Joe's Farming

Li Qiao stepped forward politely: "Excuse me, could you please make way for us? We want to buy those two books."

He pointed to the book behind one of them.

There were four students in Qingfeng. The oldest looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest was eight or nine years old. When they heard Li Qiao's voice, they all turned around and looked at Li Qiao and the three children beside him.

“Isn’t this Mingde’s man?”

"Mingde students still need to buy books? Don't you say your family is quite wealthy? What kind of books should you buy? Can you understand them?"

"Hey, why are there boys and girls here? It's really a private school that anyone with money can attend. What can boys and girls do with their studies? To take the imperial examination?"

"Hahahaha, stop talking. The little girl is about to cry."

"You're the one who's going to cry! Your whole family loves to cry!" Gu Xiaoxue said angrily.

Unexpectedly, these guys became even more excited.

"Oh, you won't be able to get married if you're so fierce."

"Hahaha, I guess the little girl scolded me."

"Say it again, you little bitch!"

Qiao Xing and Gu Xiaoyan stood in front of the man.

"Don't you dare scold my sister!"

Gu Xiaoyan said angrily.

"You Mingde guys are so funny! Can't you accept any more students? You even accept boys. Boys should stay at home and wait to get married and have kids just like girls!"

Qiao Xing clenched his fists and was pulled back by Li Qiao: "Why don't we go back first?"

Gu Xiaoyan's eyes sparkled with tears: "Little Daddy said that brothers are just like men, they can do whatever they want! The same goes for women, if they want to study, they can study, if they don't want to get married, they don't have to get married!"

"Little Daddy? So he was born by a brother, no wonder..."

"What's the wonder?"

A cold voice came.

Gu Xiaoyan turned around, wiped the corners of her eyes and said happily: "Brother Tianyu."

Xie Tianyu was well-dressed and had an extraordinary temperament. Although he was not very old, he still looked more imposing than the students in front of him who were older than him.

"There is no law in Dayan that forbids girls from going to school, and there is no law that explicitly stipulates that boys must marry and have children.

My brother is also a man, and if he wants, he can study and take the imperial examinations just like you."

The four students from Qingfeng Academy opposite did not know Xie Tianyu, but they had all heard of Xie Tianyu's name. Isn't this the only son of County Magistrate Xie, the little prodigy?

For a moment, the four of them looked at each other, not knowing how to refute.

Finally, the oldest child said unconvincedly: "Mingde is not a formal school. They accept anyone who has money! How can the students taught by such a school compare with our Qingfeng?"

Xie Tianyu looked at him like an idiot and said coldly, "I am also from Mingde."

Upon hearing this, Li Qiao looked at Qiao Xing and the others in surprise. Qiao Xing and his younger brother and sister shook their heads, indicating that they had no idea.

When the students of Qingfeng Academy heard this, they were stunned.

Didn't Xie Tianyu hire a teacher to study at home? Why did he suddenly go to Mingde?

Wouldn't it be better to go to Qingfeng? Why did you go to the worst Mingde?

"Yeah, Mingde, Mingde is Mingde."

"What's so great about Mingde? Come on, don't delay the people from Mingde from buying books."

"What do you mean by little prodigy? I think he's just a fool..."

"Stop talking! Go, go."

Gu Xiaoyan saw that the annoying guys had left, and then he walked up to Xie Tianyu: "Brother Tianyu, why are you here?"

Xie Tianyu had actually been studying at Mingde College for a few days, but because he had a good foundation, he was naturally separated from Gu Xiaoyan and the others.

He saw the three people in the school cafeteria today and wanted to say hello, but found that they ran away with Li Qiao after dinner.

Xie Tianyu was curious, so he followed them out of the academy. Unexpectedly, he saw them being bullied by people from Qingfeng Academy.

"I just happened to pass by." Xie Tianyu said lightly.

"Are you really coming to our school?" Qiao Xing asked.

Xie Tianyu nodded: "Well, from now on we will all be in the same school."

Li Qiao said happily: "That's great! Xie Tianyu and I are in the same school. My parents will be so happy to hear this!"

Gu Xiaoxue shook the two books in her hands and said, "Okay, okay, let's buy some books and go back to the school."

"Oh, oh, okay. Xiaoxue, you got the wrong book. It's that one."

"It's okay, brother brought money today, buy one more book."

"I want to buy Daddy's too."

"it is good."

In Lingyun Villa, Gu Feng handed the clothes and bedding he had bought with others in the morning to Xiao Si, also known as Li Ming.

"Tell Ling Lie and Sister Lan if you need anything. When we were building the staff housing, we didn't expect there would be so many people in our family, so we built less.

I have already selected the bricks, which will be brought over in a few days. You should dig the foundation first in the next few days."

Everyone said happily: "Second Master, are you going to build a new house for us?!"

Gu Feng: "What else? Let you sleep on the floor all the time? Ling Lie agrees, but I don't. If the guests of the villa see you, they will think that Qiao Er and I are mistreating you."

"How could that be? Second Master and the Dong family are the best Dong family we have ever seen!"

"That's right, that's right. This dress is better than my own!"

"Second Master, where should we build the foundation? Let's start now!"

The ignored Ling Lie said quietly, "Ah, I have figured it out. Now that you have the Second Master, you have forgotten me."

Xiaoliu rushed over and hugged him: "Brother Ling, you will always be my big brother! I will never forget you in my life.

But building a house is also important! You are welcome to sleep on the floor in my house in the future."

Everyone was amused and laughed.

Ling Lie pushed the man away: "Get lost! I'm going to see how the kimchi I made is doing."

Ling Lie said as he stepped back, watching the teenagers happily follow Gu Feng away. It was great that they still had a place to stay.

Even if it costs my life, I will never let anything happen to the Gu family.

Two days later, Qiao Yu received the first batch of butter that Wang Xuan brought over after returning to the provincial capital.

Qiao Yu immediately asked people to purchase a large amount of dried chili peppers, almost emptying the stock in Taoyuan Town.

When the villagers found out about this, they kept regretting why they didn’t plant more peppers the previous year. Those who were quick-witted immediately bought pepper seedlings and planted them overnight.

For the next few days, the Gu family was busy collecting dried chilies.

Part of it should be pounded into chili powder, and part of it should be cut into dried chili segments.

However, what gave Qiao Yu a headache was that only half a basket of the peppercorns purchased last year was left. Although he picked a lot last year and purchased some more later, the snack bar and his family had been using them all.

The peppercorns have just been transplanted this year, and are now lush and green, but the fruits will have to wait until August or September.

Qiao Yu couldn't help but blame himself. He should have gone to other villages to collect the waste last year.

But now that it has come to this, the hot pot base must be made, just without the peppercorns.

It is also best to classify the spiciness into levels: mild, medium, and extra spicy.

When the peppercorns are cooked, add the spicy flavor.
