Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

When Zhang Jinzhi saw the ginseng, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. "How could we still find ginseng at this time?"

"We didn't expect that," Qin Ying held the ginseng with a clean cloth. "This thing is useless to us. Take it. If it can help Master Zhou in any way, it will be a blessing for us."

Zhang Jinzhi hesitated for a moment, "This matter has not been approved by the adults..."

"Sir," Qin Ying raised her voice slightly, "you are Mr. Zhou's right-hand man, and you should know Mr. Zhou's situation best.

"Lord Zhou is a good official, dedicated to serving the people. I'm afraid he's spent all his private savings, right?"

Zhang Jinzhi sighed and acquiesced. Actually, it wasn't just Zhou Yu; the others had also taken out all their savings.

I have personally witnessed corpses with emaciated limbs and bulging bellies, white bones stripped of flesh, and human heads boiled in pots...

Only then did I truly understand what human tragedy was.

The description of “starving people everywhere” in the book is so light and frivolous!

No matter what happened in the past or what will happen in the future, they only have one thought at the moment, to do their best and save as many people as possible!

Seeing his expression soften, Qin Ying continued to persuade him, "Sir, the Lord has promised to reward the local villagers, and this ginseng is nurtured by heaven and earth. Isn't it appropriate to take it from the people and use it for the people?"

"Okay," Zhang Jinzhi was persuaded by her words and took it with both hands. "No matter what reason you give, the fact that you can give me this ginseng shows that you have a kind heart."

Qin Ying felt embarrassed. "This is not just my opinion. My mother thinks so too."

After a pause, he added, "Seriously speaking, this ginseng was actually found by An An. But, sir, please don't tell anyone."

"Don't worry," Zhang Jinzhi promised solemnly, "Nothing, including the matter of the ginseng, will be made public. But we will never forget your contribution!"

"No, no," Qin Ying waved her hands hurriedly, "We don't need it! Please don't say that!"

Zhang Jinzhi stroked his beard and smiled, "Girl, I know what you're worried about! Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you.

"When I say 'we' I mean Lord Zhou and I, and this matter is known only to the two of us.

"Not to mention the folks in Tongshu Village, even the other people around you wouldn't know a thing."

Qin Ying breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little embarrassed.

Zhang Jinzhi changed the subject at the right time: "How are your studies going recently?" He found that Qin Ying had a talent for reading and was extremely hardworking, and was worthy of support.

It's a pity that she is a woman. Otherwise, it would be nice for him to have her as a disciple, who could help him on his official career in the future.

Qin Ying showed a hint of joy on her face: "I have gained a lot of knowledge." She wanted to share her thoughts on reading.

Aunt Zhao, who was standing outside, suddenly said to An An loudly, "Your mother is borrowing books from Mr. Zhang!"

The light in Qin Ying's eyes dimmed a little. She sighed silently and bowed, "Sir, I'll go back first."

"No rush," Zhang Jinzhi realized that some villagers had come to watch. He grabbed a book and walked out with a small stool. "That's perfect. I want to get some sun, too. Tell me about your discoveries, and I'll find a few books for you."

The worst thing about studying is studying in isolation. It was rare to have such a knowledgeable person willing to provide guidance. Qin Ying hesitated for a moment and then followed him out.

Zhang Jinzhi sat down in the sunlight, half-closed his eyes, and nodded at Qin Ying: "You go ahead."

Qin Ying recited a passage clearly, then pointed out the most exciting part, expressed her understanding, and asked, "Sir, am I right?"

Zhang Jinzhi nodded slightly. "Yes, it's not easy for you to understand this, but there is one more thing..."

The villagers who were peering outside the wall looked at each other, their faces full of confusion: "What are they talking about?"

"Memorizing! You can't even hear that, what an idiot!"

"Oh yes, Yingzi seems to be able to read..."

Aunt Zhao glanced at them out of the corner of her eye and snorted, then lowered her head to watch An An feeding the chickens.

Zhang Jinzhi helped solve a few problems and handed the book in his hand to Qin Ying, saying, "Take it back and read it. If you don't understand anything, come back and ask me."

An An ran to Qin Ying, hugged her legs, raised her little head, and praised: "Mom, you are so great!"

"You're great too!" Qin Ying bent down, picked up the child, and said goodbye to Zhang Jinzhi.

Zhang Jinzhi smiled and asked, "I haven't asked yet, what is An An's full name?"

During the Chinese New Year, Zhao Hu suggested giving An An a big name, but Qin Ying did not agree.

When Zhang Jinzhi asked this question, it was a little difficult to answer.

Aunt Zhao continued, "Well! Aren't we still trying to decide whose surname An An should take?"

"Needless to say?" someone outside the wall said, "Of course his last name is Guo!"

Someone else said, "What if Guo Wen doesn't want to? It's not like Guo Wen can't have children..."

Aunt Zhao glared at them fiercely: "What does it have to do with you?"

Several people shut up awkwardly.

Aunt Zhao then turned to Zhang Jinzhi and said, "Huzi and I both want An'an to have the surname Zhao, and Yingzi said she wants An'an to have the surname Qin. Isn't this something that hasn't been decided yet?

"Anyway, An An is still young, there's no need to rush."

Zhang Jinzhi nodded: "Well, you guys fight hard, and when you decide, be sure to tell us so we can join in the fun."

"Why are you joining in the fun?" Aunt Zhao didn't understand.

Zhang Jinzhi said cheerfully, "Don't we need to add An An to the family tree? This is a big deal, shouldn't you treat us?"

Aunt Zhao's face flushed. "What you're saying... Eight generations of our ancestors couldn't read, so how could we have such a thing as a family tree?"

Zhang Jin was stunned and immediately apologized to her: "I'm sorry, I didn't know... But it's not difficult. Isn't Hu Zi literate now? It's not too late to compile the family tree starting from his generation."

Aunt Zhao's eyes lit up. "You're right! I'll definitely encourage him to study hard in the future!"

After saying that, the family said goodbye and left. Several villagers who were guarding outside the yard immediately surrounded them and asked them what they were doing there.

Aunt Zhao nodded at the book in Qin Ying's hand and took An An from her, "Can't you see? Borrow the book from Mr. Zhang!

"Don't you all say that studying is useless? I, Yingzi, learned this new skill of growing vegetables from a book. Didn't you benefit from it?"

They said that they learned things like fertilizing plants and artificial pollination from books.

The villagers looked more and more embarrassed. "That was when all that happened? How come you still remember it? We all know that Yingzi is a very capable person and a treasure of our Tongshu Village!"

"Our Tongshu Village is also a good place. Otherwise, how could we keep Yingzi here? Is this the...something spirit Mr. Zhang mentioned?"

Zhang Jinzhi heard it and couldn't help but remind him: "The land is blessed with outstanding people!"
