Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

When Zhou Yu noticed it, he just laughed it off.

There were twelve people in their group, and it happened that the houses of Uncle Chen Jiu's neighbors were all empty, so they all moved in. Only Zhou Yu and his personal bodyguard Xu Xia stayed in Chen's house.

They brought their own dry food, and Uncle Chen Jiu had someone fetch water for them. The location of the well was kept tightly closed.

But Zhou Yu and others stayed in Tongshu Village for two days and did not gain nothing.

"I heard that Brother Guo joined the army before he even had the chance to get married?" Zhang Jinzhi asked Uncle Chen Jiu curiously about Qin Ying, "What about her baby..."

Uncle Chen Jiu's face turned serious, and he looked over with a stern look: "What do you mean by that? You say our Yingzi is not decent? Bah! What a dirty heart!"

Zhang Jinzhi was disappointed and silently wiped away the saliva that Uncle Chen Jiu had splashed onto his face.

Zhou Yu hurriedly said, "Old man, don't be angry. He didn't mean that. He just admired her. Even in such a natural disaster, she was still able to pick up a child and raise him. Her behavior is truly precious."

"Yes, yes, yes," Zhang Jinzhi quickly added, "You are too old-fashioned. I think their family doesn't even have a man to support the family, and life is really difficult.

"Even in this situation, he still raised the baby so well. How respectable and admirable!"

Uncle Chen Jiu was still angry, he snorted and looked at him with his nose down.

Zhang Jinzhi quickly said a lot of free compliments, and praised Qin Ying and Zhao Hu: "I heard that the village has water to drink thanks to them. They are really smart and capable."

Uncle Chen Jiu then said calmly, "Only with a kind heart can you receive blessings. God is watching."

When no one was around, Zhang Jinzhi apologized to Zhou Yu: "Master, it's all my fault. I made a mess of things."

"That's fine," Zhou Yu shook his head slightly. "People in the countryside might care more about their reputation than those from wealthy families. I should be more cautious in what I say and do in the future."

Zhang Jinzhi felt even more guilty: "This old man Chen has always been quite wary of us, and I'm worried..."

"Don't worry too much," Zhou Yu said with a faint smile, "The villagers who went to the county government office will be back the day after tomorrow at the latest.

"There's no doubt about our identities. Once we prove this, everything else will be easy."

Zhang Jinzhi hurriedly lowered his head to learn. In the past, he had always prided himself on his eloquence and his ability to socialize, and because of this, he had been sent by his superiors to assist the eldest son. However, he had no idea that his arrival would not only cause trouble, but also bring more trouble.

On the contrary, this eldest son, who had never done any housework before, is now very knowledgeable about farming and is calm and experienced when dealing with things.

The Zhao family went into the mountains at night, first picking the corn, then using their sickles to cut the ears of corn, then cutting the bean vines and digging the potatoes...

Put everything in bags and carry it to the cellar for storage.

I harvested some wild vegetables from the fields, took some home fresh, and dried some.

Finally, we cut down the corn stalks, harvested the millet stalks... and leveled the land. This took three days of continuous work.

Fortunately, the harvest was gratifying. Looking at the almost full cellar, the three of them couldn't stop smiling. The golden ears of grain were almost three times the size of ordinary ears of grain, and the grains were full.

After laughing, I prepared to reward myself: I kneaded a handful of corn to make porridge for An An, roasted potatoes for the adults to eat, and gnawed on two green corn stalks while making a fire. It was so sweet to my heart.

Zhao Hu was so tired that he couldn't even peel the potato skins and threw them away. He ate until his mouth was black. He said with a smile, "I finally feel full!"

Eating boiled vegetables every day not only makes your face turn green, but you are only slightly more full than water and get hungry very quickly.

Aunt Zhao also smiled from ear to ear. She took a few corn cobs, peeled them, and rubbed the kernels. "We have a small stone mill at home. I'll grind some flour for vegetable dumplings when I get home!"

Qin Ying picked out the full ears of grain and put them into a small bag, which became An An's exclusive food after being pounded.

After the three men finished eating and drinking, they closed the cellar lid, camouflaged it, put out the fire, buried the ashes, and returned home in the dark.

They were not required to patrol these two days, so they went up the mountain at night, returned home at dusk the next day, and wandered around the village. When someone asked them about it, they would just say that they went up the mountain but didn't get anything.

Then take a nap and go up the mountain in the dark.

The things they carried back this time could last for several days, so they wouldn't have to work so hard.

As for straw, bean seedlings and the like, they had been scattered and hidden, and burned one after another on the mountain. The ashes were buried, leaving no trace at all.

Do not burn in a concentrated manner, as this will easily produce smoke and cause trouble.

An An laughed secretly. In fact, she was well prepared. No matter how much noise they made, she could ensure that no one would notice it!

But it is a good thing that they can be vigilant.

The three of them discussed it behind closed doors at home.

Qin Ying took the lead and said, "Mother, Huzi, we originally thought that the food produced from two acres of land was limited, but now we have calculated that the harvest from these two acres is more than that from ten acres in the past.

"It's not impossible for us all to stay, but we'll have to eat secretly.

"But how can we hide the cooking smell? I'm afraid it would be hard for us to live in the village then."

Aunt Zhao nodded thoughtfully, "This is a gift from God, we really can't monopolize it. We can't leave that precious land idle either. We must plant crops on it later."

"But we discovered this ourselves, and we worked so hard to get it," Zhao Hu said unwillingly. "Others didn't contribute at all, so why should they just pick it up?"

Aunt Zhao slapped him on the head, spat softly, and cursed, "You tiger boy!"

Zhao Hu rubbed his chubby head and pouted his lips.

"Huzi," Qin Ying explained softly, "If we don't harvest much food, just keep it for yourself. After all, even if our master doesn't say anything, An An has to eat something good.

"But it's different now. We've harvested so much grain. Not only is it easy to get caught carrying it home, but what about when we eat it?

“The taste of grains is completely different from that of boiled vegetables or dried fruit paste.

"There are only three and a half people in our family, but there are dozens of people in the village. If they come to rob us, can we protect them?

"This is just our own village, we won't be too heartless, but what if we attract people from other villages?"

The consequences were indeed beyond their ability to bear, and Zhao Hu lowered his head dejectedly.

Qin Ying sighed and continued, "But if we voluntarily hand it over, things will be different. Although the current situation is different from before, and we won't starve to death if we don't have a bite to eat, you also know that just eating boiled vegetables and occasionally adding some dried fruits will not fill you up.

"Not to mention the food, just adding some potatoes to every meal makes a whole different difference!

"Don't you think the villagers should thank us? Our future life will be better."

"Your sister is right!" Aunt Zhao clapped her hands. "It's settled! We'll keep enough for the four of us, and hand over the rest!"

Zhao Hu responded in a muffled voice.

Qin Ying continued, "Mother, this food can't come out of our house. I suggest that we first quietly move some back home and hide it in the cellar. As for the rest, we should find a way to let Master Chen Jiu know."
