Lin Mo looked at Han Bao who was sleeping soundly, thinking about her previous plan, and turned back into the space. She took out two pieces of black fine cotton cloth from the pure cotton defective cloth she had bought before, and went to her sundries room on the second floor to find out a large bag of widened bandages (commonly known as elastic bands) and a large bag of Velcro (also called paste), which were also bought when she bought things online before to complete the order.

Thinking of the tool kit he bought on a whim, Lin Mo dug out the three big packages of hairpin tool kits that he disliked in the corner of the warehouse. Each of these big packages contained a hundred small packages, and they were the most popular cream glue hairpin tool kits on the Internet.

Each of them contained a bare hairpin, a bag of cream glue, and various small decorations that could be placed on the cream glue. As for why Lin Mo bought three full bags of 100 each, it was because the cream glue and blank hairpins in each bag were different in style!

As for why Lin Mo found this material package from the corner of the warehouse, it can only be said that Lin Mo's eyes and hands were out of sync. Her eyes had learned to feel that many things were simple, but when she bought the materials, her hands told her that they had not learned them.

That's why there are so many strange things in her storage room, but these things can become rare treasures in her era, such as these blank hairpins, and those bandages and Velcro.

Thinking that she shouldn't be too ostentatious at once, Lin Mo took 20 empty hairpins and a sample bow hairpin that she had thought was particularly beautiful, and left the space with two large bags of bandages and Velcro and two pieces of black cotton cloth.

Going to the backyard to get a large backpack, Lin Mo tied up the defective cloth he had prepared (two rolls of black pure cotton, two rolls of dark blue Dacron) and put them aside. Then he stuffed a bag of rags, a bag of wide bandages, and a bag of Velcro into the large backpack, and put twenty empty hairpins and the sample hairpins he had prepared into his cross-body bag.

Looking at the large backpack, a large basket and four bundles of cloth on the table, Lin Mo thought about his almost zero fighting power. He glanced at his watch and saw that it was already past six o'clock. Lin Mo decisively carried Han Bao out to ask for help.

Arriving at his uncle Wang Jianshe's house, Lin Mo saw his cousin Liu Paner coming back to cook, as expected. Lin Mo quickly opened the gate and said to Liu Paner, "Cousin, you're back to cook?"

When Liu Paner saw Lin Mo holding Hanbao, she quickly wiped her freshly washed hands and face with a towel, took two quick steps to Lin Mo's side, took Hanbao in her hand, and said to Lin Mo with a smile: "Momo, you're here. I was going to pick up Hanbao from your house after I finished washing! How is it, did this kid bother you?"

"No! Hanbao is so good. Cousin, don't cook today. I've already made it. Come back with me and help me carry the things over! I can't carry them."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Liu Pan'er took a big step back while holding Han Bao, and said in fear: "Mo Mo, you can keep the meal you cooked for yourself, I'm also preparing to cook!"

"Ah?" Lin Mo looked at Liu Pan'er, who was smiling just now, and suddenly looked at her in horror. She was still a little confused, but when she heard Liu Pan'er's words, she understood instantly.

Before, he found an excuse to treat his uncle's family to a meal and didn't let Liu Pan'er cook. He asked his uncle's family to have a meat-filled meal at his house. It was probably because her aunt Lin Da Niu came back and scolded Liu Pan'er for this matter. Liu Pan'er was most afraid of Lin Da Niu getting angry, so she showed this expression now

Lin Mo quickly explained: "Cousin, your aunt will definitely not say anything to you this time. Today you helped me teach Bai Ruanruan a lesson, and my aunt can't praise you enough! And today I really need your help with something!"

Seeing Lin Mo's resolute expression, Liu Pan'er finally softened her attitude and asked uncertainly, "Really? Mother-in-law won't scold me this time?"

Lin Mo nodded firmly. Looking at Lin Mo's expression, Liu Pan'er gritted her teeth and believed it. When she learned that Lin Mo had a lot of things to take, Liu Pan'er first put Han Bao in her room, wrapped him in a small quilt, and then went to Lin Mo's house with Lin Mo.

When Liu Paner saw the four pieces of cloth, a large backpack and a large basket on the table in the main hall of Lin Mo's house, she instantly shook her head like a rattle and refused to take these things no matter what.

Seeing that Liu Paner had misunderstood, Lin Mo could only tell Liu Paner what he was thinking: "Cousin, these things are the materials I want you to help me make something with, not for your family, so don't resist like that."

"Momo, what are you going to do? How can you use four pieces of cloth? Now each piece of cloth is a hundred feet long."

Cousin, you also know that after my parents passed away, my father's comrades-in-arms gave me a lot of money and notes. I wanted to give them something in return. I thought about the hard training they have to do every day, so I wanted to make two pairs of knee pads for each of them."

"What are knee pads?" Although Liu Paner's family lived in the county, she had never heard of such a thing.

Lin Mo quickly told Liu Paner about the method and function of the knee pads that she had seen in modern times. After listening to Lin Mo's description, Liu Paner roughly understood the method of making the knee pads.

But looking at these four pieces of cloth, he still felt that it was a bit too much, so he asked Lin Mo: "Momo, how many pairs of knee pads are you going to make? Isn't it a bit too much to buy so much cloth?"

"It's not much. At the beginning, when my father died, 500 uncles donated money to me. Later, the soldiers who sent my parents back gave me donations from all the military officers above the battalion level in their army. I calculated that there were about 100 people. I wanted to give two pairs of knee pads to each person, so I had to make at least 1,200 pairs of knee pads.

Besides, we can keep some at home, and I have some friends who need them, so I want you, my cousin, to help me make 1,500 pairs of knee pads.

Of course I won't let you sew by hand. Wait until the autumn harvest is over in a few days. When I go to school in the county, ask my cousin to go with me to buy a sewing machine. Then you can do it. I will give you 20 cents for each set. Is this okay, cousin?"

"No, no." When Liu Paner heard Lin Mo say that he would give her labor fees, she quickly waved her hands and said no.

"Listen to me, cousin! If it was just one or two pairs, it would be impossible for me to pay you for the labor. But 1,500 pairs! That's too much. I think it will take you a long time to make these things. I can't let you work for nothing."

"But this is too much! A pair costs 20 cents, and 1,500 pairs cost 300 yuan. It's too much. I can't take it." Liu Pan'er also attended high school, so of course she knew the price after calculating in her mind and quickly refused.

"But cousin, making these things is very time-consuming and tiring for your eyes. I can't let you help me for free. Now you have to pay someone two cents to make clothes!"

"But how big is this pair of knee pads? Besides, you're going to buy a sewing machine, so it won't take me much time."

Finally, after an extreme struggle between the two, the deal was made at a price of 1 cent for each pair of knee pads, and Lin Mo's first return gift was finalized.
