Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Qin Ying smiled and nodded, took a small shovel to loosen the soil around the stone, and then moved the stone down.

Aunt Zhao and Zhao Hu collected two more loads of firewood. Seeing Qin Ying digging stones, they hurried over to ask what was going on.

An An shook his head proudly: "This stone is a treasure! It's very valuable!"

Zhao Hu quickly picked up the shovel and went over: "Sister, get out of the way, let me do it!"

Qin Ying waved her hand: "It has been dug out."

Zhao Hu asked An An again: "Bao'er, is there anything else? Uncle is very strong, uncle will dig it out!"

An An looked around and then shook his head: "No! Next time." Too many things would attract attention.

The whole family returned home with a full load.

Zhao Hu washed the stone with water and placed it in the sun to dry. Then he brought it back to the house, lifted the kang mat, and placed it on the head of the kang. "Is there a treasure in here? What kind of treasure is it?"

Qin Ying was more knowledgeable after all, and asked An An: "Is there anything like jade in here?"

"Hmmmm!" An An nodded while chewing on the pancake, "My mom is the smartest!"

Aunt Zhao gently stroked the stone and asked, "How much is such a big stone worth?"

Qin Ying shook her head. "I don't understand either."

"There are so many!" An An opened his arms and drew a big circle again, "Too many to count!"

The whole family was so happy that they didn't know what to say.

After calming down, Aunt Zhao raised the key question: "How can we exchange these stones for money? If we exchange them for money... there are so many, where can we hide them?"

Zhao Hu said without hesitation: "Let's ask Mr. Zhou for help! After we exchange the money, please help keep it temporarily. We can just take out as much as we need."

"This..." Aunt Zhao said anxiously, "Isn't this a bad idea? It's really disturbing to Mr. Zhou. Besides, how can we be so bold as to do this?"

Qin Ying suddenly smiled and said, "Mom, Huzi, there is a place outside where you can save money, called a money bank. We can deposit our money in the money bank.

"We can deposit and withdraw money at any time with the receipt. But this stone needs to be mined before it can be sold. I don't understand this..."

She sighed and spread her hands: "So, I still have to ask for help from Master Zhou."

Zhao Hu stood up and said, "I'll go over now! Mr. Zhou will be returning to the county tomorrow! This is a good opportunity!"

Aunt Zhao looked at Qin Ying again and nodded when she saw that she had no objection.

So Zhao Hu picked up the stone and ran to the next room.

An An yawned, "I'm sleepy, I want to sleep!"

Qin Ying wiped her hands and face, and asked her to drink half a bowl of water before arranging for her to go to bed.

Zhao Hu didn't leave for long, returning in about a quarter of an hour. "Master Zhou readily agreed! He didn't ask any questions and told me to go with him. If I really sold the items, he would have someone deposit the money with me," he said.

"He also said that when the time comes, I can buy whatever my family needs and then have someone send me back when I'm done."

Aunt Zhao had no better solution, so she could only advise, "Then you better be obedient and don't cause trouble for Mr. Zhou."

"When have I ever caused any trouble?" Zhao Hu was unhappy. "Master Zhou even praised me for being smart and sensible!"

Qin Ying smiled and said, "Yes, our Hu Zi is becoming more and more capable. So, after you exchange money, no matter how much, you can save it. Ask if there are any silver notes. If there are, exchange them for a few small silver notes.

"What our family lacks most is oil, salt and sugar. You can also buy some rice, cotton, cotton cloth and other things.

"We wear it in the village, so we don't want bright colors. Black, blue, or gray will do..."

Thinking of An An, he said, "Pick up some bright cloth for An An to make new clothes, and buy her some pretty hairbands too."

Zhao Hu agreed repeatedly and asked, "Do you want to exchange it for some copper coins?"

"Of course!" Qin Ying said with a smile, "Even if we have silver in our hands, we have nowhere to spend it. The purpose of exchanging some silver notes is to keep it convenient.

"Change it for some copper coins for our daily expenses.

"Also, don't forget to buy some gifts for Mr. Zhou... It's their business whether they want it or not. If we don't express our gratitude, it would be impolite of us to do so."

Zhao Hu was stunned. "What should I buy for Master Zhou? I don't know anything!"

Aunt Zhao shook her head like a rattle. "I don't know! I haven't even been to the county town!"

Seeing this, Zhao Hu quickly suggested, "Why don't we all follow Lord Zhou into the city? We can discuss buying gifts then."

"No!" Qin Ying hurriedly stopped him, "Huzi, stop talking nonsense! You can go with us, but my mother and I have to take An An with us. How can we go with Lord Zhou?

"As for going to the county town, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. When life is peaceful, we can go wherever we want, right?"

Aunt Zhao's restless heart calmed down. "Yes, your sister is right."

Zhao Hu asked in embarrassment, "How do I buy this gift?"

"Go ask someone," Qin Ying thought for a long time and gave a suggestion, "I don't understand this either. Go to a pen and ink shop, or a bookstore and ask.

"Don't ever go to an antique shop. It's too complicated and you don't understand it. You might end up buying a fake."

After everything was discussed, Zhao Hu followed Zhou Yu back to the county town the next day.

Zhang Jinzhi was out on business, so only two servants were left to look after the yard at the western neighbor's house.

This journey lasted ten days.

Fortunately, Zhao Hu had already gone on several long trips with them, so Aunt Zhao and Qin Ying didn't have to worry too much.

Ten days later, Zhao Hu returned with Zhang Jinzhi. Zhang Jinzhi was in high spirits and took the initiative to come to Zhao's house to help deliver the things Zhao Hu had bought.

When asked by villagers, Zhao Hu said that he had made a few dried rabbits at home before, and this time he took them to the city to sell them, and used the money to buy things for his family.

The villagers looked at it with envy and had higher expectations for the rabbit farm.

What made Zhang Jinzhi happy was nothing else but that a spring had indeed been dug out at the place An An had designated before, and now it had covered the entire original stream path.

Although the weather is cold now, it doesn't freeze quickly because it is running water, there is just some floating ice.

Even so, the people living along the stream happily thanked the heavens, knowing that they no longer had to cross mountains and rivers to fetch water!

While An An was gaining a large amount of merit energy, she also figured out something. She didn't dare to make it public, and only told Qin Ying quietly: "Mom, it's going to snow this winter!"

Qin Ying widened her eyes in shock and was unable to recover for a long time.

An An stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of her eyes, and asked with a smile, "Mom, are you so happy?" Why do I have a little headache? But it doesn't matter, I can bear it.

"Yes!" Qin Ying felt her nose sore and tears were about to fall. She choked and said, "An Baoer, do you mean that the drought will be completely over?"

"Hmm..." An An touched his chin, "Well... there won't be much snow this winter, so it probably won't help much." Ouch, my headache is a bit severe.

Qin Ying was immediately disappointed again and hurriedly asked, "What about next year? Will it rain next year? Will the drought end next year?"
