MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 197 Liu Erlang, you boy

It was still very cool in the mountains in early spring, so Qin Yao hitched the carriage.

 The sky was just beginning to turn white, so he took his four children and Liu Jinbao and set off.

I didn’t have time to make breakfast, so I ate rice dumplings made last night. The dumplings were mixed with lard residue, which was very fragrant and even chewier when cold.

There is no lunch school, so you have to bring your own food, and the ones you bring are rice balls.

 At least that's the case for now, because this is the only light meal Qin Yao can make now.

 Afterwards, she learns to make pancakes and so on, and she should be able to change her tricks.

The four brothers and sisters of Dalang did not have any hope for this. Dalang also said that they would prepare breakfast and lunch by themselves.

Qin Yao has no objection, and the pocket money will be given anyway. If he doesn't have enough to eat one day, he can also go to the town for an extra meal.

The carriage reached a fork in the road from another village, and along the way it took two children from other villages with them. Each of them was charged a penny to earn a small amount of traveling expenses.

 After walking for half an hour, we arrived at Xiahe Village.

The driver was already waiting at the intersection of Shangguan Road. He was a little surprised to see seven children getting off Qin Yao's car.

“Brother Coachman, I’m afraid your carriage will need to be widened. In the future, so many children will have to ride in your carriage when they go to school in the town.” Qin Yao teased.

By the way, he called the four Dalang brothers and sisters aside, pointed at them, and said seriously: "Remember, if you dare to hit other children, I will deal with you when you come back!"

“Also, if you are bullied by other children, just kneel on the washboard when you come back!”

The four men were stunned for a moment. They were shocked by these instructions. It turns out that you are such a stepmother.

However, the four brothers and sisters still made a serious promise not to bully others, nor to be bullied into kneeling on the washboard.

Qin Yao felt relieved and patted a few people on the back, "Go!"

 “Goodbye, grandma.” Siniang waved excitedly and climbed into the driver’s bullock cart expectantly.

Qin Yao watched them go away before driving back.

 When she got home and walked into the quiet yard, Qin Yao was very unaccustomed to it, so she simply closed the door and went to work in the water mill.

 Children are inexplicably anxious on their first day away from home for school.

 At one time, they were worried that their husband would put them in the last row and they would not be able to hear his lecture. At another time, they were worried that they would be laughed at by other children if they ate the rice **** brought from home for lunch, which would lead to a dispute.

Carpenter Liu noticed Qin Yao's anxious look and was afraid that she would break the stone plate, so he asked her to go aside and rest quickly.

At the same time, he made a funny comment: "I didn't expect that you, who is usually so calm, would be so anxious."

The lunch was brought by Carpenter Liu’s wife. Knowing that Qin Yao was there, she pretended to serve two people, but it was just the portion for ordinary people. Qin Yao ate it as if he had not eaten it.

But she wasn’t hungry at all today, and she still couldn’t finish a bowl of rice after plucking it many times.

Hearing Liu Carpenter's teasing, Qin Yao sighed: "Oh~, am I suffering from separation anxiety disorder?"

 But that’s not her biological child either. Can stepchildren also cause separation anxiety?

When Carpenter Liu saw Qin Yao not replying to him, he felt bored. After lunch, he took out the wooden board he used for recording and drew the style of the divine book box. Once the design was completed, he would get his piece of huanghuali. .

Qin Yao put down the empty bowl and stood up, took a look over, suddenly thought of something, and patted Carpenter Liu on the shoulder.

“Do you think we should prepare more wood?”

Carpenter Liu looked at the deserted factory shed, "Is it useful? There isn't much business here." Qin Yao tapped his wooden board with the clean end of her chopsticks, "I just remembered to do this, go now There are more children in the school, so there may be a market for our product.”

Liu Carpenter's heart suddenly moved, "Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"

Qin Yao raised her chin at him and said, "I'm going to collect the wood in the afternoon, and you'll put away the huanghuali material first."

Having been hanging out with Qin Yao for so long, Carpenter Liu knew that if he wanted to accomplish something, he had to prepare early and seize the opportunity.

At once he put away the board and took his empty bowl. The two locked the door and headed towards the village. They stopped by his house and put down the empty bowl.

 After the year, every household cut down some wood to dry at home, and cut bark and branches for burning.

The two of them walked for half an afternoon and received a dozen pieces of wood. The prices were 10 to 20% cheaper than outside. Even if they don't make a magical book box, it's still cost-effective to just stock up on materials.

 Qin Yao carried the purchased materials back, and Carpenter Liu was mainly responsible for bargaining, and the two of them cooperated tacitly.

Seeing that it was almost time for the children to get out of school, Qin Yao asked Carpenter Liu to continue to visit a few more stores to check, and after buying them, wait for her to come back to carry them, and then evacuate first.

　　I went home and hurriedly washed my hands, took out the ox cart, and pulled the cart to Xiahe Village to pick up the children from school.

She arrived early and waited for a quarter of an hour before she saw the driver returning with a cart full of dolls.

 Because each child also brought a box or bamboo frame for books, the oxcart was seriously overloaded, so it moved slowly.

Fortunately, the book boxes of the Dalang brothers and sisters can be stacked flat. Si Niang sat on the book box, surrounded by her three brothers, looking envious to others.

Before she even got close, Qin Yao heard the twins’ excited calls, “Auntie!”

Qin Yao led the ox cart a few steps forward and picked up the four children and Jin Bao in his cart. When moving the book box, she found that one was missing.

Erlang smiled fawningly at her.

Qin Yao frowned, "Where is your book box?"

Liu Erlang, don’t get scolded too much. How could you lose your schoolbag on the first day of school?

Erlang quickly explained, “I sold it!”

He pointed to Dalang's book box and said that his books were packed with his eldest brother and had not been lost.

Without waiting for Qin Yao to have an attack, he quickly stuffed the money hidden in his arms into her hand, and jumped onto the carriage board proudly, "Auntie, I have great news. You will be happy to hear it, but let's talk about it when we go home. ”

Qin Yao weighed the five pieces of silver in her hand in surprise. She suppressed her doubts for the time being and pointed at Erlang's forehead. She will take care of you when you go home.

Erlang didn't panic at all. He touched his chest. There was a thick stack of paper under his clothes. This was his confidence.

Because he wanted to figure out the situation quickly, Qin Yao drove the oxcart very fast. Jinbao was caught off guard and swayed on the cart. When he got to the door of his house, he almost vomited.

When Qin Yao saw her nephew's pale face, she realized it and said a little guiltily: "You kid, why didn't you say something if you felt uncomfortable?"

Jinbao's face turned pale and he said aggrievedly, "I wanted to open my mouth, but my mouth was full of sand, so I quickly shut up."

Qin Yao patted him on the shoulder pitifully, "I'm sorry, third aunt, please hurry up tomorrow. It's getting late, so go home quickly."

Jinbao tried his best to give his third aunt a nonchalant smile, then turned around and entered the house with his bamboo basket in hand.

Qin Yao said sorry again, and then took her children home.

As soon as the oxcart was packed up, Qin Yao came to the main room and sat down without even washing her hands. She slapped the five coins on the table and said, "Liu Erlang, please tell me the truth!"
