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

After finishing the sumptuous dinner, everyone rubbed their bellies and slumped down on the stools with satisfied expressions on their faces.

The child seems to have endless energy. He has just eaten and is not afraid of the cold. He is running around in the yard.

Da Mao, the youngest brother, became the object of competition among his brothers and sisters. One moment, Da Lang ran around with Da Mao on his back, and the next moment, Jinbao Jinhua snatched him away and asked him to ride in a sedan chair.

Compared to their elder brothers and sisters, Sanlang and Siniang were much quieter. The twins could always get together as a pair and chat lively using their self-developed encrypted language.

In the room, the adults were chatting. Liu Bai and Liu Zhong tentatively asked Qin Yao who he planned to replace as the general manager. Qin Yao did not say that she had found Yun Niang, only that she was still considering it.

But she also made it clear that the three brothers were not among her choices.

After hearing this, everyone in the old house was a little disappointed, but they didn't say much. Anyway, they believed that Qin Yao would not forget them.

Since she has someone else to choose, then they can just support the person she chooses.

Moreover, the three brothers also knew that they could not read a few words and were not proficient in carpentry. Qin Yao did not choose them, so the three brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

Only Liu Ji had many opinions and whispered: "They say that wealth should not go to outsiders. If such an important position as general manager is not reserved for his own family, how can others trust him?"

Qin Yao glanced coldly, and then he closed his mouth.

The food was almost digested. Seeing that everyone in the old house was already a little sleepy and ready to leave, Qin Yao got up and came to her room and took out all the gifts she had prepared earlier.

He's eyes lit up instantly. She was resting after her hand was injured. She immediately got up and came to greet Qin Yao, helped her get things, and took a peek at what was there.

Mrs. Qiu could only sigh helplessly at her sister-in-law's behavior and called in the children who were playing in the yard.

"Warm your hands and feet, and we'll go back soon." Mrs. Qiu caught Jinhua who was about to lean towards Qin Yao, pressed her down on the stool, and stretched out her hand to explore. Oh my god, those little hands were as cold as ice. , it was so cold that Qiu even shivered.

He handed it over with a warning look, "Stay warm by the fire."

Jin Hua snorted, tilted her head and made a face at Da Mao. The little guy giggled and threw herself behind her sister, hugging her and looking at the big table full of things.

He's sharp eyes had already seen the exquisite silk flowers in the box, and he couldn't wait to see them.

Seeing her like this, Qin Yao was of course the first to hand her the gift.

Mr. He immediately beamed, "Then I'm not welcome~"

When he opened the box, he saw that it was the two silk flowers that had stuck in his mind since he had just caught a glimpse of them.

This silk flower is a pair of one large and one small, with similar colors, one is bright red, and the other is a lighter orange-red.

Mr. He liked bright things like this. He took them out and looked at them again and again, and couldn't put them down.

"Brother and sister, you are really thoughtful!" He said looking at Qin Yao excitedly.

Qin Yao nodded slightly, and then handed over the gifts for everyone in the old house to the children in order of eldest and youngest, and asked them to deliver them to their grandparents, aunts and uncles.

Zhang's and Qiu's flowers are also made of silk, Zhang's is purple and Qiu's is blue, both of which match them very well.

I prepared a pair of leather boots for Old Man Liu. The size is just right. The old man likes to wear looser boots because he works in the fields all year round and his feet are deformed. They are wide and will not squeeze.

There are three brothers, Liu Bai, Liu Zhong and Liu Fei, each with a set of pen and ink.

Qin Yao smiled and said: "You still need to learn how to write. If the factory gets bigger and bigger in the future, I will have to ask you to help take care of it. It won't work if you don't know how to read accounts and read."

Big pie Qin Yao opened his mouth and said, "This can be regarded as the foundation built by our old Liu family together. Without any of you, we can't write a word Liu!"

Old man Liu was so happy and moved that his eyes already filled with tears. He looked at Qin Yao and secretly thanked his ancestors for protecting him and sending such a good woman to their Liu family.

Turning around, he saw Liu Ji digging at the fire ashes with a nonchalant look on his face. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand and gave him a slap in the face, "Yao Niang is talking, please listen. What do you mean?"

Liu Ji glared angrily, I am provoking someone!

"How dare you glare at me?" Old Man Liu raised his hand and wanted to give him a slap in the face.

Liu Ji's heart skipped a beat, he stood up immediately and ran away, "I'm going to read a book!"

If you can't offend him, you can't afford to hide!

Only then did Old Man Liu retract his slap and yelled: "That's pretty much it. Look good, watch more!"

Liu Ji rolled his eyes and closed the door with a bang.

Qin Yao shrugged and continued to give gifts to Jinbao, Jinhua and Da Mao.

A tiger head hat for Jinbao.

A rabbit fur scarf for Jinhua.

There is also a pair of stuffed sheep, which serve as toys for Da Mao.

The hall was lively and lively, with constant laughter and joy.

It wasn't until late at night, when everyone in the old house left, that the courtyard became quiet.

The four Dalang brothers and sisters yawned again and again, quickly washed their faces and feet, and went back to the house to sleep.

Qin Yao got up late today and was not sleepy yet. She washed up, took the brazier back to her room, spread out her homemade notebook, and wrote down the process of the year-end summary meeting.

When I felt sleepy, I put down my pen, covered the burning charcoal basin, and went to bed.

The following days were spent preparing for the shutdown before the year.

The accounts in various places had to be settled clearly. Qin Yao and Qian Wang drove the carriage and followed Liu Zhong to several raw material suppliers around the county to settle all the balances.

On the way, I went to the county bank and exchanged the money so that I could pay wages to the workers later.

It has been so busy that on the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, all the chores have been sorted out. I will wait for the people from Baishan to come and take away the last batch of stationery gift boxes of this year tomorrow morning, and then I can rest.

Qin Yao set the time for the year-end summary meeting on the afternoon of the 24th. At that time, all the workers would gather in the empty square where the materials were piled.

This matter is new to the villagers.

Many villagers outside the factory came to see the excitement after hearing the news.

Qin Yao did not stop the villagers' curiosity and simply opened the door to let them in.

However, the locks in each production workshop must be tightened to avoid unnecessary trouble.

There were so many people and someone needed to maintain order. Qin Yao gave this task to Liu Bai and Liu Fei's team.

Then it’s time to set up the venue.

On the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, in the morning, he helped Bai Shanjia’s fleet load the goods. At noon, after everyone had the last lunch of the year in the cafeteria, Qin Yao personally led the team and directed the twenty workers selected by each group of managers to start Decorate the venue.

Everyone must have a seat. If there are not enough stools, straw handles will be used instead.

One by one, the villagers formed handfuls of straw. Before they could be folded into straw piles, all the straws were borrowed and spread out in the square to form rows of benches.
