Lin Qian placed the selected newspapers and books on the table, smiled at the old man, and said, "Sir, I'll take these newspapers and books. How much do you want?"

Her steps were light, and she set off happily towards the supply and marketing cooperative. Walking along the road, she couldn't help but recall her haul from the scrap yard exhibition, her heart filled with joy and satisfaction.
