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

Qin Yao divided a pot of soup into five bowls as usual, ensuring that each person had three or four pieces of egg drop in their bowl.

The taro has been roasted and put in the fire in advance when cooking. The vegetables are ready and the taro is cooked.

Qin Yao fried the remaining half handful of green vegetables with a little oil from yesterday. It was a small bowl, but it looked green and very appetizing.

This food with oil and salt is different. Qin Yao said: Let's eat. Apart from the sound of eating, there was no other sound in the room.

After dinner, Dalang consciously packed up the dishes and washed them.

Qin Yao moved the straw rope to the door and continued to weave straw sandals under the light of the torch at the door.

The children at home licked the foam at the corners of their mouths and actively did what they could, looking forward to having such a good meal tomorrow.

With the encouragement brought by food, everyone was full of energy.

In the morning, Qin Yao took Dalang Erlang up the mountain to chop firewood and store up firewood.

At noon, I knitted straw sandals at home. In the afternoon, when people in the village returned home from their busy work, they took the straw sandals to the village well and set up a stall to sell them.

Two days later, I went to Nanshan alone to dig enough taro for three days. When I came back, I spent the rest of the time either knitting straw sandals or selling straw sandals.

The first batch of people to buy straw sandals found that the straw sandals made by Qin Yao were easy to wear and strong. They also wanted to buy a pair for their families. Because the shoe size was not suitable, they placed several orders.

Thanks to Qin Yao's strength, the straw ropes she weaves are tighter and more controllable than ordinary people's, and the straw sandals she weaves use more materials and are more solid than others.

Liu Merchant took the four pairs of straw sandals that Qin Yao had asked him to sell on his behalf to the town to sell them. The sharp-eyed farmer bought two pairs in one go and took them home.

A pair cost five cents, and the salesman Liu earned half of it. He actively promoted the remaining two pairs and sold them quickly.

Some people who haven't bought it asked him when he would come back, and they want it too.

As a result, Qin Yao got another order for five pairs of straw sandals for both men and women from Liu Merchant, and settled the payment for the previous four pairs of straw sandals, which was a total of ten coins.

The sales in the village in the past two days were not bad. From the spot goods sold and the pre-orders, a total of twelve pairs were sold, earning thirty-six cents.

Including the ten coins this time and the five coins left before, Qin Yao now has a total of fifty-one copper coins in his hand.

Fifty-one cents seemed like a lot, but I couldn't even buy a thin quilt.

Qin Yao should have been happy that Liu Merchant had opened up the market, but the fact is that the raw materials she has left now are only enough for the order of ten pairs.

She had to give her the goods first and then settle the payment. She had to wait for Merchant Liu to sell them first before settling the payment for her.

From Liujiacun to the nearest Jinshi Town, it was a fast trip, and it took three hours to go back and forth. If she took it to the town to sell it by herself, all the time spent during the day would be wasted.

Balancing the two aspects can only allow people to make more money.

After seeing off Liu Guolang, Qin Yao ordered six cents and handed it to Erlang, Liu Guolang is back. You go to his house and buy two kilograms of brown rice.

Can the food be improved again? !

The eyes of the four brothers and sisters all looked over, full of expectation.

Erlang excitedly took the money and ran towards Liu Guolang's house.

Stop! Qin Yao shouted.

You didn’t even take the clay pot, but you want to hold the rice back with your hands?

After giving Dalang a wink, Dalang quickly picked out a clay pot filled with water and handed it to his younger brother.

In the end, she was still a little worried. She looked back at Qin Yao and asked in a low voice: Auntie, can I go with Erlang?

Qin Yao waved her hand, Go back quickly.

Sanlang and Siniang sat on the small wooden pier used by Qin Yao to chop firewood. They held their chins in their hands and looked at the backs of their brothers as they left, licking the corners of their mouths in anticipation.

The two of them are young and look even younger. Qin Yao doesn't let them work because she wants to take good care of the two little ones.

If conditions allowed, Dalang and Erlang would have to take good care of them, but there is no way. Now this condition does not allow it at all.

Thanks to these two little helpers in the past few days, she didn't have a black eye, and she didn't have anyone to ask if she wanted to do something.

Dalang and Erlang quickly bought the brown rice, and the two brothers rushed home happily. After eating with Qin Yao in the past few days, their faces looked much better.

When Liu Bai led his son Jinbao back from the fields, he saw the two brothers running towards each other, and he was a little afraid to recognize them.

He called out tentatively: Dalang, Erlang?

The two boys stopped and turned to look over. Erlang even tightened the clay pot in his arms, looking wary.

I was relieved when I saw it was my uncle.

Liu Bai came over and asked curiously: What are you two doing? It's going to rain in two days. Have you finished planting wheat at home?

The two boys said nothing, looked at him, then looked at Liu Jinbao, turned around, and ran away.

Liu Bai sighed helplessly, and wanted to take care of these two poor nephews, but seeing the two brothers' silent expressions, he felt that his hot face was against his cold buttocks, and he was very unhappy.

Forget it, let them go, their own father doesn't care!

Liu Jinbao asked: Dad, we don't have to go to the fields tomorrow, right?

Liu Bai hummed: I'm not going, I've finished planting. I've been busy for a while, so I can take a breather.

Liu Jinbao was so happy that he finally no longer had to go to the ground!

The father and son worked in the fields for a day. Although Liu Jinbao was just helping out and his father was the main laborer, for an eight-year-old child, this day's physical exertion was also incredible.

The two returned home hungry. The women were just preparing the food. Old man Liu, Liu Zhong and Liu Fei, who had gone to another field, came in later. Without any words, the whole family picked up their rice bowls and started eating.

While eating, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

Everyone in the Liu family was surprised when they saw the person coming.

Qin Yao stood at the door, pushed out Dalang and Erlang who were hiding behind them, patted the two brothers on the back, Call someone.

The two brothers were forced to call people, grandma, grandma, uncle, uncle, second uncle, second uncle, brother-in-law, brother Jinbao, sister Jinhua, all at once.

Only then did everyone in the Liu family who were having dinner in the courtyard react and stood up in unison.

Zhang asked tentatively: Have you eaten the food from Lao San's family?

Qin Yao replied: Eat.

As soon as the words fell, a sigh of relief was heard.

It's not just that you're here for dinner.

Qin Yao also took the opportunity to identify all the unfamiliar faces in the courtyard.

The short one with a round face is the elder sister-in-law He, and the tall one with a pointed face is the second sister-in-law Qiu.

The middle-aged woman who just asked the question should be her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang.

Qin Yao led the two children in and smiled at everyone at the dinner table. Everyone, keep eating. Don't worry about me. I'll talk to my parents about something and leave after I finish.

The second elder felt excited. The third elder's family finally thought of borrowing money to redeem someone?

The second elder pretended to be confused, signaled the family to continue eating, and called Qin Yao, mother and son into the main room.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yao's first words were: I want to buy two acres of wheat seeds from you.

The two elders were stunned together: The third elder can't be saved?
