Chen Mo's matter is done, but Li Zheng and their business is not yet, compared to Chen Mo, Li Zheng and they not only have to sell the leather goods they brought, but also buy a lot of things, money is not much use in the countryside, except for salt, cloth and some equipment and other necessities, they can basically be self-sufficient, even if there is demand, as long as it is not a disaster year, neighbors can exchange and make up for each other.

Of course, the premise is to have a good year, if there is a disaster year, it will be a disaster for ordinary people like them.

Chen Mo has only heard of these truths, he has not experienced a real disaster year, he has only heard of the horror of the disaster year, but he has never seen it, although he is a little envious of the prosperity of this county, but if he wants to choose, he is still willing to plant in his own small place, at least have a field, and his heart is steady.

At noon, the two had a meal at a post house on West Street, spending thirty yuan, Chen Mo felt that Uncle Wang had saved his life, and this meal should be invited by himself anyway, so he settled the account with some distress.

Thirty money, if it is placed in the village, at the current price, it is enough for their mother and son to eat for three days, but now there is only one meal, Chen Mo silently swore in his heart that he would never come to the post house to eat again in this life.

Uncle Wang didn't stop him, especially looking at Chen Mo's painful face but still insisting on paying the bill, a little funny, and a little inexplicable emotion, a sensible child is easy to get a good feeling.

It's a pity that the wrong child was cast, if this child can be voted into a rich family, maybe he can make a difference in the future, right?

"Two dogs." Seeing Chen Mo sitting back and drinking water silently, Uncle Wang suddenly asked, "Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?" ”

"Later?" Chen Mo thought for a while and said, "After the autumn harvest this year, I want to put on a few more acres of land, hire two tenant farmers, raise some chickens, and then ......."

"I said in the future, you will grow up a little more." Uncle Wang shook his head with a smile.

Although Uncle Wang looks rough, when he laughs, he inexplicably makes people feel at ease.

"In the future?" Chen Mo was a little confused, in his cognition, the future ...... Maybe it's not much different from now, at most there will be more land, in this life, if you can put down a hundred acres of fertile land, Chen Mo feels that he will be very powerful in this life, but there will always be some regrets.

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Mo suddenly said, "I want to study." ”

Uncle Wang was silent when he heard this, reading is too luxurious for people like them, in these years, as long as they are literate, even if they can't be an official, they can live well if they are an official in the government office, a third elder or a lizheng, if they have the luck, become a county commander, then for people like them, it is definitely a blessing of the ancestors, something they dare not think of.

The most important thing is that they have no access to books at all from such a background, and even if they give you a book, then someone has to teach them?

Scholars are high-class people, but they can't be invited with money, and scholars take the family very seriously. Dung Lang's reputation?

Uncle Wang looked at Chen Mo's glowing eyes, and his heart was inexplicably a little blocked, for people like them, they might not have a chance to study for the rest of their lives.

"Is it difficult?" Seeing that Uncle Wang didn't speak, Chen Mo couldn't help but ask.

It's not just difficult, it's basically impossible.

Uncle Wang smiled bitterly and nodded, he didn't know how to tell this kid, seeing that Chen Mo still wanted to ask, he quickly changed the topic and said, "Then why do you want to practice martial arts again?" ”

Chen Mo scratched his head, he didn't know how to explain the existence of the gods, he would learn things quickly: "I thought it would be difficult to study, but if he can practice martial arts, he may be easier if he contributes to the country in the future." ”

It's a good road, but it's just as bumpy.

Uncle Wang nodded when he heard this, he didn't want to discourage Chen Mo's enthusiasm, and asked, "So, are you going to join the army?" It's not a good road. ”

In Uncle Wang's opinion, this road is actually hopeless, not to mention that the Han conscription is very strict now, even if he joins the army, how many of the 100,000 Han army can really get ahead in the end?

"I haven't thought about it yet, I have to ask my mother what she means, but this is not in a hurry, I asked Ah Weng, now the Han army has to be thirteen years old to recruit, and there are still four years to go." Chen Mo smiled.

Also.

Uncle Wang nodded, didn't say anything more, in his opinion, this may be a child's momentary heartbeat, and when he is older, the oppression of survival may make him see the reality clearly, eliminate these unrealistic illusions, honestly farm the land, operate it for a lifetime, buy some land for the younger generations, and after three generations, maybe there will be a chance to study.

At the end of the day, Li Zheng took Uncle Cai and the four of them back with a donkey cart, Chen Mo was still a childlike after all, and the previous dullness was swept away, and he greeted him happily.

There are more things in the donkey cart than when I came.

"It's all done?" Li Zheng touched Chen Mo's head.

"Well, thanks to Uncle Wang." Chen Mo actually wanted to talk about the previous things, he thought that Uncle Wang was very handsome at that time, but Uncle Wang didn't let him say it, although he didn't know why.

"That'll be fine." Li Zheng nodded, beckoning everyone to drive the donkey cart out of the city.

On the way home, Chen Mo felt that everyone's spirits were a little tight, and they were not as relaxed as when they came, which made Chen Mo very puzzled, but why, in such an atmosphere, Chen Mo didn't dare to speak, it felt as if the sky would fall as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Uncle Wang, is this the wrong way?" Chen Mo leaned over to Uncle Wang, stretched out his hand and poked Uncle Wang, he remembered the road and would not go around to this side of the mountain.

"Yes, there's still something to do." Uncle Wang shook his head and said in a low voice: "No matter what you encounter for a while, don't make a sound, just watch." ”

"Oh~" Chen Mo nodded a little ignorantly, feeling what Uncle Wang meant, did he mean that something would happen in a while?

Xiaqiu is close to Huaishui, the waterways are vertical and horizontal, and there are few mountains, but there are still some, they met a group of people on the road, there were only four, but each of them was very fierce, and it gave Chen Mo a feeling, like when the dog in Lizheng's house was not familiar with him, and it seemed that he didn't know Uncle Wang and Zheng Tu before.

"Something brought?" A dark-skinned man glanced at Chen Mo and said, "Why are you still a child?" ”

"It just so happens that he is also coming, this kid is sensible, maybe he will have to come and walk this road in the future." Li Zheng looked around, and then waved his hand at Uncle Cai.

Uncle Cai and the other three villagers unloaded a few bags from the car and delivered them to each other.

"Everything is here, take a look."

The two sides seemed to be trading, Chen Mo didn't understand why he didn't go to the city, he secretly glanced at it a few times, and there was not only meat and salt in the bag, but even a few knives.

It wasn't until the transaction was completed and after leaving that Chen Mo obviously felt that everyone was relieved, and the atmosphere was not as depressing as it was at the beginning, so he came to Uncle Wang's side and asked quietly, "Uncle Wang, who are those people?" ”

Uncle Wang was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Bandit! Don't tell your mother about this, otherwise you won't want to come out with us in the future. ”

These two words made Chen Mo's head feel confused all the way, and until he returned to the middle, he still felt that his legs were a little shaky......
