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

Entering the city, the happiest thing is the children.

Each family followed their parents, looking here and there, very excited.

Si Niang secretly whispered to her sister Jin Hua, "My father is studying in the county academy."

Jinhua gave a cooperative wow and said that her third uncle turned out to be so powerful. Liu Ji, who was eavesdropping, grinned so much that his face twisted.

Today at the city gate, he stole the show.

He wanted to see if the people in his old house would still call him a bastard after he returned to the village.

Liu Zhong and He wanted to buy groceries, so Liu Ji took them there. Jinhua Jinbao followed Old Man Liu because it was inconvenient to buy things.

Qin Yao and the four elder men accompanied Old Man Liu to see the farm tools first.

There were six and a half-year-old children following behind, which was quite a scene.

Fortunately, the three of them, Erlang and Jinbao, have a strong sense of responsibility as older brothers. One leads the other and the younger one follows obediently behind the adults.

But when I saw the vendor holding a target with red candied haws on it, I couldn't walk even half a step.

Old Man Liu raised his hand to strike, and Jinhua quickly said: "Dad gave us the copper coins, we can buy them ourselves!"

"How much money do you have for speaking so loudly?" Old Man Liu asked angrily. The raised hand did not strike, but was half withdrawn.

Jinhua quickly took out the coins from the pocket that her mother had sewn. There were two coins!

Jinbao was shocked, "Why didn't my father give it to me?"

They are all the children of the family. Why did the second uncle give Jin money but his father didn't give it to him?

"This is not fair, I want it too!" Jin Bao angrily stretched out his hand towards his father, and received a slap from Old Man Liu.

"If you want money, go to your parents. I have nothing to do with you."

Seeing Jinbao's defeat, Erlang laughed unkindly, "Hahaha, you are the only one who doesn't have pocket money, we all have it!"

A Niang gives each of the four of them fifty cash pocket money every month. They were deceived by their good-for-nothing father earlier and they regretted it to death. They would have spent it if they had known better.

When Qin Yao gave them their pocket money every month, the four brothers and sisters quickly spent some, whether it was asking Qin Yao to help buy paper, or asking people from the village to go to the city to buy some meat, it was necessary to spend money anyway.

Otherwise, you never know when you will be deceived by the good-for-nothing dad again, and it will be wasted.

Under Jinbao's disbelieving gaze, Erlang took out the pocket money of his brothers and sisters. Each of the four brothers and sisters had a candied haws.

Dalang didn't want to eat it, so he told his grandfather. Old man Liu really didn't expect it. Looking at the candied haws that was handed over, he was extremely moved.

"Good boy Dalang, you can eat it yourself. Grandpa doesn't like this." Old man Liu refused with a smile and touched Dalang's shoulder. He felt that the child suddenly grew up a lot and became more and more handsome as he grew.

Dalang shook his head and stuffed the candied haws directly into Old Man Liu's hand, "You can eat it, it's so sweet."

Qin Yao also said: "Try it."

Old man Liu confirmed again that Dalang really didn't want to eat, and then he happily accepted it.

"Then I, an old man, should try it too. In the past, I only saw their little babies clamoring for food. Let me have a taste of it and make them miss it like this."

Jinbao immediately rushed to his grandfather and said, "Master, I will go to the fields with you to cut wheat later. I have grown up and can do more work for the family, don't you think so?"

Old man Liu said "yo" and looked at Liu Jinbao, a fellow who loves to complain, curiously, "You still go to the fields to cut wheat? Don't shout that you want to go home and go to the latrine as soon as you get to the field."

"How could it be!" Jinbao held his grandfather's arm, stared at the candied haws, and said sweet words that he didn't even believe, telling his grandfather to rest and let his grandson do it.

Old man Liu was amused by his greediness, but he was soft-hearted and gave him all the candied haws without even eating a bite.

Jinbao immediately made a proud face at Erlang, look, we also have candied haws!

Erlang rolled his eyes and was too lazy to argue with him. He ate his own candied haws, which was sour and sweet.

Sanlang and Siniang finished eating the front piece and couldn't bite the back piece. They raised the candied haws in their hands and asked the eldest and second brothers to help break off the upper half of the bamboo stick.

Dalang Erlang scolded them for being stupid, and broke the pointed sticks for them.

The children ate so quickly that by the time they reached the place where farm tools were sold, all that was left of the candied haws in their hands was the sticks.

Old man Liu bought two iron hoes. The ones without handles can be used by cutting wooden sticks and attaching them to them.

I saw someone selling iron plows, so I gritted my teeth and bought a pair.

These farm tools are not cheap. Just these three items cost Old Man Liu three taels of silver.

Carrying an iron plow and two hoes, Old Man Liu felt both pain and joy.

Now there are two pairs of iron plows at home, and two more iron hoes, making spring plowing much easier.

Even if the money is spent, there will be nothing left from selling grain last year.

Liu Zhong had to host another banquet here. Although he received gifts, he could barely make ends meet, and he had to give up so many favors.

Qin Yao is going to the cattle and horse market to visit. Although she doesn't plan to buy a horse for the time being, if there are farm cattle at a suitable price, it is not impossible to consider it.

Liu Ji is not only afraid of the job of plowing, she is also afraid!

Dalang and Erlang can go to the fields to help, but it's very limited.

Since Old Man Liu can't afford it, why can't we take a look? Thoughts, joy to follow.

On the way, Qin Yao suddenly remembered Liu Fei's marriage and asked curiously: "Dad, how do you like me?"

When this was mentioned, Old Man Liu's face fell, "It's not that good. He didn't like anyone. You said it's irritating or not, but you don't know why you are a coward? He even picked someone, saying he wanted to find someone with a good temper and a capable person. Yes, but also good-looking."

"Such a good girl doesn't want to think about whether others will like us. Even if they do, we can't afford the bride price."

Qin Yao raised her eyebrows in surprise and regretted asking.

Seeing that Old Man Liu was still complaining, Qin Yao quickly changed the subject, "Dad, look over there, there are people selling cattle and carts together, let's take a look!"

"Where are they?" Old Man Liu was indeed attracted and asked Jinbao to lead his sister to follow. A group of young and old squeezed into the crowd.

It turned out to be a second-hand bullock cart. It had just been bought less than a year ago. The seller was in need of money and was anxious to sell it. The price was very low. Even his cart was sixteen taels of silver.

Many people are interested and are bargaining there.

The seller touched the cow, with tears in his eyes, and refused to let go after biting sixteen taels to death.

Old man Liu came forward with an iron plow to take a look. He was not afraid of getting dirty. He opened the mouth of the cow and took a look. Then he squatted down and touched the cow's legs and tripe. He also grabbed the cow's hooves and looked at the hooves. He was very professional.

After reading it, he nodded with satisfaction.

The seller was overjoyed and thought he was going to buy it. Unexpectedly, he turned to his daughter-in-law and said:

"The cow is really good, but it's a pity that we can't afford it. Let's go."

Qin Yao's family rented ten acres of land, and Old Man Liu never thought that this small amount of land would be plowed by oxen.

So when Qin Yao took out the money and was about to pay, the old man was almost frightened and quickly reached out to stop him, "What are you doing! Put the money away quickly, we won't buy it, we won't buy it!"

The latter part of the sentence "Don't buy" is addressed to the seller.

The seller, who was already suffering from the low price, finally saw hope and almost shed tears now.
