Chapter 95 Toys
In the early morning, Qin Yao, who had just gone to bed at midnight, heard the **** crow in the village and got up.
I simply packed up and took the two drawings I drew on the table after staying up late to get ready to go out.
Erlang poked his little head out of the room, looked left and right first, but did not look at his father, and then whispered: "Auntie."
Qin Yao was about to step out of the door with one foot. When she heard a low call from behind, she turned around and asked doubtfully:
“Why did you get up so early?”
In the past, morning exercises were not so active.
Obviously, the little guy didn't want to do morning exercise, but had other things to do.
He trotted over clutching his chest, took out eight cents from his arms, and asked her if she was going to Xiahe Village and if she could buy something for him back.
“Let's go buy some bacon?”
After saying that, he buried himself in copying the book, writing with such seriousness.
The four brothers and sisters went back to the house to take a nap. To regain their energy, they would practice calligraphy and memorizing in the afternoon.
At the entrance of the village, I saw the two Dalang brothers running back and forth on the ridge of their fields from a distance. Under the clear blue sky in the early morning, in the green rice fields, naughty children shuttled among them. The scene was healing and warm.
Liu Ji nodded quickly and said he understood. Seeing that Qin Yao had just returned home and was about to go out again, he asked doubtfully:
Qin Yao walked quickly and arrived at Xiahe Village in more than an hour.
Unfortunately, I still have to be busy.
Watching Qin Yao walk away, Erlang was still a little dazed. He spent most of the night mentally building up, but he didn't expect his stepmother to agree so readily, without even saying a word about being dejected by playing with things.
Qin Yao came to the Liu family's old house. At noon, the whole family, old and young, were resting under the eaves to enjoy the cool air.
Before she went to Ding's house last time, she left Erlang two coins for emergency use, but they were not used, so the money was still left.
Dalang smiled and looked at the happy expressions of his younger brothers and sisters. He grabbed Erlang who was about to climb into bed and go back to sleep. He got dressed and dragged him out for morning exercises.
Two cents of silver, the amount is fifty cents per person. This time, the four brothers and sisters each contributed two cents to buy something together. It was also the first time for the four children to use it.
Erlang nodded expectantly with "Hmm."
Although she has to study, Qin Yao calculates her time according to seven days a week, and still gives two days off on weekends to let the four siblings relax.
Qin Yao shrugged indifferently, "It's up to you. Anyway, I have to eat meat and white rice at night. I will be very busy and tired recently. You can prepare better food."
Qin Yao doesn't care how she spends her money. She even hopes that her four children will be bolder and more willful, and buy some random things, as long as they are happy.
Qin Yao smiled and replied: "I'm taking a nap at home. You can go and play by yourself first. They will come to you later when you have time."
After finishing the chicken **** and washing hands, Liu Ji heard a reminder from the main room, "The rice is warm on the stove."
There are also salesmen in Xiahe Village, and the things sold by the salesmen there are much better than those sold by Liu Salesman.
If she hadn't heard him humming a tune just before entering the door, Qin Yao almost believed him.
Seeing Qin Yao, she obediently called her third aunt. Jinhua also asked her, "Where are San Lang and Si Niang? Why don't they come out to play?"
The courtyard was very quiet, with only the rustling of books coming from the main room. The eaves blocked the scorching sun at noon and cast a cool shade. Qin Yao was cooking, wishing she could sit like this until the end of the world.
Otherwise, she will be very irritable if she is exhausted from working all day long and cannot have a good meal when she comes home.
Forget it, if you can't afford to offend him, why can't you hide from him?
Qin Yao picked up the pot, took two small stools, used one as a table and the other as a stool, and sat at the door of the kitchen to eat.
I deliberately set aside some of the extra stir-fried vegetables in the morning until noon. After cooking the porridge, I pour the vegetables into the porridge and mix it. If you feel it is not fresh enough, pick a small handful of green vegetables from the yard, wash them, chop them and sprinkle them in. They don't look very good. , but the taste is very good.
It was already noon when I returned home.
"Where are you going?" She asked immediately. "I'm going to make money. I'm going to go wherever I want! Copy your book quickly."
Jinhua and Jinbao are full of energy and are not afraid of the heat. They ran out to play in the village well.
Entering the kitchen, there was indeed a pot of vegetables and rice being heated on the stove with the residual fire.
Just. So happy!
Erlang's eyes widened, but before he had time to react, his brother had already taken him to the river. After all, he had spent most of the night struggling with the wrong payment!
Qin Yao went to Carpenter Liu's house first and handed him the drawings of the waterwheel to be built in Xiahe Village before heading towards the village entrance to Xiahe Village.
“Where are you going out again?”
But she didn't ask for it. Thinking that children should have their own pocket money, she called the four brothers and sisters together and asked them to use the two coins as pocket money, and Erlang would keep it temporarily.
After sighing, he watched Qin Yao go out under the bright sun with ropes, poles and other items. He was also glad that he could stay in a cool room and copy books without going out to suffer this pain.
So Erlang seemed a little cautious. He glanced at Qin Yao several times with his big eyes to make sure that she would not be angry, and then said:
“I want to buy a bamboo cuju, is that okay?”
Saburo also said humbly: "Aniang is the best!"
Liu Ji wiped the sweat from his forehead and thought that this woman was as manic as the sky in June.
Qin Yao gently pushed the door open and went in. She put the Cuju and the remaining two pennies on their big desk. She imagined the four little guys' surprised expressions after waking up and seeing the toys, and her eyebrows softened unconsciously. I put my things away and gently closed the door and exited. My yard was clean, but the four chickens that had grown up a lot after being released from the cage pooped on the ground.
Qin Yao: “Bamboo ball?”
After finishing the meal and filling her stomach, Qin Yao told someone in the room: "Make some meat dishes in the afternoon."
The drawings were handed over to Wang Yu, who then called the carpenters from the village. After the two sides finalized various details, Qin Yao went to the salesman in Xiahe Village and bought a bamboo cuju. It cost six coins and left two coins. arts.
After she returned home, Erlang found her quietly and wanted to return the money to her.
Qin Yao picked up the small shovel by the door, shoveled it and covered it on the vegetable plot. Is there any natural fertilizer?
Qin Yao leaned on the kitchen door frame and said angrily: "I wouldn't buy it without you. I don't care about the things in the kitchen. You are responsible for it. You can figure it out yourself."
Erlang ran back to the room. The three brothers and sisters in the room all looked up from their beds. They saw Erlang smiling and nodding. The three brothers and sisters were rolling happily in the bed.
“What do you want to buy?” Qin Yao asked with an interested smile.
"Okay, I got it." Qin Yao accepted his money and went out. The little ones just want a toy and must be satisfied.
Liu Ji quickly raised his head and said, "There is no meat at home."
“I like grandma the most~” Siniang muttered.
But it seems that they did not do this, and Erlang made a rule that he should use the money to apply for a report first, and reasonably arranged the pocket money of the four brothers and sisters.
Dalang and Erlang were already in elementary school in modern times, so I always wanted them to learn more.
However, before dinner in the afternoon, they would also go out to play for a while, catch the bugs that the chickens eat, and then go to the water mill to get the cash box and let Liu Ji calculate the day's income. The four brothers and sisters enjoyed it.
