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

I'm coming!

Little Laifu led Saburo, and the two of them ran all the way back from the mountain pass at the entrance of the village, shouting excitedly as they ran.

When Dalang and Erlang who were waiting in front of the stationery factory heard this, they were shocked and immediately ran back to the entrance of the village.

I only heard Erlang shouting loudly: Uncle Awang, my mother and father are back!

Awang and Yin Le, who were studying under the copper bell in the village, immediately stopped and stood up.

Ngawang rang the bell to remind the villagers to gather.

Yin Le immediately picked up the banner placed on the stone table, took one side himself, and threw the other side to Awang.

The two people stepped away from each other, and with a snap, a banner made of red cloth slowly unfolded.

Seeing everyone in the village quickly gathering with drums and gongs, the two looked at each other, raised banners and stepped forward to greet them.

Madam, did you hear anything?

At the col, Liu Ji, who was sitting on the shaft of the car, moved his ears slightly and asked suspiciously behind him.

Qin Yao was sitting in the car with her eyes closed and concentrating. After hearing the words, she opened her eyes and listened carefully. The gongs and drums were loud and getting closer and closer.

After a while, the carriage drove out of the mountain col, and suddenly two firecrackers fell from the sky. The crackling sound of firecrackers shocked the one horse and three people.

Qin Yao leaned out of the carriage, raised her eyes to look at the place where the noisy gongs and drums were happening, and her eyes widened instantly.

I saw a lot of people in front of me, and with that posture, it was estimated that the whole village of Liujia Village, young and old, were here.

The first thing that caught my eye was a bright red banner that read: Welcome scholar Liu Ji back home!

Under the banner was a big drum that Qin Yao had never seen before. Dalang stood behind it and saw her looking over. The wooden hammer in his hand fell dong dong, and the sound of the drum was loud.

Behind the drums were people from the Liu family's old house holding colored cloths and waving them vigorously.

The rest of the folks gathered around him and shouted the message on the banner: Welcome the scholar Liu Ji to return home!

The loud voice first stunned Liu Ji for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the corners of his mouth couldn't be restrained and began to rise crazily. He almost didn't need to think, and instinctively stood up from the shaft of the car, waving his arms and responded enthusiastically: Folks, I, Liu Laosan, am back!

After receiving the response, everyone was even more excited and wanted to dance to death with the colorful cloth in their hands.

Song Yu speeded up the carriage and arrived in front of everyone. Siniang rushed out with a handful of wild flowers in her arms, handed them to her father with a smile, and then without looking at her father's open arms, she jumped on the carriage and threw herself into her arms. .

Qin Yao patted her little head, looked at Awang and Yin Le holding the banner high, twitched the corner of her mouth, forced a smile to cope with the enthusiasm of the villagers, gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice:

Whose idea was this?

Si Niang told A Niang: We all came up with the idea together, but it was my grandfather who took the lead.

Mom, the banquet has been set at home. We all had a meal yesterday before you came. The eldest aunt, the second aunt, and the relatives from my grandmother's family are all here!

As he spoke, he pointed to the big drum that his eldest brother could beat on his head, and said, This big drum was borrowed from the second uncle's mother's village.

Mom, is my dad really a scholar? Siniang asked in surprise with her eyes wide open in anticipation.

Qin Yao nodded, and the smile on her lips became a little thicker, Yes, the last one.

Si Niang doesn’t care what the ranking is. Anyway, if A Niang says yes, it means that Dad is a real scholar now!

The little girl leaned in her grandma's arms and smiled as she looked at the tall figure who was already surrounded by villagers heading towards the village. She suddenly felt that her grandpa looked like her grandpa today.

Village Chief, congratulations! You are now the scholar's wife!

Liu Dafu walked out of the crowd and came to the carriage, smiling and congratulating.

Many villagers who were familiar with Qin Yao also followed closely to congratulate Qin Yao. Soon, the carriage was surrounded by water.

Unlike Liu Ji, who was like a fish in water, Qin Yao was simply afraid of such crowded situations, so she barely managed a few words, signaled Song Yu to drive, and fled home.

However, when we arrived at the door of the house, we realized what was going on. Just now, Siniang said that a banquet had been prepared at home.

The backyard of the home has been expanded, the courtyard wall has been fenced, most of the house has been built, and the rest is a spacious open space.

At this time, a long flowing water mat was placed in the front yard. The backyard was even more exaggerated, with three running water mats, which shocked Qin Yao.

Ah! The head of Liujia Village is here!

I don't know who shouted this, and Qin Yao, who had just escaped from the village entrance, was instantly surrounded by relatives from other villages who stayed in the courtyard.

Si Niang looked at A Niang's stiff smiling face, covered her mouth and snickered, slipped out of the carriage and went to move the reinforcements.

Because Qin Yao drove the carriage faster than Liu Ji and his party on foot, Liu Ji and other Liujiacun troops were still behind.

According to the rules, Old Man Liu dragged him to the ancestral hall and knelt down to worship his ancestors. After completing the ceremony, everyone went to Qin Yao's house.

Daddy! Si Niang took advantage of her young age and wormed her way into the crowd like a loach. She came to the proud daddy and tugged on his sleeve. Only then did the old father lower his head and look at her.

Si Niang didn't say anything, she just said: My mother is calling you!

The old father suddenly woke up and repeatedly waved his hands to reject the invitations from the villagers to have a drink with him. While reaching out to push away the brothers who were blocking the way, he ran toward home, shouting:

Come, come, come to my house. I'll bring out the good wine. You won't come home until you're drunk tonight!

Everyone smiled and followed in great numbers.

The children were the happiest. Dalang Jinbao took the lead, followed by a long string of little tails, running around the yard, not letting go of any delicious food.

The table was all ready and everyone was gathered. He and Li waved their big spoons to start the banquet!

The half fan of pork bought by Qin Yao was not used at all. Old man Liu took out all his personal money and bought a whole fat pig, which had enough meat and vegetables.

Although Mrs. Zhang complained about others going crazy, Liu Ji really gave everyone a face this time, so he would just let them go crazy for a few days.

The night when Qin Yao was elected village chief was not as lively as today. Even though she didn't have to worry about the whole banquet, she was still in a daze.

It wasn't until midnight that everyone dispersed and the courtyard became quiet. Looking at the mess all over the courtyard, he felt a little awake.

Liu Ji was already drunk and unconscious. Awang carried him to the study room, where he had difficulty grooming his handsome elder, and then withdrew.

There was a pile of pots and pans left after the banquet. Awang cleaned up the front yard, Li was responsible for the backyard, Song Yu and Xiao Laifu also helped, otherwise they wouldn't be able to collect them all.

The four brothers, Dalang and his sister, went crazy with the children in the village, and their mother-in-law didn't even have time to come over to see them when she got home. At this time, the battery was exhausted, and he lay in the room and fell asleep.

After all, this is the first time in their lives that they feel the positive care from their father.

The villagers who used to dislike and despise them now simply praise them to the sky.

Suddenly faced with so much care and kindness, even a mature adult might inevitably feel a bit vain, let alone a few children who had been ostracized before.

Qin Yao looked at the bright crescent moon outside the window, smiled lightly, placed the preserved fruits she bought on the children's bedside, and kissed their foreheads one by one: Good night. (End of Chapter)
