[QTC] MBDT Chapter 85

“Mother.”

Xiao Zimo stretched out his hand to take the things in her hands. Bei Yutang gave him the small things and carried the rest by herself.

Back home, Bei Yutang put the white flour and rice into the rice tank. Four pieces of cloth were placed in the room, and the rest of the vegetables and meat were taken to the kitchen by Xiao Zimo.

Xiao Zimo was very surprised when he looked at such things.

Isn’t there no money at home?!

“What are you thinking about?” Bei Yutang asked, touching the little guy’s head.

“Mother, don’t we have no money at home?” After asking, Xiao Zimo realized that he had asked a question that he should not have asked.

He shrunk his neck and lowered his head, not daring to look at her.

“Mother sold some things and made some money. After the spring, Mother will send you to school.” Bei Yutang said slowly.

Xiao Zimo raised his head in surprise. His eyes were full of disbelief and murmured: “Mother, did you say you wanted to send me to study?”

“Yes.”

After Xiao Zimo was overjoyed, he immediately felt something was wrong and said: “Mother, studying is very expensive.”

This kid is now starting to worry about money.

“Don’t worry, Mother will earn it.”

Xiao Zimo looked at his mother with an unreal feeling. It’s incredible that his mother actually wants to send him to school.

In the evening, Bei Yutang steamed a pot of rice with fresh rice, then cooked a plate of braised pork, and stir-fried a plate of green vegetables. The two dishes were enough for the two of them.

Xiao Zimo was holding the fragrant white rice and looking at it with his small black eyes.

Bei Yutang could see the reluctance in the little guy’s eyes at a glance as if he was holding a mountain of gold and silver in front of him. This is just a bowl of ordinary white rice, but the little guy could not bear to eat it. He twitched his little nose and smelled the fragrance of the rice.

Seeing him like that, Bei Yutang felt sour in her heart.

In her memory, Xiao Zimo had never had a meal of white rice, and the best thing to eat was millet rice porridge. For Xiao Zimo, the taste of white rice can only be tasted in dreams.

Not to mention meat dishes such as braised pork. Usually after the autumn harvest, Mu Zhitao would make a delicious meal when she got money, and there would be a meat dish in it.

When Xiao Zimo was three years old, he smelled the aroma of meat and was so greedy that he secretly ate a piece. He never expected to be caught by the original owner Mu Zhitao and receive a severe beating.

The fact that he was able to survive to this day under Mu Zhitao’s abuse must be said to be a blessing from God.

“Mo’er, rice is for eating, not smelling.”

Xiao Zimo raised his head and looked at his mother, who was really different and was so kind to him.

Bei Yutang put a large piece of meat into his bowl, “Eat it quickly, it won’t taste good when it’s cold.”

Xiao Zimo picked up the rice in the bowl and only felt the tip of his nose was sour.

“Eat more meat.”

Seeing that he was just focusing on eating rice, Bei Yutang put several pieces of meat into his bowl.

Xiao Zimo put a piece of meat into Bei Yutang’s bowl, “Mother, you eat too.”

Life in the village was very peaceful.  With five taels of silver, she and Xiao Zimo could use it until next spring, and there is still excess.

Bei Yutang helped Xiao Zimo make a suit of clothes in the past few days and changed them all from inside to outside. Time flies by quickly, and it has been seven days since she returned to the real world.

She had to do the mission.

The soul fusion liquid only lasts for one month, and the remaining twenty days can guarantee the completion of a task.
