MTL - After Dressing Up As a Stepmother, I Transformed the Whole Family Into Working In the Fields-Chapter 505 Also longing for power
It rains in June at any time, and while people are still working in the fields, the clear sky suddenly becomes covered with dark clouds.
The heavy rain poured down on her head. Qin Yao, who was weeding in the vegetable field, was caught off guard and got wet. She quickly dropped her sickle and ran home.
The two newly built brick houses in the backyard have been roofed and covered with tiles, and the workers completed the work and left yesterday evening.
The big raindrops pattered on the newly built green tiles, and then fell in lines along the eaves.
Mr. Li sent a dry cloth, took a look at the new house in the backyard, and said jokingly: "This rain comes at the right time, just right to test the bricklayer's skills."
Qin Yao took the handkerchief and wiped the rain off her head and shoulders. She asked Li to wait for the rain to stop and check if there was any leakage in the newly built house. Then she returned to the bedroom and took advantage of the rain to lie down for a while.
This work in the vegetable field is considered the easiest, but for Qin Yao, it is only a little better than farming.
It's a pity that she promised Awang to take good care of his vegetable plot and be honest. She had to bite the bullet if she didn't want to.
However, with Qin Yao's level of cooking, even Li, who has never worked in the field, can't stand it.
Fortunately, the vegetables in those few acres of vegetable fields are tenacious and can grow a little taller than the grass. There will be no problem in holding on until Butler Awang returns.
Liu Zhong came back from the county this morning and brought back a letter sent by Liu Ji from Fucheng.
Qin Yao had just sent the children to school at that time, and when she came back, she was busy cleaning up Awang's precious vegetable patch, so she didn't have time to look at it.
Anyway, the letter came through, which meant that both of them were fine.
Now that she was free and it was past nap time, Qin Yao took the letter in her hand and lay on the bed, listening to the sound of raindrops outside the window while reading the letter.
The content of the letter was unexpectedly concise. Liu Ji only said that the two of them had successfully arrived in Fucheng and met up with Qi Xianguan and others. Everything went well, so she could rest assured.
The letter was written by Liu Ji, but there was a darker water mark on the corner of the envelope.
Qin Yao raised her eyebrows, thinking of something, stood up and went to the candlestick, lit the candle, and put the envelope over the flame to bake.
Soon, a line of black writing appeared.
It is Awang's handwriting, which reads: Everything goes well, and there are no eyeliners following.
etc!
There is one more sentence.
【Madam, please remember to fertilize cucumber seedlings once a month, as too much fertilizer will damage the seedlings. 】
“Hiss~” Qin Yao took a deep breath and looked towards the backyard vegetable patch. She had watered it twice in the past half month. What should she do?
Salad!
Qin Yao pretended that nothing happened, collected the letters and envelopes, put them in a drawer and locked them.
The heavy rain came and went away quickly. The rain has stopped. Roll up your sleeves and continue hoeing.
She said, why did the grass in the vegetable field grow so fast? It turned out that it got fertilizer from the vegetable seedlings.
She has to go to town to pick up the children soon, and there is not much time left for her to mow the grass.
Qin Yao swung the sickle vigorously, and he didn't know whether there were more innocent vegetable seedlings or more weeds in the weeds piled at his feet.
The sun shines down again, scorching the rain on the ground, and a unique rustic smell spreads in the air.
The canteen of the stationery factory has finished work. Yin Le took a deep breath of air. She liked the earthy smell after the rain, which gave her a special feeling of peace of mind.
Taking two big breaths of this air, Yin Le put on his old clothes and walked towards the Banpo courtyard on the other side of the river.
At the bridge, I unexpectedly saw an unfamiliar figure.
“Liu Yang?” Yin Le shouted uncertainly.
Liu Yang, who was holding something in his hand, turned around and saw that it was Yin Le, and nodded to her slightly embarrassed. "Are you going to Master's house too?" Yin Le asked curiously.
Liu Yang nodded, raised the notebook in his hand, "Yes, tell the village chief something."
Yin Le motioned for the two of them to go together.
Liu Yang asked her to go first. He was almost fifty meters behind and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Yin Le looked back at him and felt that this man was as stunned as a piece of wood. He was too lazy to be polite to him. He quickly rushed to his master's house, said hello to Mrs. Li in the courtyard, and spontaneously went to the wood shed to start chopping firewood today. Work.
After she had chopped several sticks of firewood, Liu Yang came to the door, knocked on the door, and asked loudly: "Is the village chief at home?"
Mrs. Li, who was drying her clothes, quickly put down her work and came out. When she saw it was Liu Yang, she asked him to sit in the hall and said:
“Madam went to the town to pick up the young master and the others, but she will be back soon. If it’s not urgent, I’ll make a cup of tea. Can you wait here?”
Liu Yang nodded and found a seat in the main room uncomfortably to sit down and wait.
Li brought herbal tea and a plate of snacks, then left and continued working.
The courtyard was very quiet, and the sound of chopping firewood was particularly clear. Liu Yang looked curiously at the place where the sound came from. The firewood shed was half blocked by the kitchen room. He could only see a pair of women with their sleeves rolled up high, revealing two white arms. The hand was holding an axe, raised it high, and then struck it down hard!
The exertion made the muscles on the two fair arms tighten instantly, showing a surging sense of strength.
Liu Yang picked up the teacup and swallowed a sip of tea, and suddenly an old saying came to mind - a person cannot be judged by his appearance, and the sea water cannot be measured.
The sound of chopping wood in the woodshed lasted for a full two-quarters of an hour before it stopped.
Yin Le put down the axe, looked at the shadows of trees on the wall and estimated the time he spent today.
Smiled in surprise, "It's half a stick of incense faster than yesterday!"
Clap your hands, inform Mrs. Li, and stride towards the main room.
There was a teapot on the table. He picked up the teapot and filled it with water. He drank a large amount of water from the bowl, wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, and ran out the door with a smile.
There is still five kilometers of jogging left, so I will try to get dinner on the table today.
Liu Yang sat silently by the door of the main room the whole time. It wasn't until the figure ran out with a smile that he finally regained consciousness.
He frowned a little strangely and asked Li: "What is she going to do?"
"Ah?" Mrs. Li, who was busy steaming steamed buns, didn't realize who he was asking. Seeing Liu Yang pointing to the door, he smiled brightly, "Oh, Miss Le, she went out for a run. As long as it doesn't rain, we can do it five times a day." "
“What?” Five miles away? Liu Yang thought of her small body, "Can she still run five miles?"
Mrs. Li said with a smile: "What's the point? If I practice every day, I can run. It's a pity that Madam no longer accepts apprentices."
Ms. Li sighed regretfully. If she had been ten years younger, even if her wife said she would no longer accept apprentices, she would still give it a try.
Sensing the envy in Li's tone, Liu Yang was stunned for a long time. It turned out that both men and women yearned for power equally.
He thought they only liked to embroider, cook, do housework and take care of children, but now it seems that he is being narrow-minded.
It’s no wonder that his father kept asking him to learn more from the village chief.
The sound of a carriage was heard at the entrance of the courtyard. Mrs. Li looked over and said happily: "It's the madam who's back!"
Liu Yang hurriedly stood up to greet Qin Yao. After Qin Yao had settled the carriage and horses, he immediately handed over the book in his hand.
“Village Chief, the tasks you assigned me have been completed. I have recorded the household registration information of the migrant workers in this book.”
