“I picked it up.” Yan Fei was unusually lazy, seeming a bit low-spirited.
“Where did you pick it up?
Why do you always run into good luck, I have never picked up anything.” the girl wondered.
“The owner of the paper factory ran away, I just happened to be there last night when everyone was taking things, so I picked up so paper.”
“Is that true?
Weren’t you told not to go there?
Are you trying to scare to death?”
“No worries, there really are no pythons anymore.”
“You…
forget it, I won’t talk about you!” Xu Xiaoyan glared at him with a huff.
“What do you need all this paper for, anyway?”
“To use!
I grabbed these two bundles for you to use at school, so you don’t have to begrudge buying exercise books.
I bet college studies require a lot of paperwork.
I can’t even begin to imagine how much howork you’ll have.”
“Will I need so many?” The girl was speechless.
The paper from the paper factory, the bundles, aren’t they huge?
“Hey…
I say, Yan Xiaofei, why are you so out of breath?
Are you this tired just from carrying a bit of paper?”
“There’s a room full in the west house, can’t fit it all, there’s even more in other places, I’ve stashed it away.”
“Wow!
So many!
How much more?
Have you beco rich?” The girl was alittle bit taller, she took a look, gave out a cry of surprise, then ran back.
“Yeah!” Yanfei nodded in a half-dead manner.
“If you are wealthy, why aren’t you energetic?”
“Yeah!” He continued in a half-dead manner.
“You…”
“Really tired, I have run many tis!
I haven’t stopped, and now I can’t even stand.” Seeing that the girl was getting anxious, Yanfei quickly explained.
“Then why don’t you take a rest?
I’ll cook.
Hurry up, go lie down.” Once she heard this, the girl pushed him out of the kitchen then took over his tasks.
Yanfei laid on the bed, his mind still filled with the events of last night.
As soon as he heard the old man say that the water he had drunk was laced with rat poison, Yanfei knew that the old man couldn’t be saved.
The rat poison commonly used nowadays is called ‘Poisonous Mouse Strength’.
Despite the small size of the thumb-sized vial costing only a di, everyone knows it’s powerful.
It can not only kill rats, but one vial is also more than enough to kill soone.
Among those who commit suicide in rural areas, most of them drink this.
Once swallowed, there is no need for any attempt of rescue, they can directly go and order their coffins.
Especially since the old man was already at death’s door, he died very quickly.
After the old man died, the crowd remained noisy for a while, shouting for Boss Yang to pay for his life, but was finally persuaded by the police to calm down.
When the crowd left and the police and Boss Yang returned, there wasn’t anyone left to guard the factory since it was said that the old man who had just died had no relatives around.
Actually, there was nothing good left since anything that could be moved was already taken.
But what others couldn’t move, Yanfei could.
When the patrolling people went to the riverside again and after they had walked far away, Yan Fei got busy.
Although he was initially very annoyed with the senile old man, watching the old man die from drinking mouse poison and hearing what the old man had said made Yan Fei feel slightly unsettled.
So he vented this discomfort on physical labor.
Wherever he was, whatever he saw, he transported everything.
Anything that couldn’t be moved – in Yanfei’s eyes, there was nothing that couldn’t be moved.
Just how much did he move?
Anyway, that place now looks almost like an empty plot.
Right, a certain person who felt bothered did a thorough job.
A humanoid monster equivalent to an excavator, bulldozer, and crane exhibited extraordinary efficiency.
Even the wood for building fras and bricks for walls weren’t left in high numbers.
These things aren’t particularly useful.
It was just a way for him to vent his frustrations.
All the junk was scattered all over Vegetable Garden Island, the small blacksmith shop, the vegetable field outside, the cave, it was all a ss.
He was too rushed to take a closer look, so he just dumped them there for now!
While eating, Xu Xiaoyan asked him, “Yan Xiaofei, you’re not planning to save all this paper for your own schoolwork, are you?”
“I haven’t decided yet.
I think I won’t even write that much in a sester, and all this paper, plus what you’ll probably never run out of in your lifeti.” Yan Fei surprisingly mocked himself.
“Haha!” The girl laughed.
“You certainly know yourself well!
I just thought of a way, we could sell this paper to schools, just those around our town would be enough.
If they don’t buy all of it, we can go to the county to sell it.
We won’t have to do anything else before the school year starts, just sell these papers.”
Although the town isn’t big, there are quite a few schools including No.2 Junior High School, which starts enrolling students at the beginning of the school year, there’s a primary school, two junior high schools, and a high school.
Such a number of schools use a considerable amount of paper.
“Can you sell it?” Yan Fei was a bit skeptical.
“I’m not going to go butter up those teachers, you should sell it yourself if you want to, this paper is all yours now, you can use the money for living expenses.”
“Don’t worry!
I practically know all the teachers in our small town, I’m sure I can sell a huge part first.” Xu Xiaoyan was all confidence.
“I’ll treat this as my sumr student job, I don’t need all the money, just split half with .”
The two had no idea how much money the paper could fetch, but they started to divvy up the profits anyway.
“Suit yourself!” Seeing the girl ready for a serious fight, Yan Fei let her do as she pleased.
The incentive to make money was an incredibly powerful catalyst for the girl, after eating she did nothing but get ready to go: “Yan Xiaofei, I might not co back to stay for a couple of days, I’ll stay at my house first to avoid them saying I never co ho.
I’ll first go ask around at the schools near my house, not sure how many teachers are around during sumr vacation!”
“If it doesn’t work out, no worries, it’s not like we’re short on cash.
If no one wants it we can just use it ourselves, in the future we’ll write in calligraphy, one character per page, we’ll be sure to use it all.” Yan Fei ca out with a ridiculous idea.
“No, this is my sumr life challenge, I will succeed.” The girl didn’t listen to his nonsense.
“Right, I almost forgot about this, I’ve been sick of looking at your dog crawl-like handwriting for a while now.
Conveniently, now we have so much paper, when you have nothing to do, practice your handwriting for , I won’t ask for too much, just finish those two packs of paper in my room before I go back to school.”
“That…” Yan Fei didn’t expect his own nonsense to backfire, he didn’t know what to say for a mont.
“What do you an ‘that’, I won’t take no for an answer.
You can stay awake all night if you want, practice in the day and at night, it’s just a bit of paper.
Didn’t you just say to write in calligraphy?
You can practice with a ballpoint pen in the dayti, and practice calligraphy at night, you’ll definitely use it quickly.” The girl proudly blocked Yan Fei’s mouth with his own words.
“I have actual work to do!” Yan Fei protested.
“What actual work could you have?
Anyway, I don’t care, hmm, that much paper is indeed a bit too much!
In that case, write ten pages with a ballpoint pen and twenty in calligraphy a day.
Rember!
I’ll co to check when I co back.” The girl flicked her ponytail and prepared to leave.
“Go go go, hurry and push the motorbike to send back, I need to start my plan in the morning.”
On the way to send this girl ho, she kept stressing that he has to practice his handwriting properly, he’s not allowed to cause trouble, and she will check when she returns.
“Rember, get straight to practicing when you get back.” The girl got off the bike and reminded him one last ti.
After all, when this guy has nothing to do, he runs around causing trouble, who knows what ss he could get into.
Previously he had encountered cattle thieves out and about, not to ntion lately he’s started encountering pythons, coming across a paper factory being torn down and divided up, just thinking about that scene doesn’t bring any peace of mind.
How could every affair run into him, it really doesn’t give one peace of mind!
“I genuinely have sothing to do!” Yan Fei tried to argue again.
“Just ten pages of ballpoint pen handwriting, and twenty pages of calligraphy, it really won’t delay you from anything.” The girl insisted.
“Anyway, I can’t let you have free ti to ss around.
Right, I’ll go ho and see if there’s a copybook for you to trace, you just look at the big characters on the sumr howork cover and practice yourself for now, when I find a copybook, I’ll send it to you.”
“Alright then, I have sothing to do in the dayti, I’ll practice at night.” Yan Fei finally gave in.
“Do you really have sothing to do?
What’s the deal during the day?” Hearing Yan Fei say this, Xu Xiaoyan finally believed that he actually ‘had sothing to do’, only then did she ask what it was.
“I plan to go sweep the roads.” Yan Fei grinned.
“Sweep the roads?” Xu Xiaoyan was taken aback by what he said.
“You’re not planning to do sothing bad, right?
I don’t get a good vibe from that expression.”
“Definitely sothing good.
You better get going!” Yan Fei urged.
“Alright, I’ll leave you be, rember, you’re not allowed to do anything bad!” Xu Xiaoyan waved her hand at him.
“Rember, you have to practice.”
“I know, you take your ti going ho.
If you can’t sell the paper…” Watching the girl’s retreating figure, Yan Fei shouted out.
He then muttered to himself: “When the road isn’t smooth soone needs to fix it, there’s always rubbish that annoys people, it’s a sha under the open sky.
Heaven may not have eyes, but I do.
Whatever affects my girl’s mood, it annoys my eyes, I need to take care of it.”
After muttering to himself, the motorcycle turned around, dashing towards the cattle farm.
Arriving at the cattle farm, he instructed Fang Xiaoqing to watch the sales of the wine, in the reluctant eyes of Fang Xiaoqing, he hands off and heads out.
The events of last night had indeed shaken him, making him determined to resolve so things that he had not thought through, planning to get ahead of them.
If the girl knew what he was going to do, she might not be so eager to sell the paper.
As she was discussing how to contact schools to sell the paper with her two older sisters at ho, Yan Fei had leisurely arrived at the provincial road, and then flagged down a passenger bus heading for the provincial city.
He waited for soone to haggle the price, and then also took out eighteen yuan, paid it, and went to the back to find a seat where he closed his eyes and rested.
