Joe's Farming

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng smiled at each other, and Qiao Yu said, "Okay! No problem, I'll leave you a piece of land when the time comes. You can do whatever you want with it."

Xu Yuan whispered, "I want a house like yours, where I can sleep on the kang to keep warm in the winter."

Xu Ning also nodded to show his agreement.

Qiao Yu saw Xu Ning touching her belly from time to time, so she asked, "How are you feeling lately? Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Xu Ning shook his head and said shyly, "There's nothing wrong with it, I just eat more."

Xu Yuan touched her husband's belly and said, "Nonsense, I think it's just right. I can eat two bowls of rice when I eat with Aning."

Gu Feng rarely spoke: "Ayuan does look much better than before, and his face has gained some flesh."

Xu Yuan touched his face happily, and then looked at Qiao Yu with some worry: "Brother Qiao, do you think I have become ugly? Should I control my eating habits?"

Qiao Yu said speechlessly: "Don't go crazy, don't you know how thin you were before? It's not too much to gain another 20 pounds."

Xu Ning also said: "Husband, you have always been good-looking."

The four of them chatted casually, and half an hour passed quickly.

Li Xin leaned forward and knocked on the door.

"Brother, I have to go to class. Do you want to sit in?"

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning looked at the strange boy in front of them and looked at Qiao Yu curiously.

Qiao Yu waved her hand and said, "Come here, let me introduce you to my sponsor."

Xu Yuan immediately waved his hand at Gu Feng: "Brother Gu, I'm not like that. I didn't let Brother Qiao call me that."

Gu Feng touched Qiao Yu's head with amusement: "Look how scared you are."

When Li Xin heard that it was the big boss's sponsor, he immediately stepped forward and politely extended his right hand, saying loudly: "Hello, I'm Li Xin, my brother's younger brother."

Qiao Yu:......

Xu Yuan saw him reaching out his hand, not knowing what he was going to do. But he still bowed and said, "I am Xu Yuan, and this is my husband Xu Ning. Brother Qiao is my sworn brother. So you are also my younger brother."

Qiao Yu:......

Okay, I can’t get rid of the identity of Li Xin’s little brother.

Qiao Yu held Li Xin's awkward hand and shook it up and down, then said to everyone: "This is called a handshake. It's the etiquette of my and Li Xin's hometown. It's the same as our fist-holding and bowing."

Xu Yuan finally reacted and extended his right hand towards Li Xin apologetically: "Then let's shake hands again."

Li Xin happily shook hands with the "sugar daddy" and looked at Xu Ning. He didn't dare to touch her because he was her husband.

But Xu Ning had already stretched out his right hand towards him curiously, and Li Xin looked at Qiao Yu with inquiring eyes.

Qiao Yu: "Even Xu Ning is not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

Li Xin happily shook hands with Xu Ning.

Xu Ning just felt it was novel and shared his feelings with Xu Yuan.

"Husband, I think it's quite fun. If you don't like someone, you can pinch their hand and hurt them."

Qiao Yu laughed out loud after hearing this.

"Xu Ning, why didn't I find you so suitable to be a villain?"

Xu Yuan was dissatisfied: "Nonsense, my husband is the most gentle, why would he be a bad guy."

Li Xin didn't expect that there was a couple in the world who were more affectionate than his brother Qiao. He almost forgot why he came here.

"Brother, I have to go to class. If you don't come, I'll just go casually."

Before Qiao Yu could answer, Xu Yuan asked curiously, "What class is Xindi taking?"

Li Xin scratched his head embarrassedly: "My brother asked me to teach math, physics and chemistry, but there are no teaching aids, so I thought I would teach them the multiplication table today."

Xu Yuan sat up immediately.

"That sounds interesting, can I listen?"

Xu Yuan looked towards Qiao Yu, and Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Let's go together."

Li Xin didn't expect that he would call out these people just to show off his skills.

A brazier was lit in the main room, and the little ones sat obediently beside the table, looking at Li Xin and the four adults following behind him.

The three children were very happy to see Xu Yuan and Xu Ning.

Gu Xiaoyan: "Brother Ning, when did you come?"

Gu Xiaoxue: "Why are you still calling me brother or uncle?"

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning walked up to the children.

Xu Yuan: "We have just arrived and we need to learn from you guys."

Qiao Xing was puzzled and asked, "Brother, aren't you going to take the exam to become a scholar? And you want to learn the same thing as us?"

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "I have never heard of what your young master said before, and I am very interested. Do you mind if we sit with you?"

Of course the three children didn't mind and quickly shook their heads.

Even the old man, who was curious about what class the new kid would teach today, found a seat in the corner.

Qiao Yu thought that everyone in their family needed to know how to do accounting, and the multiplication table was very practical, so he asked Qiao Xing to call everyone who wanted to learn.

Li Xin, who was drawing the multiplication table with pen and ink, was startled.

Li Xin wrote on two sheets of paper, using both words and Arabic numerals.

After writing, the teaching officially begins.

Li Xin teaches seriously, not rigidly, and it can even be said to be lively and interesting.

The formula was easy to remember and after an hour, the children had memorized most of it.

"Okay, that's all for today's class. You can go back and copy down this table and memorize it. This way you will be able to do math quickly and without making mistakes in the future."

The children were very active and went back to the house to get their own paper and pens.

Gu Feng grabbed one first, and then looked proudly at Gu Gang who didn't get one.

"Brother, I'll give it to you when I'm done with it."

Hong Xiu pulled Gu Gang soothingly and said, "Don't worry, just ask the children to write one more later."

It was the first time that Da Zhuang learned this. He murmured, "No wonder the boss counted the money so quickly. It turns out there is such a formula."

Su Qing had never come across it before, and some of the rules in the formulas were based on his experience.

Xu Ning was not surprised, but looked at Xu Yuan.

"Husband, this is the same as the 'Nine-Nine Song' you taught me, just reversed. The last line of the 'Nine-Nine Song' is 'One and two become two, two and a half become one'. I think Li Xin's way of teaching, from smallest to largest, is easier to remember. And the table Li Xin drew is really easy to remember."

Xu Yuan and Wen Ge'er had been taught Arabic numerals by Qiao Yu, so when he saw the multiplication table, he found it easier to remember than the written version of the song.

The old man also interjected: "When I was a child, I also learned "Nine Nine Songs" and "Nine Chapters on the Mathematical Art", but they were not as easy to remember as what the young master said."

Xu Yuan nodded. The Nine-Nine Song was something they had to learn when they were first starting out as businessmen and wealthy families.

He had just heard what Da Zhuang and Su Qing said. He had never realized before that not everyone could learn the things that they could learn since childhood.

He looked at Qiao Yu seriously: "Brother Qiao, I want to do something."

Qiao Yu was a little frightened: "What are you going to do?"

"I will write a thousand copies of this multiplication table and give them out for free to anyone who wants to learn it."
