Qian Manman has become the head chef of the family. Although it takes up some of her knitting time, she is very willing to do so. Moreover, the other female educated youths are secretly discussing how to repay Wei Mo's family.
They felt embarrassed that all their food and drink came from Wei Mo's family, and they also felt that their own food was not very presentable.
In this world where we eat rice and wheat flour every day, how can we possibly offer coarse grains as a way of repaying a favor?
However, she still took the initiative to move her things to Wei Mo's house, otherwise she really wouldn't have the face to stay there, and she felt she owed him a lot.
When Wei Mo returned with Li Xiuxiu, his eyes lit up when he saw what Wang Ling and Yu Juan were holding.
Look, here's what we'll collect for tomorrow's recycling! Top-quality wild vegetables and premium wild hazel mushrooms!
Wei Mo still enjoyed himself that night, enduring the beating while snuggling into Li Xiuxiu's arms. Li Xiuxiu, seeing Wei Mo arguing with her every day, found life more interesting these days and let the little brat have his way.
When Wei Mo opened his eyes again, he found that he was the only one left in the room. He quickly got up and dressed.
Everyone is now full of enthusiasm for the future. They get up early in the morning to start weaving fish baskets. Although they are no longer working, they are still reluctant to give up their work points, since work points are food.
Wei Mo picked up the steaming buns from the pot and started eating, wondering what he should do today.
If Wei Mo were asked to weave fish baskets every day, how could he agree? He's a 5-year-old child, and he can do whatever he wants!
Since that's the case, how can we waste this wonderful childhood? Of course, we should choose to keep playing!
I'm going to treat my family to a better meal; we're getting tired of eating the same things every day!
If others knew that Wei Mo was being pretentious, they would probably beat him to death to vent their anger.
Now, the years of famine are not many years ago, and everyone is struggling to have enough to eat. Even in corn porridge, you can hardly find any crushed corn.
You're so picky about eating rice and flour every day, who else should I beat if not you? Serves you right for pretending to be poor.
However, families with fish baskets will gradually see their lives improve. After all, there are so many fish in the river, and with the river and the fish baskets they make, it's not a problem for them to make a living.
"Mom, I'd like to go play by the mountainside for a while, is that okay?"
Wei Mo's words shocked everyone; for such a big child to go up the mountainside was tantamount to suicide!
However, Wei's mother hesitated. Her son was protected by the Dragon King, so there shouldn't be any major problems. But she was just afraid of the worst-case scenario.
"No, little brat, it's dangerous near the mountain. You might get carried off by wolves."
Li Xiuxiu was a little anxious and really didn't understand why Sister Wang hadn't said anything, but she still expressed her opinion and disagreed!
"Are you sure you're okay? This is no joke, son. Why don't you wait a bit before you go up the mountain?"
Wei's mother was also somewhat indifferent, but seeing Wei Mo's little expression, she still couldn't bring herself to refuse outright. After thinking for a moment, she continued to speak.
"You're not allowed to go into the mountains, you can only wander around at the foot of the mountain, understand?"
When Wei Mo heard his mother agree, he ran over, kissed her on the cheek, and nodded to indicate that he understood.
However, Li Xiuxiu couldn't help but worry, since she knew nothing about the Dragon King.
Seeing that Sister Wang agreed, Li Xiuxiu frowned and then slowly spoke.
"I'll go with him too. I don't trust the little kid to go alone!"
Wei's mother was especially happy to see Li Xiuxiu accompany her. Now everyone knows that Li Xiuxiu is strong and can protect Wei Mo without any problem.
"Then I'll give you the fish basket I wove today. Please keep an eye on this naughty child for me."
Li Xiuxiu shook her head, rejecting Wang Zhenhua's suggestion, and then sighed. This little brat only thinks about how to cause trouble every day, how can this be allowed!
Seeing Li Xiuxiu going with him, Wei Mo's small eyes lit up. With the strength of the violent woman, it seemed that he could do more things!
I quickly purchased the trap-making technique from the trading market and then learned it!
Little bunny, little field mouse, I'm here! Don't rush!
"Aunt Xiuxiu, let's go to the brigade to borrow a shovel and an axe. Today I'll teach you something else!"
In today's society, almost no household has any iron tools. If you want to use them, you have to borrow them from the production brigade.
There are even large families that don't separate, simply because they don't have an iron pot. If they separate, there will be no place to cook, and no kitchen knife to cut things.
Li Xiuxiu was carrying Wei Mo towards the brigade headquarters when she bumped into the only male educated youth, Zhao Qingshan!
"Are you blind? Can't you even avoid me? You keep running into me! I'm going to tell the captain you're a scoundrel!"
Wei Mo was in excruciating pain from the impact. Li Xiuxiu had clearly tried to avoid it, but they still collided. Wei Mo wouldn't believe that Zhao Qingshan had ulterior motives!
Before Li Xiuxiu and Zhao Qingshan could speak, Wei Mo started cursing!
Zhao Qingshan was startled by Wei Mo and wanted to explain, but if the captain convicted him of hooliganism, he would be severely punished, if not killed.
As for why the captain would help Wei Mo, that has to do with the times. It's obvious that people would side with their own people regardless of the reason!
If you're an outsider and want to gain a foothold in the village, you'll be bullied unless you completely change your identity to that of a villager!
Wei Mo was actually just trying to scare Zhao Qingshan. This guy was obviously no good; he had deliberately bumped into us. Wei Mo didn't believe he didn't have any bad intentions.
"I'm sorry, Li Zhiqing, I didn't see you."
Only a fool would believe that. Wei Mo pouted, which Li Xiuxiu saw and couldn't help but find amusing. However, Wei Mo was also helping her deal with this problem.
"Alright, we're fine. Just be more careful next time. You're so arrogant. Auntie, let's go."
Before Li Xiuxiu could speak, Wei Mo grabbed her clothes and started to leave.
Zhao Qingshan quickly followed and reached out to stop Li Xiuxiu.
"Oh, so you're really planning to flirt with Aunt Xiuxiu? I'll tell the captain in a bit and have you shot!"
Several female educated youths, including Yuanbei, were annoyed by Zhao Qingshan, who was like a persistent leech, always clinging to them.
However, seeing Zhao Qingshan withdraw his hand from blocking her, Li Xiuxiu was somewhat pleased. Although the little brat always annoyed her, he had Zhao Qingshan completely under his control.
"No, I don't have any. It's just that, Li Zhiqing, could you lend me some money? I'll pay you back in a while."
Zhao Qingshan finally revealed his purpose, knowing that Li Xiuxiu was the richest among those in the know, which was no secret.
Li Xiuxiu frowned, never expecting this man to be so shameless as to come to her again to borrow money.
“You haven’t paid back the 2 yuan you borrowed last time, and it hasn’t been long since then. Why are you borrowing again? You now owe me 10 yuan.”
Ten yuan is not a small amount. You have to understand that a family may not see much money in a year, and some impoverished families may not even have ten yuan in income a year.
"Shameless! You borrowed money and won't pay it back! How can a grown man have the nerve to do that! Go borrow money from your aunt again, pay it back, or I'll sue you!"
Seeing that he had no chance of getting the money and was about to be chased by debt collectors, Zhao Qingshan hurriedly ran away without even saying goodbye.
Wei Mo was getting annoyed and wanted to say something, but Li Xiuxiu was laughing happily and kissed Wei Mo on the cheek. This was the first time she had made this clingy little guy run away in a panic, and Li Xiuxiu was genuinely happy.
