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

Qin Yao washed her hands and face before entering the room and sitting down.

Seeing a large plate of oily fried pork belly and white rice with crispy rice on the dining table, Qin Yao frowned slightly but didn't say anything.

Picking up the bowl and chopsticks, "Eat."

As soon as Qin Yao called for dinner, the father and son immediately reached for the plate of meat with their chopsticks.

Liu Ji fried all the meat, a total of four pounds of meat, without any accompanying vegetables, and it looked very oily at first glance.

Qin Yao ate a piece without any expectations, her eyes lit up, she actually tasted it!

After more than ten years of surviving in the apocalypse, her daily food was either dry food or instant noodles. Qin Yao was actually not picky about food at all. As long as the food tasted good, she already felt good.

One piece of meat and two big mouthfuls of rice. It didn't feel greasy at all, and the crispy crispy rice was also very fragrant.

Qin Yao ate five bowls in a row before putting down her bowls and chopsticks, wiping the corners of her mouth with satisfaction, and said to Liu Ji:

"The nutrition should be balanced. Next time, add some vegetables."

Liu Ji saw Guan Guan, felt relieved and agreed.

What was cooked was white rice, and the four children only ate more than half of the bowl before they were too full to eat.

Liu Ji ate a little more, a bowl and a half, but he couldn't hold it anymore.

Looking at Qin Yao's appetite, it was four times as much as theirs combined. The five father and son were shocked.

Only then did Dalang and Erlang realize that the stepmother had been restraining her appetite before.

Now that there was food at home, she couldn't bear it anymore and ate openly. After all, she had to do so much physical work during the day and eating a lot would also consume a lot of food.

After the meal, Qin Yao raised her chin to Liu Ji, who had no self-consciousness at all, and asked him to clear the table, and said: "Heat more hot water, I want to soak my feet."

Liu Ji's eyes widened. He still had to wash her feet?

Qin Yao had just finished eating and was in a good mood. She asked doubtfully: "Can't you even boil water?"

Liu Ji dared not say anything in anger, so he stood up, put away the dishes, and reluctantly went to boil water.

Dalang took the initiative to help, worried that his father really couldn't even boil water.

Before leaving, he handed Qin Yao the twenty-five cents money he had in his arms for selling straw sandals before going out.

Erlang asked Qin Yao if he could teach him and Liu Jinbao to catch fish.

The fish in the river are more nimble than the rabbits on the ground. They often can only see the silhouette of the fish, but they can't even catch the scales if they want to catch it.

Today Liu Jinbao saw with his own eyes that Qin Yao caught several fish in the river while carrying stones. The child cried with greed and wanted to catch them.

Unfortunately, he ran away as soon as he got close to the fish. The river was not deep even during the dry season, so he just couldn't catch those fish.

But he was a little afraid of Qin Yao and didn't dare to tell her personally, so he asked Erlang to help test Qin Yao's meaning.

"You want to catch fish?" Qin Yao asked.

Erlang nodded wildly.

Qin Yao promised, "I will teach you tomorrow when I have free time."

"But let's make an agreement first. I can teach you how to catch fish, but you are not allowed to go down to the river to catch fish by yourself. You must be accompanied by an adult, otherwise I won't teach you."

Now is the dry season, there is no danger of the water volume plummeting, and there are always people by the river.

But if it comes during the spring and summer flood seasons, it would be too dangerous.

Remembering that people here believe in ghosts and gods, Qin Yao added, "You have to swear to God, and you can't just promise it with your mouth."

Erlang didn't take it seriously at first, but now that he saw Qin Yao even swearing, he realized that Qin Yao was serious.

He responded hurriedly: "Okay, I'll tell Brother Jinbao."

The hot water was already boiling, Liu Ji shouted from the kitchen.

Qin Yao stood up and called the three children beside her to come to the kitchen to wash their faces and feet.

There are two basins at home, and Qin Yao naturally uses one alone.

Da Lang and Er Lang will take care of their younger siblings, Qin Yao will help them pour hot water, and the remaining four siblings will do it themselves.

Liu Ji looked at his four children lining up to wash their faces and feet in an orderly manner, as if they were seeing something unusual, and made a tut-tut sound from his mouth.

Qin Yao glanced at him, looked at his messy long hair, and sincerely suggested: "You'd better wash your hair."

It's not a cold day yet. If it were later in the day and my hair was so long and I didn't have a hair dryer to dry it immediately, I would easily catch a cold.

It's not that I care, I just feel sorry for the money.

Qin Yao touched the long hair on her head. It was dry and frizzy, and the quality of the hair was very poor. It would be better to cut it off and grow it again.

She did what she thought of and wiped her feet with a foot cloth made from old clothes. Qin Yao poured out the water and put the basin under the eaves. She got up and went into the side room. She dug out a pair of scissors from the pile of sundries she had bought before. .

With a few "clicks" and without any hesitation, he cut off all the dry hair that was almost calf-length, leaving only a little length below his shoulders.

Throw the cut long hair into the stove and burn it!

The flames burst into flames, and the five father and son were so frightened that they all stepped back several steps. Looking at Qin Yao's medium-long hair, they were greatly shocked in their hearts.

It is said that the body, hair, and skin of parents are affected by their parents. If their children are easily damaged, it would be extremely unfilial!

After she cut her own hair, she waved to them, thinking that they would join her.

Qin Yao asked doubtfully: "Don't you want to cut it?"

The five father and son looked horrified. Do you think we are thinking?

Qin Yao shrugged, "It's up to you."

Anyway, she is comfortable now.

It was late, and Qin Yao was tired after a day of physical labor. She smiled at the four Dalang brothers and sisters, "Good night."

Turn around and go back to the house, close your eyes and fall into a deep sleep.

Liu Ji immediately boiled a pot of hot water again and washed his hair cleanly.

It seemed like this, Qin Yao would not attack him because she disliked his dirty hair.

The doctor brought two more pairs of medicine. Liu Ji washed his hair and used the remaining fire in the stove to toast his hair while applying medicine to his face according to the feel of his hands.

Dalang put his younger siblings to sleep, quietly came out of the side room, squatted in front of Liu Ji, and asked curiously:

"Dad, why did they only slap you in the face?"

"It's a long story. Let's talk about it next time." Liu Ji hesitated and didn't want to talk about it.

Dalang could only say "Oh" and help him spread the herbs evenly, so that Liu Ji's heart that was hit hard today could get some comfort.

The father and son washed their hands and went back to their houses to sleep.

Thinking of having to get up to make breakfast for Qin Yao tomorrow morning, Liu Ji tossed and turned and couldn't sleep anyway.

He was afraid that he would not be able to get up, and he was also afraid that if he could really get up, he would be reduced to a househusband from now on, without any status.

But if he left, he didn't know where he could go, and the three hundred coppers in his hand wouldn't last long.

And now that the family has white rice and meat every meal, he is really reluctant to live such a life.

If Dun Dun is at this level, then it's not impossible for him to cook at home if he feels a little aggrieved.

It’s better than farming in the fields anyway!

Liu Ji's moral standard is that he has no moral standards, and he decisively chooses to put himself down from the moral baseline.

He pulled up the quilt and closed his eyes to sleep.

It's just that he always sleeps until three o'clock in the morning. Driven by the desire to survive, he wakes up as soon as the cock crows five times.

The evil woman Qin Yao said she wanted to eat softer food in the morning. She had noodles at home, so Liu Ji decided to steam the steamed buns.
