"Peach said you want to collect recyclables?"

Smelling the rich aroma of the food in the air, Liang Yili didn't bother to wipe the water off her hands. She casually shook them a couple of times, picked up her chopsticks, and stuffed a few cowpeas into her mouth.

He shoveled two mouthfuls of rice into his mouth, and before he could even swallow the first bite, he reached for the second.

Seeing this, Liang Ruotao quickly scooped a spoonful of soup and handed it to Liang Yili.

After a few bites, Liang Yili slowed down, casually wiped her mouth, and looked up at Hua Yuansheng:

"Yes! I heard that no one has been collecting recyclables in Aojiaping for the past few months. I saw a lot of recyclables piled up in their yard."

Since my car was empty on the way back, I thought I'd collect some recyclables while I was at it.

Through these business dealings, Huayuansheng gained a deep understanding of Liang Yili's keen insight.

He also realized that both of his children were smart kids.

He's slow-witted and doesn't know how to be flexible, so he should listen more to the children's ideas.

Liang Yili took a notebook out of her pocket and placed it on the table:

"I just went to the scrap yard to ask about prices, here they are!"

Seeing Hua Yuansheng curiously glancing at the notebook, Liang Ruotao carefully picked it up and softly read aloud:

"Plastics are 25 cents, waste paper is 20 cents, old cardboard is 14 cents, scrap iron... everything is recycled for half price."

"right,"

"All waste needs to be sorted and carefully identified to avoid mixing different types;

Aluminum wires need to be peeled back to be inspected, as they are easily adulterated.

"Plastic bottles need to have their caps unscrewed, the water poured out, and then they should be crushed to save space..."

While eating, Hua Yuansheng listened attentively to the precautions Liang Ruotao read out.

After the two of them had both read it, Liang Yili said:

"This was a reminder from the owner of the scrap yard, who noticed I had never collected scrap before."

Let's take a closer look today and remember all of this.

When you go to collect the recyclables tomorrow, just be careful to avoid the pits above.

Hua Yuansheng nodded, but suddenly asked, "You'll need to pay in advance to collect the scrap tomorrow, right? You've used all your money to buy the scrap, so why don't you take it from me first?"

Knowing that the two children were unwilling to use his money, Hua Yuansheng added:

"I'm just using it in advance. You can return it to me after you sell the scrap."

Liang Yili has already thought about this issue.

"I still have 48.5 yuan left from the last purchase. I made some money selling lobsters and ring toss last night. With tonight's purchase, it should be enough."

This is my first time collecting recyclables, and I don't plan to put too much money into it upfront.

Logically speaking, the scrap metal collection business is quite profitable, so it's unreasonable that no one goes down to collect scrap metal for several months.

Liang Yili suspects that the recent market conditions are not very good.

To avoid getting hurt, she decided to test the waters first.

Once you have a clear understanding of which scrap materials are more sought after and more valuable, then decide on your next steps.

梁若桃直接报账:“之前剩的48块5,昨晚龙虾收益19块,套圈36,合计103块5。”

After saying that, Liang Ruotao turned to Liang Yili and said, "Tomorrow we will prioritize collecting the cheapest scrap and collect less scrap metal."

I'll take it to the scrap yard tonight to check on it. If it's in good condition, I can make a special trip there later.

Should we take the cheaper one first?

That 100 yuan is definitely enough to buy a lot of things.

Seeing this, Hua Yuansheng finally felt relieved.

Liang Yili suddenly thought of something.

They lived at their maternal grandfather's house, ate his food and used his things, and even made him busy with them every day, but he never paid a penny of rent or wages.

He's even stingier than Zhou Bapi!

But she also knew that now was not the time.

Even if you offer money to your grandfather, he won't accept it.

Wait a few more days, it will be fine.

……

The sky was dotted with stars, and a gentle breeze rustled through the crops in the fields.

Moonlight filtered through the sparse trees and shone on the window.

Liang Ruotao wiped the water off her head with a towel as she walked into the room.

She walks lightly, making almost no sound.

Just as she reached the door, she called out, "Pear? I'm done washing it!"

Liang Yili, who was hunched over the table, struggling to write with her left hand, was startled by the voice so close to her.

He swallowed nervously, forgetting all about the last sentence he hadn't finished writing, and quickly put down his pen.

He quickly folded the letter and hid it on his person.

He replied, "Okay! Coming right away!"

Seeing Liang Yili's flustered expression, Liang Ruotao glanced at the pen that had fallen under the table and assumed that Liang Yili was secretly studying again.

She frowned and said, "It's so late, don't read anymore, it's bad for your eyes. You have to get up early tomorrow, go take a shower."

Hearing this, Liang Yili breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, I'll go wash now."

As he turned around, out of Liang Ruotao's sight, he took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

Why does her sister walk like a cat, without making a sound?

so close!

……

"Here she comes! The little girl selling towels is here!"

The next day, as soon as the oxcart entered Aojiaping, before it even reached the shade of the trees where the stall had been set up the day before, women who had been eagerly waiting for it called out loudly from afar.

Hua Yuansheng paused in his driving, clearly startled by the dark mass of heads.

Liang Yili had expected business to be decent today, but she never imagined it would be this good.

The oxcart had barely stopped when it was engulfed by the enthusiastic crowd.

The three of them, grandfather, grandson, and granddaughter, didn't even have time to catch their breath, let alone drink water, before they started working.

"I've been here since early this morning, sell them to me first! I want these three towels, no one can take them from me!"

"I came here yesterday afternoon, but you were already gone!"

"Hey! Those are the socks I've been eyeing!"

"Is your name written on this? Did you pay for it? If not, it's mine!"

"Mommy, this clay doll is so cute, I want to buy it!"

"I want this toy. If you buy it, I'll definitely be obedient and help you with housework."

"Grandma, I love you the most, please buy it for me..."

Three women and one drama.

Surrounded by layers of people on the oxcart, Hua Yuansheng felt as if 500 ducks were quacking in his ears.

It was so noisy it made my head buzz.

But looking at them stretching out their arms and trying to stuff money into their hands...

Hua Yuansheng inexplicably hoped that another group of such people could come.

He wiped the sweat from his brow, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

We agreed to stretch every penny to three.

Liang Ruotao silently thanked the village chief's mother in her heart.

She can guarantee that the large number of people who came today owes a great deal to her!

"Can you give me a discount if I buy a few more towels?"

A slightly familiar voice rang out, and Liang Yili, who was so busy she was dizzy, subconsciously replied:

"Sorry, this is already the lowest price, no bargaining!"

Hearing the familiar voice above her head, Wang Pandi looked up and the towel she was holding instantly fell to the ground.

"pear?"
