I stole the chanes to be the Female lead

Chapter 115: Going to the Market (2)

Looking at the lively crowd, Lin Mo asked Lin Daniu in confusion: "Aunt, isn't free trading prohibited now? Why is it so lively here? Aren't you afraid of those people?"

When Lin Da Nv heard Lin Mo's question, she smiled and answered Lin Mo: "Isn't the New Year coming soon? This fair is held within the scope of national permission. We have worked hard for a year, and the country sympathizes with us farmers. In order to let us have a good New Year, every year after the autumn harvest, we can hold such a fair so that we can barter goods?

You can bring extra things from your home here to exchange with others. Of course, if you don't have anything to exchange, you can secretly use the money to buy something, but you can't buy in large quantities, otherwise if those people find out, it will be bad for any of us."

After listening to what Lin Danniu said, Lin Mo understood the twists and turns here, so he didn't say much and followed Lin Danniu to the marke

This fair was jointly organized by Hongqi Commune and several nearby communes, so many villagers came to exchange supplies. Lin Mo looked at the bustling and lively scenes, listened to the hawking and shouting at the stalls, and watched the laughter of children in the crowd, and a big smile bloomed on the corners of her mouth.

Looking at the various supplies that were bought, um, exchanged at each stall, Lin Mo didn't know where to look. The things on the stalls here were so rich!

From food, daily necessities, to clothing, bedding, there are things in the pot, in the house, and in the field. Anyway, anything from small things like needles and thread to big things like fences for farm work can be exchanged.

Lin Mo was walking and strolling when he suddenly noticed that there was a stall in front of him surrounded by people. Lin Mo hurried over to see what the stall was selling.

"Oh! It's frozen pears and frozen apples!" Lin Mo looked at the things sold on the stall and couldn't help but exclaimed.

Seeing this, Lin Da Nv, who was beside her, asked Lin Mo: "Momo, do you want to eat this? Auntie can change it for you?"

When Lin Da Nv said she wanted to change something for her, Lin Mo was surprised to find that the backpack that Lin Da Nv had been carrying was not empty, but contained something. Lin Mo took a look and found that it was two cloth bags, so he asked Lin Da Nv:

"Aunt, what are you carrying?"

"This is the refined rice and flour we got this year. We originally wanted to keep it for you, but we saw you bought a lot of food some time ago, so we thought of bringing it out today. If you need anything, you can use it to exchange. Don't underestimate these things, but in this market, these refined rice and flour are hard currency!"

Hearing Lin Mo asking herself, Lin Da Nv explained to Lin Mo in a low voice, and finally generously told Lin Mo that she could exchange whatever he needed.

After hearing this, Lin Mo quickly shook his hand and refused: "Aunt, no, I have money. Didn't you just say that I can exchange it with money? You can take these things home and keep them for yourself, or you can exchange them for something your family needs.

"Momo, we still have a lot at home! Here, refined rice and flour are much more useful than money. Don't argue. Just listen to me this time. The New Year is coming soon. Your aunt will buy you something. If you don't want it, I will be angry."

After hearing what Lin Da Nv said, Lin Mo stopped arguing. Lin Mo looked at the refined rice and refined flour in Lin Da Nv's backpack. Anyway, the two things added together were not much, and they should not be able to exchange for many things. After Lin Da Nv's refined rice and refined flour were exchanged, she would spend money to buy them. At that time, they would share the things in half and no one would take advantage of the other.

But Lin Mo still underestimated the value of the refined rice and flour in this market. Lin Mo, who was originally full of confidence, still had a look of disbelief when he and Lin Danv got on the ox cart after visiting the market.

Just now, Lin Mo and Lin Danv went around the market from beginning to end, and exchanged ten kilograms of refined rice for forty kilograms of frozen pears and apples.

Ten kilograms of refined rice were exchanged for eight kilograms of peanuts, melon seeds, sesame seeds and sugar, one kilogram of refined flour was exchanged for three kilograms of tofu, and five kilograms of refined flour was exchanged for five kilograms of blood sausage.

Two pounds of fine flour were exchanged for four pounds of fried meatballs, two pounds of fine flour were exchanged for eight half-pound yams, and ten pounds of fine flour were exchanged for a rabbit weighing about five pounds.

After walking around like this, whatever Lin Mo wanted to buy was bought by Lin Da Nv. Although there was some bargaining sometimes, in the end Lin Da Nv exchanged the 20 kilograms of fine rice and 20 kilograms of fine flour she brought for a full basket of things.

By the time the two of them returned to the Red Flag Brigade on the wobbly ox cart, it was already noon, so Lin Danniu directly dragged Lin Mo back to her home for lunch.

What else could Lin Mo do? Of course he followed Lin Da Niu back home. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw Liu Paner carrying a pot of potatoes and beans stewed from the kitchen.

When Liu Paner saw the two of them coming back, she quickly greeted them warmly, "Mom, Momo, you're back just in time. Hurry up and wash your hands. We can eat soon."

After hearing what Liu Pan'er said, the two of them hurried to the kitchen to get hot water from the pot, washed their hands, and helped Liu Pan'er bring the remaining food, rice, and bowls and chopsticks from the kitchen into the house.

After the food and dishes were ready, Wang Jianshe also returned from the fields. Although the autumn harvest was already over and there was nothing more to do in the fields, Wang Jianshe, as the team leader, still went to the fields every day.

After lunch, Lin Mo took another look at the knee pads made by Liu Paner. Liu Paner had already made the ones that were to be sent to the army and gave them to Lin Mo. Now she was making the ones that Lin Mo requested

Lin Mo looked at Liu Pan'er who immediately sat down at the sewing machine to work after dinner, and advised: "Cousin, you don't have to rush to do these. I won't use them until after the Chinese New Year. There's no need to rush. You can do them when you have time. Don't tire yourself out!"

When Liu Paner heard Lin Mo say this, she stepped on the sewing machine and replied to Lin Mo: "It's okay, I'm not tired. Anyway, I'm free now. I'll be at ease when I finish it for you. Otherwise, I'll think about this in my dreams."

Lin Mo persuaded Liu Paner a few more times, but when he saw that Liu Paner was really not tired, he gave up persuading her.

Seeing Lin Da Nv teasing Han Bao on the kang, Lin Mo also walked over and took the little tiger that Liu Pan'er made for Han Bao using scraps of cloth to play with him.

When Hanbao saw Lin Mo coming over to tease him, he grinned at her. When Lin Mo saw Hanbao smiling at him, he shouted to Lin Da Niu in surprise, "Aunt, aunt, look, look, Hanbao is smiling at me!"

Seeing Lin Mo's surprised expression, Lin Danniu also said with a smile: "Yes! Hanbao smiled at you, which means Hanbao likes you!"

Lin Mo became even happier after hearing what Lin Da Nv said. So for the next afternoon, Lin Mo stayed with Han Bao the whole time. When Han Bao was awake, she would play with him. When Han Bao fell asleep, she would also lie down on the kang in the living room and take a nap.
