After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 219 Children give gifts

The start time of the government examination is between May 15th and NO.300. It is more than [-] miles from Liujiacun to Fucheng. According to the speed of the carriage, if you don't want to walk too hard, it will take four or five days.

Taking into account the preparation time required for arriving in Fucheng, it is most appropriate to set off ten days in advance.

Now that the farm work at home is basically finished, Qin Yao and Liu Ji are starting to prepare for their trip to Fucheng.

After all, it was her first time traveling far away, so Qin Yao still had a little expectation.

The carriage is ready at home, and considering the possibility of sleeping outdoors on the road, a tent must be prepared.

Businessmen who run businesses need this kind of thing most, and it is also sold in the county town. The price is not cheap, an oilcloth tent costs [-] yuan.

These eight hundred coins were exchanged for a small tent less than two to five meters long and less than 1.5 meters wide.

But it's enough for two people to squeeze in, and if the weather is friendly, you can sleep in the carriage.

After buying the tent, Liu Ji watched it several times and laughed from time to time. He didn't know what he was thinking.

We have transportation and temporary shelter, and there is still food and drink left.

Dry food is best for traveling, and cooking on the road also wastes time. Qin Yao thought, if there is a store along the way, eat in the store, and if there is no store, eat some dry food to fill your stomach.

You have to be careful when drinking water. People here are not in the habit of drinking boiled water. Qin Yao prepared two large gourds and a small stove.

The gourd is used to hold cold boiled water, and the stove is used to boil water. The hollow table on the carriage can just fit the stove, so that in case of camping, you can still have something hot to eat.

As for the remaining flints, umbrellas, thick-soled shoes, etc., they are necessary for travel.

After leaving this time, I have to wait until the results are released and come back. Counting the time, it is at least more than 20 days, and at most a month.

The temperature rises in May, so just bring a pair of light and cool linen clothes. In addition to the clothes you wore when setting off, two changes of clothes are enough.

After taking care of food, clothing, housing and transportation, Qin Yao packed up her weapons.

The big knife has not been used for a long time, so it needs to be taken out and sharpened.

The bow and arrows should also be taken out for inspection, and a few more arrows should be prepared to fill the quiver.

I didn't bring the dagger, leaving it for Dalang to use for self-defense.

Everything is ready and waiting to go.

There were two "knock-knock" knocks at the door of the room, and Sanlang shouted in a low voice, "Mom, come out for a moment."

Qin Yao was cleaning the knife. Hearing this, she put the knife into the scabbard, picked up a wooden hairpin from the table, rolled up her freshly washed and dried hair, opened the door and walked out.

Lowering his head, he saw Sanlang nervously clutching the two pockets on the corners of his clothes. He raised his head and tried his best to smile at her with what he thought was a relaxed smile.

"What are you doing?" Qin Yao glanced at the main room. The brothers and sisters who had just been urged to go back to the room to sleep were now gathered in the main room.

Liu Ji, who was endorsing the book, was also dragged to the main room by Erlang, still holding the book in his hand and still wearing the familiar Wenquxing protection headband on his forehead.

He raised his head and looked at Qin Yao, and caught a glimpse of Qin Yao, who was wearing a white loose coat and her hair was lazily tied up. Her eyes, which were slightly drooped and staring at the book with her peripheral vision, widened instantly.

Sanlang stretched out his little hand, took Qin Yao's finger, and led her into the main room.

As soon as the task of summoning people was completed, he immediately ran to the team of his brother and sister. The four brothers and sisters lined up in a row, mysteriously blocking something.

"What's going on?" Qin Yao glanced at Liu Ji suspiciously.

Liu Ji shook his head, he was also confused.

"Ahem!" Siniang coughed twice, reminding her father and mother to pay attention to the four of them.

Qin Yao and Liu Ji looked over in unison, bending slightly to see what the brothers and sisters were going to do.

Dalang said: "Dad, Aunt Yao, although you have to leave for a month, you don't have to worry about things at home. We will take care of the cows and feed the chickens. If there is a problem with the water mill, we will call Carpenter Liu, and I will He Erlang, Sanlang and Si Niang will take good care of themselves."

After doing a lot of foreshadowing, Dalang finally got to the point, "Well, we will make something for you that you will need on the road." After saying that, he immediately looked away and his ears turned red. , looking very embarrassed, not daring to meet the surprised looks of Qin Yao and Liu Ji.

Erlang patted Siniang's hand on her back, and Siniang took two steps forward and took out the two pairs of insoles that had been hidden behind her.

"Aniang, this is yours, Dad, this is yours."

She quickly distributed the two pairs of insoles to her father and mother. The fourth mother immediately hid behind her eldest and second brothers, and said proudly and shyly:
"Sister Jinhua taught me how to do it, but I didn't do it well."

Special reminder, "I also embroidered your names on it!"

Qin Yao and Liu Ji looked down at the pair of insoles in their hands that could not be identified as insoles unless they were insoles. Sure enough, they found a ball of embroidery thread of a different color in the center of the mat.

Qin Yao could barely tell that it was Yao.

Liu Ji's side was a complete mess.

If Siniang hadn't said anything, they wouldn't have seen it at all and would have just thought it was a tangled thread.

Looking at the insole in her hand, and then at the four siblings in front of her who were full of reluctance but sensible enough not to make any demands, Qin Yao felt an inexplicable sourness in her heart.

She suppressed the surge in her heart and asked in surprise: "Where did you get the cloth for the insoles?"

Sanlang pointed at Erlang and said: "The pocket money saved by the second brother."

Siniang added, "Big brother helped me a little bit."

Otherwise, she would not be able to make two pairs of insoles by herself.

Dalang also pointed at Sanlang, "It's a picture drawn by my younger brother. I don't know if you like it or not."

"Dad likes it very much!"

In the silent night, Liu Ji roared, shaking the four Dalang brothers and sisters so much that they trembled all over.

When they realized it was Dad's voice, they all let out a sigh of relief, feeling a little happy.

Liu Ji pressed the pair of insoles that could not be seen as insoles tightly to his heart, with an expression of joy that was beyond touching, "My son has really grown up!"

Qin Yao also smiled and said, "Thank you for the gift, I like it very much."

Si Niang smiled and felt very proud. She knew that her father and mother would like it very much!

Sanlang went to bring his father and mother's shoes over and asked them to put them on and put them on immediately.

The atmosphere is so warm, of course Qin Yao will not break it.

Liu Ji, who said she liked it but didn't want to try on the insoles, let her four siblings help them put the insoles in their shoes.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows at Liu Ji. Liu Ji forced out a fatherly smile, put on his shoes and walked around twice.

"Dad, is it nice to wear?" Siniang asked expectantly.

Liu Ji asked back: "Si Niang, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Siniang glared at her father, "Of course it's the truth!"

Liu Jixin said that to be honest, it was not easy to wear at all and it was a bit painful for the feet.

But under Qin Yao's gentle gaze, she said: "Comfortable! Good to wear!"

The four siblings looked at Qin Yao again, received a big thumbs up, and laughed with satisfaction.

Ke smiled, but when he thought that his parents were about to leave for a month, his head drooped uncontrollably, feeling a little disappointed.

Qin Yao and Liu Ji suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.

The couple looked at each other, how about... leaving?
