Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Zhou Yu expressed his condolences to Aunt Zhao and chatted about some family matters.

The atmosphere quickly became harmonious, and Aunt Zhao tentatively said, “Our Black Mountain is so big, there must be many people where there is water.

“However, although the wells we dug can temporarily save the lives of our fellow villagers, it is definitely not enough to alleviate the drought!

"More and more people are coming to fetch water, and more and more places are using water. You never know when the water will dry up.

"God, I don't know when he will have mercy on us poor people and give us some rain..."

"We can't just rely on God," Zhou Yu said solemnly, "People must help themselves before others can help them.

"For now, the first thing we need to do is to let everyone see the hope of survival, and then we can consider other things."

"This is easier said than done!" Aunt Zhao patted her sprained leg with a frown on her face. "Master, you should have noticed when you came here. There are holes everywhere in and around the village. Those are the wells that the villagers dug when the drought first started.

“At that time, almost every village was digging wells, but after digging so many, not a single one produced water!

"Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people abandoning their homes and businesses and moving away.

"Well, to be honest with you, Master, we have nowhere else to go. Otherwise, how could we stay in the village and wait to die?"

Zhou Yu was silent for a moment, he knew that Aunt Zhao was telling the truth.

After taking office, he organized people to look for water sources everywhere. However, there was only one river in Qin County, and the water level had dropped significantly. It could only barely guarantee the daily drinking water for the people along the river, and even irrigation was not enough. The arable land along the river was reduced to less than one-tenth of its original size.

As for some other small streams and lakes, they have dried up long ago. Even if you dig a well at the bottom of the lake or on the riverbed, there is no guarantee of water.

Not to mention other places.

Therefore, the drought has continued and chaos has occurred throughout Qin County.

He united with surrounding counties and opened government granaries to provide relief, but it was still a drop in the bucket for the people of the entire county.

The chaos in various places became more and more serious, and he had to run around to deal with it.

As soon as he heard that water had been found in a well dug in Tongshutun, he rushed over immediately, wanting to learn about their experience in well digging. Although he had failed countless times in the past, what if?

What if other places could dig wells and get water like Tongshutun, wouldn’t the people in this county be saved?

Moreover, his coming to Tongshutun did not delay other things. He sent people to "borrow" a batch of grain. Once this batch of grain arrived, the people of the entire Qin County would be able to safely survive the severe winter.

If the experience of Tongshutun can be promoted, carrying out spring plowing will no longer be a luxury. At that time, the people will truly see hope for life.

He asked again about the search for water, and Zhao Hu could only reiterate: "Master, we really haven't concealed anything!

“We had been without food for a long time.

"Depending on the mountain, we can eat the mountain. In the first year, we could still go up the mountain to find some food.

“If you’re lucky, you can pick up one or two wild animals that have starved to death, but when all the grass and trees on the mountain die of drought, there will be nothing left.

"We have cleaned out all the rat holes in and around the village!

"To tell you the truth, if my sister hadn't found An Baoer, we would have starved to death!"

If it wasn't to feed their children, why would they bother going up the mountain? They'd gone up the mountain so many times before, but had they ever found food?

Zhou Yu lowered his eyes and fell silent.

Accident, luck.

Where can I find so much luck!

Aunt Zhao asked disappointedly, "Master, is it true that there is no water anywhere else?"

Zhou Yu nodded silently.

At this time, An An had woken up. She listened quietly for a while, then smiled with her little mouth curved. Others couldn't find the water source, but she could!

So she turned over and went to Qin Ying, who was doing needlework at the table on the kang with her back to her. She grabbed the corner of her clothes and called out softly, "Mom."

"My dear, wake up!" Qin Ying quickly put down the needle and thread in her hand, put away the scissors, turned around and picked up An An, first helped her pee, and then fed her water.

An An drank some water obediently and then struggled to go outside.

Qin Ying didn't want to go out at first, but then she thought that Zhou Yu was a man of status and knew many people, so maybe he could help An An find his biological parents.

Although their family loves An An, it is difficult for her to grow up with her biological parents...

If it is confirmed that An An was not abandoned, and her biological parents are decent people, they would send her back to reunite the family.

If her biological parents are not good people, then you can't push the child into the fire pit no matter what!

After thinking about it, Qin Ying quickly went downstairs to put on her shoes, tidied up An An's clothes, shoes and socks, and then carried her out.

When he arrived in the yard, he first bowed to Zhou Yu before sitting down next to Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao took An An skillfully and stuffed a small straw grasshopper into her arms.

An An twisted her body and stretched out her hands towards Zhou Yu, showing a soft and cute smile, and her little mouth opened to say "hug".

Aunt Zhao's legs and feet were not very convenient, and she couldn't hold the child steadily for a while. Seeing this, Zhao Hu hurriedly took the child in his hands.

An An was anxious. Why was it so difficult to get some energy?

She simply opened her mouth and started crying.

This was the first time she burst into tears since she came to the Zhao family. Aunt Zhao and her son were both at a loss. Qin Ying quickly took An An into her arms and coaxed her softly.

An An's face was covered with tears, her eyes were red, her mouth was pouting, and she twisted her body again and reached out to Zhou Yu, "Hug me!"

Zhou Yu immediately stood up and said with a smile, "It seems that I have some connection with this little kid. Why don't you let me hold him?"

Qin Ying sighed silently and handed An An over.

As soon as she was in Zhou Yu's arms, An An was immediately satisfied.

Wow, this handsome uncle doesn't smell! Although her cheap uncle treats her very well and she shouldn't despise him, there is always a smell of sweat on his body!

Although the handsome uncle doesn’t have any fragrance on his body, he looks refreshing and clean, which makes people feel very comfortable!

She immediately burst into laughter.

Everyone was stunned.

Zhao Hu, in particular, was a little sad, muttering, "This heartless little guy loves you in vain!"

No way!

An An is not the kind of person who is ungrateful. It’s just that the handsome uncle doesn’t come here often!

At worst, I can just compensate my uncle later!

An An scanned Zhao Hu with a little guilt, and found that the Koi bonus on him had expired, so he hit him again.

Ah, we can’t leave out the handsome uncle!

A Koi bonus shot over, and Zhou Yu instantly felt his body lighten.

He lowered his head to look at the delicate little girl in his arms, tears still hanging on her eyelashes.

He couldn't help but take out a handkerchief from his arms and wipe her face clean.

In return, An An burst into laughter.

Oh my, I have put a lot of effort into this idea energy!

I hope I can get endless energy from this handsome uncle!

Xu Xia had already prepared the meal and came over to ask where to eat.
