Zhou Yu worked tirelessly day and night, but he had limited people around him and was unable to handle everything.

At first, he just wanted to make a name for himself with his own abilities, but later, with a compassionate heart, he truly worked for the people.

Close Tianyancha, An An nodded heavily, what a good person!

She twisted her body and stretched out her little hands towards Zhou Yu, revealing an innocent and lovely smile, and making an "ah ah" sound from her mouth.

Zhao Hu thought his niece was calling him, so he patted her back and said softly, "Be good, Anbao. Your uncle will be back soon."

An An stretched out a white little hand and pressed it on his face. Before he could grin, An An exerted force on her hand and said, "Go! Uncles are common, but handsome uncles who can give energy are rare!"

Zhao Hu only felt a strong force coming, and his face was pulled open!

Then An An's hand continued to stretch out towards Zhou Yu, and she kept saying "Ahhhhh", "Come on, idiot! Hug me!"

Qin Ying was afraid that her precious daughter's waist would be sprained, so she quickly took the child off her back and held her in her arms, patting her gently: "An An, be good, that's the master."

She could see that everyone was centered around Zhou Yu, and they all looked very impressive.

This shows that this person’s identity is not as simple as he said, “working in the county government office.”

But An An didn't care about that and just reached out to Zhou Yu persistently.

What a great channel to increase energy, we must not miss it!

Zhou Yu saw that An An was fair and clean, with a small face like a lotus petal, a pair of round eyes under curved eyebrows that were very lively, and a small mouth that was like peach blossoms about to bloom on the branches in spring. She was very cute.

He involuntarily took a few steps towards Qin Ying and raised his hand to respond.

An An's smile got even bigger. Yes, that's it. Come on, come quickly!

Qin Ying immediately hugged her and turned around, "An An, be good, let's go home and eat porridge." Then she walked away quickly.

Zhao Hu intentionally or unintentionally stopped Zhou Yu and said, "Master, I will take you to Master Chen Jiu's house. Although he is not the head of the village, we all listen to him now."

Zhou Yu put down his hand a little embarrassedly and followed Zhao Hu.

An Anke couldn't understand why her mother wouldn't let her get close to that handsome guy. She turned her head away, waving her hands in vain. Her smile faded, her face drooped, and she uttered the word "hug" in a wronged tone.

Qin Ying paused, looking down at An An in disbelief. Did she hear correctly? Her daughter spoke?

Seeing Zhou Yu and his group disappear around a corner, An An withdrew her hand and turned to look at Qin Ying. Tears welled up in her eyes, making her big eyes look even more watery and crystal clear.

His little mouth was pouting, looking pitiful.

Qin Ying's heart softened. She lowered her head and gently kissed her cheek, soothing her softly, "My dear, go home and let grandma weave a grasshopper for you to play with, okay?"

Seeing that pretending to be pitiful was useless, An An pouted, closed her eyes angrily, and went to sleep! There are all kinds of dreams!

After returning home, Qin Ying told Aunt Zhao, who was picking vegetables, what had happened while she was cooking porridge.

"Who are these people?" Aunt Zhao's heart skipped a beat. "Are they going to go up the mountain again? Can we still keep the food in the mountains?"

"I was thinking about this too," Qin Ying frowned and said, "It seems like they can be taken away soon. We have to find a way to stop them."

Aunt Zhao sighed deeply.

Qin Ying thought for a while and said, "Mom, please go to Mr. Chen Jiu's house to check on the situation. Hu Zi may not be able to think of this.

“It would be great if they could wander around our village for a few more days.

"It's two acres in total. The three of us can clean it up quickly."

Aunt Zhao got up and left immediately.

An An curled her lips and snorted. She had set up a trick around the two acres of land. No one except the Zhao family would be able to find it!

Humph, I won’t tell you!

Huh? Is this the grasshopper my grandma made? It's pretty cute, looks just like a real one. Let's play with it for a while!

An An slept for a long time before Aunt Zhao and her son came back together.

Aunt Zhao's expression relaxed a lot. "Uncle Jiu is worried that they are bad guys and is verifying their identities. It will take at least two or three days to confirm, right?"

"Master Jiu said," Zhao Hu grinned, "that they are not allowed to wander around the village until their identities are confirmed!"

Qin Ying felt relieved. Although there weren't many people in the village now, it would take two or three days to visit them all. After that, she would have to take them to see the farmland, wells, ponds, and so on.

These masters are all delicate and fragile, and they probably can't be busy all day long. Doesn't this give them time to collect grain?

When she said this, Aunt Zhao and her son became happy.

"I've seen that those people don't have calluses on their hands like we farmers do. It's obvious that they don't work on weekdays. The work that we can finish in one day may take them two days!" Zhao Hu looked down on this group of people.

As he was speaking, someone outside the courtyard gate called out, "Is anyone home?"

It was the man named Zhang Jinzhi. Zhao Hu came into the courtyard and asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

"Little brother," Zhang Jinzhi smiled, "Thank you for showing me the way. My uncle asked me to send you a thank you gift."

Aunt Zhao also left the house and did not invite anyone into the yard. She simply refused: "No need, it's just to show you the way, it's not worth much."

"Sister-in-law," Zhang Jinzhi clasped his fists and bowed, then raised the basket on his arm. "Here's a pound of flour. You have a baby at home..."

Aunt Zhao was a little hesitant. An An was a poor kid who had never eaten white flour.

Zhao Hu thought so too and looked at Aunt Zhao eagerly.

Qin Ying came out, reached out and pulled Aunt Zhao, and said to Zhang Jinzhi: "Sir, this is just a small favor, how can it be worth so many precious things? Please take it back."

Then he whispered to Aunt Zhao, "Mom, we are not greedy for these. We can just endure for a few more days and An An will have good things to eat."

The millet in the mountains has been harvested, and I can make sweet corn porridge for An An.

The drought is almost over. I can just endure it for another year at most, then I can buy chicks and slowly start saving eggs...

Aunt Zhao sighed softly and rejected Zhang Jinzhi decisively.

Zhang Jinzhi didn't know what to say, so he rubbed his nose and went back.

Zhou Yu raised his eyebrows when he saw him bring the things back intact.

"Young Master," Zhang Jinzhi sighed helplessly, "That family is very stubborn and is determined not to accept it."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile and waved his hand, "If that's the case, then forget it."

Although they had official letters proving their identities, Uncle Chen Jiu said frankly, "It's a chaotic situation out there. Robberies and murders are not uncommon. I can't confirm whether these things are yours."

The servants looked somewhat indignant, but Zhou Yu did not take it as an offense. He pulled Uncle Chen Jiu aside to chat with him and learn about the situation in the village.

Uncle Chen Jiu was an old and experienced man. He kept telling Zhou Yu stories about the past and did not mention what had happened in the village in recent years.

He also secretly organized some people to take turns guarding outside his house just in case.
