Joe's Farming

When the little beggar heard this, a few tears fell from his peach blossom eyes, which had never cried even when he was beaten by a group of people, but his voice was still as usual as he advised: "Grandpa, this time the kind-hearted people gave me two big buns, as well as meat and vegetables. It's enough for me to eat."

As he said this, he tore the bun open, revealing the meat filling inside. Seeing the little beggar crying, the old man stopped being stubborn and opened his mouth to take a bite.

The little beggar then started to eat. He had been hungry for two days and felt like he was going to faint if he didn't eat anything. He ate half of the bun and stopped eating. He then brought the old man a bowl of water, which was the same bucket of rainwater he had collected two days ago.

The old man took a sip, then took a bite of the bun, chewing it fully. It was so delicious. It had been a long time since he had eaten such delicious buns.

After the beggar fed the old man a bun, he tore open another one. It was a vegetable and tofu bun. Although it was vegetarian, it was also very fragrant. The old man waved his hand, indicating that the beggar should eat it himself.

The little beggar said in a hoarse voice: "There's more, Grandpa. Only if you eat enough can you get better quickly."

After that, he picked up a small piece of braised meat for the old man. The old man took a bite and chewed it for a long time. The little beggar picked up a piece of lotus root for himself and drank some water. It was so fragrant. No wonder those people lined up to buy it. The boss was really amazing to make such delicious food.

Seeing that the little beggar was satisfied with his meal, the old man ate a few bites himself, but in the end he let the little beggar finish the rest.

Gu Feng watched the grandfather and grandson share the food, and watched the little beggar skillfully take a dirty handkerchief dipped in cold water and put it on the old man's forehead. He guessed that the old man must be sick. A sick old man and a child who can't stand on his own. Gu Feng could fully foresee that if no one took care of them, they might not survive this winter.

Gu Feng could tell from the moment the child opened the lotus leaf that it was his husband's stewed food, and that the two buns were specially put there by his husband this morning. Without further hesitation, Gu Feng jumped down from the top of the wall. The little beggar was so scared that he took a step back, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that it was Gu Feng.

The little beggar pretended to be calm and asked, "What do you want to do, benefactor?" Then he hugged his grandfather tightly with both hands.

Gu Feng said: "I have an extra room in my house, would you like to go back with me?"

The little beggar and the old man looked at each other. The man in front of them didn't look like a good person, especially the way he appeared. It seemed like he was going to rob and sell people, which was almost the case.

The old man shook his head. He was a little better after eating something, but only slightly better than before. His voice was still hoarse as he said slowly, "Go, Gouzi. I'm old and I've lived enough. As long as Gouzi lives well, that's all."

The little beggar said anxiously, "Grandpa! I won't leave." Tears welled up in his eyes, "I will support you... woohoo."

Gu Feng rubbed his brows and said with a headache: "Grandpa, come with me. I have two children at home. You can help me take care of them." Then he turned to the little beggar and asked, "How old are you?"

The little beggar was at a loss: "Seven years old."

Gu Feng nodded: "You are older than the other two children in the family, so you will be the eldest brother from now on."

Seeing that the little beggar was still confused, Gu Feng explained stiffly: "You have also seen my husband, he is the one who feeds you, he is kind-hearted and will not let me watch him die. Besides, he is also very busy, you have to help him with work."

What can such a young child do? Gu Feng just wanted these two to choose to go with him. He had no idea whether his husband was willing or not. But since he had seen them, it was fate, and he couldn't just ignore it. Just like when he brought Xiaoxue and Xiaoyan back home.

The old man understood and became a little excited for a moment. He thought of kowtow, which made his face even redder.

The little beggar also understood that this fierce-looking man was actually the husband of the man who gave her the buns. He immediately let down his guard and knelt down and kowtowed.

Gu Feng quickly stopped him: "The old man is sick and you are injured. Let's go to the clinic first." Gu Feng carried the old man out without saying a word, and the little beggar picked up an old bag and hurriedly followed.

Qiao Yu wanted to go home early to rest because of health reasons. He and Wen Ge'er waited on the oxcart outside the town early in the morning. Because there was no one to lean on, Qiao Yu didn't want to sit on the wooden board directly, so Wen Ge'er dragged him to visit the farmers' market outside the town. Qiao Yu was surprised to find taro, which was relatively small and might be wild. Qiao Yu bought a small pile for 15 cents and went back to steam taro rice or roast it to eat.

Wen Ge'er bought a pair of cotton shoes for each of his parents, which cost 20 cents a pair, which was cheap and could be worn in winter.

Qiao Yu also bought a pair for her husband, as Gu Feng did a lot of physical work, so his shoes would wear out. She also bought needles and thread from the peddler, hoping to find some cotton cloth at home to sew more socks. Finally, Qiao Yu also bought some bamboo products, winnowing baskets of various sizes, bamboo mats for drying dried fruits and vegetables, bamboo tubes for holding water, and ten bamboo cups.

Lin Da helped put the things on the ox cart, and then the three of them waited for Gu Feng. Qiao Yu thought Gu Feng would only be selling snakes for a short time, but she didn't expect that they would have to wait for more than half an hour.

When Qiao Yu saw Gu Feng carrying a cotton-padded quilt in one hand and supporting an old man with the other, with a little kid beside him carrying medicine and a bag on his back, she raised her eyebrows.

My goodness, how could my husband transform me into two living people at once?

Wen Ge'er opened his mouth in surprise: "Is this Brother Gu's relative?" Qiao Ge'er had told him about Gu Feng's life experience early in the morning and knew that his parents were no longer around.

Qiao Yu shook his head and asked Lin Da to go up and help take the things.

When the little carrot head came closer, Qiao Yu recognized him as the little beggar. He looked at Gu Feng with a questioning look. Gu Feng scratched his head and urged, "Get in the car first."

In the car, Qiao Yu poked Gu Feng with her hand, meaning to ask him what was going on. Gu Feng whispered in her husband's ear and told him the general situation. While they were talking, Gou Zi kept looking at Qiao Yu nervously. He was afraid that the two would quarrel because of this matter. After all, there is a big difference between feeding someone and taking someone home.

When Qiao Yu heard that the little beggar was beaten all over for protecting the buns he gave him, he looked at the little beggar worriedly. The little beggar was so scared that he quickly avoided his sight and turned to look at his grandfather.

Gu Feng said: "We are going to build a new house anyway, so we will let them live in the old one. They can help us raise chickens and farm. It's good to have two more pairs of chopsticks. Otherwise, they may not survive this winter."

Qiao Yu looked at him deeply. She didn't expect that her husband was so conscious. After all, there were too few people like him in this era.

Gu Feng couldn't tell Qiao Yu's expression, and thought he was unhappy, so he assured her, "Don't worry, Qiao'er, your husband will make a lot of money and won't let you suffer. I will do all the housework in the future, and you just take the money."

Qiao Yu chuckled and pinched her husband's serious face with her hand: "Are you made of iron? You help me with work and go hunting in the mountains. You basically do all the housework. I'll be so distressed if you take on more work. There is no shortage of food at home now, don't worry." Then she said seriously: "But you need to discuss important matters with me first in the future, understand?"

Gu Feng nodded with his face rubbed like a pig's head, which made Qiao Yu laugh.

Brother Wen is often shown off in affection, it’s unbearable to watch.
