angrily, seeing the few books in Xia Yao's hand, he waved his hand again.
"Put these together and charge you three yuan."
"Three yuan?" Xia Yao's eyes widened, "Three yuan for such a small thing?"
"A book costs thirty cents, and there are dozens of newspapers in your stack. It's good to only charge you three yuan!" The uncle's tone became even worse, "Do you want it? Don't knock it down!"
"I want it!" Xia Yao nodded quickly. She was already here, so she had to take the textbook back no matter what.
Although this was just a perfunctory excuse to deal with Lu Jing, she was not willing to miss the opportunity to take the college entrance examination in four years. From now on, she had to study! Strive to get into college and leave here with dignity.
Although his net worth has reached four figures, Xia Yao's heart was still bleeding when he took out the three dollars.
The uncle glanced at Xia Yao, pointed to the warehouse on the left and said, "I won't cheat you. Just pick any small item there and treat it as an extra."
After hearing this, Xia Yao reluctantly cheered up.
It's just that this warehouse is messier than the previous one, with less room to stand.
Xia Yao whispered: "What good things can be in this?"
That being said, she still looked inside carefully.
Even if you can't find those good things, it's the same thing to find some good wood back home. We don't even have a flat table at home now. It would be too conspicuous to make a special one. It's just right to buy it at the scrap collection station!
Thinking of this, Xia Yao cheered up and aimed at the wood.
However, she did see a few baubles - tigers carved from wood. Although they were rough in workmanship, they were more adorable. It was just right to take them back to Lu Changbai and Lu Tiantian.
Xia Yao picked up these wooden tigers casually, and as soon as she got them, she noticed something was wrong.
Logically speaking... wood is not that heavy...
This thought suddenly appeared, and Xia Yao's heart jumped.
She did not check the mystery of these wooden tigers on the spot, but gathered them into a ball, and carefully searched for any fish that had slipped through the net. After this search, three more wooden tigers were found, making a total of six wooden tigers.
Each one was so heavy that Xia Yao's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, but he threw the things on the ground without changing his expression, and then looked at the large pieces of wood in the warehouse.
When Xia Yao came out of the warehouse again, he dragged two pieces of wood with great effort. The two pieces of wood were made of good materials. I don't know which bed board they were removed from, which made Xia Yao cheaper.
The uncle's eyelids twitched: "This can't be used as a pretext."
Xia Yao was very sorry that she didn't get an advantage, but she still nodded: "These two pieces of wood can be used to make a dining table for my family. Please give me a price."
"Three yuan." The uncle waved his hand, "You give me a total of six yuan."
This time Xia Yao agreed readily. She took out six more wooden tigers from her pocket: "Then these are considered as my additions?"
The uncle glanced at it roughly and nodded: "Take it away. If you like such an object, I can keep it for you in the future."
It's not uncommon for Xia Yao to be such a cheerful customer. If she gives him six yuan, he can hold back two yuan and hand over four yuan. After going back and forth, he will inevitably save more coffin books.
The uncle was thinking about it, but Xia Yao had no intention of coming to this scrap collection station again. She smiled and said, "No, it's just this little gadget. If it wasn't for extra, I wouldn't want it."
"But it would be good to take it back and give it to the children to play with."
After hearing Xia Yao's words, the uncle also agreed: "Yes, these things are just for playing. They can't be eaten or used. It's not worth spending money to buy them."
Saying goodbye to the uncle, Xia Yao laboriously held two pieces of wood and two bags of books and moved step by step into the alley.
He didn't know when Lu Jing would come over, but whenever he thought of Lu Jing's expression when he saw this receipt, Xia Yao's eyes were filled with a sly smile.
Lu Jing, who was being talked about by Xia Yao, was currently in a small courtyard.
"When the old man did these things, we didn't know much about it." An old man with gray hair on his temples and a weathered face sighed deeply, "Master, I'm afraid I can't help you."
"It's a new era." Lu Jing corrected his title, "Uncle Rong, just call me by my nickname."
Rong Bo came back to his senses, realized his mistake, and said angrily: "I'm old, I don't remember much anymore!"
He patted his head and tried hard to recall what happened more than twenty years ago, but he was old, and things so long ago could not resurface in his memory.
Seeing that he was getting anxious, Lu Jing spoke: "Uncle Rong, this cannot be figured out overnight. You can think about it slowly."
"No!" Uncle Rong became anxious when he heard this, "If it weren't for the old man, I would have turned into a handful of loess decades ago. I couldn't help him at the beginning, but now that there is something I can do to help, I must help!"
"Wait for me..." Uncle Rong was so anxious that he searched his mind carefully. Suddenly, he patted his head and his eyes lit up.
"I remember that when we sent the things over, they gave us a receipt and said we could use that receipt to ask for money from them."
"Your grandpa has the receipt!"
Before Lu Jing could say anything, he became excited again: "When those people ransacked the house, they didn't even pay attention to this receipt. It was just a thin piece of paper. He often put it in the book you like to read."
"Xiao Jing, if we can find this receipt, then the old man's grievances will be cleared! If the Tian family and the Lin family hadn't joined forces to deceive us, we wouldn't have been labeled as reactionaries! They must have found everything they could The evidence has been destroyed, but as long as you can find this receipt! We can..."
"Uncle Rong, don't worry." Lu Jingding nodded, "I will definitely find this receipt."
Even so, Lu Jing knew in his heart that when the Lu family was confiscated, all those things were scattered everywhere. Finding a receipt in a book was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
It can be seen that Uncle Rong was so excited, and he couldn't bear to dampen the old man's interest.
"Uncle Rong, I'll come see you another day." Lu Jing glanced at the sky, "I still have to go back. If I go back too late, people will inevitably be suspicious."
"Okay, okay!" Uncle Rong nodded immediately.
But before Lu Jing left, he couldn't help but tell him: "Xiao Jing, if you really can't survive in the Qingshui Brigade, come to me. I'm a poor peasant, and I'm a persecuted person in their eyes. They don't How dare you do anything to me."
"Okay." Lu Jing agreed immediately in order to reassure Uncle Rong.
He left the small courtyard, feeling suddenly heavy.
However, the heaviness in his heart was only temporary. He quickly cheered up and walked quickly towards the scrap collection station.
Xia Yao said that he was looking for textbooks at the scrap collection station. He might also be able to look for any old books that had been leaked from the Lu family.
There are still more than ten meters to go to the scrap collection station, but in the alley on the left, Xia Yao is shouting to him in a low voice: "Here it is! Lu Jing!"
Seeing Xia Yao, Lu Jing stopped.
Xia Yao, feeling guilty as a thief, quickly pulled him into the alley.
"Guess what I found in the scrap collection station?" Xia Yao winked at Lu Jing, not hiding his pride.
While she was talking, Lu Jing saw a lot of things behind her, especially the two pieces of wood that were as tall as a person.
"You can't just take something so conspicuous back home."
"Who told you this!" Xia Yao said angrily, "Do you remember what I told you? As long as we find the key evidence, we can overturn grandpa's case!"
Hearing Xia Yao's words, Lu Jing's heart suddenly beat violently.
