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

Breakfast is ready.

The children ate in a hurry and rushed to school without saying goodbye properly. Liu Ji only had time to tell the four brothers and sisters:

Listen to grandma at home and don't be naughty. If you don't understand the homework assigned by Master, just copy it down in your notebook. Dad will teach you when he comes back later. Don't bother you, grandma, you know?

Otherwise, don't blame him for not warning them in advance.

The children understood, dragging the book box and ran all the way to the door of the old house, got on the carriage driven by Liu Zhong and left.

They didn't care about their father's life or death at all.

Liu Ji: Myocardial infarction!

Abba!

Siniang's shout came from the entrance of the village.

The little girl stood on the carriage shaft, used her hands as a trumpet, and said loudly: You must pass the exam!

The old father who had a heart attack suddenly cheered up, ran a few steps to catch up to the courtyard dam, and responded with a loud smile: Siniang, when dad comes back, you will be the young lady! Whatever you want, dad will get you back!

Qin Yao leaned on the door frame and heard the corner of her mouth twitching. It was painted by this big cake.

Si Niang responded happily: Okay!!!

The whole valley was filled with the resounding voice of the little girl. Liu Ji stood there with open arms and closed his eyes to listen, feeling that there was no more beautiful sound in the world.

Agu is here. Qin Yao reminded.

Someone who was immersed in it opened his eyes and walked over to her, smiling at her: Madam, when I come back, I will impress you.

Qin Yao smiled and nodded, Okay, I'm waiting for you to impress me.

At critical moments, she never said depressing words, which Liu Ji thinks is the best thing about her.

After helping Agu load his luggage, Liu Ji got into the carriage, waved to Qin Yao, lowered the curtain, and walked smoothly.

Qin Yao originally thought he was going to be nagging for a while, but she didn't expect him to be so straightforward. She unexpectedly raised her eyebrows and asked Awang to bring the horse over, and she gave Gong Liangxiao a ride.

After driving the convoy all the way to Xiahe Village and watching them get on the official road, Qin Yao left.

She didn't know that as soon as she turned around on horseback, the people in the car couldn't help but lift the rear door curtain. Under Gong Liangxiao's disgusted eyes, Qiqi Ai Ai looked all the way.

It's really worthless. Gong Liangliao scolded.

How long have you been away for? Just two months.

I haven’t left the house yet, that’s all.

If I were to serve in another place in the future and be separated by two places, wouldn't it be a life-and-death situation?

How many officials have been away from home for several years without being able to see their wives and children at home, and they just come over like normal people?

I am really lonely, and I can get through it by having a concubine by my side.

Suddenly thinking of this, Gong Liangxiao glanced suspiciously at the disciple who secretly raised his sleeves to wipe his eyes, and asked him:

Do you want to take a concubine?

Liu Ji said Huh?, obviously still immersed in the sadness of separation and unable to extricate himself, and was a little confused for a moment.

Gong Liangliao asked again impatiently, Don't you always think your wife is fierce? Do you want to have a gentle concubine?

Liu Ji blinked with big eyes, Teacher, do you think this is a question of whether you want to think about it or not? Shouldn't you ask me if I dare?

Gong Liangliao: .

The air in the car condensed for a moment.

After a while, the master and apprentice looked at each other and made a tacit agreement not to mention the topic of concubinage.

But after a quarter of an hour.

Gong Liangliao suddenly said something else: A man has his ambitions in all directions, and he must not be in love with his children.

Liu Ji said oh, as if he understood, but not completely.

Teacher, do you think that if I still fail the exam this time, will my wife divorce me?

Gong Liangxiao was stunned!

Then he calmly patted his disciple Tianling Gai and said, Don't worry, no woman in Sheng Kingdom can abandon her husband's law. You can do your research without worrying about anything else.

Liu Ji suddenly felt happy in his heart.

Fortunately, fortunately, there is no law for women to divorce their husbands in Shengguo!

Gong Liangxiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his disciple calm down.

In fact, he didn't say a word.

That is - for Yaoniang, if she wants to leave, the so-called divorce of husband and wife according to the laws of Sheng Kingdom has no meaning to her.

She is not a person who will be bound by rules and etiquette.

However, the big exam is coming soon, and Gong Liangxiao will not say such words that shake the morale of the army.

When Qin Yao returned home, Awang had already gone to the ground, and Mrs. Li also took her dirty clothes to the river to wash them.

The sudden loneliness made her feel a little uncomfortable.

But soon, the arrival of Old Man Liu broke this inexplicable loneliness.

The third child is gone? Old Man Liu asked.

Qin Yao responded: I just sent them to Xiahe Village.

I asked him to sit in the main room, poured me a cup of tea, and added a plate of jam shortcakes baked this morning. Let Old Man Liu eat it first and take some back to his old house later.

Old man Liu curiously picked up a piece and tasted it. He praised Awang and Li for their good craftsmanship and was reluctant to eat more.

Just holding tea, he asked Qin Yao if he planned to plant rice seedlings.

Because the couple was not active in farming in the past two years, it cast a shadow on Old Man Liu. Unless he came to ask in person, he would not be able to sleep at night, and his dreams were all about the third brother and his family starving to death because they did not grow any food.

It wasn't until Qin Yao said that the family's granary was sufficient and they had just collected the rent for a hundred acres of land, that Old Man Liu suddenly remembered that the third family no longer relied on the ten acres of land in the village for food.

Looking at my memory, I have even forgotten this. Old man Liu was a little embarrassed and hurriedly picked up the teacup and drank tea.

Qin Yao smiled, waited for Old Man Liu to finish his tea, and discussed the plans to add and renovate the home after the busy farming season.

Old Man Liu had already said that this matter would be taken care of by him, and he said the same thing this time.

I have nothing to do anyway. I'll ask some of your cousins ​​to help me. I can get the job done in a month at most. You can just take care of the food as usual.

Just for the broth in the pot, there were many uninvited helpers.

Qin Yao felt that it was not good to not pay wages, and it was hard to repay favors, so she gave each helper an additional five cents a day's wages.

When Old Man Liu saw Qin Yao's insistence, he didn't say anything more. He just told her: Then don't just make broth. Just make some vegetable soup.

The old man was afraid of poverty and was used to saving money. Qin Yao didn't resist him and nodded her head.

After the two reached an agreement, Qin Yao sent Old Man Liu back and stopped by the village chief's house.

After being reminded by Old Man Liu, she suddenly remembered that Magistrate Song was taking people to visit the village, and planned to inform the villagers about it.

It's a pity that I don't have a gong at home, so I have to go to the village chief's house to borrow one.

This time, when Qin Yao borrowed the gong from the village chief's house and left, the village chief once again looked at her with the complicated pity in his eyes.

Qin Yao really couldn't hold back her temper, so she asked doubtfully on the spot.

Village Chief, you keep looking at me like this, is there something you don't want to say?

The village chief waved his hands guiltily, It's okay, it's okay. Go and inform everyone so that everyone can be prepared.

This is a major event that will bring honor to our Liujia Village. No one of them can let me down!

When the village chief of Xiahe Village heard about this, he was envious.

Not all village magistrates will come!
