As soon as the Mo family left, Liu Ji picked up the broom and rushed back to his study, and started cleaning angrily.
When passing by Qin Yao, he gave her a resentful look.
She was the one who kept the Mo family behind and tortured him on purpose!
Qin Yao snorted, I knew what kind of virtue you were, so this time I can let you experience the consequences of drifting in advance.
“Madam, why do you still send them food, eggs and meat? I would rather feed them to cows than give them!”
Liu Ji asked angrily while carefully cleaning up the food residue in the study room.
Qin Yao had no intention of helping with the cleaning. She stood by the door and covered her mouth and nose to block the dust. The voice coming out from under her palms sounded muffled.
“Come, come, Da Lang, you are so tall, put all these cleaned books on the bookshelf.”
Liu Ji shook his head confidently, "I don't believe it. How could Si Niang just want my father to come back to work? She must also want my father to come back and buy you candied haws, right?"
He knew that the elder would never miss any opportunity for him to work, so he just got smart and told his wife that he had something important to report.
Si Niang sighed helplessly, "Just say so."
Liu Ji clicked his tongue, "That's because they don't know yet that your father is a Juren."
“Master, we are back!” Yin Le shouted at the gate.
Four small silver ingots were clearly visible at a glance. Qin Yao remembered that she had given fifty taels and asked doubtfully:
“Since there is no chance to spend the silver, why is there still less than ten taels?”
Liu Ji: If you don't catch the strong man who comes to your door, it will be in vain.
Awang nodded, "The stall owner said ten taels."
Awang's eyes flashed with a dark light, and he pointed to the study in the backyard.
“How about it, doesn't it feel good to be the one to raise a son?”
Qin Yao took over the nest of jade rabbits. The carving skills were good and the quality of the jade was pretty good, but, "You told me this thing costs ten taels of silver?"
In the hall.
"That's right." He thought of the vegetable patch he had just inspected, and there was something he wanted to ask his wife.
After giving Uncle Awang the warmest welcome, the four siblings remembered that there was something missing.
But in Liu Ji's eyes: My dear, are you sure you're not doubting your father's and my strength?
“Dad?” Erlang pressed again without waiting for an answer.
“Ababa!!”
"You don't have it, but I can have it." Qin Yao said in a gloomy tone.
Si Niang immediately returned to the study and used it as a sounding tube, "Dad, you can set the dishes and chopsticks now!"
Liu Ji snorted, "Do you and I still have a good reputation?"
Liu Ji suddenly didn't dare to say anything more. He was so crushed by this sweeping move!
Hand on the broom, he looked around. There were still a bunch of items waiting for him to wipe and arrange, which simply ignited the anger he had suppressed just now.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Awang's ears twitched and he heard the familiar sound of carriage wheels approaching rapidly.
Liu Ji frowned slightly, why do these words sound so familiar? Did the evil woman also say that?
Looking at his daughter's delicate little face, which was shrunk in proportion to his own, with an expression of disgust that was almost the same as Qin Yao's, Liu Ji was so excited that he seemed to see Qin Yao in front of him and quickly put her down.
Awang took out another nest of jade rabbits and offered them, "I bought this."
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Qin Yao asked while sitting on the Taishi chair, reaching out to get a few preserved fruits to eat.
Unfortunately, he was a step too late. He was surrounded by four brothers and sisters, who used him as a wooden stake to climb on. Awang had four human-shaped pendants hanging on his body and was trying to prevent them from falling. He never thought of asking Qin Yao about his vegetable patch again.
As a result, the snacks and fruits on the table had just been stuffed by Liu Jilian to Mo Baoer.
Immediately afterwards, the four Dalang brothers dragged their respective book boxes and stepped into the door. They looked up and saw Awang and howled with excitement.
Dalang's lips twitched slightly, and he told the truth: “Master Clan Master only knows that my mother-in-law is the village chief.”
Liu Ji looked at the study room that had been cleaned by Da Lang Erlang, and motioned for the two eldest children to go over first. He stood up and hugged the two eldest children, and whispered as he walked to the main room:
Erlang sincerely asks for advice.
Qin Yao opened her mouth, but hesitated, but didn't say anything. She smiled and said, “It's very beautiful. I like it. Thank you.” Use your own money to buy me a souvenir gift!
Awang scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "As long as Madam likes it."
"Ah—" Before he could say the word "wang", he saw someone following Qin Yao into the main room. The two of them looked like they had something serious to talk about.
The next second, the excited call was replaced by a wail.
“Uncle Ngawang!”
Erlang asked out of curiosity: "Dad, how did you pass the exam? Please teach me."
They all asked in unison: "Uncle Ngawang, where is my father?"
Awang immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed that the elder's gaze disappeared.
Si Niang agreed, ran to the kitchen door, tilted her head and smiled, "Aunt Li, is the food ready?"
"Good boy, Sanlang, come here and give me a squeeze on your shoulders. Your father is exhausted. This job of mopping the floor is really not done by humans."
Seeing that the little girl was about to hide, Liu Jichang grabbed her by the back collar and pulled her back. He held her on his knees and pinched his face curiously, "Six Niang has grown taller again. I haven't seen you for so long. Dad, do you miss Dad?"
She said: "I'm not like you. We are people with a certain structure. If someone comes with an empty cart and then leaves with an empty cart, what do you think will happen to the people in the village tomorrow?"
“Erlang, don't even think about running away. Get me a basin of clean water and come over and wipe the tables, chairs and benches clean!”
Qin Yao had already sensed what he wanted to ask in advance, picked up the money and the nest of jade rabbits, and immediately stood up and looked out the door, "The children should be back from school, why haven't they arrived yet?"
The four children immediately roared towards the backyard.
Waving his hand, "Go and ask Mr. Li when dinner will be served. Your father is starving to death."
Liu Ji has never had the guts to care about the affairs of the head of the family, so he had to shut his mouth angrily and continue to tidy up the study.
Li nodded, “Now you can put the dishes and chopsticks.”
Si Niang pushed away her father's evil hand, protected her face with her hands, and said happily: "I think, what I want most is that my father will come back to work~"
Qin Yao had no choice but to take her hand back in embarrassment and make a note for Liu Ji in the little notebook in her heart!
A Wang returned the remaining 40 taels of silver to Qin Yao, "Madam, there is no chance to spend money on this trip to the college examination."
He wanted to say that it was a gift from him, but after thinking about it and seeing the terrifying way the elder stared at him, Awang changed his mind and said, "The elder... and I gave it to you, madam."
The four brothers and sisters threw down their book boxes and hugged Awang. Their enthusiastic attitude frightened Awang, and he hurriedly stepped back.
At this moment, he was warmed by the sincerity of the children, and Awang, who usually had little mood swings, laughed out loud.
The father and son walked into the main room. Qin Yao also heard Erlang's inquiry. On behalf of the whole family, she asked again: "Tell me, we all want to know."
When the food was ready, Liu Ji sat down on his seat, picked up his chopsticks, and said, "Eat first, and then we'll talk after you finish."
After all, it's not a glorious method. He has to think of a euphemism first. (End of chapter)
