MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 127 shit stick
Liu Ji walked into the main room and as soon as he put down the oil paper bag in his hand, Jinbao Jinhua ran to him and said, "Third uncle, third aunt."
Liu Ji raised his eyebrows, rubbed their heads, and opened the oil paper bag generously, revealing the fragrant pastries inside, "Take it and eat it."
The brother and sister wanted to leave after taking it, but Old Man Liu stopped him, "I haven't said thank you to your uncle yet, there are no rules!"
The brother and sister ran back in a panic and bowed to their uncle seriously, "Thank you, third uncle!"
After finishing, I glanced at my grandfather and saw that his eyebrows were relaxed, so I picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it.
Today is the festival, and only half of the sky is raining over the old house. The remaining half of the day is to take advantage of the festival to take a rest.
The millet that was beaten back was spread out on bamboo mats to dry in the sun. There was no place to set foot in the yard, so we just stepped on the millet.
Several children were playing together, and the grains jumped everywhere. Mrs. Zhang was so angry that she shouted: "Quickly go out and play in the village well!"
A few of them did not walk away, but stopped running. They squatted by the threshold and played with stones.
Qin Yao took a bowl of new grains and put it on the sacred table in the center of the courtyard. He also borrowed three sticks of incense from the old house, lit them and asked Liu Ji to come and bow three times, put the incense and finish the work.
Mrs. Qiu looked at the new grain and said with envy: "This grain is so well-formed."
Her belly has grown and she is now very pregnant. She is not allowed to do the heavy work at home. However, her son is busy with the farm and there are not enough manpower. In order to save a labor force, she insists on taking care of the meals for the whole family at home.
Today is also a festival. Everyone is thinking about He's craftsmanship, so the person in charge of the spoon is changed.
Qin Yao walked over and took a look at her belly. It looked like she had half a basketball on her waist. All the flesh on her body was growing here, and her face was still very thin.
“Second sister-in-law, you should have given birth in the twelfth lunar month, right?” Qin Yao asked curiously.
Mrs. Qiu nodded, "It's almost the same. I guess it's the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, when the farm is slack in winter, so it's a suitable time. It won't delay the work in the fields. This little guy knows how to choose a day."
Mrs. Qiu touched her belly, maybe because she felt embarrassed. After a long pause, Qin Yao felt she had nothing to say and wanted to go to the kitchen to see what was being cooked. She suddenly spoke.
“Brother and sister, you and Carpenter Liu are going to build a water mill workshop, so you have to recruit a lot of people, right?”
Qin Yao nodded, "There should be more than a dozen disc polishers and carpenters."
She guessed what Qiu wanted to say next.
Sure enough, I wanted to recommend two people to her, one was her aunt's son, and the other was her aunt's son. They were both young men in their fifteenth and sixteenth years. Their families were poor and they were not married yet. They wanted to find some work to earn some money so that they could marry a wife. .
Qin Yao glanced towards the kitchen and saw that Mr. He's ears were already perked up. As expected, Mr. He was also waiting to push someone for her.
Qin Yao has already made a promise to the village chief and clan chief about this matter, giving priority to people from the same village, so the quota of workers will not fall to people from other villages.
As for Liujia Village, this is not enough. The two people who worked with Liu Carpenter before will definitely continue to use it. Counting the three Liu Bai brothers, there are five places left.
She plans to recruit eighteen people, and there are thirteen places left. Shunzi has to keep one, so there are only twelve left.
However, Qin Yao didn't finish her words, "The farm work is very busy right now, and there are probably not many people who are willing to leave it in the fields. If there are any left, I will naturally give priority to our own family. Second sister-in-law, don't worry."
you?
He in the kitchen raised the corners of his mouth slightly when he heard this word. He felt relieved knowing that Qin Yao had not left her behind.
Zhang's sharp eyes glanced over several times, and Qin Yao had already made it clear. Qiu did not continue the topic and went into the kitchen to help.
Liu Zhong stood up and went to help him, but Qiu pushed him out with a blushing face.
Liu Zhong was really about to return to the main room to rest. Liu Ji said quickly: "Second brother, you are so polite when people are being polite to you. You can't see it. Second sister-in-law has a big belly. You are so embarrassed!" "It's my turn!" You tell me?" Liu Zhong retorted stupidly.
But for Liu Ji, there was no harm at all.
Liu Ji clicked his tongue twice, "What are you doing standing still? Go in and help! You don't see my second sister-in-law carrying soup!"
Liu Zhong groaned angrily and widened his eyes, feeling that he was so annoying that he was standing here, not around.
Liu Ji opened his mouth to stir things up, but Qin Yao glanced at him coldly and then shut up angrily.
Liu Zhong’s dark face was so hot that he was about to explode. In the end, he stayed with Liu Jijian and refused to help. He sat on the bench and stabbed Liu Ji:
“I think everyone is as incompetent as you. Which family has a man like you entering the kitchen?”
Liu Jiqie made a sound and didn't take it seriously. He looked at Qin Yao proudly and raised his eyebrows.
“I feel sorry for my wife. Who is as stupid as you? The soup has been served, and I don’t know how to pick it up. Why are you showing off to me here as a man?”
Seeing that Mrs. Qiu's face was so red that it was bleeding, Qin Yao shouted, "Liu Ji, you will die if you don't speak, right?"
Since there were so many people at home, Liu Ji didn't panic at all. Instead, he muttered: "I can't bear to see some men putting on a show here."
“Oh, just ask my wife if you want me to help you. If she says no, then she will really go back. Who can’t be a hypocrite~”
Qin Yao really wished she could chop off his tongue with a knife now.
However, what he said seems to make sense, why?
Ms. Qiu put down the soup bowl and was also startled. She glanced at her man suspiciously. Was he just pretending?
Liu Zhong was startled. He was embarrassed to persist in front of his family before, but now he suddenly realized that his wife was about to be instigated by that **** Liu Ji. He hurriedly stood up and held her down regardless of whether Mrs. Qiu was willing or not. After sitting down, he rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to bring out all the remaining dishes.
Looking at Mrs. Qiu's happy look, Liu Ji suddenly felt bored and sighed secretly.
As a result, he was immediately kicked on the calf, which was so painful that he almost screamed.
“You are just a **** stirrer.” Qin Yao gritted her teeth and said in a low voice behind Liu Ji.
Liu Ji finally calmed down when he noticed the chilling murderous aura.
Didn’t he also want to teach his brothers at home to be considerate and considerate to each other, but his good intentions were regarded as insignificant.
After all, it was a festival, and the autumn harvest had just begun, so He cooked solid white rice and fried three vegetables and one soup. They were all super large portions, enough for the whole family to eat.
However, there was no meat in the dish, and only the shredded egg flakes in the soup could barely be considered meaty. Compared with Qin Yao's family's meal of fried meat slices every now and then, it was far behind.
But He's craftsmanship is really excellent, and everyone is very popular.
Qin Yao is more restrained and only eats three bowls of rice before putting down her chopsticks.
But the treatment is higher than that of Liu Laohan and his son. The women only get one bowl, the men get two bowls, and the children also get one bowl. Qin Yao is the only one among the three bowls.
Liu Ji also wanted to add a third bowl, but Old Man Liu gave him a hard look.
He doesn't care at all. Filling his stomach is important. He has been short of work these days. How can he recover and study well if he doesn't eat more?
Ignoring the daggers coming from behind, I filled myself a bowl and pressed it down with a rice spoon.
