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

Liu Ji heard the noise and hurriedly walked out of the room wearing a thick coat. When he saw the dark hill, he was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

Qin Yao had stayed up all night and was in high spirits and not sleepy at all. She raised her chin at Liu Ji and said,

"Come here and tidy up. I'll go change clothes. You hitch up the carriage and get the hare and deer into the carriage. Come with me to the Ding family's old house later."

Ding Xiang said that her grandmother only liked scholars and disliked talking to peasant women in the village.

A handsome, young, and "motivated" scholar like Liu Ji is good at speaking.

Liu Ji yawned and responded. Seeing Qin Yao enter the bedroom, he asked diligently: "Would you like some hot water to scrub it?"

"Wash." The words were concise and to the point.

Liu Ji: "Okay!"

He went into the main room to burn the charcoal he buried last night, put the kettle away, and then came to clean up the prey in the yard.

The wild goat seemed to have woken up. Liu Ji thought that he could eat fresh meat during the New Year, so he picked it up, tied it to the stable, stuffed it with a handful of grass, and counted every day it could live longer.

Lao Huang didn't like this new roommate and stuck his hooves angrily. Liu Ji quickly led him out and pulled out the carriage in the backyard and put it on.

In order to avoid dirtying the carriage, I first laid a layer of straw inside, and then put the prey to be taken to Ding's house.

After finishing these things, the sound of cleaning was heard from the shower room. Liu Ji seized the time and made a breakfast quickly.

I didn't have time to make the dough before putting the pancakes on, so I put all the leftover vegetables from yesterday together with the rice, covered the pot and simmered it.

Qin Yao walked out of the shower room after washing up and passed by the kitchen, feeling dizzy with the fragrance!

It had been a long time since I had eaten anything good. The stewed rice this morning made Qin Yao fall in love with Liu Ji again.

Liu Ji: So careless?

But secretly I breathed a sigh of relief. Living cautiously and living upright are two completely different concepts.

After breakfast and clearing away the dishes, Liu Ji finally dared to straighten his back.

Qin Yao informed the four brothers and sisters of Dalang that she and Liu Ji were going out. Erlang rolled his eyes and asked tentatively:

"Going to town?"

Sanlang licked the corner of his mouth. Every time A Niang went to town or entered the county, there would be a lot of delicious food when she came back.

Qin Yao nodded and did not say that she was going to Ding's house. She was afraid that if the agreement did not work out, the children's expectations would be disappointed. She just said that she was going to visit friends.

Dalang and Erlang suddenly guessed something, and their eyes lit up.

Si Niang grabbed A Niang's clothes and said coquettishly: "Si Niang wants to go too."

As soon as she shouted, Sanlang, a follower, also joined her. Qin Yao nodded their foreheads in a funny way and refused very decisively, "No."

After that, regardless of the two people pouting in disappointment, they pushed the people into the main room and closed the door.

Si Niang could only murmur: "Okay~"

Sanlang also said: "Okay."

The door was closed, Qin Yao got on the carriage, got into the carriage and sat down. Liu Ji jumped on the shaft, flicked the reins, and Old Huang started to move, pulling the two of them off.

The road surface was penetrated by melted snow, and the heavy carriage rolled over, leaving a deep rut mark.

Fortunately, the thing he was pulling was not heavy and Lao Huang was a little slower, so the journey was smooth.

When the couple arrived in Jinshi Town, it was when the Ding family was having breakfast and resting. When Qin Yao passed by Master Ding's house, she knocked on the door and met Miss Ding.

Of the four bars of soap she sent last time, Ding Xiang kept two for himself and gave the remaining two to his grandmother. By the way, he mentioned that Qin Yao's children were preparing to go to school.

Old Mrs. Ding looked at her granddaughter very strangely for a while, maybe because she didn't expect that she would intercede for a village woman who was not related to her.

The whole Dingjiazhuang had long known about Ding Xiang's learning of riding and shooting. The old lady was very unhappy about this. When Ding Xiang said that this village woman was none other than Mrs. Qin, she became very angry.

If Ding Xiang hadn't revealed in time that there were scholars in Mrs. Qin's family, the old lady wouldn't have said she would think about it again.

When Ding Xiang saw his grandmother's attitude, he didn't dare to mention all the rhetoric he had prepared, such as Qin Yao being a heroine who suppressed bandits.

Anyway, if she gets the chance to meet, her mission will be completed.

Just two bars of soap, she is already very interesting!

But just saying that, when Qin Yao came to the door, she almost laughed to her ears.

"Did you really go into the mountains to hunt deer skin for my grandmother?" Ding Xiang was happy that Qin Yao came to find him, but he was also surprised that she was so fast.

She only asked someone to go to Shopkeeper Wu's house to inform Qin Yao two days ago that her grandmother was missing knee pads. She didn't expect that she would have all the ingredients today.

Ding Shi was not at home. He and his housekeeper had gone into the city early in the morning, bringing New Year's gifts to each family.

Ding Xiang had long since fattened up his courage and ran to the door to see the deer Qin Yao had shot.

Seeing Liu Ji sitting on the carriage shaft, Xiao Xiao was startled and looked at Qin Yao, as if asking: Is your husband alive?

Qin Yao nodded lightly, showing a helpless expression.

The age difference between the two is only six years, and Ding Xiang refuses to call Qin Yao master, nor does he want to call her Qin Madam according to Liu Ji's seniority.

She classified Qin Yao as the elder sister among sisters, and she had a clear understanding of Liu Ji's situation in the academy.

Ding Shi said that Fan Xiucai was not a good person, and Ding Xiang was secretly angry with Qin Yao and Liu Ji for a long time.

At this moment, Liu Jicheng smiled at him and clasped his fists, reluctantly twitching his lips in response, and then asked Qin Yao to lift the car curtain to let her see the mountain deer.

She occasionally sneaks into the mountains, but she can only wander around the outside. She has to retreat when people come to her, not daring to be discovered.

Therefore, we can only hunt some small animals. We have never seen big ones like mountain deer, so we naturally yearn for them.

When Ding Xiang saw the mountain deer with black blood holes in its eyes, he glanced at Qin Yao in surprise and fell to the ground in admiration.

Because an arrow pierced both eyes, the fur on his body was not damaged at all, and it was not even stained with blood. It was extremely well preserved.

"It would be great if you could take me into the mountains together some time." Ding Xiang sighed longingly after putting down the car curtain.

Qin Yao looked at her increasingly shining eyes, which were full of yearning for freedom, so strong that she seemed to break free from her body and fly to the vast mountains to explore and adventure.

Unfortunately, there is a rope called "Li" outside the body that binds her and pulls her soul back.

But the seeds of rebellion have already been planted. Ding Xiang raised his eyebrows arrogantly at Qin Yao,

"If grandma doesn't agree to let your eldest son, Erlang, go to school, I will write to father and promise to let them go to school!"

As for the time wasted in writing letters back and forth, you can ignore it for now. She lied first and said that her father agreed, and then she would behead him first and then beat him.

When Qin Yao heard these words, her heart warmed, but she said in a serious tone: "You have helped me enough, I can do the rest myself. If the old lady finds out, your good days will come to an end."

Her mother passed away before the new mistress came in. According to etiquette, she should have been educated by the female elders of the clan, her grandmother or her aunt.

Now Ding Xiang can stay alone in her own home because her father and brother love her and favor her.

But now that Mr. Ding is in the capital, if Ding Xiang is caught making a big mistake, Qin Yao feels that Ding Shi, his brother, will not be able to stop the old lady.

After all, he was just a grandson in front of the old lady, so he had to respect her filial piety and obey her unconditionally.

As soon as Qin Yao explained her interests to Ding Xiang, the girl immediately sighed, "Then I wish you good luck."

Qin Yao smiled confidently and took out a bamboo dragonfly like a magic trick and handed it to Ding Xiang. "It's cold outside. Come in quickly. Let's go."

Sure enough, he was still a child. When he got the toy, his happiness showed on his face. Ding Xiang nodded heavily: "Yeah!"
