Hearing what his eldest daughter said, Helan asked with confusion: "Why are you going to the scrap yard?"
"Mom, let's go there to see if there is any usable furniture or other things. We can also pick up some books. Xiaoxue and I plan to go to school."
Helan looked at her two daughters in a daze when she heard this. The eldest daughter could not see anything on her face, but the younger daughter's eyes were full of longing. She suddenly felt a little sad, "It's because Mom is incompetent and can't let you."
Go to school, yes, we Shuang'er and Xiaoxue should go to school and study more to understand things. Reading is always beneficial."
Seeing that her mother agreed, Tang Xue said happily: "Thank you, Mom, we will definitely study hard."
In fact, no matter whether it is Taohua Village or Luhua Village, there are not many girls who go to school. Everyone always thinks that girls will marry in the future and become members of other people's families, so boys are fundamentally valued over girls. Not to mention that they have to pay tuition fees to study.
She couldn't get work points for helping the family with housework, so most of the girls in the village couldn't go to school. Now that her mother agreed, Tang Xue was really happy.
Seeing Tang Xue's happy look, Tang Shuang couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, let's go to the scrap station quickly and see if we can find elementary school textbooks."
After the mother and daughter arrived at the scrap station, they went straight in to pick out things.
Tang Shuang thought that there was basically no furniture at home and planned to buy a few items first, so she looked directly at the person in charge and asked, "Do you have any furniture?"
The man didn't say much and took the mother and daughter directly to the inner room. "The furniture and everything else are here. You can take a look at it for yourselves. After you choose, you can pay together."
"Okay, thank you, uncle."
Tang Shuang saw the furniture in the room and picked it up with great interest. Some of the furniture was old, new, and some were missing arms and legs. Anyway, they were all piled together.
Helan was very moved when she saw so much furniture, but when she thought about how little money she had, she could only sigh and said, "Shuang'er, we can only buy a few items. I don't have much money."
Tang Shuang smiled and said: "Mom, didn't I say that I have money before? I didn't spend any money when I came to town to buy things yesterday, so I still have some in hand. We can buy whatever we like. Today
I'll pay."
In fact, Helan wanted to ask yesterday, and finally found the opportunity to ask today, "Shuang'er, where did you get the money?"
"Mom, didn't I say before that I saved Uncle Sun? He left me some money when he left, so I have money."
Hearing this, Helan was relieved of her doubts. Originally, she wanted to say that she was not asking for rewards for rescuing people, and she should not take the money. However, now that the people named Sun have left, she did not say more.
What? He just smiled and said: "Since it was given by others, then you save it carefully. Mom will pay for the things you buy today."
"No, Uncle Sun gave me a lot."
Tang Shuang knew that Helan didn't have much money in her hands, so she naturally wouldn't let her spend it. What's more, she wanted to buy a lot of things. "Okay, Mom, let's take a look first."
Tang Xue nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, Mom, let's take a look quickly."
"Okay, okay, let's look at the furniture first."
The mother and daughter slowly started to look at it, and they were all dazzled for a while.
At this time, Tang Shuang walked up to a set of tables and chairs and said, "Mom, let's buy this." I didn't expect there to be such good things here. This whole set of rosewood tables and chairs would definitely be sold in future generations.
Offer a big price.
Helan looked at the dusty tables and chairs and hesitated, "Shuang'er, do you really want to buy this set? I don't know what stains are on this table. It doesn't look very clean. I don't know if I can wipe it after I buy it."
clean."
"That's it."
Seeing the eldest daughter's insistence, Helan said nothing more, "Okay, let's do this."
After that, Tang Shuang chose a huanghuali wardrobe and several mahogany stacking cabinets. She originally wanted to buy three beds, but Helan stopped her.
"Shuang'er, just buy these. Not to mention that this bed is not easy to transport. It will be too conspicuous if you take it back to the village."
After hearing this, Tang Shuang stopped insisting.
"Okay, that's it. Let's go see if there are any textbooks."
The old janitor knew that they were going to pick out books, so he led them to the backyard and said, "You can pick them out yourself. We will sell them by the pound when the time comes."
Looking at the pile of waste paper and books in front of her, Tang Shuang couldn't help but sigh, and then took Tang Xue to find textbooks, with Helan also helping.
When the old man saw this, he said lazily: "You pick first, and then call me when you have made your choice." After saying that, he went directly to the front.
Tang Shuang flipped through it and found that most of the books were broken, and some of them were very rare. Seeing this, she felt a little regretful, but before she could find the elementary school textbooks, she found the junior high school textbooks first.
textbook.
"Xiaoxue, if you find any junior high school or high school textbooks, pick them out and we'll buy them together."
"Okay, sister."
The mother and daughter searched very carefully, and they actually found all the elementary school textbooks, and even the junior high school textbooks, but there were several high school textbooks missing.
"Sister, this painting is so beautiful."
Tang Xue was originally planning to stop, but when she saw a closed painting at the bottom, she opened it and thought it looked pretty.
Tang Shuang heard this and walked over to take a look.
"Hey... isn't this a picture of apricot blossoms and peacocks?" But wasn't this picture taken away? She recognized it with some confusion, and finally couldn't help laughing, "It's actually an authentic work."
"Sister, isn't this painting very precious?"
"This painting is pretty good, please keep it."
Tang Xue nodded very obediently, "Well, I'll put it away right now."
Originally, Tang Shuang was planning to go back, but when she saw that Tang Xue had found paintings from the Ming Dynasty, she started looking for them with great interest. Not to mention, she actually found three well-preserved paintings, one from the Tang Dynasty and two paintings from the Tang Dynasty.
There are several rare and unique copies from the Song Dynasty.
"Shuang'er, Xiaoxue, there is also a book box here, which is just suitable for storing books. Please take it too."
When Tang Shuang saw He Lan holding a rosewood book box in her hand, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, this book box can hold a lot of books."
After the mother and daughter selected the items, they went directly to pay.
Tang Shuang saw that all the furniture had been moved out, and there were still some solid wood round stools and matching small round tables that had just been delivered to the door. "Old man, I want those round stools and round tables too." This small stool.
The carving is exquisite and looks good. You can put it in your yard after buying it.
"Okay."
Seeing that Tang Shuang and the others bought a lot, the man's face was full of smiles, "That much is worth ninety yuan to you, and I can also help you contact the person who moved the furniture."
"Then thank you, old man."
Helan felt a little distressed at the side. She was so happy with what she had just chosen. She didn't expect to choose so many at once, and she suddenly remembered that they still owed money to the village chief Tang Yuemin. It seemed a little bad to buy things like this now.
However, Tang Shuang had already paid the money readily, and finally the mother and daughter followed the people who moved the furniture back to Taohua Village.
