Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Uncle Chen Jiu said with a smile: "That's right, the five-spice tofu made by Yingzi and the dried mushrooms are really delicious!"

When Xu Xia went to the Zhao family and told them about it, Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying naturally couldn't refuse.

Fortunately, the ingredients were prepared, so the mother and daughter rolled up their sleeves and got to work.

Uncle Chen Jiu was afraid that they were too busy, so he called Chen Ersao, who lived nearby, to come and help.

Halfway through the work, Zhao Hu came over holding the crying An An.

As soon as she saw Zhou Yu, the little girl burst into laughter and stretched out her little hands for a hug.

Zhou Yu happily took her and carried her back to the inner room.

Mrs. Chen's eyes were filled with envy: "Master Zhou treats An An so well! But then again, An An is also a lovely child!"

Aunt Zhao was in a good mood and praised An An again: "This child is here to repay my gratitude. He is very easy to take care of. He sleeps after eating and loves to laugh..."

"Yingzi is so kind-hearted!" Chen Ersao sighed, "Who would dare to pick up a child and raise him in that situation?

"An An was lucky. If it had happened to someone else... Sister Zhao, have you heard? Those bandits call little kids 'rotten bones'. They say if they boil them in a pot, even their bones will become rotten."

Aunt Zhao was startled, and the hairs on her body stood up. "Where did you hear that? Why is it so creepy?"

Chen Ersao sighed deeply, "Alas, Sister Zhao, you know, my mother's family is from Jiudaowan."

Aunt Zhao felt cold all over, as Jiudaowan was not far from the bandit’s lair.

"Back then, I was sold here by my parents for a hundred yuan," Chen Ersao added hastily, fearing she might misunderstand. "They just thought I was dead, and I never went back.

"It was the second year after the famine that my nephew from my mother's family suddenly came to take my mother and me back to his mother's home..."

Chen Er was a simple and honest man. The nephew said that Chen Ersao's mother was dying and he wanted to see her for the last time, so he urged his wife to go with him.

Chen Ersao was quite clever. She chatted with her nephew on the way and found something was wrong. She took her daughter and hid under the pretext of urinating.

The nephew couldn't find them, so he had a quarrel with his accomplices who came to pick them up and let the secret slip.

Mrs. Chen sighed again, "They call those who want to be eaten 'two-legged sheep', and those who are a bit older 'spare the fire', meaning that if the fire is too small, the meat will be tough and not tasty.

"Young girls and wives are called 'Buxiyang'... they are all beasts!"

Aunt Zhao shuddered several times and said quickly, "Stop talking! I'm considered brave, but I'm scared to death!"

"So," Chen Ersao patted her arm, "Sister Zhao, when those two bastards were dragged out of your house, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep for two nights!"

Aunt Zhao was shaking all over and couldn't do any work.

Qin Ying held her hand and helped her sit on a small stool. "Mom, take it easy. It's okay. Isn't it all over?"

In fact, Qin Ying herself had a layer of cold sweat on her back. She couldn't even bear to think about what happened back then!

Mrs. Chen felt extremely guilty: "It's all my fault! Why did you have to say this for no reason?

"Sister Zhao, it's all over! Don't be afraid! Don't we have Lord Zhou? Lord Zhou has already sent people to wipe out the bandit's nest!"

Inside the room, Zhou Yu ordered Xu Xia to take a bundle, open it, and take out the new clothes from inside for An An to measure. "Take a look, do they look good?"

Zhao Hu rubbed his hands nervously: "Master Zhou, this is unacceptable! We cannot accept your things!"

"It's not for you," Zhou Yu just gestured to An An with the clothes, "I just asked An An if she likes it."

These little clothes are very delicately made and have beautiful colors. One set is bright red, the other is pink, and they are matched with small hats and shoes of the same color.

An An hugged the clothes and laughed, "I like it! Who doesn't like beautiful things!"

Look at the big yellow flowers and blue butterflies on this dress, how delicate!

Zhou Yu touched the soft hair on An An's head. She had never had her hair cut since she was adopted by Qin Ying. Now it was more than two inches long. Qin Ying tied two small buns for her with a red hairband.

He lowered his head and rummaged through his bag, pulling out two pairs of headbands that were the same color as his clothes, with small copper bells hanging at the ends.

He picked out the red pair and tied them on An An's bun.

Whenever An An shakes her head, a clear "ling ling" sound is heard, and she also laughs in a baby voice.

Zhou Yu was in a good mood and said to Zhao Hu, "Look, this isn't a very good material. It just looks good in color, but it's not worth much."

Zhao Hu went forward and flipped through the clothes. The surface of the clothes was indeed similar to what they usually wore, but the lining was very soft, and he could tell from the touch that it was made of new cotton.

But he still said seriously: "Master Zhou, although this is a gift for An An, An An is my child. She is so young, so of course the decision can only be made by an adult..."

Zhou Yu found it funny, "You are still a child too!"

"I'm not!" Zhao Hu puffed out his chest and said firmly, "I'm the only man in the family! I'm the pillar of the family!

"From now on, my mother, my sister, and An An will all rely on me for protection!"

"Silly boy," Zhou Yu chuckled and didn't argue with him, "Then go ask your mother and your sister if they will accept it."

Zhao Hu really turned around and left.

Zhou Yu took the opportunity to put two more silver bracelets on An An's hands, "I should give you a pair of jade ones, but I heard that silver ones are better for children.

"When you are older, uncle will give you jade. Now I am saving it for you."

Energy value +0.02.

An An laughed at Zhou Yu, looking a bit silly.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but touch her head again. It seemed that this child was not always so magical. Now she was no different from an ordinary baby, right?

To be fair, if it were his own child, he would rather it be an ordinary child.

After all, a child with supernatural powers is a tempting piece of fat meat in the eyes of others. If he is targeted by someone with bad intentions, the consequences will be unimaginable.

He sent Xu Xia out and whispered in An An's ear, "An An, from now on, never show off your extraordinary abilities to anyone. Otherwise, it will bring misfortune to you and your family."

I know that!

An An blinked her bright big eyes. People with bad character will not get close to this leader!

Although Zhao Hu was simple-minded, he was not stupid. When he saw Chen Ersao outside, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and turned back to the house.

An An, this heartless little girl, was coaxed away by that pretty boy at some point!

Ah, that’s not right. Lord Zhou is not a gigolo. Lord Zhou is a good official!

But no matter how good an official is, he cannot kidnap his beloved niece!

This niece is his! Her surname is Zhao!

Come to think of it, I haven’t given An An a full name yet. Isn’t it time to give her a name during the Chinese New Year?

Aunt Zhao and others prepared a total of nine dishes and two large pots of mixed flour steamed buns, which were enough for not only Uncle Chen Jiu, but also the people in the yards on both sides.

I also fried some radish balls and tofu puffs so you can save them and eat them later.

After the meal was ready, there was still a lot of oil left from frying. The three of them discussed and decided to keep the clean oil for cooking and use the leftover oil to make dumplings.
