MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 83 hug

Chapter 83 Hug

 Liu Ji put the money away and suddenly realized that something was not right.

He can understand buying pens, inks, paper and inkstones for four children, but why are they asked to practice calligraphy?

It’s just that Qin Yao couldn’t delay any longer and hurriedly touched the faces of the four brothers and sisters before going back, without giving him a chance to ask questions.

Father and son stood in rows in front of Ding's house, watching her leave. Their emotions, which had just been high, dropped.

“Dad, how long will it take for Aniang to come back?” Siniang asked expectantly, raising her little face.

 Liu Jiqiao counted the days with his fingers, "There are still twenty days."

Saburo immediately asked: "How long is twenty days?"

“Soon, it passed in a blink of an eye.” Liu Ji deceived.

Seeing that the door of Ding's house was closed, he waved to the bunch of candied haws behind him and raised the corners of his mouth, "Let's go, dad will take you to the town, let's go eat and drink spicy food!"

The depressed expressions of the four siblings immediately turned into anticipation. They held hands and followed behind him. The five father and son came to the town together.

 Today is a big market, and there are so many people. All the shops on the street are open, and there are stalls selling various small items on the roadside. It is very lively.

Afraid that the child would get lost, Liu Ji took Sanlang and Siniang in his hands and asked his two older sons to walk in front of him and watch.

The so-called eating well is to buy a pen, ink and inkstone, walk through the streets of the town from beginning to end, and finally have a little money left, so one person buys a colorful rope.

 “Buy one for grandma too!” Si Niang dragged her father’s big hand, her buttocks dropped, and she wouldn’t leave if she didn’t buy it.

So, Qin Yao accompanied Miss Ding to catch a bucket of field fish on the farm and returned to the house, when she unexpectedly received a colorful braided rope handed over by Zhang Ba.

“Ms. Qin, your husband-in-law is quite fond of you.” Zhang Ba joked ambiguously.

Furthermore, he didn’t expect that the man from Madam Qin’s family was so handsome, and he seemed to be a scholar. When he asked him to hand over the colorful rope to Madam Qin, his words were all elegant.

Qin Yao didn't know how Zhang Ba could have such an outrageous idea, so she politely thanked him and took away the colorful rope.

A thin rope with five colors: red, yellow, white, green, and blue, represents the five elements, and has the best meaning of bringing blessings and removing evil spirits.

Qin Yao raised the colorful rope and held it in front of her eyes for a while. The corners of her mouth turned up unconsciously. She knew without guessing that the children must have chosen this for her.

 The rope is very long. Qin Yao wrapped it twice around her wrist. It looks good as a hand rope.

But when I returned to the house and saw the rice dumplings sent by Miss Ding, the corner of my mouth twitched.

That rice dumpling is also tied with a colorful rope. It cannot be said to have nothing to do with the one on her wrist, it can only be said to be exactly the same!

Qin Yao picked up the rice dumplings, untied the rope and leaves, and tasted the red date meat rice dumplings, but her heart flew to the small Liujia Village.

 It turns out that this is how it feels when someone misses you. There is a little bit of happiness and a little bit of hope.

 As a migrant worker, Qin Yao works very responsibly during working hours.

Even in addition to doing her job well, she also plays games with her employer.

However, after discovering that she could catch various small animals, Ms. Ding was no longer interested in role-playing games as a teacher.

 She began to look forward to going out, anywhere, to a farm, to the foot of a hillside, or to the woods.

Qin Yao can take her up trees and down rivers to catch fish. Occasionally, he can help her hunt small prey and come back for dinner in the evening.

 And the accompanying services provided by Qin Yao beyond these responsibilities are also paid.

Ms. Ding originally only allowed her to read in the study room, but now she can generously lend it to her and let her take it to her room to read.

Qin Yao took advantage of the three hours before going to bed at night to read as much as possible to understand all aspects of this era.

 As well as some scientific research experience and processes.

Miss Ding has the most say in this matter. After all, her father and brother are both imperial examination candidates. She saw that Qin Yao wanted her stepsons to study, so she did not hesitate to tell her a lot. At the same time, I felt a little envious when I saw Qin Yao's expression softening unconsciously when she mentioned her stepchildren.

 After this year, it will be three years since my mother passed away.

She had a hunch that her father would marry again, and to a woman who would be beneficial to his career.

She was a little scared, but after looking at Qin Yao, she felt a little hopeful. What if she was also a good mother?

 In late May, the cloudless sky changed.

It started to rain, usually in the morning and evening, and then cleared up at noon. The ground in the house became wet and dry, then dry and wet, which made people very depressed.

Qin Yao held the book and leaned against the window edge to read, her heart still.

Ms. Ding spread out a piece of white rice paper and stood at the desk with a pen ready to draw. However, the pen was stained with ink and could not be put down.

She tilted her head and didn't know what she was thinking. After a while, the brush came down, and with a few eloquent strokes, a woman leaning against the window reading appeared on the paper.

Qin Yao glanced at her and slightly curved her mouth, thinking she was painting herself.

 But when he looked again after a while, the facial features of the woman on the drawing paper had been outlined, and it was the face of a strange woman.

 “I don’t remember what my mother looked like.”

So I drew this lady who has the same body shape as Qin Yao, but her face looks like her ‘biological mother’.

Ms. Ding looked at the painting in annoyance, and then at Qin Yao, her eyes were like those of a discarded deer calf.

Qin Yao came over, put down the book in her hand, and opened her arms to her, "Come here, give her a hug."

She was surprised for a moment, then walked up to her cautiously, tentatively, and snuggled into her arms little by little. It was as warm as she imagined.

“Ms. Qin, dad sent a letter saying that he and his brother will be home soon.”

Ms. Ding leaned into her arms and asked tentatively: "Can you tell me where your home is? If I want to look for you anytime, I'm afraid I can't find you."

"Then you have to walk a long way. It takes an hour and a half to get from the town to my house."

"I can ride a horse." She said persistently, "Anyway, if I have nowhere to go, I will come to you and take my book as payment."

"Will you take me in?" She raised her head and asked expectantly.

 Qin Yao shook her head and answered firmly: "No."

 Her home is not a kindergarten, and children from any family can come.

What’s more, she can’t afford to offend Mr. Ding now.

The girl suddenly became angry and wanted to ask her why, but she felt that it was unnecessary to ask. Anyway, she said she couldn't, so she couldn't.

Qin Yao pushed her out of his arms and changed the subject, "How about I teach you how to ride a horse, Bao Jiaojie, you just need to lend me a few books to copy."

Just now the girl said that she could come to her house on horseback, but she herself had never even touched a horse.

Ms. Ding was really interested and asked curiously: "What book do you want?"

Qin Yao pointed to the "Book of Changes", "Book of Changes", "Book of Songs", "Book of Rites", and "Spring and Autumn" on the bookshelf, which happened to be the Five Classics among the Four Books and Five Classics.

Ms. Ding added with confidence, "Then you have to teach me archery and horse riding!"
