Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Seeing An An in a daze, Qin Ying handed a small piece of potato coated with sesame salt to her mouth, "Eat it, it's not hot anymore."

An An ate it up in one bite with a "ah-wu" sound, chewing with his cheeks puffed out and his eyes curved with a smile. The food fed by his mother is so delicious!

Aunt Zhao already knew Qin Ying's plan, and like the Zhou sisters, she firmly opposed it. "Forget about Hu Zi, he's just a silly boy, there's no danger. But you are different!"

Zhou Mian nodded continuously: "We all mean this!"

"You can ask Uncle Xu to go with you!" An An suggested, "With him around, there's nothing to worry about!"

It's a good opportunity to meet Deputy General Yu by chance and defeat the enemy without fighting.

Father Zhou should have already taken action. Lieutenant General Yu was injured and returned, and then received a series of bad news... Oh, perfect!

Aunt Zhao slapped her thigh and said, "That's right! How could I have forgotten about Brother Xu! Wait, I'm going to find him right away!"

Xu Xia was also warming himself by the fire in the house. Seeing Aunt Zhao bringing back some roast potatoes, he took them with a smile and asked, "Aunt, are you free today?"

"That's right!" Aunt Zhao said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just roasted some potatoes and brought them over for you to try. Don't look at these potatoes as they are small, they are delicious whether dipped in sugar or sesame salt.

"I'll fry some more later. The fried potato eggs are fragrant and crispy, and they're very satisfying."

After a few words, they talked about going to the city. "Look, are you free? If you are free, accompany Yingzi and Huzi. Huzi is not reliable, and I feel at ease with you accompanying me."

Xu Xia hurriedly said, "What's my responsibility? All right, Auntie, don't worry, just leave their safety to me!"

"Don't worry," Aunt Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "I won't let you make a wasted trip. I know you have enough to eat and drink, so I'll make you a new set of clothes and a new pair of shoes to wear during the New Year!

"I've already bought the fabric and cotton. You don't have to worry about it this time. I've already memorized the color you prefer."

"Oh!" Xu Xia agreed in a crisp voice, feeling very relieved. He lost his parents when he was young. Before coming to Tongshutun, he bought ready-made clothes. Although they were okay, they always felt lacking warmth.

When he came to Tongshutun, Aunt Zhao had already taken over the mending work. Seeing that he didn't have enough clothes to wear, she asked him to buy the cloth he liked and she helped him with the mending.

"Okay!" Xu Xia agreed readily, "Then I won't be polite with you."

"You're welcome!" Aunt Zhao said with a smile, "We're family, aren't we? Okay, then you eat. I'll give Mr. Zhang some more."

The matter was settled, and Xu Xia accompanied Qin Ying, Zhao Hu and An An to the county town.

Originally, I didn’t plan to bring An An, but An An secretly told Qin Ying that she would give her a surprise, so Qin Ying had to agree.

After discussing with Uncle Chen Jiu, they borrowed a mule cart from the village. They padded the cart with thick straw and spread out bedding. Qin Ying and her daughter sat wrapped in bedding, and they even had the hot water bottle that Aunt Zhao forced on them in their arms. They didn't feel cold at all.

The carts in the village are flatbed carts used to transport grain and straw. They have no sheds, and if you are not well prepared, you will inevitably catch a cold and get sick.

When the villagers heard that they were going into the city, they encouraged them and gathered a dozen people, hitched another donkey cart, and went into the city together.

With more people, there is more courage, so Qin Ying did not refuse.

No one else came over to squeeze in with them.

So everyone set off in a lively manner.

It’s true, with all the chatter and laughter going on, the journey didn’t seem so long at all. Before we knew it, we had walked more than twenty miles.

Dust billowed in the air. Xu Xia, who was driving the cart in front, shouted, "A horse team is coming! Let's move to the side!"

The two cars stopped close to the roadside. Everyone raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses, and everyone had complaints on their faces. They were afraid that after the horse team passed, everyone would become barbarians!

Unexpectedly, the group of people did not rush past them, but stopped nearby.

The leader was wearing a black suit, and his hat was covered with a layer of fine dust, which made it look grayish yellow.

His face was also gray-black, and his facial features were somewhat similar to Yu's. He had a short mustache and looked down upon people with a condescending attitude.

Most people have guessed his identity without any introduction.

The villagers all shrank their necks and lowered their heads, not wanting to deal with such people.

This guy is better. The people behind him all look fierce and tough, and it’s obvious that they are not easy to mess with.

What's more, they all carry swords. If they start fighting over a disagreement, the villagers will become lambs to be slaughtered.

Deputy General Yu leaned forward slightly and raised his chin towards Xu Xia: "Hey, I want to ask you something!"

Xu Xia rolled up his sleeves, revealing a silly look on his face, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lieutenant General Yu raised his whip and pointed, "Is that the road ahead leading to Tongshu Village?"

"Yes," Xu Xia nodded, "It leads to Tongshu Village. Just walk for about twenty miles and you'll see the boundary marker!"

Deputy General Yu nodded slightly, glanced at the two cars, and saw Qin Ying who was blocked behind Zhao Hu.

Although Zhao Hu tried to block it, Deputy General Yu could still see it clearly from his high vantage point.

Qin Ying is good at makeup. Although she deliberately disguised herself before going out, she only drew her eyebrows thicker and painted her face darker.

Her facial features and stature haven't changed, and anyone with a discerning eye can tell she's a young and beautiful girl.

Deputy Yu showed some interest and asked, "Which village are you from?"

Xu Xia answered honestly, "We are from Tongshu Village. We gathered enough people to go to the market."

"I heard the most beautiful woman in Tongshu Village is Qin Ying," Deputy General Yu said frivolously. He had a special fetish and couldn't live without women. To support his sister, he had been traveling at full speed and had been wearing nothing for several days. "How does her appearance compare to this woman?"

He has seen countless people, so he can naturally see through disguises to see the essence. The woman in the car is outstanding.

Zhao Hu's face changed, and just as he was about to say something, Qin Ying said, "Sir, you're joking. I'm already a mother...

"If you want to talk about beauty, a few days ago, a lady came to visit her relatives in our village. She was really beautiful! The hairpin on her head was so beautiful that it made people unable to open their eyes."

Only then did Lieutenant General Yu notice the little girl in Qin Ying's arms. The little girl had a round face, round eyes, two black buns tied with a red hairband. Although her face was also dark, she looked pretty and lively no matter how you looked at her.

He curled his lips. "What good things can you find in this remote mountain village? What are you planning to buy? How much will it cost?"

Xu Xia said first, "Ah, Master, you are right! How much money can we have in this poor mountain village? We can only buy some rice, flour, grain and oil to prepare for the New Year. If there is any surplus, we will buy some candy for the children at home.

"I brought twenty taels of silver. Sister-in-law, how much did you bring?"

"Three..." Qin Ying lowered her head and stammered, "Thirty cents."
