Joe's Farming

Finally, Li Xin asked the clerk in the cloth shop to help him move the large and small bags of clothes to the snack bar.

It was just past lunchtime in the snack bar and most of the tables had not been cleared yet, so Li Xin asked the waiter to put the wrapped clothes on the stool.

Hong Ge'er walked up curiously and asked, "Li Xin, did you buy all this?"

Li Xin put her hands on her hips and nodded proudly: "Yes, it's a rare day for me to come to town today, so I just happened to buy some clothes for the changing season."

"You buy so much by yourself?"

Hong Ge'er saw two piles of clothes wrapped in oil paper piled on the stool, as tall as him.

Li Xin continued proudly: "Of course I bought it for my brother and the kids too. How could I only care about myself?"

Hong Geer gave a thumbs up and said, "Great! This must have cost a lot of money, right?"

Li Xin: "No, less than 20 taels. The boss said I bought a lot and gave me a set of summer clothes as a gift. I think it's a good deal."

Hong Ge'er: ...

When I have money in the future, I will definitely send my younger brothers and sisters to school.

I heard that Li Xin is just literate and writes books at home to sell. I didn’t expect he could earn so much!

Twenty taels is enough to buy it, it's not expensive. How much does one have to earn to have such confidence?

Li Xin didn't think so much. When he chose clothes today, he didn't dare to ask the boss to buy the most expensive one. After all, the expensive ones were the ones with embroidery. His brother and he didn't need them. Only Xiaoxue's clothes had some patterns on the fabric.

For other clothes, he would touch them and buy those that felt good.

So he didn't pick the expensive ones in the store, and his aesthetic taste is similar to Qiao Yu's, the simpler the better, so these clothes are all the most basic styles.

But even so, the boss finally felt reluctant to make too much money from him and gave him a set of the cheapest clothes.

But I only spent half of the money, Li Xin thought proudly.

Because Qiao Yu told him not to spend it all, he has been restraining himself.

-

Qiao Yu originally planned to take the children and Gu Feng back home after lunch.

It turns out the kids don’t really want to leave right now.

Xie Tianyu also said that he didn't take them out to play much.

Mrs. Xie assured Qiao Yu that she would help look after the children. If it was really late, she could just stay for one night and go back the next morning.

"Oh, how can I do that? The children have never spent the night outside. I'm afraid they won't be used to it, and I can't disturb your rest."

Qiao Yu waved his hands quickly.

The three little ones had never thought of staying overnight at Xie’s house. They looked a little hesitant, but more excited.

Finally, Xie Tianyu said, "Uncle Qiao, let them stay. I want to go to the village to play tomorrow, and I can go with them. Is that okay?"

Xie Changyu: "Brother Qiao, Hunter Gu. This is the first time Tianyu has invited friends to play at home, so let them play for a while. I'll have someone send them over tomorrow morning."

Since even the county magistrate said so, Qiao Yu looked at Gu Feng to see his opinion.

Gu Feng: "Then I'm sorry to bother you, my Lord and Madam. Qiao Er and I will go back first. Xiao Xing, take good care of your brothers and sisters."

Qiao Xing: "Yes, Daddy."

Gu Xiaoxue: "Don't worry, Daddy, I will make sure Yan Bao doesn't do anything reckless."

Gu Xiaoyan retorted unhappily in a low voice: "Sister, why are you talking nonsense? When did I do anything nonsense?"

Gu Xiaoxue whispered even more: "Did you say that you would take Brother Tianyu back to catch field mice?"

Gu Xiaoyan: "Voles steal food, isn't it a good thing to catch them? Why is it so chaotic?"

Gu Xiaoxue: "Don't think I don't know that you want to eat again..."

Qiao Yu couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Okay, okay, don't catch anything tomorrow. Just follow my instructions when the time comes."

Gu Xiaoyan blushed: "Okay, little daddy."

Xie Changyu: "Tianyu, follow your uncle Qiao's arrangements."

Xie Tianyu: "Yes, father."

-

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng returned to the snack bar as soon as they left Xie's house, fearing that Li Xin would get anxious waiting for them.

Li Xin was chatting with people in Hong Ge'er's shop because he was bored.

We were having a happy chat when we saw Qiao Yu and Gu Feng coming from afar.

Li Xin waved his hands vigorously, then patted the pile of clothes beside him: "Brother! Look, I bought you a gift!"

Qiao Yu looked at Gu Feng and asked, "What did he say?"

Gu Feng smiled slightly and said, "He said he bought you a gift."

Qiao Yu held his forehead and said, "You told me not to spend money recklessly, but you bought me a gift. What am I missing now? You are such a spendthrift."

Gu Feng smiled and said, "You've been so nice to him, it's normal for him to buy you a gift. If he doesn't buy you a gift, he'd be an ungrateful person."

"Hey, he must be tired playing with the kids at home every day, right?"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.

When the carriage got closer, Qiao Yu was shocked to see the number of "gifts". "How many did you buy for me and yourself?"

Li Xin smiled with eight small white teeth showing: "Well, how could I buy only for you and myself?"

He picked up paper packages of different sizes and explained one by one: "This is for Hengzi, this is for Yanbao, this is for Xuebao... This is for you, brother, and this one is for Second Brother Gu."

Gu Feng didn't expect that he would be mentioned as well. He felt a little flattered, and also a little like what Qiao Yu had just said about him being a prodigal son.

"Why buy me a gift? I don't need it." Gu Feng said hesitantly.

Li Xin scratched his head: "Second brother, you are so good to my brother, and you are also very kind to me. I have been living and eating for free at home for so long. If it were someone else, they would definitely tell my brother and ask him to drive me away. For this reason, it is only right that I buy you a gift."

At this moment, Qiao Yu had completely forgotten what she had said to Gu Feng in the car.

His role was now completely reversed from Gu Feng's. He kept saying, "Yes, yes, yes, it should be done."

Gu Feng could only deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Don't spend money recklessly next time. Your brother and I have money."

Li Xin nodded rapidly: "Yes, yes, I understand." We'll talk about it next time!

At this time, the employee of the snack bar who had just chatted with Li Xin had already slipped away. Even though Qiao Yu and Gu Feng were easy to talk to, they were both big bosses and would still be a little scared.

Qiao Yu looked around for a long time, but still only saw Hong Ge'er.

Qiao Yu asked him to call the two Song sisters.

Last time, he always felt that the story of the Song sisters was very similar to the story of Song Xiaoyu's family, so he wanted to ask again today.

It's not that he was so idle that he had to come to his own employees to dig out the truth.

It was because after the expansion of the villa's breeding farm, Song Xiaoyu could no longer handle it alone. Although he later hired a helper, the villa's breeding farm was still short of people overall.

If Song Yingzi and Song Meizi's father is really Xiaoyu's boss, he would like to recruit him to help.

Song Xiaoyu said that his shepherd skills were all taught by his old boss.
