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

It was still very cold in the mountains in early spring, so Qin Yao hitched the carriage.

The sky was just white with fish belly, so he took his four children and Liu Jinbao and set off.

I didn't have time to make breakfast, so I ate rice dumplings made last night. The dumplings were mixed with lard residue, which was very fragrant and even chewier when cold.

There is no lunch school, so you have to bring your own food, and the ones you bring are rice balls.

At least that's the case for now, because this is the only light meal Qin Yao can make now.

After that, she learns how to make pancakes and so on, and she should be able to change her tricks.

In this regard, the four brothers and sisters of Dalang did not have any hope. Dalang also said that they would prepare breakfast and lunch by themselves.

Qin Yao had no objection. He would still give him pocket money anyway. If he didn't have enough to eat one day, he could also go to town for an extra meal.

The carriage reached a fork in the road from another village, and along the way it took two children from other villages with them. Each of them was charged a penny to earn some money for traveling expenses.

After walking for half an hour, we arrived at Xiahe Village.

The driver was already waiting at the intersection of Shangguan Road. He was a little surprised to see seven children getting off Qin Yao's car.

"Brother Coachman, I'm afraid your carriage is going to be widened. In the future, so many children will have to ride in your carriage when they go to school in the town." Qin Yao teased.

By the way, he called the four Dalang brothers and sisters aside, pointed at them, and said seriously: "Remember, if you dare to hit other children, I will deal with you when you come back!"

"Also, if you are bullied by other children, kneel on the washboard directly before you come back!"

The four men were stunned for a moment. They were shocked by these instructions. It turns out that you are such a stepmother.

However, the four siblings still made a serious promise not to bully others, nor to be bullied into kneeling on the washboard.

Qin Yao felt relieved and patted a few people on the back, "Go!"

"Goodbye, grandma." Siniang waved excitedly and climbed into the driver's bullock cart expectantly.

Qin Yao watched them go away before driving back.

When she got home and walked into the quiet yard, Qin Yao was not used to it, so she simply closed the door and went to work in the water mill.

On the first day of school when the children leave home, they are inexplicably anxious.

At one moment, they were worried that their husband would put them in the last row and they would not be able to hear his lecture. At another moment, they were worried that they would be laughed at by other children if they ate rice balls brought from home for lunch, which would lead to disputes.

Carpenter Liu noticed Qin Yao's anxious look and was afraid that she would break the stone plate directly, so he asked her to go aside and rest quickly.

At the same time, he made a funny comment: "I didn't expect that you would be so anxious when you are usually such a calm person."

Lunch was brought by Carpenter Liu's wife. Knowing that Qin Yao was there, she pretended to serve two people, but it was just the portion for ordinary people. Qin Yao ate it as if he had not eaten it.

But she wasn't hungry at all today, and she still didn't finish a bowl of rice after eating it many times.

Hearing Carpenter Liu's teasing, Qin Yao sighed: "Oh~, am I suffering from separation anxiety disorder?"

But that's not her biological child. Can stepchildren also cause separation anxiety?
When Carpenter Liu saw Qin Yao not replying to him, he felt bored. After lunch, he took out the wooden board he used for recording and drew the style of the divine book box. Once the design was completed, he would get his piece of huanghuali. .

Qin Yao put down the empty bowl and stood up, went over to take a look, suddenly thought of something, and patted Carpenter Liu on the shoulder.

"Do you think we should prepare more wood?"

Carpenter Liu looked at the deserted factory shed, "Is it useful? There isn't much business here." Qin Yao tapped his wooden board with the clean end of her chopsticks, "I just remembered doing this, go now There are more children in the school, so there may be a market for our product."

Carpenter Liu's heart suddenly moved, "Yes! Why didn't I think of that!"

Qin Yao raised her chin at him, "I'm going to collect the wood in the afternoon, and I'll put away this piece of huanghuali material first."

After hanging out with Qin Yao for so long, Carpenter Liu knew that if he wanted to accomplish something, he had to prepare early and seize the opportunity.

Immediately, he put away the board and took his empty bowl. The two locked the door and headed towards the village, stopping by his house to put down the empty bowl.

After the New Year, every household chopped some wood to dry at home, and cut bark and branches for fire.

The two walked for half an afternoon and received more than a dozen pieces of wood. The prices were [-] to [-]% cheaper than outside. Even if they didn't make a magical book box, it was still cost-effective to just stock up on materials.

Qin Yao carried the purchased materials back, and Carpenter Liu was mainly responsible for bargaining, and the two of them cooperated tacitly.

Seeing that the time for the children to get out of school was coming soon, Qin Yao asked Carpenter Liu to continue to visit a few more stores to check, and after buying them, wait for her to come back to carry them, and then withdraw first.

After returning home, I hurriedly washed my hands, pulled out the bullock cart, and pulled the cart to Xiahe Village to pick up the children from school.

She arrived early and waited for a quarter of an hour before she saw the coachman returning with a cart full of dolls.

Because each child also brought a box or bamboo frame for books, the oxcart was seriously overloaded, so it moved slowly.

Fortunately, the book boxes of the four Dalang brothers and sisters can be stacked flat. Si Niang sat on the book box, with her three brothers protecting her, making others envious.

Before she even got close, Qin Yao heard the twins' excited calls, "Auntie!"

Qin Yao took the bullock cart a few steps forward and picked up the four children and Jinbao in her cart. When moving the book box, she found that one was missing.

Erlang smiled fawningly at her.

Qin Yao frowned, "Where is your book box?"

Liu Erlang, don't be too scolded. How could you lose your schoolbag on the first day of school?
Erlang quickly explained, "I sold it!"

Then he pointed to Dalang's book box and said that his books were packed with his eldest brother and were not lost.

Without waiting for Qin Yao to have an attack, he quickly stuffed the money hidden in his arms into her hand and jumped onto the carriage proudly, "Auntie, I have great news. You will be happy to hear it, but let's talk about it when we go home. .”

Qin Yao weighed the five pieces of silver in her hand in surprise. She suppressed her doubts for the time being and pointed at Erlang's forehead. She will take care of you when you go home.

Erlang didn't panic at all and touched his chest. There was a thick stack of paper buried in his clothes. This was his confidence.

Because she wanted to figure out the situation quickly, Qin Yao drove the oxcart very fast. Jinbao was caught off guard and rolled back and forth on the cart. When he got to the door of his house, he almost vomited.

When Qin Yao saw her nephew's pale face, she realized what she was doing and said a little guiltily: "You kid, why didn't you say anything when you felt uncomfortable?"

Jin Bao's face turned pale and he said aggrievedly: "I wanted to speak, but my mouth was full of sand, so I shut up quickly."

Qin Yao patted him on the shoulder pitifully, "I'm sorry, Third Aunt, hurry up tomorrow. It's getting late, so go home quickly."

Jinbao tried his best to give his third aunt a nonchalant smile, then turned around and entered the house with his bamboo basket in hand.

Qin Yao said sorry again before leading her children home.

The bullock cart had just been packed up. Qin Yao didn't even wash her hands before she came to the main room and sat down. She slapped the five coins on the table and said, "Liu Erlang, please tell me the truth!"
