Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Zhou Yu didn't expect that an old country man could say such words, and he couldn't help but stand up and bow deeply to him.

Uncle Chen Jiu was so frightened that he stood up quickly, saying, "No, no! Sir, this is not allowed!"

Zhou Yu helped him sit down and said sincerely, "It's amazing that Jiu Ye can think of me like this."

Uncle Chen Jiu smiled sheepishly: "Actually, I have my own selfish motives. Think about it, I can't even read a single word, how can I understand any profound principles!

"It's just that something happened before that forced me to think more..."

He told Zhou Yu about his earlier scolding of the villagers, and then said with emotion: "If one village is like this, what about the entire Qin County!

"Some things have to be nipped in the bud. Otherwise, once they become a major issue, not only will they be difficult to quell, but the impact will also be too severe."

After a pause, he continued, "It is a good thing that Your Excellency encourages villagers to plant trees. Since this matter has spread, the enthusiasm of villagers to plant trees has indeed increased a lot.

"But no matter what, the same thing still applies: this is our own business. How can I expect you to pay me for doing work for me?

"You respect us, but we cannot take advantage of you."

Having said that, Zhou Yu could no longer insist and stood up and bowed again, "Thank you very much, Master Jiu!"

Uncle Chen Jiu felt that he had accomplished something important and was in a good mood. Seeing that there was still a pile of documents on Zhou Yu's kang table, he stood up and said goodbye: "I have disturbed you for so long, I will go back now."

After walking a few steps, he turned back and added sheepishly, "Sir, what I just said only represents Tongshu Village. I can't control other villages!"

Zhou Yu couldn't help but smile, "I know. I'm very happy that your village has this kind of heart."

Uncle Chen Jiu went out happily. Zhou Yu saw him off to the gate and only turned back after seeing him go far away.

Before he even entered the house, he heard a series of "clucking" sounds. Zhang Jinzhi was just adding water to the chicken coop. He looked up and immediately laughed out loud: "Eggs laid! Eggs laid!"

He turned around and reported the good news to Zhou Yu: "Sir! Since you came back, there have been so many good things! This hen actually laid an egg?"

"Really?" An An's baby voice came from the gate of the yard, followed by someone running closer.

Zhang Jinzhi walked into the chicken coop, reached into the nest, took the still warm eggs in his hand, and held them up to show Zhou Yu and An An.

An An clapped her hands in delight. Hehe, this was a good thing she had done! Otherwise, the hen would have to wait another month or two before laying eggs!

Zhou Yu stuffed the eggs into An An's hands and said, "Take them home and ask your mother to cook them for you. You have made a great contribution to the growth of these two chickens!"

"Yes, yes!" Zhang Jinzhi happily agreed, "Little An'an, it's really you who raised them well! During the time you were away, we still followed your method of catching insects and feeding the chickens, otherwise how could these two chickens grow so well!"

An An proudly puffed out her chest and smiled. "Although I know that this is all my credit, it makes me very happy to hear you say this!"

Zhou Yu pulled her aside and asked, "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Mom said she was worried that I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I slept too much," An An shook her little head. "Mom washed my hair, it smells so good!"

Zhou Yu couldn't help feeling a little guilty. This time, there were no adult women in the team. It was natural that a group of men couldn't take care of a young child very carefully.

But An An was a very well-behaved child. She never cried or made a fuss, and she never complained even if she missed mealtime or ate less.

On the contrary, with her around, they can get more supplies from time to time...

Zhou Yu bent down and picked up An An, saying sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work!"

"Uncle Zhou is the one who works the hardest!" An An hugged Zhou Yu's neck and rubbed her little head against his.

During this period, Zhou Yu could only sleep for a little over two hours a day, and sometimes he had to stay up all night.

In addition to handling well-drilling matters, he also had to help resolve various local issues. He also needed to review and approve official documents that no one else in the county could handle.

If it weren't for her secret care, the handsome uncle would have become as thin as a stick by now!

Alas, he was not attractive to my mother in the first place. Now that he has become thinner and unrecognizable, his biggest advantage is gone, making him even less attractive!

The two of them stayed together for a while. An An knew that Zhou Yu was busy with official business, so she struggled to get up and went to see the rabbits with Zhang Jinzhi again.

Zhou Yu had a lot of documents piled up, and he had other things to do later, so he had to go in and continue reviewing the documents.

An An grinned, "Grandpa Zhang, you've raised a great rabbit!"

"Hey!" Zhang Jinzhi touched her head and said with a smile, "You are the biggest contributor! If you hadn't found the rabbits in the mountains, how could we raise rabbits?

"The second hero is your mother and your grandmother. They are both experts in raising rabbits! If it weren't for them, there wouldn't be so many rabbits in this yard!"

An An is very happy. Everything will be even better after she comes back!

After watching the rabbit for a while, someone called from next door. An An said goodbye to Zhang Jinzhi and shouted into the house, "Uncle Zhou, I'm leaving!"

Then he ran back to the next yard with his short legs.

Seeing the eggs in her hand, Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying were reluctant to blame her. They just asked Zhao Hu to take two bowls of the prepared dishes to the next door.

The next morning, Zhao Hu and Aunt Zhao began to slaughter and remove the rabbits.

The bloody smell penetrated into the next room.

Zhou Yu and Xu Xia came back from morning exercise outside. When they smelled the scent, they couldn't help but go to Zhao's house.

The gate to the courtyard was open, and the two of them saw the scene inside at a glance.

Aunt Zhao hurriedly stood up to greet them when they arrived, adding, "We're killing a rabbit today. Master Zhou told us not to cook at noon. We'll stew it and bring it to you."

Zhao Hu also grinned, "My sister's cooking skills are really good!"

Zhou Yu hurriedly said, "We also have rabbits over there, and we were planning to kill two..."

"This is a big rabbit," Aunt Zhao said with a smile, "It has more meat than the little rabbit! Please don't refuse. This time Hu Zi brought An An with him to go out on business with you, which must have caused you a lot of trouble.

"We are a poor family and don't have anything to offer. If you don't accept it, you are looking down on us!"

Zhou Yu had no choice but to agree.

Because everyone felt uncomfortable if he stayed, he just said a few words and then went back.

When it came time to stew the food, another problem arose. A rabbit with all the vegetables and meat would make up a large pot, but the Zhao family only had one large pot.

Zhao Hu scratched his head and said, "I'll go ask Mr. Zhang, or else my sister will just stew it at their place."

"That's fine," Aunt Zhao nudged Qin Ying, "We'll prepare all the ingredients, and it'll only cost them a little firewood."

An An kept nodding "yes, yes, yes" on the side. The minority obeyed the majority, so Qin Ying had to agree.
