Farming in the Mountains: Max Level Jiaojiao Is Three Years Old

261 Herd Cows

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have told him this and asked for his opinion.

Just as Jiang Yue agreed, Xue Dafu told Xue Yifu to return home to work on the water workshop. Xue Yifu said he didn’t need help anymore and could do it on his own.

Xue Yifu came down from the roof and looked at the gelbvieh cow at home before he went back happily.

As soon as Xue Yifu left, Xue Dafu told Xue Wufu that he would be in charge of herding the cow in the future.

“This is too light a job! No, I’m not doing it!” Xue Wufu immediately shouted. “I’m old now. Didn’t I always follow you around to work? I can do it too. When have I ever done a bad job? I’m not slacking in any aspect anyway. Let Xue Yan do it. Xue Yan is only seven years old and is the most suitable person for herding the cow. Don’t other families also have children that herd their cows?”

Jiang Yue looked at the cowherd boy, Xue Yan.

Xue Yan coughed and said to his father, “Father, I can do it.” If he could do something for his family, he would. So be it if he had to herd the cows.

“What about Jiang Yue?” Liu Guixia didn’t agree.

“It’s just one cow. I can do it with her,” Xue Yan said.

“That’s true, that’s true.” Liu Guixia agreed and immediately smiled.

Jiang Yue looked up at the sky and blinked hard.

…

The next day was Tian’s son’s wedding, and also the first day Xue Yan and Jiang Yue would herd the cow.

The delivery of the wedding cake was usually done at noon when all the guests were present for the wedding banquet. Therefore, after breakfast, Xue Yan held Jiang Yue’s hand and planned to herd the cow.

By the time they came back from herding the cow in the morning, they would probably have time to go and receive the wedding cakes.

Tian had already mentioned it several times, so they couldn’t refuse.

As soon as Xue Yan led Jiang Yue out of the yard, Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao ran over with a small bag of candied plums, insisting on giving them to the other two kids.

“Xue Yan, Jiang Yue, this is for you. We still have more at home. I’ve already eaten a few on the way here.” Xue Xiaobao said.

The candied fruit was marinated with sugar, so it was quite expensive. Usually, their father would not be willing to buy this for Dabao and Xiaobao. Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

Their family must be thinking of ways to express their gratitude to them for their help in the past.

Since the two kids had put so much effort into coming, it was not good to reject it, so Xue Yan accepted it.

“Also, where are you going with Jiang Yue? We were planning to hang out with you guys, and when it’s time to receive the wedding cake, we can go together.” Xue Xiaobao still had candy in his mouth when he spoke. He couldn’t bear to eat it directly, so his words were a little unclear, but he still asked Xue Yan in confusion.

“To herd the cow,” Xue Yan said with a smile.

“Oh, oh.” Xue Dabao and Xue Xiaobao both nodded. “Then, you should quickly take Jiang Yue. Cows are precious and can’t be hungry. My father said that if our family has money in the future, we might buy one. At that time, we can also herd cows together.”

“Then you guys can go play with Gouzi first.” Xue Yan said. “He can also go and receive the wedding cake with us later.”

Ten-year-olds were still considered children and could receive wedding cakes.

Xue Dabao immediately said, “We already went to look for him yesterday, but he said that he wouldn’t be going today. He said that he had just lost his mother. Furthermore, Grandpa Tian’s family is having a happy event with a new daughter-in-law. He’s afraid that Grandpa Tian’s family would be unhappy if he went, so he told us to tell you both to not look for him anymore.”

It was true if Xue Gouzi went, Tian’s family would not be happy.

Xue Yan didn’t say anything, he only nodded.
