The next morning, Qin Ziyan left home and returned to the academy, looking lost as he left.

Normally, Qin Ruo didn't pay much attention to Qin Ziyan. After he stopped acting like a demon, she ignored him completely.

She had no idea about Qin Ziyan's worries.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed and the fish pond bought by Qin Ruo was finally ready to be dug.

Qin Ruo went to Zhou's house in person and asked Old Man Zhou to supervise the cleaning of her fish pond.

When Old Man Zhou heard Qin Ruo's intention, he was extremely happy and naturally agreed.

"Father Zhou, you only need to supervise the workers and clean the fish pond according to my requirements. The wages will be the same as theirs, 60 cents a day..."

"Ruo'er, why are you being so polite to us? You have helped the Zhou family enough. We absolutely cannot accept this money."

Old Mrs. Zhou quickly stood up and interrupted Qin Ruo.

Qin Ruo had already assigned the task of reclaiming fifty acres of wasteland to his own family, and the remuneration paid was far more than what he had earned.

It would be really inappropriate to charge money for such a small thing.

"Ruo'er, are you being too formal? Just leave this small matter to me, and I will definitely handle it properly for you. Don't mention the money anymore!" Old Man Zhou had the same attitude.

During this period of time, the Qin family has never left out any benefits from the Zhou family, which means they truly treat the Zhou family as their own.

There is human kindness only when there is give and take.

Since the Zhou family couldn't help Qin Ruo with money, they wished they could do something for Qin Ruo.

"Let's be clear, you really have to accept this money from Old Man Zhou. There will be many more things that will trouble your family in the future."

"If you insist on not taking the money, I will have to find someone else." Qin Ruo did not give in at all. Favors are favors, and the amount must be clear.

Seeing Qin Ruo's insistence, Zhou's family had no choice but to agree.

After the matter of cleaning the fish pond was settled, Qin Ruo glanced at Zhou Dazhu who was sitting next to her and said with a smile:

"I think Dazhu is quite calm and steady. If you don't mind, I plan to let Dazhu stay by my side and help with chores..."

"No problem, no problem. Sister A Ruo, can I really do it?" Zhou Dazhu was so excited that he almost couldn't sit still.

Before the other members of the Zhou family spoke, he couldn't wait to take over Qin Ruo's words.

There is no other person as capable as Qin Ruo in the entire Changhe Village.

He had never dared to imagine that Qin Ruo would let him work by her side, and he never thought that the opportunity would come so suddenly.

"Ruo'er, I really don't know how to thank you. It is a blessing for my Dazhu that you are willing to accept him. It is also a blessing for our Zhou family. Don't worry, although Dazhu is a little dull, he is honest and willing to learn. He will definitely not cause you any trouble."

Old Mrs. Zhou's eyes instantly became moist, and she held Qin Ruo's hand and thanked her repeatedly.

"Ruo'er, if there's any work, just tell him to do it at Dazhu. Dazhu is tough and can't be tired." Old Man Zhou spoke at the right time, meaning that Qin Ruo should make the arrangements.

Zhou Cheng and Bai looked at each other and were equally excited.

Qin Ruo didn't even mention the specific arrangements or even the remuneration, but the Zhou family didn't care at all.

It is the Zhou family's good fortune to be able to let Zhou Dazhu work beside Qin Ruo.

With such a great opportunity right in front of us, how could we not seize it?

"Grandma Zhou, you're too polite. Dazhu is bound to suffer some hardships following me, just don't feel bad for him." Qin Ruo smiled and patted the back of Grandma Zhou's hand.

She turned to Zhou Dazhu and said, "Dazhu, come to my house after breakfast tomorrow and practice driving the cart first."

"Okay, Sister Ruo."

Zhou Dazhui's mouth was almost stretched to his ears, and he quickly responded.

Zhou Dazhu had been envious of the horse that Qin Ruo bought.

Now when he heard Qin Ruo take the initiative to ask him to learn how to drive a horse-drawn carriage, his eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to try it right away.

"Sister A Ruo, I, I'm still here. I have the strength and I can help you with the work." Zhou Erzhu became anxious when he saw that no one called on him for a long time.

"You...just wait. I won't forget you." Qin Ruo patted Zhou Erzhu's head and laughed.

She likes the Zhou family very much. This warm and harmonious atmosphere makes her feel very comfortable.

After seeing Qin Ruo off, the Zhou family spent the night imagining their future life, and almost everyone suffered from insomnia.

When they got up the second time, everyone was full of energy.

After breakfast, Old Man Zhou carried his tools on his shoulders and went to the fish pond.

Zhou Dazhui went to Qin's house, while the others continued to open up new land.

Lu Shuiqin, who came to work in the fish pond, finally felt relieved.

A few days ago, after Zhang Dahua caused trouble, Lu Shuiqin was completely heartbroken.

She originally thought that this matter had a nine out of ten chance of success, and Zhang Dahua's behavior made her blush.

She thought that Qin Ruo would never hire anyone from her family to work again.

These past few days, she couldn't eat or sleep well because she was thinking about this.

Unexpectedly, a turning point came. Yesterday, Qin Ruo asked Qin Zimu to inform her to go to Qin's house.

After arriving at the Qin family, no one mentioned Zhang Dahua at all.

I asked her directly if she was willing to help clean the fish pond.

The daily wage is sixty cents, which also includes a lunch.

Lu Shuiqin was about to cry at that time, but the three people in her family could earn 180 cents a day by working.

Where can I find a job like this that’s so close to home?

Cleaning silt is hard work, but is there any job that isn’t hard?

Farmers have strength, but they are afraid that their strength will be wasted.

When Lu Shuiqin left the Qin family after thanking them profusely, she still felt like she was dreaming.

Early this morning, she, her husband Chen Shouzheng, and her son Daniu went to the fish pond, waiting for others to arrive.

Not long after her family of three arrived, the three sons of Old Yang, who drove a donkey cart at the village entrance, also came.

Old Yang's three sons are in their prime. They are quick and agile and are good at farm work.

Everyone in the Yang family is strong and healthy. In comparison, my family of three has no advantage at all.

Lu Shuiqin dared not slack off even more. This job was hard-earned and she cherished it very much.

The two families met and chatted for a while, then Old Man Zhou came.

Old Man Zhou didn't waste any time. After relaying Qin Ruo's request to them, he took the tools and went down to the fish pond first.

"In the village, carrying a big bag only makes 40 or 50 cents a day. Ruo'er is really kind to us. 60 cents a day, and a lunch is provided. Everyone should be smart. If you take this money, you must do work worthy of it."

Old Man Zhou smiled and gave everyone a few words, then started to lead the work.

Although Qin Ruo only asked him to supervise the work, he did not let him go to the pond because of Old Man Zhou's old age.

Old Man Zhou is not a man who can sit idle, and he thinks that any help he can provide is helpful.

The two families who came to work were not lazy people, and they were all full of energy after entering the fish pond.
