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

There are five saws and five axes in total. I chose the things myself from the beginning. Small trees are faster with axes, but big trees have to use saws to be efficient. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages. It depends on what you are familiar with.

But overall, a saw is easier to use than an axe.

Shunzi was quick and grabbed the saw, but Qin Yao was a little slower and only had the ax left.

Ding Wu was mainly responsible for supervising the work, walking back and forth in the forest to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to be lazy.

Before going up the mountain, the housekeeper said that the number of felled trees will be counted, and the top three will be rewarded. If the bottom three are too much lower than the average, wages will be deducted.

Therefore, as soon as they arrived at the destination, everyone picked up the things in their hands and started to move immediately. They wanted to reward them, but they were worried about being deducted for falling behind too much.

Qin Yao thought to himself that each of these ancients was smarter than the other, and it would not be their turn to suffer any loss.

When she felt Shunzi's look for help, Qin Yao only gave him a gesture to move, then she picked up a medium-sized fir tree and swung the ax.

She has never eaten pork and has seen pigs run away. She has seen wood cutting many times, but this time she did it herself, just like chopping firewood. However, the firewood in front of her was larger than ordinary firewood, and there was nothing essentially wrong with it. It's different.

Shunzi had no choice but to pretend to saw, but secretly watched how the other lumberjacks worked, copying the gourd and sawing half of the tree in one morning, but there was no crane tail.

The fastest one was a man with a beard and a big sweat. He was holding a saw and sawing large trees. Before Ding Wu called for dinner, he just finished sawing one. He kicked his big foot and quickly rolled on the spot, leaving an undershirt in the original place. There was a loud bang and the big tree fell down.

Qin Yao saw it really. The tree fell down in the opposite direction of Big Beard, but when it fell, it actually changed its direction and fell towards people.

In the end, the bearded man threw his undershirt to the ground and quickly rolled it to the opposite direction. The tree successfully fell down on the undershirt.

Ding Wu didn't understand what was happening even after thinking about it. He walked up and pointed at the undershirt and asked curiously:

Why did you leave your clothes behind when you ran away?

The bearded man was nicknamed Big Beard. He dusted off his undershirt and put it on again and explained:

The tree has a spirit and will chase people when it falls. Only by leaving something with a similar aura to me can I deceive it.

Ding Wu was surprised, Really or not?

The bearded man grinned and told him to try it himself and find out.

Ding Wu glanced at the big tree on the ground that was thicker than his thigh, and waved his hands repeatedly, I'll forget it.

At the same time, he summoned everyone from Qin Yao and told them to be careful before the tree fell down.

Qin Yao was holding a bowl of vegetable soup and two thick noodle buns given to her by the servants of the Ding family, and an interesting idea suddenly came to her mind - Liushu.

Then she actually did it, just to test the bearded man's rhetoric.

Strangely enough, when she deliberately wanted to experiment, the tree fell straight down in the direction she kicked.

When she gave up the experiment, she was almost hit by a tree that fell backwards.

That is to say, Qin Yao reacts quickly, otherwise she will definitely be injured due to this loss of concentration.

Moreover, they cut trees separately, each in their own place, so as not to affect other people or accidentally injure their companions. Once they were hit, it would be too late to call for help.

So, this is Schrödinger's tree spirit? Qin Yao muttered with lingering fear, deciding that it would be better to have awe of nature.

Before five o'clock, everyone stopped cutting wood, used axes to cut off excess branches, and trimmed the main trunk.

Come five o'clock and finish work on time.

Qin Yao scored two logs today.

Shunzi just learned how to cut wood today, and in the afternoon she finally sawed down a tree, using the bearded method, and was not injured.

The most common ones are the big beards, one in the morning and two in the afternoon, three in total.

The least is one. Shunzi and Qin Yao are in safe positions, and today's ten cents wages are saved.

Whether you will be deducted next depends on your subsequent performance.

Physical work like logging consumes a lot of money. Qin Yao didn't eat enough for one person at noon. She didn't prepare water herself, and Ding's family didn't provide water. She was so thirsty that she and Shunzi had to Run down the mountain and take a sip of spring water flowing from the mountain.

This back and forth took a lot of time, and Ding Wu looked a little unhappy when he saw the two people's eyes, but he didn't say anything on the first day.

Just when I got off work, I specifically told him: Remember to bring a kettle with you tomorrow.

Hey, definitely. Shunzi agreed with a smile.

Qin Yao touched her growling stomach and just wanted to run home and make dinner immediately.

Xiahe Village was so close that Qin Yao couldn't wait for Shunzi's slow footsteps, so she said to Shunzi: My home is far away. It's late and it's dark and I can't see the road. I'll take the first step.

Just after Shunzi said Huh?, Qin Yao was already striding forward, giving him no chance to stay.

Qin Yao suddenly turned around and added: By the way, you don't have to wait for me tomorrow. We'll see you at Ding's house.

After saying this, he opened up his speed and left Shunzi far behind.

Alone, there was no need to worry about his companions. Qin Yao walked to Liujia Village in more than two hours and entered the house with the last ray of sunset on the horizon.

The four children immediately gathered around. Qin Yao forced a smile and sat down in the main room, just wanting to cook.

Liu Ji brought a half-pot of porridge that was warm on the stove and placed it in front of her, along with a bowl of steaming pickled melon and vegetables.

Qin Yao poured the vegetables into the porridge pot, stirred it up, and made a big mouthful of it.

The five people, father and son, gathered in front of her and were very surprised to see her eating as fast as a starving ghost reincarnated.

Auntie, aren't you full for lunch? Sanlang asked with concern.

Qin Yao nodded casually. It wasn't until she finished half the pot of porridge that she felt her screaming stomach soothe.

Putting down the empty pot with a bang, Qin Yao wiped her lips and said, Finally alive!

What kind of work do you do? Are you so hungry? Mr. Ding's wife doesn't even give you a bite of food?

Liu Ji took the pot to the sink to wash it, while looking into the main room to pay attention. If it's such a hard work, let me do it instead. Madam, it would be nice for you to rest at home.

No need! Qin Yao raised her hand as a stop it gesture, It's just that I wasn't fully prepared on the first day today. It will be better tomorrow.

Prepare a kettle for me, fill it with cold water, and I'll take it with me to drink.

Liu Ji responded with an awed response. After washing the pot, he came to the main room and squatted in front of her to ask curiously, Madam, what kind of work do you do? How are wages calculated?

Qin Yao replied briefly: Two meals a day plus ten cents wages, logging work.

Liu Ji's expectant eyes instantly narrowed when he heard the word logging. He let out a sigh, got up and came behind her to give her a shoulder squeeze.

My dear, thank you for your hard work. Let me relax you.

Qin Yao responded with a hmm. The massage force was moderate and her skills were quite good.

But when had Liu Laosan ever been so diligent and considerate?

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
