Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Chapter 425 Immortality Card

The sky was gray, filled with rain and fog, and what I could smell in my nose was earth mixed with various smells, and I could smell a faint smell of decay.

In such a dark and gray sky, the joyful laughter from Xiao Fubao's heart soothed Xu Ning's worry and depression.

Xu Ning followed the sound and said with a smile: "Little Fubao, your Uncle Jia is busy. Come down and Mom will take you to play with the children."

"Mommy, Uncle Jia is throwing it high! He is taller than daddy!" Xiao Fubao shared her happiness with her dearest mother without any worries.

Xu Ning nodded with a smile, took the little Fubao from Jia Da's arms, whose cheeks were red with laughter, pointed to the kitchen and said, "I don't know how many days it will take you to come back after you go out, so go out with a jar of meat sauce."

"Thank you ma'am."

Jia Da grinned happily. He had not lived in the Hou Mansion for a long time, but he already regarded this place as his home.

Some people are thinking about whether he is hungry, whether he is cold, whether he will have delicious food when he comes back, whether he can have enough to eat when he goes out... What is this other than home?

Little Fubao lay in Xu Ning's arms and shouted loudly to Jia: "Jia Da, come back quickly! Throw it high!"

"Miss, I'll be back when I'm done with my business!"

Jia Da showed his head from the kitchen and responded loudly.

Xu Ning was amused by these two living treasures. He turned around and saw Qiu Yun with a sad face, and suppressed his smile.

She held her fat girl in her arms and walked quickly: "Qiuyun, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with you?"

Qiu Yun did not dare to confirm and said: "The child, it seems, kicked me."

"Pfft-"

Xu Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "Looking at your expression, I thought you were uncomfortable. It's normal for a child to kick you. He may have heard little Fubao's voice and he also wanted to play with little Fubao."

When Xiao Fubao heard Xu Ning mention her, she turned to look at Qiu Yun and suddenly pointed at her belly and said, "Aunt Qiu Yun, sister!"

"younger sister?"

Xu Ning was startled. She had quietly asked the doctor before, and the doctor told her that Qiu Yun was pregnant with a boy.

Xiao Fubao said again: "Brother!"

Xu Ning tapped the fat girl's nose and said, "You little guy, is the baby in your Aunt Qiuyun's belly a sister or a brother?"

"younger sister!"

Xiao Fubao answered decisively.

Qiuyun held her highly bulging belly, her eyes full of motherly glory: "Whether she is a sister or a brother, I love them all."

She has been married to Zhou Changxing for many years and encountered many bad things. Fortunately, she met Mr. Hou and his wife and they were able to gain freedom. Now their life is much better and their children are here. She feels that it is quite good. .

Her child would be reincarnated at a time when she and Zhou Changxing had regained their freedom and had saved up some family property. She did not dare to hope that the child would be rich and powerful, at least it would make her have no worries about food and clothing, and be upright. Be a human being.

Xiao Fubao shouted again: "Brother!"

Xu Ning couldn't help but said: "Qiuyun, Xiao Fubao just said it casually, don't take it to heart."

Qiuyun smiled and nodded.

She does not favor boys over girls, she just wants her children to be born safely.

Xu Ningsheng was afraid that Qiuyun was worried about Zhou Changxing, so he said a few words to her: "The Marquis has led your Zhou Changxing to the flood discharge area. The people don't trust the government officials very much, only the Marquis. Before leaving, the Marquis changed Three large boxes of copper plates.”

Qiu Yun couldn't help but asked curiously: "Madam, why did the Marquis replace so many copper coins? Is it possible that he wants to buy chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep from the common people again?"

The more Xu Ning talked about it, the more she admired her pillow: "Well, the common people bring chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep. If one person makes trouble, both people and money will be lost. In order to save more victims, the Marquis not only wants to buy chickens, ducks, pork, cattle and sheep from them For food, we have to pay them to move these things to safety as quickly as possible.”

Qiu Yun looked in admiration: "As expected of Mr. Hou! Mr. Hou is the most intelligent man in the world who has the ability to solve difficult problems."

Xu Ning likes to hear others praise her as a husband, and never forgets to affirm Zhou Changxing's role: "Your family Zhou Changxing is not bad. He has been trained by working hard with the Marquis for so long. If there is a chance in the future, the Marquis may want to recruit Zhou Changxing When you go out on assignment, you have to discuss it carefully and don't want to cause discord between your husband and wife."

When Qiu Yun heard Xu Ning praising Zhou Changxing, her heart felt as sweet as honey: "Madam, I know."

She knew that Mr. Hou and Mrs. Hou really did not treat the couple as slaves. They gave them the opportunity to regain their freedom and gave them the resources they needed most.

The hot topics of Xu Ning and Qiu Yun, Huo Yunchao and Zhou Changxing, were inspecting the third flood outlet. In less than a stick of incense, Jia Er rode up and said, "Master Hou!"

Huo Yunchao asked with concern: "Jia Er, the second flood outlet exploded? How is the situation?"

Jia Er knows everything and talks about everything.

Huo Yunchao pointed to the location of the flood outlet that he and the professionals brought by the Ministry of Industry were determined, and asked Jia Er: "How much black powder material is left? Is it enough?"

Jia Er nodded: "Enough. But it's only enough to blow up this one place. If there are two or three more places, we can only deal with them in stupid ways."

The so-called "clumsy way to deal with it" is to hire people to pile sandbags or carry rocks to block the breach.

Huo Yunchao closed his eyes. He took out the notebook he carried with him, pointed to the next two flood outlets, and said decisively: "Jia Er, go and recruit people. The more the better, ten cents per person! If the sacks are exhausted, Maybe buy it!”

Jia Er was ordered to leave. Huo Yunchao asked Zhou Changxing to guard the flood outlet. He led other people to the village under the jurisdiction of the flood discharge area. As soon as he entered the village, he saw several gray-haired old men: "Uncles, you guys What are you doing here?"

"Greetings to the Marquis!" The white-haired old man at the head knelt down tremblingly.

Huo Yunchao didn't have time to talk to them about what they had and didn't have, so he directly explained his purpose: "I will give you two choices, either sell the poultry and livestock you can take away to me, and I will pay you to move them. Or you can Die with your family."

The white-haired old man said without hesitation: "The villain has ordered the whole village to gather the poultry and livestock and get on the road immediately."

Huo Yunchao was a little surprised: "Oh? Do you mean to wait here specifically for me to buy it?"

He thought that these white-haired old men were going to "rely on their old people and sell them off" and add burden to his disaster relief work.

The leader, the white-haired old man, asked for the longevity tablet he enshrined at home: "If you return to the Marquis, I believe in the Marquis!"

Huo Yunchao was deeply shocked when he saw the longevity tablet with his name written on it for the first time: "Okay, since you can trust me, then don't waste any more time and drag your family with you and go with me. . I promise you that once the floods are over, I will help you rebuild your homes!"

What surprised him even more was that this longevity tablet was not newly made. The marks on it were obviously from some time ago.

The white-haired old man thanked me again: "Master Marquis's great kindness, I will never forget it even if I go to the ground!"

Huo Yunchao waved his hand nonchalantly: "There are still three villages in the flood discharge area. I have to continue the mobilization work. You will follow the arrangements of the government officials."

The white-haired old man and others responded in unison.
