Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Zhou Yu also heard this. He originally wanted to go and take a look, but he silently gave up the idea.

Zhang Jinzhi also smiled from ear to ear and said to Zhou Yu, "Sir, this is really great news! If the female rabbits in the rabbit farm can be so productive in the future...

"It's only a matter of time before we can popularize rabbit farming!"

Zhou Yu shook his head slightly, his expression a little serious: "But so far, the only two people who can deliver and care for rabbits are Aunt Zhao and Miss Qin.

"Not to mention the increasing number of rabbits in Tongshu Village, what if the rabbits in other villages are about to give birth and they can't get there in time? No one can afford such a loss.

"Besides, Aunt Zhao and Miss Qin will also be criticized for this."

Zhang Jinzhi was stunned at first, and then his face turned worried. "What should I do?"

Zhou Yu sighed, "It's all up to Aunt Zhao and Miss Qin to put in more effort and let others practice more and gradually get the hang of it.

"This process may be difficult, and...some rabbits may die, but it is a necessary process."

Zhang Jinzhi didn't know what to say and sighed as well.

"Don't worry about it for now," Zhou Yu waved his hand at him, "Anyway, encountering something like this in the New Year is a good omen!

"When you reach a point in front of a mountain, there will always be a way out. There will always be a solution."

As they were talking, they heard a baby's babyish "cooing" voice outside. Zhang Jinzhi walked out and said with a smile, "An An is here to feed the chickens again."

Zhou Yu also walked out. He just wanted to talk to An An about something.

An An had already started chatting with Zhang Jinzhi. She asked with a smile, "Grandpa Zhang, did you know? Our rabbit farm has added a lot of new little rabbits!"

She counted on her fingers as if doing arithmetic, then put them down after a moment, frowning and sighing, "Anyway, it's a lot!"

A kid of her age wouldn't be able to calculate so clearly even if she learned arithmetic, so she has to pretend!

"Yes, yes," Zhang Jinzhi also said with a smile, "I heard about it too! You guys are really good at raising rabbits. You see, when I was raising rabbits, I mostly had to rely on your grandma and your mother to help feed them. They were also the ones who came to deliver the babies. Otherwise, I don't know what I would do!

"Your grandma and your mom are really capable! You can't deny this!"

An An puffed out her belly and patted her chest, "Hey, there's me too! I'm capable too!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Jinzhi picked her up and said, "If it weren't for our An An, how could these two chickens lay eggs so quickly?

"Recently, I can sometimes touch two eggs a day!

"I heard that hens don't like to lay eggs in winter, but our chickens don't have that problem. It shows that An An is really good at raising chickens!"

An An laughed out loud, without any modesty: "That's a must!"

As soon as she saw Zhou Yu coming out, An An opened her arms towards him and smiled sweetly.

Zhou Yu also smiled and took her over. After a few words, he said, "Jinzhi, go and do your work. I'll take her inside. It's too cold outside."

Zhang Jinzhi cupped his hands and said, "Yes, I do have some unfinished business."

When they got into the house, An An tilted her head and asked, "Uncle Zhou, why can you call Grandpa Zhang by his name even though he's so much older than you?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Because I passed the imperial examination one year earlier than him."

"Ah!" An An opened her eyes wide, expressing her confusion.

Zhou Yu then explained, "You know about the imperial examination, right? It's the path that everyone in the world must take if they want to pursue a career in government.

"They also passed the exams layer by layer, and those who finally passed the exam and became Jinshi were rare compared to the rest of the country.

"As for me, I was willing to study when I was young, my family could afford to hire a good teacher, and I was also quite smart, so I passed the imperial examination at the age of seventeen.

"As for Mr. Zhang, we can't say he's not well-educated, but sometimes taking the imperial examination really depends on luck, and his luck isn't that great.

"I started taking exams when I was young. I won't mention anything else, but I took the Jinshi exam five times. I only passed on the fifth try, and my ranking was pretty low."

An An understood. What it meant was that although Zhou Yu was much younger than Zhang Jinzhi, because the seniority was based on seniority, Zhou Yu was still Zhang Jinzhi's senior.

"Another one," Zhou Yu added, "Mr. Zhang came from a poor family. It was difficult for him to become an official at that time. After several setbacks, he had no choice but to become my disciple.

“But I was a dandy boy at the time… I didn’t know much when I was young, and I took the imperial examination just to prove myself.

"Later, I realized that it would be difficult for me to pursue a career in government, and my family could afford to support me, so I just spent my days cockfighting and running errands, and having fun with my friends.

"People like me are commonly known as 'young master lambs'. Some people envy me, but more often they look down on me and resent me.

"It's all about timing, luck, and fate. I never imagined that there would be chaos in the capital, and that I could escape the chaos and actually embark on a career in officialdom."

An An gently patted Zhou Yu's arm and said, "Uncle Zhou, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Nothing," Zhou Yu smiled at her, "Many things, once you get used to them, it's fine."

He said: "When people are young, they tend to be impulsive and act on impulse. But as they get older and gain experience, they become more composed."

"Uncle Zhou," An An patted him and said, "Why do you always say 'when we were young, when we were young'? You're not old now!"

She touched her chin and said, "You don't even have a beard!"

Zhou Yu couldn't help but laugh: "Maybe I'm old at heart?"

An An thought: "If you say that, wouldn't I be an old monster?" So, how old am I? I can't remember exactly, but it should be no less than three hundred years, right?

Zhou Yu changed the subject and asked in a slightly lowered voice, "An An, is the drought really going to end?"

"Oh!" An An sighed, "Uncle Zhou, can't you ask me some questions that I can answer?"

Zhou Yu blinked. "I can't answer that... Then let me ask you another question. I want to continue looking for water. Do I need to take you there again?"

"That's not necessary," An An waved her hand, "I want to be with my family. Uncle Zhou, if you have something to do, you can go and do it yourself!"

"Just come over when you can. Your county government office isn't here, so it's not good for you to stay here all the time, right?"

Zhou Yu poked her little cheek: "What? Are you annoyed by me?"

"No," An An quickly denied, "Uncle Zhou, I'm just thinking about you!"

Zhou Yu laughed. "Then why not just move the county government office here temporarily? Who can control me?"

"Huh?" An An glared, "Uncle Zhou, are you so... so domineering?"

Zhou Yu laughed heartily. "What kind of words are you talking about! It's not that no one can control me, but that the people who can control me don't have time to do so!"
