Chapter 67.

Mingxi Village’s waste recycling station is located on the roadside outside the village, with a rain-proof iron shed, and the ground is full of all kinds of colorful plastic bags, paper scraps and ropes, looking dirty.

The cardboard signboard hangs on the wall and reads “Scrap Recycling” in large, crooked, different-sized letters.

Outside the shed was parked a human-powered tricycle of the same model as Zhao Si’s grandfather, and an oversized weighing scale was placed in the shed, which was very conspicuous, next to the cooking utensils for cooking, and the face basin on the iron shelf.

Neatly piled up like a small mountain of paper shells, in the corners of the wall were all kinds of iron bars, steel, and all kinds of scrap electrical appliances.

This scrapyard is owned by an elderly couple.

Instead of being a recycling station, it is more appropriate to call it a scrap transfer station, where the recycled scrap is also sold to upstream recyclers, and the ones above it are also subject to offers from large manufacturers.

So the recycling price of waste is not fixed, but will fluctuate, depending on the recycler’s recycling price, sometimes for a dime or a few cents difference in price and go all the way to the recycling station to sell waste is also a common thing.

Zhao Si felt that the recycling price of paper shells is lower than usual, it did not sell, the price of plastic bottles and cans is good, then immediately out.

Cheng Li prefers this place to the countryside dirt roads full of chicken and duck droppings, stepping back and forth on plastic bags and making barfing noises.

Cheng Ming then began his treasure hunt, although they are some scrapped appliances, but still can find good things, such as black and white TV sets are mostly bad picture tube.

There are bad screens and bad wiring, and while the problems are varied, it’s not that hard to fix them.

Cheng Li, who was tired of playing with the plastic bag, ran over and hugged Cheng Ming’s head, rocking back and forth as he asked, “Brother, what are you doing?”

“I’m picking up trash for fun.”

Cheng Li immediately let go of his hand and took a small step back.

“What’s wrong all of a sudden?”

“There’s just a sense of my brother getting dirty.”

“Oooooh, found something good.”

A rusty satellite pot, a cable TV line with fewer channels than a satellite pot, and a yearly bill that charges a bit much.

And the satellite pot can receive stations in foreign provinces with many channels, especially there are many stations that broadcast Japanese cartoons for a one-time fee. However, the signal is sometimes unstable and there are many unforeseen and unexpected factors when using it.

The old grandpa at the scrapyard, let’s call him the stationmaster, is also a pretty savvy guy.

The black-and-white TV with a broken picture tube that Cheng Ming took was more expensive.

But the satellite pot was sold to Cheng Ming at a scrap metal price.

When he saw the scale, Cheng Li couldn’t help but step on it.

Cheng Ming picks up a 25kg weight and adds it to the weighing head, then slowly moves the traveling weight on the scale pole until the scale is balanced.

“25 plus 8.2, 33.2 kilograms, Lai, have you been snacking too much and getting a little fat?”

“No way! I weighed only 33 kilograms before.” Cheng Li raised his hand, his index finger and thumb rubbing against each other and said, “It’s just a little bit heavier.”

With his sister’s height of a meter three or so, this weight was very normal, Cheng Ming just wanted her to be able to control her mouth and eat less snacks.

“It’s a rare opportunity, let’s weigh in Ren too.” Cheng Ming proposed.

Zhao Ren stood obediently on the scale, unconsciously lowering her head.

Cheng Ming patted her back and said, “Don’t be hunched over, stand straight and lift your chest and back.”

Cheng Ming put the ruler pole upstream weight slightly left before reaching the balance again, the height is about the same, but a full five kilograms lighter.

“So light, it looks like you didn’t eat properly, it’s not good to be picky.” Cheng Li shook his head with his arms wrapped around him.

“If you can’t talk, don’t talk, it’s not your turn to say that, you picky eater.”

Don’t rub salt in the wound, there’s no such thing as a picky eater.

Cheng Ming’s hand wanted to go grab his sister’s head and catch her apologizing to Zhao Ren.

As a result, Cheng Li lowered his head and ran away, dodging Cheng Ming’s head-touching, clasping his hands on top of his head, and said in disgust, “Brother, you go and wash your hands first before you touch me.”

“I’m sorry, my sister she’s not very talkative.”

Zhao Ren pouted and said without any emotional fluctuation, “It’s okay, I didn’t take it to heart.”

Isn’t that a sign of anger?

“But you really need to eat more, you’re too skinny.” Cheng Ming said as he touched Zhao Ren’s head.

Sister debt brother repayment, sister broke the goods can only be by him as a brother to wipe his ass.

The goal is to get Cho Rei to pick up the habit of being a picky eater.

The popliteal fossa behind Cheng Ming’s knee was suddenly kicked, and when he looked back, he only saw his sister looking at him with a displeased face.

“What again?”

“Stop touching it, it’s making someone’s head bald.”

Jo Rei really doesn’t have a lot of type of hair.

“Are you jealous? Settle down, I’ve got two hands.”

Cheng Ming put his right hand on his sister’s head, stroking it back and forth from side to side.

“Hmph, my hair is better than hers, right?”

Cheng Li tilted his head, a slight breath leaking out of his nostrils, a face of pride, how even being touched can be divided into a high and a low ah.

“Don’t you think my hands are dirty now?” Cheng Ming asked fervently.

Fearing that Cheng Ming’s hand would suddenly leave as if he was leaving, Cheng Li grabbed Cheng Ming’s hand and said, “Anyway, it’s already dirty, just wash your hair when you get back.”

It came with the back of the tricycle loaded with scrap.

Go back, the tricycle is also loaded with Cheng Ming bought black and white TV sets, satellite pots and some other parts, as well as unsold paper shells, I do not know whether to sell scrap, or to buy scrap.

On the way back, Cheng Ming stopped carrying Cheng Li and let her walk avoiding the dirt on the floor.

Looking at the things he bought, Cheng Ming scratched his cheeks rather embarrassingly and said, “I’m sorry to trouble you, why don’t I ride the tricycle?”

“It’s fine it’s fine.”

Passing by the only kiosk in the village, Zhao Si stopped the car and took out a red plastic bag from his pocket, which was filled with cash, without a wallet and afraid of losing the money, so he used the plastic bag to act as an improvised wallet.

“Here’s your money, go buy some food.”

“No, Grandpa, I’m not hungry yet.” Zhao Ren desperately waved her hand and shook her head in refusal.

“Yeah.” Cheng Li answered with his mouth full.

Cheng Ming lightly knocked his sister’s head and said in a good-natured manner, “You should be more polite to me.”

“Rei, accept your grandfather’s kindness at this time.”

Cheng Ming took the money and led the two into the kiosk.

Sometimes accepting giving and kindness is the greatest respect.

But the store really didn’t have many snacks, and considering that we were going to have a big meal later, we couldn’t eat anything too heavy or greasy, lest we lose our appetite later.

Just buy a pack of qq candies for each of the two in different flavors.

Cheng Li is very concerned about food, to eat to eat the most satisfying and perfect.

So it hit on the idea of the qq candies in Zhao Ren’s hand.

“Hey ……”

Cheng Li shouted towards Zhao Ren, but Zhao Ren simply ignored it.

“Why don’t we trade that …… one for the other? I’ll return one to you.” Cheng Li directly blocked Zhao Ren’s way and said.

“My name isn’t hello or that, my name is Jo Rei, here.”

Zhao Ren picked up a qq candy and handed it to Cheng Li, who peeked over his head and directly ate it in one bite.

Zhao Ren, whose fingers felt slightly moist, quickly withdrew her hand and said in shock, “What are you doing all of a sudden!”

“Here’s one for you too, open your mouth ……”

Cheng Li also picked up a qq candy and handed it to Zhao Ren’s mouth.

“I have my own hands.”

But Cheng Li safety did not hear Zhao Ren’s words, the small hand slowly approached, qq candy has been against her lips, just waiting for her to open her mouth.

Cho Rei who had no choice but to open her mouth and eat it in embarrassment.

“Yummy, yummy.” Cheng Li asked excitedly.

“Uh-huh.” Zhao Ren, whose small face was slightly red, weakly answered.

One person finished the snack in one bite.

It seems that Cheng Ming doesn’t need to worry about their relationship, but also, they are all children and have their own way of getting along with each other.

Zhao Ren hadn’t gone through a big change in her family yet, and naturally she hadn’t turned into a little hedgehog that people don’t want to get close to, protecting herself tightly.

“Brother Cheng Ming, when is Sister Lin coming.”

Zhao Ren still couldn’t get enough of Lin Jingyi, her beautiful big sister.

“Next week, I’ll bring her over next week.”

There should still be time after McDonald’s to make a trip here to give Rei Jo a children’s day as well.

“Sister Lin, it can’t be Lin Jingyi, right?” Cheng Li asked alertly.

“Well, yes, that’s her.”

“What, then I’m coming too!”

Zhao Ren had absolutely no interactions with these two people in his previous life, and now that he had gotten to know them so early, he didn’t know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, it should be considered a good thing.

“Brother, carry me, I’m tired.” Cheng Li suddenly stopped and said.

“Why don’t you see that you’re tired of eating just now?”

“It’s precisely because I’ve finished eating that I’m tired.” Cheng Li said reasonably.

“There’s really nothing you can do about it, come on up.”
