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

"Liu Li ranked 2nd and 13th, a very good result! Congratulations!" Qin Yao said to Liu Li with a smile.

Liu Li smiled excitedly at Qin Yao, a little unsure of what to do. He looked at the names on the list and confirmed them over and over again.

Si Niang and her sister didn't believe that their father couldn't be on the list, so they watched it from beginning to end twice, but in the end they had to recognize the reality.

It is true that passing the main examination is not something you can just get lucky, it requires real talent and practical learning.

And their biological father didn't have a few drops of ink in his belly.

"Alas~" The dragon and phoenix sighed.

Dalang and Erlang looked at each other and looked at Liu Li with envy, "Congratulations to Uncle Li for being on the list."

"Thank you, thank you!" Liu Li thanked him happily.

He didn't expect that he could pass the exam in one try. He just felt that everything was unreal. He still had to hold on, otherwise he wouldn't know where he would go with the flow of people.

Qin Yao glanced at Liu Ji and said, "Don't you want to say congratulations?"

Liu Li just comforted him to keep up the good work next time. We can't even stop congratulating him just because he didn't make the list, right?

Liu Ji refused to speak!

He has been dreaming these days, dreaming about the invigilator who was standing in front of the exam table, staring at him, pointing at his nose and saying: I am very optimistic about you, and I will definitely let you be on the list!

Result, that's it?

Although I knew that I was just going through the motions and experiencing the feeling of a formal scientific examination, it turned out to be just a formality. The feeling of frustrated expectations was still very uncomfortable.

Qin Yao saw that Liu Ji was still reluctant to speak, so she didn't bother to talk about him anymore.

Liu Li and Dazhuang went to the government office to go through follow-up procedures, and the two families were separated for the time being.

On the way back, when Qin Yao turned around, the five father and son sighed with similar faces.

A good little kid turns out to be very old-fashioned, like a little old man.

Qin Yao wanted to go with them, but she really couldn't stand the negative atmosphere. When she reached the door of the inn, she stopped and turned around.

"Liu Ji, is it so difficult to recognize your own shortcomings?" she asked with a frown.

Liu Ji didn't know what he was thinking. He raised his head after a while, nodded, and then raised his hand to point to the ice syrup sign hanging in the lobby, "Have a bowl of ice drink and you'll be fine soon."

The four little ones next to her immediately showed disdain, stood back to their mother's side decisively, and looked at their biological father with incomprehensible words.

They have never seen such a shameless person!

Seeing that he could still make such unreasonable demands, Qin Yao knew that he was absolutely fine and sneered, "I think you want to eat shit!"

Liu Ji: "Madam, don't use bad words."

Qin Yao's eyes narrowed dangerously, and she said in a deep voice: "The list has been released. Get ready. We will leave the city and go home early the day after tomorrow!"

Liu Ji saw that she was about to get angry, so he stopped as soon as he was ready, hurriedly agreed, and followed his mother and daughter back to the guest room honestly.

However, when passing by the lobby, my eyes can't help but glance at the ice drinks in front of other guests.

But when I looked at the price on the signboard, I saw that it was only 80 cents a bowl before, but now it has risen to 180 cents a bowl.

Liu Ji clicked his tongue and shook his head, "I can't afford it, I can't afford it."

Today, the price of rice in the city has risen a lot again. The people in this city have money. Not only can they afford high-priced rice, but they can also afford meat, drink, and ice.

But I don’t dare to think about what the scene is outside the city.

The huge gap between the rich and the poor is even more obvious in the city. An ordinary person in the city can eat several times as much as a person in the countryside.

I heard that there is a famine in the neighboring houses, but the young masters and ladies here can continue to drink tea and compose poetry. There is enough food left at home, and they seem not to feel the changes outside.

The rice, flour, oil, grains, fruits and vegetables were brought in every day by the guards from the village outside the city, and they lived a very happy life.

Liu Ji looked envious and jealous, and hated himself for not having such a fate.

But it's useless to talk about it now. The evil woman will leave the day after tomorrow, and he still has work to do.

This family of six had to prepare carefully for food on the road.

The fifty kilograms of flour he brought when he came here is finally going to be used. With the current price of food in the city, Liu Ji wouldn't even buy it if he had a headache.

A pound of fine rice already costs ninety cents.

Every day when he goes to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, he is shocked by the price of rice.

But when I came back and told the evil woman at home, she was not worried at all and even said with a smile:

“The fact that we can still buy grain at high prices shows that the problem is not big.”

It would be terrible to wait until all the rice shops are closed. Where is this going now?

Qin Yao asked Liu Ji to prepare dry food for the road, and asked the four children to finish their homework quickly, and then packed their luggage in advance.

After arranging the father and son, Qin Yao went out again.

First, I went to the lumber store to check with shopkeeper Fang to confirm the delivery status of the first batch of lumber. I was relieved to learn that the lumber had begun to be delivered to Liujia Village.

The two of them confirmed the quantity and delivery date of the subsequent wood. Only after everything was arranged correctly did Qin Yao leave.

After that, she went to Fulong Trading Company and failed to see Jiang Wen, the second shopkeeper, so she had to ask the clerk to help convey the news that she was returning to the village.

After leaving the business, Qin Yao returned to the inn before spending dozens of pennies to inquire about the situation outside before the escort office closed.

Liu Ji led Dalang Erlang and two helpers to make dry food in the kitchen.

Leave twenty kilograms of flour to make some hot noodle soup or pimples on the way, and use the remaining thirty kilograms of flour to make scones.

This stuff is easy to store, and you can make enough at once to eat it all the way.

It's just too dry. When it cools down, it becomes as hard as a helmet.

But it was only four or five days on the road, and it passed patiently.

Liu Ji also specially learned two tricks from Mrs. Zou in the kitchen. Eat the scones with sweet water, or break them into pieces and soak them in the broth to make a paste, and then sprinkle a handful of chopped green onions. The taste is quite good.

Qin Yao came to the kitchen to look for the father and son. Hearing what Liu Ji said, she laughed dryly.

"You have such wonderful thoughts. Do you know what's going on outside now? Not to mention the chopped green onion broth. If you make the aroma, you will be noticed, you will be surrounded and killed at night, and you may be cooked."

Liu Ji was so frightened that he almost threw the dough in his hand into the fire pit. He finally managed to steady himself. He felt that Qin Yao was deliberately trying to scare him and muttered angrily:

"Madam, it's not dark yet, what ghost stories are you talking about?"

"It's not a ghost story." Qin Yao looked serious, "A large number of refugees from neighboring provinces have come here. The capital is in the south of the province, so I haven't seen anyone here yet."

"But if we go all the way back and head north, we will definitely encounter them on the way."

"Ah?" Liu Ji was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Madam, where did you get the news? Why didn't I know?"

Qin Yao patted Erlang on the shoulder, and the little guy immediately chose the largest crispy scone and handed it to her.

Qin Yao sneered at Liu Ji while eating the cake: "You only daydream about high school, how can you care about the suffering of the world?"

Liu Ji: "."

"I asked the escort agency for the latest news. It's best to find a few more people to accompany you on the way back. I'm going to find Master Ding and go back together tomorrow."

Qin Yao winked at Dalang again. The biscuit was too dry and she choked.

The little boy understood, took out the bowl, scooped out half a bowl of bone soup for her, and sprinkled a handful of green scallions on top of the cake. It was so fragrant.

Qin Yao nodded to Liu Ji, "This is really good to eat on the road."

Liu Ji choked. Did someone forget that she just said that if she ate this on the road, people would be worried about her and kill her?

Qin Yao drained the soup cakes in the bowl into paste in one go, put down the empty bowl, and patted Liu Ji on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Make more, it's delicious."

If anyone dares to care about her scones and bone soup, don't blame her for being cruel!
