How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 31 They are all good things
Li Le quickly looked back and saw that it was an old man who looked very kind.

"Grandma, do you have anything to sell?" Li Le asked quickly.

In fact, there is no need to ask. When people call him, it means they want to sell junk to him, otherwise why would they call him?

"Well! There are some things for sale. Come in and take a look! What do you want?"

"Huh!" Li Le was stunned for a moment. Why did he want something else? He was a junk collector, so he would take anything.

"Ok!"

Li Le nodded, then pushed the tricycle and followed the old man.

The old man lived nearby. In less than three minutes, Li Le followed the old man to the gate of a courtyard house.

The steps at the gate are very high, unlike Li Le’s house, which are basically level with the road. The steps are so high that tricycles cannot get in.

"Your car can't get in." The old man turned and said to Li Le.

"It's okay, just leave it outside." Li Le said, took off the chain lock from the handlebar, and then locked the wheels.

After following the old man into the courtyard, Li Le discovered that it was a courtyard with only one entrance and the yard was not very big.

After the old man brought Li Le in, he pointed to a main room and said, "We don't want anything in that room anymore. Just take whatever you can."

"Oh! Okay!" Li Le nodded and walked over.

There are only three main rooms in this courtyard house, and the room the old man was referring to is the east room of the main house, which is the one on the east side of the living room.

Li Le pushed the door open. When he saw the things in the room, he was stunned for a moment and turned to look at the old man.

Asked: "Grandma, are you sure everything in this house has been sold?"

The furnishings in the house are not complicated and can be said to be clear at a glance. The house is not big, only about a dozen square meters.

This room not only has an outer door, but also an inner door leading to the living room, so the whole room is a study.

It can be said that except for the windows and the outer door, the other three walls are bookshelves filled with densely packed books.

There is a table and a chair in the middle of the house, with pens, ink, paper and inkstone on them.

It was obvious at first glance that the owner of this study was a book lover, but Li Le didn't understand why the old lady wanted to sell the things in this room.

"I've sold it. I don't want it anymore. Out of sight, out of mind." The old man said dejectedly.

"Grandma, although I'm just a rag collector, I also know that these books are good books. Are you sure you want to sell them?" Li Le asked again.

The old lady glanced at Li Le and said, "The old man is gone, and the children will move back from other places in a few days. The house at home is not big enough, so we can only vacate this room."

Hearing what the old lady said, Li Le seemed to understand what was going on.

The old lady's husband passed away, and she was left alone. Her children had to come back to take care of her, but there were only so many houses in the family.

Besides, the old lady didn't want to see these things, otherwise she wouldn't have said, "out of sight, out of mind."

"Okay, I got it. I'll clean it up now and make sure it's clean for you."

After Li Le entered the room, he first stacked up the books one by one. There were many good books in the room, some of which were even rare copies.

Moreover, even if it is not a unique copy now, it will become a unique copy in the future, so Li Le cherishes it very much.

After stacking everything, Li Le tied them up with ropes and moved them outside.

Next are the bookshelves in the room. Fortunately, these bookshelves are not a whole unit, but many shelves combined together.

The most troublesome thing is the table. It is not only big, but also very heavy. However, its weight does not matter because Li Le is very strong, so this weight is not a problem for him.

The trouble here is that the door is too small and it is not easy to get the table out. Fortunately, Li Le is very strong and he tried various angles and worked for more than ten minutes before he finally got the table out.

"Grandma, the price of books and newspapers is two hundred yuan per pound. Let's weigh them now!"

"Well! Just weigh it!" The old lady took a look at the books and turned away.

"Uh!"

Li Le smiled bitterly and shook his head. Although the old lady said she didn't care, she must be feeling bad inside.

But Li Le thought about it and it didn’t make sense. If the old lady really cared, she could sell the books and shelves since they took up space, and she could just keep the desk!
After all, this is a piece of furniture, and a particularly good one at that.

Although Li Le didn't understand, he could tell that this desk was an old item and was definitely made of good wood.

The same goes for the bookshelves, all of them are good stuff.

I guess there is a story behind this, and it is a story that forced the old lady to sell her things. But it has nothing to do with Li Le, he is just a rag collector.

Although the old lady had left, Li Le did not lose any weight. The books alone weighed more than 1,300 kilograms.

As for the bookshelves, tables and chairs, there is no way to weigh them because they are not sold by weight.

"Grandma, it's been weighed. The books are 1,353 kilograms, so count them as 1,360 kilograms." Li Le shouted to the main room.

Soon the old lady came out and asked, "How much is the total?"

"The books are two hundred and seventy-two thousand dollars, and the bookshelves, tables, chairs, and other things are not included."

"Give me a total of 400,000 yuan and take it all away," said the old lady.

Li Le looked at the remaining items and said without hesitation, "Okay."

He took out 400,000 and gave it to the old lady, then took it out.

While no one was paying attention, Li Le took some out and put some back into the space.

There is no way, there are too many things and I can’t pack them all in. What I want to talk about here is not the weight, but the volume.

But even so, the tricycle was filled to the brim. Not only did it extend beyond the left, right and back of the cart, it was also more than two meters high.

After taking out a rope to tie it up, Li Le rode away. With so many things, only Li Le could carry them. It would have been difficult for anyone else to push them, let alone ride them.

The main reason was that Li Le didn’t want to do it too obviously, so he just put away some of the things that took up more space, and most of them were still installed on the tricycle.

Not long after Li Le left, he came out of a dead end on a tricycle, but there was nothing on the tricycle.

Yes, after entering this alley just now, Li Le put all the things on the tricycle into the space.

It's still early and Li Le doesn't want to go back. Besides, although he has harvested a lot, Li Le will not sell most of them.

In this case, it means that Li Le did not receive anything at all, but instead spent a lot of money, which he must earn back.

Otherwise, after a few days, he would have no money to receive the goods.

"Collecting junk and scrap to sell!"

"Scrap iron, scrap copper..."

Li Le was riding a tricycle and shouting.
