Joe's Farming

After dinner, Qiao Yu took the four of them to buy daily necessities.

First, I bought two sets of clothes and two pairs of cloth shoes for each person.

As for summer clothes, they would go back with the cloth and ask Bai Lan to teach them how to make them themselves.

In addition, she even bought beautiful hairbands for Song Xiaoyu and others.

If the four of them only had a preliminary liking for their two bosses, Qiao Yu and Gu Feng, because of a bowl of clay pot rice noodles, then now they are completely devoted to them.

They have food to eat and clothes to wear, and their boss is easy to talk to. No one is luckier than them.

After buying things for the four people, Gu Feng also bought some rice, flour, grain and oil for his family, and then the two of them sent the four people back to the snack bar.

They went to the county government office to find the county magistrate.

The matter of banditry was too serious, they had to go and get to the bottom of it.

This was not the first time the two of them came to the county government office.

Because of the mountain purchase, the officials in the county government all knew the couple.

When he heard that the two men had important matters to discuss with the county magistrate, he led them to the county magistrate's mansion behind the county government office without saying a word.

Xie Changyu and his wife were playing chess in the yard. Since they were all acquaintances, Mrs. Xie did not try to avoid them.

"Brother Qiao, Hunter Gu. Why are you here?"

Xie Changyu and his wife stood up and invited Qiao Yu and Gu Feng into the house.

"Thank you, ma'am. Brother Gu and I have something important to report."

Qiao Yu said after sitting down.

Gu Feng nodded and said, "I wonder if you know about the bandit problem in Suining County last year?"

"Banditism? Tell me in detail."

Xie Changyu looked as if he was unaware of the situation.

Qiao Yu then told Song Xiaoyu what she had said.

Xie Changyu stood up excitedly: "Wang Yong, that bastard! How dare he conceal such a big thing? It's really outrageous!"

Mrs. Xie exclaimed quickly, "Husband!"

Xie Changyu quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I really couldn't help it.

Suining County Magistrate Wang Yong and I have never gotten along, but I never expected that he would even dare not report such a major event.

Last year, their political achievements in Suining were much better than those in Taoyuan. During the winter snowstorm, he even asked the court for a lot of disaster relief funds.

Our Taoyuan County also distributed some relief food, but we didn’t expect so many people would still die.

I now wonder if he didn’t put the money to good use.”

Gu Feng said in a deep voice: "Master Xie, don't doubt it, he must have been greedy. The most urgent task is to find out the details of those bandits.

Suining and Taoyuan are so close, if they come over someday, we can deal with them as soon as possible."

Xie Changyu nodded: "Gu Hunter is right. I will ask someone to check it out right now."

Xie Changyu quickly called the officials in and asked them to send people to the next county to search for traces of the bandits.

"Be sure not to alert the enemy."

"Yes, my lord."

After Xie Changyu finished making the arrangements, he calmed down and said to Qiao Yu in a friendly manner, "Brother Qiao, how are the potatoes growing?"

Qiao Yu was stunned for a moment before replying, "I hired someone to take care of it. The recent rains have been good, so it's growing well."

Xie Changyu nodded and asked, "Can I go and take a look?"

Qiao Yu glanced at Gu Feng before replying: "Of course, you are most welcome."

He didn't expect Xie Changyu to attach so much importance to potatoes.

Gu Feng hurriedly reminded: "Qiao'er, it just so happens that our villa will be welcoming guests soon."

Mrs. Xie asked with interest, "What villa? Is it built on the mountain you bought before?"

Xie Changyu laughed and said, "They didn't just buy a mountain. They actually built a villa. When will it open? My wife and I will go to show our support and take a look at the potatoes."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "It will be soon. Brother Gu and I came to town today to recruit people. When we are ready, we will send the invitation to you and your wife. Please come and show us your presence."

"sure."

Finally, the few of them chatted for a while, and then Qiao Yu and Gu Feng went back.

It was still early for the children to finish school, so the two of them sent Song Xiaoyu and the others home first, and Gu Feng would come to pick up the children alone later.

On the way, Qiao Yu still sat in the front with Gu Feng.

The four people in the carriage had just helped Wen Ge'er in the backyard of the snack bar, and they were not as reserved with each other as they were at the beginning.

Song Xiaoyu said first: "The boss and his family seem to have a good relationship."

Huang Guihua said: "They don't just look like they have a good relationship, they must be very good. I see that the hostess is very obedient to her husband and almost feeds him during meals."

Xia He disagreed and said, "It's not good to discuss the boss behind his back."

Huang Guihua: "What does it matter? I didn't say anything bad about the boss."

Wang Decai remembered that Wen Ge'er and the others called Gu Feng "Second Master" and hurriedly reminded them:

"Just now, Manager Wen called him Second Master, and others called the Dongjia Husband Dongjia, so I think we should follow suit."

Song Xiaoyu nodded quickly: "Yes, I remember that in the dental clinic, the boss Qiao had the final say. Is it our boss's husband who has the final say?"

Song Xiaoyu's eyes were filled with envy. He was a boy, and although he had been herding sheep in the mountains and didn't come into contact with many people, he was already fifteen years old. At this age, she couldn't help but long for what her future husband would look like.

Huang Guihua said suspiciously, "No way, maybe the Second Master is just a quiet person and always lets his husband speak for him outside."

Xia He agreed, "I think it's possible. Have you forgotten that Manager Wen's husband is also in the snack bar? He's just a waiter. He's my husband's subordinate."

"Wow, our boss is really awesome."

Song Xiaoyu praised.

Wang Decai also nodded slightly. In his forty years of life, he had never seen a young man like Qiao Yu.

Although she had a big belly and was very friendly to others, her speech and behavior were not like those of ordinary people.

When the carriage passed the entrance of Shangtian Village, the villagers greeted Qiao Yu and Gu Feng enthusiastically.

"Is Brother Qiao going to town again?"

"Well, I went to recruit a few long-term workers."

Qiao Yu said generously.

Someone immediately shouted, "Hey, Brother Qiao, why don't you just recruit people in the village? My son can go there."

Another aunt said: "Go away, your idiot can't even take care of his own land. Brother Qiao, my buddy is strong and can endure hardships, let him go too."

Someone else said immediately, "Stop arguing, Brother Qiao, are you still short of people? I want to go, too."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Brother Gu will come over to recruit people tomorrow. Anyone with ideas can come over then."

Everyone was very happy to hear this.

The spring ploughing has been completed, and the men in the village are worried about having nothing to do.

Qiao Yu saw a few boys and girls in the crowd.

"Boys and girls can come and try. We have other jobs to hire."

Being a waiter, preparing preserved eggs, raising ducks, etc. are all suitable jobs for girls and boys.

Now the girls and boys were also happy, and soon the news that the Gu family was going to hire someone spread throughout the village.

The village chief heard the news at home.

"Good, good, good. Gu and Qiao are now living a better life, and they have helped our villagers to improve their lives."
