Early the next morning, Chen Mo got up early as usual, learned a discourse from his mother, memorized it, and wrote it again, and then came to the grain field with his back basket to start a busy day, but unexpectedly saw a few friends with blue noses and swollen faces.

"Addo, what's going on?" Chen Mo looked at Ado in confusion.

"My dad beat me." Addo wept and mourned.

"Why?" Chen Mo was a little inexplicable, how could a good person be beaten?

"Last night, I asked my father why people died, and my father couldn't answer, so he beat me up!" As Addo spoke, a few tears of grievance flowed down.

Chen Mo was suddenly a little glad that his mother was knowledgeable and reasonable, unlike Uncle Zhang, who would fight if he couldn't say anything.

"Then don't ask, what's the use of asking? Aren't the days the same? Chen Mo grinned, wanting to comfort a few words, but he didn't know how to comfort, he could only solve the problem from the root, now thinking about it, this matter was very far away for them, why bother asking? The fathers are in a bad mood, just like Uncle Zhang, they may do it directly.

"Brother Ergou, Uncle Wang is back, did you ask him if he would like to teach us?" Addo asked, wiping his snot.

"No, Uncle Wang, he is injured, it is impossible to come to teach, he is busy with his own affairs, don't you want to learn?" Chen Mo looked at Ado suspiciously, he retreated after not practicing for a while on the first day, and finally the stick training started to frolic with everyone, which made Chen Mo very boring.

"Then go and ask Uncle Wang how to teach us." Ado wiped his tears and said, "When I learn my skills, my father won't dare to bully me like now." ”

Chen Mo glanced at Ado strangely: "What? Do you still want to do it with your dad? ”

"It's not ......" A trace of fear flashed in Ado's eyes and said: "It's just that I think that as long as I have the ability, my father shouldn't beat me as casually as he does now." ”

Uncle Zhang is a well-known good man, and Chen Mo doesn't understand why Uncle Zhang often beats Ado at home, but Chen Mo doesn't want to take care of other people's affairs, so he nodded perfunctorily and said, "It's okay, when today's work is done, I'll ask Uncle Wang." ”

In fact, Chen Mo didn't want to disturb Uncle Wang at this time, Uncle Wang's mood was very low yesterday, and by his side, he would also be affected.

"Aweng, you have too much land here." At noon, Chen Mo, who had been busy all morning, sat beside Li Zheng and complained a little that it was not easy for them to dig ten manure tanks in this hundred acres of thin fields.

"Alright, Aweng will bring some good things today, so let them eat them." Rizheng smiled and beckoned to his daughter-in-law.

In Chen Mo's curious gaze, Ah Weng's daughter-in-law came over with a wooden plate and placed it on the table on the edge of the sky.

"This is ......" Chen Mo looked curiously at the things in the wooden plate, a string of purple-black beads, washed very cleanly, but Chen Mo had never seen it on weekdays.

"Peach." Li Zheng twisted a peeled one and threw it into his mouth, looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "The food from the Western Regions brought back by Zhang Qian when he was on an envoy to the Western Regions is now being grown in many places in the Central Plains, and the Fang Market in the county town occasionally sells it." ”

"How much does it cost?" Chen Mo took one from it, peeled it off and threw it into his mouth as he did it, and suddenly a sweet and sour feeling spread along his taste buds, and Chen Mo narrowed his eyes with some enjoyment.

"Three bucks." Li Zheng thought for a moment.

"It's not very expensive, next time I go to the county seat, I will definitely buy some for my mother." Chen Mo said vaguely, such a sweet thing, the price is not expensive, why didn't you find it before?

"Three dollars a piece." Li Zheng peeled off another peach and threw it into his mouth.

"Ahem, cough, cough~" Pu Tao's son was stuck in his throat, making Chen Mo cough violently, and looked at Li Zheng with an incredible face: "Ah Weng just said how much is three dollars?" ”

"One." Li Zheng leisurely spit out the peach, looked at Chen Mo and said, "What? Want to buy it? ”

Chen Mo originally wanted to eat another one, but now, looking at the peach on the plate, he couldn't do it, and said, "Ah Weng, this is too expensive, we can't eat it." ”

"Eat with confidence, you won't ask for money, these days, you little guys help me water the ground, if you don't entertain you, others will only say that I am unreasonable." Li Zheng said with a smile.

Chen Mo didn't know whether to refuse or not, and finally called a group of teenagers over according to Li Zheng's instructions.

"It's delicious, it's so sweet!"

Watching a group of people eating those peaches without heart and lungs, Chen Mo was a little uncomfortable, what kind of peach is this, this is obviously eating money!

"If you don't eat it, it's gone." Li Zheng didn't rob these people, but just looked at Chen Mo with a smile.

"I can't eat it." Chen Mo sighed, three dollars a peach, he wanted his mother to taste it, but the price was ...... The money to buy such a string is enough for the mother and son to live for a month.

After just a while, the peach in the wooden plate was snatched up by a group of teenagers.

"A-Ong, what is this, it's so sweet!" Ado casually wiped the liquid on his hand on his clothes, and looked at Li Zheng with a curious expression.

"Pu Tao, it's generally not easy to buy, stay for a while, I'll wait for you to eat." Li Zheng didn't talk about the price again, and took advantage of the situation to divert the topic.

Eat brown rice at noon, with some cooked vegetables, most people eat corn, and only those with such a family background can eat rice, for Chen Mo and these people, it is good to be able to eat three or five meals of brown rice all year round, and it is impossible to think of better polishing rice.

"It's over in the afternoon, you go and see your Uncle Wang." After eating, Li Zheng called Chen Mo aside, handed him a package and said, "Bring these to him." ”

"Ah Weng, why is Uncle Wang sullen?" Chen Mo looked at Li Zheng and said, "When I came this morning, I saw the aunt of the Cai family crying in front of Uncle Wang's house, is it a little too much?" Uncle Cai was not killed by Uncle Wang. ”

"You're too young, there are some things, you'll understand later." Li Zheng sighed, sat on the wooden pier next to him and shook his head, "Now you don't understand this." ”

Chen Mo was a little unconvinced by these words, but it was not easy to follow Li Zheng, so he could only take a group of teenagers to continue digging the dung pit sullenly.

In the evening, Chen Mo said goodbye to Ado and them, and went straight to Uncle Wang's house, the Cai family's aunt was still there, Uncle Wang tied a cloth belt with one hand, and held a bowl of porridge in front of the Cai family's aunt and said: "Brother and sister, even if you don't eat, you should let the child eat a bite, do you really want him to starve to death here?" ”

"You don't need to pretend to be a good person!" Aunt Cai's aunt slapped the bowl away, and a bowl of corn and rice splashed on the ground, Dumb looked at it and swallowed her saliva, and when she saw Chen Mo carrying the package, she opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she couldn't say it.
