Joe's Farming

One day in mid-June, the first lotus flower bloomed in the lotus pond of Lingyun Villa.

It is a pair of pink and white lotus flowers, which has a good meaning.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yu excitedly invited Xu Yuan and his wife to come and appreciate the lotus together.

When Xu Yuan brought Xu Ning and his parents, several lotus flowers had bloomed in the lotus pond.

"It emerges from the mud without being stained, and washes in the clear water without being coquettish. How beautiful, how beautiful." Xu Yuan praised.

Qiao Yu nodded.

The children sat in a row by the pool, exclaiming "Wow" from time to time. Qiao Yu asked them what was wrong.

Gu Xiaoxue: "Little Daddy, I saw a fish blowing bubbles."

Li Xin: "Where is it?"

Qiao Xing pointed to a part of the water surface where there were still layers of ripples that had not disappeared.

Li Xin tried to look carefully, but still didn't see anything. He couldn't help but sigh, "Children's eyes are sharper."

"Speaking of fish, aren't the rice fish in our house all crucian carp? They have grown for a few months now and should weigh half a pound. Do you want to eat some?" Qiao Yu asked.

Three little ones: "Yes!"

Xu Yuan also nodded: "Whatever Brother Qiao cooks, Aning and I will eat it."

Li Xin: "Brother, I am so happy to have delicious food every day with you."

Gu Feng: "I'll go catch it."

"Hey, how can you do it alone?" Qiao Yu shouted.

Gu Feng raised his eyebrows: "I'll go get a fish basket and catch them. You can see if it works then."

Qiao Yu stopped talking. She really wanted to be a strong man all her life.

The three little ones quickly followed Gu Feng, and Qiao Xing said that he wanted to help his father. Gu Xiaoxue and Gu Xiaoyan nodded vigorously.

Gu Feng rubbed their heads one by one and said, "Go and look after little daddy. I'll kill the fish for you later."

Qiao Xing said: "No problem."

Gu Xiaoyan: "Brother, I don't know how to do it."

Gu Xiaoxue poked his little face and said, "If you don't know how to do it, just learn it."

"Hahaha, okay."

Seeing the three little ones running towards him obediently, Qiao Yu waved and said, "Go to the villa and bring us two pots of tea."

The three little ones immediately turned around and ran back to the villa.

Xu Yuan enviously said, "I wish my and Aning's children could be as sensible as this in the future."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "The three of them have always been very sensible and never made me worry. You and Xu Ning have such good personalities, so the children will surely not be much worse."

Xu Ning nodded in agreement: "My husband's child must be very smart."

Xu Yuan smiled and took his hand.

Li Xin saw Gu Feng coming out with a fish basket and ran over shouting, "Second Brother Gu, I want to catch fish too."

Gu Feng glanced at his husband.

Qiao Yu nodded: "Let him catch it."

Gu Feng gave Li Xin a fish basket.

The two took the fish basket to the paddy field, and Qiao Yu and others followed them to find a place with shade to stand and watch.

After a while, a group of onlookers gathered around, including the staff and guests of the villa.

Even Xu Yuan's parents and father-in-law came.

"Hey, what delicious food is Qiao planning to make now?" asked Mrs. Xu.

Qiao Yu said generously: "I thought the crucian carp in the rice field should be about 300-400 grams by now, so I'll use it to cook and try it. Aunt and uncle, come and eat together later."

Father Xu: "I always eat at your house every time I come back. How can I feel comfortable with that?"

Xu Yuan: "What's the big deal? Brother Qiao and I are brothers. If you two elders don't allow me, I will bring Aning here every day to eat for free."

"Brat!" Father Xu glared at Xu Yuan.

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "Uncle, it's just about adding a pair of chopsticks. If it weren't for Ayuan, I don't know when my villa would be repaired. He is my God of Wealth, I can worship him every day."

Madam Xu also scolded, "The two children are having a good time, why are you being so polite? Brother Qiao, your aunt will have to come over to taste the new food."

"Okay!" Qiao Yu looked at Father Xu and Little Father Xu again, "Uncle Xu and Uncle Bai are here too."

Xu Xiaodie looked at Xu Ning, and Xu Ning smiled and nodded: "Come on."

Xiao Chengzi said happily: "Great! I like eating fish!"

Xu Xiaodie: "Did you forget about the fish bone that got stuck last time?"

Xiao Chengzi lowered his head and whispered, "I will be very careful this time and eat slowly."

"Ah! The net is here! The net is here!"

Suddenly, Li Xin shouted happily.

He excitedly ran to Qiao Yu in two steps with the fish basket and showed him a crucian carp in the basket. Qiao Yu looked at the size and thought it was okay and edible.

"Just one?"

Qiao Yu asked.

Li Xin nodded vigorously: "Well, this is my first time catching a fish, and I caught it so quickly!"

Qiao Yu pointed to the schools of fish that could be seen everywhere in the paddy fields.

"But I have a lot of fish fry in my rice fields. Look there, there, all over."

At this time, Qiao Xing and Gu Xiaoxue came with kettles, while Gu Xiaoyan held a bamboo cup for drinking water.

"Little Daddy, drink some water."

"Hey, be good!"

Qiao Yu touched everyone's head one by one, and then distributed cups of water to everyone.

Li Xin continued to proudly show his achievements to the children, and the children praised him for being so good.

"Li Xin."

Gu Feng called him.

Li Xin quickly turned around: "Hey, here I come."

It turned out that Gu Feng's fish basket was half full, so Gu Feng wanted to exchange fish baskets with him.

Li Xin looked at the obvious contrast between the two and finally understood why his brother looked down on him just now.

He poured the fish from his basket into another basket, then handed his basket to Gu Feng: "Here, here. I'd better stay here quietly."

Gu Feng smiled and shook his head: "Go ahead. Ask Qiao Er if these are enough. If not, I'll go get another fish basket."

Li Xin returned to Qiao Yu with the fish in her arms: "Your husband asked if these fish are enough to eat?"

Qiao Yu took a look and saw that there were about twenty fish in half a basket. Gu Feng was still catching some. Conservatively speaking, three fish per person should be enough.

"That's enough. Come back and rest. Do you want some water?"

Li Xin stepped onto the ridge barefoot and sat directly on the grass: "Hello, I've only been out in the sun for a short while and I'm dying of thirst."

Qiao Yu poured him a glass of water, and Li Xin drank it in one gulp. Looking at Gu Feng's agile movements in the field, he sighed:

"What on earth did your husband eat to grow up? He's so good at everything he does. I just spent a long time trying to catch a fish, but while you're showing off to you, he's already caught half a basket of fish."

Qiao Yu pushed his head and said, "He is a hunter, so his hands-on ability must be better than that of a young master like you."

Gu Xiaoxue also comforted Li Xin: "Brother Li Xin, you can't compare with my father, you have to compare with Uncle Xu."

After hearing this, Xu Yuan looked at Xu Ning in confusion.

Xu Ning couldn't help but smile.

Xu Yuan immediately felt sad: "Aning also thinks that I am about the same as Xin Ge'er?"

Xu Ning immediately shook her head, her eyes firm: "My husband is definitely better than Brother Xin."

Li Xin: "Help me, please don't include me in your show of affection!"

Qiao Yu laughed loudly on the side.

Xiao Chengzi blinked his big eyes and asked blankly: "What does it mean to show affection?"
