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

Unfortunately, Zhen Yubai had already left when Liu Ji arrived.

They just came to see the great Confucian scholar to write an inspirational poem for the children in the school, and left after receiving the poem.

Liu Ji, who had never been internally distraught, suffered from severe internal dissatisfaction for a day, becoming paranoid and depressed.

In the evening, the children returned from the county town, bringing the news that Song Zhang's family was going to stay in Liujia Village for a few days.

The last time Song Zhang said he would come was before the Mid-Autumn Festival, but he didn't come either.

I didn't expect that the weather would get colder now, so I would be free.

Qin Yao asked Awang: "Did you tell me how long you would be here?"

Awang replied: "Your Excellency didn't say, but I should need it in the next three to five days. I saw that the servants of the Song family bought a lot of things in the city today. They should stay in the village for a while."

Liu Ji was looking forward to it and discussed with Qin Yao excitedly, "Then what should we prepare? How about I go and clean the courtyard of Mr. Song's house?"

There must be fallen leaves everywhere in the new yard where no one lives.

There were few opportunities to show up in front of Song Zhang before, and people didn't take him seriously at all. This time Song Zhang was coming, and Liu Ji decided to show off in front of him.

After all, in the entire Kaiyang County, the only person Liu Juren could make friends with now was Magistrate Song.

All other things could not be seen by Liu Juren.

Seeing his positive energy, Qin Yao said: "Whatever you want."

No, Liu Jilai didn't even eat dinner. He picked up the rag and broom and rushed to the village happily.

Awang endured it and couldn't help but remind loudly: "Master, you didn't take the key."

And there is no key.

Liu Ji, who had already rushed to the river bank, suddenly stopped and turned around angrily, "You didn't tell me earlier!"

Awang thought to himself that you didn’t even ask. Not wanting to talk to the angry old man, he led the horse to the livestock shed, fed Old Huang until he was full, and then went home to eat.

At the dinner table, Liu Ji's resentful eyes flew towards him one after another. Awang was indifferent, took a big bowl, filled a bowl full of vegetables, squatted by the door and ate deliciously, focusing on something that could not be seen or existed.

Liu Ji was angry, but it was difficult to get angry, so he had to turn his anger into appetite and ate two bowls of rice more than usual.

"It smells so good!" He said with satisfaction, as if the embarrassing thing just now had never happened.

The four Dalang brothers and sisters buried their heads in eating, not daring to raise their heads, for fear that their father would see the raised corners of their mouths.

Unfortunately, as soon as Yin Le, who had returned from running, entered the house, he found four children suppressing their laughter. Yin Le, who had no idea what was going on, strode into the main room and asked loudly:

"Da Lang, what are you laughing at? Are you happy?"

Seeing that his father's eyes were about to turn around, Dalang suddenly became wise and hurriedly nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Uncle Song will bring his family to stay in the village tomorrow."

"Uncle Song said when he was having dinner at home last time that his son is the best at archery, and it just so happens that we can go into the mountains to compete."

This was true, so Liu Ji didn't notice anything was wrong, but instead echoed expectantly:

"That's a good relationship. When the young master of the Song family comes, I will take care of him, Mr. Erlang."

"Madam, why don't you give the children two days off? It's also cold today. Seeing those little faces turning red from the cold makes me feel bad." Liu Ji looked concerned.

Erlang seriously refused: "I don't need to. I have already asked for leave today. I have to go back to school tomorrow, otherwise I won't be able to keep up with my homework."

But Qin Yao thought that when the Song family came to the village for the first time, they should really greet them well, at least on the first day they should not be neglected.

"Then please give me another day tomorrow, and go back to school the day after tomorrow." After Qin Yao finished speaking, she looked at the four siblings: "Do you agree?"

The twins nodded wildly.

Although Dalang felt that his parents were a little too doting on his four siblings, he still couldn't resist the temptation of not having to go to school, so he accepted it with a smile.

Erlang sighed and said reluctantly: "That's okay."

So, after breakfast the next day, Qin Yao calculated the time for the Song family to arrive. Seeing that it was almost time, the couple took their children to the entrance of the village to welcome the Song Zhang family.

The weather is not bad today. The sun, which has been missing for many days, appears and brings a ray of warm light to people.

The six members of the family had their hands folded in their sleeves, standing in rows where the sun could shine, looking towards the entrance of the village.

Finally, the sound of rolling wheels came to Qin Yao's ears. Under the expectant eyes of a family of six, a group of people appeared at the entrance of the village.

Song Zhang rode a tall horse with two guards in the front, the two young masters rode ponies, and were in the middle, guarded by their respective servants. Finally, there was the carriage carrying Mrs. Song and Miss Song.

Behind the carriage are servants on an open-air bullock cart, and a black goat.

Yes, Song Zhang not only brought his wife, daughter and son, but also enthusiastically brought a black goat to Qin Yao's family.

After the two families greeted each other at the entrance of the village and the children also greeted each other, Qin Yao looked at the black goat that was stared at eagerly by San Lang and Si Niang, and tentatively suggested:

"Sir, madam, how about we have a barbecue together today?"

Song Zhang and his wife looked at each other and asked in unison: "Barbecue?"

Liu Ji and the children also looked over blankly, not knowing what barbecue was.

Qin Yao didn't expect that everyone didn't know about such an interesting thing as barbecue, but she seemed to have not had barbecue for a long time, and she didn't know how to explain it for a while.

So he waved to everyone and smiled mysteriously, "Just follow me and you'll find out!"

"Da Lang, remember to lead the sheep!" Qin Yao warned.

The elder man responded with a sigh, looked at each other with the second son of the Song Zhang family, and the two young boys of similar age ran over to lead the black goat.

Everyone curiously followed Qin Yao to their home. Qin Yao smiled and asked, "I will make the arrangements. Is that okay?"

Mrs. Song was full of curiosity, so of course there was no problem, and she generously expressed her cooperation.

Seeing that his family was interested, Song Zhang also joked: "If there is something wrong, the village chief can't be angry."

Her temper could explode at any time, and to be honest, he was a little afraid of her.

Qin Yao smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, I'm not that stingy person."

"Then since everyone has no objections, let's start taking action?"

Everyone nodded, as if they were waiting for dispatch.

Qin Yao immediately made arrangements and pointed at Liu Ji: "You and Awang killed the sheep, cut all the best parts of the meat into small pieces and marinated it, and turned on the fire to let Li stew the rest. "

Liu Ji wanted to talk more with Mr. Song, but unfortunately he had no chance to refuse, so he was taken away by Awang, and together they sharpened their knives to the goat.

Qin Yao nodded with satisfaction and told Dalang and Siniang:

"You go to Lian Yuan and ask Mr. and Mr. Qi if you can borrow the viewing platform in front of their house. It has the best location with plenty of sunshine and beautiful scenery. By the way, invite them to join our barbecue party."

"I don't think they will say no."

After receiving the order, the brother and sister immediately ran towards the Lotus Courtyard, extremely excited. (End of chapter)
