Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 266 Collecting Waste

After Lin Qingyan left, Yu Zhengming and Fang Yuzhen were stopped.

"Old Yu, is that girl really your adopted daughter?"

"Well, can this be false?"

"Then Yu..."

The person questioning was about to say the name of Yu Zhengming's daughter when he was interrupted by Yu Zhengming.

"Lao Fang and I don't have a daughter. When we were sent down, we met this girl. She helped us many times without fear of danger. Later, she even provided us with long-term assistance. Lao Fang also got along well with this girl, so we decided to adopt her as our goddaughter."

Everyone in the yard knew about their family affairs. After hearing him say this, they understood that Yu Zhengming's own daughter had no weight at all in his eyes.

I followed Yu Zhengming's words and said:

"It seems that this girl is very polite and knows how to be grateful."

"Didn't you say you met her in the countryside? Why did she come to Beijing?"

Another one was a little suspicious of Lin Qingyan's intentions and worried that Yu Zhengming would be hurt again, so he asked.

When Yu Zhengming heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said to them with a smile:

"This girl worked hard and took part in this year's college entrance examination and was admitted to our school."

"Really?"

"real!"

"Then this child is good. Not only is he kind, but he is also smart."

"What's her major?"

"economy."

"Why doesn't she learn math from you or French from Lao Fang?"

Fang Yuzhen also has several female professors around her age.

"This girl has a great talent for languages. During her time in the countryside, she has learned everything I could teach her."

Fang Yuzhen proudly showed off to others.

"So amazing? Lao Fang, you're not exaggerating, are you?"

"That's not an exaggeration. During this period, she not only learned French from me, Ouyang Zhao, you know her, right? This girl also learned English from Ouyang Zhao. As far as I know, Ouyang Zhao is very satisfied with her."

Regardless of whether what Yu Zhengming and his wife said was true or not, the people in the yard all remembered Lin Qingyan at this time. Many of them were also secretly preparing that when school started, as long as Lin Qingyan attended their classes, they would definitely test and teach her a lesson.

Lin Qingyan didn't know at this time that after school started, she would face many tests from professors.

After taking a shower at night and before going to bed, she wrote another letter to Liu Huizhen, telling her mother that she had found a godmother.

Although Comrade Liu Huizhen sometimes behaves very magnanimously, it is estimated that she will not be able to accept the fact that her daughter suddenly has a new mother for a while.

In the next few days, Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi were busy cleaning the house. Not only did they clean the front yard, but they also cleaned the backyard.

The two stood in the backyard and looked at the empty house, and decided to buy some second-hand furniture.

In this way, when Wang Lanlan and the others came, they could move in directly and get to work as soon as they said it.

The two asked several people along the way before they found the scrap yard, where an old man was guarding the door.

Lin Qingyan has been to several scrap yards. She doesn't know why the gatekeepers are all old men.

Unlike the modern second-hand market, the lady in Xishui Town is so enthusiastic, especially when compared with this cold old man, it's like they are from two different worlds.

Lin Qingyan patted her head lightly, wondering what she was thinking. The era she lived in and the modern times she could go to were two completely different worlds.

Ye Yi saw her patting her head and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Why are you hitting yourself?"

"Ah? It's okay. I'm a little sleepy. I'm going to pat myself to wake myself up."

"Did you not sleep well last night? Then let's go in and buy it, and then go back and rest."

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi walked up to the gatekeeper.

"Uncle, we want to pick out some furniture, is there any here?"

The old man then raised his eyes from the newspaper in his hand, looked at them, and pointed to a room at the back.

"All the furniture is in that room. A batch was delivered today. You can go in and see if there is anything suitable."

"Okay, thank you, uncle."

Lin Qingyan and the other person walked into the house. In the corner of the room, there were actually two beds. This bed looked much better than the other ones that were missing some limbs.

They decided to buy the two beds directly, and picked out two tables, as well as some chairs and stools in the house. One of the legs of one of them was missing, but Lin Qingyan didn't care. After she had picked out all the things, she called the doorman to settle the bill.

Second-hand items are cheaper, but this cheapness refers to goods in relatively intact condition. For example, the wood craftsmanship of this era is all hand-made, whether it is a bed or a table or chair, they are all made by hand, and the quality is much better than that of modern assembly line products.

"Girl, do you need me to deliver these things to you?"

Lin Qingyan originally wanted to ask if there was anyone who could help deliver the house, otherwise she and Ye Yi would have no idea when they would be able to move in. When she heard that someone could deliver the house, she nodded immediately.

"Yes, I need help delivering it!"

"Where do you live, girl?"

After Lin Qingyan told him the address, the old man at the door glanced at her and said to her:

"It costs 2 dollars to deliver these."

Lin Qingyan handed over the money without hesitation, left her address, and went back with Ye Yi.

Ordinary people in this era are still relatively simple and honest, and there are very few who are dishonest or cunning. When you pay money and have someone deliver something to your home, you don't have to worry about them not keeping their promise.

It's not that the law doesn't allow it, nor that surveillance everywhere can find the person, but the simple nature of the people of this era does not allow them to do so.

Lin Qingyan went home with Ye Yi with peace of mind.

She didn't know that the second-hand item she bought was actually the pear wood that was sold at a high price in later generations.

At this time, Lin Qingyan took advantage of Ye Yi's rest and went out. She actually moved some things out of the space and also moved her bicycle out. These days, she and Ye Yi mostly walked or took the bus, which were not as convenient as bicycles.

Lin Qingyan looked at the bicycle, and in order to prevent Ye Yi from doubting the origin of the bicycle, she added some other marks on the bicycle.

After doing all this and returning home, I saw the bed delivery person had arrived.

After putting the bed in the room and making it, they both breathed a sigh of relief. They could finally rest peacefully for two days.

After dinner, Lin Qingyan talked to Ye Yi about tomorrow's plans.

"I'm going to visit some other teachers tomorrow. Will you come with me?"

"I won't go. I'll go clean up the house next door tomorrow. Xu Jianshan might come with Wang Lanlan. If he doesn't want us to live in the same yard, he can live in the house over there temporarily."

Lin Qingyan also agreed with her point of view and nodded in agreement.

The next morning, after breakfast, the two went their separate ways. Lin Qingyan planned to visit Ouyang Zhao first, but Ouyang Zhao and his family lived the farthest away, so she could only go to Tian Bochuan's house first.

As for Lu Shichang, he and Gu Yizhou are uncle and nephew, and Lin Qingyan always feels that it is better to wait for Gu Yizhou to come back before visiting him.

But I didn't expect that plans could not keep up with changes.
