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

Chapter 230

Qin Yao thought he had suffered from heat stroke while driving, but it turned out that his self-esteem was bruised.

She waved her hand and motioned for him to stay away from the fire. She sat in front of the stove, looked at the noodles in the pot and said:

"Look at the map. We are almost at Fucheng now. The head of a state must be much bigger and more prosperous than the small Kaiyang County. There are countless powerful, wealthy and wealthy people living there."

"Above the state capital, there are Shuntian Mansion in the north, Yingtian Mansion in the south, and the two capitals of Sheng Kingdom. The top dignitaries are all there. If a boy from a certain village in Kaiyang County is thrown into it, I'm afraid it will be worse than A beggar on the street. After all, he has been there since he was a child and has seen the luxury of countless top rich and powerful people."

When the noodles were cooked, Qin Yao motioned to the elder men to take out their bowls, and filled them with enough noodles one by one according to their eating capacity, sprinkled a handful of salt, and dropped two drops of sauce to add flavor.

"Dad, your bowl." Siniang handed the bowl to Liu Ji. He took it with a forced smile, not daring to bother Qin Yao and served the noodles himself.

After it was served, I didn’t even eat the noodles.

The rest of the pot belonged to Qin Yao. She ate directly from the pot and said while eating: "A person's place of birth is very important, but this thing is not up to us to choose. We were born in a small mountain village and lacked resources. There is nothing we can do." What."

"Being born in Kyoto, even if you are a beggar, you can still occasionally eat delicacies from the mountains and seas that the nobles don't want."

"But people born in small mountain villages can still choose the path they want to take in the future."

"He can inherit the one-third-acre of land from his ancestors and become an honest farmer, or he can work hard, study for the imperial examination, leave the mountain village, the county seat, the provincial capital, and go to Kyoto."

Hearing this, Liu Ji smiled sadly, "But someone like me who was born with nothing wants to compete with them in the same examination room. How can I compete?"

He sighed, "Maybe, this is life."

"Well, you can accept your fate." Qin Yao finished the last mouthful of noodles, put the bowl away, stood up, and counted with her fingers seriously:
"I gave Lin Erbao 38 taels of silver to redeem you. The college tuition plus miscellaneous fees is [-] taels of silver. For more than a year, you have been eating and using me. Everything from head to toe has been spent on my money. I don't care. Ten taels for you, plus the interest over time, it adds up to a total of "

Liu Ji was shocked, "I don't accept my fate! I will never accept my fate!"

Qin Yao gave him a belated look, "There are 55 taels of silver in total, oh, and your bookcase and books. If you add another 60 taels after the discount, it will be [-] taels. Give me the money, and you can Go back, the world is so big, you can be at ease."

Of course, if you can't pay him, then I'm sorry, I can only force him to die.

The four Dalang brothers and sisters who were eating noodles stopped and looked at Liu Ji in shock, who was crying without tears. They couldn't figure out why his father didn't know how to cherish life.

No, he cherished his life and was still struggling to crawl back from the border.

Not many children in Liu Jigang had thought things through, and they were confused.

But now that he was stimulated by Qin Yao, he finally realized that he had never accepted his fate since he was born!
"Madam, don't be angry. I've thought about it. Come on, come on. You sit down and rest for a while. I'll go to the river to wash the dishes and we'll set off right away."

Liu Jisan ate all the noodles in the bowl in two mouthfuls, picked up Qin Yao's bowl and chopsticks, and went to the river with the Dalang brothers and sisters.

"Dad!" Si Niang chased after her angrily, "I still haven't finished one bite!"

Sanlang also ran after his sister. He ate slowly and still had a small bowl left. "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Si Niang, wait for me."

Qin Yao stood under the shady straw shed and watched the father and son go to the river. She raised her eyebrows and thought it was funny that Liu Ji was jumping sideways repeatedly.

As everyone knows, Liu Li, who was watching the whole process, secretly said that he learned it!

They cannot choose their birth, but they can choose the path they want to take.

"Alas~" Liu Li sighed sadly. With Mrs. Qin's knowledge and martial arts skills, if she were a man, she would be able to accomplish a great career.

Qin Yao had already noticed the scorching gaze behind her. She looked back and smiled at Liu Li, who was full of regret, "Get ready to go."

"Okay!" Liu Li agreed loudly, waking up the sleeping Da Zhuang beside him, "Are you leaving?" Liu Li smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"Eh? Second Young Master, are you happy again?" Da Zhuang asked curiously, he was sighing just now.

Liu Li nodded. Not only was he feeling better, he was also confident.

Get in the car, open the book box, and continue reading.

Da Zhuang scratched his head, what about the one who promised never to read a book along the way?

When Liu Ji and his son returned, they tidied up for a while and then the two families continued their journey.

The next journey was a little less thrilling than the first day, and a little more exciting about reaching the destination.

More and more candidates were encountered along the way. Liu Ji discovered that the candidates who were escorted by BMWs were only one in ten, and most of the rest were actually ordinary people similar to them.

It's just that before, he only looked at the glamorous ones and ignored the majority of ordinary people.

As the number of candidates increases, so do the number of people on the road.

However, near Fucheng, the number decreased significantly.

Food prices have also gone from becoming more and more outrageous to gradually stabilizing at high levels. Food prices near Fucheng are basically the same, and the environment is relatively stable.

When they saw the Fucheng gate with the tower, the children all exclaimed "Wow".

Dalang exclaimed, "It turns out that the city wall is really three feet high!"

Siniang and Sanlang also said excitedly: "This place is much, much bigger than the county seat."

Erlang lay on the car window and looked at the people going in and out. They were all wearing bright clothes, which was completely different from the dusty and white crowd outside Kaiyang County.

On the other hand, they looked even more poor, dressed in white linen clothes.

The roads in Fucheng are neat and wide, allowing two cars to pass parallelly, and there is still room for people to set up stalls on both sides.

Most of the houses are made of bricks and tiles. Since entering the city, I have seen eight or nine two-story buildings in a row, which is not surprising at all.

The accent of the people here is also different from that in Kaiyang County. Liu Ji got out of the car and asked for directions. It took him a long time to get the location of the Academic Affairs Department.

He and Liu Li had to go to the Academic Affairs Office to report and submit materials to go through the formalities.

Foreigners who are not familiar with the local area usually find an agent.

The agent industry has formed a stable industrial chain. Someone can handle the tedious procedures on their behalf, saving worry and effort, and students can concentrate on preparing for the scientific examination.

But there is also the possibility of being scammed, so you need to identify it yourself.

It’s okay not to find an agent. If you do it yourself, it will take more time.

After arriving in the city and finding a cost-effective inn with room available, Qin Yao and the children stayed behind to pack their luggage. Liu Ji and Liu Li immediately went out to inquire with the required materials.

Both of them were unfamiliar with communicating with the locals, let alone dealing with the court officials.

So prepare to find a local agent for help together to save yourself from running around like a headless fly.
