Bound to the involution system, I built a factory in the era of Gaga

Sure enough, when I turned around, I saw Zhang Fangfang following a woman with an unhappy look on her face.

The interaction between the mother and daughter was noticed by passers-by, who all looked at them sideways.

Seeing this, a trace of shame flashed across Liu Yan's dull and honest face. She pulled Zhang Fangfang's sleeve and walked forward quickly with her head down.

Liang Tian didn't care about this little episode. Urged by Wang Po, she hurried and arrived at the market before noon.

The town's market was bustling with people everywhere. The streets were lined with vendors, who were shouting, bargaining, and laughing.

"Pork-filled buns, hot and fragrant, only 1 cent each!"

“Eggplants fresh from the field, red and sweet tomatoes!”

"Maltose, one cent each~"

In the past two years, the government has gradually relaxed its policies, allowing ordinary people to save some money. The policy of self-employed business has not yet been officially implemented, but the street stall culture has already been slowly circulated.

The market is also called the Socialist Fair, or simply the Fair. Only at certain times can ordinary people gather together and bring items to the market for sale or exchange.

Although the two hurried, they still arrived a little late. After all, the old and the weak were definitely not as good as the young and strong.

But Liang Tian discovered that Wang Po didn't seem worried at all. She just tiptoed and looked around. Soon her wrinkled face became a chrysanthemum. She excitedly pulled Liang Tian towards a stall.

"Sister Ma, you've moved to a new place. It took me so long to find you!"

The woman in her sixties at the stall raised her head quickly, revealing a kind round face. When she saw Old Lady Wang, she couldn't help but grinning: "Oh, Sister Wang, you're late today! Come on, come on, I've reserved a spot for you. If you don't come, I won't be able to keep it!"

As Sister Ma spoke, she quickly made room for Mrs. Wang.

The place is not big, just enough for one person to sit.

Mrs. Wang put down the backpack, took out eggs, vegetables and cloth shoes from it one by one, then turned to chat with Sister Ma.

"You came quite early. The tofu is almost sold out!" Mrs. Wang was very envious.

Sister Ma waved her hands, smiling from ear to ear: "Oh, no, there's not enough tofu today... You can take a piece back later, it will be delicious when you stew soup!"

Mrs. Wang is not an ungrateful person. In this day and age, it is hard to even have enough to eat, so how could she dare to accept such a great kindness!

For ordinary people, food is more important than anything else!

Liang Tian saw that Mrs. Wang was chatting animatedly. A quarter of an hour had passed and no one had visited her stall yet. She couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

What can social phobia do when it's urgent? Anyway, you can't shout it out by yourself! That requires too much courage. Even if she borrows from Fish Leong, she won't borrow enough!

Just as I was getting anxious, an old lady dressed in fine clothes came to the vegetable stall next door.

The reason why Liang Tian noticed her was mainly because the old lady had her gray hair combed meticulously, the fabric she wore looked solid and exquisite, and most importantly, she had a rosy complexion and a straight back!

How many country folk can walk with such grace? How many can stand straight?

Liang Tian quietly moved towards the stall and pricked up her ears to listen:

"Young man, how do you sell these vegetables?"

"Two cents a bunch, how many do you want?"

The old lady picked and chose, bought two, and only after paying asked, "Do you know if there is any fish for sale in this market? Crucian carp is the best."

The stall owner shook his head: "I really don't know, but you can walk along this street. There is a pork stall in front. I heard that no tickets are required! But the price is higher..."

The old lady shook her head: "That won't work, my wife is waiting for me at home... Forget it, I'll go shopping again."

Liang Tian rolled her eyes and turned around to call her grandma, but her grandma was so engrossed in the conversation and Liang Tian's voice was so soft that she didn't call over at all!

Seeing that the old lady was getting farther and farther away, Liang Tian gritted her teeth and had to chase after her.

Compared with life, face is nothing! What's more, you can get money for completing the task, who can resist money?

"Grandma, wait a minute!"

When Old Mrs. Zhang heard the voice, she turned around and saw that it was a strange girl. She thought she was being too sentimental and was about to turn away.

Liang Tian quickly ran to Old Lady Zhang and stopped her: "Grandma, I, I have something to tell you."

"Oh? Little girl, we don't know each other, right?"

This was the first time Liang Tian tried to stop a stranger. His fair face turned as red as a cooked shrimp: "Yes, I didn't know him...but now we know each other!"

Old Mrs. Zhang couldn't help laughing: "Okay, tell me, what's the matter?"

Liang Tian mustered up her courage and said in one breath: "It's like this, I heard you want to buy fish, I can get it for you, but, but you have to do me a favor..." Liang Tian felt a little lacking in confidence as she spoke. After all, this matter was very strange no matter how she thought about it.

But this time she made the right bet, because the person opposite was a kind old lady. The main reason she went out today was because her granddaughter-in-law had difficulty producing milk, so she thought of going to the market to see if she could buy fish stew to increase milk production.

"Tell me what you're busy with first!"

Liang Tian pointed to the stall occupied by Mrs. Wang in the distance, embarrassed, and said, "That's my stall. We sell eggs, vegetables, and cloth shoes. Do you need anything?"

After hearing this, Old Lady Zhang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "That's it, all right. I'm running out of eggs at home, I'll go buy some later. But little girl, you have to be honest. You said you would help me get the fish, you're not lying to me, are you?"

"That can't be possible!" Liang Tian shook her head quickly: "Tomorrow, at the same place and time, I will bring the fish to you!"

Old Mrs. Zhang was not afraid that the other party would cheat her. After all, the worst outcome would be that she would not be able to buy fish.

Mrs. Wang was still chatting with Sister Ma when suddenly her vision darkened and she realized that a customer had come to her stall.

"Hey, would you like to buy some eggs? They're newly laid by our old hens. They're all huge! And these vegetables, they were just picked from the field today!"

Liang Tian couldn't help but be amazed when she saw her grandmother switch so quickly from bragging to enthusiastically soliciting customers.

Old Mrs. Zhang was not very interested at first, but when she saw that Mrs. Wang's eggs were really big, she couldn't help but start picking them.

Mrs. Wang squinted her eyes with joy and helped pick eggs into Mrs. Zhang's basket.

"That's enough, that's enough. Just 10 will do!"

Mrs. Wang took two more and said, "Make it a whole, 20!"

"Okay, how much do eggs cost?"

Liang Tian's heart tightened, and she answered quickly, "Three cents a piece!"

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth, then quickly closed it, and continued with a wry smile, "Yes, three cents a piece, it is indeed a bit more expensive than other places, but you can see that my eggs are big!"

There’s no way. Her granddaughter has already raised the price, so she can’t sabotage it, right?

Besides, what if? What if the person on the other side is a sucker?
