"Mom, I'm back~" Chen Mo put the backpack away, looked at his mother who was making red flowers by the light outside the window, and said with a happy smile: "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.

"Go and eat quickly." 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." Chen's mother 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 a supplement."

"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 dignitaries. Since he was a child, he had more rules than other families, even though 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. My son 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

Mom, make some chicken soup and eat chicken." Chen Mo didn't dare to tell his mother about the great virtuous master's disciples. He knew that his mother was very repulsive to these things, saying that they were silent and had strange powers and chaos. But Chen Mo believed that there must be some people in this world who are beyond ordinary people.

The power of understanding, otherwise how to explain the mysterious existence in his mind?

"No!" Mother Chen refused without even thinking. Even if Chen Mo had been to the city before, she was still a child. What mother can rest assured? She immediately put on a straight face and said in a deep voice: "Don't think that you have been there.

Just once, you think you are so powerful, but you have never encountered a villain!"

"Don't worry, mother, the child will go with Aweng." Chen Mo was a little 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. Chen Mo was overjoyed and 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 thin farmland 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 is not that good. Every winter, it is very cold. When the harvest is harvested this year, the house must be renovated first. At least it will not be as cold as in previous years and cannot sleep.

It was getting dark. After Chen Mo washed up, he ran 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 does not only help 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 the farming. It is considered the largest family here. He is usually a good person and always smiles. If the annual taxes are real,

If he can't hand it over, he won't act like the bully in the legendary fish and meat village. Instead, he will provide some compensation. Because of this, 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 be very 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 place, but after getting familiar with it, it became very fond of it. If there was anything it didn't want to eat, I would bring it to it.

"If your mother agrees, that will be easy. This is not your first time going to the county seat. Get up early tomorrow and leave as soon as the rooster crows. It's best to get back before sunset." Li Zheng nodded with a smile and looked at it.

He glanced at his old dog and said: "There is a butcher Zheng in the city who has some friendship with your Uncle Wang. If you like it, ask him to take you to his place and ask for a paparazzi."

"No...it's not necessary." Chen Mo shook his head. Uncle Wang is the most powerful hunter in the village. I heard that he has hunted wild boars and tigers by himself, but he is so fierce that the children in the village can see it.

Although Chen Mo was not scared to cry like other children, he was always a little frightened and did not look like a good person at first glance.

"It's just a paparazzi. Zheng Tu kills a lot of people every day and doesn't have a few kilograms of meat." Li Zheng shook his head and said, "Then Zheng Tu and your Uncle Wang are pretty good. Don't look at how your Uncle Wang looks. He's still a pretty good person."

of."

At the end of the sentence, Li Zheng sighed and did not continue. Sometimes people's ideas are difficult to change.

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

Li Zheng nodded, looked at Chen Mo speechlessly, and smiled. After all, he was a nine-year-old child, so what was the use of telling him this?

Chen Mo was a little conflicted. He was a little afraid of Uncle Wang, both in terms of his appearance and the way he felt, but he really wanted a dog.

"Let's go back and think about it. We'll talk about it when we get to the city tomorrow." Li Zheng said, waving his hands.

"Thank you, Aweng!" Chen Mo quickly bowed to Li Zheng respectfully and said goodbye.

Watching Chen Mo leave, Li Zheng had a kind smile on his face. There were sixty-three households in this area with more than thirty children, but the one he liked the most was Chen Mo, who was sensible, not noisy, and down-to-earth.
