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

Qin Yao took a short nap comfortably. When she woke up, the sun was already setting in the west, and the glow was very beautiful.

The aroma of rice came from the kitchen, and Erlang was carefully bringing in a bowl of loofah and egg soup.

Sanlang and Si Niang were like guardians, following the second brother. Although they did not serve the dishes themselves, it was obvious from their expressions that they were working very hard.

Seeing Qin Yao wake up, Siniang immediately shifted her attention and came over, leaning on A Niang's knee, A Niang, are you thirsty?

Well, sort of.

Then I'll get you some water.

The little cotton-padded jacket immediately stood up and went to the long table behind him. He stood on tiptoe and carefully took down the long-mouthed clay pot filled with water and placed it on the dining table. He also brought Qin Yao's commonly used bamboo cup, filled it with a cup of water, and held it over Hand it to her.

When building a water mill a long time ago, there were a few sections of bamboo left. Qin Yao picked them up and made six water cups.

Each cup was engraved with its own name. When she used this cup, a very abstract Yao character was engraved on it.

The remaining four brothers and sisters are marked one, two, three and four according to their ranking, so they are easy to identify.

Qin Yao drank water and while waiting for dinner, Carpenter Liu came.

Before entering, he went around to the back of the house to take a look at Lao Huang, who was eating grass, and then came in with a curious look on his face.

Get rich? Liu Carpenter asked jokingly.

The two had close contacts because of their cooperation on the waterwheel project. Carpenter Liu regarded Qin Yao as his own, and he skillfully found a wooden stool to sit down at the dinner table.

Smelling the alluring aroma of meat, I opened the cover and took a look, my eyes widened instantly.

What did you do? This time he looked a little frightened.

Qin Yao put the cover back on without any intention of leaving any food, and said with a smile: It is indeed a small fortune.

She thought that everyone would know that she was going to spend money anyway, and since this was a rural area and not a county town, she didn't have to worry about stealing the limelight.

Instead, she should make some limelight to prevent others from thinking that her family is easy to bully.

Qin Yao briefly talked about how she helped the government eliminate the horse bandits.

Carpenter Liu came here to tell Qin Yao that these waterwheels have been completed and asked her to come with him to install them for customers in the future.

Leng Buding was a little excited when he heard such a big thing as taking the king's head, and almost forgot to talk to Qin Yao about the business.

After finally finishing speaking, Qin Yao pushed him out of the house. He was in a trance and didn't know when he arrived at the open space beside the village well.

So, as soon as Qin Yao's family finished a sumptuous dinner, which was delicious and delicious, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Dalang was washing dishes with Siniang when Erlang and Sanlang ran over to open the door.

The door opened, and a dazzling fire suddenly appeared in front of them, making the two brothers hurriedly take several steps back.

The village chief, clan chief, people from the Liu family's old house, and many villagers in the village all came.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows in surprise, what are you doing?

She didn't dare to invite so many people into the house, so she got up and came to the door, wondering: What do you want to do?

Old man Liu asked first: From the third family, Carpenter Liu said that the government has taken care of the gang of horse bandits. Is it true or false?

Qin Yao nodded, Really, people from the government should go to the villages to report tomorrow.

The village chief asked: When did it happen?

Just this morning, the news has spread all over the county.

The dark clouds weighing on the people's heads just dispersed, and the villagers couldn't believe it.

Great, this is great! The patriarch's eyes were red with excitement.

An old man from the village immediately knelt down towards the county seat and kowtowed heavily, Thank you, Mr. Qingtian, thank you, Mr. Qingtian -

Some villagers got the accurate news and rushed down the mountain with torches, running around to tell each other. The village was full of joy.

A wave of people dispersed, but the village chief, clan chief, and people from the Liu family's old house were still there.

Several people looked at each other, and it was Old Man Liu who stepped forward and tentatively asked Qin Yao:

Carpenter Liu said you posted a reward announcement. Is that true?

Really. Qin Yao admitted too quickly. Old Man Liu paused for two seconds before asking her with wide eyes: Did you chop off King Xiang's head?

Qin Yao said: To be precise, I chopped off the heads of King Xiang and the three kings around him.

Here. She pointed to the back of the house, The horse I rode back was given to me by the county magistrate.

The village chief and clan chief exclaimed in unison: Have you met the county magistrate yet?

Qin Yao nodded, The county magistrate is very grateful to me.

The two old men looked at her with different eyes.

At this moment, in the eyes of the two elders, Qin Yao is no longer an ordinary commoner with some skills, but a heroine who has been admired by her parents, officials and the county magistrate!

Qin Yao yawned loudly, Sorry, I haven't slept all day and night. I'm a little tired.

The village chief and clan chief hurriedly told her to take a good rest and withdrew very wisely.

In front of the house, only the four old men Liu and his son were left with complicated expressions. They didn't know what to say to Qin Yao.

After an eerie silence for a while, Liu Bai said that the stone mill had been finished, so that Qin Yao could rest assured, and asked her to close the door and rest, and to talk about anything tomorrow.

Dad, please wait a moment.

Qin Yao stopped the father and son, returned to the house, took out another unopened oil paper bag and handed it to Liu Fei.

The young man sniffed and his eyes suddenly lit up, Thank you, Sister-in-law!

You're welcome, I just brought you one. It's freshly prepared by the chef of the county restaurant.

Qin Yao mentioned that the horse at home didn't have a place to sleep, and Old Man Liu waved his hand to reassure her that he would come and help her build a nest for Old Huang tomorrow morning.

Qin Yao watched the father and son go down the mountain, turned around and went to the back of the house, took off the saddle from the horse and put it in the house. She also brought a bucket of water to it and put it there. She closed the door, washed away the dirty clothes, and the family simply washed up. After a while, everyone went back to their houses to sleep.

She slept deeply and for a long time, and had several strange dreams.

The abandoned high-rise buildings of the apocalypse and the bustling courtyards of ancient times are constantly intertwined. The head of King Xiang and the face of the county magistrate appear repeatedly. It is not until dawn and the consciousness becomes clearer that these dreams end.

Continue to sleep and wake up refreshed. Liu Bai and Liu Zhong were already busy outside the back door.

In the eyes of the villagers in Liujia Village, bamboo is the best and most convenient building material. When it is needed, just go into the bamboo forest and chop a few branches, then tidy up the branches and use them directly.

Bamboo is also easy to drill holes, and strong hemp rope can be passed through the holes to tie two sections of bamboo together.

The stable is built next to the back door and against a courtyard wall, making it easier to build a shed.

Dalang and Erlang have returned from morning exercises and are helping their two uncles.

Sanlang and Siniang sat on the desk in their room, shaking their heads and reciting the morning reading task assigned by their second brother. Both of them didn't even open their eyes completely, staring in confusion and being naive.

Although Liu Ji, the chef, went to the academy, Qin Yao didn't have to cook.

She got dressed and came out of the room to wash up. The two older children had already warmed their breakfast of millet porridge on the stove.

Qin Yao, who had seen many naughty children, felt very comforted.
