As soon as the two arrived at the eucalyptus forest, Li Xiangyang handed the stall to Yang Zhigang and left.
Lin Lan saw Zhao Dehai helping Yang Liying carry tofu and Yang Liying came to the eucalyptus forest carrying tofu.
Zhao Dehai said: "Lin Lan, all the bricks, cement and clay have been sent to the store in the south of the city."
Lin Lan said gratefully: "Thank you, third brother-in-law. How much is the total? I will give the money to third sister later."
Zhao Dehai mentioned a number, Lin Lan wrote it down, and left after seeing him helping Yang Liying set up the stall.
Lin Lan walked to Yang Liying's stall: "Third sister, have you discussed it yet?"
Yang Liying's voice was a little low: "Your brother-in-law said that it is inconvenient in the mountains, and he is afraid that if something happens, he won't allow me to go."
Lin Lan said: "The medical conditions in the mountains are not as good as those in Lexing, and midwives are required to deliver babies. The hospital is in Dashiqiao Commune, and after the ferry is out of service, only small sampans can cross the river."
Yang Liying took a deep breath: "I'll think about it carefully when I go back." She was also afraid that if something happened, Xiaoli and Xiaoyun would commit evil.

Lin Guoliang and Zhou Shitou took a car to the door of Lin Lan's house.
Zhou Shitou looked at the green rapeseed in the field and said with envy: "Not only is the road here flat, but the crops are also good."
Lin Guoliang nodded: "Yes, Lexing is the brigade closest to Dongshi."
Qiao Hui and Lin Yuezhen came out of the house, saw Zhou Shitou and Lin Guoliang, and shouted happily: "Brother, cousin, you are here!"
"Hey!" Zhou Shitou looked at Qiaohui who was newly dressed and looking much better. He felt that the water outside was nourishing.
Lao Chen got out of the car and helped unload the old pumpkins and dry goods on the roof rack of the car.
Lin Guoliang saw off Lao Chen and went back to Zhou Shitou and said, "Let's go to the eucalyptus forest where Xiaolan sets up a stall."
Zhou Shitou nodded and said to Qiaohui: "Work hard and don't be lazy."
Qiao Hui said coquettishly: "I understand, brother."
Lin Guoliang took Zhou Shitou to the eucalyptus forest. When he saw more and more people setting up stalls in the forest, he smiled and pointed Lin Lan's stall to Zhou Shitou.
Zhou Shitou looked at the various vendors in the forest with curiosity, feeling that the outside and the mountains were two different worlds.
Lin Guoliang pulled him to Lin Lan's stall. Seeing her busy picking up cakes for customers, he smiled and stood behind the cart. He waited until she finished her work before calling her: "Xiao Lan, you are still busy!"
Lin Lan looked up at the two of them in surprise and said with a smile: "Brother, cousin, when did you arrive?"
Lin Guoliang smiled and said: "We have stood behind you and watched for a while. Xiangyang didn't come to set up a stall today?"
"Xiang Yang went to buy materials." Lin Lan looked at Zhou Shitou, "Cousin, have you pulled out all the pumpkins?"
"They've all been pulled out. We also collected some dried mushrooms and fungus." Zhou Shitou said, taking out a notebook and handing it to Lin Lan, "Cousin, this is what the people on the team asked me to buy. Could you please help me read it?
look."
Lin Lan took it and looked at it. There was a homespun cloth, a machete, a sickle, a kitchen knife, an iron pot, the most salt, the least needles and thread, rheumatism and pain relieving ointment, bone-setting water, and anti-fever and cold medicine.
"If I don't have a ticket for the ironware, I have to ask Xiangyang to help find someone to buy it, but the price is a bit more expensive. Salt, needles, thread, and needles can be found in the forest. You have to go to the city hospital to get the medicine."
"It's more expensive, as long as you can buy it." Zhou Shitou said, taking out a stack of cloth tickets from his pocket and handing them to Lin Lan, "There are cloth tickets, Xiaolan, can you help everyone buy them?"
Homespun?"
Lin Lan glanced at Zhou Xiaohong opposite, then turned to look at Zhou Shitou: "Are you going to buy the salt and needle and thread according to the quantity listed here, or do you need to prepare more?"
Zhou Shitou thought for a moment: "Prepare more salt and thread, and more needles."
Lin Lan nodded, took the order and went to the opposite side, asking Li Wu to help prepare the salt. He also asked Sister Fan, who sold needle and thread, to help prepare the needle and thread and bring it to her stall.
Finally, I went to Zhou Xiaohong’s place and asked in a low voice: “Sister Zhou, does Sister Li still sell processed fabrics?”
Zhou Xiaohong looked at Lin Guoliang and Zhou Shitou standing behind Lin Lan's stall, and whispered: "I don't know if there is any. What kind of fabric do you want to buy? After closing the stall, I will accompany you to take a look."
"Thank you, Sister Zhou," Lin Lan looked at her gratefully, "They have cloth tickets and want to buy homespun cloth."
Zhou Xiaohong rolled her eyes: "Ha'er, you can give the cloth ticket to Li Wu and ask him to help you find homespun cloth. It's still cheaper!"
Lin Lan patted his head, "I really didn't know that Li Wu could find homespun cloth." Then he went to Li Wu's place and said, "Brother Li, let me tell you something."
Li Wu smiled and said, "Say."
Lin Lan pointed at Zhou Shitou, took out the cloth ticket from his pocket and handed it to him: "He is my cousin. This is the cloth ticket they brought. Can you help me change it for some homespun cloth?"
Li Wu nodded cheerfully: "Okay, bring it to me and I can give it to you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Brother Li." Lin Lan went to Zhou Shitou to get the list, and gave the list with the color and quantity of the homespun cloth to Li Wu. "It's a bit fragmented, please excuse me."
Li Wu looked at the list and saw that they were all blue, dark blue, and earthy white. He smiled and said: "These colors are the best to buy. I will send homespun cloth and salt to your home tomorrow morning."
Lin Lan said again: "Thank you, thank you."
Li Wu said with a smile: "Xiao Lin, everyone is not an outsider, so don't be polite."
After a while, Sister Fan also brought the needle and thread, and told Lin Lan with a smile that the price she gave her was the wholesale price.
After Lin Lan thanked him, Zhou Shitou took the money and paid it to Sister Fan. After comparing it, he felt that the price of buying it in Dongshi was indeed cheaper than buying it in Dashiqiao.
Seeing that Lin Lan had already arranged the goods, Lin Guoliang smiled and said to Zhou Shitou: "Tou Shitou, I will take you for a tour of the city."
"Okay!" Zhou Shitou nodded repeatedly.
Lin Lan pointed to the bicycle and said to Lin Guoliang: "Brother, you go ride a bike."
"Okay!" Lin Guoliang pushed his bicycle and took Zhou Shitou shopping.
After the two left, Lin Lan went to the pork stall to buy pork belly and pig trotters from Yang Zhigang.
Yang Liying sent two more pieces of tofu over: "Is the Shishanling you went to last time the same cousin's house?"
Lin Lan nodded: "Their place is remote and the conditions are very poor."
Yang Liying sighed: "The higher the mountains, the worse the conditions are."
She was thinking that if Zhao Dehai agreed, she would go to Shilian with Brother Lin Lan. If that didn't work, she would go to Shishanling.
Lin Lan understands Yang Liying's dilemma. She can give her advice on other matters, but this matter must be decided by her and her husband.
An hour later, Lin Guoliang and Zhou Shitou came back from the street, and Lin Lan gave the two meat and vegetables to take back.
At five o'clock, everyone started to close the stall. When Lin Lan saw Zhao Dehai coming, she didn't go to help Yang Liying.
Lin Lan closed the stall and went home, where she saw Lin Yuezhen making pig's trotters stewed with kelp, braised pork, and twice-cooked pork with garlic sprouts. She then rode to the Second Team to buy braised duck and braised pig head meat.
When he got home, Li Xiangyang also came back and promised to go to the blacksmith shop tomorrow morning to help Zhou Shitou buy a machete and sickle.
