Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Aunt Zhao followed them into the house and smiled a little stiffly: “Master Zhou, we dare not accept your things for free.

"An An is still young and won't need that much, so I made you a waist protector and a pair of cotton sleeves. Try them on to see if they fit you."

Although Zhou Yu was thin, the remaining fur was not enough to make him a complete set of clothes. Qin Ying thought about it again and again before making such an arrangement.

The reason why we asked Aunt Zhao to bring An An here today was to let Zhou Yu know that they did not let him down.

Xu Xia first took out the sleeves and showed them to Zhou Yu, "Master, take a look! Hey! This is really beautiful work!"

The sleeves are made of the cotton-padded jackets that were distributed previously, embroidered with simple auspicious cloud patterns. The lining is made of white rabbit fur, and the interlayer is made of cotton wool. The exterior is dirt-resistant and the interior is warm.

Xu Xia put it on Zhou Yu and tried it out. It was light, soft and warm, and he couldn't help but smile and nod.

Xu Xia picked up the waist protector again.

Aunt Zhao explained sheepishly, "We don't have good material at home, so we just took apart the cotton-padded clothes we were given..."

Although those fabrics could not compare with what the master used on a daily basis, they were already the best they could come up with.

Moreover, Qin Ying also embroidered flowers, making the originally ordinary fabric become noble.

"It's even colder in the mountains at night," Aunt Zhao pointed at the waist protector. "I heard from Hu Zi that Lord Zhou was still busy in the middle of the night. This will be of some use."

Zhou Yu nodded and thanked him: "Thank you for your trouble. I like it very much."

With Zhou Yu and Xu Xia around, Uncle Chen Jiu's house was very warm. An An couldn't wear her hat anymore, so she took it off and put it on Zhou Yu.

Her hat was small and delicate, and it looked a little funny on Zhou Yu's head. She couldn't help clapping and giggling.

Zhou Yu scratched her nose with his finger, "You already know how to play tricks on others at such a young age?"

An An hugged his fingers, tilted her head and smiled obediently.

Aunt Zhao wanted to take the child over, "Sir, An An is getting heavier and heavier. Let me hold him."

"It's okay," Zhou Yu weighed An An in his hand, "She's indeed grown a lot bigger than before. You've taken good care of her!"

Aunt Zhao's face was full of love, "It's this child who is lovable."

An An's little face was smiling like a flower. In such a short while, she gained 0.02 energy!

Aunt Zhao actually had nothing to talk about with Zhou Yu, so she wanted to take An An home.

Suddenly there was a noise outside and someone was calling Uncle Chen Jiu's name.

Soon, Uncle Chen Jiu welcomed several middle-aged and elderly people with sad faces to his room.

The curtain of Zhou Yu's room was not drawn, and he could see clearly even though there was only a main room between them.

Aunt Zhao asked curiously, "Aren't these people from Huaihuagou and Sanlihe? What are they doing here?"

"Auntie, do you know him?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Yes," Aunt Zhao nodded, "our villages are close to each other, and many of the villagers are relatives.

“Actually, there are quite a few villages around here, including Huaihuagou, Sanlihe, Gaozhuangzi, Dawangzhuang, Xiaowangzhuang…

"Actually, Huaihuagou and Sanlihe are quite far from Tongshutun, with Dawangzhuang in between.

"We used to go to Kaoshantun, 20 miles away, to fetch water. The well in Kaoshantun was a deep well, but there was no clean water there.

"For ordinary people like us, just being alive is enough. Even if we can't make it back and can only bring back half a bucket of mud, at least we can still survive.

"Eating mud and water together will still fill your stomach, right?"

An An listened quietly, blinking her big eyes, and subconsciously touched her chest. Why did she always feel sad?

Before I came here, my grandma's family lived a really...

Aunt Zhao became increasingly distressed as she spoke, her eyes beginning to turn red. She took a deep breath and said, "I haven't had anything to eat for days... I really haven't had anything to eat. Even if it was mud, I wouldn't eat it all at once.

“If we hadn’t found An Baoer, we really wouldn’t want to live.

"This may be the first time you've heard these words.

"Why did Yingzi take Huzi out? She wanted to tell her mother that she might not be buried with her.

"People these days, there's nothing to say. We're afraid we'll die without a complete body!"

"So we piled up firewood in our house and under the windowsills, ready to burn ourselves to death."

An An kept looking at him, and she asked, why were there so many old firewoods piled up in a mess under the window when she first arrived at Zhao's house?

But then again, if it weren't for this pile of firewood, or even if it were my own lucky physique that saved me from disaster, those two criminals wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.

Zhou Yu also felt quite sad.

But before he could open his mouth to comfort her, Aunt Zhao calmed herself down, "People say that kindness brings blessings. We adopted An An, and instead of waiting to die at home, isn't this giving us hope for survival?"

"Our village has a well, a pond, and we've started growing vegetables and crops, and other villages are getting to know about it.

"To be frank, at the beginning, our hearts were in our throats. How deep was the well we dug?

"If several villages come together to fetch water, won't the water be dried up quickly?

"You've probably noticed that every household in the village keeps their water jars, pots, basins, and anything that can hold water full every day, just in case the well runs dry and they have no water to drink.

"We've thought about digging a canal to bring the water down before, but you know, it's so far from the mountain to the village, how much water would be lost along the way? We couldn't bear it!

“However, when people from other villages come to fetch water, whether for drinking or to grow crops, we dare not refuse them!

"Let's not talk about others. I always think, it would be great if they could dig out water in their village..."

Zhou Yu's heart moved slightly and his eyes fell on An An.

An An also tilted her little head. She also wanted to dig a well for another village, but her family wouldn't take her out, so she had no choice!

Who made her a little piece of trash with energy not exceeding 10?

For example, the scope of Tianyan's inspection can be expanded to a radius of five miles. However, digging a well is not something she can do simply by expending some energy.

The location must be suitable, close to water veins, and suitable for connection to the underground water network so that it will not dry up in the future.

To put it bluntly, the water she exchanged for energy could only last for three years at most.

If there is rainfall after three years, it will not dry up. If there is no rainfall to replenish groundwater, it will gradually become a dry well.

She couldn't help but look up at the sky. It is said that "a major disaster will not last more than three years", so this drought should be over... right?

Zhou Yu was silent for a while and then said, "I was negligent. I thought that with this well as a safeguard, the surrounding villages would be safe for the time being.

"The weather is getting colder day by day, and it's not convenient to travel far. Let's take people out for a walk these few days. If we can find a water source on the other side, wouldn't that be even better?"
