Joe's Farming

People in Shangtian Village do not make mooncakes. Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for family reunions. Those with better conditions eat dumplings, while those without them just cook noodles with lard.

So when Wen Ge'er heard these two words, he was a little puzzled: "Moon cake? A cake that looks like the moon?"

Please forgive Wen Ge’er’s poor imagination, he would never have thought that mooncakes are sweet.

Qiao Yu laughed and said, "It is indeed a round cake, but it is not quite right to say that it looks like a cake. It should be a round snack. It is best eaten while appreciating the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, symbolizing reunion."

Qiao Yu gestured as he spoke.

Gu Heng smiled appreciatively, as if agreeing with his father's words.

When Gu Feng and Wang Jie heard Qiao Yu talking about mooncakes, they stopped talking and listened carefully to what Qiao Yu said.

"Mooncakes come with fillings, which are usually sweet. I just smelled the fragrance of osmanthus and suddenly wanted to eat mooncakes with osmanthus and chestnut fillings."

As Qiao Yu spoke, he swallowed his saliva and said that he would add some butter to the filling. It would definitely taste good with its milky flavor.

Gu Feng always gives his full support to the new food that Qiao Yu makes.

So he said to him, "Qiao'er, do you want chestnuts? I'll go up the mountain to pick them tomorrow."

Qiao Yu said happily: "Okay, okay, I want to go too."

Wen Geer looked at Wang Jie and said, "I want to go too."

Wang Jie nodded: "Let's go. After two days of rest, we will go too!"

Gu Feng's lips curled up slightly: "Then I won't pick them all up, I'll leave some for you."

Wang Jie didn't know how to refute, so he could only complain loudly: "You have two trees planted on your own hill, why are you trying to snatch the hill from us?"

Gu Feng said as a matter of course: "The two trees at the villa are not ripe yet, so we have to wait for a while. Besides, a customer has reserved those two trees and wants to pick them himself. I will pick them for you if you pay me."

Wang Jie looked at Qiao Yu and said, "Qiao, please take care of your husband. We have been neighbors for so many years, and you still want to talk to me about money."

Qiao Yu was overjoyed. Gu Feng would only joke with people he was familiar with.

His expression was so serious even though he was joking that it was hard to tell whether it was real or fake.

"He's teasing you."

Wen Ge'er also laughed at her husband: "Fool."

"By the way, we just talked about osmanthus mooncakes. Do we need to pick some osmanthus flowers?" Wen Ge'er suddenly asked.

Qiao Yu nodded: "Yes, but there is one in my yard, and there is one in Xu Yuan's yard, so we can just pick the one from there."

Wen Ge'er became excited at the thought of new food.

"Then let's go back quickly. Today is a full moon, and it's bright and we can see clearly."

As he said that, he hurried back holding Gu Heng.

Qiao Yu chased after him: "Hey, walk slower! You can't walk so fast when taking a walk."

Gu Heng seemed to think it was fun to have his daddy chasing him, so he looked at him while smiling and waving his little hands.

When Wen Ge'er noticed this, he started walking faster with the child in his arms, almost jogging.

Before Qiao Yu could say anything, Gu Feng chased after her.

"Brother Wen, it's dangerous."

Gu Feng said.

Wen Ge'er blushed, forgetting that this was someone else's child and his father would definitely be afraid of dropping him.

Brother Wen quickly returned Gu Heng to Gu Feng and apologized, "I'm sorry... I forgot that Hengzi is still young."

"It's okay." Gu Feng calmly took the child, feeling that the child would be safe only in his arms.

Qiao Yu smiled awkwardly at Wen Ge'er and said, "It's okay, it's okay. Look, Hengzi was so happy that he was dancing with joy just now."

Gu Feng also said to Wen Ge'er: "I don't mean anything else. I would be worried if Qiao'er hugged me like this."

"Yeah. I know." Brother Wen said with a smile.

Wang Jie walked up to Wen Ge'er and touched his head with his hand: "You're still running around with Hengzi in the middle of the night. I'd be scared too."

Wen Ge'er blushed and whispered, "I know I was wrong."

Wang Jie went to hold his hand and held it firmly: "From now on, I will hold your hand. You can run wherever you want. I will protect you and the child."

Wen Ge'er's face turned even redder.

In the end, Qiao Yu rejected Wen Ge'er's suggestion to pick osmanthus flowers at night.

"I'll ask someone to pick them tomorrow morning. You guys go back and have some rest. Well, you guys should also work harder. You should hold my Hengzi every day."

Wen Ge'er turned and left after hearing that. After Qiao Yu got married, she dared to say anything embarrassing.

"Brother Wen, wait for me." Wang Jie immediately chased after him.

Qiao Yu stuck out her tongue at Gu Feng: "Brother Wen is still so shy."

Gu Feng: ...

Early the next morning, Ling Lie went to the town again to meet Zhang Quan.

Qiao Yu asked Xia He and others to pick osmanthus flowers for her.

Xia He: "Does the boss want to make a sachet for the Second Master?"

Qiao Yu thought about her poor embroidery skills and the corners of her mouth twitched: "Ha...ha, Sister Xia He, you think too highly of me.

Qing Ge embroidered this sachet better than me.

I want this osmanthus to be eaten."

Xia He nodded in understanding: "Oh, do you want to make osmanthus cake?"

Qiao Yu shook her head: "No, another kind of snack. It's called mooncake."

Xia He stopped asking questions, because she had never heard of what Qiao Yu said. The name sounded quite interesting.

Gu Feng and the three kids were waiting for him in the yard, each carrying a backpack. Gu Feng also had a small one for Qiao Yu.

Seeing that he had finished talking to Xia He, he went to cuddle with Gu Heng in Bai Lan's arms and said, "Daddy is leaving. Be good at home."

Gu Xiaoyan whispered, "Little Daddy, run quickly before my brother starts crying."

"I'm coming."

Sure enough, after Qiao Yu and Gu Feng left, Gu Heng finally realized that these two fathers had left him alone again.

"Wow——"

A loud cry sounded in the yard, and Bai Lan immediately stuffed the prepared bottle into Gu Heng's mouth.

Gu Heng drank the sweet milk and began to concentrate on drinking it.

Bai Lan breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the child loves to drink milk. Since the sheep's milk was replaced with cow's milk, his appetite has improved a lot. Moreover, Gu Heng is very focused when drinking milk, and his body has become stronger. Bai Lan feels very accomplished when holding him.

Li Xin had nothing to do today, so he went to the villa to play with Song Xiaoyu.

Song Xiaoyu has a good temper and Li Xin likes to herd sheep and cattle with him.

Song Xiaoyu took care of him for the whole morning, and at the end she taught him how to milk cows. Li Xin, a rich second-generation, had never done that before, and he was so flustered that he was almost kicked by a cow.

When he got up from the ground, he saw Ling Lie holding a piece of grass in his mouth and looking at him with a smile on his face.

Li Xin immediately got angry and yelled, "What are you laughing at? It's almost time for dinner, why don't you go to the kitchen and cook your food?"

Ling Lie walked over with a smile, helped him up, and then extended his hand to him.

Li Xin looked confused: "What?"

Ling Lie still smiled good-naturedly and said, "My handkerchief, are you not going to return it to me?"
