Chapter 17 - Chance

He did not eat at night. As usual, he went to bed early when it was dark. During this period of time, the weather was rather hot. When he slept at night, he was covered in sweat. The room was also not very windy, making it even more stuffy and stuffy. Mo Xiao Yan suddenly thought of the air-conditioned fan. At this point, he could only bear with it.

Looking at this home that was as poor as a bath, Mo Xiao Yan swore in his heart that he would work hard and make the family live a good life.

In the morning, he was still woken up by the roosters outside, Mo Xiao Xia was already awake, and was obviously just someone's chicken, since his family was so poor, he obviously did not have any chickens.

Mo Xiao Yan also slowly woke up, the ancient people woke up rather early, almost all of them woke up as soon as the sun rose. It was as if he was already used to it. Since he was here, he should slowly adapt to the life here.

The morning was no exception, wild vegetable congee, two days ago there was sweet potato, today there was no such thing as sweet potato, I guess there was no sweet potato at home. Still, he had to dig up more herbs to sell and exchange for some money.

Mo Xiao Yan couldn't think of a good way to earn money at the moment, so he could only sell some herbs to supplement his family. When he earned enough money, he would have to replace the bowls and chopsticks at home with new ones. Otherwise, he would be afraid of cutting his mouth open at every meal.

After dinner, Mo Xiao Yan took the initiative to wash the pots and bowls, the Lee's was naturally pleased, his daughter finally understood the situation, and knew how to do housework.

After Mo Xiao Yan washed the bowls, he said to the Lee's, ”Mother, the sun is high today, so I will go up the mountain and find some herbs to dry. After a few days, I will sell them.”

”Is that one you got useful? ”Don't make it useless, they'll still laugh at you if you take it.” The Lee's obviously did not believe him.

Mo Xiao Yan acted like a spoiled child: ”Of course it's useful, I learned it from watching how Doctor Yu's disciple dug out herbs in the village.”

Lee's thought that since it was Doctor Yu's disciple who dug it up, it must be true. This girl had been wandering around outside all day, it was not strange for her to see it.

”Then you be careful. I'll be working there, so come back early and don't go into the mountains. It's dangerous inside, so I won't let Xiao Xia accompany you there, right?” Lee's said worriedly.

”No need, I'm not going into the mountain. I'm just looking for something nearby.”

”Xiao Yan, where are you going?” A crisp sound rang out.

Mo Xiao Yan turned to look at the person who spoke. It was Mo Chun Lan.

”Oh, it's nothing. I'm going to dig up some wild vegetables. Are you going?” Mo Xiao Yan said indifferently.
