Reborn 1980, I amaze the world by picking up scraps

It is too painful to look back on the past, and I will shed tears if I talk about it too much.

Shumei still remembers the situation at that time. She thought she had got a canvas schoolbag, but instead she saw a jar of broken tiles. Her hopes turned into bubbles and burst into pieces. The disappointment and heartache were hard to express in words.

Like crazy, she took the jar full of tiles to question her mother. Only her mother knew where this thing was hidden, so there was only one possibility. It was her mother who took the money from the tin jar and used it to The tiles were replaced.

"Mom, didn't you say that as long as I fill up this jar, you would let me buy a schoolbag and pencil case? Where did you do the money?"

Shumei is a sensible child. She knows that her family is a big burden and her mother is not in good health, so she never makes any demands.

But the money in the tin jar was given to her by her mother on her own initiative. Since she agreed, why did she go back on her word?

If my mother had not made the promise, Shumei would not have been like a silly donkey, weaving mats no matter the weather came or went.

Facing Shumei's question, my mother was not embarrassed, but frowned, "Do you think our family can afford a canvas schoolbag? My illness is a bottomless pit, and it's all me who has dragged you down... …”

At this point, Shumei cried, and her tears flowed silently, soaking half of the pillowcloth in an instant.

The fourth aunt was saddened by her sister's words, and she also cried. This was all because of poverty. She hurriedly found a dry towel and handed it to Shumei to wipe her tears, "My mother did this wrong."

Poverty is no reason to go back on your word.

Shumei wiped her tears and said, "It's okay. Anyway, I didn't go to school after that."

Poor people must be hateful. My fourth aunt is a filial daughter, but she has to say that her mother was wrong in this matter.

"Shumei, don't be discouraged. I'm not trying to make excuses for my mother. Things will get better eventually. You still have to study. This time, your school bag, pencil case, and tuition fees will all be covered by my sister." The fourth aunt touched her sister's withered skin. hair, comforting her softly.

They are all girls who grew up in the village. My mother-in-law’s favorite thing to say is just to get through it. This is how generations of people have gotten through it.

My fourth aunt used to think so too. Life was filled with despair and helplessness with no end in sight. All we could do was suffer, endure, and live our lives slowly.

But since Yuanni pulled them to make money together, the fourth aunt has seen full of hope. It turns out that life does not need to be endured or tolerated. As long as you work hard, you can get things that you never dared to think about before.

She didn't want to talk too much about the truth. The truth was overwhelming, so she might as well do something practical and let Shumei slowly understand it. She would know it in the future.

Shumei nodded, and the two sisters held hands together.

The Chen family are all tolerant people. After getting the secret things back, they treated it as a matter of course and didn't mention it to outsiders.

On the contrary, the old captain and his family were very concerned.

One day, the fourth uncle got up early and went out. He suddenly found Chen Dayong cleaning the alley, which shocked him. "Dayong, are you able to work now? Why don't you rest for a few more days?"

"I'm not tired from sweeping the floor. The doctor told me to move more. He said that my blood vessels would be smooth and I would recover faster."

Seeing Chen Dayong's insistence, the fourth uncle had no choice but to say, "Then take it easy and sit in my shop after you finish sweeping."

Chen Dayong actually went. His grandfather asked him to sit at the Little Man Bookstore next door, but he refused to go. "We are all children. What if I get sick?"

Grandpa couldn't persuade him, so he boiled a pot of hot water to make tea, brought it to Chen Dayong, and asked him to sit down and drink slowly.

The fourth uncle was repairing tires for customers while chatting with Chen Dayong wordlessly. According to Chen Dayong, he was going to open his stall next week.

"I came here today because I really have something to ask you." Chen Dayong touched the hot tea cup and smiled shyly.

"Why are you being so solemn? If you need anything, just tell me. If you can help me, I will definitely help."

"You have a large family. Do you have any old leather shoes or boots that are worn out? Let me take them home and mend them."

It turned out to be this busy.

The stall that Chen Dayong wants to set up is a shoe stall. Ordinary shoes can be glued to the soles, etc. It is not very technical. What Chen Dayong is most worried about is leather shoes and boots.

According to Chen Dayong, he has had the tools to repair shoes for a while, and he practices at home every day. "But I still feel unsure. Leather shoes and boots are expensive. I'm afraid that if I repair them for others, I won't be able to make money and I'll be in trouble." "

The fourth uncle smiled and said, "Why do you have such thoughts? I have leather shoes at home. I will get them for you when I go home. Then I will see if other people have shoes that need to be repaired. You can take them back together and practice your skills."

After drinking tea, Chen Dayong left.

When the fourth uncle told everyone about this, everyone was very supportive.

People like Chen Dayong are the way to live their lives. Money does not come in strong winds. Only when you work hard will money be willing to come in.

Chen Dayong was very diligent. The next day, he sent back all the repaired leather shoes.

Each pair of shoes was repaired and smoothed, the soles were re-glued, and shoe polish was applied.

At first, Chen Dayong was worried about the patient's refusal to come in. He stood at the door of the yard and refused to go in despite saying anything. It was his fourth uncle who forcibly dragged him into the house.

"What are you doing? Look at how the shoes are being repaired and just give me some advice." Chen Dayong was very embarrassed.

"Okay, put your shoes down and take a look. You come in first and sit down. Let's have a meal together at noon."

"No, I won't eat at your house."

Chen Dayong and He Guizhi have completely different personalities. If He Guizhi can fool him, he will try his best to fool him, and he will try his best to get the advantage he can.

Chen Dayong is very self-conscious. Since he got sick, he has rarely visited other people's homes to avoid being tabooed by others.

Yuan Nier's family are all good people who are willing to help him. The more this happens, the less he can do it.

Chen Dayong said that he would not come into the house as a guest, so everyone had to look at the leather shoes on the spot. Not to mention, the uppers were smooth, the stitching was neat, and the craftsmanship was really good.

"Dayong, you have nothing to say about your skills. You are ready to start training." Grandma commented.

"Really?"

"real."

The next day, Chen Dayong officially set up his stall. The location where he set up his stall was exactly where his fourth uncle first repaired bicycles.

The mobile stalls in this area are all managed by the neighborhood committee where Mrs. Ding belongs. The reason why she chose this place is because she has many acquaintances and is easy to take care of.

Many people know about Chen Dayong and know that he is the lucky one who received a free kidney transplant. In order to support Chen Dayong, everyone specially found out old shoes and sent them to his stall for repair.

For a time, Chen Dayong's shoe stall was booming, and there were even signs of queues.

Yuan Ni pulled Shumei and was sitting in the Little Man Bookstore watching the excitement when she saw Section Chief Dai coming over panting, "Comrade Xiao Yuan, how can you still sit still?"

"What happened?"

"Comrade Xiao Yuan, please be more careful. In the business between you and Comrade Jack, someone wants to pick peaches..." Section Chief Dai was very anxious. On a cold day, he was sweating on his forehead.
