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

Carrying the twelve taels of silver from today's sale, Qin Yao took the five children at home back to Liujia Village after school.

The speed of his ox cart was much faster than that of the driver. When we arrived at the village, the sunset was still hanging in the sky, and the fields were full of busy villagers.

Qin Yao parked the oxcart at the gate of the factory and asked the five children to go home first and she would come back later.

She wanted to calculate the money received today with Carpenter Liu and tell her about modifying the details of the book box.

Dalang and the others obediently agreed, each dragging their own book boxes home first.

Jinbao walked behind with his own book basket and Erlang, who was empty-handed, looking at the bookcases of the three people in front of him with envy in his eyes.

Erlang did it by himself, thinking that Qin Yao would definitely give him a sales commission later, and he was still in a good mood.

Jinbao was not the same. He was really envious, but he also knew that Aunt San would sell a bookcase for more than 500 yuan. It was impossible for his parents to buy it for him, so he could only think about it in his heart.

Or maybe, let the third aunt sell him one at the cost price?

Thinking of this, Jinbao couldn't hold it any longer and said to Erlang, "I'm going home first!"

After saying that, he ran away. His impatient look made Erlang look curious, "Why is he going?"

Dalang had seen through it a long time ago, "Let's ask my aunt to buy him a magical book box."

Erlang said oh, a little regretful, "He should have bought it from me."

In this way, he can not only give him a discount, but also get a commission himself.

Dalang scolded him for being crazy about money and wanted to earn money from everyone, and warned him to restrain himself.

"The good news shouldn't flow to outsiders." Erlang replied weakly, not feeling that there was anything wrong with his thinking.

But we are all cousins, so we still have to take care of family ties. Erlang shut his mouth and stopped talking.

Dalang glared at him, and then urged Sanlang and Siniang, who were playing with grass on the roadside, to walk faster. They had saved up some housework for several days, so they had to finish it quickly while they were resting.

Dirty clothes and socks must be washed, and the yard and house must be cleaned. If it is still early, Lao Huang must be taken to the river for a while so that he can take a bath and eat some young grass.

By the way, there are still chicken coops that need to be cleaned up, otherwise Aunt Yao will be exhausted alone.

The elder brother was full of things, but the three younger ones could not think of so much. Although the elder brother urged him, he couldn't help but be attracted by the things on the roadside, and he took his time to get home.

On Qin Yao's side, he tied up the bullock cart and called out Carpenter Liu, and the two of them took stock.

This time she got back twelve hundred, two hundred and twenty-four cents. After deducting the cost, the net profit was sixty-two, five hundred and sixteen cents.

Qin Yao did not forget Erlang's commission. He was given a commission of six cents for one, and exactly ninety cents for fifteen.

After deducting the ninety cents, the two of them split it equally, and each person received three hundred and two hundred and thirteen cents.

Qin Yao took the other two book boxes as favors from the Ding family, so she only got three taels.

Carpenter Liu said he didn't need to give it to him, but with Qin Yao's insistence, he had to accept it.

Clear accounting is conducive to long-term cooperation.

After getting the money, both of them were happy and continued to communicate about the details of the improvement of the book box.

After everything was discussed and Qin Yao and Qin Yao were about to go home, Jinbao ran in holding He and said expectantly: "Third Aunt, I want to buy a bookcase!"

Mr. He followed behind and said angrily, "This kid is greedy for your elder brother's magical book box. He is so angry at home that he almost pisses me off!"

Seeing the mother and son appear, Qin Yao was not surprised at all and asked Carpenter Liu to go first. She led the two to the warehouse and let Jinbao choose one.

Seeing her son rushing in to choose a book box with joy, Mrs. He first sighed helplessly, and then looked at Qin Yao anxiously.

Before she could speak, Qin Yao said: "Just give me two hundred coins. After all, it is a business partnership between two people. I have to recover this cost, otherwise it will be difficult to explain."

Mr. He let out a sigh of surprise. He didn't expect Qin Yao to take the initiative to reduce so much money. While he was relieved, his heart felt hot.

"Then, I will thank his third aunt on Jinbao's behalf." He counted two slings of copper coins from her purse and handed them to Qin Yao. She was embarrassed for taking advantage of more than three hundred coins.

Qin Yao collected the money, smiled and shook her head, "You're welcome, I'm from my family."

"Yes, yes, it's better to be in your own family." He praised.

Although the bookboxes were all similar in appearance, Jinbao still carefully selected a bookbox that he thought was very special. He couldn't bear to pull it and hugged it all the way.

The three of them were preparing to separate at the door of the old house. He warmly invited Qin Yao to have dinner at home, but Qin Yao refused. She had to go home to see how the wheat harvest was going.

When he mentioned Maizi, He's smile faded, his brows furrowed slightly, he shook his head and said:

"A lot of the wheat this year is infested with worms, and it's not growing well. I heard that the area at the foot of the mountain is almost dead, and there's no harvest at all."

Afraid that Qin Yao would be too worried, he quickly added, "But Liu Dafu's farmland next to the river will be fine, and your ten acres of land should be fine too."

Qin Yao's heart suddenly rose, "Is the pest infestation so serious?"

He sighed, "It doesn't look good, but we have troubles like this every few years. Our family still has food from last year, so we're not worried."

But it is hard to say whether those tribesmen who sold all their excess grain last year to pay for corvee labor can survive until the autumn harvest.

Qin Yao has been busy making book boxes in the factory shed these days, and she really didn't notice this.

When I walked by the river home and looked at the piles of black wheat straw covered with insect spots on the edge of the field, I realized that He was putting it too mildly.

Most of the wheat fields on the back of the village were infested with bugs. Once the bugs hit them, they would cover a large area. Some of the land was scattered and some could be saved. Those large wheat fields that were connected together suffered heavy losses.

Qin Yao grabbed a handful of wheat ears. When she pinched them, they were all flat. A piece of gray dust fell on her fingers. The wheat grains had long been eaten away.

There are farmers in the fields who pile up these wheat straws and burn them on fire, hoping that the fire will kill these pests and not affect spring plowing.

Now that things have happened, farmers can only try their best to ensure that there will be no problems with the next crop of food.

I thought to myself, just bite the bullet and hold on until the autumn harvest.

Qin Yao returned home feeling uneasy. The yard at the door was filled with wheat harvested by two day laborers.

These two day laborers have already cut half of it, and the rest will take most of the day tomorrow.

Taking advantage of the last rays of the setting sun, Qin Yao checked her wheat and found that there were many black spots. The seemingly full wheat ears were half empty when she touched them, and her heart sank.

Si Niang called out from the courtyard: "Mom, it's time to eat!"

Qin Yao patted the empty shell on her palm, stood up and responded: "Here he comes."

She put away all her worries, walked into the yard with a smile, washed her hands and started eating.

After dinner, a familiar sound of footsteps suddenly came from outside the hospital. Qin Yao's ears twitched slightly and she turned to look at the gate.

Liu Ji, who was supposed to be waiting for the results of the results in the county seat, actually came back carrying a burden.
