After becoming a stepmother,I transfered the whole family into farming

Chapter 167: Jade Tree and Wind

Of course it's not a coincidence.

Qin Yao went to Jinshi Town to install a water mill for Manager Wu.

Now that the last big order has been completed, only some small orders are left. The manufacturing plant is idle, and it happens to be the Chinese New Year, so they simply give the workers a New Year holiday.

However, whether there will be work after the New Year depends on the number of orders from the manufacturer. If there are not many orders, only a few experienced workers will be retained.

The workers didn't have any objections. After all, spring ploughing was important. They just hoped that the big guy wouldn't be forgotten when the water mill needed him.

This year, we can earn five months' wages right at home, and everyone is very happy.

In this way, Qin Yao and Carpenter Liu both had some free time.

After the workers delivered all of Manager Wu's orders, they went on holiday, and Qin Yao went to complete the subsequent installation in person.

There are only two sets left today, and she can finish them by herself in half a morning, so she spends the rest of the time waiting for Liu Ji.

When Liu Ji passed by Jinshi Town, Qin Yao happened to be entering the town to buy meat, so he didn't meet her.

Afterwards, Qin Yao followed him not far behind, observing him all the way, wondering how to kill him, where to kill him, and how to deal with the body after killing him.

After listening to Qin Yao's description, Liu Ji felt a chill down his spine. No wonder he always felt as if there was a pair of eyes staring at him sinisterly from behind on his way back.

He thought he was thinking too much, but he didn't expect that there was actually a pair of eyes staring at him. It was terrifying to think about it carefully!

Liu Ji shook his head, telling himself not to think about it anymore, and followed Qin Yao into the old house.

Thinking that he hadn't seen his family for so long and didn't know if they were thinking about him, he felt a little excited.

When I entered the yard, I realized something was wrong.

The sound of a baby crying came from the side room. Old Man Liu was sitting in the main room discussing with Liu Bo what name to give the baby.

Liu Zhong came out of the side room carrying a basin of steaming, smelly diapers.

Zhang was boiling water in the kitchen and called Liu Zhong to come in and get some hot water so that she could wash more cleanly.

He's irritable voice came from the side room, "Oh my God, which baby cries as much as you? If you keep crying like this, your mother won't be able to sit still during the confinement period."

The voices of Jinbao and Jinhua also came from the side room. One of them said, "Mom, let me hug you. I'll hug you gently."

Another said: "Don't cry, little brother. If you cry again, we won't play with you anymore!"

When everyone in the courtyard saw Qin Yao and Liu Ji walk in together, they were just a little surprised, and then they went about their own business and had no time to care about him.

Anyway, they knew half a month ago that the person had returned alive.

Liu Ji bravely tugged at the corner of Qin Yao's clothes and asked, "My second sister-in-law gave birth?"

Qin Yao glanced at him and Liu Ji quickly retracted his hand.

"It was born on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. It's a boy." After saying that, Qin Yao carried the meat into the kitchen.

Zhang was surprised and asked, "Why did you bring meat back again, Third Brother? We still have some left at home. We just bought a pig together a few days ago and slaughtered it. We still have some left at home."

Qin Yao put the meat down directly. "That's different. This is fresh. It will be sweeter and more nutritious when cooked into porridge or soup. It will be easier for my second sister-in-law to absorb."

Although Qin Yao always says some strange words, everyone can understand her meaning.

Liu Zhong, who was washing diapers, turned around and expressed gratitude, thanking Qin Yao for still thinking about Qiu.

The crying in the side room finally stopped. He returned the child to his mother and dragged Jinbao, who refused to leave the room, out.

The mother and daughter were stunned when they saw Liu Ji standing in the yard, wondering whose man this was. He looked a little strange.

After taking a closer look, Jin Bao exclaimed, "Mom, it's my third uncle who's back!"

He let out a surprised cry, politely invited him to sit inside, and then went to the vegetable garden with her basket to pick vegetables.

She had a feeling that they would have to eat at the old house tonight.

Sure enough, Old Man Liu and Mrs. Zhang asked Qin Yao to stay, and instructed Liu Ji to bring the four children over to have a reunion dinner together at the old house. On New Year's Day, everyone held their own reunion dinner.

Liu Ji then felt a little more present and asked Qin Yao if she had anything she wanted to take home so he could leave it at home first.

Qin Yao pointed outside the door and said, "Take Old Huang away. I'll go see the baby."

Newborn babies are the cutest, bubbling with milk, so tiny that you can't get enough of looking at them.

Except when crying, of course.

But she didn't need to comfort him if he cried, so what was she afraid of?

Qin Yao washed her hands and entered Qiu's room expectantly.

Liu Ji took his luggage, held Lao Huang's hand, and went home alone.

Dalang and his two siblings had heard the noise a long time ago. As soon as Liu Ji reached the water mill, the four siblings came up to him excitedly.

Dalang asked, "Dad, did Aunt Yao ask you to come back?"

Erlang asked, "Where are my copper coins?"

Sanlang and Si Niang held their father's hands expectantly, "Dad, did you bring us some candied haws?"

Liu Ji felt so cold in his heart that no one cared whether he suffered or was sick.

He shook off the twins' hands and said unhappily, "You still want to eat candied haws? Your father almost couldn't come back!"

However, facing Erlang's face asking for the debt, he was a little lacking in confidence, and spread his hands, "Not a penny left."

Afraid that Erlang would get angry, he quickly comforted him, "Dad is a man of integrity. I promised to lend it to you, and I will definitely return it to you when I become rich in the future. Be a real man, be generous, and don't always stare at this little copper."

He had said all the good and bad things, and Erlang could only glare at him angrily.

Finally, his eyes fell on Dalang, who was faintly worried, and he smiled sadly, "After all, your stepmother can't let go of such a handsome man like me, don't worry."

Liu Laosan will not die!

The four brothers and sisters of Dalang looked Liu Ji from head to toe. His beard was untidy, his clothes were tattered, and his shoes were open-toed. The only thing left on him was his clean face.

So, Dad, you call this a handsome man?

But no matter what, Liu Ji can go home, and the four brothers and sisters are still very happy.

I was even happier knowing that we were going to the old house for dinner in the evening!

Although the food Qin Yao cooked was edible, it was not delicious and was not as good as that of Dalang and Erlang.

But the two brothers were still a little young, and they were far inferior to He who held a big spoon in tossing the pot and the spoon.

Therefore, every time they could go to the old house to eat, it was like going to a banquet for the four brothers and sisters.

Not to mention them, even Qin Yao herself was looking forward to everyone in the old house taking the initiative to invite them to dinner so as to improve the food.

Thinking of this, Qin Yao suddenly felt that there was some benefit in Liu Ji's return. At least she didn't have to go to the old house for free meals anymore.

After getting himself ready and feeding the horse that almost trampled him to death, Liu Ji led his four children to the old house in high spirits.

The whole family, young and old, sat together in the main hall of the old house, it was as lively as if it were New Year's Day.

Liu Ji spoke less, but when he opened his mouth, he was still as mean as ever. He either made a sarcastic remark or tried to sow discord between couples.

When they found that Liu Fei had started to look at women, they directed all their firepower on him, making Liu Fei so embarrassed that he rolled up his sleeves and prepared to fight him.
