Joe's Farming

Rumbling--

There was a loud noise in the sky.

It looks like it’s going to rain heavily!

"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Harvest the grain!"

"Boss! It's raining! It's going to rain!"

"It's going to rain!"

"Hahahaha! It's raining!"

A few days ago, Qiao Yucai had people harvest the rice early, but unexpectedly they just happened to avoid the first autumn rain.

Other farmers in Shangtian Village rushed to the fields to harvest. They were happy that it finally rained, but they were also worried that the crops would get moldy if they were not harvested in time.

For a moment, the whole village was filled with busy figures.

Lingyun Villa had the most manpower, and they had harvested all the grain before the raindrops had completely fallen.

"Zhang Shan, go back and harvest your family's food. Xiao Si, bring others to help."

Everyone finally has hope, and we can’t let this long-awaited rain ruin everything.

"Hey!"

The rain came too late, and people who had been suffering from drought for more than half a year were afraid that the rain would not last long.

In addition to buckets, every household also took out their pots, pans, and utensils to collect water.

Rumbling--

The rain gathered at the eaves and flowed down like small waterfalls.

Qiao Yu reached out to catch it, feeling the rain hitting her palms, and the children followed suit.

Soon our sleeves were wet, but everyone was laughing happily.

Gu Feng and Gu Gang followed the guards to help with the harvest. Now only Qiao Yu and Hong Xiu are at home looking after the children.

It's evening now and time to prepare dinner.

Qiao Yu originally wanted to just cook some food to get by, but now she wanted to celebrate properly.

He put on his straw raincoat, told the children to listen carefully to Hongxiu's words, and went down the mountain by himself.

The soil on the stone steps was washed by rain and became very clean.

The lotus pond, which had dried up half a month ago, now has a small puddle of water because of its low terrain, and the water is still expanding.

Qiao Yu knocked on Ling Lie and Li Xin’s door.

The couple was playing cards with Gu Xi, and they couldn't hide their surprise when they saw Qiao Yu coming.

"Brother, why are you here? It's very dangerous in the heavy rain."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "It's because it's raining heavily that I'm happy, so I want Ling Lie to kill a pig for me, and I'll treat everyone to a pig-killing meal."

Gu Xi threw down the cards: "That's great, Ling Lie, why don't you go quickly."

Ling Lie rolled his eyes at him and said, "Come with me."

Gu Xi stretched out her hands: "You can ask me to cut pig balls, but I don't know how to kill pigs."

Qiao Yu smiled and said, "We really need your help. Except for Ling Lie who didn't go to harvest because of Li Xin, all the men in the villa went to help."

Gu Xi: ...

So Gu Xi followed Ling Lie to the pigpen very reluctantly.

Xiaobai and Su Qing were also called along on the way.

The four of them worked together and finally killed a 300-pound pig without any danger.

What followed was Ling Lie’s solo show, where he skillfully scalded the skin, shaved the hair, and divided the meat.

Xiaobai and Su Qing cleaned the internal organs.

Qiao Yu asked Ling Lie to give him the meat and offal for the pig-killing dish first, and he cooked a big pot in the villa kitchen.

Fresh pig blood, pork and offal, plus mouth-watering sauerkraut, steaming hot and smelling delicious.

By the time he was done, the rain had eased a little and the people who had gone out to help gradually came back.

As soon as everyone returned to the villa, they smelled the strong aroma of meat.

The staple food, steamed buns, are not made of white flour, but everyone is starving at the moment, who wouldn’t be confused seeing this?

Qiao Yu had already returned home by then.

Ling Lie brought back a pot of pig-killing dishes for him, and he had asked Hongxiu to steam the buns.

Ling Lie also asked someone to bring up the remaining pork, and Qiao Yu asked someone to carry half of it back.

Let Ling Lie distribute it freely, leaving some for the reopening of the villa.

The villa has not been open for a month since we came back from Nanyang, and the food we eat is not as good as before.

After being closed for a month, it's time to reopen.

This first rain finally drizzled on until midnight.

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng slept the best sleep in the past six months to the sound of rain.

-

The news that Lingyun Villa was reopening quickly spread from the snack bar.

That afternoon, gourmets came from all over the town, calling their friends.

When Gu Xi arrived, the villa had already closed, so this was his first time to witness the appeal of Lingyun Villa to diners.

The lobby was soon filled up, and the meat that Qiao Yu asked Ling Lie to prepare yesterday was sold out in one meal.

If he didn't go to Qiao Yu's house or Li Xin's house for free meals every day, he would have been unable to resist going in and ordering a table of dishes.

Bai Ming also became busy because of the villa business.

At the beginning, Gu Xi tried to build a good relationship with Bai Ming, but Bai Ming was always cold to him, which made him feel very unhappy.

You said he is only good to Ge'er, but he is also very nice to Ling Lie.

In the end, Gu Xi gave up the idea of ​​making friends with him. He was just interested in Bai Ming, but it had not reached the level of liking him.

After he stopped trying to please someone so coldly, Bai Ming's attitude towards him became better.

Occasionally, we will take the initiative to say hello when we meet.

Gu Xi was puzzled and her heart, which had turned cold, began to stir again.

Qiao Yu is still as sensitive as ever in this regard.

On this day, Gu Xi was specially kept.

"Do you have any thoughts about Bai Ming?"

Qiao Yu went straight to the point.

Gu Xi couldn't believe it: "No way, you can see that too?"

Qiao Yu spread his hands: "It's OK, I haven't missed it."

Gu Xi sighed: "I just don't understand, my conditions are not bad compared to others, right?

You don't know, I didn't show it, I just wanted to make friends with him first, and he was like a thief on guard.

I thought, forget it and just treat him as a stranger. Hey, his attitude towards me became nicer again.

Don’t you think this guy is weird?”

Qiao Yu also sighed: "You don't know his past experiences, so you think he is strange.

For privacy reasons, I can't tell you about his past.

I can only tell you that he is a very good person, but he has a knot in his heart.

He had suffered severe psychological trauma before, so he had PTSD when he saw you like this.

If you really like him, be prepared that he may be on guard against you for a short period of time.

But once he really understands you, maybe your destiny will come.”

Gu Xi frowned: "You mean he has been hurt by someone like me before?"

"No, it should be a scumbag pretending to be someone like you. Anyway, I hope you know that his attitude towards you is not because of you. Don't think too much."

Gu Xi understood that Qiao Yu wanted to help her.

"I see. Thank you. You told me so much. Can you see that he actually has a little bit of feelings for me..."

Qiao Yu interrupted immediately, "No, I didn't see anything. I just saw you, and I hope you can succeed. Bai Ming is also my friend, and I hope he can get over that bad relationship."
