After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 173

Sure enough, after a while, the mother-in-law came back with a smile.

Behind him was a middle-aged woman who was even more gorgeously dressed and looked like a steward in the palace.

The mother-in-law called her Aunt Wei. She was the confidant of the old lady Ding. She specially obeyed the old lady's order and came to invite the couple to meet her.

 “I'm sorry to keep you two waiting for so long!”

With a smile on her face, Grandma Wei seemed to be a very enthusiastic person. She first apologized to the couple and then explained to them why the old lady had to sleep for so long today.

 Qin Yao and Liu Ji looked at each other, shook their heads to express that it was okay, and followed Aunt Wei out of the side hall, to the innermost courtyard of Ding's house, and finally saw Mrs. Ding.

She looks younger than Qin Yao imagined. Her hair is all black and she is relatively thin. She wears a navy blue silver diamond on her forehead. She is sitting on a large low chair filled with soft pillows, eating something. Ask the maid to help comb your hair.

 Look at this time, it can torture people to death.

Qin Yao hummed and agreed.

Liu Ji's heart skipped a beat after seeing this. He was really afraid that the evil woman behind him wouldn't be able to bear it and rushed forward to give the old lady a slap in the face.

Liu Ji weakly tried again: "How about buying another three taels of Bald Donkey's fine wine?"

Liu Ji had a deep understanding and said with a proud smile: "Then I am lucky to meet a smart and capable woman who makes others envious!"

 He is not bragging at all. Dalang is stable and patient at a young age, and is both civil and military.

Wei Yan owed his lower body, busy claiming that he was not, please ask the old lady to be angry.

Although it is a bit far away, official schools are much easier to get into than private schools.

Then, the old lady's smile gradually disappeared, as if she was thinking of the old lady's granddaughter who had learned to ride and shoot. Her unhappy expression was about to turn into a knife, stabbing Qin Yao's body.

"The school has been built. It is at the east end of Zhuangzi. If you are passing by the village, you can go and take a look. It is bright and solid. I will bring the children here in the spring after the new year. I will ask the Master to write down their names."

 “It's Dalang and the others who are lucky.”

 Liu Ji pointed at Qin Yao and praised her for her superb hunting skills.

 You have to have the attitude of asking for help. In Liu Ji's eyes, Qin Yao was surprisingly relaxed. Except not flattering. This is really hard for her to do.

Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down, Liu Ji quickly cheered it up again, praising the old lady for being young and in good health, mixed in some idioms, and seemed very cultured.

 It gets dark early in winter, and it gets dark in the middle of the afternoon.

 I am really lucky today. The shop selling soy sauce beef is still open and there is still meat.

When the matter was done, Qin Yao and his wife finally exhaled the remaining half of their breath happily.

Liu Ji glanced at Qin Yao. He was a little flattered at first, but when he saw Qin Yao's plain eyes, he suddenly became calm again. He hummed in his heart, it's not like he had a good face after getting a prescription, he had just left them alone for most of an hour.

Liu Ji clicked his tongue and said with envy: "This school built by the Ding family is really willing to use materials. It looks really strong and beautiful."

When he saw Qin Yao and Liu Ji entering the door, he smiled at them and said, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

It's a long way home. If they hadn't delivered Fang Zi, I don't know how long it would have taken me to get home.

Finally getting down to business, Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief and briefly explained the situation of the children at home.

Qin Yao drinks the wine here as a low-alcohol drink. He hasn't had anything to drink for a long time, so he'll have some.

The old lady said a few words to her, and Liu Ji, who had a headache, hurriedly tried to persuade her, and then she calmed down.

 Fortunately, she didn't.

She always told Liu Ji that the next time she took her children to Zhuangzi, she must bring them over to show her. She liked these children playing around. Qin Yao didn't know when she had retreated to the pillar beside the door. She was covered by the curtain and rolled her eyes towards the sky.

Liu Ji asked the old man how he slept and whether his knees hurt in the cold weather. He cleverly mentioned that the mountain deer and big gray rabbits he brought home could be used as knee pads.

 Erlang is smart, likes to read, and has excellent arithmetic talent.

Qin Yao nodded in agreement, "Good luck is also part of strength."

It is much prettier than the academy in the county town. The carvings on the windows are all of the Four Gentlemen of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo and Chrysanthemum.

But he performed well today, so he just needs to beat him less.

Qin Yao coughed twice, turned her head slightly and looked away, feeling that she should only send Liu Ji here to suffer today.

But if someone laughs whenever he meets someone, naturally he can't be cold-faced.

Driving the carriage away, Qin Yao sighed, "It's better to go to the county academy."

There are also Sanlang and Siniang, the twins of dragon and phoenix, it will make people curious for a while.

Qin Yao twitched the corner of her mouth fiercely. There is no need to be so deliberate in flattering.

Liu Ji's low call came from the room, and Qin Yao went in. The couple said goodbye to the old lady together.

The old lady only glanced at her, and the corners of her mouth turned down slightly. It was a very subtle expression of contempt that most people couldn't detect.

Liu Ji was so happy that he grinned from ear to ear. He suppressed the ecstasy and said "Hello". He shook the reins and urged Lao Huang to run faster. He was afraid that there would be no beef cattle to sell if he arrived late.

 Liu Ji was really flattered this time, and responded with a smile: "Okay!"

 After a pause, he remembered his usual treatment at Qin Yao's place, and couldn't help but ask: "Is it okay to buy soy sauce meat?"

 Looks like he got up after sleeping too much.

Thinking of this, Qin Yao raised her head and rushed to Liu Ji, who was driving the carriage, and said, "As we enter the town, see if there is anything you want to eat and take home. We want to celebrate today."

The old lady became happy and praised him for being really good at talking and good-looking. Then she followed her words and asked if the children in Liu Ji's family went to school and if they had any study plans.

 Before leaving, the old lady said with a smile.

 “Pack two kilograms enough so you can drink it during the Chinese New Year.” She asked.

Liu Ji bowed politely. Qin Yao stood two steps away from him, slightly behind him, and bowed slightly to show respect for the old man.

The carriage arrived at the intersection of Dingjiazhuang Road. A manor-style building that had just been built on the side of the road and still showed the color of the original wood that had not had time to be painted appeared in front of the couple.

He was talking about soy sauce beef. Yesterday I went to the village to buy vegetables. I heard someone said that someone in the town had two old cows, and one of them made soy sauce beef. If you can buy it and drink it, it would be awesome.

The old lady was startled at first, and then she pretended to be angry and asked Nanny Wei: "Why did my son wake me up just now? The Liu family also sent mountain deer and rabbits?"

The old lady asked again in surprise: "At this time of year, are there still wild animals active in the mountains?"

Liu Ji's talk was interesting and he was willing to coax people. The old lady was very surprised to hear what he said.

The room was lively for a while, and the old lady's happy laughter came in waves. Qin Yao counted the time, and it was two full hours. Liu Ji provided the old lady with high emotional value for two full hours.

Qin Yao bought five kilograms of beef and went to Bald Donkey's house to buy two kilograms of wine. The couple smelled the aroma of wine and meat and hurried into the house before dark.

 Qin Yao told the good news that she could go to the Ding family to study. The small courtyard was full of surprise cheers from the four siblings.

 It makes this year more lively than in previous years.
