After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields Chapter 220

Chapter 220 Chapter 220 Great-aunt passed away

“Everyone is leaving?!”

Because they were too surprised and couldn't believe it, the four siblings' voices were an octave higher than usual, almost piercing Liu Ji's eardrums.

He quickly covered his ears, calmed down for a moment, and looked at Qin Yao who had made up his mind.

Since it was not him who spent the money, and the children at home were all there, he and his four children might still be able to get some pocket money for use.

“Let's all go, it's decided!” Qin Yao said.

After receiving this affirmative answer, the twins happily threw themselves into A Niang's arms, holding her arms and kept asking: "Is it true? Is it true? A Niang is not allowed to lie!"

Qin Yao repeated it three times that it was true. Only then did the two little guys believe it. They were hit by happiness and ran wildly in the main room to vent their excitement that had nowhere to go.

Don't they both feel sorry for the money at all?

Liu Ji had a sad look on his face. He sighed first and then winked at Dalang and Erlang. The two brothers understood and immediately lowered their heads in a gesture of grief.

As the old saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of miles of books.

Qin Yao smiled and motioned for Old Man Liu to sit down first, "The main task is of course the scientific examination, and the fun is just a side trip."

Siniang's eyes lit up and she said, “Aniang, Aniang, I want to drink chicken soup, and I also want a chicken leg!” Just thinking about it makes me drool.

On Qin Yao's side, Master Cheng also asked the same question: "But what happened at home?"

Finally, including food and drink for a family of six, eight taels of silver will definitely be spent.

Liu Ji smiled mysteriously, "My wife and I have our own arrangements for this."

Confucian scholars value filial piety most. After hearing this, Master Ding not only agreed to leave, but also told the two brothers to keep vigil for their great-aunt for a few more days.

The twins, who were told by their father not to laugh but to cry, heard Master Cheng's words and almost couldn't contain their joy.

Qin Yao said: "Just ask for leave."

Children are happy, but adults have more problems to solve.

When it comes to spending money, Qin Yao always spends money and saves money, so she told them not to worry and to prepare their luggage.

The point is that he does not want to destroy the image of a loving father that he has worked so hard to establish in the hearts of his children.

He was really afraid that the twins would cry to heaven and earth, causing no peace in the family.

Saburo pouted, looking a little reluctant, but he didn't object. As a result, when everyone gathered to eat chicken in the evening, the little guy drank two bowls of rich chicken soup and said with tears: "It's so hot, but it's so fragrant~"

At first they thought Qin Yao had a clear mind and knew how to save money.

Erlang and Dalang looked at each other, can they ask for leave like this? Will sir not allow it?

Qin Yao assured them that there would be no problem. Who didn't lie to the teacher when they were young because they wanted to travel with their parents?

Early the next morning, the couple called Sanlang and Siniang to them and asked them their opinions on killing the chickens.

Qin Yao ignored him and pointed to the chickens in the yard. They had been raising them for more than a year and were already very big.

Of course, this is not the point.

"Would it cost a lot of money?" Erlang was a little worried. With so many of them going on a long journey, eating, drinking, and eating on the way cost money. When they get to Fucheng and have to stay in a hotel, it will be even more.

Liu Ji had some objections, "We are all one family, so why should we be divided between you and me? Brothers can help each other without paying any money."

Liu Ji remembered the deliciousness of the chicken soup, licked the corner of his mouth, and asked tentatively: "Why don't you kill them and eat them? If you stay, you have to find someone to feed them, which is really troublesome."

Qin Yao sneered at him: "You are shameless and I want more."

　　Liu Ji lowered his eyelids and curled his lips when she wasn't paying attention, and muttered: "Why are you scolding someone when you are so good?"

Master Cheng valued these two students, Siniang and Sanlang, very much. If it was not necessary, he did not want them to take leave and delay their studies.

Liu Jidao: "Tomorrow morning we will go to the clan school to help the four of them ask for leave."

Master Cheng's face changed, and he immediately showed some polite sympathy, which was originally a bit reproachful.

"This is only a month, Master, can you agree?" Liu Bai was very curious as to what reason Liu Ji would use.

Liu Ji touched the corners of his eyes and said, "The child's great-aunt has passed away. She has been very kind to us since she was a child. So this time, we have to go to the funeral of our great-aunt. Not only do we have to go, but we also have our two children to be there for them." My aunt will stay for the first seven days to show her filial piety, and I hope that the master will allow me to take leave so that the children can see my great aunt on her last journey."

It is said that a poor family gets rich on the road. No matter how much you save on the road, you still have to spend one or two taels of silver, right? Not even counting the one or two hundred cash per night in Fucheng.

Jinbao witnessed the whole process, and when he returned home, he told what his third uncle and third aunt had done in the academy.

He returned the letter to Qin Yao and said to Longfengtai: "Go, but don't forget to review your homework even if you are sad."

After the couple rushed the four excited children back to the room, the two adults, Qin Yao and Liu Ji, stayed behind. You looked at me, and I looked at you.

Master Ding asked: "Why do you need to take such a long leave?"

All four chickens were killed, and the family couldn't finish them all. Qin Yao called everyone in the old house to eat together, and by the way, she told her family of six that they were going on a long trip.

Before leaving, Qin Yao and Liu Ji followed the children to study at the Ding clan. Qin Yao went to Sanlang and Siniang's place, and Liu Ji went to Dalang Erlang's place.

Eight taels! He and Qiu both gasped at the thought.

After dinner, everyone in the old house still couldn't understand what Liu Ji and Qin Yao were thinking as they looked at the four Dalang brothers and sisters who were happy.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yao handed over a letter from Fucheng with both hands. The content of the letter was exactly the same as what Liu Ji said in front of Master Ding.

　　"Dalang, Erlang, Sanlang and Four Niangs are all going to Fucheng? Are they going for a scientific examination or just for fun?"

The six members of the family nodded in unison.

After telling two more allusions related to filial piety, Master Ding let him go smoothly.

Now it seems that they still know too little about her.

Old man Liu almost spit out the chicken soup when it reached his mouth. He managed to endure the burning and swallowed it, and immediately asked:

Liu Ji asked: "Who feeds the cows at home?"

Dalang and Erlang asked with concern: "What about the school?"

The opportunity to go to Fucheng doesn't come around all the time. Now that he has made the decision, even if it is a little impulsive, Qin Yao will not go back on his word since he has agreed.

There is also a water mill, so I have to tell Mr. Zhang and Old Man Liu not to forget to come and withdraw money.

In addition to the family assets such as fields and grain storage, she still has more than 60 taels of silver in her hand, which is just a trip to the city, and she can't spend it all!

“But these chickens Sanlang and Si Niang are very precious. Do you want to give them a shout first?” Liu Ji suddenly asked again.

All the money he received goes back to the old house, and he earns more than 200 yuan a month, which is considered to be enough to cover the cattle care fees.

Qin Yao glanced at him and responded readily: "Okay!"

He gave Liu Ji a look of relief that said, "You are quite thoughtful." He stood up, waved his hands, and went back to their rooms to sleep.

　　It was already late at night and I was about to go to sleep, but now no one could fall asleep.

Qin Yao thought it made sense. After all, the twins kept those chickens as pets. It would be better to ask.

Fortunately, Qin Yao stepped forward in time to block them both, and bowed to Master Cheng, "You're causing trouble for me, sir!"

Qin Yao said helplessly: "I can only leave it to the old house."

The corners of the dragon and phoenix's mouth couldn't control the upward movement, so it wasn't exposed.

“Has it been decided?” Old Man Liu asked.

In words, I was quite envious that Sanlang and Si Niang could have such enlightened parents.

After listening to Jin Bao's description, everyone in the old house fell into an eerie silence.
