Lin Mo and Wang Bai came out of the state-owned hotel and just caught up with the village's ox cart. The two rode the ox cart back to the village. Of course, the money for the ox cart ride was paid by Wang Bai. Although he didn't have much money, he still had some small amount of money for buying tickets for the ox cart ride.

After returning to the brigade, Lin Mo went to his uncle's house for dinner first. After dinner, Lin Mo left the New Year gift he had prepared today. Then, at Lin Da Niu's instruction, he asked Wang Bo to help send her luggage back home.

Of course, this time Lin Mo's reasons were very sufficient, and the price of the New Year gift Lin Mo gave was just within the acceptable range for Wang Jianshe and Lin Danv, so they did not reject Lin Mo's kindness this time. It was just that Lin Danv silently thought in her heart that it was time to hurry up and knit the sweater for Lin Mo.

After seeing off Wang Bai who helped with the luggage, Lin Mo looked at the coal stove that had been lifted up and pressed down by Lin Da Nv, and felt the warm atmosphere in the house. Lin Mo's heart also felt warm, thinking to himself that it was good that someone cared about him!

After putting all the things he brought back into the space, Lin Mo also entered his own house space. He went to the bathroom to take a shower and change into pajamas.

Lin Mo began to organize his supplies. He took off all the sheets, quilt covers and pillowcases he used to cover himself with at school and threw them into the washing machine to wash. Then Lin Mo used the mite-removing vacuum cleaner in the space to wash the quilt, mattress and pillow he brought back this time.

She also put the cakes, melon seeds, peanuts, and candies she had bought to entertain guests during the New Year in their proper places. Although Lin Mo felt that no one would come to her house to pay New Year's greetings this year, she still had to prepare the necessary things. What if?

After Lin Mo had packed up all of these, she ate some fruit and took a rest, then prepared to sort out the money she had earned previously.

In the past, every day at school was too full, so even on holidays, Lin Mo just wanted to lie on the lazy sofa and watch movies, play games, and listen to novels. He didn't want to move at all.

The money she earned from selling tickets on the black market was 2,741 yuan, and the total amount of subsidies she received this month and last month was 100 yuan, plus the 20 yuan she received as a reward for participating in a math competition in the city, and finally the 107 yuan she had left, the total was 2,968 yuan.

But she had spent a lot of money on shopping and eating during this period, so now there were only 2,918 yuan left on Lin Mo's coffee table on the second floor.

Lin Mo bundled up two thousand yuan in bundles of one thousand each and put them into the storage box which previously contained the twenty-three thousand yuan. Lin Mo then bundled up the remaining nine hundred yuan and put it into the drawer of the dressing table.

Anyway, she was not planning to go out during this period of time, so it was enough to keep 18 yuan for pocket money. Besides, Wang Bai would give her 10 yuan after receiving his salary next month, and she could also go to the county to collect her 50 yuan subsidy. But Lin Mo still prepared the 50 yuan per month, and she could collect it together when she went to the county for school. Anyway, the money would not expire, and if she did not collect it in one month, it would be accumulated to the next month. She was not short of money and she was not in a hurry.

As for the supplies she had accumulated in the space during this period, she was not going to sell them in the various family housing estates. She wanted to save them until the start of school and sell them all to Wu Guangming at once, letting him do it! At most, she could give him a little more profit, which was much better and safer than her taking the risk of going out to buy them.

After tidying up the space, Lin Mo saw that it was getting late, so he went to take a bath and sleep.

The next morning, Lin Mo was still sleeping soundly in the space! She heard someone knocking on her door, so she quickly changed her clothes and left the space.

When she arrived at the gate and opened it, she saw her aunt Lin Danniu waiting for her at the door with a basket. This time, Lin Mo remembered that when she was having dinner at her uncle's house yesterday, Lin Danniu seemed to say that there would be a material trading fair organized by farmers today and asked her if she wanted to go.

At that time, Lin Mo was focused on eating the delicious braised pork, and she accepted Lin Danniu's invitation without thinking too much. As a result, she was only thinking about sorting out the supplies last night and forgot about this matter.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo quickly said to Lin Da Niu: "Aunt, please come in and sit for a while. I'll go wash up and be ready soon."

"Don't worry, it's okay. I just came to call you early because I was afraid that you might oversleep. Just take your time to pack." Seeing Lin Mo's look, Lin Da Nv spoke to him in a gentle voice.

Of course Lin Mo nodded obediently and agreed, but her hands were still moving quickly. Because Lin Da Niu was there, it was not convenient for Lin Mo to go back to the space to wash up, so she went directly to the washroom in the yard and washed up with the hot water in the thermos in the main room.

Fortunately, she filled the thermos with water that Lin Da Nv had left on the stove before entering the space yesterday, otherwise she would have to wash her face and brush her teeth with cold water today.

After Lin Mo finished washing up, he came to the living room, put on his cross-body bag, and walked out the door with Lin Da Nv. Lin Da Nv quickly grabbed Lin Mo and pressed him to sit on the kang.

He opened the basket and took out a bowl of thick rice porridge, a plate of pickles and an egg pancake from the basket and handed them to Lin Mo, telling him to have breakfast first as it was still early and there was no need to rush.

Seeing that Lin Da Nv looked at her and said, "I knew you, getting up early and wanting to go out without eating breakfast," Lin Mo glanced at the watch on his wrist and saw that it was only half past six.

Thinking that the oxcart usually departs at 7 or 7:30, Lin Mo was no longer in a hurry. She took the chopsticks handed to her by Lin Da Nv and ate all the breakfast that Lin Da Nv brought her.

Lin Da Nv put all the dishes and chopsticks into the basket she was carrying, and went out with Lin Mo. When they passed by their house again, Lin Da Nv went in and delivered the dishes and chopsticks and the basket, then came out with a backpack on her back and got on the ox cart to the market with Lin Mo.

Lin Mo sat in the ox cart and observed for a while before he determined that the place they were going this time was in the opposite direction of the commune. Seeing Lin Mo's puzzled expression, Lin Danniu explained to her:

"The market we are going to today is jointly organized by several brigades. Since the distances from each brigade to the commune are different, we chose the location in the middle of these brigades to hold the market. Although our distance may be farther than the commune, it will be much fairer than the Huaihua Brigade, which is the farthest from the commune."

After listening to Lin Danniu's explanation, Lin Mo nodded to indicate that he understood. Lin Mo calculated the time and the ox cart traveled for about an hour before finally arriving at the big market where several teams exchanged supplies.

Looking at the rows of wooden platforms with things placed on them, and then at the villagers moving around among them, Lin Mo excitedly jumped off the ox cart.

Although she had visited large markets and even temple fairs in modern times, this was the first time she had seen such a lively and bustling scene.
