MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 27 Dutiful son

Chapter 27 The Dutiful Son

 After dinner, Liu Zhong sent the four Dalang brothers and sisters back and took a look at Liu Ji's condition.

Seeing that he was covered with a brand new quilt and drank thick white rice porridge, I suddenly felt that my worries were in vain.

Did Lao San save the life of a deity in his last life? How could someone still give him good food and drink?

 Looking at Liu Ji's moaning and groaning look again, Liu Zhong felt itchy with hatred.

It's really annoying to compare people to each other!

When he came outside the house, he told Qin Yao in a good voice that if anyone needed help, just come to the old house to find them, and then went home.

 The four elder men brought back a full bowl of vegetables, half of which was filled with meat.

After putting down the vegetables, Dalang went into the room and took a look at his father. When he saw that he was still breathing, he came out.

Four little carrot heads surrounded Qin Yao and squatted in front of her, asking her who she went to the mountain to fight, where she went, and whether the meat smelled good.

Seeing Qin Yao sticking the rice grains to the corner of her mouth, Siniang immediately stretched out her soft little hands to help her take the rice grains off. Her eyes were bright and she could only look at A Niang.

Liu Ji in the room waited and waited, but did not wait until Erlang, Sanlang, and Siniang came in to take a look at him.

Hearing the intimate voices of the four siblings and Qin Yao coming from outside the house again, Liu Ji's eyes widened and he couldn't believe it. In just a few days, Qin Yao's heart had completely won over her.

Possibly injured or out of breath, with chest tightness, shortness of breath and dizziness, Liu Ji fell into a drowsy sleep.

 When I woke up, it was already bright and my bladder exploded.

 Liu Ji weakly shouted: "Da Lang, Da Lang."

The door of the house opened with a creak from the outside, and four small figures walked in like candied haws on a stick.

 The dazzling sunlight shines into the house, bringing light to the dark room.

 Seeing these four newly dressed children, Liu Ji almost didn't recognize them.

Last night, Qin Yao boiled several large pots of hot water, washed the brothers and sisters from head to toe, and then put on the old clothes she bought.

Although the clothes and shoes are old, they have been washed and starched before being sold, and there is still a faint fragrance of soap locust on the clothes.

Qin Yao gave each of them a hair tie to tie their hair for the four siblings. He also made two special braids for Siniang, which hung down on both sides of her head. They looked cute and playful.

Liu Ji could tell that the clothes and shoes worn by the four siblings were a bit big, but they were also made of thick cotton, which was much better than the tattered linen clothes before.

Dalang stepped forward and picked up the urinal placed under the bed, "Dad, do you want to pee?"

 Liu Ji suppressed the envy in his heart and nodded.

The elder man asked Siniang to go out and helped Liu Ji get out of bed and release him.

 Liu Ji felt comfortable and lay back on the bed.

Dalang took the urinal and went to the **** of the back room to empty it. He came back to scoop out water and wash his hands with the urinal. After cleaning it, he took it back to the house and placed it neatly under the bed.

　　When has Liu Ji ever seen such a particular child in his family?

　　In the past, when the mucus came to your mouth, you could just lick it with your tongue, but now you have to wash your hands when you help your father fill a urinal?

 “Where is your stepmother?” Liu Ji asked tentatively. Until now when he woke up, he hadn't heard anything about the evil woman, and he didn't know where she had gone.

Dalang opened the door completely, letting in the fresh air and sunlight, and replied, "I'm going to Xiahe Village."

 “Where are you going? How long have you been there?”

"I don't know." Dalang shook his head and said uncertainly: "I went there early in the morning, it should have been an hour."

 Liu Ji looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar room in front of him.

He didn’t see much clearly when it was dark yesterday, but now he realized that his home had changed.

Six grain bags were stacked under the wall at the head of the bed. There was a low table on the open space at the end of the bed. There were a bunch of bowls neatly stacked on the table. Although it was still the same shabby hut, the objects were all clean and there were no strange things. It smells like rice.

Liu Ji touched his stomach, and Dalang immediately asked, "Dad, are you hungry?" Liu Ji nodded wildly, remembering the white rice porridge he had eaten last night, and couldn't help but swallow.

Dalang asked him to wait, walked out of the door, came to the stove, took out the meat porridge that was warm on the stove, and brought it to Liu Ji.

Liu Ji already felt that yesterday's white rice porridge had added sugar, which made him feel very luxurious. Unexpectedly, there were minced meat in today's porridge.

"Oh my God! How are you ladies living? Qin Yao, a prodigal woman, can do whatever she wants with a little money, but she doesn't know how to save money."

Liu Ji complained and sat up against the wall. He reached out to take the bowl happily, but when he looked up, he found four Dalang brothers and sisters standing on the bed, looking at him with faint eyes.

Si Niang said angrily: "Dad, I want to tell my mother that you said bad things about her!"

Saburo was his sister’s follower and shouted: “Tell Auntie!”

Liu Ji immediately saw the cold look of Qin Yao holding the knife on Lin Erbao's neck. He trembled all over and said hurriedly:

“Don’t, don’t, don’t! Dad is joking. Sanlang and Si Niang are obedient, but they don’t dare to tell your stepmother, otherwise dad will not survive.”

  Sanlang and Siniang were afraid that their father would not survive if they told him, so they nodded their heads.

Erlang glanced at his father, knowing how to scare children. He remembered the meat porridge his stepmother had given him in the morning and licked his mouth. He hadn't eaten enough yet, so he tugged at the corner of his eldest brother's clothes.

Dalang saw his younger brothers and sisters staring at the bowls of porridge with greedy expressions. His heart softened and he called to them, "Take another sip for each of them. Only one sip is allowed. Auntie said that if you eat too much, your stomach will bloate, so you can't be greedy."

Since then, Liu Ji was dumbfounded as he watched the three filial sons of Erlang get together, each of them took a mouthful of meat porridge, and drank only half of the bowl before passing it to him.

Dalang said with a respectful look: "Dad, please drink slowly."

 Liu Ji's lips trembled with anger and he was speechless for a moment.

But as soon as I rolled my eyes, my idea came to me again.

Taking the porridge bowl, he devoured it and licked the bottom of the bowl. He threw the empty bowl to Dalang and waved to the four brothers and sisters to gather around. He looked like his father felt sorry for you and asked with concern:

"Dad is not at home these days, has it made you suffer? If you have any grievances, tell dad. When dad gets better, I will make the decision for you."

Erlang shook his head, not knowing what euphemism meant, so he said directly: "No."

Saburo held his sister's hand in confusion, and the brother and sister also said loudly and seriously: "Follow the stepmother and you will have meat to eat."

Dalang glanced at his father's petrified expression, turned his head, raised the corners of his mouth, but quickly suppressed it, turned around with a serious expression, waved his hand, and drove his younger brothers and sisters out.

“Dad, you need to change the dressing.” Dalang reminded.

 Liu Ji covered his injured heart and looked at Dalang with relief as he mixed the herbs for him, and said with emotion:

“Son, daddy knows that you are the most filial person.”

Dalang didn't respond. He mixed the medicine powder with water and made a paste. He climbed into bed and helped his father take the medicine off his face.

After finishing, I took a small bench and sat at the gate, watching my younger brothers and sisters play with stones.

 Liu Ji couldn't help but be curious, "Dalang, why are you sitting at the door? Come in and talk to dad."

“No, aunt told us to take good care of our home.”

 Looking after the house?

 Liu Ji snorted, what's so good about this shabby house?

Oh no, that evil woman brought back so much food and valuables, she had to keep a close eye on them to avoid being stolen.

 We are all one family, and he also has a share of these things.

“Yes, you need to watch it carefully.” Liu Ji agreed.

Dalang glanced at his biological father and saw that he was quite peaceful. He looked towards the road by the river and stayed at home, waiting for his stepmother to come back.
