rebirth good people have good rewards

Chapter 3

At three poles in the sun, Chen Ming rode a brand-new tricycle to the main road of the city. Looking at the countless passers-by hurrying along the road, he felt very at ease in his heart.

The reason why he chose this place was carefully analyzed by Chen Ming last night.

This road is in the center of the city, surrounded by high-rise buildings, commercial streets, and office buildings. It should be regarded as a high-consumption gathering place in the city. In addition to white-collar workers who come to work in this area every day, they also come here for shopping, watching movies and other entertainment. There are also a lot of young people.

His judgment was correct. After just a cursory glance, he saw that almost everyone on the street was holding a drink in their hand. Seeing this scene, Chen Ming's eyes immediately lit up and he pedaled his tricycle into the pedestrian street with confidence.
Two hours later, Chen Ming crouched down on the curb smoking a cigarette, the tricycle behind him was empty, only a dozen or so drink bottles.

He found that he was wrong. The more people were in such a bustling commercial street, the less likely they were to litter everywhere.
As for picking out the drink bottles in the trash can and then throwing them in another trash can, he has also tried this kind of sneaky behavior, but he didn't get a dime
He also considered earning rewards and money from selling scraps, but he gave up after trying to sell them to the scrap station once. Compared with the rewards given by the system, the money was really not worth traveling several kilometers to get a scrap. trip to the junkyard
Looking at the sanitation workers who were patrolling back and forth not far away, Chen Ming sighed, and realized that this street could not be left alone, even if there were fish that slipped through the net, they would clean them up, and it was not his turn at all.
After snuffing out the cigarette butt, Chen Ming got on the tricycle and left this sad place dejectedly, and returned to the urban-rural fringe area. He figured it out, only this place belonged to him.

Sure enough, there are fewer garbage bins in the urban-rural fringe area, so garbage can be seen everywhere on the ground. Although it is not considered dirty, it is indeed much worse than the city center.

After an afternoon of hard work, he has picked up two full carts of garbage. Through continuous experiments, he found that not only beverage bottles, but also other things can be rewarded, but the amount of rewards is different.

For example, plastic bottles cost [-] cents, small pieces of shredded paper only cost [-] cent, and other garbage also ranges from [-] cents to [-] cents. He recorded the rewards corresponding to each kind of garbage in a small book one by one, and roughly summarized There is a set of rules——

The amount of the reward is related to the severity of the pollution caused by the item, and has nothing to do with its own value. It stands to reason that beer bottles should be more valuable than plastic bottles, but the reward is only [-] cents. This should be because it is compared with glass. Plastic is more polluting and more difficult to recycle.

Chen Ming doesn't know much about garbage disposal, but he seems to have seen it on the Internet, saying that it takes many, many years for an ordinary plastic bag to be buried in the ground to decompose, and it seems that plastic products will also be recycled and reused. It produces a lot of air pollution, unlike glass, as long as it is melted and re-fired.

As the saying goes, a sharpened knife will make a difference in chopping firewood. Spending so much money on a tricycle was indeed helpful. He had already picked up two carts of garbage in one afternoon, earning more than 80 yuan!

Although this was still far from the goal in his heart, it at least proved that the direction was right. Chen Ming dumped the second truckload of garbage into a large garbage bin three streets away, and happily continued his garbage recycling business.

Unexpectedly, the good times didn't last long, and soon he met his first competitor.

Glancing at the drink bottles in the woods by the roadside, Chen Ming stopped the tricycle and was about to get off when he saw a vigorous figure rushing across the road at a speed of [-] meters. He had just landed on one foot , the other party has already picked up the bottle on the ground with lightning speed!
Chen Ming took a closer look, and in front of him was a 60-year-old aunt!

This aunt was dressed simply and had some gray hair. The run just now seemed to have made her hair a little messy on her temples. Chen Ming watched her straighten her temples, put the drink bottle in her hand on the ground, and unscrewed the bottle cap with one hand. At the same time, he flattened the bottle with his foot, tightened the bottle cap, and then threw the bottle into the bag on his left hand. Finally, he gave him a contemptuous look and walked away.

Auntie's eyes were full of meaning, apart from the victor's disdain, she also seemed to have contempt for Chen Ming, as if she looked down on him, a young man who also picked up trash like an old man
Chen Ming was ashamed. He suddenly felt that it was a bit funny for him to give up his seat to those uncles and aunts every time he took the bus during the rush hour. is incomparable
Naturally, he couldn't grab the bottle from this aunt, so he could only get on the tricycle again and continue looking for the next target.

Fortunately, the so-called urban-rural fringe area covers a large area. With the development of the city, more and more migrants like Chen Ming are entering the city to work. Self-built houses around the city have also been built one by one. It's the south part of the city where Chen Ming's rental house is located. Even riding a tricycle will take a whole day to get around. Chen Ming is very open-minded. There is no need to compete with this aunt for this bottle in such a big market.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock in the evening that the sky was completely dark and there were almost no pedestrians on the road. Then Chen Ming walked back slowly on three wheels. Today's harvest was more than 120, which was more than twice that of the first day. Although it was far from his original goal, Chen Ming was already very satisfied.

He is not a greedy person. To him, being able to earn more than 100 a day means that he has no worries about food and clothing, and he can also have meat every day. I don't have any relatives, let alone a girlfriend, and the whole family will not be hungry if I eat enough by myself.

On the way home, the vegetable stall downstairs was closing. Chen Ming bought a catty of pork at a very low price, and bought a la carte and a bottle of beer. In his memory, such a sumptuous dinner as tonight Haven't had it for a long time.

Of course, he did not forget the usual help from his neighbors. After the stewed braised pork was finished, he filled more than half of it and sent it to the next door. Brother Zhao and Sister Liu have always treated him well. See how he is living alone. Nervous, he would call him over for dinner every now and then. Their child is only nine years old this year. When he entered elementary school last year, he spent a lot of money because of household registration issues, and he himself was not rich. For this, Chen Ming has always been grateful.

Dip the last bit of soup on the plate with steamed buns, and Chen Ming burps in satisfaction. His alcohol capacity has never been very good, and he is already a little dizzy after a bottle of beer. He is lying on the bed, dreaming about the beautiful future Live, enter dreamland.
Life continues peacefully. Chen Ming's current occupation is actually picking up junk. Although it is not glorious to say it, after experiencing life and death, Chen Ming has long lost his competitive mentality. He doesn't even have the slightest desire. Now he only needs to have enough food every day, and there is nothing wrong with living in a rented house for the rest of his life.

Of course, people without foresight must have near-term worries. At any rate, he is a college student. Although Chen Ming is becoming more and more familiar with picking up junk now, and can earn nearly 200 yuan a day on average, this amount of money is enough to spend when he is healthy. In case one day he gets sick or something, it will definitely not be enough, so he plans to find a company that pays social security on the Internet after a little more time, and spends more than 1000 yuan a month to pay social security, so that it will be considered a guarantee in the future .

The only problem is that recently there are more and more grandpas and aunts who come out to pick up bottles on the street. Before Chen Ming didn't realize that these old men and old ladies appeared every day during the peak hours at noon and evening. Because of them, Chen Ming at least Lost hundreds of dollars!
Moreover, these old men and old ladies have sharp eyesight and quick hands, and they come out to wander the streets after they have nothing to do all day and are full. Chen Ming feels that if this continues, his current income may be further reduced!
must find a way to solve this problem
