From a distance, you can see mountains of used goods in the flea market.
There are waste products and things that can be recycled, but they are all piled up in a messy way.
Song Xi and Zhou Yi looked at each other and walked towards the old man, "Old man, can we go in and have a look?"
"Go in, don't touch anything randomly, just pick out what you need and weigh it and pay." The old man waved his hand casually.
Many things in it can be used, so he also hopes that someone will buy them so that they will not be wasted.
And he has been working here, secretly hiding a lot of good things when no one is paying attention.
He felt really distressed when he saw the usable things being exposed to the wind and sun inside!
"Thank you, uncle." Song Xi grabbed a handful of White Rabbit toffee, put it on the table in front of the old uncle, and walked inside with Zhou Yi.
The flea market actually has an unpleasant name - garbage dump.
Therefore, the smell inside is not good, and there are many mosquitoes and flies. As soon as people enter, they can hear the buzzing of mosquitoes and flies.
As soon as you enter the gate, you can see that the entire yard is full of messy things, which are more complete than those in the supply and marketing cooperative.
There are all kinds of shabby furniture, pots and pans, bottles and jars, clothes and shoes...
Rural people are reluctant to make new clothes all year round, and all they have are old clothes with patches on them.
As a result, there were so many clothes that were 50% new and not even patched at the flea market, which shows that there are really many rich people in this city.
Looking at the old clothes piled up, Song Xi felt a little distressed. She endured the unpleasant smell and reached out to rummage through them.
Zhou Yi immediately grabbed Song Xi's hand, his eyes filled with distress, "Daughter-in-law, we don't pick up other people's old clothes to wear. I'll buy you new clothes to wear."
My daughter-in-law must have had a hard time in the past, but in the future with him, he will never let her wear clothes with a patch again.
"I don't want to wear them. I have other uses. Go and pick out the wine bottles and cans with lids for me. I have other uses too."
Song Xi was very touched by Zhou Yi's thoughtfulness, but having Zhou Yi here affected her performance, so she sent Zhou Yi aside.
In fact, most of the clothes here can still be worn after being disinfected and washed.
Some fabrics are really good, but people in this city are rich and love beauty. After wearing a piece of clothing for a while, they no longer want to wear it, so they just throw it away.
In modern times, she changes clothes very frequently. Sometimes she buys a new piece of clothing, takes photos of it, and then puts it on the shelf.
But instead of throwing it away, she sold it on a second-hand website.
Although she has money, she doesn't waste it like this.
Song Xi really wanted to collect all these old clothes, but it was inconvenient with Zhou Yi here.
You can't just put it in the supermarket after paying for it, and there's no way two people can take so many clothes back home.
It seems that she can only wait until next time. Next time she comes alone, she will take away all the old clothes that still have use value and recycle them.
Besides, some garbage is resources that have been misplaced and can be recycled.
In the end, Song Xi picked out ten tops, ten pairs of pants, and ten pairs of shoes, both for adults and children.
She first put her clothes and shoes at the old man's place, and then went to Zhou Yi's place to pick out glass bottles.
A total of thirty good wine bottles and seven cans were selected.
In fact, cans and bottles can be exchanged for money at the supply and marketing cooperative, but no one seems to care about the few cents and just throw the bottles away.
Song Xi and Zhou Yi took their things to the old man to settle the bill.
The old man simply took a look at them, paid them 50 cents, and let them go.
Song Xi was very happy. After thanking the old man, she and Zhou Yi put the things into the backpack together.
The prices at the secondhand market are really exciting. A piece of clothing that costs more than ten yuan only costs two cents here.
Glass bottles that cost pennies each cost only a penny here.
For Song Xi, this price is really like picking up money.
In such a prosperous and prosperous modern era, there are people doing the old clothing business, so why can't she do it?
Besides, she doesn’t really make money from these old clothes, she just wants to be a mover of old clothes so that they can be put to reasonable use!
Thinking of this, Song Xi suddenly felt that she seemed to have something to do!
It was still a long time before the oxcart returned, so the two of them went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things that didn't require tickets.
For example, Song Xi didn't buy glutinous rice sticks, fruit candies, and other items.
She mainly looked at the items in the supply and marketing cooperatives to see if there were anything similar in the supermarket.
If there are any, you can just get similar ones from the supermarket in the future.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the two got on the bullock cart for the return journey.
It wasn't until after seven o'clock that we arrived at Ping'an Village.
Walking on the wooden bridge over the stream, Song Xi saw Zhou Xiaoshu and Zhou Xiaohua standing under the peach tree in front of the house next door.
The two children breathed a sigh of relief when they saw her back.
After all, Song Xi is their 'gold master'. If it weren't for Song Xi, they wouldn't know who they would sell the snails and mussels they picked up.
It seems that Song Xi went out today to sell their snails and river mussels.
Thinking of this, both children were very grateful to Song Xi.
Without Song Xi, they still don’t know how they would have lived!
Song Xi shook his head at them and told them not to come yet.
After all, she didn't want Zhou Yi to know that she was buying snails and river mussels.
The two children were not stupid. They glanced at Zhou Yi next to Song Xi and turned around to go home.
When she got home, Song Xi slumped down on her chair. Riding in the bullock cart was really hard.
Unfortunately, you can only take a bullock cart or walk from Ping'an Village.
There are no bicycles in rural areas these days, and bicycles are equivalent to Mercedes-Benz and BMW.
If someone buys a bicycle, the whole village will be excited.
Song Xi rested for a while, then took out the old clothes and wine bottles and cans, and placed them in the corner under the eaves.
I plan to deal with it when I have more time, but I don't have the energy to deal with it today.
Song Xi took out half of the glutinous rice sticks and wrapped them. Seeing Zhou Yi busy, she said, "Brother Yi, didn't Aunt Li next door give us eggs before? I want to give her some glutinous rice sticks as a thank you gift."
"
"Daughter-in-law, go ahead!" Zhou Yi looked back at Song Xi.
Because Aunt Li's family were pretty good people, and they lived just a few meters away, he was happy to let Song Xi interact with Aunt Li's family.
The two of them are a young couple, and there are still many things they don't understand. It is inevitable that they will beg Aunt Li in the future.
Song Xi carried half a kilogram of glutinous rice sticks out of the door and went to the next door a few meters away.
The courtyard door of Aunt Li's house was still open, but there was no one in the courtyard.
Song Xi did not go in directly, but reached out and knocked on the wooden door.
The knock on the door startled everyone in the house, and soon Aunt Li came out. When she saw it was Song Xi, her face lit up with joy, "Xiao Xi, why are you here? Have you had dinner?"
