Joe's Farming

After the New Year’s goods market, life in the entire villa slowed down.

The number of guests at the villa gradually decreased, and Qiao Yu began to prepare to distribute year-end bonuses to everyone so that everyone could have a good new year.

The three little ones earn more and more money every year, and all of it is saved with Qiao Yu.

Together with the pocket money and New Year's money given to them by Qiao Yu and Gu Feng, they had saved dozens of taels of silver.

Qiao Yu thought they were well behaved and planned to give them some extra money. This year, he gave each of them thirty taels of silver and asked them to keep it themselves in the future.

They can do whatever they want with it.

After Qiao Xing got the silver, the first thing he did was to give fifteen taels to his grandfather.

The old man accepted it with a smile. He also saved some money for himself, waiting to help Xiaoxing get married when he grew up.

I don’t know if I can live until that time.

It snowed heavily for several days in a row.

Qiao Yu looked at the vast expanse of white outside with some worry.

It’s not that there hasn’t been such heavy snow in previous years, but never as early as it is now.

It’s not the twelfth lunar month yet.

"Brother Gu, is it colder this year than in previous years?"

Qiao Yu asked.

“I feel like it’s not much different from previous years.”

Qiao Yu just thought he was overthinking.

But the snow showed no signs of stopping.

After seven days of heavy snow, the weather became extremely good and the sun shone brightly for several days in a row.

At first, the villagers thought that this heavy snow just came a little earlier than usual and there was nothing different.

Some people also say that this is a good thing, as auspicious snow means a good harvest.

Then came another heavy snowfall without warning, and just like the previous time, it lasted for seven days in a row, but this time there was no sign of stopping.

The villa had been closed for holiday a long time ago, and with such heavy snow, no one would come to the villa even if it remained open.

The old people in the village said that they had never seen such heavy snow at this time of year.

Qiao Yu realized that there might be something wrong with the weather this year.

Although during these three years, I was just a half-baked farmer.

But he firmly believed that energy was conserved.

There is a high probability that a severe drought will follow the severe cold.

There was no advanced irrigation technology in this era, and people relied entirely on the weather.

Drought means no harvest.

So Qiao Yu asked Gu Feng to accompany him to the county overnight.

Xie Changyu was an enlightened county magistrate.

But even if he and Qiao Yu have a good relationship, it doesn't mean that he has to do things according to Qiao Yu's ideas.

What's more, all of Qiao Yu's thoughts were just speculations.

Qiao Yu finally returned disappointed.

He and Gu Feng went to find the village chief.

Tell him that this winter may be colder than any other year, and let everyone prepare for the cold in advance.

"I still have cotton. If anyone needs it, they can come to my house and buy it. I'll sell it at cost price."

Qiao Yu said.

The next day, the village chief took the patrol team and went door to door to tell Qiao Yu his speculation.

If it were another village, it might not be effective.

But the changes that Qiao Yu had undergone in the past three years made the people in the village believe in him without a doubt.

Every household in Shangtian Village got involved, some collected firewood, some repaired roofs, and those who did not have enough quilts at home went to Qiao Yu to buy cotton even if they had to buy it on credit.

Even Qiao Laosan asked his neighbor to buy cotton from Qiao Yu.

As for food, every household in Shangtian Village now has surplus food, so there is nothing to worry about for the time being.

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning were in town at that time, so Qiao Yu went to see Xu's father and asked them to pay more attention.

Qiao Yu doesn't need to worry about the people in the villa. Whatever Qiao Yu says is the truth.

Although Xie Changyu did not listen to him, he felt that he had tried his best. Of course, he also hoped that his feeling was wrong.

In the following days, Qiao Yu stayed at home.

To be precise, I stayed at home on the kang with Gu Feng.

Gu Gang and Hong Xiu brought Gu Yao over on time every day so that the two children, Gu Heng and others, could play together.

The three little ones would take the initiative to act as bodyguards for the children, watching them from the side to prevent them from getting hurt.

The adults were chatting and playing cards on the kang, discussing what gift to give to Wen Ge'er in a few days.

Wen Ge'er's family also had a baby this year, and the baby will be one month old soon. Qiao Yu plans to give him a gold locket as a gift.

The baby is a boy, as handsome as Wen.

Wen Ge'er asked Qiao Yu to give him a nice name.

Qiao Yu was given the character "Yi", in the hope that he would not be burdened by the world and would be free and easy.

Brother Wen likes it very much.

Although no one said anything about him, he has put a lot of pressure on himself in the past two years.

Qiao Yu saw this point, so she hoped that Wang Yi would not have such thoughts in the future.

The heavy snow did not stop the Wang family from holding a full-month banquet for Wang Yi.

Now Wen Ge'er is considered a powerful man in the village. At a young age, he is the manager of Lingyun Villa.

Wang Jie built a shed in the yard so that the snow would not drift in.

Ling Lie went to help early in the morning.

Prepare to give the villagers a little shock from the chef of the villa.

Li Xin and Song Xiaoyu also helped at Wang's house.

The people in the villa were sensible and waited until the villagers had finished eating before they went to the table to eat.

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng were also waiting for this time to come.

Gu Heng was dressed warmly and wore a little tiger hat embroidered for him by Wen Ge'er on his head. He looked very cute.

Gu Heng held the gift box with the small golden lock in his hand and said to Wen Ge'er in a baby voice, "Godfather, this is a safety lock for my brother. I wish my brother a long life!"

It took Qiao Yuke a long time to teach these two sentences.

Brother Wen happily kissed his godson and said, "Thank you, Hengzi. I'll play with you when your brother grows up."

Gu Heng said cheerfully: "Okay, okay. Yaoyao, come together!"

Said Gu Yao, Gu Yao is here.

Gu Gang held his daughter in his arms and walked forward, handing Wen Ge'er a thick red envelope: "For Xiao Yi."

Brother Wen accepted it with a smile.

Next, Xiaobai, Su Qing and others presented full-moon gifts one after another.

Little Wang Yi was always held by Wang Jie because the weather was too cold. Wang Jie would carry the child back into the house after just a few steps.

Aunt Shi loves this grandson very much.

In the past, Li Qiuju would definitely feel that her mother-in-law was partial, but she has been making money in the town for the past two years and has seen a lot of the world.

No longer be as fussy as before.

This time I was also busy running around at my brother-in-law's house.

Qiao Yu saw that Wen Ge'er now had her parents around and her in-laws treated her well. Not to mention Wang Jie, who had always been a well-known husband in the village for being strict with his wife.

Now that he has Xiaoyi, he can be said to be very happy, and naturally I am very happy for him.

It’s time to fulfill the vacation promised to Wen Ge’er.

When everyone heard that Wen Ge'er could take a break for half a year and still receive his salary.

Everyone looked envious.

Qiao Yu looked at Bai Lan and Xiao Bai: "You have some too, try harder!"

The two couples blushed instantly.

Gu Feng scooped a spoonful of egg custard for Gu Heng, watched him finish eating, and then whispered to Qiao Yu: "Can we also work harder?"
