It was not only Wei Mo's first birthday, but his family also unexpectedly prepared a gift for him.
Keep in mind this was in the 1960s! Getting an egg to eat on a birthday was considered a good thing, but his family prepared gifts for him.
This is not only a blessing for Wei Mo, but also a representation of everyone's respect for him and the importance of Wei Mo in everyone's hearts.
And Wei Mo is finally 6 years old today!
Grandma Yu and Grandpa Yu gave Wei Mo a small silver bracelet, while Li Xiuxiu generously offered a longevity lock.
It was something she had worn herself before, and it was made of gold. In those days, birthdays weren't celebrated much. However, this gold longevity lock saved Li Xiuxiu's life, but that's a story for later.
Seeing that even Yu Juan and Wang Ling had prepared gifts for him, Wei Mo was deeply moved. He hugged all the gifts to his chest and said to everyone,
"Thank you, thank you Grandma, Grandpa, and all the aunties."
In the 1960s, even in the city, people didn't pay much attention to celebrating birthdays, but Wei's mother still decided to celebrate Wei Mo's birthday, since the changes in the family were all due to Wei Mo.
Since the family reunion, the old man had not given the children any gifts, so he took this opportunity to give Wei Mo a pair of silver bracelets.
Of course, the twin granddaughters must also receive one, but that will be given on their birthdays.
Li Xiuxiu felt that her current life was all thanks to Wei Mo's help, so she gave Wei Mo the longevity lock she had worn as a child, since it was something a child would wear.
Moreover, it has a very good meaning. She didn't think it was particularly valuable; it represented a blessing.
The gifts Wang Ling and Yu Juan'er gave Wei Mo seemed quite ordinary, after all, they weren't nouveau riche like Li Xiuxiu, but Wei Mo liked them very much!
It was two pairs of cloth shoes! The size was just right for Wei Mo's feet, and Wei Mo happily thanked them.
This table of slightly sweet food was a gift that Qian Manman prepared for Wei Mo.
The two older sisters seemed a little anxious as they watched the adults giving their younger brother gifts, since they really didn't have anything good to give him.
Wei Xiaomin looked at the sweet potatoes on the table, picked one up, and handed it to Wei Mo.
"Little brother, this is for you."
Wei Mo looked at his sister's obedient appearance and took the sweet potato.
Lunch was a very enjoyable meal, and Wei Mo was even moved to tears.
After finishing his meal, Wei Mo took his gift and went back to his room.
These were, after all, the first birthday gifts he had ever received, and Wei Mo cherished them all the more.
The longevity lock that Li Xiuxiu gave him was made of gold, and the silver bracelet that the old man gave him was something Wei Mo couldn't bear to take back, because these things had sentimental value.
"If others treat me with respect, I will treat them with even greater respect." This is Wei Mo's motto in life.
After receiving gifts from his family, Wei Mo decided to repay them a hundredfold. However, he was still too young and could only use his identity as the Dragon King and his mother's help to improve everyone's living conditions.
Therefore, Wei Mo bought a lot of cooking oil and flour in the space trading mall. Wei Mo suddenly had a craving for fried dough twists and fried dough sticks. With these things, he could eat for a long time.
After buying the things, Wei Mo secretly called his mother into the room, and with a wave of his hand, five or six buckets of cooking oil and two bags of flour appeared on Wei Mo's kang (a heated brick bed).
Wei's mother hurriedly ran to close the door, gestured for her son to be quiet, and then secretly hid the things in the empty space behind the dish rack.
After finishing all that, Wei's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still thinking about how to explain the origin of these things to other people.
After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to send everyone else away and keep only himself at home, saying that it was brought back by Wei Guo's comrades.
Back in her room, she told her son not to say anything carelessly.
Actually, Wei Mo shouldn't have taken all these things out at once; he should have taken them out little by little, which would have been much safer.
However, Wei Mo also wanted to see how his mother would handle the situation. If she handled it well, there would be no problem taking things out in the future. It was also a test for his mother, since she couldn't be worried every time she took things out.
Although it might cause trouble, if it does, Wei Mo can simply put it back into his spatial storage, so they won't be able to find it, and then there won't be any problem.
Thinking of this, Wei Mo breathed a sigh of relief. While his mother was still thinking about how to send everyone away, Wei Mo spoke up from the side.
"Mom, let's go up the mountain to pick some wild vegetables and mushrooms. There are also many valuable medicinal herbs. I'll talk to Grandpa later and we can all go, okay? I want to go up the mountain to take a look."
Actually, it was Wei Mo who came up with the idea for Wei's mother. Only when no one else is home can these things be considered to have appeared out of thin air.
Hearing Wei Mo's words, Wei's mother's eyes lit up, and she said,
"Okay, okay, okay, go tell your grandpa."
Seeing that his mother agreed, Wei Mo jogged towards the old man.
The old man was playing with Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui when he saw his eldest grandson running over and immediately hugged Wei Mo in his arms.
The old man kissed Wei Mo on the cheek, and Wei Mo felt a sharp pain from the old man's beard, so he quickly pushed the old man's face away with his hand.
The old man laughed heartily at Wei Mo's disgusted look.
Wei Mo could only interrupt the old man as he continued to kiss his own lips, and then said to the old village chief.
"Grandpa, there are actually many medicinal herbs and wild vegetables on the mountain that can be sold for money, even if they're not worth much. Shall we go and pick some?"
When the old man heard Wei Mo's words, his eyes seemed to light up, considering the many things his eldest grandson had done.
They were fishing, setting traps to hunt, and using snares to catch birds; they seemed to do everything exceptionally well.
The old village chief was somewhat moved by what Wei Mo said. If the medicinal herbs on the mountain could really be sold for money, then the village would have another source of income.
Thinking of this, the old man immediately rushed back home, gathered several female educated youths, and told everyone to prepare to go up the mountain to take a look.
The old village chief also wanted to go with his eldest grandson to see if there were any medicinal herbs or other things. Even if there weren't, he could just treat it as taking the kids up the mountain for a trip.
When Grandpa Yu announced the news, everyone's eyes lit up, especially Grandma Yu, who loved picking wild vegetables and mushrooms.
The other educated youths have been staying home weaving fish baskets every day lately, and to be honest, they're getting a bit bored, so they're going up the mountain to have some fun.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and seeing that her chance had come, Wei Ma spoke up.
"Then you all go ahead, I'll stay home and keep an eye on things."
Everyone nodded, then shouldered their baskets, ready to set off into the mountains to search for the medicinal herbs Wei Mo had mentioned.
Along the way, Wei Mo continuously explained the basic knowledge of medicinal herbs to everyone.
Why does Wei Mo know all this? Because Wei Mo had just recently bought a book about herbs from the online store.
Daliu Village is located near the mountains, and the medicinal herbs there should be quite valuable, so they can be recycled, which will quickly increase the currency in your trading market.
Along the way, Wei Mo kept explaining to everyone what the specific medicinal materials looked like, and the environments in which some common medicinal materials liked to grow.
Everyone tried their best to remember what Wei Mo said.
Wei Mo stopped explaining when they reached the foot of the mountain. Everyone carried baskets of various sizes and began searching at the foot of the mountain.
There are many medicinal herbs on the mountain now, but most people don't recognize them. Some precious medicinal herbs are still very rare, such as old wild ginseng, which is extremely hard to come by.
However, there are many common herbs. After listening to Wei Mo's explanation, everyone began to disperse and search in a small area.
