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

Chapter 66
Mrs. Liu hurriedly said yes, and asked the younger daughter to go to her second brother's study to get the pen and paper.

Liu Gong's second younger brother, Liu Li, had just gotten married in the first month of the year. He was the person Zhang mentioned at that time who was sent to the county town by his parents to study for half a month but dropped out of school because he couldn't bear the transportation fee.

But what happened next, Zhang didn't say, was that Liu Li went directly to live with his aunt's parents in the county seat and studied in the county academy.

I was supposed to take the county exam this spring. If I passed it, I would be eligible to take the government exam. If I passed the government exam, I would be a scholar.

However, a catastrophe delayed him for a whole year this year.

Fortunately, the engaged woman did not call off the engagement because of his legs, and the two families completed the wedding as scheduled.

Liu Li watched Qin Yao pick up the pen and paper to draw drawings, and felt that she was very unusual. Although the posture of holding the pen was weird, the lines of the pen were horizontal and vertical, straight without a ruler, and she looked like a person who had been drawing all year round.

Everyone in the village knew that Qin Yao had escaped from other places, but no one knew what her family background was like before she escaped.

Now Liu Li guessed that her family must have been a wealthy family before.

Otherwise, if a woman can write and draw, it can be said that she is valued and loved by her family, but if she wants to learn martial arts, it is not something ordinary people can have.

Qin Yao naturally knew that Liu Li was looking at her with probing eyes, but there was no evidence to prove it, and no one would find it out if she spoke nonsense.

So she is very calm, answering every question, anyway, believe it or not.

This time, she said that there was an uncle in her family who liked carpentry, and she had learned some basic skills from him.

In fact, in the previous life, he did a lot of odd jobs in the base to make a living, and trained in a medical equipment factory.

The drawings are completed, one is a picture of double crutches, Liu Li and his third brother only have one broken leg, so this is more appropriate.

One is a picture of a wooden wheelchair. The method is actually very simple. The big wooden wheels are too extravagant and not easy to make. They are only for short-term use, so adding four small wooden wheels to the chair is enough.

The stool board in the middle is detachable, which is convenient for going to the toilet. The wheelchair is also equipped with armrests, which is convenient for Liu Gong and his wife to push. It can be said that it is very thoughtful and in place.

The picture was handed over to Mrs. Liu, Qin Yao turned around and withdrew.

Mrs. Liu didn't even have the chance to express her gratitude, and was shocked by Qin Yao's generosity. She gave such exquisite drawings as a gift without any intention of hiding anything.

There were some strange symbols marked on the drawings that they didn't understand.

But Mrs. Qin said that Carpenter Liu knew it, so she should show it to Carpenter Liu.

"Oh, this, this is Aberdeen's numeral. People in the Western Regions use this number as our one-twenty-three. Fucheng and Kyoto have all adopted this number." Liu Carpenter explained.

Mrs. Liu nodded, that's how it is.

"Ms. Qin knows a lot." Liu Yueniang, the younger sister of the Liu family, admired her.

Carpenter Liu nodded in approval, "Of course, Madam Qin has been to Fucheng."

To be precise, it was Yao Niang who went to Fucheng.

Qin Yao herself was a little surprised to see the use of Arabic numerals in her original memory.

I don't know if it really came from outside, or if there were other traversers here before.

Moreover, women here in Shengguo do not have menstruation, but dark menstruation, neither menstrual troubles, nor affect fertility, women travel through the gospel!
For now, Qin Yao is generally satisfied with the world, except for farming.

"Miss, let's just have these ten acres. They are contiguous and close to the river, so it's easy to irrigate."

Standing on the ridge of the field, Liu Ji pointed to the ten acres of land in front of him, and said with complicated emotions.

Qin Yao nodded. Anyway, the land here is very good. In the afternoon, he went to Liu Dafu's house to settle the land rental matter with Liu Gong.

The other family has already started plowing the fields. They have no livestock. They work in groups of two, with one person pulling in front and the other supporting behind, which is faster.

There are also those who are alone, holding the plow alone and plowing slowly.

This plow rake is also divided into different materials, and the speed is also different.

If conditions are good, use iron plows; if conditions are bad, use stone plows or wooden plows.

There are two plows at the Liu family's old house, one made of iron and one made of stone. Fortunately, they are cattle leased from the village chief's family. Otherwise, after one hundred acres of land have been plowed, the people will be ruined.

Also because the land is large and relatively scattered, it is already very laborious to turn over every mu of land. Only the well-watered fields can be plowed twice.

Qin Yao and Liu Ji specially went to the Liu family's old house to observe how to plow the fields with an ox-drawn plow for a day. Under Qin Yao's intimidation, Liu Ji rolled up his pants and went to the fields to practice a few times. After gaining a certain amount of experience points, the two of them took the second place. The heavens and the earth will begin to work.

The two of them had one acre each. Liu Ji used an iron plow borrowed from Liu Dafu's family to hitch an ox plow, while Qin Yao used an iron plow borrowed from Liu Dafu's family, relying solely on manual labor.

Both of them thought very well. One of them is a strong man and the other has a cow. It should be easy for each of them to make two acres a day.

But once you get started, you realize how difficult it is.

The reason why a field near water is good is that it is convenient to store water. You don't have to guard the ditch to release water. You have to keep an eye on it day and night to prevent other people from blocking the water into your own field.

People in the village often fight because of the paddy field. Regardless of whether you are a relative or not, if you dare to stop my paddy field, I will fight you hard!
Therefore, the land rented by Qin Yao's family is full of water. The land is plowed while the water is released. There is a mud pit with one foot. People are stuck in the mud and it is very tiring to lift their feet.

But human beings are extremely adaptable creatures.

Two days later, Qin Yao and Liu Jijing miraculously adapted to such work. Although they went out early and came back late every day, their bodies were no longer as tired as before.

Of course, tiredness is also an important factor in fatigue.

Now I have gone from tired to numb, so my mental state is much better.

Dalang and Erlang took the initiative to take on the housework and cooking work, and even delivered lunch to their parents in the fields at noon to ensure that no farming time was wasted.

It took three and a half days to plow all the land.

Others had no oxen or iron plows, but they were faster than the two of them. The performance of the couple in the field made the villagers laugh a lot.

Both the Suoji and his wife do not care about other people's opinions, and Liu Ji is the kind of person who can smile at you even if you scold him in front of him.

These days, old man Liu and Mrs. Zhang have seen the hard work of the couple, and they are secretly moved. The fortune-teller is honest, and a shrew is the only one who can hold back a person like the youngest.

Look, now I can do housework and work in the fields again, the changes are so great that it is unbelievable.

But the shamelessness is still the same as before.

"Dad, please bring me rice seeds from ten acres of land." Liu Ji leaned on the door frame of the main room of the old house and confidently stretched out his hand to ask for rice seeds from Old Man Liu.

Qin Yao gave him money to buy it, but if he really gave him money, he wouldn't be called Liu Laosan.

Unexpectedly, old man Liu didn't say anything, and brought it to him when he entered the room.

Because he had expected that there would be no rice seeds left at Qin Yao's house, he had already prepared them.

Only Liu Fei looked away from Liu Ji in the courtyard and said, "It's so shameless to come here to ask for things from my parents after we separated a long time ago."

Liu Ji would never be angry about this, but said with a smile: "It's only natural for my son to take advantage of me."

Liu Fei had never seen such a shameless person, so he angrily picked up the plow and went to the ground.

Knowing that he wanted to turn his anger into productivity, Liu Ji waved his hand and said with a smile: "Work hard and plow deeper! Brother Qiu Shuang is here to beg for food!"

Everyone said don't bully people too hard, Liu Fei turned around fiercely, "Liu Ji, wait for me, I'll tell my sister-in-law right away!"

Don't think he doesn't know he has a private room secretly hidden!
Tell that wicked woman Qin Yao?
Liu Ji's expression changed drastically, and he quickly caught up with him, "Little brother, wait a minute! Listen to my brother explain to you."
