"Mother, I'm back~" Chen Mo put the basket away, looked at his mother, who was making a female celebrity by the window by the light outside the window, and smiled happily: "The crops are growing well, there should be a good harvest this year." ”

Since he improved the manure, the crops at home have been growing better than others, and after this year's harvest, in addition to the taxes paid and the food needed by his mother and son, there is still a lot left, Chen Mo is ready to take a few more acres of land and hire two tenant farmers to help the family work, his own life will be much better, and his mother will not have to work so hard every day to be a female celebrity.

"Let's go eat." When Chen's mother saw her son, she smiled faintly, with a little distress, sometimes the child is too sensible, and it is actually another kind of failure for parents.

Chen Mo answered, happily ran to the stove, opened the cage lid, a strong aroma of corn came to his nose, Chen Mo swallowed his saliva, and then looked at his mother and said, "Mother, this chicken egg ......"

Although the Chen family has eased up a bit in the past two years, it has not yet reached the point where they can eat chicken eggs every once in a while, and it is good to be able to eat them twice a month.

"My son is getting stronger now, and he needs to eat more." Mother Chen said casually while making a female red.

"Mother, you eat." Chen Mo came over with a bowl, handed the eggs to his mother and said, "Mother is weak and needs to make up for it." ”

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

Chen Mo was a little suspicious, thought about it, peeled off the chicken eggs, found a thread, cut the chicken eggs in half, handed half to his mother and said, "Half of that person." ”

"I'll eat it, my mother has eaten it." Mother Chen shook her head and said.

"What about the skin? The mother does not eat, and neither does 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, Chen's mother couldn't resist Chen Mo, so she took half of the chicken egg and ate it in small bites.

Chen Mo saw his mother eat it, and then he began to eat his own food, although his family was poor, but after all, it was a branch of the Chen family, and his ancestors were also characters with status, since he was a child, he had more rules than other people's families, even if he was very hungry at the moment, but Chen Mo still chewed and ate slowly.

"Mother, I want to go to the county seat with Lizheng Aweng tomorrow." Chen Mo said suddenly.

"Oh?" Chen's mother was puzzled: "What is the matter?" ”

"The surplus grain at home is enough for us to use until the autumn harvest, and the child wants to take some grain to the city in exchange for two chickens, one male and one female, and we can also eat chicken eggs every day in the future, and when we have chicks in the future, we can also stew some chicken soup for our mother and eat chicken." Chen Mo didn't dare to tell his mother about the disciples of the great sage and good teacher, he knew that his mother was very repulsive to these things, and said that there must be some power beyond the comprehension of ordinary people in this world, otherwise how could the mysterious existence in his mind be explained?

"No!" Chen's mother didn't think about it, and refused directly, even if Chen Mo had been to the city, but now he is still a child, which mother can rest assured? With a straight face, he said in a deep voice: "Don't think that if you have been there once, you will think that it is so powerful, it is that you have never met a villain!" ”

"Mother, don't worry, the child is going with Ah Weng." Chen Mo was somewhat impatient with his mother's distrustful attitude, this feeling was as if he was still a child, although this was indeed the case, but Chen Mo felt that he was different from other children.

Chen's mother just disagreed, but Chen Mo was soft and hard, and finally sighed, frowned, and said: "When you go out, you must listen to Lizheng's teachings more, and don't leave Lizheng's side." ”

"Good!" It was rare for his mother to let go, Chen Mo was overjoyed, and immediately agreed, bowing his head and picking up rice.

After eating the food, Chen Mo took the dishes and chopsticks to clean the tableware, the Chen family's house was not good, although the harvest was better in the past two years, but Chen Mo expanded the original two acres of thin fields to ten acres, and spent a lot of money every year to hire someone to help his mother diagnose and treat him, buy some medicinal materials, and there was no extra money to renovate the old house.

Not to mention the four walls of the house, but it will not be very good, every year in winter, it is very cold, and when this year's harvest is completed, you must first renovate the house, at least the winter is not as cold as in previous years and you can't sleep.

It was almost dark, and after Chen Mo washed up, he trotted to Li Zheng's house, and explained to Li Zheng that he wanted to go to the county seat together tomorrow.

Li is a middle-aged man about forty years old, but this year, there is nothing wrong with a nine-year-old child calling a forty-year-old person Aweng, although it is a mile long, but Li Zheng in addition to helping the county collect taxes every year, more often more idle, he has a lot of land at home, hired a few tenant farmers to help with farming, is the largest family in this family, he is very good on weekdays, always smiling, if the annual tax is really not paid, he will not act like the bully in the legendary fish and meat town, but will make up for some, Because of this, he is very prestigious among the villagers, and the children are willing to get close to Lizheng.

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

"Well, my mother said that if she could go with Ah Weng, she would be very relieved." Chen Mo nodded in agreement, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at the big dog in Lizheng's house quietly, when he was a child, he was chased by this dog all over the ground, and then he got acquainted, but he liked it tightly, if there was something he didn't eat on weekdays, he would bring it to it.

"If your mother agrees, then it is naturally easy to say, it is not the first time you have gone to the county seat, get up early tomorrow, the rooster will leave, and it is best to rush back before sunset." Li Zheng nodded with a smile, glanced at his old dog and said, "There is a Zheng butcher in the city, who has some friendship with your Uncle Wang, if you like it, ask him to take you to him and ask for a paparazzi." ”

"No...... Not necessarily. Chen Mo shook his head, Uncle Wang is the most powerful hunter in the village, I heard that he has hunted wild boars and evil tigers alone, but people are fierce, and the children in the township can cry when they see it, although Chen Mo is not scared to cry like other children, but he is always a little stunned when he sees it, and he doesn't look like a good person.

"It's just a paparazzi, Zheng Tu has to kill a lot every day, and he doesn't have a few catties of meat." Li Zheng shook his head and said: "Then Zheng Tu is good with your Uncle Wang, don't look at your Uncle Wang like that, he is still a good person." ”

In the end, Li Zheng sighed and didn't continue, sometimes people's concepts are difficult to change.

"Kill a lot every day?" Chen Mo's focus is obviously not on the second half of the sentence.

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

Chen Mo was a little entangled, he was a little afraid of Uncle Wang, whether it was the other party's appearance or the feeling he gave people, but he really wanted a dog.

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

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

Looking at the back of Chen Mo leaving, the smile on Li Zheng's face was a little kind, there are sixty-three families in this one, and there are more than 30 children, but his favorite is Chen Mo, sensible, not noisy, and down-to-earth and hardworking, and also has some of his own ideas, and after all, it is a branch of the Chen family, although the family background is similar, but after all, it is different, and this child may be able to get ahead in the future.
