Chapter 69 Scrap Collection Station
After seeing Jiang Linlin and Xie Guodong off, Qin Yingxue saw Qin Dahe standing at the intersection, looking at the car with envy, almost drooling.
"Third Brother, as long as you work hard to earn money, you'll have it sooner or later," Qin Yingxue encouraged him.
Qin Dahe, having his thoughts read, scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "I dare not think too much about it. I'll be satisfied as long as I can eat meat every day."
"Third Brother, you can be bolder!" Qin Yingxue gave a thumbs-up. "I believe in you!"
Qin Dahe reached out and ruffled Qin Yingxue's hair in an annoyed tone: "You always tease me!"
"Third Brother..." Qin Yingxue was a little flustered after her hair was messed up.
Qin Dahe laughed triumphantly and ran away quickly before Qin Yingxue could make a move, leaving behind a series of arrogant laughs.
Seeing the pure and bright smile on Qin Dahe's face, Qin Yingxue couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh. She smiled and her eyes were filled with tenderness.
These were undoubtedly the happiest and purest times.
Unfortunately, it was also the shortest-lived.
Back at the Qin family home, Li Hehua had already prepared a return gift.
Thirty eggs, a two-pound pork carton, and several pairs of shoes that she and her two daughters-in-law made by hand.
Song Yanchuan carried the return gifts, bid farewell to the Qin family members one by one, and took Qin Yingxue home.
When they returned to the Song family home, Zhu Huiwen was not there. Song Yanchuan placed the Qin family's return gifts in the main room, and he and Qin Yingxue took a few pairs of shoes back to the bridal chamber.
"What did Jiang Linlin say to you before she left?" Qin Yingxue asked when there were only the two of them in the room.
Song Yanchuan, who was helping to organize the dowry, paused, then his expression stiffened for a moment: "It's nothing."
"I don't believe it." Qin Yingxue leaned close to Song Yanchuan, staring at him with teasing eyes, "Could it be that you two have some secret you don't want me to know?"
In fact, Qin Yingxue could roughly guess what was going on, and she wanted to test whether Song Yanchuan would hide anything from her.
“Yingxue…” Song Yanchuan rubbed his temples helplessly after being misunderstood by Qin Yingxue. “There’s really nothing between us. I didn’t know she was talking nonsense before she left. I guess she just wanted to make us unhappy.”
"Oh? Is that so?" Qin Yingxue's heart skipped a beat, and a disbelieving expression appeared on her face.
It seems that Song Yanchuan really doesn't like Jiang Linlin and never takes her words to heart.
"She said I would be ambushed and killed during a mission four months later..." Song Yanchuan regretted saying it as soon as it left his mouth.
Why would he say something that's completely fabricated?
It only adds to your troubles!
But why would Jiang Linlin know about Stone Cave Island?
That island is remote and infested with ferocious wild animals; even fishermen from nearby islands have to avoid it when they go out to sea...
A soft, fair hand suddenly grasped Song Yanchuan's large hand, bringing him back from his wandering thoughts. He squeezed the small hand back and said with a smile, "Jiang Linlin is cursing me because she can't stand seeing me doing well..."
Song Yanchuan was joking, but before he could finish speaking, Qin Yingxue covered his mouth with her hand: "Don't talk nonsense! It's better to believe it than not. We should respect life, and you have to be responsible for yourself and me."
As Qin Yingxue finished speaking, she rested her head on his shoulder and hugged his waist from behind: "Song Yanchuan, you have to promise me that you will take good care of yourself and accompany me through the rest of my life."
"Okay!" Song Yanchuan felt the trembling of the person behind him and suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart. He said in a hoarse voice, "I promise you, I will stay with you until we grow old, and we will never be apart!"
He knew that his words had frightened her.
Song Yanchuan wanted to slap himself a few times right now. Why couldn't he hold back and say it out loud?
The two snuggled together, the atmosphere quiet and warm.
Jiang Linlin had already reminded him, and he had promised to take good care of himself. So even if Song Yanchuan still didn't believe Jiang Linlin, he must have already kept that matter in his heart!
From now on, I'll be by his side. Even if I can't accompany him on missions, my occasional reminders will always make him take it to heart.
As for the others, Qin Yingxue couldn't make it too obvious.
To put it bluntly, if Song Yanchuan doesn't value his own life, even if she wanted to snatch him from the jaws of death, she wouldn't be able to.
The next day, Qin Yingxue and Song Yanchuan went to the county town early in the morning.
Tomorrow, Song Yanchuan will take her with him to the island with the army. He will mail some clothes that need to be brought, as well as bottles and jars brought by the Qin and Song families. In addition, Song Yanchuan will have a farewell banquet with Xu Guohua and Chen Jialiang.
Qin Yingxue came along not only to see Qian Xiaofeng and his sister, but also for another purpose: to visit the scrap metal recycling station in the county town.
Yesterday she discovered that although Qin Dajiang was quick-witted, he lacked experience.
She planned to go to the waste recycling station to see if there were any useless newspapers or books for him to read when he had free time.
For the female protagonists in those period novels, finding discarded antique gold and silver jewelry at a recycling station was a standard feature.
Both were reborn, but Jiang Linlin had better luck than her.
Possessing a system, one is omnipotent.
And what about her? She only had one online store, and no matter what she did, she had no instructions and had to rely entirely on herself.
Qin Yingxue always felt that the system must have made a mistake. She was supposed to be a leading lady, but all she could do was make money and nothing else.
However, one thing was similar to the novel she was reading: the gatekeeper of the purchasing station was an old man. Because of the hot weather, before even entering the purchasing station, she saw swarms of flies and had an indescribable smell.
Yes, to put it nicely, it's in the scrap metal recycling industry; to put it bluntly, it's just unwanted garbage.
How could young people possibly come to work in this place?
"Grandpa, I'd like to find some old newspapers to wallpaper the walls," Qin Yingxue said with a sweet smile, pulling out a handful of fruit candies.
"Go in and find it yourself." The old man waved his hand dismissively, without even lifting his eyelids.
Qin Yingxue said "Ai" and pushed the door open to go in.
The large courtyard was piled high with waste materials.
Most of the furniture was broken and old, along with various pieces of wood and iron of indeterminate age. Newspapers and textbooks were piled up in the corners, sticking together from the wind and sun, making the writing illegible.
Qin Yingxue carefully walked to the corner and began to search.
Several textbooks were intact, but they were stained with an unidentified substance that looked yellowish and resembled some kind of mixture...
Qin Yingxue's hands trembled, and she quickly dropped it.
After searching through them, I finally picked out a stack of old newspapers that were passable. Textbooks were a rare commodity in the 1980s; apart from those few, there wasn't a trace of any others.
Undeterred by not finding Qin Yingxue, she decided to buy old textbooks from the mall.
As soon as Qin Yingxue stood up, her eyes lit up when she saw the pile of old furniture out of the corner of her eye.
If she wasn't mistaken, that limping desk was made of pear wood!
Oh wow! She does have lucky moments too?
Qin Yingxue walked over with difficulty, carrying the newspaper. After confirming that it was indeed made of pear wood, she looked around to make sure no one was there, and then put the desk into her spatial storage.
With a "thud," a small wooden box fell down from some corner.
