Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

When Qin Ying heard the noise, she quickly got downstairs to put on her shoes, added warm water for them to wash their hands and faces, and then went to the pot to bring the rice.

When the weather gets cold, they no longer use the kitchen outside and instead use the stove in the main room.

The stove was equipped with two pots, one large and one small. The stove chimney was connected to Zhao Hu's room, so whenever he used the fire to cook, he was also heating his kang.

Aunt Zhao told Qin Ying about what she had seen on the mountain and added, "Watching the wells in the mountains is tough work, and it's not easy for those two old men either."

Wang Ergou and Wang Tiezhu were not good at sewing. When their clothes were torn, they would just roll them into knots. Their cotton-padded jackets and trousers were all wrinkled, especially their trousers, which were too short due to the many knots and exposed their dark ankles, making them look funny and pitiful.

Zhao Hu said innocently, "Mom, let's help them. I'll go get their clothes, and you and my sister can help wash and mend them."

"Silly boy!" Aunt Zhao patted him on the head. "Stop talking nonsense!"

Zhao Hu pouted, he felt that what he said was very reasonable!

Aunt Zhao sighed deeply, "I, your mother, am a widow, and they are both bachelors. If it's a short time, it's nothing, but if it's a long time, then there will be all kinds of things.

"It's okay to criticize me. Your mother is shameless, but we still have your sister at home! How old is your sister? You can't let anyone throw dirty water on her!"

Zhao Hu was silent.

Qin Ying thought for a while and said, "Mom, I have an idea. Although Grandma Wang is old, her eyesight and hearing are not blurry. Uncle Tiezhu and Uncle Ergou don't have many clothes, so she should be able to handle it.

"Even if I'm too busy, I can just call any aunt or sister for help, and no one will say anything."

Aunt Zhao's eyes lit up. "That's right! I'll go to your Grandma Wang's house after dinner!"

"No," Qin Ying hurriedly stopped her, "You should go and tell Master Chen Jiu first. It would be better for Master Jiu to be the middleman.

"I think Grandma Wang and Uncle Tiezhu are from the same family? They have no relatives left.

“If Uncle Chen Jiu could take charge and let them help each other, it would be a good thing.

"But in the end, it all depends on what they want. Even if we have this idea, whether it succeeds or not depends on them."

Aunt Zhao slapped her thigh and said, "She's my daughter after all! She's so thoughtful!"

After dinner, Aunt Zhao really went to see Uncle Chen Jiu.

Uncle Chen Jiu really took her question to heart after hearing her euphemistically mention it, "The Wang family's older sister and Tiezhu's father are cousins within the fifth degree of mourning.

"If your Aunt Wang hadn't stepped in, those two worthless people might not have been willing to get out of the village.

"Tie Zhu has long said that when your Aunt Wang gets old, he will carry banners and smash pots for her.

"He does all the hard work for your Aunt Wang, such as fetching water and grinding flour.

"If they can really recognize each other as mother and son, then it will be more legitimate. Adding another Ergou won't be a big deal. Your Aunt Wang got two eldest sons for free!"

Uncle Chen Jiu has always been decisive in his actions. He made up his mind to go find Grandma Wang.

Aunt Zhao finished everything she could do, and with a heavy heart, she decided to go home.

As I reached the door, I met Zhou Yu coming from next door.

Zhou Yu greeted her politely and asked, "Why didn't you bring An An with you?"

"It's too cold," Aunt Zhao said with a stiff smile. "The child is still young, it would be too hard for him to be brought out."

She moved aside, ready to let Zhou Yu go in first.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu stopped her and said, "Aunt Zhao, I just got two pieces of leather. Take them back and make a set of clothes for An An.

"I heard it's very cold in the mountains in winter. I hope such a young child won't suffer."

An An is the youngest child in Tongshu Village.

Aunt Zhao wanted to refuse, but Xu Xia, at Zhou Yu's signal, quickly took out the bundle and stuffed it into her arms, saying with a grin, "We're a bunch of men, none of us can sew, so it's useless to keep it."

Before Aunt Zhao could say anything else, Zhou Yu had already gone into the house.

Xu Xia walked her out, saying, "Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhong's sewing isn't very good either. If you feel bad about it, please help us out when we need to sew next time."

"Don't make excuses, we've noticed it before. Your family has the most beautiful needlework in all of Tongshu Village!"

Aunt Zhao blinked her eyes. This was indeed true. Yingzi in their family was very dexterous. Not to mention the simplest stitching, even her embroidery was vivid and lifelike. Under her guidance, her needlework skills became better and better.

So he readily agreed: "Okay, if you have any mending work, just come to me!"

She looked at Xu Xia as if he were the kid next door, without much sense of distance.

As for Zhou Yu, ever since she knew that he had sent people to wipe out the bandits, she had truly realized his power. No matter how gentle his smile was, she felt restrained.

When he got home and opened the bundle, he found three pieces of rabbit skin, one white and two gray, as well as three pounds of snow-white cotton wool.

Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying looked at each other.

Qin Ying rewrapped the bundle and said with a frown, "Mom, can we have this?"

"Ah..." Aunt Zhao sucked her teeth for a long time before saying, "If I send this back, no one will want it!

"Yingzi, how about this? We'll keep a pound of cotton, and you can cut the rabbit skins to make a set of clothes for An An. The rest, you can make clothes for Mr. Zhou. What do you say?"

Qin Ying pondered for a while and nodded in agreement, "That's it. When the mushrooms and vegetables we grow grow, we'll send them more."

Simply refusing can easily offend people.

Besides, secretly, she also hoped that An An could spend the winter in warmth.

Zhou Yu explained that the cotton coat he had been given earlier did not need to be returned and had already been unpacked.

They still had some old clothes from previous years to wear, and they planned to turn these two sets into bedding for An An.

Their old bedding no longer kept them warm and was even weighing them down.

But you still need to take apart and wash the quilt cover, and beat the cotton wool, and it will always be usable.

The Zhao family doesn’t have many beddings, so they can’t be taken apart and washed together. Otherwise, if they can’t be washed, they will be useless at night, so they have to take turns.

This went on for several days.

When Aunt Zhao appeared at Uncle Chen Jiu's house holding An An and carrying a bag, both Zhou Yu and Xu Xia were very surprised.

Zhou Yu looked at Xu Xia twice more, his eyes full of blame.

Xu Xia looked aggrieved. He didn't know if Aunt Zhao could return the things she had received. It had been several days!

"Hey, that's not right!" Xu Xia said quickly, "Master, look at the clothes An An is wearing!"

An An was wearing a gray rabbit fur cotton coat with white fur edges, and a hat of the same color on her head.

The white fur makes her little face look rosy and her eyes and eyebrows more lively.

As soon as she saw Zhou Yu, she stretched out her little hands and asked for a hug.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile and took the child from Aunt Zhao's arms.
