"Xiao Xi! Don't buy cilantro when you go shopping!"

"knew!"

"Also, I'm not eating bean sprouts and tofu today. I'm almost turning into bean sprouts and tofu after eating so much!"

"We're almost out of money! Should I buy you a roast chicken?"

"Oh, that's a great feeling!"

"Haha!" Bai Xi glanced at Chen Yu, picked up the vegetable basket and went out.

Chen Yu was swaying in his chair, with two cucumber slices stuck on his eyes.

"Remember! If you don't want to eat cucumbers, you can buy some tomatoes!"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Bai Xi shook his head helplessly, like a little adult, but in fact, he looked only seven or eight years old.

"Don't forget to go collect herbs later. We have no money at home!" Bai Xi said again, then walked out of the yard.

A brindle dog followed him out.

"Yeah! I'll go after an early nap!" Chen Yu turned over.

After a while, Chen Yu peeled off the cucumber slices and noticed that the little girl had walked away. He said to the little squirrel on the tree:

"Take the medicine basket and go pick some herbs. If you pick up some elixirs for me, I'll beat you to death!"

“Squeak, squeak, squeak!”

The little squirrel grabbed the medicine basket, rolled his eyes, and disappeared in the yard in a short while.

“Oh, raising a child is so hard!”

Chen Yu turned it over and got two fresh cucumber slices.

He moved to the town where he lives two years ago, although he moved here in the name of Bai Xi's schooling, but in fact he couldn't bear the hard life.

The town where they are located is called Huaiyang Town, which was a famous wealthy town in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is the human dynasty of this world.

This world is one of the three thousand small worlds, with hundreds of races, and the human race is just at the bottom of the race.

However, the Ming Dynasty, as one of the peak dynasties of human power, is not something that anyone dares to provoke.

What's more, Huaiyang Town where Chen Yu is located is in the heart of the Ming Dynasty. It has been peaceful and prosperous for three hundred years.

This small world is a low-level one-star, the Qingyang World.

Although it is only a low-level planet, it is a hundred times larger than the Earth, with fourteen upper continents, eight hundred lower continents, and thousands of islands.

However, the human race only controls three relatively barren lower continents, so it is considered to be included in the hundred races.

In fact, ordinary people have no idea that there are hundreds of races in this world. In addition, the upper class also deliberately conceals it, so most people think that this world is controlled by humans.

There are only some scattered small tribes and some demon tribes on the surrounding sea islands, and the outside world knows nothing about them.

What's more, ordinary people may not even leave their own county in their lifetime, let alone cross the sea and find other continents.

Only cultivators with an orderly inheritance know the vastness of the world.

For example, the Ming Dynasty ruled the richest area of ​​Shenzhou. The current emperor was eager to cross the East China Sea and attack the lower continent Jiaozhou, which was 20,000 miles away from the sea.

The mermaids of Jiaozhou are weaker than humans among all the other races and only control one continent. The recent chaos in the three major mermaid dynasties gave the Ming Dynasty, which was at its peak, an opportunity to take advantage of.

Chen Yu was not interested in these things. There would be no fighting within ten years anyway, and by the time ten years came, he would have already slipped away.

on the street

Xiaoxi counted the copper coins in her hand with a sad face. She spent half of it on buying half a chicken for her brother, and had ninety-eight coins left.

Two tomatoes cost two cents, half a pound of bean sprouts cost one cent. I ran out of salt at home, so I spent twenty cents. I also bought three pounds of meat bones for fifteen cents. Now I have exactly sixty cents left.

"Alas, I didn't find any herbs last time. If this continues, I'll lose all my money."

Xiaoxi looked miserable.

"After breakfast is ready, I'll go find some odd jobs. I can't just wait for my brother, or I'll be left with nothing."

She really cares about this family.

Back then in the village, my brother was lucky enough to pick up a magical medicine in the mountains and sold it to a monk for a hundred taels of gold.

But in order to make her life better, her brother did not want to be a peasant in the village, and even did not get married and have children. Instead, he took her to the heart of the dynasty, spent fifty taels of gold, bought a courtyard, and paid six years of tuition for her to attend the best private school.

After two years, and with my brother's mouth shut, there's basically nothing left.

She barely made a living by relying on her brother's medicinal herbs. Because she had excellent academic performance and beautiful handwriting, she also worked as a tutor privately, teaching four or five-year-old children to read and write. In addition, she copied books and saved some money.

By then, I have to find a wife for my brother. He is already 22 years old and still a bachelor. If he were in the village, he would be laughed to death.

The smart little Xiaoxi shook her head. She had already started to worry about her brother's marriage.

But when I think of my brother’s tired look, which girl would like him?

"Oh!" Xiaoxi sighed deeply.

An aunt was walking towards them.

"Xiao Xi, are you out buying groceries?" Aunt Zhao is her next-door neighbor. She has a basket hanging on her arm, and it is obvious that she is also out buying groceries.

"Well, hello Aunt Zhao, I just finished shopping and am ready to go back." Xiao Xi smiled sweetly.

Aunt Zhao was a little angry when she saw this: "Look at your brother, he's really lazy and eats all day long, why does he let you go out to buy groceries alone every day? What if he runs into a bad guy?"

As if he smelled the roast chicken in the basket, he immediately shook his head and sighed: "Ah, your brother asked you to buy it again, right? Bai is so handsome, but he doesn't know how to be frugal and manage the household. Look at you, he's already 22 years old, and other people have a bunch of sons, but he still acts like a ghost who doesn't know how to die."

Xiao Xi shook her head and said nothing more: "Aunt, I'll go back first. After my brother finishes eating, he still needs to go collect herbs."

The little flower dog followed closely.

"Go back quickly, Auntie still needs to buy some vegetables."

Looking at Xiaoxi running back, Aunt Zhao shook her head with regret: "What a good child, but now she has a brother like this. Her life is over."

In the yard, Chen Yu got up from his chair at some point, eating the newly ripened seeds of sunflowers and teasing a small silver dragon fish.

Okay, it’s the Haoyue Dragon Fish King.

In order to relieve his boredom, Chen Yu called many old friends over.

Look, there is a nest of mice in the house, and they are lying in the sun at the entrance of the cave.

"Brother, I'm back!"

Chen Yu's eyes lit up: "Oh, you bought a roast chicken! Let me take a look first!"

"It's the tip of your nose. Eat it when it's time to eat!" Xiaoxi dodged it and ran to the kitchen.

"Tsk! If you don't want to eat it, then don't eat it!"

Chen Yu curled his lips, flicked his fingers, and with a thud, a melon seed directly bounced the little dragon fish to the bottom of the tank.

The Haoyue Dragon Fish King slowly floated up, revealing his white belly. God have mercy on him, he really wasn't pretending!

After dinner

Chen Yu pretended to carry a medicine basket, but actually went for a stroll in the back mountain. When dusk came, the little squirrel would come out and pour the herbs it found into his medicine basket.

Then he could lie down for ten days or half a month. No wonder people said he was lazy and gluttonous, because he was really lazy and gluttonous.

Humming a little tune and going to the back mountain.

"Red Dust Guest, cock-a-doodle-doo!

The oriole chirps,

See whose house the water flows under the bridge.

Listen to the sound of the pipa!

I'm going to!"

A figure suddenly appeared beside him!

Zhang's face was solemn: "Your Majesty, there is something causing trouble outside!"

"ha?"
