There was food in the farm space, and he could have chosen not to buy it, but he was worried about exposing Ye Yaoyao's secret, so he decided to buy some to hide it from others.

Corn is 5 wen per pound, flour is 13 wen per pound, and millet is 10 wen per pound.

"A total of 71 cents, I'll give you a zero!" After the clerk loaded and weighed the food, he put it into Meng Huaishao's backpack.

"OK, thanks."

Meng Huaishao took out his wallet, which was still warm, and counted out 70 coins and handed them to the clerk in the grain shop.

Ye Yaoyao watched silently, thinking that the pheasants and rabbits were quite valuable and could be exchanged for so much food.

He looked at the small cloth bag that the waiter had packed and fell silent.

Nine pounds of grain is not much, actually, and it has already cost 70 coins. It seems that 160 coins cannot even buy pounds of grain.

In fact, Ye Yaoyao was wrong.

How could ordinary farmers afford to eat white flour and millet?

Most people buy coarse grains such as cornmeal, black flour, and sorghum, which are all cheap.

The reason why Meng Huaishao bought flour and millet was because Niu Nainai said that millet is good for the stomach, and the flour was intended to be returned to Niu Nainai.

When they have enough food, there is no need for them to owe others. Life is difficult for every family.

After walking out of the grain shop, Meng Huaishao weighed the backpack. Ye Yaoyao also swayed three times, and Meng Huaishao quickly supported her.

"Yaoyao, do you want to buy anything else?"

Ye Yaoyao shook her head. This amount of money was too much to spend. It would be better for her to be a good child with no desires.

Meng Huaishao rubbed her soft head: "Do you want a toy? I remember there's a rattle for sale a little ahead."

"Ah!"

Ye Yaoyao continued to shake her head. She didn’t want those childish things!

Seeing that the baby was so opinionated, Meng Huaishao sighed with pity: "Then tell your brother what you like."

"Yeah!" Okay.

Ye Yaoyao nodded.

Not far from the grain shop is the grocery store, and Meng Huaishao took his baby to buy a stone mill.

Nothing much going on, except that it's too expensive and a bit heavy.

Meng Huaishao held his purse tightly, feeling heartbroken when he thought about the 250 coins he had just spent.

But when he thought that the baby would be able to eat white rice at night, his heart no longer hurt and he felt happy.

Meng Huaishao carried the basket on his back, found an empty alley and went in, asking Ye Yaoyao to help him put away the millstone.

The stone mill was so heavy that it made it difficult for him to lift his shoulders just to walk this short distance.

Meng Huaishao rubbed his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, Yaoyao, you came with me, otherwise I might not be able to carry you back."

Ye Yaoyao thought about how he walked with gritted teeth just now, and felt sorry for him. She reached into the backpack and took the food away.

Meng Huaishao looked at the empty backpack, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Yaoyao, put out all the food."

He specially bought things for Ming Lu and asked Ye Yaoyao to take them all. How could he have fun?

"Ahh!" No!

Ye Yaoyao patted his shoulder and shook her head.

"I'm fine." Meng Huaishao laughed.

"Ahh!" No matter what!

Ye Yaoyao turned her head away from him and insisted on not letting him out.

"Then how about this, when we return in the afternoon, you can quietly put the food into the backpack, okay?" Meng Huaishao took a step back.

Ye Yaoyao thought about it and nodded in agreement.

"Yaoyao is so nice!" Meng Huaishao hugged her close.

Next, Meng Huaishao took Ye Yaoyao to buy a pound of salt. The salt was very coarse and expensive. Ye Yaoyao's eyelids twitched just by looking at it.

Meng Huaishao thought that it was inconvenient to take the baby out, so he just bought a pound, and 30 cents were gone again.

I saw someone selling wooden dolls on the road. They were not painted, but they were round and very cute.

Meng Huaishao noticed with his sharp eyes that Ye Yaoyao had looked at him several times, so he stopped holding the baby.

The man setting up the stall was a man in his forties or fifties with thick wrinkles on his face. When he saw the two children, he greeted them with a smile.

"If you like, you can take a look. They are all made by me!"

"Yaoyao, is there anyone you like?" Meng Huaishao asked.

Ye Yaoyao shook her head.

In fact, she likes them all. Who can resist cute costume doll figures!

But her cheap brother is poor.

She has to save.

However, Meng Huaishao reached out and picked up a chubby girl doll. Seeing that it was polished very smoothly and without burrs, he handed it to Ye Yaoyao with confidence.

Ye Yaoyao took it subconsciously. The little doll was wearing a chest-length dress, with a natural expression and smooth lines. Even without any color, one could feel its vitality.

Seeing that the baby liked it, Meng Huaishao picked out another doll and handed it to her.

Ye Yaoyao looked at the equally cute wooden doll and became conflicted.

They are all so cute!

"Boss, how much are these two?"

"Ten texts."

Before Ye Yaoyao could try to stop him, she saw Meng Huaishao had already paid the money. He was so straightforward, as if he was being taken advantage of.

She discovered that this cheap brother had no concept of money at all!

Do you understand how to be thrifty and manage the household?

Ye Yaoyao was speechless, but she had already bought it.

She happily hugged the two dolls and grinned happily.

"This is my sister, and this is my brother. My brother will always protect his sister."

Meng Huaishao introduced it to the baby in a serious manner.

Ye Yaoyao looked at the cute baby and nodded.

"Yeah!"

The sister will also protect her brother, otherwise this scapegoat might be cheated at any time.

Ye Yaoyao thought silently.

Ye Yaoyao originally thought that the sucker’s journey of spending money today would end here, but unexpectedly, he could still spend!

Ye Yaoyao looked at the guy carrying the crib and following them all the way, her face speechless.

The crib also needs to be moved through a clear path, so it is not convenient to put it directly into the farm space.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper was pleased with her because of her cleverness, so he agreed to send a waiter to escort them out of the city for free.

Otherwise, with Meng Huaishao being an eight-year-old child and her as a burden, it would be really difficult for him to take the crib back.

Who knows what Meng Huaishao was thinking? She actually spent 150 cents to buy such a useless thing. She doesn't need it at all, okay?

It’s a pity that she couldn’t persuade him. Meng Huaishao didn’t listen, and there was nothing she could do.

After all, the money wasn't hers.

Fortunately, I didn’t buy anything after this time.

Ye Yaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.

She was really afraid that Meng Huaishao would not succeed and spend all the money.

What she didn't know was that Meng Huaishao had almost spent all his money.

If he hadn't sold 160 coins today, he wouldn't have enough money to buy a baby crib. At this moment, his entire fortune was only about 100 coins at most.

An empty wallet couldn't stop Meng Huaishao's excitement.

Whenever he worked in the farm space, he would always put the baby on the ground. He had long wanted to improve conditions for Yaoyao.

The baby brought his own food, so he bought furniture for him.

As for money?

It’s okay, he is a real man, he can just spend and earn again.

All in all, after the happy shopping spree, Meng Huaishao was particularly happy. He really liked the feeling of buying things for his baby.
