Talented Young Lady

Gu Mingyuan's simple room is not big. It is only a dozen square meters. There is a table in the corner as a dining table. There is also a big bookshelf made of coarse wood, which is full of various books.

Gu Mingyuan put the small coal stove beside the dining table outside the door. He did not know where to find a piece of plastic cloth, separated a corner from the simple room, and made a small bed for me to sleep.

Although it's only one meter wide, it's a real bed!

What's more, it was covered with thick and brand-new bedding.

Although this makes the house more crowded, for me, that inch of land is already paradise.

This area is already the most marginal part of the city. At that time, all the people who lived there were still rural hukou, and there were no rich people.

After I stayed, Gu Mingyuan told his neighbors that I was his granddaughter. Although the neighbors were confused, they didn't ask me more. Some of them who had seen me in the wasteland also sent me some clothes.

I have been working in the countryside since I was a child. My body bone is good. The fever subsides one day after the high fever. On the third day, Gu Mingyuan and I went out.

Gu Mingyuan has a scooter. When I step on the pedal, the chain creaks. When I sit on the scooter, I feel flustered. I'm afraid that the chain will be broken.

It wasn't until Gu Mingyuan stopped the car and looked at me with his arms in his arms and his eyes staring at the chain without blinking, laughing, that I recovered.

Gu Mingyuan said with a smile, "don't look at this guy's voice, but you can use it. When you go back, I'll teach you how to repair it. Now, come on, come down, we're going to start work."

Work!

I quickly jumped off the scooter and looked around nervously.

I've known since I was a child that there's nothing I can do in this city. I told people that I could work. Eleven times out of ten times, I was blasted out, and the other time was boom and boom

However, I looked again and again, but I didn't see any place to work except a garbage station in front of me.

I don't understand to look at Gu Mingyuan.

"Here it is." Gu Mingyuan pointed to the garbage station and laughed: "you, ah, turn through the garbage every day, but don't know the correct way to check. Today, I tell you, there are many treasures in the garbage."

I was puzzled: "garbage is not something you don't want? How can there be a baby? "

Gu Mingyuan, smiling, took me to the garbage station and said, "well, my grandfather taught you the first knowledge. Do you know that the arsenic is my honey?"

My eyes widened and my face was blank.

This is more difficult to understand than Mandarin!

"That is to say, something that is poison to others may be honey to me. Of course, this should be contrary. It means that it is honey to others, and it may be poison to yourself. In the final analysis, it means that we should not just look at the surface. The same thing and the same thing mean the opposite effect to different people Therefore, don't look at other people's money and power on the envy, to choose a life that suits you

Gu Mingyuan pauses, looks back at my foggy appearance, chuckles, touches my head and says, "I'm in a hurry. It's too difficult for you."

I looked at him stupidly and said, "do you mean that those ragged clothes and shoes in the garbage can are very important to me?"

Gu Mingyuan was stunned. He laughed twice, then patted my head and said, "smart boy, that's what you mean! Come on, Grandpa, take you to the treasure hunt and see what the stupid people have lost! "

Gu Mingyuan took me to open the gate of the garbage station, and then hooked out a pile of garbage with an iron hook. Before squatting down to check, he took a pair of gloves to me, and then gave me a mask to teach me to take good care of.

The garbage in the garbage station is much more complicated than that in the garbage can, and even has a stronger odor.

But with masks and gloves, and the garbage can that I've been digging through for so long, it's not an obstacle at all.

But in a few minutes, I was attracted by Gu Mingyuan's teaching.

Gu Mingyuan taught me how to identify iron wire and copper wire. All metals, no matter what their original shape is, are picked up in a big bag.

Then there are all kinds of paper products.

Generally, the discarded cartons are folded and then tied with ropes. Newspapers and magazines are also picked up and tied with ropes.

And books, Gu Mingyuan will first open to have a look, some books carefully placed aside, the others let me and others tied together.

Among the paper products, Gu Mingyuan's favorite is those wrinkled and rotten letters.

As long as the letters were turned out, Gu Mingyuan carefully smoothed them out and put them into a black bag he carried with him.

We checked the garbage station for a whole morning and found that there was nothing left. Gu Mingyuan took me to carry the packed things onto the flatbed truck, and then stepped on the flatbed truck to the next garbage station.

On the way, Gu Mingyuan bought four big meat buns and divided two for me to eat.The next dump is located in the middle of a beautiful house with more things in it than the previous one.

But when you look at it, you can see that the metal, cardboard and everything inside have been picked up.

A man in his forties with a big bag on his back was still standing at the door. When he saw us coming, he said with a smile, "Mr. Gu, have you done it three times again? Li can find something good in front of him. I don't know who lost a big bag of clothes. All of them are made of cloth. There are still 80% new ones. "

Gu Mingyuan stopped the car and said with a smile, "that's the blessing of others."

"This one?" The man saw me and nuzzled at Gu Mingyuan.

"My granddaughter." Gu Mingyuan said lightly.

The man raised his eyebrows and said with a smile to Gu Mingyuan, "I'm gone. It's yours."

That person finish saying, squeeze an eye to me, smile maliciously, turn to walk.

I jumped out of the car and followed Gu Mingyuan.

I know something about the tramp world when I've been in the city for a long time. Even picking up garbage and turning garbage cans have their own places.

I think the main site of Gu Mingyuan is the garbage station in front of him, which should belong to others. However, Gu Mingyuan used some methods to get people to agree to do it again after they had finished.

But they all turn over the garbage. What else can they leave behind?

I don't understand.

Gu Mingyuan looked at me and chuckled: "forget what I told you? First find out the letters. Those letters are too small and they are impatient to read them. As for the others, follow me and I will teach you slowly. "

I followed Gu Mingyuan into the garbage station.

In the garbage station which has been checked for two rounds, it seems that there is no thing that can be picked up at a glance. If you want to find something from it, you have to squat inside and turn it over a little bit.

Gu Mingyuan said the letter, and I concentrated on looking for the letter.

With the experience of the last garbage station and Gu Mingyuan's explanation, I have a little experience.

Some of the people who lost letters were thrown out of the house. Books and letters were bundled, but some of them were lost as soon as they received the letter.

This kind of letter is thin and small. It's very unobtrusive, and most of it is mixed with food residue. Ordinary people don't have to find it.

In this garbage station, there are many such letters.

One afternoon, I found more than a dozen such letters.

Gu Mingyuan, on the other hand, found a black mud pot with a missing mouth.

At that time, Gu Mingyuan was very happy and said to me excitedly, "Xiaoqing, you are really the lucky star of my grandfather. When you come here, you can find this kind of thing."

At that time, I didn't know why Gu Mingyuan was so excited about a broken pot. It was not until many years later that I understood his feelings at that time.
