Chapter 87 We Have a Godfather

This batch of strawberries was originally planned to be picked and sold in the county tomorrow, and the carriage was ready.

The villagers were envious as they watched basket after basket of strawberries being picked up by the officials. How much would they cost?

"As far as I know, these strawberries cost 35 cents per catty. They were weighed just now and weighed 82 catties. The total is..."

Zou Guangquan was counting money, and Fu Jiujiu saw that his parents did not respond.

Can't you ask for this money?
"No money, just give it to uncle to eat."

The county magistrate had just talked about brothers with his father, so she had the audacity to call him uncle.

This call of uncle made Zou Guangquan feel comfortable all over. He looked at the cute little baby and planned to tease her for a while, "You give all these to uncle to eat? Then your family will suffer a loss and make a lot of money. Without money you have no meat to eat.”

Fu Jiujiu shook his head, how could he be at a loss?

With such a small amount of money, he can build a good relationship with the county magistrate, and, who knows, he may be able to get promoted with his own strawberries.

It'll be okay in the future. Finally, if something happens, can you help me for Strawberry's sake?
In this way, there is no loss at all, and a huge profit is made.

Zhou couldn't calculate how much it would cost, but he knew it was a lot of money, so it was a bit of a pity to just give it to him for free.

But she had been stared at just now, so she didn't dare to speak anymore and could only think about it in her heart.

Now that the words have been spoken, Fu Baiwan and Tian Guihua can only say, "Sir, we are all raised by ourselves. It is rare that the emperor likes to eat. This is our family's blessing. How can we ask for money?"

Fu Wanwan said these words so openly that Zou Guangquan was quite surprised. It was commendable that a common man could still have such an awareness.

"No, the money still has to be collected. How can I take the people's things for nothing?"

"I'm not asking for it, I'm giving it to my uncle."

Zou Guangquan would not really be reluctant to give up the money in order to get promoted, but the Fu family insisted not to take it, and the people were watching, so he still didn't want to live up to his words.

Of course, he probably understood what the Fu family was thinking.

"Brother Fu, I saw this girl's inexplicable kiss last time. I really like her so much. I think I only have two little boys. My wife is not in good health. No matter how difficult it is to have children, why don't I accept the child as my goddaughter? It will also save the hearts of my children."

"Brother Fu, what do you think?"

Fu Baiwan is not stupid. This is a great thing that no one else can hope for.

The couple immediately dragged Fu Jiujiu forward and asked her to kowtow.

"Jiujiu, be good and call me godfather."

Fu Jiujiu originally wanted to have a good relationship with the county magistrate, but something happened. Someone was on top. Now it's better, and he can get twice the result with half the effort.

The godfather went one step further.

The little girl knelt on the ground neatly, kowtowed her head, and then shouted in a sweet voice: "Godfather."

Zou Guanquan's heart was so cute that he quickly helped the person up and held him in his arms, which was extremely rare.

I really want to take it home to show my wife and these two brats.

From now on, he will also have a daughter.

Moreover, he felt that the theory of lucky stars might not be groundless.

This strawberry might be able to help him rise to the top.

When the Holy Emperor asked about it, he said that the strawberries were grown by his goddaughter Zou Guangquan, which made his reputation as the magistrate of Qinghe County even greater.

It was just a last-minute idea, and he didn't prepare any gifts, so he gave the banknote to Xiao Jiujiu.

It could be a face-to-face gift, a correction fee, or strawberry money. Anyway, others can't fault it.

"Jiujiu, after a while, my godfather will pick you up to play at home."

Fu Jiujiu nodded, "Okay, let's meet my godmother."

"Oh, you still know your godmother!" Although Zou Guangquan believed that his goddaughter was taking advantage of Fu Jiujiu, his love for her was not fake. "Your godmother must like you too."

Who doesn’t like a cute little girl with a sweet mouth?
Not long after the strawberries were put out, Zou Guangquan had to quickly send someone to the magistrate, and then send them to the palace one by one. He didn't dare to delay.

Before leaving, he hugged Xiaotuanzi again and said a lot of compliments to her.

Song Kangfa came late because of something. When he came back, Zou Guangquan was already at the door.

He shamelessly went to say hello, but Zou Guangquan ignored him.

He was unwilling to give in and introduced himself as the village chief.

"Yeah." Zou Guangquan said just one word.

Then, Song Kangfa was pushed away by the government officials, and the county magistrate came as close as he could.

"Strawberries are so delicious. When did your family get this treasure? Why didn't you know about it?"

Fu Baiwan just smiled, he was so happy today, but all the red strawberries were picked, and it would take a few days for the rest to ripen.

Song Kangfa looked confused, what strawberry?
"Jiujiu is such a lucky girl. She has become the goddaughter of the county magistrate. From now on, the county magistrate will make the final decision on marriages. It will definitely be a mistake."

"Haha, it's still far, far away."

Tian Guihua also smiled from ear to ear, hugged her little girl and kissed her again and again.

In the past, Song Kangfa was the focus of the crowd, but now no one paid attention to him, and they were all rushing to flatter Fu Baiwan.

He felt that if this continued, the village chief might fall on Fu Baiwan.

……

"Mom, how much does the county magistrate pay to my little girl?"

After they left, Zhou couldn't wait to inquire.

"It was more or less given by the county magistrate. When I go to someone else's house later, I have to bring gifts. I can't go empty-handed. It seems like we are taking advantage."

Tian Guihua made up her mind to keep the 50-tael banknote for her daughter, so she did not disclose the amount.

Fu Baiwan nodded in agreement, she already recognized her as her goddaughter, and it was inevitable to visit her during the holidays.

Although it's a high-level climb, it shouldn't make people feel like they don't understand the rules at home.

"Then...then isn't there some strawberry money?" Zhou didn't figure out how much it was after calculating for a long time, "It's a lot."

"Don't you want the strawberry money?" Tian Guihua glared.

Originally, if she didn't come over, there were some things that Tian Guihua didn't plan to say, "Old man, you can say whatever you want at home, but you still have to be careful when there are outsiders."

"What are you talking about? Mother." Zhou asked in confusion.

Tian Guihua sighed, "The tweets are about Lucky Star, is that nonsense?"

"But……"

"Also, when the elders are talking, as a junior, don't interrupt, otherwise people will think that our family has no rules. Besides, I'm telling you, just listen."

Zhou pursed her lips, feeling like she was being targeted again.

"Stop being stuck here, go back to the house and rest."

Tian Guihua glanced at her, and it was really annoying to see her too much.

"My little girl, you are really a lucky star. This time your parents really show their faces."

When no one was around, Fu Baiwan hugged his little girl tightly and kissed her again and again.
