Chapter 42 Coal exchange
The weather is getting colder day by day, and even those who have just started to work with optimism can sense that something is wrong.
The people who desperately hoarded grain at the beginning have now added the task of hoarding coal.
In order to increase coal production, many long-abandoned coal mines have been reactivated.
The depletion of resources, environmental pollution, etc., can no longer be taken care of, at this time, if you do not go all out to mine coal, the current difficulties can not be overcome.
After a period of mining, in addition to a part of the subsidy for recruitment, there is still a lot of coal left.
Cars come and go in various coal mines, and countless coals are pulled all over the country.
The small Taoyuan Village has also become lively because of the arrival of coal trucks.
"Folks, change coal, five catties of grain and one catty of coal!"
Lin Mu, who was selling things, saw the coal truck and felt that the coal truck had come at the right time, and if he didn't come, his coal stove would be cut off.
Lin Mu's hand speed suddenly increased a lot, but so what, the twenty-minute docking time is fixed...... Don't be a fool, right......
The result of full firepower is that the number of people who bought things that day has increased a lot, and the consequence of this is that countless people strongly hope that Lin Mu will always be in full fire in the future.
In this regard, Lin Mu said that only a fool would do this.
The fool Lin Mu rushed home, and the coal exchange car at the entrance of the village had not yet left, and many villagers were asking questions around the coal exchange car.
If you don't ask or bargain when you buy something, you're either rich or faceless.
Is Lin Mu that kind of person? That's the designation!
Just as he was about to say that he would change coal, he was stopped by Lin's mother.
"Wait a little longer and see if the price will be reduced."
???
Shouldn't this thing be state-run now? Nationwide flat price ...... Can you still say that it will fall? Isn't that a joke?
"Folks, this coal is changed like this all over the country, we are escorted, and we can't be the master." A man who looked like the leader of the group said with a sad face.
Listen, is it impossible to cut the price, Lin Mu glanced at Mother Lin proudly, and successfully harvested a white eye.
"But ......"
??? Hearing this, however, Lin Mu was shocked, can he really cut it?
"If you exchange rice and flour, it is three catties of grain for one catty of coal!"
……
I knew that I couldn't cut it, but in fact, this group of people had been grinding hard for a long time, and they were already late to Lin Mu.
"Mom, just change it, we have the food, but our coal is about to run out."
Lin Mu is really cold, in order to save coal, their family is now living in one room with Father Lin, Xiao Chen and him, and Mother Lin and Xiao Ying living in one room.
"Don't look at our family, there is no shortage of food now, but if you can't do your job of selling food, our family will live on this food."
Mother Lin lowered her voice and tried to clarify the relationship with Lin Mu.
However, in such a crowded place, unless you speak in your ears, there will always be people with sharp ears who can hear.
What's more, the identity of the second-tier dealers of forest and grain is so noble (fart), and there are many people staring at their homes.
As soon as Mother Lin said this to Lin Mu, the people around her were waiting for Lin Mu's answer, more concerned than Mother Lin.
"Mom, don't worry, what about me, it's factory direct sales (no problem), no one may have food, I can't (supermarket system, the prominent thing is the supermarket, okay)."
But will a mother listen to her son? Naive!
In the end, Lin's mother chose to take out only half of the sweet potatoes at home and replace them with coal.
Overheard the conversation between Lin Mu and Lin's mother, and the other families in the village felt that they were safe, so they ...... Like Lin's mother, she took out half of the family's stored grain and exchanged it for coal.
There are even people who have not been willing to eat the rice noodles they changed before, and this time they all took them out and exchanged them for coal.
In the end, even the coal trucks that came to their village to sell coal were emptied, and there were still people who had not changed coal, and it just so happened that coal that had not been exchanged elsewhere was also brought to their village.
Taoyuan Village is now the richest place in the whole county, after all, five stops can basically meet the needs of the whole village for grain purchases.
Since the people in the village started selling grain, they have rarely touched their own grain stocks.
Lin Mu and the three men brought home the coal they bought one by one and stored it in the utility room.
When it was done, Lin Mu had black coal marks on his hands and face.
After washing his hands and face with the melted snow water, he cleaned himself up as quickly as possible, and spread out on the sofa in the living room without moving.
Xiaoying entered the house and saw Lin Mu slumped on the sofa and snickered.
Lin Mu looked at her suspiciously.
Xiaoying didn't speak, just turned around and walked out of the living room, and soon came in with a towel again.
Sitting next to Lin Mu, he gently wiped his face with a towel, and then showed Lin Mu the dirty towel.
Lin Mu's face turned red.
Although he is already a veritable veteran driver (the kind of driver I drive).
But! Emotionally, he was as pure as a baby. (Author: Let's make a face!) )
Although Xiaoying is still young, there can't be any love, but she is a girl after all!
After wiping his face, Xiaoying went out with a towel again, and let Lin Mu look through the autumn water, Xiaoying did not enter the living room again until it was time to eat.
……
At night, Xiao Chen, who slept in the same room with Father Lin and Lin Mu, couldn't sleep over and over.
All I could think of was the conversation between him and Xiaoying after he saw Xiaoying wiping Lin Mu's face during the day.
……
After seeing that scene during the day, as soon as Xiaoying came out of the living room, Xiao Chen grabbed her, and the two of them went to the utility room where there was no one.
"Sister, do you like Brother Xiaomu?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiaoying was a little flustered, and her eyes didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Chen.
"I just saw you wipe Brother Xiaomu's face."
Xiaoying fell silent for a moment, lowered her head, and did not speak.
"Sister, if you really like Brother Xiaomu, I don't object, but if you ...... If...... If it's just to stay at Brother Xiaomu's house, I don't agree. ”
"I'm not!"
As soon as Xiao Chen's words fell, Xiao Ying retorted with a red face.
"I'm not here to stay at Brother Xiaomu's house, I'm ...... I don't know, I just think that Brother Xiaomu is very good. ”
(Lin Mu: I was issued a good person card?) )
"If it weren't for Brother Xiaomu, maybe the two of us would have died a long time ago, either from hunger or from cold......"
Xiaoying held back the tears in her eyes, "It was Brother Xiaomu who gave us such a home, we should take you to work together, I just thought that I could take care of Brother Xiaomu." ”。
After listening to Xiaoying's answer, Xiao Chen was relieved, he was afraid that his sister would wronged him for him and life, and he was also afraid that his sister would deceive Brother Xiaomu's family.
Both of them were his closest people, and he didn't want any of them to be hurt.
