Joe's Farming

By the time the bailiffs took the man away, Qiao Yu had just finished eating the fried skewers.

Mrs. Xie: "This bug is scary, but it tastes surprisingly good."

Qiao Yu praised sincerely: "I like people like you who are brave enough to accept new things. Do you want more? I'll go get some more."

Madam Xie glanced at her husband who was very angry with Fan Daniu and others, and said with a smile: "Give me two skewers to take away, I'll give them to him to try. He will definitely not be in the mood to stay for dinner."

Qiao Yu agreed and asked Da Zhuang to pack the things for his wife with oil paper.

Madam Xie looked at Xie Tianyu who didn't want to leave: "Tianyu, do you want to stay or go back with us?"

Xie Tianyu: "I want to come back later."

"That's fine. Your father and I will go back first. I'll have the driver pick you up later."

Xie Tianyu nodded.

"Father, please go back and try the case."

It seems that Xie Tianyu and Mrs. Xie both know Xie Changyu's temper.

Xie Changyu apologized to Qiao Yu and Gu Feng, "I was not strict enough in my administration. I didn't expect there would be such bullies bullying the neighbors. I am really ashamed."

Qiao Yu quickly stood up and waved his hands: "Your Excellency is too kind. Even children who are taught by their parents are not obedient, let alone they have not been taught by you. You are the best official I have ever seen, really."

Xu Yuan also stood up and bowed, saying, "Brother Qiao is right. My Lord, don't belittle yourself. I have seen and remembered all the good things you have done for the people."

Xie Changyu pursed his lips and smiled bitterly: "I'll go back first. This fair was very well organized, very good." It would have been even better if those three bastards weren't there.

Qiao Yu, Gu Feng, and Xu Yuan and his wife saw Xie Changyu and Mrs. Xie off, and it was time for lunch.

Seeing that most of the people from the town went into the villa to eat, the villagers who set up stalls packed up their things and prepared to go home to rest for a while before coming back.

If something sold well in the morning, I would go home and replenish the stock.

Soon, there were only a few stalls left at the market.

The business at the villa was so good that Qiao Yu invited Xu Yuan and his family to dine at her home so they wouldn't have to wait for a table.

Xie Tianyu naturally went home with the three little ones to eat.

Qiao Xing and his friends had good business this morning. Only a dozen potatoes out of ten kilograms were left unsold.

Gu Xiaoyan said happily: "Brother, do we need to prepare some more potatoes this afternoon?"

Qiao Xing: "Are you tired?"

Gu Xiaoxue: "We are not tired!"

Gu Xiaoyan nodded: "Well, not tired!"

Xie Tianyu: "I can also help in the afternoon."

Gu Xiaoyan: "Okay, okay. Brother Tianyu will collect the money, so grandpa doesn't have to watch over us and can go around."

"But I want to go shopping too." Qiao Xing said to Gu Xiaoyan.

Gu Xiaoyan smiled embarrassedly: "Oh, big brother is right. Brother Tianyu, you have helped us a lot this morning, go shopping more in the afternoon."

"Ah."

Xiao Chengzi followed Xu Ning obediently and whispered, "Brother, I want to help Dad sell plums this afternoon, too."

Xu Ning: "We sold quite a lot this morning, let's talk about it this afternoon."

Xiao Chengzi pouted: "Okay."

Xu Xiaodie: "Keep selling. Sales were good this morning."

Xu Ning felt that the family was not short of money now, so he let the two fathers experience the fun of selling things, but he didn't want to make them too tired.

Xu Yuan knew what her husband meant, and quickly said, "I am tired. Let's go to the market as a family this afternoon. I see a lot of things I have never seen before."

When Xu Xiaodie heard what his son-in-law said, he immediately agreed.

Because the weather is hot, I made vegetable porridge for lunch, fried potatoes with garlic sprouts, Chinese cabbage with oil residue, cold wild vegetables, cold cucumbers, stir-fried water spinach, etc.

Qiao Yu asked someone to bring out a large bowl of sour pickles.

Although it wasn't a big meal, everyone enjoyed it. Even Xie Tianyu, who was suffering from the bitter summer, ate two bowls of porridge for the first time.

After the meal, Xie Tianyu thanked him seriously: "Uncle Gu and Uncle Qiao, the food is delicious, thank you for the hospitality."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "As long as Tianyu likes it. Do you want to take a nap? Let Qiao Xing take you there."

Xie Tianyu looked at Qiao Xing: "Do you want to take a nap?"

Qiao Xing had just tasted the sweetness of doing business and was planning to take a break before going down the mountain to continue preparing for the afternoon stall. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "I want to go down and wash the potatoes."

Gu Xiaoyan hurriedly said: "I want to go too."

Gu Xiaoxue insisted on taking a nap like her little daddy.

Finally, Xie Tianyu followed Qiao Xing and Gu Xiaoyan to prepare.

Qiao Yu was a little worried and said, "Isn't it a bit bad for the young master to come to my house and work?"

Gu Feng was puzzled: "Is there anything wrong with children liking to play together?"

Xu Yuan also smiled and said, "Young Master Tianyu seems to like being with the children. I think he is very happy, let him be."

"Doesn't he have the same expression all the time? How do you know he's happy?" Qiao Yu wondered.

Xu Yuan smiled with curved eyebrows: "Intuition."

"Brother Qiao, Brother Gu, we are going back too. See you at the market in the afternoon." Xu Yuan continued.

The two families said goodbye to each other. Xiao Chengzi hugged Qiao Yu's legs, raised his head and said to Qiao Yu sweetly: "The food at my brother's house is delicious. Can you come to eat in the future, Xiao Chengzi?"

Xu Ning: "Xiao Chengzi!"

"Hahaha, sure, come when you want to eat." Qiao Yu touched the little one's head.

Xu Xiaodie was embarrassed: "The child is greedy."

"It's okay, Xiao Chengzi can come over anytime. The three children also like Xiao Chengzi." He gets along so well with Xiao Chengzi's brother and brother-in-law, so this little meal is nothing to him.

Moreover, Xiao Chengzi is very well-behaved and obedient. He just likes to eat a little bit. What child doesn’t like to eat?

Xiao Chengzi was very happy and said loudly: "Thank you, Brother Qiao Yu."

Qiao Yu always felt something was wrong, then she remembered that Xiao Chengzi seemed to call Xiao Xing and the others brothers and sisters. But it was not wrong for him to call himself brother, because he was Xu Ning's biological brother.

It’s still my fault that my body is too young, Qiao Yu held his forehead with his hand.

After seeing Xu Yuan and the others off, Qiao Yu and Gu Feng went back to their room to rest. As soon as Qiao Yu returned to his room, he took off his outer clothes, leaving only his loose inner clothes.

Gu Feng was fine, he was wearing a short jacket that farmers usually wear in summer, made of cotton and linen, not hot but sweat-absorbent. Qiao Yu had been thinking about how to modify his brother's summer clothes, he still had to wear an inner coat and an outer coat, which was equivalent to wearing two coats.

Fortunately, the heat here is not sweltering, and it is cool as long as there is shade. So it is not difficult to endure.

But Qiao Yu has a special physical condition now, so he is a little afraid of heat.

I miss fans and air conditioners very much. Seeing that her husband was hot, Gu Feng took out a large cattail leaf fan to fan him.

Qiao Yu thought, that’s fine, it’s an “automatic fan” now.

Qiao Yu was a little sleepy now that he was full, and an hour had passed when he woke up in the afternoon.
