Early the next morning, Chen Mo got up early as usual, learned a passage from the Analects of Confucius from his mother, memorized it, and wrote it again. After carrying his own backpack, he came to the barn and prepared to start a new day's work. However, he unexpectedly saw a few children.

My partner came with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

"Ah Duo, what's going on?" Chen Mo looked at Ah Duo in confusion.

"My father beat me." A Duo cried sadly.

"Why?" Chen Mo was a little confused. How could such a good person be beaten?

"Last night I asked my dad why people die, but he couldn't answer, so he beat me up!" A Duo shed a few tears of grievance as he spoke.

Chen Mo suddenly felt a little lucky that his mother was knowledgeable and reasonable, unlike Uncle Zhang who beat him up when he couldn't speak up.

"Then don't ask. What's the point of asking? Aren't you going to live the same life?" Chen Mo grinned and wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know how to comfort him. He could only solve the problem from the root. Now he wanted to

I thought, this matter was far away to them, so why bother asking? If their parents were in a bad mood, they might just take action directly like Uncle Zhang.

"Brother Ergou, Uncle Wang is back, have you asked him if he is willing to teach us?" Ado asked, wiping his nose.

"No, Uncle Wang is injured. He can't come to teach. He has his own things to do. Don't you want to learn?" Chen Mo looked at A Duo in confusion. He gave up after practicing for a while on the first day.

, and in the end, he even started having fun with everyone during the stick skills training, which made Chen Mo very boring.

"Then go and ask Uncle Wang for advice on how to teach us." A'duo wiped his tears and said, "When you learn the skills, my father will not dare to bully me like he does now."

Chen Mo glanced at A Duo strangely: "What? Do you still want to fight with your father?"

"No..." A flash of fear flashed in Ado's eyes: "It's just that I feel that as long as I have the ability, my father will not beat me as casually as he does now."

Uncle Zhang is a well-known good old man. Chen Mo doesn't understand why Uncle Zhang often beats A Duo at home. However, Chen Mo doesn't want to interfere with other people's affairs. He nodded perfunctorily and said: "That's fine, wait until the work is finished today.

, I’ll ask Uncle Wang.”

In fact, Chen Mo didn't want to disturb Uncle Wang at this time. Uncle Wang was in a very low mood yesterday, and he would be affected if he was around him.

"Ah Weng, you have too much land here." At noon, Chen Mo, who had been busy all morning, sat next to Li Zheng and complained a little. Even if it is just digging ten cesspools in these hundred acres of Susukino, it is too much for people like them.

It's not easy either.

"Okay, Aweng brought some good things today, let them come and eat them." Li Zheng smiled and waved to his daughter-in-law.

Under Chen Mo's curious eyes, Aweng's daughter-in-law came over with a wooden tray and placed it on the table on the horizon.

"This is..." Chen Mo looked at the items on the wooden plate curiously, a string of purple-black beads, which were washed very clean, but Chen Mo had never seen them before.

"Putou." Li Zheng twisted one, peeled it and threw it into his mouth. He looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "The food from the Western Regions that Zhang Qian brought back when he was on his mission to the Western Regions is now grown in many places in the Central Plains. There are also many places in the county.

Occasionally they are sold in the market.”

"How much does this cost?" Chen Mo picked one off, peeled it and threw it into his mouth. Suddenly, a sweet and sour feeling spread along his taste buds. Chen Mo narrowed his eyes in enjoyment.

Eye.

"Three dollars," Li Zheng said after thinking for a moment.

"It's not very expensive. I'll definitely buy some for my mother next time I go to the county town." Chen Mo said vaguely. Such sweet things are not expensive. How come I haven't noticed this before?

"Three cents a piece." Li Zheng peeled another sweet apple and threw it into his mouth.

"Cough cough cough~" Pu Tao's penis was stuck in his throat, causing Chen Mo to cough violently and looked at Li Zheng with a look of disbelief on his face: "Aweng just said how much is three cents?"

"One." Li Zheng spit out the rose peach leisurely, looked at Chen Mo and said, "What? Do you want to buy it?"

Chen Mo originally wanted to eat another one, but now, looking at the rose apples on the plate, he couldn't make the move. He said calmly: "Aweng, this is too expensive, we can't eat it."

"Don't worry, you won't ask for money. You guys are helping me water the ground these days. If you don't entertain me, others will just say I'm unreasonable." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Chen Mo didn't know whether he should refuse or not, but finally followed Li Zheng's instructions and called the teenagers over.

“Delicious and sweet!”

Seeing a group of people eating those apples carelessly, Chen Mo felt a little uncomfortable. This was not eating apples, this was clearly eating money!

"If you don't eat it, it will be gone." Li Zheng did not fight with these people, he just looked at Chen Mo with a smile.

"I can't eat it." Chen Mo sighed. He wanted his mother to try the three-dollar rose fruits, but the price... the money to buy such a bunch would be enough for the mother and son to live for a month.

In just a short time, a group of teenagers snatched away all the rose peaches in the wooden tray.

"Ah Weng, what is this? It's so sweet!" A Duo casually wiped the fluid from his hand on his clothes and looked at Li Zheng curiously.

"Put apples are generally not easy to buy. I'll keep them here for a while. I'll wait for you to have lunch." Li Zheng didn't say anything about the price anymore and took advantage of the situation to divert the topic.

At noon, I eat brown rice with some cooked vegetables. Most people eat mostly corn, and only those from a family like Li Zheng can eat rice. For people like Chen Mo, they can only eat three to five meals a year.

Brown rice is pretty good. As for better polished rice, I can't even think of it.

"The afternoon is over, go and see your Uncle Wang." After dinner, Li Zheng called Chen Mo aside, handed him a package and said, "Bring these to him."

"Ah, why is Uncle Wang so unhappy?" Chen Mo looked at Li Zheng and said, "When I came this morning, I saw Aunt Cai crying in front of Uncle Wang's house. Isn't that a bit excessive? Uncle Cai was not killed by Uncle Wang."

"You are too young. You will understand some things in the future." Li Zheng sighed, sat on the wooden pier beside him, shook his head and said, "You don't understand this now."

Chen Mo was a little dissatisfied with these words, but he couldn't be so serious, so he could only lead a group of teenagers to continue digging cesspools in a depressed manner.

In the evening, Chen Mo said goodbye to A Duo and the others and went straight to Uncle Wang's house. Aunt Cai was still there. Uncle Wang tied one hand with a cloth and held a bowl of porridge in the other and said in front of Aunt Cai: "

Brothers and sisters, even if you don’t eat, you should let your child take a bite. Do you really want him to starve to death here?”

"There's no need for you to pretend to be a good person!" Aunt Cai's family slapped the bowl away, causing a bowl of corn rice to splash on the floor. Duan swallowed and saw Chen Mo coming over with a package. He opened his mouth and wanted to say
Chapter completed!
