Xu Yang did not follow He Yuzhu and the others back to the courtyard house. Instead, he went to a nearby waste collection station.
The scrap collection station was a subsidiary of the scrap company in City 49.
However, there were too many broken bicycles, broken radio sets, and other things in the scrap collection station. This was because items like bicycles and radio were very rare and precious in this era.
Even if the radio was broken, it would not be sold as scrap to the recycling station unless it was really impossible to repair and no one wanted to take it. They would even put them at home as fake decorations.
"Master Hou, do you have a bicycle here?”Xu Yang asked.
"Yes, but what do you want that thing for?”Master Hou asked in confusion.
"I couldn't get a bicycle ticket, so I wanted to try saving one for myself.”Xu Yang said.
"Over there. It was already so rotten that he probably couldn't dig out any good parts. Those who could be deducted had long been taken away by others.”Master Hou was telling the truth.
There were many bicycle repairers in 49 City. Even if there weren't many people who could assemble bicycles, there were always some. If Xu Yang wanted to save a bicycle, how could others not think of it?
Xu Yang looked at the old bicycles. They were really old and shabby.
"Master Hou, can I dismantle some parts from this?”Xu Yang asked.
"Sure, you can deduct whatever you can use. Just give me the money as scrap metal.”Master Hou said.
Xu Yang kept dismantling parts from a pile of dilapidated bicycles, and finally dismantled a lot.
There were many brands of these bicycles, and they were produced by different factories. They were also produced in different eras. Many of them were produced in the previous dynasty, and the oldest ones were even from the Qing Dynasty.
However, Xu Yang was not worried. He tried his best to dig out all the useful parts. As long as the parts were still intact, he would definitely have a way to make these parts useful.
His luck was pretty good. He found a bicycle rack that was relatively complete. It was just that it was bare and there were no accessories.
It was impossible to find a perfect bicycle wheel in a junkyard. Someone else had already taken it away. For a scrapped bicycle, the wheels were the most valuable. This thing was easy to find. It could be bought at the bicycle repair shop, but it was a little expensive. A second-hand wheel would cost at least ten yuan. Two of them would cost more than 30.
Xu Yang put all the useful parts he dug out on a wire and found Master Hou."Master Hou, look at the total price of these parts.”
Master Hou said after a while,"You can take it all for five yuan."”
"Alright, thank you, Master Hou." Xu Yang smiled.
In fact, these things were collected by the purchasing station according to their weight. These parts might only cost two or three yuan.
However, Xu Yang felt that it was worth it. After all, all the parts were in good condition. If he went to the hardware company to buy a brand new one, he might not be able to buy it for 50 yuan.
"Master Hou, did you get the radio?”Xu Yang asked.
"Yes. However, it was not easy to deal with those radio sets. It was a wooden shell on the outside, and there was not much iron inside. They were all piled up over there. The company won't let me take it anymore." Master Hou said.
Xu Yang followed Master Hou and walked over. In the corner of a room, there were more than a dozen different kinds of radio sets, most of which were from the previous dynasty. Many of them were imported from abroad.
In this era, there were not many technicians who could repair a radio. Those who had this ability were usually in the unit. Very few people would specialize in repairs.
Therefore, many of the radio sets could go out of business with just a small problem.
Xu Yang picked a few good-looking and good-looking radio sets.
"Master Hou, I'll take a few back to try and see if I can repair them well. How much do you think it is?" Xu Yang asked.
"It's a total of three yuan. If you need more in the future, come find me here.”Master Hou guessed that Xu Yang wanted to repair the radio and sell it.
"Alright then." Xu Yang paid.
Although he didn't spend much this time, he still spent eight yuan. If he wanted to save up for a bicycle, it would cost him dozens of yuan. His savings were really low.
He didn't expect that he didn't have a good life in his previous life. After transmigrating, he had a cheat and his life was still so sullen.
It couldn't be helped. The main thing was that in such an era, one had to live a little. If one didn't live a little, they really wouldn't live long. No matter how good his martial arts were, he would be knocked down with a single shot.
After he saved up the bicycle, he could go fishing in the park in the future to exchange for some money, or he could repair these few radio sets and sell them on the black market to exchange for some money. The days were not so depressing.
Courtyard.
Ran Qiuye, the form teacher of Banggeng Primary School, came to the courtyard house. The boy was going to attend junior high school next semester, but he had not paid his tuition fees for this semester. The school asked the form teacher to go to the families of the students who owed tuition fees to urge them to pay.
Ran Qiuye was the last to accept this class, so this was the first time she came to the club's home for a home visit.
He walked into the courtyard and saw He Yuzhu.
"Comrade, may I ask which room Jia Geng lives in?”Ran Qiuye asked.
When He Yuzhu saw Ran Qiuye for the first time, his eyes widened.
Ran Qiuye blushed slightly from He Yuzhu's stare.""Comrade. I'm Jia Geng's form teacher. I'm here for a home visit."
"Jia Geng?" You're talking about a great meme, right? Come, I'll bring you there."
He Yuzhu brought Ran Qiuye to the backyard.""Our Third Master Yan Bugui is also a teacher in your school. Do you know him?"
"Of course I do. He's an old teacher in our school and has a lot of teaching experience. He often guides our young teachers.”Ran Qiuye nodded.
"Teacher Ran, you came to the idol's house for a home visit. Did the idol cause trouble again?”He Yuzhu asked.
"No, it's not that. He hadn't paid his tuition fees for this semester. I'm here to collect tuition fees." Ran Qiuye said.
"You haven't paid your tuition fees yet?" He Yuzhu was very surprised. When school started, Qin Huairu had said that she would pay the school fees for the idol and borrowed five yuan from him. In the end, the school fees had not been paid yet!
"Yes, I am. She would be going to junior high school next semester. The school would not issue a graduation certificate without paying the tuition fees. The notice would not be issued either. It would affect the boy's attendance in junior high school.”Ran Qiuye had sent the meme back many times. Other families had almost paid their tuition fees. Some of them had parents who did not have a job. The meme's mother worked in a factory and had not paid her tuition fees.
He Yuzhu's emotions were very complicated. Qin Huairu's words were really not true. He now believed Xu Yang's words even more.
"This is a great joke." He Yuzhu pointed at the Jia family and shouted," Qin Huairu! Teacher Awesome is here for a home visit!"
"Teacher Ran, please come in." Qin Huairu walked out.”
