Small peasant girl's koi daily life

Chapter 11 The Broken Pomegranate

Landlord Zhu shouted, "Stop." The driver directly controlled the carriage and stopped.

Landlord Zhu slowly got off the carriage. He was a little hunchbacked, and with his chubby body, his movements were a little slow. Maybe he had been sitting in the carriage for a long time, and he suddenly stood up and felt a little uncomfortable. It was not very stable, fearing that his master would fall, the driver also supported Zhu Zhuzhu with his hands and helped him stand up straight.

Landlord Zhu simply leaned on the side of the carriage and said to Mo Mo, "Little girl, do you really have big bugs? Bring it here and show it to the lord, and if it is suitable, the lord will buy it!"

Mo Mo nodded vigorously and said, "Yes! We hit an oversized worm, which is bigger than me! Dad, you quickly took the worm and showed it to the old man. He said he wanted to buy ours. What about a big worm!"

Mo Haisheng came to his senses directly, he directly carried the bag with the big worm on his back and rushed to Zhu Landlord.

Old Man Mo touched Mo Mo's little head, and stuffed a meat bun he bought specially into Mo Mo's arms. He said, "My dear grandson, it's almost noon, eat this big meat bun."

Then he handed a bag of copper purses wrapped in oiled paper to his daughter-in-law, and he followed Mo Haisheng to Zhu Landlord's side.

Mo Mo thanked her grandfather sweetly, while Liu was a little confused. Father-in-law never cared about money, and her mother-in-law was not in good health, so all the money in the family belonged to her. Now, why did father-in-law suddenly give her a pack of copper coins?
Liu opened the oiled paper that wrapped the copper coins and looked at the nine copper plates left in the oiled paper bag. She realized that these were the copper plates she wrapped this morning, the money from the doctor and the errand fee for Li Erzhu.

The situation of Li Erzhu's family is similar to Mo Mo's family. Li Erzhu's mother is also seriously ill, and their family's fields have been sold out. Now they rely on helping others run errands, hunt, drive ox carts and pull people and goods to make money.

Li Erzhu's errand fee for the doctor's trip was two cents, and the doctor charged eight cents for the trip to the village, so Liu's package included ten copper plates.After subtracting one copper plate for Mo Mo's meat buns, there are only nine copper plates left.

Liu's family was a bit dumbfounded. There was not much money left in the family. Father-in-law was willing to buy a big meat bun for Mo'er.

Mo Mo, who was on the side, couldn't care about looking at her mother or eating meat buns, because she found a funny thing - the color of Zhu Landlord's lips is still ruddy, with yellow and black teeth, and they are open. It looked like a big, tattered pomegranate.

Mo Mo just looked at it, it was really like this, the big pomegranate they bought was like this before. It looked good on the outside, and it was bright red. When I opened it, it looked like this!
Landlord Zhu was busy looking at the big worm, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Mo Mo's little movements.After Liu Shi was shocked, she began to pay attention to the situation on Zhu Landlord's side and her daughter.

Liu Shi immediately discovered that his daughter had been staring at Zhu Landlord's mouth. This kind of behavior was impolite. If it offended the nobles, it would be a big trouble.

Liu Shi immediately said to Mo Mo: "Mo'er, grandpa gave you a big meat bun. You should eat it quickly. If you don't eat it, it will be cold." It's better to wait until you get home to criticize the girl. Being so close, now is not a good time to criticize the girl.

It happened that Mo Mo didn't want to read it, so Mo Mo directly focused his attention on the big meat bun, Mo Mo touched the big meat bun in her arms, she said in a milky voice, "Mother, we want this meat bun. Let’s eat together, if you want grandma, daddy and you can eat it! I don’t want to eat it by myself. Let’s go home and eat together!”

After that, Mo Mo wanted to jump off the ox cart and go there to see the big worms, but Liu Shi definitely wouldn't let him. It would be a big deal if the girl had a nightmare at night.
