Chapter 45 Chapter 46
Lin Lan pointed to the baby books and notebooks on the counter and shouted, "Salesman, please come and get them."

The tall and thin salesperson came over and took out the two sets of doll books and notebooks she was pointing at from the counter, snapping!He threw it on the counter twice and leaned impatiently at her.

"You have to buy it to open it, and if you don't buy it, don't look it up."

Lin Lan glanced at her indifferently: "Everything." She said and took a five-yuan ticket and put it on the counter.

The salesperson gave her a surprised look, picked up the money on the counter, turned around and found the money and put it on the counter, turned around and sat down.

The salespersons of this era are awesome.

The ones in Xinhua Bookstore are even better, and the one or two in the department store make people look at people with their nostrils upturned and squinting eyes.

Lin Lan packed the change and handed the doll book to Xiaodouzi: "Mom bought chicken feather letters and Monkey King."

Xiaodouzi happily took it, looked at the colorful cover of Somersault Cloud, and looked up in surprise: "Mom, the doll book is so beautiful."

Lin Lan nodded and rubbed his head: "This is your book, please keep it safe!"

Xiaodouzi looked at her and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "I know!"

Lin Lan carried him into the back and stood up with his back on her back: "Baby, let's go to the garment factory."

"Oh!"

Xiaodouzi lay on Lin Lan's shoulders, and the mother and son walked towards Shengli Road in the west of the city.

Zhou Xiaohong said that the four major black markets each occupy a corner, one is in the eucalyptus forest, one is at the entrance of the cave, one is in the clothing factory, and the other is in an old house.

The black market with long clothes is relatively close to the Lexing Brigade, even if you walk fast, it will take an hour and a half to walk.

The light rain was pattering down, and the pedestrians on the road were in a hurry. Xiaodouzi lay on Lin Lan's shoulder, and exclaimed when he saw a car.

Walk through two main streets, arrive at Shengli Road, turn around two small streets and arrive at the garment factory, enter through the alley next to the garment factory, walk through a long and quiet alley, and arrive in front of an abandoned compound.

The outside of the compound is desolate and desolate, and there is a row of old-fashioned houses in the yard, with mottled paint on the carved diamond windows.Turning around, there is a wide dam, under the rain and mist, there is a kind of depressing excitement in the dam.

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 more orderly than the eucalyptus forest.

There are neat rows of small stalls supported by urea bags, straps, and baskets. The sellers hold umbrellas and greet people in a low voice when they see them.

Buyers walked among the rows of small stalls, squatting in front of the stalls to communicate in low voices when they saw something.

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.

After reading it, she thought that if those two dogs, Sun Xiuhua and Zhang Yazhen, still bit her, she would come here to set up a stall.

Although there is a relationship with the old lady, but I am a widow and Li Xiangyang is a young man, if I ask him for help for a long time, I will definitely be gossiped.

Lin Lan made up her mind and walked back with Xiaodouzi on her back. Halfway through, she found that the rain was getting heavier and heavier: "Baby, hold Mommy, it's raining heavily, we have to walk faster."

"Oh!" Xiaodouzi hastily and carefully put the doll on his little instep, lay on Lin Lan's back and hugged her neck: "Mom, it's raining so hard!"

Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "Yes! It's raining a lot!" She remembered that when she was a child, she liked rainy days the most. When it rained, she didn't have to go out to mow the grass, and she could play with her sister at home.

When I grew up, I didn't like the rain anymore. I couldn't go out to set up a stall when it rained. If I couldn't set up a stall, I couldn't make money. Here I repeated the old days.

Lin Lan suddenly remembered that the roof of the house seemed to be leaking. In the memory of the original owner, it was raining heavily outside and light rain inside.

Foreign debts need to be repaid, and the house needs money for digging through the roofs.... It's raining, and I lost more than ten yuan a day!

Money, money, life is connected.

Lin Lan was thinking wildly in her mind, and without pausing for a moment, she soon arrived home and found Xiaodouzi asleep with her neck around her.

"Stinky boy, no wonder there was no sound for a long time."

woof woof!Rhubarb yelled in the yard.

Xiaodouzi opened his eyes: "Mom, Rhubarb is calling!"

"We're already home." Lin Lan turned her head and glanced at the bamboo forest, wondering if the old lady came back?

Pushing open the courtyard door, Rhubarb had already run to the courtyard door in the rain, wagging his tail happily.

She climbed up to the eaves, put down her back and carried Xiaodouzi out: "Mom, my doll's book is in the back."

"Get it yourself, mom has to go and see if there is any rain in the room?"

Lin Lan hurriedly opened the door of the stove, entered the room and went to the room, and saw that the rain had already started to leak in front of the bed.I hurried to get a basin to connect it to the bottom, and found that the top of the bed was also leaking.

Fortunately, the canopy bed was covered with a layer of oilcloth, otherwise the quilt on the bed would be completely wet.

The main room also leaked a pool of water, and the other main room also leaked rain.

Lin Lan went to Yuanba to look at the roof. The roof was covered with moss and some plants. It seemed that the roof hadn't been plucked and filled for several years.

Thinking that the pots at home were soaking beans, Lin Lan had no choice but to go to the firewood house to pick up a dung bucket to catch the rainwater, and went out to the East Wing. The straw roof in the East Wing hadn't leaked yet.

He hurriedly cleaned up the bed, carried all the quilts and quilts to the bed in the east chamber, and began to tidy up.

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, mother is going to see if grandma is back?"

Xiaodouzi didn't even look up: "Oh! Come back quickly."

Lin Lan went to the old lady's house with an umbrella. Seeing Dahei lying on the eaves of the back door, staring at her, she couldn't help feeling a little angry.

She looked at Dahei vigilantly, and shouted a few times at the top of her voice, but the old lady did not respond. Fortunately, the four-eyed Dahei didn't jump over to bite her this time.

She returned home with an umbrella and closed the courtyard door.

Xiaodouzi looked up: "Mom, is grandma back yet?"

"I haven't come back yet." Lin Lan put down her umbrella and sat down: "Do you understand what's written on it?"

Xiaodouzi came over with the baby book and snuggled into her arms: "Mom, read to me."

Lin Lan took it and looked at it: "Wait a minute, mom will read to you while cooking red beans."

"Ok!"

Xiaodouzi followed Lin Lan into the stove, watched her wash the red beans and pour them into the pot, put the lid on and sit under the stove.

Lin Lan took somersault cloud and started to read: "The Monkey King left Huaguo Mountain and climbed a raft in order to visit his teacher and seek enlightenment..."

Xiaodouzi pointed to the doll book: "Mom, what is a raft?"

Lin Lan pointed to the raft above: "Look, this is a raft. Do you think it was tied together with a lot of wood?"

Xiaodouzi nodded: "I saw it."

The mother and son read and listened to each other, and the time passed quickly. Lin Lan made the red bean paste and started cooking again.I steamed an egg custard, fried a shredded radish, and had a simple lunch.

After Xiaodouzi played for a while, Lin Lan asked him to take a nap in the East Wing. He hugged the doll book: "Mom, find something for me to put my doll book and iron ring on."
