Great Power

"My side is a collection point for waste products. If you want to find a book, you have to go to the recycling station. If there is one, it will be there—"

The old man wearing a peaked cap raised his head impatiently, and quickly tied the paper together in his hands. Zheng Jianguo glanced at the earthen jars piled beside him, and threw them in the corner. When the spring blossoms bloomed, a bit of green appeared between the jars, and I knew that I came here at this time and was interrupting people's lunch break: "Is it the recycling station on the East Goods Yard?"

"Yes, there is a gate on the south side of the yard. I said, what did you kid do when looking for the books from that time. Even if there are ones, they have been sent back to the paper mill to turn waste into treasure. Now you are using books from that time?"

The old man shook his head as he said, crouched into the shed built with raincloth, and threw down Zheng Jianguo and stood in the small courtyard to answer no, and no answer if he didn’t. Fortunately, people looked disgusted when he came. After putting it out, he immediately said, "Thank you, uncle, I'd better go to the recycle bin and don't bother you."

"This kid doesn't look like a good guy, he's also a sneaky uncle. Now who doesn't meet up to be a comrade?"

Under the mid-air sun under the rain, the old man appeared next to the cart carrying a wine bottle, watching Zheng Jianguo who was going away, unscrewing the lid of the wine bottle, and then put it in his mouth and sipped it. The smooth black face suddenly wrinkled into a bun, and then let go of his mouth and made a chuckle, screwed the lid of the wine bottle on to his feet, took the messy bundle of newspapers from the cart and placed it on After opening the floor, pinching a torn kraft paper from the inside, his eyes lit up slightly: "Well, I'm afraid it wasn't the one who came to look for confidential paper under the banner of looking for a book?"

Zheng Jianguo didn’t know that he had attracted people’s attention. Shanxian’s traffic was relatively developed. Before the founding of the People’s Republic of China, he had his own railway station because of its coal reserves. The freight station referred to by the old man refers to this railway station. It takes 20 minutes to walk less than a kilometer. He has been out for a long time now. If he goes directly, he will be late.

After thinking about it, Zheng Jianguo chose to go back to school. One is that he has no money with him, and the other is that he now has the algebra in his hand, so he is not so urgent for other textbooks, but he waits until the afternoon is over to face the sun that is about to go down. When I arrived at the waste recycling station next to the cargo station, I realized that they were already waiting for themselves: "Are you the young man who went to Old Zheng to find a book at noon?"

He Dali, who asked the question, walked towards the door as he spoke. At 1.78 meters tall and with big eyebrows, he felt very oppressive towards Zheng Jianguo. He looked at him with a dull face. Continue to speak: "Is it a "book" from ten years ago?"

"Uh, this big-brother."

Feeling the hostility of the other party inexplicably, although Zheng Jianguo did not know where the problem was, he also understood that he should show his identity at this moment: "I am in the second and fifth class of Chengguan Middle School. I went to the waste recycling station to find books. Increase your knowledge—"

"Are you a high school student?"

He Dali, who had already reached the door, frowned. He was about to take his hand to hold this guy. He carefully looked at Zheng Jianguo's appearance with his eyes. The patches on his clothes and trousers could not be faked, and the accent did not look like foreign. Poke out rough fingers and said: "Open the schoolbag, let me take a look."

Haoxuan was regarded as a saboteur. Before Zheng Jianguo knew where he caused a misunderstanding, he took out all the books in his schoolbag, pointed to the first book of Algebra of Series on the floor and said: "I am Look for other textbooks in this set of books. You see, this is the first book of Algebra. There should be two more. Oh, that’s my student ID—"

"Really a student?"

Holding the photo on the notebook in his hand, he made gestures. He Dali looked at the people and then at the documents. He felt that what the kid was saying was true. Then he put the student card in his schoolbag and picked up the book he was pointing at. He turned it over and put it back, with a smile on the face of the Chinese character with thick eyebrows and big eyes: "You kid, remember to call comrades in the future, especially to elderly comrades and strange comrades. Don’t just open your mouth and be an uncle, no Knowing that it's thievery if you don't do anything to show your courtesy or rape? Ah, I'll pay attention later. Before the old Zheng got off work, he was convinced that he should pay attention to the enemy's destruction. I thought it was time to do meritorious service—"

"Um, I'm sorry--"

Zheng Jianguo swallowed his saliva. He was completely speechless. But think about what others said is correct. When we meet with strangers these years, the first sentence of the words is hello, comrades, old comrades, gays, lesbians, in memory. It will take decades for Zhangkou's uncle, aunt and aunt's sister and brother to appear. Don't say anything about this depression. He quickly packed the books into his bag, looked up at the comrade standing nearby and wanted to make a contribution and said, "That, comrade, Do you know where to find such a book published more than ten years ago?"

"Ten years--a previous book?"

He Dali, who was originally a little discouraged, suddenly came to his spirits. Books from more than a decade ago, they were all in the category of feudal legacy. This kid wanted to find the books at that time, and he blinked his big eyes with such thoughts. The time book, how can I remember if there is one so clearly, that, show me what you have, and I will see if I can remember—"

Zheng Jianguo quickly took out algebra and physics, held them in both hands, and handed them to He Dali’s hands. After seeing him open it, he pointed to the line in front of him and said: "These words are also in front of other books. "Mathematics, physics and chemistry self-study series" should be Chemistry, geometry and physics, I bought it at the original price—"

"Buy at the original price?"

Looking at the book, it is either formula or elaboration. The words and numbers in the book are still recognizable from the beginning. When the following symbols appear, the idea of ​​meritorious service is thrown aside. It is just that I have said that I want to help. When I went back and said it was useless, I thought about it with a frown on the book, and finally shook my head and said, "No, no, but I can help you pay attention. If there is something, I'll keep it for you, how about?"

"That's great!"

Zheng Jianguo didn't expect to hear such a news, he immediately raised his eyebrows and said: "Then, please come to you, comrade, or I will leave you a deposit, oh, I only have two cents and six cents. , This is even a deposit, if you find it for me, I am willing to buy it at the original price—"

"Okay, okay, no problem—"

He Dali suddenly came to his spirits. The price of waste paper at this moment is five cents per catty. Although the price of a book is a little higher, it is only two cents per catty. Open the third volume of physics in his hand. After looking at it, the price of nine cents made him swallow: "How about I give you a note?"

"No, then I'll wait for your good news."

Zheng Jianguo waved his hand and straddled his schoolbag. He Dali, who was holding two cents, flashed curiosity in his eyes. He could see that this guy was not like a child in the city: "I am the guard of the waste recycling station, He Dali, this Books have been around for more than ten years and I can only touch and find—"

"Brother He, I'm not in a hurry to find these books. It's good to find them, and it's okay if you can't find them. I will thank you first."

Zheng Jianguo said with a polite face on his schoolbag department that it is natural that He Dali can help. If he can't help, he can only resign himself to his fate. Looking for a book to find this level is already the limit he can do now, and then deliberately Looking for this set of books, I am afraid that by the end of the year, people will be thinking about it.

The misunderstanding was resolved, and he paid a deposit to entrust He Dali to find a book. Zheng Jianguo chatted with him a few more goodbyes and left. At this time, the sun was about to set, and the flow of people on both sides of the street showed no signs of decreasing. He looked at the people in the distance. The train station and the department store next to it, he didn’t need to go there to know that there was also the post and telecommunications station of the Hostel Farm Machinery Factory. The tall buildings in his mind were still two-story low-rise buildings, the tallest Shanxian Department Store. The building can only see a signal tower on the roof.

"Hey, Zheng Jianguo, what are you doing here?"

A familiar voice came from a trance, Kou Yang tilted his head and appeared curiously in front of him. Zheng Jianguo's gaze fell on her melon seeds, and he smiled: "Kou Yang, why are you here?"

"My home is in the material company compound in front. I think you ran away after school. Your home seems to be in the west of the city, right?"

Kou Yang looked at the sun that was about to set to the west, and then he didn't know what he thought of, and then he said, "If you feel that the initiative, will the school approve it? Or will the leadership above approve it?"

"I feel that it will be approved in all likelihood."

Zheng Jianguo didn't expect that she was still thinking about being a typical thing, and as soon as she turned her eyes, she realized that this sister was originally a strong woman, and even the thorny head Wu Bin in the class ignored him. The opportunity to show off, I watched it slip away, and I was afraid of reluctance. If I was preempted by others, I didn’t know what I would think of myself, so I said: “Last month there was an instruction I didn’t know if you watched it. Good news, if someone proposes to go to the mountains and the countryside in advance, I think there is a great chance of success."

Kou Yang frowned slightly and said, "But there are also documents required to be graduates—"

"Aren't you a graduate?"

Zheng Jianguo smiled slightly, and then remembered his yellow teeth. He quickly pursed his mouth and said: "The third batch of junior high school students are regarded as intellectual youths. We have studied in high school for a year and a half. Are they well-educated?"

Kou Yang squeezed the schoolbag tie on his chest and opened his mouth with blinking eyes: "Then what you said this morning does not agree with us to propose?"

"I don't approve of your initiative."

Zheng Jianguo hesitated a little and still said his true thoughts, but as the words were exported, Kou Yang's complexion changed slightly, and the fingers holding the schoolbag were all white: "Why?"
