After coming out of the county hospital, Zhou Yang helped Li Youwei into the car, and then said to Liu Yunlong, who was acting as a temporary driver: "Turn right, let's go to Xinhua Bookstore!"
"okay!"
After the car started, Li Youwei asked curiously: "Why should we go to Xinhua Bookstore? Buy books?"
"Well, I plan to get some teaching materials and review materials for the educated youths in the village!" Zhou Yang said.
Zhou Yang was quite clear about the situation of the educated youth in the village. They basically only brought some luggage and belongings with them when they came. Some who like to read might bring one or two classics, but absolutely no one would bring something they had already studied all the way. Here are the textbooks I have passed.
Therefore, Zhou Yang plans to go to the county town to give them some teaching materials to facilitate their preparation for next year's college entrance examination.
Li Youwei also understood what Zhou Yang meant, and immediately said: "Let's not go to Xinhua Bookstore, I know where to get textbooks!"
"Oh, where?"
Li Youwei looked at the street outside the car window, and then said: "Let's continue walking west and turn north at the next intersection!"
Zhou Yang knew that the locals were accustomed to talking about southeast, northwest, instead of left and right, so he said to Liu Yunlong: "Turn right at the next intersection!"
"okay!"
Soon, the jeep followed Li Youwei's instructions and turned into a not-so-wide street.
"Keep going north, I'll call you when we're almost there!"
"OK!"
The car drove forward for about seven or eight minutes. After passing a school, Li Youwei pointed to a dilapidated courtyard on the roadside and said, "Turn in!".
After Liu Yunlong turned the car into the compound, Zhou Yang discovered that it looked like a scrapyard.
After finding a random spot to park the car, the three of them got out of the car.
After getting off the car, Li Youwei said immediately: "There should be all kinds of teaching materials needed for middle and high schools here, and the price is cheap!"
"You still know such a secret place?" Zhou Yang said with some surprise.
"Haha, the school I just passed by is where I went to high school. Every year, many graduates sell their books here when they graduate!" Li Youwei said with a smile.
"So that's it, let's go in and have a look!"
At this time, an old couple who were busy in the yard also saw the jeep that suddenly broke in, and immediately came over to greet it!
"Comrade, who are you looking for?" the old man asked politely!
Those who can afford to drive a car these days are all cadres, and it is unlikely that they are here to sell scrap products.
"Uncle, do you have any old books here? We want to buy some!" Zhou Yang said immediately.
"Old books?"
"Well, it's the kind of textbook used in schools, both middle and high schools!" Zhou Yang said.
"have!"
Then the old man pointed to a simple shed built with wooden planks and firewood next to him, and said: "It's full of old books and newspapers. You can pick out what you want!"
"Uncle, how do you sell your old books?" Zhou Yang asked again.
"We charge 3 cents per pound. If you buy it, give us 5 cents!"
The old man was also an honest man and told Zhou Yang clearly that he only earned him two cents per pound.
"OK!"
Zhou Yang was not polite. He immediately took Li Youwei and Liu Yunlong to the simple shed over there.
When he arrived at the place, he looked around first, and finally saw a relatively complete chair next to the pile of rotten wood in the corner.
Immediately he moved the chair over, simply put a piece of cardboard on it, and asked Li Youwei to sit down and wait.
And he and Liu Yunlong walked directly to the shed and flipped through these old books, newspapers and scraps of paper.
This simple shed is very large, filled with all kinds of old books and newspapers, as well as a large number of waste paper boxes.
Maybe it was because the shed had leaked from the rain, and there was a musty smell as soon as I walked in.
Zhou Yang didn't care, found a suitable position, squatted down, and then started to writhe.
Soon, Zhou Yang found a Chinese textbook for the third grade of junior high school.
After flipping through it, I found that although the writing and drawings were not very clean, there were no missing chapters or pages, so I immediately put the book aside.
Liu Yunlong on the side also followed Zhou Yang's instructions and started searching.
Because the old man's place is close to the school, there are more teaching materials. And because many students these days don't like studying very much, many of the teaching materials are still new.
In addition, Zhou Yang also saw a lot of old books inside, including classics and social science works, all printed more than ten or twenty years ago.
Although it seems useless and worthless now, it will have certain collection value decades later.
When he comes across such books, Zhou Yang will keep them all!
After all, after a certain period of time, old books like these are taken back to the paper mill and re-pulped to make paper.
It's a very good book, but it's such a shame!
Shopping for things in scrap stalls is a manual job and requires a certain amount of patience.
They spent more than two hours and finally gathered together more than a dozen sets of middle and high school textbooks.
In addition, Zhou Yang also found 70 or 80 old books and classics from it. The total number of books in the pile was more than two to three hundred.
The harvest is really not small. Although there are no valuable ancient books, I always feel happy when I read so many books.
This may be a common problem among readers. Whether they read it or not, they just feel happy when the book is there.
More importantly, Zhou Yang believes that having this batch of books will definitely help the educated youth prepare for the exam!
If this group of educated youths perform exceptionally well next year and all get admitted to college, it will be a great story!
At that moment, Zhou Yang and Liu Yunlong moved all the books they had picked out, and then asked the old man to weigh them.
The old man thought they were just looking for a few books, but he didn't expect that they picked out so many books. He was surprised and happy at the same time.
The weight of the books is not light. With so many books, they may weigh one hundred, fifty or sixty kilograms.
Even if you only earn two cents per pound, these books add up to a profit of at least two or three yuan, which is a lot of income.
What's more important is that these days scrap stations are all collective in nature. The old man and the old lady are just responsible for looking after this small stall. This is not their industry.
Normally, they would quietly keep the income from other people looking for things themselves. After all, there was no way to track down the old books and newspapers that were missing dozens of kilograms in various places.
After weighing, the total was 166 kilograms, with a total price of eight yuan and 30 cents.
After settling the bill, Zhou Yang asked Liu Yunlong to drive over and load all the books into the car.
Then, Zhou Yang walked towards Li Youwei and prepared to help her get into the car.
But when he helped Li Youwei get up and get into the car, he suddenly saw that the broken chair she had just sat on seemed unusual.
If you look closely, you will see that the material of this thing actually looks a bit like huanghuali wood.
Looking at the style again, although it is incomplete, it can be vaguely seen that it is an official hat chair.
The official hat chair made of huanghuali wood is worth a fortune.
Although it's a pity that it's quite damaged, it's still worth a lot of money after repairing it.
Zhou Yang decided to take the chair back at that time, otherwise, such a priceless treasure would probably become fire wood.
Then, he immediately shouted to the old man not far away: "Master, I need a place to sit at home. Can you give me this chair?"
The old man is also a cheerful person. He was in a good mood after just making a big fortune. He immediately said with a smile: "It's a broken chair. If you like it, take it!"
"Thank you, uncle!"
Zhou Yang immediately put the chair on the passenger seat, and he came to the back and sat down next to Li Youwei.
Liu Yunlong started the car and slowly drove out of the scrapyard.
When the car passed by the old man, Zhou Yang opened the car window and handed the old man two kilograms of face notes in exchange for his chair!
After doing this, Zhou Yang asked Liu Yunlong to drive the car and leave the scrap station with Li Youwei's doubtful eyes!
