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

The rice in the fields is starting to turn yellow.

This year is the first time that the villagers of Liujiacun follow Qin Yao in planting using intensive farming methods. When the harvest is about to come, their hearts are lifted.

Coupled with the previous grain shortage, not only farmers are very concerned about the autumn harvest, but officials in Kaiyang County are also paying close attention to this year's autumn harvest.

Old man Liu now goes out three times a day, looking at the rice ears and rice straws, and finally runs back to see if the water in the fields has been released.

When I feel the bulges in the ears of rice, I feel at ease when I go to sleep, and I smile all day long.

When I had free time, I would go to the field of Lao San’s family to help take a look. After passing the melon field, I saw a few children from the village sneaking down the field ridge with something in their arms. I realized that I had encountered a melon thief and chased after him with great strides. .

"What are you guys holding in your arms?"

The four or five and a half young men didn't expect to be caught red-handed, so they quickly hid their things in the grass, shook their hands behind their backs and said, "It's nothing!"

Old man Liu stood on the ridge of the field, pointed at these boys condescendingly, and shouted angrily: "Still quibbling? Give me back the melons hidden in the grass!"

"It's not from your family!" Liu Daniu shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Hey!" Old Man Liu choked, but before he could say anything more, Liu Xiaoniu followed his brother's lead and said, "You are no longer a family, and we don't have any melons either. Please don't accuse us unjustly."

When Qin Yao returned home from the factory, she looked up and saw Old Man Liu on the other side of the river. Seeing him standing on the edge of his field, he called out in confusion: "Dad, are you here to pick melons?"

The boys were covered by bushes and under the ridge of the field. Qin Yao didn't see them and just felt strange.

Unexpectedly, when Liu Daniu and the others heard her voice, their faces changed with fright. They stopped asking for melons and ran towards the foot of the mountain without saying anything to Old Man Liu.

Only then did Qin Yao see someone in the grass. She had already guessed it, so she smiled helplessly and walked towards the other side of the river.

Old man Liu had already found the melons stolen by the children from the grass, held them in his hands and said angrily: "These stinky boys, I saw them with my own eyes carrying melons, and they still dare to quibble, let me go back and sue them." Mom, let them eat and beat them, so that they can remember them for a long time!"

Seeing that Qin Yao was still laughing, Old Man Liu urged her to quickly count the melons in the field to see if there were any less.

Qin Yao was reminded by this, and then she remembered the points. At this point, she was really missing three melons.

And the traces are also very obvious. She picked it by herself and cut it with a knife, and the vine mouth was neat.

The three lost ones had their melons and vines pulled so terribly that they looked like they had been torn off by force.

This made Old Man Liu feel distressed, "Damn you little brat, you are committing evil!"

Qin Yao shook her head, "Forget it, I'll ask Awang to come over and keep an eye on it next time."

If I really sue my wife, it will appear that they are too stingy for being so fussy.

Old man Liu was so angry that he just said this. When Qin Yao said forget it, he sighed, "It's still a waste of money."

If you have money, come and buy it.

Some people from the village also came to buy them, and they cost 200 coins each. They chose them by themselves, but they were only eaten once, and they would never be willing to spend another 200 coins.

Comparing the three golden flowers, golden treasures and big hairs at home, relying on his third aunt, he could eat whatever he wanted, and even eat until he got upset. Old man Liu felt that he was too arrogant.

"We are all children, how can we not be greedy?" Qin Yao knew what Old Man Liu was thinking and said with a warm smile.

Old man Liu was not as open-minded as she was, so he just felt distressed that it was a waste. He looked at the melon in his hand and said helplessly:

"It could have been kept for a few more days, but now that it has been taken off, the little ones are really happy."

Qin Yao asked Old Man Liu if he was not busy. Old Man Liu nodded. The autumn harvest had not started yet, so there was no need to worry about the beans and peanuts grown in the fields. He was indeed a little busy.

Qin Yao nodded to the melon field, "You can choose two melons and take them to the village well, cut them into pieces and sell them. Any five or ten melons will do."

She did overestimate her appetite before eating enough watermelon.

Now that there are so many more, I might as well cut them into slices and sell them. The price is low and the children in the village can afford them, so they don’t have to steal them.

Old Man Liu thought this was a good idea, "Then I will help you sell it, and the money earned will be sent to your home by Jinbao."

Qin Yao said yes, and Old Man Liu became happy again and had something to do.

He immediately picked out a melon that didn't look very good-looking, and took it home with the one he had just picked up. He asked Mrs. Zhang to set up a stall and became a melon seller.

Sliced ​​melons are sold for five cents a piece, which not only makes children greedy, but also adults.

Especially the workers in the factory know that melons are sold in the village well, so they come over to buy a piece after work.

You won’t feel this cold melon until you’ve tasted it, but once you’ve tasted it, you can’t give it up. Only after eating it every day do you feel comfortable.

Factory workers have money in their hands, and they don't think it's expensive even if they spend five cents. Many of them buy half and half of the food and take it home, planning to give it to their families to try.

Business was surprisingly good, and Old Man Liu felt full of accomplishment. No wonder Qin Yao loves doing business so much. It turns out that the feeling of buying and selling is so wonderful.

It was almost dusk, and the road construction team was chatting and laughing before returning from work, when they saw a strange young man appear behind them.

The man was dressed like a scholar. He looked elegant in a long gown. He had a baggage on his shoulder and walked quickly, as if he couldn't wait to go home.

The man noticed these glances, raised his head, his eyes full of confusion, and whispered in a low voice: I went the wrong way?

The two women in the team felt their eyes suddenly light up, their mouths slightly opened in surprise, and they stood there blankly - this man was too handsome!

"Are you?" Liu Ji looked suspiciously at the Huangque Town refugees who seemed to be on the same road as him, and pointed forward, "Going to Liujia Village?"

The mute nodded, pointed at him, and asked if he was from Liujia Village.

Liu Ji wondered why there was still a mute, but he still nodded and said: "Yes, I am from Liujia Village, you don't look like people from our village."

The two women, who were standing still, finally came to their senses and explained a little excitedly: "We are refugees from Huangque Town. Thanks to you Liujia Village people for taking us in, we are now helping your village build roads to earn a living."

"This... Young Master." The woman was embarrassed. She finally came up with a title that matched the handsome man in front of her. She asked curiously: "Which family in Liujia Village are you from? We haven't seen you before. Do you stay outside often?"

When Liu Ji heard what they said, he finally let go of his vigilance. As he walked, he smiled and said, "I often go to the county academy, but since you stay in our village, you must have heard of my name."

Everyone who was mute looked over expectantly, waiting for him to reveal his name.

Liu Ji smiled confidently, raised his chin and said, "I'm Liu Ji, I'm on my third visit at home, and my wife's name is Qin Yao."

After saying that, wait to see their jaws dropped. (End of chapter)
