Thinking of this, Guodong felt a little regretful. He regretted why he had to come to such a faraway black market in order not to be recognized! But if he hadn't come to such a faraway black market, how could he have met this lady and bought such good refined rice and flour and such hard-to-get milk powder tickets?
Seeing Zhang Guodong was hesitant, Lin Mo asked, "What's wrong with you? Is there something difficult?"
Zhang Guodong glanced at Lin Mo and felt that this elder sister looked quite simple. He then thought about what Lin Mo had just said about her family still having milk powder coupons, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Eldest sister, my home is quite far from here. If you take the bus smoothly, it will take an hour to go back and forth. You see..."
After hearing what Zhang Guodong said, Lin Mo originally wanted to give Zhang Guodong a favor because he was the most generous and happy customer she had ever met. However, because of this sentence, the idea of waiting for him to come back with the money suddenly disappeared!
"What a joke! That's an hour! That's if everything goes well! What if it doesn't go well? She, Lin Mo, doesn't want to wait here like a fool! Even if she is not acting like a fool waiting for him to come back! But where is this place? This is the black market? What a dangerous place! No one can guarantee what will happen in this hour!"
Just when Lin Mo was about to refuse, Zhang Guodong, who was observing Lin Mo's expression, saw that Lin Mo was about to refuse, and spoke first:
"Big sister, this is what happened. I heard you say that your family also had a baby not long ago. To be honest, my family also had a baby just born, but this child was unlucky. He was born without a mother. Now it's been more than a month, and he hasn't had a single sip of milk..."
Lin Mo's heart softened after listening to Zhang Guodong's story, but thinking about his own safety, Lin Mo was still ready to refuse.
Zhang Guodong, who was observing everyone's expressions, saw that this didn't work, so he could only say his last solution:
"Sister, how about this? I see that you have sold out all the things in your backpack, and there is only one milk powder ticket left, so I will reserve it from you.
You just said that your family is not in the county, so you should take a bus back! The county bus station is in the south city, and our family happens to be in the south city. Why don't you come with me to pick it up, and then you can go to the station to take a bus. We can take the bus to pick it up, which is very fast. Sister, do you think this is okay? I will also pay for the round trip fare for you, and I will definitely not let you suffer any loss. "
After saying this, seeing the distrust in Lin Mo's eyes, Zhang Guodong moved closer to Lin Mo, took out a notebook from his jacket pocket and handed it to Lin Mo, and explained:
"Look, this is my work ID. My home is in the steel plant's staff quarters. I'm definitely not a bad person. Just think of it as you have pity on the child."
After listening to Zhang Guodong's words, Lin Mo lowered his head and carefully looked at the small notebook that Zhang Guodong had stuffed into his hand. It was indeed Zhang Guodong's work ID. After looking at the work ID and listening to Zhang Guodong's words, Lin Mo decided to take a risk and go with Zhang Guodong to take a look.
Of course, she went with Zhang Guodong not because she felt sorry for the child, but because Zhang Guodong was a workshop director in the steel plant. Although he was not needed now, she still had to establish a good relationship with him first, in case he might be useful in the future.
And where were they going? The steel plant's family compound! The steel plant was the richest unit of the time. Thinking about the purchasing power of the aunts and young wives in the family compound, Lin Mo felt that the risk was worth it.
Seeing Lin Mo agreed, Zhang Guodong was overjoyed. He quickly picked up a bag of food in each hand and prepared to lead Lin Mo. Seeing Zhang Guodong was about to go to the exit of the black market, Lin Mo grabbed Zhang Guodong's arm and whispered a reminder:
"Brother, next time you come to buy something, remember to carry a basket or a backpack. Otherwise, if you come in empty-handed and leave with two full bags, those red armbands will definitely catch you. Come and lend me my backpack. You can return it to me when you get home!"
As soon as Lin Mo started talking, Zhang Guodong realized that he had originally wanted to come to the black market today to see if there were any milk powder tickets. He didn't want to buy food, so he didn't carry a backpack.
As for why he brought a bag of food, he originally wanted to buy some refined rice and flour as food for his children on the way back, so he even brought the food book with him.
But when passing by Lin Mo, he saw that the refined rice and flour here were much better than those sold at the grain station. Thinking that the better the food for his children, the better, he couldn't help but buy them.
After receiving Zhang Guodong's thanks again, Lin Mo helped Zhang Guodong carry the backpack, and the two of them took the bus in silence all the way to the steel plant's staff quarters.
As soon as he entered the steel plant's staff quarters, Lin Mo finally understood why everyone said that the steel plant was the richest unit in the county and even in the country.
The staff housing buildings of other factories in the county were probably at most two or three stories high, but the staff housing buildings of the steel plant were only five stories high.
Moreover, unlike the common layout of one row of houses on one floor, with toilets on both sides and the kitchen downstairs or in the corridor, the steel plant's staff housing is a standard three-unit-per-floor layout.
As for why Lin Mo knew this, it was because she and Zhang Guodong had already entered the family building. When Lin Mo entered Zhang Guodong's house, she sighed in her heart, "The steel plant is so rich!"
Zhang Guodong's house is on the third floor of this building. The area of the house is about 70 square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom. Although the house is simply whitewashed, it looks very clean and bright.
Zhang Guodong welcomed Lin Mo into the house, first asked his mother who was helping to take care of the children at home to come out and greet Lin Mo, then he hurried into his own bedroom to get money for Lin Mo.
In Zhang Guodong's heart, as long as he didn't get the milk powder ticket from Lin Mo, he would be worried all the time, for fear that Lin Mo would raise the price or suddenly not want to sell it to him.
Of course, what he worried about did not happen. When he took out the money and handed it to Lin Mo, Lin Mo readily gave him the milk powder coupons. When he told Lin Mo that she could sell the remaining milk powder coupons to him at this price when she came to the county town in the future, Lin Mo readily agreed, and took the opportunity to say goodbye to him and left happily.
As for why Lin Mo left so happily, it was of course because when Lin Mo saw the wealthy family compound of the steel plant, she could not wait to earn her second pot of gold here.
Of course, Lin Mo would not continue to sell things here with this image to arouse suspicion. Instead, he found a deserted place, entered the space, and prepared to come out in casual clothes again to buy some other things besides refined rice and noodles.
