For such a big fish, there were very few small spines, and the fish's belly was almost only filled with large spines. Shen Qiushui gave it to the two little guys and Grandma Luo.

The two little guys never stopped talking from beginning to end, immersed in eating, and there was a bright sheen on their lips.

The pickled fish went very well with the meal, and everyone was a little stuffed.

Mo Yu patted his bulging belly, stretched out his hand to wipe it on his mouth, and sighed with satisfaction.

After eating and drinking, everyone came down from the table one after another.

While Shen Qiushui was washing the dishes and helping Mo Changtian clean up the kitchen, she discovered that there was not much food left in the house.

She was suddenly shocked to realize that her whole family had been eating and drinking freely at Granny Luo's house these past few days.

There were too many things going on a while ago, and she basically didn't cook, so she almost forgot about this.

I discussed this matter with Mo Changtian when I went to bed at night, and planned to use the little money I had left to buy some food in the town.

Mo Changtian happened to be going to the county town to buy grain seeds, so she directly made an appointment with Mo Changtian to go to the county town together tomorrow.

There is not much money left in Shen Qiushui's hands, and Zhu Zian's cooperation will not be able to recover its original value for a while, and he will not be able to receive dividends for the time being. Every penny of the money in his hands is spent, and every penny is lost.

Shen Qiushui once again felt the urgency of being short of money.

When they went out the next day, the two little guys looked at Shen Qiushui eagerly at the door.

"Mother, Yu'er also wants to go."

Mo Yu pulled Shen Qiushui's trouser leg and shook it.

Mo Dong said nothing, but his eyes looking at Shen Qiushui were full of longing.

Who can resist two pairs of big, watery, dark eyes?

In addition, the two children had never left the village until they were so old. Shen Qiushui thought about it and finally took the two children to the town together.

"You can follow me if you want, but you must not run around, you know?"

"Yeah, well, Yu'er knows, mother, don't worry! Yu'er is so good, she will never run around!" Mo Yu nodded hurriedly.

Mo Dong also nodded.

After receiving the assurance from the two little guys, Shen Qiushui looked at Mo Changtian, wanting to hear what he had to say.

Seeing that Mo Changtian had no objection, she turned back and smiled at the two little guys: "Let's go~"

"Okay!" Mo Yu cheered and jumped up and down to follow.

The road to the county seat is a bit long, and it would take two adults half a day to walk at a normal pace, not to mention two children.

They were lucky enough to meet an ox cart driving to the village chief's home on the way.

The village chief's ox cart was recently purchased and has not been used a few times. Several people are already sitting on the wooden planks pulled by the ox cart.

"Tianwazi, are you going to the county seat too?" The village chief grabbed the buffalo and stopped beside Mo Changtian and his party.

"Um."

"Hey, why don't you tell me when you are going to the county town and just hitch a ride? Come on up." The village chief greeted Mo Changtian and his group cheerfully.

The village chief was very enthusiastic. They did not refuse and took the children on the bullock cart.

An ox-cart is faster than a horse-drawn carriage, but it ultimately saves leg effort.

When they arrived at the gate of the county town, everyone on the bullock cart jumped off the cart one after another.

Mo Changtian walked towards the village chief with a few coins in his hand and wanted to pay the toll, but the village chief blocked him back with a serious face.

"We are all from the same village. I just wanted to drop you in. Giving you money is too outrageous. Please put it away quickly."

The village chief also wants to come to the county town to buy some big items this time, otherwise he would be reluctant to drive out in an ox cart.

After rejecting the money given by Mo Changtian, the village chief drove an ox cart into the county town.

Mo Changtian could only put away the copper plate.

The family of four then walked into the county town.

It was still dark when they set out, but it was already bright when they arrived at the gate of the county town. As they approached the county town, the streets were very lively with people coming and going.

The shouts of vendors are everywhere.

Shen Qiushui glanced at the crowded street, and he and Mo Changtian picked up a child.

This was not the first time Mo Changtian came to the county. In the past, the Mo family’s grain seeds were not well preserved, so he had come to the county to buy them.

He took Shen Qiushui directly to the grain store, intending to buy grain seeds and the grain he usually ate.

The cheapest shop was a bit far from the entrance of the county town, so they walked along the street.

On both sides of the street, some vendors without shops set up stalls to sell some groceries. The vegetable sellers were even simpler. They just took something to cushion and placed the green vegetables on the ground.

There are also some vendors who shuttle among the crowd pulling a small box with wooden wheels. There are some beautiful gadgets hanging on the box, most of which are loved by children.

Mo Changtian walked at the front with Mo Dong in his arms. With a casual glance, he saw a very familiar thing.

He was slightly startled and immediately pushed Mo Dong into Shen Qiushui's arms: "You go to the rice and grain store first. I have something to do and will come to you later."

Shen Qiushui subconsciously hugged Mo Dong with her other hand. As soon as she had a firm grip, before she could say anything, Mo Changtian walked through the crowd, leaving only the two children and Shen Qiushui staring at each other.

"What's wrong with your father?" Shen Qiushui asked, not expecting the two children to answer.

Mo Dong and Mo Yu shook their heads in unison, with confused expressions on their faces.

Shen Qiushui didn't think too much, put down the two children, held them instead, and walked towards the rice and grain shop.

Fortunately, she had been to the county town before, otherwise she would not have been able to find the rice and grain shop Mo Changtian mentioned.

The two children were also very well-behaved, holding their mother tightly and following her.

On the other side, Mo Changtian chased the hawker, but found that in just a blink of an eye, the hawker dragging a box around selling groceries disappeared.

Mo Changtian's eyes searched around the crowd, and he ran a few steps towards the gate of the county seat.

Finally, I found the hawker in an alley not far from the entrance of the county town.

A vendor who stopped in the alley sold a sachet to a girl. The girl who bought the sachet gave her money and left.

Opening for the first time today, the vendor was so happy that he bent over and took out an identical sachet from the wooden box and hung it on the shelf.

Just as he was about to leave with the wooden box, he was stopped by Mo Changtian who came over.

Seeing that business came to the door again, the hawker smiled so hard that he showed a few big teeth: "Sir, what do you want to see?"

Mo Changtian's eyes swept through the things hanging on the hawker's wooden box shelf, and finally settled on a bead.

The beads are hung on the edge of the shelf, not like items for sale.

The texture of this bead was very similar to the wooden beads hanging on his chest. If he guessed correctly, it should come from the same tree as his wooden beads.

The only difference is that the bead hanging by the vendor is larger than the one Mo Changtian is wearing.

He picked up the beads hanging from the edge by the vendor and looked through them. Looking at the hollowed out beads in the middle, Mo Changtian's eyes darkened slightly.

An idea formed in his mind.

mother-of-pearl beads...

Pull off the beads hanging around your neck and gently click on the middle of the beads in your hand.

Only a crisp "click" sound was heard.

The two beads are fastened together tightly.

The hawker who watched Mo Changtian’s actions:???
