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

Dalang, Erlang and Siniang looked at each other and felt that the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit strange. Aniang was eating heavily, but her eyes were fixed on Awang, who was lowering his head.

Dad looked so distracted that he almost put food into his nostrils.

Only Saburo didn't notice, so Hululu just drank half a bowl of scrambled egg and vegetable soup rice.

Siniang shook her head helplessly and whispered: "What an idiot."

"Melon?" Sanlang didn't hear clearly, thinking that his sister was imitating him in making frog calls, so he chuckled and yelled "Quack!"

Si Niang: "."

The younger sister patted her brother's little head with her backhand and smiled, "It's okay, little brother, just keep eating."

Sanlang smiled brightly at his sister, put a large handful of scrambled eggs into Si Niang's bowl, "Si Niang will eat it too, the eggs are delicious."

With that said, he stood up again and pinched Qin Yao and Liu Ji together.

Liu Ji looked at the child happily, observing secretly while eating, his eyes constantly switching between Awang and Qin Yao.

Qin Yao was not a dumb person. She glared at Liu Ji unhappily and raised her hand slightly. She was instantly honest.

After five bowls of white rice and two bowls of soup, Qin Yao put down her chopsticks.

She discovered that the food on the table was the daily amount for their family of six. This Ngawang really did what he said and only asked for some leftovers.

But whose share is left? She had finished her portion anyway.

Liu Ji felt that he was like a roundworm in the belly of an evil woman. He could read whatever she wanted. There was nothing that made people want to hit the wall more than this.

"Come here, the master will reward you with something to eat." Liu Ji waved towards the door angrily.

As if he couldn't hear these bad words, Awang came over respectfully, raised his empty bowl in front of Liu Ji with both hands, and said gratefully: "Thank you, master! Thank you, madam! Thank you, young master and ladies!"

Liu Ji had goosebumps when he heard this series of praises, and he hurriedly motioned for him to stop. Don't do this next time, just say thank you, sir.

Awang did as he was told: "Thank you, sir."

Liu Ji glanced at him and suddenly felt that this man was a bit scary.

Clay figurines also have three points of temperament. Are there really people in this world who have no temper, no self-esteem and no shame?

But I couldn't help but think of something more extreme.

He secretly glanced at Qin Yao who was resting on the chair. Liu Ji didn't continue to do anything. He poured all the food he couldn't eat to Awang, and divided the remaining eggs and vegetable soup on the plate among the four children. Whatever was left was given to him.

After Ngawang got the food, he immediately took it out the door. It would be no exaggeration to say that he was gobbling up the food. He finished it in a few big mouthfuls.

Liu Ji's heart trembled and he asked him: "Are you full?"

Awang shook his head sincerely, he was definitely not full.

When Liu Ji saw him like that, he thought of the refugees under the city gate who were like wolves who wanted to eat even people, so he quickly asked him to go to the kitchen to make some more grain porridge.

Otherwise, he was afraid that he would get up in the middle of the night and find that his hand had been chopped off and cooked.

Awang obviously didn't expect that the old man who had just said something evil to him would show kindness. He was stunned for a moment in disbelief, and then looked at Qin Yao in vain.

Qin Yao nodded, thanked him in surprise, and immediately went into the kitchen to cook multigrain porridge for himself.

The rice vat was placed in the kitchen. There was no one else at home. Liu Ji felt that he was different from the old godly women in the village. He would not lock the kitchen to protect his son and wife.

White rice, millet, sorghum, etc. are all available in the tank, all without bran and clean.

Awang scooped out half a bowl of millet to make porridge.

Qin Yao asked in the main room: "Boil more hot water and wash yourself." She couldn't stand the smell.

Speaking of this, Liu Ji brought him back all the way, and his body was full of smell. Qin Yao couldn't stand it any longer, "Stay away from me. By the way, find some of your old clothes and give them to him."

Awang is about the same height as Liu Ji, both tall and tall, and he can wear Liu Ji's clothes.

Liu Ji did have a pair of old linen clothes, the same ones that Qin Yao wore when he first arrived here. They were also patched and patched. If they got dirty, they could only be dried in the sun, but he didn't dare to wash them for fear of ruining them.

But it's much better than the one on Awang's body that has turned into strips and can be easily rubbed into black mud.

Liu Ji was so kind that he even found a pair of straw sandals for Awang. After Awang had filled his stomach, he led him to the river. He took off his clothes naked and jumped into the river. After a sudden thrust, he raised his head from the water. , hook your fingers:

"Awang, come down!"

Awang hesitated for a while, then took off the rags on his body and went into the river.

In order to save some firewood, Liu Ji also took great pains. He first washed all the dirt off his body with the river water that was still warm from the sun, and then washed it with soap when he went home. It could save several buckets of water.

He said that Qin Yao was being hypocritical and insisted on taking a hot bath. It would be so pleasant to take a bath in the river in this summer.

Seeing the three Dalang brothers looking towards the river frequently, ready to make a move, Qin Yao solemnly warned:

"You are not allowed to bathe in the river privately, do you hear me?"

The river in summer is 1.23 meters deep. It doesn't look very deep, but it can drown one or two children in the village every year.

Hearing what Qin Yao said, the third brother, who was about to make a move, finally calmed down and went into the shower room to take a hot bath.

It was already dark. Qin Yao took Siniang to wash up for the second time, Liu Ji for the third time, and finally Awang.

He thought that everyone in the master's family had gone to bed, but he didn't expect that Qin Yao and his wife, with their long hair scattered, were sitting at the door of the main room, facing the door to enjoy the cool breeze.

Hearing the sound of the shower room opening, the couple looked over.

"Eh?" Liu Ji raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Awang, why don't you wash your face? I just told you to shave your beard clean with scissors, why didn't you shave?"

Even the messy hair was not cleaned, and the face could not be seen clearly.

Qin Yao asked jokingly: "Is your face shameful?"

Her joking question made Awang freeze in his steps, and then he replied that he had forgotten, so he cleaned himself up.

Maybe I didn't expect that someone these days would care about whether a slave is clean or tidy.

Awang was obviously caught off guard. When he found the scissors and started cutting the messy hair and beard on his forehead, his movements were very slow.

Half a quarter of an hour later, a face that was so ordinary that it could be easily forgotten among the crowd appeared in front of the couple.

Liu Ji didn't believe in evil and asked him to come closer and take another look. He really couldn't remember it!

I just remember that there is a scar as wide as a little finger on the corner of Awang's jaw. The mark is not scary, it seems to have been left many years ago. It is a little lighter than the skin color and cannot be noticed without looking carefully.

Liu Ji curiously asked him how he was injured, and Awang replied: "When I was a child, my father and I went into the mountains to chop firewood, and we were accidentally scratched by a hatchet."

"Oh." Liu Ji nodded. He didn't believe it at all!

After driving Awang to the attic and only the husband and wife were left in the house, Liu Ji immediately closed the doors and windows tightly, knelt down and rushed to Qin Yao's feet!

He hugged her legs and lowered his voice and said urgently: "Madam, I was wrong! Madam, please tell me the truth. Did I bring a fugitive home?"

"I just went to the river to take a bath. Although it was dark, I saw many scars on his body. They were deep and shallow. They looked like the edge of a knife licking blood. The old wounds were not healed and new ones were added."
