Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Chapter 227 There is a difference

Although Qin Ying felt a little embarrassed, she still answered truthfully: "No one is urging me. Wen Ruo said that things like this should be left to fate.

"Even if we don't have a baby, it's good for us to take care of An An."

Aunt Zhao was a little worried: "But, my son-in-law is a marquis after all, and such a large marquisate..."

"Even if he doesn't have any brothers, he still has a cousin." Qin Ying laughed softly. "If that really comes to the point, we can just adopt a child."

Aunt Zhao sighed, and for fear of burdening Qin Ying, she said no more.

Qin Ying took her arm and comforted her, "Mom, don't worry about these things. When we were in the countryside, we only worried about having enough food and clothes.

“I always envy the rich and powerful who have no worries about food and clothing.

"Actually, even wealthy families have their own worries. For the Marquis' Mansion, it's actually something others are happy to see that our offspring have had a hard time."

Aunt Zhao's heart skipped a beat and her face turned pale. "What...what do you mean?"

Qin Ying whispered something in her ear and then added, "Don't worry, we won't be staying in the capital for long anyway. If we don't get involved in the gossip in the capital, nothing will happen."

Aunt Zhao sighed, "Alas, my brain is not enough, don't tell me about these things in the future.

"You said that these people in Beijing have evil ideas all the time, and their minds are denser than honeycombs. If you are not careful and get tricked by them, it will be bad."

Qin Ying smiled faintly: "Don't worry, mother, it's okay. However, our Huzi is now successful, and there may be someone to propose marriage to him, so you must not agree easily.

"Don't be offended, but those who are here now are not coming for Hu Zi. They all have other purposes."

"How could I not know this?" Aunt Zhao patted her hand. "Don't worry, mother knows what's going on. Besides, Huzi is still young. Let him try his luck. Once he can really start his own household, we can talk about marriage.

"As a man, it's okay if he gets married a few years later."

Qin Ying warned again, "Don't even think about finding him a wife back home. It's not that I look down on girls from the mountains, but Hu Zi has been out there for a long time, and his vision and experience are beyond the reach of girls from the mountains.

"If two people can't talk to each other, their lives won't be harmonious."

Aunt Zhao couldn't help but laugh. "I know! When I'm looking for a wife for Huzi, I have to let you, his sister and brother-in-law, check it out. If I can't trust anyone else, who else can I trust more than you?"

In this way, Aunt Zhao settled down on the farm.

Qin Ying and An An went to the human market again, bought a few needed people, and arranged for them to prune the apricot forest, mainly pruning branches and weeding.

In addition, Zhou Yu was asked to help hire someone to draw up the blueprints. Preliminary construction would be carried out according to the blueprints in the second half of the year, and the grafting work would be started at the turn of summer and autumn.

As things were arranged one after another, it was soon early March, and peach, pear and apple blossoms were in full bloom.

Old Master Zhou was the first to notice the difference. One day, he came back from outside with a few flowers. He took the initiative to find Qin Ying and said to her, "I saw the peach and pear blossoms outside, why are they not as good as those in our fields?"

Qin Ying smiled and said, "Did you see that?"

"Well," Mr. Zhou fiddled with the branches in his hand, "Look, there's no difference in color or shape, but the size of the flowers is quite different.

"Besides, I see that the flowers in our fields, which you have carefully pruned, are not so densely bloomed.

"Besides, the whole tree isn't very tall."

Qin Ying smiled and explained, "Grandfather, the fruit trees in our field are all specially cultivated. When the plants grow to a certain height, they will be topped, which means the branches at the top are pruned off.

"This way the tree can grow stronger, and the branches will be stronger and bear more weight, so that it can bear more fruit in the future without being unable to bear the weight.

"Prune away the weak branches, leaving only the stronger ones, which will produce better flowers and fruits.

"As for the flowers on a branch, since we planted so few, we could take care of them all. We carefully screened them, thinned out those that were too dense, and picked off the not-so-good or damaged flowers in advance.

"So, even though they are both peach and pear blossoms, our flowers are bigger than those that are not taken care of or not taken care of as carefully."

Mr. Zhou nodded repeatedly. "I heard you even sold the trimmed branches? You really do know how to make money, girl."

Qin Ying said embarrassedly, "Actually, the branches we pruned off were all good. It would be a shame to throw them away. The larger branches have been dried. They will be great to use in the kitchen when we make smoked meat or something like that."

Mr. Zhou nodded again: "Well, very good, your brain is very active! Oh, by the way, I heard from An An that you are also planning to keep bees?"

Qin Ying readily admitted, "Now is the flowering season. It's good to store some honey at this time. Whether you want to drink it with water or make snacks in the future, it's great."

Mr. Zhou sighed, "I'm no longer capable of this old man. My brain can't keep up with you young people!"

"Grandfather is very experienced," Qin Ying said hurriedly, "With you in charge, we younger generations dare to do things freely."

Mr. Zhou waved his hand, "Alright, go ahead and do your work. If you really encounter any difficulties, don't force yourself to do it. If you're embarrassed to tell me, tell Wen Ruo..."

"Forget it. Wen Ruo is so busy right now that it would be a waste of time to look for him. It's better to just tell me directly."

Qin Ying quickly agreed.

Aunt Zhao came back from outside, carrying a hoe and a basket full of wild vegetables. She greeted Mr. Zhou with a smile and asked, "Grandpa, have you heard of Qingtuan?"

"I've heard of it," Old Master Zhou said with interest, "My in-laws don't know that Wen Ruo's grandmother is from the south, and people there know how to eat better.

"In the past, she would prepare Qingtuan every spring. Since she passed away, I haven't tasted it for many years."

Aunt Zhao raised the basket in her hand and said, "I picked a lot of fresh mugwort and asked Yingzi to cook it for us tonight. She is very skillful and knows how to make it."

Turning around, he said to Qin Ying, "The rape flowers over there are starting to bloom. When can we go take a look?"

"It'll probably take a day or two," Qin Ying said as she took the basket. "The beekeeper will be here tomorrow."

Aunt Zhao cried out, "Ouch!" "There are flowers everywhere. We won't have enough bees if we don't have enough bees!"

Mr. Zhou walked in with his hands behind his back. "If we don't get enough bees, Wenruo will be fined and not be allowed to eat sweets for a year!"

Aunt Zhao was stunned for a moment, blinked her eyes, and quietly asked Qin Ying: "Does your son-in-law like sweet food?"

Qin Ying also replied quietly: "Yes, if it tastes sweet and sour, I will love it even more."

Aunt Zhao said hurriedly, "Then I have to save some honey for my son-in-law. He can take it with him wherever he goes. It never spoils anyway."
