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

Riding a horse is fast. It only took two hours from the county seat to Liujia Village.

Qin Yao was still trotting back slowly. If he started running at full speed, he could arrive in one and a half hours.

When I entered the village, it was around four o'clock in the afternoon.

We haven't seen each other for only two or three days, and the rice in the paddy field has already started to turn yellow. It seems that it will reach maturity in about a week.

Everyone was blue before, and the ten acres of rice in Qin Yao's house was not conspicuous. Now, at a glance, the same fertile field by the river, the ears of rice in her field are heavily pressed down, and the sacks are particularly eye-catching.

When old man Liu passed by the river, he regretted it countless times. If he had followed Qin Yao to plant the last [-] mu of land near the river by transplanting rice seedlings, the harvest this year would have been gratifying.

It's a pity that we can't turn back time. It's useless to regret now. I can only console myself that there is still a chance to plant the best piece of land like this next year.

Qin Yao rode slowly through the village to the river bank. The villagers along the way were wide-eyed. They didn't know where she went to get rich, and she actually rode back.

No one in the village rides a horse yet, only Liu Dafu's family has one, but it is also a short-footed horse used to pull goods, which is completely different from Qin Yao, who is obviously ridden by others.

Her horse's back was almost as tall as a grown man's. Riding on it was very imposing, and the big guy had to look up at her.

"Auntie!"

The girl's excited call came.

Qin Yao rode across the bridge and came to the water mill. Da Lang and Siniang, who were guarding the cash box in the water mill, ran up to meet her.

"Horse?" Dalang whispered in surprise, stretched out one hand and lifted him onto the horse.

Si Niang looked at it curiously, and tentatively compared the heights of herself and the horse with her hands, but she didn't even reach the horse's belly.

"Reach out." Qin Yao reminded with a smile.

Si Niang was not afraid at all, she stretched out her two little hands, and A Niang immediately carried her to the horse and placed it in front of her brother.

"Aniang, is this our horse?" Siniang turned her head and asked in surprise.

Da Lang was already stunned, he just looked at the ball of colorful thread hanging from the horse's neck, his little hands tightly grasped the arch of the saddle, and by the way he held his excited younger sister in his arms.

Qin Yao grunted, shouted "Drive!", and immediately started running towards the house on the hillside.

Erlang and Sanlang heard the noise and ran out the door. When they saw the mother and son running towards them on horseback, they opened their mouths in surprise.

The old horse wanted to have fun when it started running, but Qin Yao reined in and stopped forcibly.

The high horseshoes were raised and lowered just above their heads, Erlang and Saburo stayed where they were, unable to react for a while.

Qin Yao dismounted from the horse, carried the two children off the horse, and directed the four cubs to stand in front of them in a row, grandly introducing the new members of the family.

"From now on, the old horse is a member of our family. You should treat him better, and you will rely on him when you go to school."

Da Lang asked, "Is Lao Ma its name?"

Qin Yao shook her head, "That's not true."

Erlang immediately said: "Then let's give it a name. How about calling it Lao Huang?"

Qin Yao shrugged, casually.

So, the four brothers and sisters reached an agreement, and decided to call the horse Lao Huang from now on, without asking if the horse was willing.

Sanlang looked at Lao Huang with his big eyes and said proactively: "Mom, can I take Lao Huang to eat grass every morning when I catch insects for the chickens?"

"Not for the time being." Qin Yao said seriously: "The horse is not familiar with us now. Don't get close to it casually, you will get kicked."

The four children lowered their heads: "Okay."

But the enthusiasm for Lao Huang is still undiminished, and he has begun to think about building a nest for Lao Huang so that he can have a place to sleep.

There was no stable at home, and Qin Yao had no plans to raise pigs, nor did he build a pig pen, so he could only temporarily move Old Huang to the wasteland behind the yard and tie him near the hut, so that he could eat some grass on his own to replenish himself. physical strength.

She would make him a stable as soon as possible.Qin Yao patted Lao Huang on the head, "Be good."

Taking off the things on the horse's back, Qin Yao entered the house with both hands full.

The four children followed her happily, happier than during the Chinese New Year.

Except for Da Lang, who was still concerned about whether his biological father had successfully entered the academy, the other three were all focused on the oil paper bag in her hand.

A thin piece of oil paper can't cover up the aroma of the food at all, Si Niang almost gnawed on the oil paper bag with her mouth open.

"You're so greedy, haven't you had enough to eat these days?" Qin Yao asked jokingly.

Knowing that Qin Yao was joking with them, Da Lang shook his head in embarrassment and laughed at her.

Qin Yao put the things in the main room first, "Don't move yet, wait for me to come back."

The four brothers and sisters nodded obediently: "Yeah!"

She went back to the house first and put down the weapon, then changed into a clean light linen dress, and threw the blood-soaked dirty clothes into the stone trough.

The elder man was very discerning and scooped half a basin of water for his stepmother and asked her to wash her face.

There are two large water tanks at home, and Qin Yao had already filled them up before leaving home. Only the four children use them daily, and there is still leftover.

After washing his hands and face, he wiped the hot sweat on his chest and back of his neck, and the not-so-strong smell of blood was gone at all.

Qin Yao took a deep breath of the fresh air in the countryside. After not sleeping all day and night, she suddenly relaxed and felt a little tired.

He patted his face and cheered himself up. Under the expectant eyes of the four children, he walked into the main room and sat down, and opened one of the oil-paper bags.

Inside was a whole roasted chicken, five braised pig trotters, and a bowl of sweet and sour pork ribs. They were all dishes that had just been stir-fried an hour and a half ago. They were still warm, and the aroma filled their nostrils, making Saburo's mouth water.

Qin Yao smiled and waved to Dalang Erlang, "Go and get the bowl."

The two brothers immediately ran out and ran back with the bowl in hand.

Qin Yao put the three dishes separately into three large porcelain bowls, which looked more attractive with the background of the porcelain.

Looking at the four brothers and sisters who couldn't wait but held it back in a funny way, they nodded and said, "Eat."

The four of them didn't swarm over like hungry wolves. The elder man asked his younger brothers and sisters to sit down, and each person put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs in their bowl. Then the two of them began to happily enjoy the food.

"Aniang, it's sweet!" Si Niang said in surprise.

Qin Yao also picked up a piece of spareribs and ate them in a bowl, explaining: "This is called sweet and sour spareribs. It's sour and sweet. It's particularly appetizing, right?"

"Yeah!" Siniang said happily, "My little brother and I both like to eat it!"

"Eat more if you like it." Qin Yao pinched the twin's tender face, looking at the four satisfied faces in front of her, it was really healing.

One person ate two quick ribs to satisfy his craving, and stopped in a tacit understanding.

Dalang found Qin Yao and used a straw dish cover to cover the dishes, and said happily: "I'll cook."

Erlang Sanlang Siniang also said that they went to pick vegetables and actively prepared for tonight's sumptuous dinner.

Qin Yao lay on the chair, her eyes gradually narrowed.

Knowing that she was very tired, the four children in the family relaxed their movements.
