Joe's Farming

half year later.

Lingyun Villa.

It is March again, the weather is sunny and the grass is green and the birds are singing.

The rainfall this year is normal and all things have been sufficiently watered, as if last year's drought was a joke from God.

"Da Zhuang! Your husband wants you to go home!"

Da Zhuang quickly put down the work in his hands and rushed home in a hurry.

When he reached the door and saw Gu Xi coming out, he was completely stunned.

A tough guy's face was about to cry: "Doctor Gu, what happened to my Xiaobai? Is he sick?"

Xiaobai has been feeling unwell these past few days, but he can't explain what's wrong when asked, and he's been feeling listless the whole time.

Now seeing Gu Xi, Da Zhuang could only think of the worst.

Gu Xi quickly stopped him: "Xiaobai is fine! You are going to be a father, you must take good care of him."

Da Zhuang let out an "Ah!" and then rushed into the house after realizing what was happening.

Xiaobai was half lying on the bed, and when she saw him come in, she smiled gently.

"You're here."

"Woo woo woo—Xiao Bai!"

Da Zhuang jumped into Xiao Bai's arms like a big dog.

"You scared me! I thought you were sick!"

Xiaobai comforted the person as if he was comforting someone with milk and bread, and finally he stopped crying.

"Da Zhuang, I'm not good at taking pulses. You should go find Doctor Zhang and confirm the extent of the pregnancy. I'm leaving first." Gu Xi shouted outside the door.

He was in a hurry to go back and see his big baby.

-

Ling Lie was holding a baby in his arms and holding Li Xin's right hand as he went to Qiao Yu's house for a meal.

It turned out that they were late, and Gu Xi and Bai Ming were also there.

As soon as Li Xin's child arrived, all the adults' attention was attracted to her.

Ling Li was a very small kid. He was held by one uncle for a while, and then taken away by another uncle to be close to him.

Li Xin was happy and at ease. When his daughter looked at him with wide eyes, he smiled and said, "Dear, you are already a five-month-old child. You must learn to leave daddy's arms."

Bai Ming held the child in his arms and couldn't let go.

"Leave your father and go home with your uncle."

Qiao Yu laughed and said, "Gu Xi, you can't do that. Bai Ming wants a child so badly that he wants to snatch Li Xin's child away."

Gu Xi kissed Bai Ming on the face in front of everyone. Bai Ming blushed and glared at him: "What are you doing crazy?"

Gu Xi felt wronged: "You don't even help me defend myself."

Bai Ming was speechless and turned his back to him.

Gu Xi stopped making a fuss. The reason they dared to joke so recklessly was because Gu Gang and Hong Xiu took the children to catch crickets.

There was a drought last year and the creek dried up several times. This year, after the water level was restored, cicadas were miraculously discovered again.

The children wanted to go early in the morning, and after waiting for a long time after lunch, Gu Gang finally agreed to take them with him.

There were six men at the dinner table, three of them were time travelers. When they started chatting, they brought up a lot of words that didn't exist in this era.

But their partners have long been accustomed to it and can still chime in with a word or two from time to time.

Finally Ling Li cried, and Ling Lie and Li Xin returned home with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

Last winter, Gu Feng and Qiao Yu went to the beach to hold a unique wedding.

Xu Yuan provided a boat, Gu Feng chartered another, and all the employees of the villa went.

Even Anren dressed up for the event.

After the wedding, the two went to Suizhou, next to Nanzhou, for their honeymoon and spent half a month in their own world.

Not long after I came back, a great joyful event happened.

Because of the potato and snow disaster incidents, Xie Changyu applied for the title of squire for Qiao Yu.

But there has been no news.

After returning to Beijing, the King of Qi specifically sought the Emperor's approval for this matter.

When the imperial plaque arrived at Shangtian Village, Qiao Yu and Gu Feng thought that some family had committed a crime and alerted the government.

But the festive sound of firecrackers didn’t seem quite right, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to his home.

"Boss! Boss! Such great joy!"

The guards came excitedly to report the good news.

"Slow down, slow down. Don't fall!"

"Congratulations to the boss, congratulations to the boss!"

Following the large group came all the villagers of Shangtian Village, and at this moment they were all gathered outside the gate of Gu's courtyard.

Qiao Yu and Gu Feng hurried out to meet them.

That kind of scene is rare in life.

Qiao Yu had never thought that one day he would be recognized by the Emperor of Dayan. He stared at the golden "Xianda of Zili" in a daze for a long time before accepting the order.

In addition to the title, the emperor also rewarded Qiao Yu with a thousand taels of gold, fifty pieces of cloth, and ten dan of fine rice.

The villagers watching gasped every time they heard something.

Qiao Yu knelt down to receive the order.

This plaque was delivered by Xie Changyu himself. After Qiao Yu received it, he hosted a banquet at Lingyun Villa.

Gu Feng even had a few pigs slaughtered and set up a buffet for three days on the open space outside the villa, where everyone could have a share.

Needless to say, Xu Yuan, Xu Ning, Wen Ge'er and others rushed over to congratulate them as soon as possible.

During those three days, the entire Lingyun Villa was even more lively than during the Chinese New Year.

Three days later, the excitement continued for another half a month due to the guests who came here to visit.

Qiao Yu used all the reward money as an education fund for the villa.

A Lingyun Academy and an agricultural technology workshop were newly built to the north of the villa.

The academy mainly accepts farming and studying students from various villages.

The tuition fee is low, and lunch is included. Students who perform well in their studies can also apply for scholarships.

The academy is divided into elementary classes and general classes.

The Montessori class is similar to the preschool class in the modern world. When Qiao Yu considered setting up this academy, a big reason was to solve the learning problems of preschool children in the villa, such as his own son Gu Heng.

The teacher of the elementary school class is Li Xin.

Students in the ordinary classes follow the normal academic system of Dayan, and their teachers are trustworthy scholars whom Qiao Yu asked Xu Yuan to find in the town.

As for the Agricultural Technology Workshop, it specializes in the research of farming and agricultural products.

For example, screening high-quality and high-yield rice, grafting of fruit trees, food preservation methods, etc.

That summer, Qiao Yu and Gu Feng went to the northwest, where they met the watermelon they had been longing for.

When we returned to the villa, people from the technical workshop invented the feat of grafting watermelon seedlings onto pumpkin seedlings.

Because Dayan's watermelon vines are thin and weak, while the pumpkin vines are thick and strong.

The man made a cut on the vines of the pumpkin and watermelon seedlings that had sprouted only a few days ago and grafted them together. Surprisingly, they survived. The watermelon vines became even stronger and the watermelons they produced were bigger, weighing more than twenty kilograms.

But these are all things for later.

At this moment, Qiao Yu was happily nestling in Gu Feng's arms, sitting on a big rock in the back mountain watching the sunset.

Smoke rose from their home halfway up the mountain. Qiao Yu felt even happier at the thought of having hot meals when she returned home.

From that small mud house to owning everything they have today, the feelings between the two of them have never changed.

The ordinary atmosphere of life is what soothes people's hearts the most.

There will always be someone who will share three meals a day and four seasons with you.
