Joe's Farming

That night, the first snow fell since the beginning of winter. It snowed all night and a thick layer of snow formed on the ground.

Qiao Yu is from the south. When he woke up, he saw a vast expanse of white outside, with the snow as thick as his ankles.

Qiao Yu didn’t think about how the snack bar would open if Lin Da couldn’t come today.

Instead, he excitedly ran and rolled in the snow.

Gu Feng quickly picked the man up, shook off the snow on his body, and said worriedly: "What if you catch a cold? Put on some clothes."

Then she put on him the scarf and the gloves that Bai Lan made of rabbit skin.

Qiao Yu smiled and asked Gu Feng to put it on him. He didn't feel cold at all in the snow.

When the children saw how happy their little dad was, they had originally planned to run away with him, but when they saw what was happening, they immediately stood obediently under the eaves with their hands tucked into their sleeves.

Qiao Yu glanced at the mountain road covered with heavy snow.

"Oh no! I haven't checked to see if my two employees are frozen."

As Qiao Yu spoke, he walked towards the old house, taking one step forward and one step back.

Su Qing and Da Zhuang were having breakfast. When they saw Qiao Yu coming, they stood up embarrassedly.

Su Qing said, "Boss, it snowed heavily today, and we thought the oxcart couldn't get in, so we started to eat breakfast."

Qiao Yu waved her hand: "Eat your food. I came here just to ask if you were cold at night? Did you sleep well?"

Da Zhuang and Su Qing quickly shook their heads.

"It's not cold. The bed is warm."

"Boss, I have three quilts, so I'm not cold."

The room that Grandpa and Qiao Xing live in is the room that Qiao Yu and Gu Feng lived in before. When it was renovated, a brick bed was built on it, so they are not afraid of the cold.

But Dazhuang and Su Qing's rooms just have ordinary wooden windows. Qiao Yu has never experienced such a cold winter, and there are no electric blankets or anything, so she was worried.

Hearing them say this, I felt relieved.

"Okay! After we finish eating, let's go sweep the snow together. This road can't be blocked forever."

Da Zhuang said quickly: "Okay!"

In fact, he felt quite regretful after parting with Xiaobai yesterday. Xiaobai didn't say anything to him, and Xiaobai already had a husband. Even though he was a scumbag, it was not appropriate for him to do this.

What if my husband gives me trouble when I get home?

So when I heard that we would have to sweep the snow soon, I became very energetic. After I was done, I would go see Xiaobai. I wondered if such heavy snow had any impact on his family.

As soon as Qiao Yu left the old house, Wen Ge'er came over.

"Brother Qiao, the snow is too thick. How can we open the store today?"

Qiao Yu said optimistically, "It's okay. Look, the sun is out. It won't be long before the snow melts. We'll have to sweep the snow together. Do you want to join us?"

Wen Ge'er nodded: "Okay, I'll call Wang Jie and my mother-in-law."

"By the way. Is it easy to buy food these days? If not, you just hold on for two more days and we'll have a holiday."

Qiao Yu had never thought about the problem of roads being blocked by heavy snow before.

The only consideration is to give everyone a long vacation.

"The number of vegetables in the store has decreased, and there are not many people coming to buy sweet potato noodles now. The previous harvest can last for a while."

Qiao Yu nodded.

"Then you can take care of the arrangements. Sell all the sweet potato noodles and then take a break."

"Okay. There's accommodation there anyway, so Wang Jie and I can stay there first. They can come over later."

In this way, as long as the snow is not too heavy, everyone can arrive in the afternoon.

"How long do you think it will take to sell out?"

Wen Ge'er thought for a moment and said, "About seven days."

“How about this, you move in today, put up a notice outside, and we’ll give out benefits to our guests at the end of the year.

Buy one get one free. Try to come back within three days if they sell out.

The snow on this road is too slippery, and I might fall."

"Okay, I see."

After breakfast, Qiao Yu distributed tools to everyone, including a bamboo broom, a dustpan, and a shovel.

A group of people went to sweep the snow in a vigorous and high-spirited manner.

Soon, Wang Jie's family came out and everyone swept together.

In fact, this thickness of snow would melt in an afternoon, but since it was Qiao Yu who suggested it, everyone was happy to help.

When the snow was almost cleared, Qiao Yu raised her arms and called out, "Kids, do you want to have a snowball fight?"

The three children quickly shouted: "Yes!"

Qiao Yu pulled Gu Feng over.

"Let's play rock-paper-scissors to choose someone."

Gu Feng did as he was told.

Qiao Yu wins every time.

Qiao Yu chose Da Zhuang, Qiao Xing, Gu Xiaoxue and Hong Xiu.

The remaining people are in the same team with Gu Feng.

I have to admit, Qiao Yu is very scheming.

The strongest fighters on the other side are definitely the two brothers of the Gu family, but they are both timid.

Gu Xiaoyan said unhappily, "Why was I chosen by Daddy?"

Gu Feng took the child aside and hid: "Daddy chose you and you still dislike it? When did you change?"

Gu Xiaoyan immediately smiled and said, "I don't dislike Daddy, but my brother and sister are over there."

Gu Feng quickly made a snowball for him: "So you have to hit it back hard! Let me tell you, little daddy, he made a mistake by not choosing you!"

Gu Xiaoyan nodded and threw the snowball in his hand out with force.

Qiao Yu laughed loudly: "Yan Baoer, you are too weak! Xue Bao, he came out, beat him!"

Gu Xiaoxue responded and threw the snowball in her hand at Gu Xiaoyan.

"oops--"

"Sister, it hurts!"

Gu Feng quickly pulled the man back to hide, and sighed, "You have to hide quickly after the fight, understand?"

Gu Xiaoyan nodded!

The two sides fought back and forth, and finally Gu Feng surrendered.

Everyone no longer felt cold and was sweating all over.

Qiao Yu was having so much fun that he asked others to help him build a snowman.

Qiao Yu built a snowman from a famous animated film based on his memory, pointed at it and said to Gu Xiaoxue: "Xiaobao, this snowman is also called Xuebao!"

Gu Xiaoxue said happily: "It looks good!"

While everyone was making a snowman, Da Zhuang went to the village.

Then I saw Xiaobai sweeping the snow in the yard at home alone.

Xiao Bai saw Da Zhuang blushing and stepped forward and asked, "Why are you here?"

Da Zhuang blushed: "The boss said that you don't need to go to the store today. I came to tell you."

Xiao Bai nodded and said, "I understand."

Da Zhuang looked around the room again and again and asked, "Where is your husband?"

Xiao Bai's eyes were flustered for a moment, and he lowered his head and said, "He hasn't been back for a long time."

Da Zhuang thought, how could this scumbag do this and leave Xiao Bai to guard the house alone.

"Oh, I'll leave first."

In the afternoon, the snow melted, and the snow on the mountain road was swept by Qiao Yu and his team, so the ground was not muddy like other places.

Not long after, Lin Da came over on horseback.

I sent some pork to Qiao Yu and told him that he and Lin Er were going home to prepare for the New Year and would not be able to come over until after the New Year.

"It's okay, go to bed early and go back to be with your family. You can never make enough money, but family is the most important thing."

Lin Da gave Gu Feng five taels of silver, the dividend from last month: "Brother Gu, see you after the New Year."

Gu Feng nodded: "See you after the New Year."

Qiao Yu smiled and looked at Gu Feng: "No one will deliver meat every day in the future. Let's go buy some meat tomorrow. Buy some more rice and noodles, and I will bake bread and pizza for you later."

Gu Feng handed him the silver in his hand: "Buy, buy, buy whatever you want."
