MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 45 Don't be too outrageous, kid
Chapter 45 Don’t be too outrageous, kid
After Liu Ji enjoyed this delicious mouthful of human food, he opened his eyes and saw four children holding white porridge, watching him swallowing saliva eagerly.
Oh, I almost forgot. Their stepmother ordered them not to eat meat tonight. Qin Yao slapped all the chopsticks that they had just stretched out, and they were only allowed to eat vegetables.
Liu Ji gave a sympathetic "tsk tsk~" twice and started eating his dinner happily.
A small bowl of sparrow meat, which he had just thought would be unpalatable for so many people to eat together, but who would have thought that it would be shared between him and Qin Yao, an evil woman.
Half a bowl for one person is enough. He is not greedy. Liu Jim thought happily.
Qin Yao also felt that today's dishes were particularly fragrant, bite after bite, so delicious that she felt like she was back before the end of the world, when she went home for the winter vacation from college.
Mom and dad cooked a table full of her favorite dishes, which were delicious and delicious.
Since then, it has become a luxury to want to eat stir-fried vegetables.
The four Dalang brothers and sisters drank thick white porridge and nibbled on crispy vegetables. This was already a good meal, but it was tasteless.
Erlang thought in his heart that it was all because the stepmother had eaten so well that they found the white porridge with vegetables tasteless. They were just like the young masters of a landowner's family who were not satisfied with eating dragon meat.
Facing four pairs of eyes that were as bright as light bulbs and full of longing, Liu Ji didn't have any conscience and wanted to give each of them a small piece to taste.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it be a pity that it was a rare occasion when his cooking skills were so good but no one knew about it?
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took out a piece of meat, Qin Yao's cold eyes glanced at him.
“You don’t want to eat it, do you?”
She stretched out the bowl in front of him and said, "If you don't want to eat, give it to me."
With that said, with a few chopsticks, he put all the five pieces of sparrow meat left in Liu Ji's bowl into his own bowl, one bite at a time, it was so delicious.
Liu Ji suddenly glanced at the four children angrily, "Look, dad doesn't have to eat either."
The four brothers and sister bit their chopsticks, the expectation in their eyes completely extinguished.
Saburo and Si Niang were so greedy that they cried. The two little crybabies shed tears and choked with sobs as they drank porridge and vegetables. They knew that they were punished because they made mistakes, so they did not dare to cry out.
Liu Jitieshi felt a little unbearable after seeing it.
He raised his head to look at Qin Yao. He ate so deliciously that a small pile of bones was quickly piled in front of him. After finishing three large bowls of white porridge, he put down his bowl and chopsticks with satisfaction.
Erlang couldn't hold it back any longer, so he weakly asked, "Auntie, can I take a bite of the remaining bones?"
Qin Yao stared, I said Liu Erlang, you kid, don’t be too outrageous!
"No!" Qin Yao swept all the bones into a bowl, handed them to Liu Ji, and asked him to take them to the kitchen to light the fire.
Erlang watched helplessly as all the bones entered the stove hole, then he said "oh" and gave up the idea.
But the good thing is that Qin Yao and Liu Ji have already eaten all the meat, so they can't see it, so they don't feel so uncomfortable.
The four brothers and sisters finished their dinner one after another and were resurrected with full health. They were playing their own little games in the main room.
Qin Yao waited for Liu Ji to come back after washing the dishes and tidying up the stove, then said:
“On the way back today, I heard someone said that the county government office will sell cattle on the 15th. I want to buy a piece of beef tendon, and by the way, I have all the New Year’s goods and charcoal. Let’s go to the city together. You get up early that day.”
“Going to the city?” Liu Ji was pleasantly surprised and responded quickly: “Okay, okay.”
He loves going to the city the most!
The four chirping children next to them fell silent.
Dalang asked curiously: "Dad, is the county seat far away?"
Erlang also asked: "Dad, is the county town fun?" Liu Ji replied: "Of course it is far. It takes more than two hours to walk from our village to the county town. We have to leave before dawn."
“But there are so many interesting things in the county, including restaurants, gambling houses, and Rouge Houses.”
Erlang asked excitedly: "Dad, what is Rouge House? Does it sell rouge? Have you been there?"
Liu Ji couldn't help laughing when he heard his son's words, "Silly boy, Rouge House definitely doesn't sell rouge, they all sell meat."
The words stopped suddenly, and Liu Ji suddenly realized that he was about to say something inappropriate for children. He hurriedly coughed twice and stopped talking:
“It’s nothing, there’s nothing interesting in the county.”
But it obviously sounds very fun. Dalang thought doubtfully.
Erlang didn’t wait for the answer, so he asked again: “Dad, have you ever been to Rouge House to buy meat?”
Liu Ji glanced at Qin Yao hurriedly, waved his hand to signal his son to shut up and stop asking, turned around and said he was going to the kitchen to boil water.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yao also asked with great interest: "Have you been there or not?"
“You must have never been there.” Liu Ji lowered his head and shook his empty sleeves. He would be kicked out by his mother just sitting at the door.
The four Dalang brothers and sisters are still full of beautiful fantasies about this Rouge Building. They think that when they grow up and can go to the city, they must go and visit it.
Although I was very eager to go to the county town together, I knew that my short legs would definitely hinder me, so I didn’t say anything to the sensible people. I just chased after Liu Ji and asked him what was in the city.
Qin Yao seriously considered whether the whole family should go to the city together?
Kaiyang County is actually not very big, with a permanent population of only two to three thousand people. But considering the current total population of Shengguo, which is 60 million, it is already a very big place.
Before the prosperity of the country, troubled times lasted for decades. Years of wars led to a sharp decline in the population. Now it has just begun to recuperate. When walking on the road, you will rarely encounter people.
The day Qin Yao arrived in Kaiyang County, she saw the most people in the city since she came here.
There are many people in the village who have never left the village in their lives. For most of them, the farthest place is Fucheng.
This is the only reason why people migrated such a long way to survive when they were fleeing war.
Thinking about it this way, for four children who have never left a small mountain village, entering the city may have a different meaning.
If you can’t walk, you can take a bullock cart.
It’s also good to let children see the world.
Thinking this way, after the father and son came back from washing up in the shower room, Qin Yao said:
“Liu Ji, go and borrow the ox cart from the village chief. On the 15th, our whole family will go to the city together and take Dalang and the others to see the city.”
When the four brothers and sisters heard this, they were shocked with great joy and were stunned on the spot.
Liu Ji also paused for two seconds before reacting. He was a little surprised that Qin Yao would make such a decision.
It was rare for a carefree person to restrain himself. He took a deep look at her and then agreed.
The children were so happy that they didn't want to sleep all night. They crowded on the same bed and whispered about their various imaginations about the county.
Finally, the four brothers and sister settled on the idea. When they arrived at the county town, they used the copper coins they dug out from their father's hands to buy a bunch of candied haws and eat them together.
Let’s see if the candied haws on a stick is as delicious as Liu Jinbao said.
Si Niang made a special request, "I want to leave one for my mother-in-law, who took us to the city."
The implication is that one must not forget to thank the ‘benefactor’.
The three elder brothers fully agreed, and the four brothers and sisters reached a consensus. They waited until early in the morning, when the excitement passed, and then fell asleep.
