Joe's Farming

Qiao Yu was slightly stunned, then blushed and said, "Really? I don't think so."

After saying that, he raised his chin and went to find Gu Feng.

He moved the onions and rosemary he had grown previously to a sunny spot in the kitchen because the yard was too cold.

Gu Feng is now watering these precious little things in pots.

"Have you finished talking?" Gu Feng asked him.

Qiao Yu was annoyed: "There's nothing to talk about, you're just a little brat."

"Husband, when are you and brother going to move the graves?"

Gu Feng finished watering and made sure that every flower pot could get sunlight, then he replied, "Let's wait until after the New Year. The soil is frozen now, so it's hard to dig."

Qiao Yu nodded.

"Then we can ask a Feng Shui master to choose a good location on our mountain, and we will bury it there."

Gu Feng frowned and covered Qiao Yu's mouth.

"Nonsense, how old are you? Why are you burying them?"

Qiao Yu blinked to indicate that she knew she was wrong, and Gu Feng let go of her hand.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"understood."

As soon as the two finished talking, Li Xin came over and asked Qiao Yu what he was doing at noon since his class didn't start until the afternoon.

Qiao Yu didn't expect him to be so curry.

"The children need to take a nap. If you have the habit of taking a nap, you can join them."

Li Xin said happily: "Yes, I love taking naps so much." Paid sleep, what a great thing!

Li Xin ran away after saying that, leaving Gu Feng looking at Qiao Yu: "Qiao Yu, why didn't you take a nap today?"

Qiao Yu shook her head. She didn’t know if it was because of Li Xin, but she was a little excited today. That’s why she didn’t feel sleepy at all.

"Husband, let's go find Ayuan and the others to play with."

Gu Feng looked at the snow on the ground outside.

"Wait for two days until the snow melts a little. I'll take you there."

Qiao Yu also knew that she was forcing others to do what she wanted, so she agreed.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses neighing in the front yard.

Qiao Yu immediately wanted to see who was coming, but Gu Feng stopped her: "Be careful, we'll go together."

Gu Feng protected Qiao Yu and walked to the front yard, where he saw Xu Yuan and Xu Ning, wrapped up warmly, smiling at him.

"Brother Qiao, Aning and I are here to see you."

Qiao Yu glanced at Gu Feng, then smiled and said, "You won't believe me if I tell you this, but I was just trying to get Brother Gu to go play with you guys."

Xu Yuan held her husband's hand and asked the driver to unload the things in the cart.

Qiao Yu looked at the basket of red meat and yellow lard and said in disbelief, "Beef and lard?"

Xu Ning nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

"My husband remembered that Brother Qiao mentioned before that you can use butter to make hot pot. The farm sent it over today, so I wanted to send it to you."

Qiao Yu looked at Xu Yuan with a smile.

"Is Ayuan greedy too?"

Xu Yuan admitted generously: "It's mainly because you described it as so delicious before, Brother Qiao, I really want to try it."

Qiao Yu said with some regret: "But we don't have the other bean paste yet, I'm afraid it's not that authentic, but we have hot sauce at home, so we'll have beef hot pot for dinner."

"Okay, okay. Ning and I can eat anything."

As they were talking, they arrived at the main room. Because the children were taking a nap, Qiao Yu welcomed them into the bedroom and placed a low table on the bed.

He grabbed a handful of melon seeds, peanuts and the nougat he had made earlier, and put a pot of hot water. He and Xu Ning both had problems, so it would be best for them to drink pure water. Gu Feng and Xu Yuan poured some hawthorn rock sugar into their cups to help them digest the food and relieve the greasiness.

Seeing that there was something he had never eaten before, Xu Yuan peeled a piece for Xu Ning and fed him a bite.

Xu Ning's mouth was immediately filled with the aroma of milk.

Xu Ning held the candy in her mouth and immediately peeled one for Xu Yuan, saying incoherently, "My husband, have some too."

Xu Yuan took a bite and found the taste quite special.

"Brother Qiao, what is this made of?"

Seeing that the couple liked it, Qiao Yu was also very happy: "How is the milk you two gave me? Is it delicious?"

They both nodded.

Xu Yuan whispered to Xu Ning: "I told you, Brother Qiao must have delicious food here."

Xu Ning looked at him sheepishly, and spoke as if they were just here to eat delicious food.

Xu Ning took out the account book and red envelope that he had been holding in his arms.

"Brother Qiao, this is last month's account book and dividends, take a look."

Time flies so fast, and it's time to share the money again.

Qiao Yu took the things with a smile and turned directly to the last page of the account book. As he expected, the profit only increased compared to the first month, but the dividend was not much more, and there was still a shortfall of two taels to seven hundred taels.

Xu Ning explained anxiously, "We have more and more large orders. The original soap shop is not enough, so my husband asked me to buy another place, so it cost some money. But I calculated that our profit will double next month."

Qiao Yu nodded in agreement: "Some people don't have a holiday during the Chinese New Year. I'll pay them twice their wages from my account during the Chinese New Year."

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Qiao. Aning has already given red envelopes to each of them. The workers are all vying to stay and work."

Xu Ning nodded immediately: "This account is also included."

Qiao Yu couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that people of the same family stick together. You two are both good at doing business."

Xu Ning blushed slightly and whispered back, "My husband is a scholar and will take the exam to become a scholar in the future."

"Hahahaha. Yes, yes, yes."

Qiao Yu drank water instead of wine: "I hope you can pass the exam and become a scholar. Then you won't have to kneel down to the officials."

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you, County Magistrate, for never asking me to kneel. By the way, Brother Qiao, we also made some money from the cards. But I used the money to buy a cargo ship, so I can only give you dividends next month."

Qiao Yu waved his hand. His brother had never treated him unfairly. "Just use it. I trust you."

Qiao Yu saw that Gu Feng was just listening to them silently without expressing any opinion.

"By the way, Brother Gu, something big happened in our family too, why don't you tell them about it."

Gu Feng was startled, then realized that his husband was afraid that he would be bored staying with them.

He felt that his husband was overthinking it. He particularly liked Xu Yuan and his wife, and he found it very interesting to listen to them talk.

I always feel that it is easy to make money in this world and life is easy too.

"Qiaoer and I bought the mountain next door. Next year we plan to plant some fruit trees and raise some chickens, ducks, cows and sheep." Gu Feng said concisely.

Xu Ning asked in surprise: "Which one?"

Qiao Yu opened the window and cold wind blew in, but everyone remained enthusiastic.

Qiao Yu pointed to the left: "That's the one. It will be ours from now on. There's a large piece of wasteland at the foot of the mountain, which will also be ours. We'll raise some ducks and fish there. No, it's so beautiful just thinking about it. Hahaha."

When Gu Feng saw that Qiao Yu had finished pointing, he quickly closed the window.

Xu Ning said longingly: "It will be so beautiful then."

Xu Yuan said excitedly: "Brother Qiao, I will pay you to build a house for me at the foot of the mountain, and Aning and I can move in from time to time."

Qiao Yu almost laughed to death: "Don't you have a farm in the countryside? Why do you have to live with me?"

Xu Yuan chuckled and said, "Zhuangzi is not as fun as your place."
