MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 241 Damn pampering

The five mother and son came back just in time. Liu Jigang prepared the meal and put it on the table.

 The kitchen was very busy in the evening and there was no room at all, so he had to go there in advance to prepare the meals.

 The price of food-related items has been extremely high recently. Although it has not skyrocketed, it is still painful to eat.

The price of a pound of fine rice is five times the original price, and a handful of green vegetables can be sold for twenty or thirty cents. This still has to be robbed. You have to squat down and open the city gate. When the surrounding farmers come in to pick vegetables, they start immediately.

 Liu Ji couldn't make it early today, so there were no green vegetables at all on the dinner table, just two plates of pickles and a large pot of white porridge.

Having just been beaten, the pain in his body was still lingering, and he thought about having to wait for the results for more than half a month after the government examination. Liu Ji really wanted to go home at this moment.

However, this negative mood disappeared instantly when I heard the laughter of the mother and the five people coming from outside the guest room door.

"You're back. Where were you today? Why didn't you come back at noon? You weren't hungry at noon, did you eat?"

As soon as Qin Yao entered the door, Liu Ji greeted her enthusiastically and asked a series of questions.

She glanced at him in surprise, "Is something wrong?"

"It's okay." Liu Ji smiled and shook his head. He pushed all the book boxes of the four siblings to the corner of the room and put them away. He turned back and pointed at the hot food on the table and said, "Wash your hands and start eating. I've been out for the day. Are you all hungry?”

 The five of them, mother and son, all said "Oh" together, went to the washbasin and washed their hands with the water prepared by the waiter in advance, then returned to the table and sat down.

There were still not enough stools to sit on, so Liu Ji and Da Lang ate while standing, while Qin Yao and the three younger ones ate sitting down.

Liu Jiyou walked in various directions, sometimes adding some pickles to Qin Yao, and sometimes cleaning up the fallen soup for the twins. The mother and son looked at him as if they had seen a ghost.

Liu Ji touched his face and asked blankly: "What's wrong? Looking at me like this?"

Erlang asked directly: "Dad, have you done anything bad?"

"No!" Liu Ji yelled and hurriedly looked at Qin Yao to explain, "It's unfair. I read in the guest room all day, then went out to the kitchen to cook for half an hour in the afternoon, and then you came back. , How can I have time to do bad things? And why would I do bad things?”

"Then why are you so diligent?" Qin Yao looked at him suspiciously.

You were so kind to her just after being beaten yesterday, are you a masochist?

Liu Ji opened his eyes wide, "Isn't it good that I am diligent? It's not like you went out for a whole day before coming back. I miss you and I can't be nice to you?"

 Qin Yao shook the goosebumps on her shoulders, looked him up and down to make sure there was no flaw in his expression, and then nodded calmly, "I know, let's continue eating."

 Liu Ji snorted angrily, and then gently tapped the back of Erlang's head twice with the tip of his chopsticks. "You kid, eat well." Don't talk nonsense!

Erlang secretly made a face, making the twins couldn't help but laugh.

The meal was lively. At the end of the meal, Liu Ji grabbed Erlang, and they took the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen together.

There are many advantages to staying in an inn. You don’t have to wash the pots and pans. Just throw the dirty ones into the kitchen sink and someone will clean them up.

 Having set up a stall for a whole day of promotion and marketing, after finishing their meal, the four children yawned sleepily and were about to wash up and go to bed.

 When Liu Ji and Erlang came back, they closed the door, opened the floor, and the family of six fell asleep early.

But Liu Ji couldn't sleep, so he faced the bed and asked Qin Yao in a low voice what he was doing during the day.

 “Social practice.” Qin Yao said perfunctorily.

 Liu Jizhi had just gotten the words out of Erlang's mouth. Hearing this answer, he secretly rolled his eyes. Fortunately, the room was dark, otherwise Qin Yao would have seen him and would have been beaten.

“Liujiacun is so far away from Fucheng. Who would go all the way to buy a bookcase from us?” Liu Jixian asked weakly.

Qin Yao scratched the soft little face of Siniang in her arms with her fingers, and replied softly: "As long as you can make money, this little journey is nothing."

“I heard that you are going to do that group purchase? Are you going to deliver goods to your door?”

Qin Yao looked at the black shadow on the ground, "You know very well."

“Hey, Erlang took the initiative to tell me.” He sold his son Liu Ji very happily.

Qin Yao looked at Erlang who was sleeping soundly, and thought that his son was still a bit worse than me.

But what Liu Ji cares about is not her business, but how much money she can make and how much benefit he can get from it.

 So, why should she tell him?

 Men should study hard to gain fame and worry less about family money.

"I've told you, your mission is to study hard and pass the exam. I won't short-change you in food and drink. You don't have to worry about these chores. I'll take care of them." Qin Yao asked with a smile, as if you just want to Just reading and having fun is a doting tone.

 Liu Ji secretly beat the quilt, **** pampering, whoever loves it wants it!

However, he also knew that if he continued to ask, he would only be silenced. Liu Ji pretended to sigh and said with concern:

“Madam, it’s hard work for a weak woman like you to manage such a big family. I feel so guilty for my husband that I can’t help you share some of the hard work.”

Qin Yao: "I don't feel tired. Go to sleep. I'm sleepy."

"What a sweet dream." After hesitating for a while, Liu Jicai squeezed out these three words through his teeth.

 Go to bed early and get up early.

 Qin Yao accompanied the children to complete the basic exercises of morning reading and Dalang. After eating a simple breakfast cooked by Liu Ji, the mother and son went out to set up a stall with their bookcases and pencil cases.

There will be a scientific examination in two days, so Liu Ji naturally has to stay in the guest room to study. He really can't find a reason to go out to see how Qin Yao sells things.

Liu Li doesn't plan to go out anymore. He has to meditate before the exam. In addition, there are middlemen who have to come to them to handle the formalities, so he is very busy.

 Perhaps because the scientific examination is approaching, there are fewer scholars on the street today than yesterday, but the publicity effect is still good. Many parents of students are very interested in the Shenli Book Box and are willing to buy it.

 It is Qin Yao’s proposal of group buying starting from fifty items. Ordinary people find it troublesome and can only suppress their enthusiasm.

If you have relatives in Kaiyang County at home, you plan to write a letter to ask your relatives to help with the purchase. This is also a good way to reduce costs.

 The number of target customers has decreased today, and the five of them, mother and son, closed the stall and returned to the inn in the middle of the afternoon.

During this period, Dalang took on two letter-writing jobs, charging two cents for ten words and earning six cents in pen and ink fees.

  What the common people want is cost-effectiveness, and they don’t have high requirements for Dalang’s handwriting. The customers who get the letters are quite satisfied.

Because they made money, the four brothers and sister decided to come again after discussing it.

Seeing their high interest, Qin Yao had to remind them: "The stall fee is three yuan a day."

 Although she paid for the stall fee today, she should not forget this cost.

 Sanlang and Siniang immediately sighed, "It's so hard to make money."
