Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Aunt Zhong had already taken off her backpack, picked up the shovel and started digging. Unlike yesterday, the soil she dug out was damp, and the wetter it got the deeper she went.

She turned around and laughed, "Yingzi, come and see! Isn't this similar to the place you first discovered?"

Qin Ying couldn't help but feel happy, "Yes! It's better than that!"

She dug out all the wild vegetables, shook off the dirt, and put them into her backpack.

Aunt Zhong ran to call for help.

Soon, Zhou Yu and others all gathered together. Seeing this situation, they couldn't help but smile. The chance of water coming out here was very high!

I have never found such tender wild vegetables before!

So under Zhou Yu's command, everyone moved in an orderly manner. They first marked out the approximate area, then dug out a simple outline, moved stones to compact the soil, and then built the well platform. They also transferred more than a dozen people over in the shortest time.

Zhou Yu also said to Qin Ying: "I've checked the well in Tongshu Village. It's actually not very reliable."

"That's because our strength is limited," Qin Ying lowered her eyes, "and at that time we weren't sure we could really get out of the water."

"I don't mean anything else," Zhou Yu added hastily, fearing she might misunderstand him, "I just think it's not easy for you to dig such a large well on your own.

"Now that we have more people and are well prepared, we will naturally do better."

He looked at An An sleeping in Qin Ying's arms, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Do you want me to hold you for a while?"

The little guy's face is a little rounder and he has grown a lot bigger than when I first saw him. He must be very heavy in the hand.

Qin Ying took two steps back and refused directly: "No need, Master, go and do your work."

"Well," Zhou Yu looked at the people who had already set up the pestle and pestle, and said softly, "Actually, Miss Qin doesn't need to be so wary of me.

"I said from the beginning that I have no ill intentions towards you."

"I know," Qin Ying said, still very distant, "you are a good official worthy of respect."

Zhou Yu blinked: "Did you guess it?"

Qin Ying curled the corners of her lips, "Mr. Chen Jiu didn't hide anything from me and my mother."

After a pause, she continued, "Precisely because you are a great master and we are just common people, we dare not approach you.

"Otherwise, even if you don't mind, there will be a lot of trouble here.

"Ordinary people can't stand any tossing."

Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh softly, "Life is meaningless if you live too clearly; but it's a pity if you don't live clearly.

"No matter what, you guys helped a lot this time, and we'll need your continued help in the future.

"So, I owe you a big favor. If you need any help in the future, just let me know."

Qin Ying hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and although she was very reluctant, she still said, "Master, I really have a request. Can you help me find out An An's background?

"If her biological parents were trustworthy, we would not separate them.

"But if her biological parents are so cold-blooded and heartless, please don't reveal any news about An An to them."

"Okay," Zhou Yu agreed without hesitation, "I will do my best."

After all, it was not easy for a single man and a single woman to be alone together for a long time. Zhou Yu quickly left, asked Aunt Zhong to take care of Qin Ying and her daughter to rest, and went over to help.

Qin Ying looked over and saw that Zhou Yu was working with everyone, no matter if they were moving, carrying or lifting any heavy objects. In order to make the work easier, he lifted the hem of his shirt and tucked it around his waist, and rolled up his sleeves, revealing a section of his strong arms.

Aunt Zhong wiped the sweat from her forehead, took out her water bag and drank some water, then said with a smile, "Our uncle never pampers himself, but he can do any job!"

Qin Ying smiled and didn't respond.

By dark, the pestle frame had been set up. After everyone had a simple meal, they began to dig the well with palm-leaf fans.

Hu Zi was curious and kept standing there to watch. After watching for a while, he came back and said to Qin Ying, "Sister, Brother Zhou and his people are really capable! They are even better than the drilling team that came to our village before!"

With the help of equipment, it is naturally much faster than pure manpower.

By midnight, the dredged soil was already muddy and watery.

Later on, manpower had to be replaced. The person sitting in the big basket was sent down with a winch, and then the excavated soil was transported up with a basket, while the well wall was constantly compacted.

Soon, news came from the bottom of the well: "Water is coming out!"

The people above quickly turned the windlass and pulled the man from the bottom of the well out. Although his body and face were covered in mud and water, the man smiled happily: "Sir! It's done! The water is coming out very quickly!"

Zhou Yu was naturally very happy and asked him to go to the side to wash and change clothes.

The man waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, wait until the water reaches the wellhead!"

Everyone then threw all the burnt wood ashes into the well.

Zhou Yu also ordered people to dig up two large tree roots and burn them, and then throw them in later.

There was no rush to dismantle the pestle frame. Except for the one on duty, everyone went to sleep.

When An An woke up, it was dawn and everyone was still asleep. She estimated that the well water would not become clear so quickly, so she simply spent 0.002 of her energy to help.

As soon as she woke up, Qin Ying woke up immediately, and hurried to help her urinate and make food for her.

On the other side, Zhou Yu also woke up. He pushed Zhao Hu, who was sleeping next to him, awake and handed him a small bag of fried noodles. "Go give it to your sister."

Zhao Hu rubbed his eyes and staggered to Qin Ying.

Qin Ying originally planned to make some corn porridge for An An.

Zhao Hu stuffed the bag of fried noodles into her hands and yawned, "Sister, this is what Master Zhou gave me. It's faster to eat than to cook porridge."

"Huzi," Qin Ying returned the bag to him, frowning and saying, "These days, everyone has limited food. It's not like we don't have anything to eat. Give it back quickly!"

Zhao Hu slowly regained consciousness, looked around, approached Qin Ying, and whispered in her ear, "Lord Zhou told me during the day that he had obtained a batch of grain and now he has no shortage of food.

"Besides, this is what he specially prepared for our An An.

"It doesn't matter what you eat, Master, but An An won't be wronged!"

Then he picked up An An, gave him a "fly", and asked loudly: "Is that right?"

An An cooperated and giggled.

When she woke up, she found that her energy suddenly increased by 0.04. She didn't know why, but when the handsome uncle gave her food and the 0.01 energy that came with it, she could clearly feel it.

Generally speaking, a person's emotional energy bonus is only 0.01, and it will increase when the emotions fluctuate too much.

But she didn't feel that her mother, uncle, or the handsome uncle had any major emotional fluctuations!

I don't understand!

Everyone got up one after another. Aunt Zhong went to light the fire and cook, and Qin Ying went to help.

It is obvious that the number of dry food bags has increased a bit.

Aunt Zhong explained with a smile, "Don't worry, Miss Qin. Our master has received some relief. This time, the whole county can get through the winter by tightening their belts."

Qin Ying smiled at her and couldn't help turning her head to look at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu had already arrived at the well and was personally turning the windlass to draw water.
