Lin Lan pointed to the doll books and notebooks on the counter and shouted: "Salesperson, please come and get them."
The tall and thin salesperson came over, took out the two sets of doll books and notebooks she pointed at from the counter, threw them on the counter twice, and tilted her face impatiently.
"If you want to buy it, read it. If you don't want to buy it, don't read it."
Lin Lan glanced at her lightly: "I want them both." She took a five-dollar bill and put it on the counter.
The salesperson looked at her in surprise, picked up the money on the counter, turned around, found the money and put it on the counter, twisted her butt back and sat down.
The salespersons of this era are awesome.
The one in Xinhua Bookstore is better, and the one or two in the department store are the ones with nostrils turned upward and squinting at people.
Lin Lan packed up the change and handed the doll book to Xiaodouzi: "Mom bought the Chicken Feather Letter and Sun Wukong."
Xiaodouzi happily took it, looked at the colorful cover of Somersault Cloud, and raised his head in surprise: "Mom, the doll book is so beautiful."
Lin Lan nodded and rubbed his head: "This is your book, please keep it well!"
Lin Lan took it and looked at it: "Wait a minute, mom will read it to you while cooking red beans."
After walking through two main streets, we arrived at Shengli Road, turned around two small streets and arrived at the garment factory. We entered from the alley next to the garment factory, walked through a long alley, and arrived in front of an abandoned compound.
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Yes! It's raining so hard!" She remembered that when she was a child, she loved rainy days the most. When it rained, she didn't have to go out to mow the grass. She could play with her little sister at home.
Foreign debts have to be repaid, and roofs are being raked for money... It rained, and we lost more than ten yuan a day!
She looked at Dahei warily and shouted several times at the top of her lungs, but the old lady didn't respond. Fortunately, the four-eyed Dahei didn't pounce on her this time.
She returned home holding an umbrella and closed the courtyard door.
Xiaodouzi opened his eyes: "Mom, Rhubarb is barking!"
Xiaodouzi lay on Lin Lan's shoulder, and the mother and son walked towards Shengli Road in the west of the city.
"Um!"
Fortunately, the canopy bed was covered with a layer of oilcloth, otherwise the quilt on the bed would have been completely wet.
Lin Lan took the somersault cloud and read: "The Monkey King left Huaguo Mountain and climbed a raft in order to visit his teacher and seek enlightenment..."
Thinking of soaking beans in a basin at home, Lin Lan had to go to the firewood shed to pick up a dung bucket to catch the rainwater. She went out to the east wing and saw that the wheat straw roof in the east wing had not leaked yet.
She went up to the eaves of the corridor, put down her backpack and took out Little Douzi: "Mom, my doll's book is in the backpack."
The main room also leaked a puddle of water, and the other main room also leaked.
After reading it, she thought about the two dogs Sun Xiuhua and Zhang Yazhen. If they still bit her and wouldn't let go, she would come here to set up a stall.
Money money money, life is connected.
Xiaodouzi pointed at the doll book: "Mom, what is a raft?"
Lin Lan thought it might be because of the urban area. The people setting up stalls here were more cautious than those in the eucalyptus forest, but they were more organized than the eucalyptus forest.
Although he has the connection of the old lady, he is a widow and Li Xiangyang is a young man. If he asks her for help for a long time, he will definitely be gossiped about.
Lin Lan hurriedly opened the kitchen door, went into the room, and saw that rain had indeed begun to leak in front of the bed. She hurriedly went to get a basin to catch it, and found that rain was also leaking from the top of the bed.
Xiaodouzi followed Lin Lan into the stove and watched her wash the red beans and pour them into the pot, cover the lid and sit under the stove.
"You brat, no wonder there was no sound for a long time."
Xiaodouzi looked at her and narrowed his eyes: "I know!"
Lin Lan suddenly remembered that the roof at home seemed to be leaking. In the memory of the original owner, it was raining heavily outside and light rain inside.
Lin Lan went to the old lady's house with an umbrella, and saw Dahei lying under the eaves of the back door, looking at her eagerly, and couldn't help feeling a little angry.
After tidying up the bed, he said to Xiaodouzi, who was sitting on a bamboo chair reading a doll book, "Xiaodouzi, you are at home. Mommy went to my grandma's house to see if she was back?"
"Oh!" Xiaodouzi quickly and carefully placed the doll on his little instep, lay on Lin Lan's back and hugged her neck: "Mom, it's raining so hard!"
Xiaodouzi came over with the doll book and nestled in her arms: "Mom, read to me."
Lin Lan put him into the carrier and stood up with him on her back: "Baby, let's go to the clothing factory to have a look."
Lin Lan went to the courtyard to look at the roof. The roof was covered with moss and some plants. It looked like the roof had not been renovated or renovated for several years.
"oh!"
When I grow up, I don’t like rain anymore. If it rains, I can’t go out to set up a stall. If I can’t set up a stall, I can’t make money. The past days are repeated here again.
"Not back yet." Lin Lan put down the umbrella and sat down: "Do you understand what is written on it?"
The clothing store's black market is relatively close to the Lexing Brigade. Even if you're fast, you'll have to walk for an hour and a half.
Xiaodouzi didn't even raise his head: "Oh! Come back quickly."
Lin Lan made up her mind and walked back with Xiaodouzi on her back. Halfway through, she noticed that the rain was getting heavier and heavier: "Baby, hold mom, the rain is getting heavier, we have to walk faster."
Zhou Xiaohong said that the four major black markets each occupy a corner, one in the eucalyptus forest, one in Dongzikou, one in a clothing factory, and one in an old house.
The light rain was falling, and the pedestrians on the road were walking in a hurry. Xiaodouzi was lying on Lin Lan's shoulder and exclaimed when he saw a car.
There are neat rows of small stalls supported by urea bags or baskets. The sellers hold umbrellas and greet people warmly in low voices when they see them coming.
Lin Lan was thinking wildly in her mind, and without pausing for a moment, she soon arrived home and found Xiaodouzi asleep with her arms around her neck.
Lin Lan looked around and felt that the purchasing power here was better than that of the eucalyptus forest, especially the better food, which sold quite well.
Woof woof woof! Rhubarb barked in the yard.
Shoppers walked among rows of stalls and squatted in front of the stalls to chat in low voices when they saw something they liked.
"Go and get it yourself. Mom has to go and see if there is any leakage in the room?"
Xiaodouzi raised his head: "Mom, has grandma come back?"
Pushing open the courtyard door, Dahuang has already run to the courtyard gate in the rain, wagging his tail happily.
The outside of the courtyard is desolate and decadent. Entering the courtyard, there is a row of old-fashioned houses with carved diamond windows with mottled paint. Turning around, there is a wide dam. Under the rain and fog, there is a depressing liveliness in the dam.
"We are already home." Lin Lan turned her head and glanced at the bamboo forest. I wonder if the old lady is back?
I quickly cleaned up the bed, took all the quilts and mattresses to the bed in the east room, and started to clean them up.
Lin Lan pointed to the raft above: "Look, this is a raft. Do you think it is tied together with a lot of wood?"
Xiaodouzi nodded: "I saw it."
The mother and son read and listened, and the time passed quickly. Lin Lan made the red bean paste and started cooking again. She steamed an egg custard, fried shredded radish, and had a simple lunch.
Xiaodouzi played for a while, and Lin Lan asked him to take a nap in the east wing. He held the doll book and said, "Mom, find something for me to put my doll book and the iron ring on."
