Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Uncle Chen Jiu wanted Zhou Yu and An An to develop a relationship, so he sent Zhao Hu away: "Go and call all the villagers here. I have something to tell them."

"What's the matter, Master Jiu?" Zhao Hu looked at An An eagerly. Why didn't this little thing ask his uncle to feed it?

"Just go if I tell you to!" Uncle Chen Jiu glared at him.

Only then did Zhao Hu stand up and run out.

An An only ate half a bowl of walnut juice and didn't want it anymore. If she drank too much, she would want to pee, and asking a handsome uncle to help her pee would damage her image!

Zhou Yu held An An in one hand and drank all the remaining walnut pulp. It tasted slightly bitter and had a rough texture.

But he drank it all without changing his expression, and then coaxed An An to play.

Soon the villagers arrived one after another, stood outside the yard, and talked to each other in low voices.

Uncle Chen Jiu said loudly, "Excuse me for taking up a moment of your time. Master Zhou has something to say."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Master Jiu, please let the old man speak."

Uncle Chen Jiu then stood on the bare doorpost outside the gate and repeated Zhou Yu's intentions, concluding with an emphasis: "Your Excellency should politely discuss this matter with us, even though it's clearly something you could have ordered directly. We shouldn't be ungrateful and bring bad luck upon ourselves."

The villagers hurriedly said, "The master is willing to exchange food with us, which means he thinks highly of us! Exchange! Why not exchange?"

"Uncle Jiu, if you tell me, when will we change it? Let's go back and weigh it!"

"We are all sensible people. If it weren't for the master and the others, we would have no idea whether we could collect all the grain! If the master has a word, we must listen!"

Uncle Chen Jiu was very satisfied with this reaction. He agreed with a smile and specifically called Qin Ying out: "Yingzi, you are the only literate person in our village now. Come and help with the account keeping!

"Fellow villagers, you don't have to weigh yourselves. Just bring all the grain here and line up in front of my door. We'll weigh it one by one. Yingzi will be the accountant here, and the adults must also send someone out. That way, we can both feel at ease."

The villagers all agreed and quickly went back to transport their own grain. Those who could not transport it themselves also asked others for help.

Suddenly, the place outside Uncle Chen Jiu's door became as lively as a market.

On this side, Zhang Jinzhi also asked someone to pick out the grain that he had counted and needed to be exchanged.

The people Qin Ying registered took their own food and went to the other side to queue up to exchange it. Uncle Chen Jiu was watching over there. Although he could not read a few words, he was very accurate in recognizing weights.

We were busy until it was completely dark.

During this period, An An followed Zhou Yu all the time, while Zhao Hu went to help Aunt Zhao pick food.

When Xu Xia cooked dinner, he also prepared portions for the Zhao family. After the food was exchanged and the villagers had all left, when Aunt Zhao and Zhao Hu came to pick up Qin Ying and An An, Zhou Yu directly left some food for them.

Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying were about to decline, but Zhou Yu chuckled and said, "Miss Qin has been a great help today, so she should pay for the meal."

Uncle Chen Jiu also smiled and said, "You're welcome! If you feel bad, just send some of the vegetables and melons you grow in your yard over!"

Fearing that the Zhao family would feel restrained, Zhou Yu did not eat with them and took Xu Xia to the next door.

There was a small square table in the yard of Uncle Chen Jiu's house, and four adults sat around it.

An An had already eaten the egg custard and corn porridge fed by Zhou Yu, so Qin Ying asked Uncle Chen Jiu for a large basket, put her in it, and let her play by herself.

Of course, he also saw the peace locket hanging around An An's neck, so he asked Zhao Hu in a low voice where it came from.

Uncle Chen Jiu recounted the story, glanced towards the next yard, and said in a low voice, "Don't be foolish and say no! If not for yourselves, you should at least consider the child!

"It's been good these past two years. Even though it was a year of famine, the villagers still remember your kindness.

"But this famine will eventually pass, right? Those idiots who moved away will surely move back.

"By then, there will be many people talking and forgetting things, what will you do if you get bullied?

"How many more years can an old man like me live? Once I die, I won't be able to take care of anything anymore!

"But if there's this kind of relationship, even if there's no further contact, others will still be wary.

"When An An grows up, her husband's family will surely be good families!"

Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying knew that what he said made sense, so they nodded in agreement.

Qin Ying was still thinking about going back and finding something from her mother's belongings as a return gift.

Although An An was playing, his little ears were always erect. Oh, this little old man is really a good person!

When I upgrade myself in the future, I will definitely benefit from him!

After dinner, Qin Ying took the opportunity to tell Uncle Chen Jiu about the germination rate of the grain that she had obtained unexpectedly.

Almost 100%, and the seedlings are very strong.

Uncle Chen Jiu was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. The autumn harvest was already considered a good harvest, but it was still far inferior to those.

He kept all the food for himself and did not exchange it with Zhou Yu.

After chatting for a few more words, the Zhao family carried the sleeping An An back home.

After the autumn harvest, the people of Tongshutun went out together again to plow the fields prepared for planting wheat, then carried water to moisten the land and quickly planted the wheat.

Then it’s time to harvest the vegetables.

At the beginning, of course, the priority was to grow crops to ensure that the water source would not dry up. Later, several acres of land were cleared to grow radishes, cabbages, onions, etc.

In addition, every household has a lot of vegetables planted in their yards, and they have to be harvested before the frost falls.

The vegetables grown by the collective are still collected first and then distributed among the people at the edge of the field. Each family has to deal with the vegetables grown by themselves.

The Zhao family received 100 kilograms of cabbage, 50 kilograms of radishes, 30 kilograms of onions, 40 kilograms of garlic, and several bundles of coriander, and stored them in the cellar along with the winter melons and pumpkins they picked from their own yard.

The rest of the vegetables should be dried in the sun.

Several days passed in a busy manner.

Zhou Yu sent someone to invite Zhao Hu again. This time the place they were going to was farther away, so he didn't plan to bring Qin Ying with him.

Aunt Zhao offered to go together.

Qin Ying said, "Aunt, let Hu Zi and I go. Otherwise, An An and I will be left at home. I'm scared."

Aunt Zhao thought about the past and felt that it was inappropriate, but there was food and vegetables at home, and it would not do without someone to look after them.

So he thought about staying with An An.

Zhao Hu hurriedly said, "Mom, let An An follow us."

"You rascal!" Aunt Zhao's face darkened. "It's not like last time. The weather is getting colder day by day. You guys are out sleeping in the open, why bother letting An An suffer with you?"

The one who came to invite people was Xu Xia. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, aunt! We have tents, so we won't be cold when we go out.

"Besides, our boss also said that anyone who follows us out will be paid, and we'll settle the bill once the work is done.

"If you want to go, come with us. We'll send someone to help look after the house. If even a grain of food is missing, we'll pay you back a hundredfold!

"What do you think?"
