MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 124 Pink glow

“Is there an icehouse in Kaiyang County?” Qin Yao asked curiously.

 Thinking of the various ice drinks before the end of the world, Qin Yao couldn't help but swallowed secretly.

 A piece of ice in the middle of summer is not very comfortable.

Liu Ji nodded, "Yes, at the Ice Village just outside the city, the river freezes every year after snow falls, and the government has people chip the ice back into the icehouse. The ice stored last year can be used until this autumn."

 Then wait until winter to continue to save, and continue to use after saving, and so on.

But looking at Qin Yao's excited look, Liu Ji had to pour cold water on her.

“The ice in the government icehouse is exclusively for the nobles in the city. Don’t worry about us ordinary people. If you have a lot of money, it’s enough to treat me to a candy shop for a bowl.”

 Speaking, he swallowed his saliva in dissatisfaction.

Qin Yao sneered at him, "Dream!"

When she was just passing by, she saw those drink brands, the ones with the word snow on them, the starting price of a cup was fifty cents, which was enough to buy the three kilograms of pork she had.

Having expected her reaction like this, Liu Ji turned his back and made a cut.

 When he turned around, Qin Yao had already led Lao Huang out.

The couple looked at each other and then remembered an embarrassing question.

 Two people and one horse, how to ride?

Thinking of some possibility that might be detrimental to him, Liu Jidang stepped forward to grab the reins and asked tentatively:

 “Madam, you won’t let me run behind the horse’s ass, right?”

Qin Yao was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and asked directly: "Can you ride?"

 Liu Jishi shook his head sincerely.

He would like to do it, but he also needs the conditions at home.

Qin Yao shook her head and said, "Get on the horse and sit in front."

“Huh?” Liu Ji subconsciously raised his hand to indicate their heights. Qin Yao was a head shorter than him.

If she sits in the front, can she still see from behind?

 The raised hand was opened hard by Qin Yao, and Liu Ji gasped in pain.

 It turns out that it can be seen!

 Because when he accelerated to run, he was so scared that he just lay on the horse's back and hugged the horse's neck tightly.

The sound of the strong wind could be heard beside my ears. Just as I was about to speak, a mouthful of dust came in, and my buttocks almost split into four pieces.

He wanted to change his posture slightly, but a warm body pressed down on him, and a scent of soapberry floated into his nose—

 Liu Jideng froze immediately!

 Later, later. He could no longer remember how he returned to Liujiacun.

I only remember a voice coming from behind: "We're here, get out."

Then, he was mercilessly thrown off the horse and stood there blankly, looking at the burning sunset on the horizon, which was red and pink and very beautiful.

One man and one horse were walking against the twilight. The woman's back was straight, her body rising and falling with the horse's back, and her high-tied ponytail swaying from side to side, so wantonly, as if nothing in the world could restrain her.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand, trying to grab something, but he couldn't grab anything. He could only watch the heroic figure walking away.

Liu Ji swallowed unconsciously and shook his head violently. When he looked up, he felt that the person on the horse was surrounded by a pink glow.

 He raised his hand and gave himself a gentle slap!

This time the pink light is gone.

Qin Yao stopped for a moment in the open space of the village well, but did not see any of the children at home.

 Perhaps the business of bayberry soup was not completed and I went home early.

Qin Yao smiled helplessly, turned around and shouted: "Liu Ji, walk faster!"

Liu Ji panted and trotted up, raising his head and complaining, "I have two human legs, you have four horse legs, and you didn't say wait for me, but you still urged me!"

Qin Yao frowned, why did she feel that the tone of this good-for-nothing man's words today was full of coquettishness?

　　Forget it, don't care, reach out your hand, take away the baggage from him, put it on the horse, and go to Ma's house. Without his luggage, Liu Ji could not move much faster. He had to stop and whistle at every villager he met along the way.

 When others compliment him and call him Liu Caizi, he responds shamelessly.

With such procrastination, Qin Yao came home to take off the saddle and feed the horse before he entered the house.

 You smiled as soon as you entered the door, which shows that you have received a lot of good words along the way. The **** that everyone called him a beater in the past has now become a talented person in people's mouth, which is flattering.

"Huh?" Liu Ji scooped up water to wash up. He glanced at the kitchen and other rooms, but no one was there. "Where have Dalang and the others gone?"

Qin Yao threw a handful of good fodder to the horse, clapped her hands and walked in from the back door. There was no one in the backyard.

“Maybe he went somewhere to play.” She guessed.

When Liu Ji saw her coming, he subconsciously carried the basin in front of him and said, "Madam, take a wash."

 After doing this, he slapped the back of his hand in annoyance to make you look bad!

Qin Yao saw his weak 'struggle' in her eyes, chuckled lightly, twisted her handkerchief and wiped her face and neck.

Then he took off his coat and hung it on the clothes drying pole in the yard. Wearing only a thin linen coat, he stood in the corridor and blew in the air at the door.

 It was so fierce that Liu Ji was dumbfounded.

Qin Yao squinted over, "Why are you looking at me? It's almost dark, go out and look for your children!"

The familiar days of oppression began again. He had just walked in and he hadn't let go for even a quarter of an hour.

 He felt helpless in his heart, and with a gentle smile on his face, he said, "Hey, I'll go out and take a look."

Just as he was about to go out, the excited chatter of four children came up from down the mountain.

 Soon, four familiar figures appeared at the gate.

Seeing their father and mother, the twins were startled at first, and then ran in, eager to share their joy today.

Saburo said: "Dad, my second brother sold many bowls of bayberry soup!"

Si Niang said: "Auntie, Auntie, the bayberry soup we made was sold out all at once. The eldest brother and the second brother went up to the mountain to pick wild bayberries again. We have to make some to sell tonight!"

Liu Ji was confused, but he still coped with it and said, "Yes, yes, Dalang, Erlang, let dad see if you have grown taller."

Erlang rolled his eyes and said, "How can it grow so fast in only ten days? I'm not a green onion."

Dalang showed respect to his father, carrying a heavy basket of sour wild bayberries and asked Liu Ji to make some gestures.

Qin Yao didn’t expect that the bayberry soup for several people had been sold out, and the business was so good that they had to make a second batch.

　　Without concealing his surprise, he looked at Erlang and asked, "How much do you sell a bowl for?"

"Two coins a bowl." Erlang put down the basket he was carrying. There was a basket full of bayberries, but it was heavy.

Then he said enthusiastically: "Auntie, you don't know how much everyone likes the bayberry soup we make. In time for the autumn harvest, they are willing to spend money."

In the morning, Qin Yao went out on the front foot, Erlang and Dalang on the back carried clay pots containing bayberries, and Sanlang and Si Niang took bowls and spoons and went out.

Dalang said he was going to the village well. Erlang took the bayberry soup directly to the field and hawked it on the field ridge.

As soon as I opened the jar, someone noticed the smell and came up to ask.

Dalang was nervous and said that he would pay two cents for a bowl. Unexpectedly, he immediately asked for two bowls.

 It is said that the weather is too hot and the autumn harvest is too bitter, so spending it once in a while is not a big deal.

It might as well be a good thing. The four brothers and sisters walked through acres of rice fields and delivered them directly to their hands. They gave them the bayberry soup on credit, and then went back to the person's house to get the money.

As the morning progressed, the cans in the basket became lighter and lighter, and they were all sold out before I knew it.

Erlang pulled Qin Yao into the main room, looked at her expectantly, and then took out a linen bag from his arms.

 “Wow!” Pour it onto the dining table!

 Dozens of copper coins fell down, making a pleasant and clear sound.

 Thirty bowls of bayberry soup were sold, for a total of sixty coins.
