Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man
Chapter 76: Missing
Before Qin Ying could speak, Aunt Zhao said, "Okay! I agree on behalf of Yingzi! But, Auntie, you know, he's so busy right now that he definitely can't take care of it.
"How about this? When it's winter and there's nothing to do, you can ask Dashuan to come over and learn to read with Huzi and Yingzi. What do you think?"
"Sure, sure, sure!" The man grinned from ear to ear, "It's not impossible. I'm already very grateful that you're willing to teach me!
"Well, I heard that learning to read and write with a teacher also requires money. We are very poor now and can't afford anything. But we do have some food at home now. So...how about I weigh some beans and make you some tofu?"
Qin Ying chuckled and said, "We're teaching together anyway, so there's no need to be so polite. Besides, Auntie, I have something to say in advance.
"If Dashuan learns quickly and easily, it's because he's smart and can grasp things quickly. But if he learns slowly, it's because I have no experience and don't know how to teach. Please don't blame me, Auntie."
"Hey! What are you talking about?" Aunt Chen waved her hand, "I've already said it, as long as Dashuan doesn't act like a blind man with open eyes, it'll be fine!
"I don't know what kind of character my little brat has. Thank you for taking so much trouble, Yingzi. Just teach him as much as you can!"
Qin Ying was relieved.
Someone immediately wanted to send a girl to accompany Qin Ying. "Let's not talk about literacy. It doesn't matter whether the girl can read or not.
"I just think that Yingzi's needlework is impeccable!
"I didn't talk about it in the past. Now that things are better, my Erya can find a good husband. If she can get better at sewing, maybe she can find a good family..."
She glanced at Aunt Zhao quietly and sighed, "I know, that's a skill passed down in your family, and it can't be taught to others easily.
"So I don't ask Arya to learn your true skills, as long as she's better than she is now, that's fine.
"Third Grandma didn't have anything else in her hands. Erya's mother had a pair of silver bracelets as her dowry. No matter how hard life was, she never thought of selling them. After all, they were a memory left by her mother for her.
"Now Third Grandma gives you one, look..."
"Third Grandma, this won't do!" Qin Ying hastily refused, "When I'm free, just ask Erya to come. I have to make clothes for An An anyway, so this is just a side job."
As Grandma San spoke, she couldn't help crying. The others around her also felt sad and couldn't help but shed a few tears with her.
My third grandmother’s husband’s family’s surname is Wang. The largest number of people in Tongshutun have the surnames Wang, Chen, and Feng.
Grandma Wang was not much older than Aunt Zhao. She got married early and was of a higher generation, but she had a miserable life. She gave birth to a son at the age of fifteen and lost her husband at the age of sixteen. She worked hard to raise her son, and he got married and had a granddaughter. Just when her life was getting a little stable, the drought came again.
The daughter-in-law went back to her parents' home to borrow food and did not return for three days. When her son went to pick her up, there was no news of her either. Grandma Wang asked her relatives to go and inquire, only to find out that her daughter-in-law had never been seen at her parents' home. The two people had just disappeared from the face of the earth.
Later, when rumors of cannibalism spread, people began to speculate that the couple might have been captured and eaten.
Only Grandma Wang and her ten-year-old granddaughter were left to depend on each other.
After saying this, the mother and daughter went to the field again to process the soybeans.
The bean seedlings are spread out and dried. They are rolled repeatedly with a roller, and the beans pop out of the pods.
Pick out the bean sprouts, dry the beans again, and then crush the bean sprouts again...
This process continues until all the soybeans are bagged and shipped home.
Everyone is busy, and coming to the Zhao family to help is only an occasional thing. There are also piles of corn that the mother and daughter have to clean up.
They put on straw hats, sat on small stools, and began to peel the corn husks. They threw the green husks to the rabbits to grind their teeth. If they caught insects, they put them in a broken bowl, saved them up, and took them to feed the chickens next door.
Since there were only two of them left, they had to make do with their meals and just wanted to finish peeling the corn as soon as possible.
The cleaned corn is spread out in a large basket or on the open space in the yard to dry. The corn husks are spread out in the yard to dry in the sun and are also great for burning fire and cooking.
If the sun is shining, the corn will become crispy after two days of drying and can be packed in bags.
After packing, they were immediately carried into the cellar.
There were two piles of corn more than one meter high. The mother and daughter started peeling them before the sun rose in the morning and did not stop until it was too dark to see anything. It took them three or four days to finish peeling them all.
During this period, I also carried water to irrigate the vegetable fields twice and took turns to work in the fields in the village for a day.
Inevitably, someone asked how much grain they had harvested from the three mu of land. Aunt Zhao simply said, "We were so busy working that we haven't even weighed the grain yet!"
"Oh, who cares how much it is? Anyway, we've harvested some extra, so we can eat for a few more days!"
The other villagers also said cheerfully, "Seeing you reap the benefits, we're also very motivated. Now we've all occupied our own land! We'll just have to wait for the autumn harvest before we plant the wheat."
"Now that other villages have cultivated land and the bandits have been wiped out by Lord Zhou, we can now plant crops with confidence!"
When Zhou Yu was mentioned, someone would inevitably ask, "Master Zhou has been gone for quite some time this time, hasn't he? When will he be back?"
"That's right, Master Zhou is not here, and I always feel uneasy."
"Don't be so selfish! We are not the only people under Lord Zhou's rule! Our Qin County is huge! We are very lucky to have Lord Zhou take care of so many people!"
Not to mention what others said, after hearing this, Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying could no longer suppress the longing that they had been trying so hard to suppress.
When only the mother and daughter were left in the yard cleaning the rabbit hutch, Aunt Zhao couldn't help but sigh: "I wonder when Hu Zi and An An will be able to come back? Children have such short memories. I'm really worried that An An will forget about me, their grandma, when she's gone out!"
"How is that possible!" Qin Ying said hurriedly, "Our An An is not that heartless!"
"I know!" Aunt Zhao sighed, "Our An'an must be the best child in the world, but he's been away for such a long time..."
Qin Ying's eyes were a little red, "I dream about An An all the time..."
"That's how a mother worries," Aunt Zhao consoled her, "Although Hu Zi is reckless, Lord Zhou is a considerate man and will definitely take good care of An An.
"She is in the growth stage now. If she comes back, she will be much taller and her old clothes will not fit her anymore.
"I happen to have some free time these past two days. You can take out her cotton clothes from last year and alter them so she can get some help when she gets cold."
Qin Ying quickly agreed: "Yes, I think so too." Suddenly, she paused, "Mom, is this rabbit about to give birth?"
Aunt Zhao came over to take a look and said, "That's right! Hurry up! Move the nest! These newborn babies are so delicate! Don't let the other big rabbits step on them again!"
The two carefully moved the female rabbit about to give birth to the newly built rabbit house. Fortunately, it was not the first time for them to help a female rabbit give birth, and they were already quite experienced, so everything went smoothly and they got a total of seven baby rabbits in this litter.
