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

"Ah sneeze!"

Qin Yao got up early in the morning and opened the window to ventilate the room. She was caught off guard and sneezed heavily.

As soon as October entered, the temperature dropped sharply, and it started to rain a little bit in the past two days. The sky was overcast, and the house seemed dark and cold.

Qin Yao thought that she was hit by the cold morning wind, but did not think of a common saying - sneezing means that someone is thinking about her.

She opened the window gap smaller, turned around, opened the closet, and put on the newly made jacket that her sister-in-law and second sister-in-law helped to make. A thin layer of fluffy and soft cotton covered her upper body, and the cold air dissipated instantly.

Qin Yao walked out of the room and went to the backyard to do morning exercises. Da Lang came over after a while.

Erlang is indeed still young, and has weak willpower and difficulty persisting in things he is not interested in. Qin Yao does not embarrass him and allows him to sleep in during the winter.

If you have enough energy, you can also study hard.

Dalang is different. He already enjoys practicing martial arts without Qin Yao's supervision. He does morning exercises every day, unless it rains or winds.

The mother and son looked at each other and then practiced separately. Qin Yao mainly did strength exercises to maintain body sensitivity.

Dalang focused more on the basics. He got up early with a set of military boxing, and then squatted on the horse stance.

This one can squat for half an hour.

If you have a leisurely mind, you can memorize the book by the way, or just relax and think about nothing. The nine-year-old child, who originally looked mature because of being too sensible, is now more and more stable.

Qin Yao finished her exercise first, washed up and lit a fire to cook the stomach-nourishing millet porridge she had eaten in the morning. She also took out the new charcoal that the trustee bought from the town, burned a stove and put it in the main room. She closed the door to warm up the cold room. Warm up.

This was the first furnace of charcoal in early winter. If it hadn't been for the sneezing in the morning, Qin Yao would have thought about burning charcoal again in a few days.

But she couldn't bear the cold this morning, let alone the children. Anyway, there was no shortage of these charcoal money at home, so she could burn it early and enjoy it early.

Sure enough, the three people who got up next came out of bed with their faces red from the cold. When they noticed the heat in the main room, they immediately pushed the door open and rushed in. They first let out a cry of surprise, then sat around the charcoal stove and grilled themselves. The little hands and feet were warmed and felt very comfortable.

After the family of five had breakfast, Qin Yao specially asked before going out: "Remember not to close the windows, and come out for some fresh air from time to time to avoid being poisoned."

The four brothers and sisters already knew about carbon poisoning through Qin Yao's popular science, and they all responded in unison: "I know!"

In this way, Qin Yao took the account book and the bag containing broken silver and headed to the entrance of the village.

Today, October 15th, is the time agreed with Bai Shan to deliver the first batch of goods.

At the same time, it is also the day when wages are paid.

Last night, Qin Yao and Liu Carpenter had already checked the goods to be handed over today in advance to ensure that everything was safe before going to their respective homes.

The last batch of goods is 80% completed, and the remaining half a month is completely sufficient, and the delivery can be completed on time.

Therefore, Qin Yao woke up calmly this morning, just like usual.

On the other hand, the workers in the manufacturing plant were quite uneasy because this was the first day they completed production tasks and delivered goods.

Whether the guests are satisfied or not is very important to them. After all, who doesn’t want their efforts to be rewarded?

In the middle of the morning, Bai Shan arrived with his fleet of five vehicles.

Except for the annual grain payment, the small mountain village rarely sees so many horse-drawn carriages at once, and it is also rarely such a lively time.

Especially when the recruitment order came, most of the old and young men in the village left. The bleak atmosphere finally improved today.

The ladies, daughters-in-law, and children who had nothing to do in the village gathered around, curiously looking at this and touching that.

They were all made of stone and wood, so they were not afraid of damage, so they could let them go.

The cold winter days seem to be gradually warming up amid this noise.

Thirty sets of ultra-small water mills were delivered to the carriage by Qin Yao himself. After inspecting them one by one, Bai Shan nodded with satisfaction, leaving two smart young men who were learning installation and repair, and took the goods south first.

Before leaving, Bai Shan paid the second installment of sixty taels, leaving a balance of twenty taels, which could be settled in one lump sum the next time he picks up the goods.

Seeing the white money in Qin Yao's hands, all the workers in the factory burst into laughter.

As soon as Qin Yao turned around, she met a pair of expectant eyes and said with a smile: "I'm going to settle the accounts right now and pay you the monthly payment in the afternoon!"

Everyone laughed in unison and responded: "Okay!"

Qin Yao watched the workers return to their respective jobs. She and Carpenter Liu personally took the two young men left by Bai Shan to teach them how to install, how to prevent problems, and how to repair them if problems occurred. .

Qin Yao had already made preparations for this. She and Carpenter Liu made a after-sales hand-painted book when they had free time.

Big customers like Bai Shan can give a set as a gift.

The after-sales service manual has pictures and words. In addition to the installation steps, common and uncommon problems are also written.

Qin Yao first took two young men to their own water mill to observe it for half a day, and then gave them the after-sales hand-painted book to let them learn from the pictures.

If you don't know, come back to her or Carpenter Liu.

By the way, the two of them live in another town in Kaiyang County, which is far away from Liujia Village and it is inconvenient to travel there. They have to live in Liujia Village for the next half month.

The rooms in Liu Carpenter's house were packed and there was no room for them, so Qin Yao had to take the two of them back to her home.

When I opened the small room next to the main room that had been locked for a month, I was greeted by the smell of dust that had been unoccupied for a long time.

Qin Yao took two steps back, raised her hand to fan herself, and waited for a while before going in.

The window opened, and there was light in the dark little bedroom. It was a small room with a bed, a set of tables and chairs, and a wardrobe made of two wooden boxes. It was simple and neat.

"Come in." Qin Yao waved to the two boys outside, asking them to come in and take a look at the new dormitory.

The two young men were about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a tall and slender figure. There was a small bed that was 1.3 meters wide in the room, so it was no problem for them to squeeze in.

The two of them walked around and were very satisfied. They gratefully said to Qin Yao that they could do any work of fetching water and cutting firewood at home.

Qin Yao was not polite and immediately called Dalang and Erlang over and asked them to lead the two elder brothers to chop wood.

The weather is getting colder day by day, and firewood is useless in winter. The more firewood the better, never too much.

The firewood shed in the courtyard is already two-thirds full, and with a few more days of firewood to fill it up, it will be enough to burn until next spring.

With the addition of the two elder brothers, the woodshed was full in advance. Erlang and Dalang were secretly happy that they finally had time to pick chestnuts.

If they had been a little later, the chestnuts on the mountain would have been harvested by the children in the village.

On the low slope at the east end of the village, there is a chestnut forest. I don’t know whose family originally planted it. Later, no one took care of it, and it grew wildly. It became a favorite place for children in the village to hang out in early winter.
