After transmigrating into a stepmother, I transformed my whole family to work on farming

Chapter 102
Liu Ji knew that Qin Yao was going to take money home today, so he went to the village and squatted early in the morning, waiting for people who were going to town, and asked someone to buy meat back.

There were spareribs and pork belly that was both fat and thin. I cooked several delicious meat dishes in the evening, so greedy that the elders and others kept wandering at the door of the kitchen and had no intention of practicing calligraphy.

As soon as Qin Yao entered the house, she smelled the alluring aroma of meat, and she was in a good mood.

Liu Ji turned around in the kitchen and looked over, "Lady, you are back!"

"The last dish will be ready right away, and we'll have dinner after you wash up."

Qin Yao curiously probed into the main room, "It's a big deal today, so many dishes."

On the dining table, there is a pot of stewed pork ribs with red dates and yams, a plate of stir-fried pork belly with green peppers, a plate of refreshing pickled radishes, and a soup of cabbage and tofu that is being made in the kitchen.

The food was not so good even on the New Year's Day. Qin Yao clicked her tongue twice, "It seems that the business of Water Mill has been much better recently."

The Erlang knew this and immediately raised his hand and said, "Mom, for the past half month, I have been able to get ten copper coins every day. Sometimes I can also pick up eggs, vegetables, a bowl of ground noodles and so on."

Dalang also said: "Everyone no longer likes to go to the stone mill in the village. They all come to our water mill. They also say that our water mill is very useful."

Calculated in this way, a monthly income of [-] Wen could indeed allow Liu Ji to cook so many more meat dishes. After all, Qin Yao did not take this money, and let him use it all as living expenses.

But the food at home can get better and better, and there is no need to collect the extra money.

Liu Ji had already filled out the cabbage and tofu soup. Seeing that Qin Yao didn't ask for private money, his smile became more sincere, "My lady, dinner is ready."

Qin Yao urged the four brothers and sisters to wash their hands, and went to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks together. Everyone filled a bowl full of white rice and sat around the dining table, waiting for her to move the chopsticks first, and they started in an instant.

It was all meat, and it tasted very good. The whole family ate deliciously, and no one was willing to talk.

It wasn't until I was seven or eight full that my pace slowed down.

At this time, the dishes on the table have basically bottomed out.

Liu Ji was quick, grabbed the last bit of cabbage tofu soup, poured it directly into the bowl, added two pieces of pickled radish, mixed it, it was sour, crunchy and delicious, a little spicy, and very fragrant.

She was satisfied with her meal and in a particularly good mood. Qin Yao always had a faint smile on her lips.

Liu Ji finished the last mouthful of rice soup in the bowl, put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and asked curiously:

"Lady, are you finished with the water mill in Xiahe Village?"

Qin Yao nodded, knowing what he wanted to ask, and told him directly, "You have paid your tuition for the year. When you finish copying the books at the end of the month, you will go to the county academy to resume your studies at the beginning of July."

Liu Ji converted the tuition fee into a specific figure in her heart, which was about five taels of silver, and she earned it in less than half a month!
Although the money is not in his hands, it should be spent on him, right? Immediately, he couldn't help laughing, "Lady, we are so lucky to have you in this family."

Qin Yao snorted and asked him to stop flattering him, "How many books have you copied?"

"It's almost, it's almost, there are only two more words left, and I can finish them by the end of the month." Liu Ji replied confidently.

Thinking of his upcoming life in the academy, he couldn't help but jump for joy.

You don't have to go to the field anymore, and you can still stay in the county seat. Wouldn't it be nice to gather those old friends from the past to eat, drink and have fun!
Qin Yao's eyes dimmed when she saw his expectant expression.

The rain in June comes at all times, and suddenly it rains heavily at night. The wind in the mountains is cool, and all the summer heat is extinguished by the rain. The sound of "sneeze" coming from the cold can be heard in the children's room.

Qin Yao hurriedly got up and went to the next door. She pushed open the room and took out the thin quilts from the wooden box for them. She told the four of them to cover their stomachs and not sleep with their clothes open.

Medical care is underdeveloped, and the barefoot doctor in the village can give you some medicine for minor ailments, but if it becomes serious, you can only resign yourself to fate.

Sanlang and Siniang slept soundly, wearing only a small bellyband, and the movement in the room could not wake them up, but they knew it was cold, so they covered themselves with a thin quilt, rolled them in immediately, wrapped themselves in the quilt, and only exposed Half a bulging little face.

Qin Yao squeezed her hands itchy, and the two cubs grunted, smashed, smashed their little mouths, and fell asleep again.

"Boom!" A burst of thunder rolled over the roof, and the rain became heavier.

Qin Yao looked down and saw that the two villains didn't even move.

She was really envious of this quality of sleep.

Waving to Dalang and Erlang who were sleeping on the upper bunk, Qin Yao closed the doors and windows and returned to her room, and fell asleep after a while.

She was always worried about whether there would be leaks after such a heavy rain. From time to time, she would open her eyes and look at the roof on the beams to make sure that the tiles were covered tightly, and then she fell asleep to the sound of dripping rain.

When I woke up in the morning, the rain had lightened a lot, but it was still falling.

The weather made it impossible to do morning exercises, so it was rare for Dalang and Erlang to sleep late.

Qin Yao listened to the sighs of the farmers coming from the fields down the mountain, said something to Liu Ji who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, put on a raincoat, a bamboo hat, and went to the fields with a hoe.

The mud on the road was washed away by last night's heavy rain, forming a small gully. Fortunately, Qin Yao was wearing straw sandals, otherwise the uppers would have been soaked.

The water level of the river rose by almost [-] centimeters, and several mu of land near the river was washed away by the river water, and the river water poured into the rice fields, destroying a small part of the rice.

Qin Yao couldn't help sighing with the farmers, then rolled up her trouser legs, moved stones and mud to reinforce the ridge, and straightened the fallen rice.

Several plants were crushed to death, and when I saw the ravaged rice flowers, I thought they were all going to produce food, and I felt distressed.

It is not good to have too much water in the fields. As soon as the rain started to lighten, almost all the villagers went to the fields to dredge ditches, dig a hole in the ridge, and release water.

The rice fields are located near the river and are still low-lying. When they saw the turbid field water pouring into their fields, they were so angry that they cursed.

But the big guys have no other choice, those in the low-lying areas can only consider themselves unlucky and build up the ridges near the canals.

Qin Yao followed suit and raised the edge of his farm near the canal. The field fish raised by someone unknown washed down the canal.

With quick eyes and quick hands, she grabbed a fat big field fish.

Now, the coke in the low-lying land was gone, and the one in the high ground shouted anxiously: "My fish, my fish!"

"I don't care whose family you belong to. If it falls into my field, it belongs to my family!" Everyone laughed loudly.

Qin Yao laughed, and seeing another fish was washed down, she quickly slapped the fish in her hand and put it on the field ridge, freeing her hand to catch the fish that came.

The children in the village heard the commotion and swarmed in. Now they couldn't tell which one belonged to someone else's house and which one belonged to their own. Anyway, with the basket on their shoulders, a group of girls and boys blocked the middle of the canal, caught the fish and went to it. Put it in your pocket.

Dalang and Erlang achieved outstanding results, and both small bamboo baskets were filled.

Sanlang and Siniang didn't dare to go down such a deep ditch, so they stood on the edge of the field to cheer for their brother. The rice field was full of excited cheers from the children.
