After dressing up as a stepmother, I transformed the whole family into working in the fields

The Liu family's old house received a thousand catties, but Qin Yao didn't mention the transportation costs.

Old Man Liu and Mrs. Zhang were grateful in their hearts and were not in a hurry to calculate the money. In the future, they would be more helpful because these favors cannot be calculated clearly.

In the city, shelled wheat was sold for twelve cents per catty, and three taels of silver could buy one thousand catties. Everyone in the old house was very happy.

He and Qiu urgently packed up half of their house to store the food.

But Qin Yao's 10,000 kilograms of grain had nowhere to put it.

For now, they can only cram as much as possible into their own bedrooms, and then build an additional warehouse when spring plowing is available.

Liu Bai and Liu Zhong promised Qin Yao that this matter would be taken care of by them.

She specifically explained that Qin Yao didn't need to take care of the food, she just had to prepare some meat for them and they would cook it themselves when they went back.

Qin Yao thought a little disappointed: Your dislike is so obvious.

In the evening, the two families had a sumptuous dinner cooked by Liu Ji at Qin Yao's house, and then they dispersed with smiles.

Qin Yao sent everyone out of the old house, watched them enter the village, locked the door, and walked around the several rooms in the house.

Seeing the grain bags piled up in the room, Qin Yao let out a sigh of relief and stroked her heart, feeling relieved and comfortable.

Lady?

Liu Ji whispered outside the door.

Qin Yao exited the room and motioned for him to follow, and the two of them came to the main room.

As soon as she sat down, Liu Ji handed over a bill, spread it out and explained it to her item by item.

Thirty taels were spent on grain, and three cents per catty of wheat, resulting in a total purchase of ten thousand catties.

Twenty taels of travel expenses, six nights away from home, a total of 600 renminbi for accommodation, 400 renminbi for food, 120 renminbi for two packages of cakes, 850 renminbi for management and inquiry, and the remaining 30 renminbi.

After explaining, Liu Ji consciously took out his money bag and put it in front of her. He poured it out and counted it. It happened to be thirty copper coins.

Everything was perfect, even if Liu Fei was confronted, it would be difficult to find any loopholes.

Qin Yao weighed the remaining thirty coins and glanced at Liu Ji with a half-smile, which made his spine shiver and cold sweat break out on his forehead, and then she said:

You have to pay your own living expenses in March and April. Don't ask why, you know it yourself.

Why does the accommodation fee cost 600 Wen?

How many high-end inns could he spend such money on along the way?

What kind of pastries cost 120 yuan for two packs?

She could read at most forty articles, no more!

As for the snoop fee, it was full of errors and omissions, and she didn't even want to expose it.

The moment the money was given out, Qin Yao had already included this part in the budget. So now that I see this bill, I feel no fluctuation in my heart.

If her guess was correct, Liu Jimei's money should be eight or nine hundred yuan.

His living expenses in the academy for one month, including paper consumption, were almost three hundred cents. She only counted two months, and the rest was considered as hard work for him.

A full three hundred coins were spent on hard work, and no one could be more generous than her.

Sleep. Qin Yao stood up, threw the bill to him, took the remaining thirty coins, yawned and went back to the house to sleep.

Liu Ji was left alone sitting on the small stool in the main room, his heart was surging, his fists were clenched, his cleverness was mistaken for his cleverness, and he almost fainted from anger.

If I had known, I wouldn’t even have paid back the thirty cents!

The 890 coins he had worked so hard to hide were actually used as living expenses. Why?

Why! ! !

It seems that even the chickens in the yard can feel the substantial black resentment above the main room, and their clucking sounds are muted, lest they get into trouble and be killed and eaten tomorrow.

The elder man led his younger brothers and sisters out of the shower room. They all walked quietly when they passed the main room. They got into the room one by one and gently closed the door to block out the overwhelming resentment. Then they all let out a sigh of relief.

Liu Ji stood up with a hum, blew out the oil lamp, and slammed the door of the hall.

As a result, there was too much movement. I noticed a figure shaking in the master bedroom, and another one rushed back, gently closing the gap that had been opened.

Qin Yao heard the crackling outside for a while, and it took a full quarter of an hour to calm down. She raised a scornful smile at the corner of her mouth, raised her hand and waved it out to extinguish the oil lamp on the table, covered herself with a thin quilt, and fell asleep beautifully.

The rain in March is continuous and can last for several days at a time, and the sky is gloomy.

But now that the food is stocked up, Qin Yao can prepare for spring plowing with peace of mind.

Liu Ji went back to the academy. He had to register in advance for the May exam and prepare various supporting documents. He also had to study in the rest of the time, and his schedule was full.

Although he knew he was just going through the motions to earn some experience points, it was still a formal scientific examination. Liu Ji had great confidence in himself. What if he got lucky and passed the exam again?

He thought it was a good idea, but because of this mysterious self-confidence, it actually gave him the motivation to take the initiative to study, and once again became the top student in the academy, which made Fan Xiucai and others itchy.

And seeing Liu Ji working so hard, they all had the illusion that he might really pass the exam.

The children at home are also in school, and this year the task of plowing the land falls on Qin Yao alone.

Fortunately, she bought oxen, and since there was little land, she plowed the field in two and a half days.

This time Qin Yao only stored water on eight acres of land, and the other two acres were dry.

When she was sifting through grain seeds two days ago, she pulled out a gourd, opened it, and saw that it was full of watermelon seeds. Then she remembered that she helped an escort agency on the road last year, and the escort gave her a jar of cold melon seeds.

This is a good thing. Qin Yao, who has not eaten any fruit all year round, immediately decided to set aside two acres of land to grow this.

If you can't finish it yourself, the leftovers may be sold at a high price.

After all, things are rare and valuable. I have never seen anyone selling watermelons in Kaiyang County.

She just didn’t know whether the watermelon varieties at this time were good or not, so she was taking a gamble.

Qin Yao plowed the fields, and Liu Bai immediately borrowed the oxen.

When others saw it, they were envious and jealous, thinking why didn't they have such a capable brother?

Look at Liu Laosan and his wife, one is a prodigal son who has turned around and started reading, and the other is a brave and invincible man who makes money and kills thieves.

The Liu family's old house is next to the couple, and life seems to be getting better and better. This year, they even had cattle.

The cows from my brother's family and the cows from the village chief's family have completely different feelings when used.

Because Qin Yao's side had finished plowing early, there was no need to rush to return it, and there was no need to work so hard from morning to night.

In this way, the cow can save some energy and the person can rest for a while.

It was getting dark and late. Dalang and Jinbao came back from school. If it was still early, they would take the sickle, hold the old cow, and take it up the mountain to graze.

By the way, I cut many of them back and stocked them. I added a handful to them from time to time, not wanting to tire them out.

Siniang and Sanlang grabbed Jinhua and taught her how to read, holding their own books and homemade blank homework books.

Jinhua was used to wild things, and since she didn't go to school, she spent half of the day learning weaving skills from her mother, and the remaining half of the time helped with housework, and then went out to play with other children in the village. It was hard to hold her temper.
