Joe's Farming

The children, who were exhausted from playing at the beach, returned to the inn, had lunch and then took a nap obediently.

Qiao Yu hadn't swum for a long time and felt a little tired.

So he pulled Gu Feng to take a nap together.

Gu Heng slept on the couch in the outer room, separated from them by a screen.

Qiao Yu secretly kissed Gu Feng.

In the end, he got really angry and could only shut up and endure it silently.

……

In the end, Qiao Yu didn’t know when he fell asleep.

All he could hear was the sound of Gu Feng wringing out his handkerchief, and the sound of Gu Heng saying he wanted to go find his brother and sister after he woke up.

-

Qiao Yu slept until the evening.

When I got up, I was sore all over, partly from swimming and partly from the other exercise.

He changed his clothes.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard Xu Yuan calling him: "Brother Qiao, come quickly. We are ready to order food and want to hear your opinion."

Qiao Yu pretended to be calm and went downstairs.

I casually took the menu and ordered two signature dishes.

The rest is up to the kids to order.

As soon as Qiao Yu sat down, Gu Feng asked him if he felt unwell.

Qiao Yu said angrily, "My whole body aches."

Gu Heng's ears were pointed: "Daddy, where does it hurt?"

His voice was quite loud and everyone looked at him at once.

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning spoke at the same time.

"What's wrong?"

"injured?"

Qiao Yu:......

Gu Feng: ...

Qiao Yu smiled awkwardly: "Nothing, I just haven't swam for a long time and my arms are sore."

Xu Yuan understood: "Well, this is what happens when you stay still for a long time and then suddenly move. Aning, do you remember before..."

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning went to reminisce.

But Gu Heng crossed his arms and looked at him with a pout: "Daddy went swimming secretly without me! Humph~~"

The older children were also stunned. They didn't expect that Hengzi was angry about this.

Although they also wanted to swim, the sea was too big and they never thought about it.

Qiao Yu quickly looked at Gu Feng.

Gu Feng: "Next year, my family will build a swimming pool. The sea is too dangerous."

This time, the children were all excited.

"Really? Daddy."

"Well, really."

Gu Heng smiled and nodded with a smile in his eyes: "Okay! Daddy's words are trustworthy~"

Xu Ningxi also looked at his two fathers.

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "Xiao Xi wants to swim too?"

Xu Ningxi nodded vigorously.

"Build it! Let's build a swimming pool at home!"

Xu Ningxi happily shook her sister's hand: "Happy."

Xie Tianyu suddenly felt a little envious. He had never thought about swimming, nor had he ever thought about having a swimming pool at home.

Dinner was still sumptuous.

The two families never asked the guards to wait until they had eaten before eating, and they ordered food for them at another table.

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning also ordered some wine.

After dinner, the children wanted to go out for a walk, so the guards quickly followed them.

The two adults were toasting each other in the inn, drinking happily.

This kind of life is so comfortable that Qiao Yu feels that she can come here every year in the future.

Xu Yuan and Xu Ning also think Nanyang is a great place.

"By the way, Brother Qiao. Are you going to the port tomorrow? It's a good opportunity to visit our store."

Their coconut chicken shop was located in the most prosperous port, where shops were too expensive, with an annual rent of one thousand taels.

But the traffic is really high.

Moreover, not only are the merchants on the ships rich, but the crew members are also willing to spend money.

The business has been very good since the store opened. The investment was recovered in just three months.

"Okay. Shall we go eat soy milk and fried dough sticks early tomorrow?"

Qiao Yu gave this shop a recipe for fried dough sticks, and he was craving for them after not having them for two days.

Of course Xu Yuan agreed.

"Let's go to the port tomorrow, hoping to meet Lucas." Qiao Yu said to Gu Feng.

"It doesn't matter if you don't see them. There must be other foreigners there. Qiao Er can buy whatever he wants this time."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "It seems that you came prepared this time."

Gu Feng said "hmm" very immodestly.

Qiao Yu laughed out loud.

Only Brother Gu dared to show off his wealth in front of the richest man in Taoyuan.

-

There is no curfew in Nanyang at night.

Maritime trade attracted countless merchants to Nanyang City.

Nature also nourishes numerous inns and taverns.

It was the first time for the children to see such a lively place other than a lantern festival or a mountain village market.

The streets were brightly lit, with taverns and inns being the most popular.

There are also street vendors selling various small items.

There is even a stall selling barbecued seafood.

The little guys originally came out to digest their food.

But when he saw a stall selling sugar figures, he ran over immediately.

The older children and the guards hurriedly chased after him, fearing that they would accidentally lose the child.

Gu Heng looked at the old man making candy figures and stretched out a finger.

"Grandpa, we'll each have a candy man!"

The old man thought he was cute and pointed at the turntable with a smile: "Little guest, please turn it yourself and make the one you like."

Gu Heng glanced at Xu Ninghuan: "Xiao Huan, you go first. Daddy said that girls should be given priority."

Although Xu Ninghuan was a little unhappy that Gu Heng didn't call her sister, she forgave him because he let her turn first.

Xu Ninghuan turned to a flower.

Xu Ningxi turned to a peach.

Gu Heng turned to a phoenix, which was the largest pattern inside.

Xiao Chengzi spun a monkey, and Gu Xiaoyan spun a flower.

The other three older children didn't want to eat candy, so they waited by the side.

When the old man was done, he said to Gu Heng, "My dear, this is forty coins in total."

Gu Heng licked his phoenix and said confidently: "Grandpa, I have no money."

Xu Ningxi was stunned, and looked at Xu Ninghuan helplessly: "Sister, do we have money?"

Xu Ningxi shook his head.

uncle:……

Qiao Xing hurried forward, took out his purse and counted out the money to the old man: "Forty cents, please count it."

The old man waved his hand, put the coins in his pocket, and continued to receive the next guest.

Gu Heng said obediently: "Thank you, brother!"

Qiao Xing touched his head and said, "It's okay. I brought it."

Gu Xiaoyan said happily: "I knew that big brother must have brought it. Big brother, can I have that bracelet over there?"

Not far from them, there were two little girls making bracelets and wind chimes out of shells.

Qiao Xing said, "Okay. Go and choose. I'll give one to everyone."

Gu Xiaoyan: "Then I'll choose one for Brother Tianyu as well."

Qiao Xing: ...

Gu Xiaoxue: ...

Xie Tianyu hurriedly said: "Xiaoyan, I have money on me. I'll buy it for you."

Gu Xiaoyan finished the candy in two or three bites, then nodded happily: "Okay! Thank you, Brother Tianyu, then I will choose one for you too."

Xie Tianyu smiled and said, "Okay."

Gu Xiaoxue was attracted by a crystal bracelet at another stall, which was being sold by a foreigner. He spoke in authentic Dayan dialect and said that the stone was a very rare mineral and that it would be very expensive to polish it.

The price is two hundred coins per string.

Gu Xiaoxue also brought a purse with her and gritted her teeth and bought two pink ones.

One for myself and one for my dad.

Qiao Xing took a fancy to the wind chime and planned to buy it as a gift for his grandfather.

Little Orange looked at the colorful shells with some annoyance, thinking that the gift he had given to his elder brother in the morning was just average. However, his elder brother didn't like jewelry, and the wind chime cost twenty cents, which he was reluctant to part with, so in the end he didn't buy anything.

The three children had no interest in the jewelry. Instead, they were more interested in the wooden carvings of birds, fish and dogs next to them.

In the end, everyone chose a favorite animal and returned to the inn happily.
