The next day, when Bei Yutang got up, Xiao Zimo was no longer by her side.
"Mo'er." Bei Yutang called out, but there was no response.
Bei Yutang put on her clothes and walked out of the house, then she heard some noise coming from the kitchen.
When I walked into the kitchen, I saw Xiao Zimo already making a fire and cooking.
Bei Yutang looked at Xiao Zimo in surprise.
Little Mo looked at Bei Yutang timidly, "Mom, wash it and you can eat it later."
Bei Yutang washed her face, and Xiao Zimo had already opened the pot.
Bei Yutang took a look and saw that it was still the wild vegetable soup from yesterday.
"Did you pick this this morning?"
Xiao Zimo nodded.
Eating this all the time is not a good idea. Not only will it not keep you from getting hungry, but it will also not provide enough nutrition. After having breakfast of wild vegetable soup, Bei Yutang took out all the dozen or so copper coins in the cabinet.
These copper coins are all the property of this family.
The reason why this family is in such a difficult situation is all because of Kinomo.
Mu Zhitao was a typical lazy and gluttonous person. After paying taxes on the three acres of land she received from the Yang family, the remaining amount was enough for her mother and daughter to eat on a daily basis. However, she was a woman who didn't know how to manage her finances and spent money lavishly. After each autumn harvest, she would sell the little grain she had earned for silver and squander it all.
Now, shortly after the autumn harvest, Mu Zhitao sold grain and earned two taels of silver, which she used to please her man. Now there is only half a tael of silver left in the family.
A dozen copper coins is indeed a little too little, but it can buy some food.
Bei Yutang took Xiao Zimo to the town to buy food. It was more than 20 miles from their Nanxi Village to the town, and it would take at least an hour to walk there.
Bei Yutang walked for half an hour and was exhausted. This body was really weak. If it were any other peasant woman, she wouldn't feel this way even after walking for several hours, let alone more than 20 miles.
At this time, the sound of wheel came from behind. Bei Yutang turned around in surprise. The person driving the cart was Uncle Niu from the same village. When Uncle Niu saw Bei Yutang and his son on the roadside, he did not stop when passing by them, but sped up instead.
Bei Yutang wanted to call for help, but his voice was stuck in his throat.
Come on, this is obviously not welcoming them.
I couldn't rely on others, so I had to go on my own. By the time Bei Yutang and the others arrived in town, the sun was already high.
It is called a town, but from Bei Yutang's point of view, its scale is like a more prosperous village in the real world. The main street is only about a hundred meters long, and all the shops are on both sides of the street.
It was the first time for Xiao Zimo to come to the town. He was very excited and stared at both sides of the street with his dark eyes. When he saw the small stall selling candy figures on the street, his eyes lit up, but he soon lowered his head.
Bei Yutang noticed this and took his hand as they walked to the candy figurine stall. She lowered her head and asked, "Mo'er, which one do you like?"
Little Mo suddenly raised his head, his black pupils flashing, "Mom, do you want to buy something for Mo'er?"
Bei Yutang's heart was pounding when she saw his eyes that were as bright as black grapes. Look at the eyes of this little guy, his innocent and pure look, so adorable.
"Yeah." Bei Yutang rubbed his little head lovingly, "Pick one you like."
Xiao Zimo didn't choose, but instead asked the stall owner, "Uncle, how much is a sugar figurine?"
"Two cents each, three cents for two." The stall owner looked at the cute little boy Zi Mo and replied with a smile.
Little Mo raised his head and said to Bei Yutang, "Mom, Mo'er doesn't want to eat."
