Joe's Farming

Old Mrs. Gu was unable to speak, so the old patriarch spoke.

"Since there is no special reason, I will make the decision on this matter. You and Sanxi should go back and stop embarrassing yourself here."

Then he looked at Qiao Yu in Gu Feng's arms.

"Your husband, stop pretending. Hurry up and get the coffin up and fill the hole for me."

Gu Feng said in a serious manner: "I understand, Patriarch."

Qiao Yu's face turned as red as a boiled shrimp in Gu Feng's arms.

Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.

After the old patriarch finished speaking, he left, leaving the village chief alone to guard the place to prevent any further conflict between the two sides.

Old Mrs. Gu and Gu Sanxi argued for a long time but got nothing and left cursing.

Gu Feng carried Qiao Yu to the carriage: "Wait for us in the carriage."

Qiao Yu nodded, and seeing that the crowd had not dispersed yet, she whispered, "Please call Xiuxiu and the others over for me. It's not fun for me to sit here alone."

Gu Feng smiled and said, "Okay."

After that, everything went very smoothly. The Gu family came in a large group and left in a large group.

Only Old Lady Gu and her family were left in the yard, cursing and pointing fingers at the sky, but what was the use?

It's just impotent rage.

-

Gu Feng and his team acted quickly and managed to get his parents "moved" into the new grave before noon.

The children of the Gu family also came to kowtow to the new graves one by one.

Of course, Qiao Yu also wants it.

This was his first time to formally worship his parents-in-law, so he prepared a lot of paper money in the town in advance, as well as paper maids and attendants, and a paper house.

Don't underestimate these things. This house alone cost nearly two taels of silver. It can be seen that people of that era still believed in the underworld.

"Dad, Mom. I am an unfilial child. I have lived in a daze for so many years and never thought of you.

Xiaofeng has suffered a lot. From now on, I will take good care of you and Xiaofeng, and live a good life.

Xiaofeng is promising, so I found this Feng Shui treasure land for you.

We will come to see you often in the future."

Gu Gang choked up.

Gu Feng's eyes were also red.

"Dad, Mom. I'm doing fine. Big brother is just teasing you. I'm fine now. Qiao'er and I will come to visit you often."

After saying that, Gu Feng and Gu Gang kowtowed to their parents one last time, and then everyone stood up together.

At this point, the matter of relocating the graves was finally settled.

From now on, they no longer have to go to Shangxi Village unless necessary.

-

Lunch was prepared by Bai Lan.

Simple stir-fried cabbage with meat and radish and kelp soup.

Qiao Yu had eaten radishes and cabbages for the entire winter, and asked Gu Feng: "Can we plant some vegetables in this weather?"

Gu Feng nodded: "It's time to plant. I'll go to town to buy seeds tomorrow."

Qiao Yu said happily: "I'll go with you."

After waiting for a whole winter, I can finally grow vegetables!

Gu Feng asked: "What does Qiaoer want to plant?"

Qiao Yu said embarrassedly: "I want to plant everything. What about you, kids? What do you want to eat?"

Gu Xiaoyan asked excitedly: "Can we grow whatever we want to eat?"

"Of course! We have a lot of land now."

Qiao Yu said proudly.

Li Xin quickly raised her hand: "I want to eat tomatoes, scrambled eggs with tomatoes!"

Qiao Yu: “Received!”

Qiao Xing spoke for the first time: "Little Daddy, I want to grow potatoes!"

Gu Xiaoyan also raised her hand: "Me too!"

Gu Xiaoxue smiled and said, "Little Daddy will definitely plant it."

Qiao Yu was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry, potatoes were a must.

Qiao Xing thought for a moment and said, "There's also corn."

The fresh corn was delicious, although he had tasted it once before.

Qiao Yu nodded: "Got it."

The children talked all at once about what they wanted to eat, and Qiao Yu wrote them down one by one. In fact, these were all within the range of what he wanted to plant.

Just because the kids like it, he has to make some adjustments and add more of what the kids like to eat.

-

The next day, Qiao Yu and Gu Feng went to the town together.

This time, we also brought Da Zhuang along to let him do some physical work.

Qiao Yu went straight to the grocery store and bought all the seeds available in the store.

The grocery store owner enviously asked, "How much land does Mr. Qiao want to plant?"

Qiao Yu said modestly: "Not much, not much. Let's plant ten acres first. We'll see later."

The grocery store owner smacked his lips and said, "Boss Qiao, you made so much money from this business without making any noise?"

"No, I'm just lucky. Boss, please stop making fun of me."

Qiao Yu came here for another purpose: to buy early rice.

There just happened to be several bags of old rice in the grocery store, but no one bought them because the price was too high before. Now that the price is right and people who can afford rice don't want to buy them, they're not interested.

Qiao Yu happily bought them all.

"Boss, please buy more of this rice next time. This is five taels of silver as a deposit."

Qiao Yu took out the silver.

Not to mention the boss, even Gu Feng on the side was a little puzzled.

Next, Qiao Yu asked Gu Feng to take him to the place in the village where flour was ground and pay someone to grind it into rice flour.

Faced with Gu Feng and Da Zhuang’s confusion.

Qiao Yu explained: "Didn't you buy a lot of clay pots before?

In fact, I have always wanted to make something called casserole rice noodles.

Rice noodles, as the name implies, are made of rice, and they taste better when made with this kind of old early rice.”

Da Zhuang suddenly realized and began to admire Qiao Yu again.

"Boss, how do you know so much?"

Qiao Yu touched his nose and said, "Yeah, I read it in a book. So Da Zhuang, you should learn more from Su Qing.

I heard that your brother Qing would study late at night. You live next door, so how come it doesn't affect you?"

Da Zhuang chuckled.

"Boss, that character has too many strokes and is too complicated. I can't remember it.

Xiaobai is still learning, so we can just have a meeting at home."

Qiao Yu smiled and said nothing.

Gu Feng silently reflected on himself, wondering if his husband had noticed his recent slackness and was using Da Zhuang to give him a warning?

"Qiao'er, have I been busy recently..."

Gu Feng quickly expressed his opinion, but was interrupted by Qiao Yu: "I know you are busy, let's talk about it after you are done with this. Don't worry, we still have a lot of time."

Only then did Gu Feng breathe a sigh of relief.

-

The ten acres of land have been deeply plowed.

Qiao Yu doesn’t know how to farm, but when he plants flowers he pays great attention to the base fertilizer of the soil.

So in the next few days, Qiao Yu would sprinkle the soil with the compost that he had collected from various households.

There had always been some piled up in his backyard, but it was never enough.

After preparing the base fertilizer, Qiao Yu planted potatoes immediately.

Then hire people to fetch water to ensure the soil is moist.

He has planted two acres of potatoes. If he is lucky, he will have a good harvest in April. Then he can be free to enjoy the potatoes.

Zhang Shan and others who were helping to plant potatoes curiously asked Qiao Yu what it was.

Qiao Yu told them that this was called potatoes, and when there was a good harvest, each person would be given ten kilograms for free to try.

Half of the remaining eight acres of land must be planted with peppers, especially red peppers.

However, the peppers need to be planted densely to germinate first, and then divided and transplanted when they grow to the height of a palm.

Qiao Yu had been busy for two consecutive days and finally collapsed from exhaustion.
