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

The Dragon Boat Festival is here.

The Ding family's grandmother sent someone over to ask Miss Ding to go to the old house to celebrate the festival.

Miss Ding refused and said to the person who brought the message: "It's too hot, I feel dizzy and uncomfortable, and everyone is feeling sleepy, so I won't bother my grandmother and the others."

The visitor had no choice but to leave a basket of exquisitely wrapped rice dumplings with colorful threads and return to the old house to reply.

Seeing the person leaving, the girl lying on the couch immediately jumped up and shouted into the study: "Ms. Qin, let's go to the farm for a walk?"

Qin Yao put down the book in her hand and walked out. She wanted to personally protect Miss Ding, so naturally she had to go out with her.

Aunt Qiao was still worried that she was not feeling well, and she was lively when she saw others. Knowing that she had lied, she shook her head helplessly, "Old Madam, if they knew, they would be angry with the young lady."

"Why is she angry? Her favorite granddaughter is not me. She just sent someone to invite me because she was afraid of being criticized. If I really go, they will be really unhappy. It's better for me to be at home. Some."

While complaining, Miss Ding changed into a pair of light clothes under Dou'er's service so that she could go out.

Qin Yao went back to the house to get a bow and arrow, and was ready to go out.

The group of people were about to go out when Butler Yu came. He first greeted the young lady and then waved to Qin Yao outside the house. He was looking for her.

"Butler, what's the matter?" Qin Yao asked doubtfully.

Miss Ding also looked over curiously.

Butler Yu saw them preparing to go out, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to say yes.

"Ms. Qin, your husband-in-law has come to see you with his children. He is waiting under the tree outside the door. Why don't you go and see him?"

"They are here?" Qin Yao couldn't believe it, and she was still a little surprised.

After all, it was a holiday, and she would always think of her family. She was still thinking about it just now, and she didn't know how they celebrated the holiday, but she didn't expect that they would come to the town to find her.

Seeing Butler Yu nodding affirmatively, Qin Yao couldn't help but beat her heart, hoping that she just came to her instead of having something bad waiting for her to wipe her ass.

After notifying people, Butler Yu left.

Qin Yao turned to look at Miss Ding. She must have heard what Butler Yu said, and her eyes were a little curious.

Qin Yao was about to speak when she asked first: "Is your family coming to see you?"

Qin Yao nodded, "Miss, why don't you and Aunt Qiao go first and call the guards, I will chase you later."

"No, I'll go with you." Anyway, she was idle.

She heard from her brother that Mrs. Qin was a continuation of others, so the people who came to see her today were all stepchildren, and she couldn't help but wonder what such a mother-son relationship was like.

Qin Yao was in a hurry to go out and followed her, walking in front and out of the courtyard first.

Sure enough, I saw five people, a father and his son, standing neatly under the tree on the roadside.

"Si Niang!" Qin Yao shouted with a smile.

The five father and son turned around quickly, looking a little excited.

"Aniang!" Sanlang and Siniang ran over directly. Qin Yao picked up one of them and held it in her arms. She was happy, but couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "Why are you here? Aren't you celebrating the festival at home?"

Dalang and Erlang also walked a few steps to greet you. Dalang said embarrassedly: "Sanlang and Si Niang wanted to see you, but dad couldn't resist. It happened to be a market in town today, so we took the village chief's ox cart to come. .”

"It cost five cents!" Erlang added, "Originally, we could have left without spending this money. Dad said he was afraid that we would be tired, so he took the ox cart."

Liu Ji was not angry, "Why do I have to say that I am afraid that you will be tired? Oh, you don't want to sit in this ox cart, right? Then why don't you walk here?"

Erlang was suddenly speechless and couldn't speak anymore. He could only stare at his father angrily.

Qin Yao saw it funny, put down the dragon and phoenix in her hand, and raised her eyes to look at the man standing under the tree, wearing a green shirt, looking like a human and a dog, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.

"I still have work to do, and I can't ask for leave here. You can take them to the town for a walk." Qin Yao said with some regret.

Liu Ji was a little disappointed, "Why don't you let people go home to celebrate the holidays?"

Qin Yao looked at his expression and raised her eyebrows with interest, "What, you still want me to go shopping with you?"

"You, you think too much!" He rolled his eyes angrily.

But don't tell me, I'm used to being beaten three times a day, but suddenly no one is there to take care of him, and I feel so bored at work. I'm not used to it.

Liu Ji was startled by the thoughts that came to his mind. It was so hot in the summer, and he shivered with coldness. Could it be that he was lowered by that evil woman Qin Yao?

Qin Yao patted the drooping heads of the four siblings and smiled mysteriously, "Just wait for me. I'll go back and get something for you."

The eyes of the four siblings immediately lit up, and they nodded.

Qin Yao returned to Ding Mansion, went to her residence and took out the "Enlightenment Illustrated Book" and two blank small notebooks she cut out of waste paper.

Liu Ji's eyes widened immediately, "Where did you get the book?" It looked like a printed version, not a rough handwritten copy.

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows at him proudly, "Don't worry about it. It's just a book. I still have the ability to get it."

Qin Yao handed the book to Dalang, "This is a book about reading pictures and reading. Keep it well and take it home. All four of you brothers and sisters will learn it. If you don't understand, just ask your father."

Under the curious urging of his younger brothers and sisters, Dalang flipped through the book and took a look, his movements became cautious.

The pictures and text inside are very clear, and each word has a corresponding picture, such as an axe, wind, cloud, thunder and lightning, etc., all with thumb-sized pictures. There are also many objects he has never seen before, such as persimmons, pears, and bananas. wait.

"Auntie, is this book expensive?" Erlang asked anxiously.

Qin Yao nodded. Liu Ji was also surprised after reading the contents of the book. Such a good enlightenment book would cost more than one tael in a bookstore, and the quantity of paper may not be such a good one.

Qin Yao handed Liu Ji two blank notebooks made of waste paper and asked him to take them back for the children to write on.

After saying that, he took out three coins from his pocket and gave it to him, and said: "Buy all the pens, inks and inkstones. You should also pick up your books and practice calligraphy more often."

Liu Ji was always greedy for money. He didn't expect that a visit to the town would bring extra gains. He happily accepted the money, but he didn't know if he understood her instructions.

But the four Dalang brothers and sisters listened.

The children were pleasantly surprised and surprised. They didn't know why the stepmother was suddenly willing to spend so much money to prepare pens, ink, paper and inkstones for them.

Children from poor families have never thought that they can still read. They feel lucky to be able to learn so many words, and they dare not even think about so many words.

But looking at the stepmother's attitude today, she wanted them to study seriously.

Erlang was always sensitive to money. He counted on his fingers for a while, but couldn't figure it out. He just felt that if they all read and write, it would cost a lot of money.
