Back home, Wei Mo prepared lunch, only to find his house bare and with very little food left.
Wei Mo opened the trading space and looked for cheap, easily explained grains.
Sweet potatoes were ultimately chosen, mainly because they were cheap; 10 jin (5 catties) cost only 18 gold coins.
I gritted my teeth and bought 10 jin (5 catties) of rice, threw it into the empty rice container, and then closed the lid.
Upon searching, he discovered that there were no matches or tinderboxes in the house, which must have been carried by his mother.
Let's wait until Wang Zhenhua comes back before we talk about it, otherwise there's no way to explain it.
After throwing the crucian carp into the broken jar, Wei Mo returned to the kang (a heated brick bed) to wait, wondering what kind of lie he could tell to cover up the origin of the sweet potatoes.
Wei Mo, lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), drifted off to sleep.
Wei Ma collected four baskets of pig feed, earning two work points. Dragging her somewhat tired body, she returned home to cook for the children.
Slowly pushing open the door, I saw several palm-sized crucian carp.
Wang Zhenhua quickly closed the door, looked at Wei Mo lying on the kang (a heated brick bed), and woke him up.
"Hmm?"
Wei Mo rubbed his eyes with his little hands, looking at his young and beautiful mother in front of him, still a little sleepy.
"What's wrong, Mom? Have you eaten?"
Wang Zhenhua helped Wei Mo sit up and held Wei Mo's small hand in his.
"Xiao Mo, where did the fish in the jar come from?"
Wang Zhenhua stared intently at Wei Mo, awaiting his answer.
"Li Fu and I caught these in front of the dilapidated temple. Mom, look how good I am! I caught so many! I even dreamed that the Dragon King was sending us food!"
When Wei's mother heard that Wei Mo had caught the fish, she was very happy. She didn't even care how he caught them. With five crucian carp, she could at least have some meat.
"Don't mention the Dragon King anymore, do you hear me, Wei Mo?"
Due to the changing times and the breaking down of feudal superstitions, most temples were destroyed by some people, including the Dragon King Temple by the river.
Wei Mo knew the reason, of course, but he still had to pretend to be a child, deceive his family, and keep comforting himself that it was a white lie.
"But Grandpa Dragon King sent grain to our family. It's in the rice jar. Mom, if you don't believe me, go and see for yourself."
Seeing his son's serious expression, Wang Zhenhua was still pulled by Wei Mo to the rice bin.
Wei Mo picked up the lid of the rice container, and bright red sweet potatoes appeared in Wang Zhenhua's eyes.
Wang Zhenhua rubbed his eyes. They were still there!
She reached out and took the sweet potato, then ate it raw without washing it.
Sweet potato juice filled Wang Zhenhua's mouth.
She stared wide-eyed at Wei Mo, her voice trembling slightly.
"Son, are you telling the truth? It really was a gift from the Dragon King?"
Once he came to his senses, Wang Zhenhua didn't wait for Wei Mo's reply. He quickly bolted the door and then pulled Wei Mo into the inner room.
He looked very excited, and his body was trembling.
Wei Mo held his mother's hand, pretending not to understand anything.
"It was the dream I had when Mom woke me up. It was a flying dragon that told me it would bring me food and come to see me again. Then Mom woke me up."
Wang Zhenhua now has no choice but to believe it, otherwise where did all that grain come from? He's just worried about his son's safety.
"Xiao Mo, listen to Mommy, you must not tell anyone about this, not even your sister, understand? This is a secret between you and Mommy. If you can do this, Mommy will buy you candy."
Wei Mo pretended to be excited, covering her mouth with her small hand as if to protect the secret, and even her words were a little hard to hear.
"Mommy, I want some candy!"
Wei's mother naturally understood what Wei Mo meant and happily stroked her son's little head.
I never imagined my son would be protected by God and encounter a true dragon! We must protect this secret.
Superstition is very dangerous nowadays, so Wei's mother could only keep reminding Wei Mo.
Wei Mo nodded repeatedly until his stomach growled.
"Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat that red thing. I want to eat two!"
"Okay, Mom will make you some food now."
Wei Mo followed behind his mother, worried that Wang Zhenhua wouldn't be willing to eat it.
"Mom, I want two, my sister will each have two, and Mom, you're an adult, so you need four."
Wei Mo, who was trying to look young, even counted the number on her fingers.
Then straighten your bent fingers.
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10. Mom, there are 10 red ones in total."
Seeing that Wang Zhenhua only took 4 sweet potatoes, Wei Mo urged him on.
"Grandpa Dragon King said he'll give it to us again in the future!"
After Wei Mo finished speaking, she covered her mouth, looking like she was keeping a secret.
After listening to Wei Mo's words, Wang Zhenhua gritted his teeth and took out 10 sweet potatoes!
Wei Mo sighed from the side, "It still won't work. It would be best to perform it for Mom on the spot."
Watching his mother gut the crucian carp, Wei Mo bought a bag of table salt from the trading system. Fortunately, the packaging of the table salt was completely transparent, so he simply took it out of his backpack and threw it in front of his mother.
"Mommy, Grandpa Dragon King said he gave me table salt. Mommy, what is table salt?"
Seeing the bag of salt that had appeared out of nowhere in front of him, and following Wei Mo's words, Wang Zhenhua stopped what he was doing, tore a small opening in the bag, dipped his finger in it, and put it in his mouth.
Wang Zhenhua's pupils dilated, but he was reluctant to spit it out and quickly drank a mouthful of well water.
Then he pulled Wei Mo down to his knees and kowtowed to the air while muttering something under his breath.
"Thank you, Dragon King. Thank you, Dragon King."
After kowtowing, he quickly got up, checked to make sure no one else was around, and then began to instruct Wei Mo.
"Xiao Mo, talk to the Dragon King and tell him not to appear in front of others, or it will harm you."
Wei Mo was touched by his mother's rambling, but at the same time he felt that he had deceived her and felt a little sad. He could only nod repeatedly.
A large pot of fish soup was steamed with sweet potatoes on top. Wei Ma was adding firewood to the stove and occasionally adjusting her bangs in front of her eyes.
The sound of Wei Xiaomin and Wei Xiaohui chattering outside the door could be heard; they were clearly very happy.
Wang Zhenhua opened the door and saw his two daughters carrying a basket of wild vegetables.
Wei Xiaomin kept glancing around, and Wei Mo ran over.
"Sister, let me help you."
The older sister quickly waved her hand while lowering her voice.
"No need, little brother, be careful."
When Wang Zhenhua heard his eldest daughter say that, he knew there must be something there, so he quickly came over to take the basket and locked the door after everyone had gone inside.
Wei Xiaomin excitedly took the wild vegetables from the basket, revealing the wild duck eggs underneath.
"Mom, look! My sister and I found these by the ruined temple today. There are eight of them! Enough for my little brother to eat for a few days."
Wei Xiaomin's words struck Wei Mo's heart once again, leaving him deeply moved.
She quickly browsed the items in the trading mall, looking for things suitable for her family. This kind of sister deserves Wei Mo's heartache!
Popular online candy, 80 pieces, four flavors mixed, 5.8 gold coins.
The pink children's headbands are very pretty and should suit my two older sisters perfectly. They cost 0.8 gold coins each, and I bought four for 3.2 gold coins.
Clam oil, 12 for 12 gold coins, buy it.
The original 68 gold coins were reduced to only 29, but Wei Mo felt that these expenses were justified. Looking at his sister and mother who always cared about him, Wei Mo smiled brightly.
