Joe's Farming

"It's fine if you like it. The spiciness can be adjusted. We also need to make it a little less spicy for the elderly and children."

Qiao Yu ate several slices of mutton himself.

Before they knew it, their family had achieved hotpot freedom.

Is there anything more joyful than this?

The hotpot could not be finished in one meal, so after everyone had eaten, Qiao Yu asked Bai Lan to boil the pot, then cover it with a lid and put it under the eaves.

"We can continue to eat hot pot at noon tomorrow."

Xu Yuan paused when he heard this: "Brother Qiao, can we stay tonight?"

Xu Ning's face was so red that it was about to bleed.

Qiao Yu said unhappily, "Didn't I send you two packets of soup base? If you want to eat it tomorrow, make it yourself at home. But make a clear soup base for Xu Ning. He can't eat spicy food alone now. I heard it's not good for him."

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Okay. My parents can't eat spicy food. I'll use less base tomorrow so they can have two more meals."

Qiao Yu gave a thumbs up: "Master Xu is diligent and frugal in managing his household. He is truly a role model for our generation."

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng chatted and laughed as they sent Xu Yuan and his wife to the door.

The driver had just eaten with Dazhuang, Xiaobai and the others, and now he admired the young master and his brother even more.

He never complained about driving the carriage to Gu's house on snowy days again.

I hope my young master and his husband can come here more often in the future.

"Remember to send it to the county magistrate's family. His wife likes spicy food." Qiao Yu reminded again.

Xu Yuan nodded: "I know, go back quickly. It's cold outside."

Xu Ning also got into the car and said to Gu Feng and Qiao Yu, "Go back quickly. Brother Gu, please take good care of Brother Qiao."

Gu Feng nodded.

"Come and pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival!" Qiao Yu reminded again.

Xu Yuan said loudly: "Definitely!"

Wen Ge'er and Wang Jie also said, "We are leaving too, you guys should go back to the house."

Qiao Yu nodded. He and Wen Ge'er were too familiar with each other and they lived close to each other, so he was not reluctant to leave.

"Hurry up and go. Remember to tell me if the hotpot tastes good after you finish eating."

Wen Ge'er nodded. This has become a tradition among them. Every time they make a new dish, they will ask the diners if it tastes good.

"Wang Jie, hold Wen Ge'er tightly, don't let him fall."

Wang Jie immediately responded loudly: "Okay, don't worry. Brother Gu, you too. Help others, our boss is very valuable now."

Gu Feng replied seriously: "Okay."

Qiao Yu poked him with a smile: "Don't pay attention to him."

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng returned to the main room. Xiao Bai had just helped wash the dishes and thanked Qiao Yu, "Qiao brother, the hot pot is delicious today. Thank you for letting me come and have a meal. It's okay. I'll go back first."

Qiao Yu called him: "Why are you going back? It will be so cold if you go back now. Stay with Yan Bao tonight."

Li Xin, who had just finished helping Bai Lan with her work, heard this and said, "Brother, isn't it me who is sleeping with Yan Bao?"

Qiao Yu rolled her eyes: "Our pit can accommodate four adults, and you won't be crowded."

Li Xin was relieved then, as long as he was not forced to sleep somewhere else.

He had finally established a good roommate relationship with Gu Xiaoyan today.

Gu Xiaoyan originally liked Xiaobai, and it can be said that he liked all people of the same gender as him.

After Qiao Yu arranged the accommodation, he went back to his room and lay down to rest.

I ate too much and don't want to move.

Gu Feng knew from the look on his face that he had eaten too much.

She quickly started to rub his belly, and while doing so she carefully touched Qiao Yu's belly.

Qiao Yu smiled knowingly.

"I don't feel anything yet."

"Ok, I know."

I feel happy just thinking about it, Gu Feng said in his heart.

After washing up in the evening, Qiao Yu started counting money by lighting the oil lamp.

This time Xu Ning brought nearly seven hundred taels of silver, and Qiao Yu directly stuffed all the dozens of taels of silver into Gu Feng's pocket.

"You bought me sheep and other things. Keep the money. Buy yourself some more things. We don't need to be so frugal now."

Gu Feng didn't say no this time. He had already made up his mind to save the money to buy a gift for his husband.

Although Qiao Yu always accused him of spending money recklessly, he was very happy every time he received a gift.

Qiao Yu put all the banknotes into the piggy bank, hugged Gu Feng and fell asleep happily.

"Husband, I am so happy."

Just when Gu Feng thought that her husband had fallen asleep, Qiao Yu suddenly said something.

Gu Feng kissed him and whispered, "Me too."

The two kissed for a long time and fell asleep in each other's arms.

-

On the morning before New Year's Eve, the sheep raised by the children began to become restless.

He paced back and forth in the makeshift lamb shed in the shack and began to bleat non-stop.

"Little Daddy, the sheep seems to be sick! It peed a lot."

Gu Xiaoyan ran to Qiao Yu nervously and shouted urgently.

Gu Xiaoxue and Qiao Xing also showed uneasy expressions.

Qiao Yu hurried over with Gu Feng to see, and everyone gathered over after hearing it. The ewe became even more agitated and cried even more "miserably".

The sheep in their family were raised by the children to give birth to lambs, but the lambs died before they were born.

After Qiao Yu and Gu Feng arrived, they observed the ewe's reaction.

Gu Feng had seen a pregnant ewe, so he realized at first glance that the ewe might be about to give birth.

Gu Feng went in and cleaned up the dirty sheep pen, then asked Qiao Yu to find some unwanted clothes, and asked Da Zhuang to spread hay in the sheep shed, as it was necessary to keep warm in the winter.

Everyone was in a panic, but fortunately Gu Feng was a brave man and successfully delivered the lamb.

When a lamb is born, there is mucus in its mouth and nose, which is usually licked off by the ewe.

Then find nipples for the lambs to feed.

When Qiao Yu saw the ewe lying exhausted and the lamb sucking milk with its eyes closed, she finally felt relieved.

"Brother Gu, you are awesome! How come you know everything?"

Qiao Yu praised loudly, and the children all nodded. Gu Feng's face turned a little red. It was quite strange to think that a man alone was delivering a ewe.

There were two lambs in total, just as Gu Xiaoyan wanted before.

One has whiter spots, and the other has more black.

The children gave them the names they had thought of before.

Ice cream and sesame seeds.

Qiao Yu was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Not only did their family have two dogs, Milk and Bread, but they also had two other alternative pets, Ice Cream and Sesame.

He had seen a video before, where a goat was kept as a pet. It had no awareness of being a pet at all and would lick the owner's food every time.

Qiao Yu thought about it and decided that he would have to set some rules for his children to keep pets in the future. He liked pets.

But it is not acceptable for a pet to lick his food!

Afraid that the lamb would be cold, Qiao Yu found some unwanted clothes and wrapped it around the lamb again.

Da Zhuang also added thick hay inside to ensure it was warm and comfortable.

The ewes and lambs all look OK.

In order to increase the nutrition of the ewes after giving birth, Qiao Yu also asked Bai Lan to add some grain powder to the ewe feed to supplement high protein.

The children were afraid that something might happen to the lamb, so they stayed in the shed for a long time until Qiao Yu called everyone back to the house.
