Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Thinking of this, An An held onto the kang table and moved to Aunt Zhao's side. She leaned over and bit her cheek, praising her: "Brain, awesome!"

Aunt Zhao's eyes lit up instantly. She pulled her into her arms and kissed her hard on the face twice. She laughed and said, "Look! Our An Baoer has good taste! That shameless guy deserves a beating!"

An An waved his little fist and responded loudly: "Beat him!"

If beating once doesn’t work, beat him twice. If you keep punching until blood comes, you won’t be afraid of not giving in!

Oh, this seems a bit too violent? But who told them to be unreasonable?

Qin Ying held her forehead helplessly, "Mother..."

Aunt Zhao hugged An An and stuffed a steamed bun into her hand for her to grind her teeth. She then said to Qin Ying, "We tried to speak in a nice way but they didn't listen. What can we do?

"Yingzi, you can't reason with everyone. Isn't there a saying that goes, 'When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain his reason clearly'!"

"Let's not talk about this anymore," Qin Ying waved her hand. "Now that Lord Zhou is on our side, I'm sure they won't be coming back anytime soon."

"I'm not afraid of you!" Zhao Hu snorted, "I'm grown up!"

Aunt Zhao said to Qin Ying again, "Mr. Zhou has been very helpful today. How should we thank him?"

Qin Ying sighed unconsciously and said with a wry smile, "What can we show you? They have everything they need."

For a moment, the three adults fell silent.

An An swallowed the steamed bun in his mouth, patted his chest, and said loudly: "Me!"

The handsome uncle just needs a daughter like me who is smart, pretty, cute and helpful!

The three of them looked at her in unison, stunned at first, then burst into laughter. Aunt Zhao kissed her on the cheek again, "My dear baby!"

Ding! Energy +0.03.

However, this increase in energy didn't make An An happy. Why did they react this way? Wasn't what she said wrong? Handsome Uncle was already old and still unmarried, lacking both a wife and children. Hadn't her and her mother given him double happiness at once?

"Silly girl," Aunt Zhao said to An An seriously after laughing, "Don't throw yourself into other people's arms all the time in the future!

“You can’t assume someone is a good person just because they look good.

"Can a pretty face be eaten or worn?

"As the saying goes, 'pretty boys have no good intentions'. Good-looking people are good at coaxing others. You are obviously a simple-minded girl. Don't try to help others count their money when you get cheated!

"Of course, Master Zhou is an exception. Master Zhou is a truly good man! A very good man!"

"Hmph!" I'm so angry that I'm questioning my ability to judge people! An An folded his arms, turned his head away, and raised his chin high.

This little look made everyone laugh again.

An An pouted her little mouth and frowned. This baby is really angry, the kind that is hard to coax!

Qin Ying hugged her and gently smoothed her brows with her hand, then said softly, "My dear, your grandma is right. We should never trust others easily in this world.

"But you are still young, it is a little early to tell you these things, I will teach you slowly in the future.

"Now, let's eat!"

As he said this, he handed An An a small round cake made of various dried nut powders, which was very suitable for grinding teeth.

An An took it immediately and wanted to throw away the steamed bun in her hand, but then she felt a little embarrassed because she thought that food was precious nowadays and should not be wasted.

Qin Ying smiled and took the steamed bun away and put it back into the steamed bun basket. "We'll eat this next time."

An An happily held the small round cake and started to chew it. Soon, a lot of crumbs were stuck on both sides of her face. She was still unaware of it. Her little cheeks were moving at a high frequency, making her face look soft and elastic, so cute.

The three adults fell silent and stared at her, feeling that they could never get enough of looking at her.

"Why is it so quiet?" A head popped in from behind the door curtain. It was Xu Xia. He said with a grin, "There's not a sound at all. I thought you were all asleep!"

The three Zhao family members quickly stood up and offered their seats. "Why are you here at this hour?"

Xu Xia stepped in, looked at the table on the kang that was filled with food, then looked at An An who was looking at him with her big black eyes, and said with a smile, "An An is awake too?"

When An An saw his eyes fall on her little pancake, she put her hands behind her back, pouted and said, "No!"

Xu Xia laughed and stretched out his hand towards her: "Brother, give me a hug?"

Zhao Hu laughed: "Brother Xu, you are older than me! I am An An's uncle. If you let her call you brother, then aren't you a generation younger than me?"

Aunt Zhao raised her hand to hit him again, but she forced herself to hold it back and cursed, "What bullshit!"

"Ah," Xu Xia blinked and tilted his head, "Yeah, now that you've reminded me, I was wrong.

"We are brothers, otherwise, An An would also call me uncle?"

"No!" An An flatly refused and wrinkled her nose at Xu Xia. Do you think anyone is worthy of being my elder?

Xu Xia burst into laughter again, "What a little genius! No wonder he's so popular."

Aunt Zhao poured him a bowl of hot water and asked, "Is Master Zhou busy?"

Xu Xia then explained the purpose of his visit: "My Lord is asking if you have any of the five-spice beans left."

"Yes," Qin Ying hurried outside and brought over a jar of spiced beans. "Take it all. We can't eat so much."

"That's not necessary," Xu Xia quickly declined. "Just give me another bowl. Did you leave this outside? No wonder it didn't go bad."

Aunt Zhao sighed. "Salt is more expensive than gold these days, and there's nowhere to buy it. We only put a tiny amount in. Otherwise, it would freeze outside and go bad quickly."

"What a coincidence," Xu Xia said, smiling as he pulled out two small cloth bags. "Here are two pounds of soybeans and two pounds of salt. The adults asked me to bring them here. Thank you for giving me so much food."

Aunt Zhao quickly declined: "How can we accept this? We only used half a pound of dry beans to soak them. How can it be worth it to wait so long?"

"Don't worry!" Xu Xia said with a smile, "I have something else to say.

“As you all know, there are so many of us, and it’s not convenient for us to live in Uncle Chen Jiu’s house all the time, so we thought about finding a suitable yard in the village to live in.

"Uncle Chen Jiu picked out several places, and the most suitable one is your neighbor to the west. I heard that there is no one living there anymore?"

Aunt Zhao became a little sad when she talked about this. "We are already old! We used to be a big family, with a newly built house and a new daughter-in-law..."

"God is blind. The young wife fell and died, and the old lady died as well.

"The eldest son went mad and ran into the mountains, and his two brothers chased him... None of the three brothers came back.

"The two wives couldn't keep him and remarried, leaving only the old man alone. When the drought came, he starved to death soon after."

Note: 1. "Old" in the text means dead. "Old" means dead, which is a euphemism.
