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

After Liu Ji enjoyed this delicious mouthful of human food, he opened his eyes and saw four children holding white porridge, watching him swallowing saliva eagerly.

Oh, I almost forgot, their stepmother punished them not to eat meat tonight, Qin Yao slapped all the chopsticks that they had just stretched out, and they were only allowed to eat vegetables.

Liu Ji said "tsk tsk~" in sympathy and started eating his dinner happily.

A small bowl of sparrow meat, which he had just thought would be unpalatable for so many people to eat together, but who would have thought that it would be shared between him and Qin Yao, a wicked woman.

One person only has half a bowl, that's enough, he's not greedy. Liu Jim thought happily.

Qin Yao also felt that today's dishes were particularly fragrant, one bite after another, so delicious that she felt like she was back before the end of the world, when she went home for the winter vacation from college.

Her parents cooked a table full of her favorite dishes, which were all delicious and delicious.

But since then, it has become a luxury to want to eat stir-fried vegetables.

The four Dalang brothers and sisters drank thick white porridge and nibbled on crispy vegetables. This was already a good meal, but it was tasteless.

Erlang thought in his heart that it was all because the stepmother had eaten so well that they felt that the white porridge with vegetables was tasteless. They were just like the young masters of the landowners who were not satisfied with eating dragon meat.

Facing four pairs of eyes that were as bright as light bulbs and full of longing, Liu Ji didn't have any conscience and wanted to give each of them a small piece to taste.

Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity that no one knew about this rare occasion when his cooking skills were so good?

Unexpectedly, as soon as he took out a piece of meat, Qin Yao's cold eyes glanced over.

"You don't want to eat it, do you?"

She stretched the bowl in front of him and said, "If you don't want to eat it, give it to me."

With that said, with a few chopsticks, he put all the five pieces of sparrow meat left in Liu Ji's bowl into his own bowl, one bite at a time, it was so delicious.

Liu Ji immediately glanced at the four children angrily, "Look, dad doesn't have to eat either."

The four siblings bit their chopsticks, the expectations in their eyes completely extinguished.

Sanlang and Si Niang were so greedy that they cried. The two little crybabies shed tears and choked with sobs as they drank porridge and vegetables. They knew that they were punished because they made mistakes, so they did not dare to cry out.

Liu Jitieshi couldn't bear it with his heart.

He raised his head to look at Qin Yao. He was eating so deliciously. A small pile of bones was quickly piled in front of him. After finishing three large bowls of white porridge, he put down his bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction.

Erlang couldn't hold it back anymore and weakly asked: "Auntie, can I take a bite of the remaining bones?"

Qin Yao stared, "Liu Erlang, don't be too outrageous!"

"No!" Qin Yao swept all the bones into a bowl and handed them to Liu Ji, asking him to take them to the kitchen to light the fire.

Erlang watched helplessly as all the bones entered the stove hole, and then gave up the idea with an "oh" sound.

But the good thing is that Qin Yao and Liu Ji have already eaten all the meat, so they can't see it, so they don't feel so uncomfortable.

The four brothers and sisters finished their dinner one after another and were resurrected with full health. They were chatting and playing their own little games in the main room.

Qin Yao waited for Liu Ji to come back after washing the dishes and tidying up the stove, then said:

"On the way back today, I heard someone said that the county government office will be selling cattle on the 15th. I want to buy some beef tendons. I also have all the New Year's goods and charcoal ready. Let's go to the city together. You should get up early that day."

"Going to the city?" Liu Ji was overjoyed and responded hurriedly: "Okay, okay."

He loves going to town the most!

The four chirping children beside him fell silent.

Dalang asked curiously: "Dad, is the county seat far away?"

Erlang also asked: "Dad, is the county fun?"

Liu Ji replied: "Of course it's far. It takes more than two hours to walk from our village to the county seat. We have to leave before dawn."

"But there are so many interesting things in the county, including restaurants, gambling houses, and Rouge Houses."

Erlang asked excitedly: "Dad, what is Rouge House? Does it sell rouge? Have you been there?"

When Liu Ji heard his son's words, he couldn't help laughing, "Silly boy, Rouge House definitely doesn't sell rouge, they all sell meat."

The words stopped suddenly, and Liu Ji suddenly realized that he was about to say something inappropriate for children. He coughed twice and stopped talking:

"It's nothing, there's nothing interesting in the county."

But it obviously sounds fun. Dalang thought doubtfully.

Erlang didn't wait for the answer, so he asked again: "Dad, have you ever been to Rouge House to buy meat?"

Liu Ji glanced at Qin Yao hurriedly, waved his hand to signal his son to shut up and stop asking, turned around and said he was going to the kitchen to boil water.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yao also asked with great interest: "Have you been there or not?"

"Then he must have never been there." Liu Ji lowered his head and shook his empty sleeves. He would be kicked out by his mother even if he sat at the door.

The four Dalang brothers and sisters are still full of beautiful fantasies about this Rouge Building. They think that when they grow up and can go to the city, they must go and visit it.

Although he was very eager to go to the county town together, he knew that his short legs would definitely hinder him, so he didn't say anything to the sensible people. He just chased after Liu Ji and asked him what was in the city.

Qin Yao seriously considered whether the whole family should go to the city together?

Kaiyang County is actually not very big, with a permanent population of only two to three thousand people. But considering the current total population of Shengguo, which is 60 million, it is already a very big place.

Before the prosperity of the country, troubled times lasted for decades. Years of wars led to a sharp decline in the population. Now it has just begun to recuperate. When walking on the road, you will rarely encounter people.

The day Qin Yao arrived in Kaiyang County, she saw the most people in the city since she came here.

There are many people in the village who have never left the village in their lives. For most of them, the farthest place is Fucheng.

This was the only reason they migrated such a long way to survive during the war.

Thinking about it this way, for four children who have never left a small mountain village, going to the city may have a different meaning.

If you can't walk, you can take a bullock cart.

It’s also good to let the kids see the world.

Thinking this way, after the father and son came back from the shower room, Qin Yao said:

"Liu Ji, go and borrow the ox cart from the village chief. On the 15th, our whole family will go to the city together and take Dalang and the others to visit the city."

When the four brothers and sisters heard this, they were shocked with great joy and were stunned on the spot.

Liu Ji also paused for two seconds before reacting. He was a little surprised that Qin Yao would make such a decision.

It was rare for a careless person to restrain himself. He looked at her deeply before agreeing.

The children were so happy that they didn't want to sleep all night. They crowded on the same bed and whispered about their various imaginations about the county.

In the end, the four siblings decided that when they arrived in the county, they would use the copper coins they dug out from their father's hands to buy a bunch of candied haws and eat them together.

Let’s see if the candied haws on ice is as delicious as Liu Jinbao said.

Siniang made a special statement, "I want to leave one for my mother-in-law, who took us to the city."

The implication is that one must not forget to thank the ‘benefactor’.

The three elder brothers fully agreed, and the four brothers and sisters reached a consensus. They waited until early in the morning, when the excitement passed, and then fell asleep.
