"Mom, I'm back~" Chen Mo put the backpack away and looked at his mother who was making red flowers by the light outside the window. He smiled happily and said, "The crops are growing well. There should be a good harvest this year."

Ever since he improved the manure, his family's crops have been growing better than others. After this year's harvest, in addition to the taxes paid and the food needed by his wife and son, there will still be a lot left over. Chen Mo is planning to add some more. With a few acres of land and hiring two tenant farmers to help the family work, my family's life will definitely be much better, and my mother will no longer have to work so hard every day as a female celebrity.

"Hurry up and eat." Mother Chen saw her son, with a faint smile, a little heartbroken. Sometimes children are too sensible, which is actually another kind of failure for parents.

Chen Mo responded, happily ran to the stove, opened the lid, and a strong aroma of corn came to his nostrils. Chen Mo swallowed, then looked at his mother and said, "Mother, these eggs …”

Although the Chen family has experienced some relief in the past two years, it is not yet to the point where they can eat chicken eggs every now and then. It would be good to eat them twice a month.

"My son is getting stronger now and needs to eat more." Mother Chen said casually while making women's red.

"Mom, you eat." Chen Mo came over with a bowl, handed the eggs to his mother and said, "My mother is weak and needs some nourishment."

"Mom has already eaten." Mother Chen shook her head and said.

Chen Mo was a little suspicious. After thinking for a while, he peeled the egg, found a piece of thread, cut the egg in half, handed one half to his mother and said, "Half for each person."

"My son, let's eat it. Mom has already eaten it." Mother Chen shook her head and said.

"What about the skin? Mother won't eat it, and neither will the child." Chen Mo was a little stubborn. He actually didn't want to expose his mother's lies, but he really couldn't see his mother like this.

In the end, Mother Chen couldn't resist Chen Mo, so she took half the egg and ate it in small bites.

When Chen Mo saw his mother eating, he started to eat his own food. Although his family was poor, he was still a branch of the Chen family, and his ancestors were also people with status. Since he was a child, he had more rules than other families, even if he was already very hungry at the moment. , but Chen Mo still chewed slowly and slowly.

"Mother, I want to go to the county town with Li Zheng Aweng tomorrow." Chen Mo suddenly said.

"Oh?" Mother Chen asked doubtfully, "What's the matter?"

"The surplus grain at home is enough for us to use until the autumn harvest. The child wants to take some grain to the city and exchange it for two chickens, one male and one female. From now on, we can also eat chicken eggs every day. When we have chicks in the future, we can also give them to Mother makes some chicken soup and eats chicken. "Chen Mo didn't dare to kill Da Xian. He told his mother about the disciples of a good teacher. He knew that his mother was very repulsive to these things, saying that she was silent about strange powers and chaotic gods. However, Chen Mo believed that there must be some powers beyond ordinary people's understanding in this world, otherwise the mysterious existence in his mind would be gone again. How to explain?

"No!" Mother Chen refused without even thinking. Even if Chen Mo had been to the city before, she was still a child. What mother could rest assured? He immediately put on a straight face and said in a deep voice: "Don't think that just because you've been there once, you think you're awesome. That's because you've never met a villain before!"

"Don't worry, mother, the child will go with Aweng." Chen Mo was somewhat impatient with his mother's distrustful attitude. He felt as if he was still a child. Although this was indeed the case, Chen Mo I feel that I am different from other children.

Chen's mother just disagreed, but Chen Mo tried hard, but finally sighed, frowned and said: "When you go out, you should listen to Li Zheng's teachings more, and don't leave Li Zheng's side."

"Okay!" It was rare for his mother to relent, and Chen Mo was overjoyed. He immediately agreed and lowered his head to eat.

After finishing the food, Chen Mo took the bowls and chopsticks to clean the tableware. The Chen family's house is not in a good condition. Although the harvest has been better in the past two years, Chen Mo has expanded the original two acres of Susukaku field to ten acres, and still spends a lot of money every year. I had money to pay for my mother’s diagnosis and treatment and buy some medicinal materials, but I didn’t have any extra money to renovate the old house.

Not to mention that the house is bare, but it's not that good. Every winter, it's very cold. When the harvest is harvested this year, we must renovate the house first. At least it won't be so cold that I can't sleep in winter like in previous years.

It was getting dark. After Chen Mo washed up, he trotted to Li Zheng's house and told Li Zheng that he wanted to go to the county town together tomorrow.

Li Zheng is a middle-aged man of about forty years old, but these days, there is nothing wrong with a nine-year-old child calling a forty-year-old person Aweng. Although it is one mile long, Li Zheng in addition to helping the county collect taxes every year In addition, he is more free most of the time. His family owns a lot of land and hires several tenant farmers to help with farming. He is the largest family here. He is usually a nice person and always smiles. If he really can't pay the annual taxes, he won't act like the bully in the legendary fish and meat village. Instead, he will supplement some. Therefore, he is very popular among the villagers, and the children are willing to get close to Li Zheng.

"Does your mother agree?" Li Zheng looked at Chen Mo with a smile and asked.

"Well, Mom said she would feel relieved if she could go with Aweng." Chen Mo nodded in agreement, but couldn't help but glance at the big dog in Li Zheng's house. He was chased by this dog when he was a child. It ran all over the floor, but after getting familiar with it, it became very fond of it. If there was something it didn't want to eat, I would bring it to it.

"If your mother agrees, then it's easy. This is not your first time to go to the county town. Get up early tomorrow and leave as soon as the cock crows. It's best to get back before sunset." The village head nodded with a smile, looked at his old dog and said, "There is a butcher named Zheng in the city. He has some friendship with your uncle Wang. If you like, ask him to take you to him to ask for a puppy."

"No... no need." Chen Mo shook his head. Uncle Wang was the most powerful hunter in the village. It was said that he had hunted wild boars and tigers alone. However, he looked very fierce. Children in the village would cry when they saw him. Although Chen Mo was not scared to tears like other children, he was always a little scared when he saw him. He didn't look like a good person.

"It's just a puppy. Zheng the butcher kills a lot every day, and there are not many pounds of meat." The village head shook his head and said, "Then Zheng the butcher is good with your uncle Wang. Don't look at your uncle Wang's appearance. He is still a good person."

At the end, the village head sighed and didn't say anything. Sometimes people's concepts are difficult to change.

"Do you have to kill a lot every day?" Chen Mo's focus was obviously not on the second half of the sentence.

The head of the village nodded, looked at Chen Mo in silence, and sneered. After all, he was a nine-year-old child. What's the point of telling him these things?

Chen Mo was a little entangled. He was a little afraid of Uncle Wang, no matter how he looked or how he felt, but he really wanted a dog.

"Go back and think about it. Let's talk about it when we get to the city tomorrow." The head of the village waved his hand.

"Thank you, old man!" Chen Mo hurriedly bowed to the head of the village and said goodbye.

Looking at Chen Mo's back as he left, the head of the village smiled with some kindness. There were more than 30 children in the 63 households in this village, but he liked Chen Mo the most. He was sensible, not noisy, and hardworking. He also had some ideas of his own. After all, he was a branch of the Chen family. Although the family conditions were similar, they were different after all. This child might be able to make a name for himself in the future.
