Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Chapter 228 1 Family

Spring is fleeting, and it is early summer in the blink of an eye.

Although the wheat on Qin Ying's farm was not cultivated under her supervision, it grew better than that of other farms after she took over. It was even more obvious after filling with pulp, as the wheat ears were obviously longer than those of other farms.

There were small fruits hanging on the branches of the fruit trees. Old Mr. Zhou went to see them three times a day, and the curve of his mouth could not be suppressed.

Zhou Yu could finally breathe a sigh of relief and rest for ten days.

Mrs. Zhou Er had already moved in with her daughter, built a small courtyard next door, and brought her two nieces over as well.

Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh to Qin Ying, "The Marquis' Mansion is so deserted every day. When my uncles, cousins, and I return home from court, we always feel that the house is so empty."

Qin Ying smiled and said, "This is the disadvantage of a house being too big."

"No," Zhou Yu sighed, "When you and An An are not here, I feel bored there.

"Grandfather and my second aunt moved here with my younger sisters. When we go home, there's no one to even ask about our well-being..."

Qin Ying was also very helpless: "There are too many things to do here. Look, I can't even take care of the shop in the city.

“We can only wait until after the summer harvest to check the accounts.

"Everything is going well for you? His Majesty didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

"No," Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, "I have already explained to His Majesty that I want to take you with me to various places to promote new grain varieties in the future.

"Although the seeds brought back from Black Mountain have impressed the entire court, out of caution, Your Majesty has decided to wait until this season's grain is harvested before making a final decision."

Qin Ying nodded, "I understand. Don't worry, growing crops isn't something you can see results in the short term. We have to let everyone see it for themselves."

She took Zhou Yu for a walk.

Zhou Yu stepped on the wide and smooth road and said, "The last time I came here, the road hadn't been repaired yet..."

"Things have to be arranged one by one," Qin Ying said with a smile, "Building roads is necessary, otherwise transporting food in the future will be a hassle.

“Sand and gravel are hard to find, so we use materials nearby. Most roads are compacted earth and need constant repairs.

“Especially after rain and snow, more efforts are needed.

"That's why I'm also very distressed. If there was a way to build a sturdy and durable road, it would be great if we didn't have to repair it for several years."

Zhou Yu thought about it seriously and said, "There's no way to solve it now, but maybe there will be a way to solve it in a few years?

“Perhaps in the future it will become easier to mine sand and gravel, or some new material for road construction will be discovered.

"I believe that success depends on human effort. As long as we dare to think and act, we will definitely be able to find a way to solve the problem."

Qin Ying's mood brightened. "You're right. I never thought I could grow high-yield crops and vegetables before."

Then he lowered his voice again: "I dare not even think that God would send such a good An An to me."

Zhou Yu gently held her hand, "Because you are worth it!"

Qin Ying lowered her eyebrows and chuckled.

Zhou Yu took out a bamboo hat and put it on her head. "Even if you're not afraid of getting sunburned, you still have to be careful. The sun is getting stronger and stronger. What if you get sunburned?"

"Well, I'm paying attention," Qin Ying laughed again, "Second Aunt would call us together every night and supervise us until we finish our skin care before letting us go to bed.

"The creams we use on our hands and faces, and the bath beans we use for our baths are all personally selected by Second Aunt. She definitely doesn't let us slack off."

In fact, Mrs. Zhou Er herself is a lazy person, but she has many people around her who need her help.

She particularly loves these younger generations, so naturally she has to consider them in everything.

Qin Ying glanced at Zhou Yu, pursed her lips and smiled, "Have you ever noticed the secret of the soup I send you every day?"

Zhou Yu was stunned and didn't react. The main reason was that when they didn't have time to go home for dinner, the mansion would send someone to deliver food.

But Mrs. Zhou is at the farm, so isn’t the meal prepared by the kitchen in the mansion?

Qin Ying smiled with her brows curved, covering her lips. "The menu was prepared in advance by Second Aunt and sent back. This menu was finalized after Second Aunt consulted with the doctors.

"It's all for your nourishment. Auntie said you work hard every day, so we have to be very careful with your meals.

"Oh, and there are guards assigned by Auntie among the servants who will deliver your meals. We're afraid someone might tamper with your food."

Zhou Yu's eyelashes trembled, and his heart trembled too. His aunt was not his biological mother, but she gave him the care and love of a biological mother.

Qin Ying sighed deliberately: "I was thinking of contributing, but my aunt said I'm very busy here and won't let me be distracted by such trivial matters."

"Aunt is right," Zhou Yu patted her hands, "Just focus on doing what you want to do.

"Even if my aunt and the others go to the frontier in the future, you don't have to be distracted by such things.

"Otherwise, why do we keep so many people around us?

"Good steel must be used for blades, otherwise it would be a waste of natural resources."

Qin Ying burst out laughing.

The atmosphere between the couple is very harmonious.

The next day, Qin Ying ordered people to send part of the harvested honey to the Marquis' Mansion, distribute part to Mrs. Zhou Er and others, and send most of it to the store for storage. She also kept a few cans for herself.

When it rains and it is inconvenient to go out, he and the Zhou sisters research new snacks.

One day, Mr. Zhou came back from outside and told a strange story: "Although the wind blows every ten miles, it doesn't seem to be so obvious in previous years.

"We have had good weather this year, the crops are growing well, and there are few insect pests.

"But it's different in the eastern suburbs of the capital. Although it's pretty good compared to other places, it's still a far cry from where we are."

Qin Ying's heart moved, and she secretly glanced at An An. The little guy was eating snacks in a very polite manner.

As she grew older, An An was still lively, but when she was quiet, she had the elegant and graceful demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

Although An An remained calm, she was also somewhat alert.

Alas, the greater her ability, the wider her influence, and this is still the effect of restraint.

Mrs. Zhou Er said with a smile, "What's so strange about this? The climate in western Beijing is much stronger than in eastern Beijing.

"Why else wouldn't Jingdong have hot springs? This is what they call a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery.

"Now that our Yingniang and An'an, as well as our in-laws, have come, they have brought us good fortune.

"After all, it's Wen Ruo who is so lucky. Otherwise, how could he have married a daughter as smart and capable as Ying Niang, and had a daughter as clever as An An?"

Mr. Zhou stroked his beard and laughed, "That's right!"

"One more thing!" Zhou Wen ran over to give Old Man Zhou a shoulder rub. "Grandfather is an open-minded and broad-minded person. If it were someone so old-fashioned, I don't know how my eldest brother would have gone through so many hurdles to marry my eldest sister-in-law!"

Aunt Zhao also echoed: "That's right, it's rare to see someone like this old man, who is such a high-ranking official, and yet can put aside his airs and mingle with country folk like us!"

The two of them sang in unison, making the old man very happy.
