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

Chapter 527: Look at the list

September has just arrived, and the government sent people to urge the grain tax.

 Fortunately, all the grain taxes in the village had been collected. The next day after Qin Yao received the order, he organized the young people in the village to deliver the grain to the county granary, successfully completing the tax collection task.

In this way, the busy autumn harvest is finally over, and Qin Yao, the village chief, can breathe a sigh of relief.

However, during this period, the government came and asked for more than a dozen corvees to go to the neighboring town to build river embankments.

This kind of corvee work in the county is already considered very good, because it is strenuous work, and the government will give each person four kilograms of food per day, so there is no need to bring your own food.

 It is a hardship for the family. Losing a strong labor force at such an important time as the autumn harvest will be a lot harder.

At this time, the villagers of Liujiacun will be happy to find that during this busy year in the village, they actually have enough money to hire part-time workers.

 All of this is due to the stationery factory.

 Watching the stationery factory that the whole village raised money to rebuild gradually taking shape, all the villagers in Liujia Village are looking forward to the great changes it will bring to the village after its completion.

 However, before the construction of the new factory was completed, another important construction project in the village had been completed first.

 The school has been built.

 Children have books to read.

On the day of the opening ceremony of the school, Qin Yao also brought over the award medal that she asked the blacksmith of Xiahe Village to make.

 One was given to each child in the village who actively helped the adults in school.

 Little Laifu got one. He loved it so much that he didn’t know what to do with it. He held it in the palm of his hand and was reluctant to take it with him. He looked at it happily.

That happy look made the four Dalang brothers and sisters jealous to death.

“Aniang, can we go back to the village to go to school next year?”

 Leaving the school and on their way home, Sanlang and Siniang asked expectantly.

 Children are not yet aware of the different teaching quality in different places. They think that the master is teaching and the students are all learning in the same way.

 Thinking of the tedious task of getting up early and running to school in the town every day, I naturally look forward to being able to go to school at home.

However, Qin Yao shook her head and said: "Dalang and Erlang have always been in Ding's main school, and there will be no change for you."

“As for you two little ones, it will be two years next year. If the Ding clan school is willing to accept other students into their own clan school, then I will let you stay regardless of the tuition fee.”

“If they don’t want others to study in their tribe, then I’ll find a way.”

 In short, stay if you can.

Dalang and Erlang quite agree. After all, they are several years older than their younger brothers and sisters. In addition, they have been staying with the children of the Ding family's main branch, so they can more or less distinguish the big difference between the main school and external schools.

 The external schools only teach some enlightenment, but the main school is very different. When the teacher comes, he rushes to let them take the exam for fame. Not only does he teach, he also teaches people, the world, and the situation in the officialdom.

Although it is far from being comparable to famous teachers like Gong Liangxiao, for students living in isolated counties, what the masters of the Ding family's main school said is the only source of information.

It’s a pity that the two little ones can’t think of that much.

　　When I heard my mother-in-law say that I couldn’t go to the village school, my shoulders immediately dropped, and I sighed as if I was wandering around. I swung my arms and walked home.

Qin Yao looked funny but helpless. She didn't say anything like "I'm doing this for your own good". She only told them the facts.

“Only by following the master of the Ding family can you take the imperial examination.”

Saburo was still unhappy. He had never thought about taking the imperial examination. He just wanted to sleep for one more hour every day.

However, Siniang's reaction was a little excited. She hurried back to A'niang, raised her head and asked, "A'niang, can I also take the imperial examination?" Participate in the imperial examination.”

 “What if I become a man?” Siniang asked immediately. However, when he asked the question, he frowned tightly and said firmly: "But I still like being a woman. Apart from my mother-in-law, I like myself the most!"

Qin Yao picked up the narcissistic little girl and walked away. She smiled and said, "Studying is not just for participating in the imperial examination. You can also get to know the bigger world, more things, and more people, right?"

Si Niang tilted her head and thought, yes, reading is still very interesting.

 “A’niang, then I will listen to you.” The little girl hugged A’niang’s neck affectionately and said seriously in her ear.

Qin Yao turned her head and kissed the pink cheek, "Baby, you're so good."

 “Aniang, what is treasure?”

 “Six Niang is my treasure.”

The three young boys who were following behind, trying hard to catch up with their mother who was walking so fast without realizing it, all paused when they heard the disgusting words coming from the front.

 Si Niang is a treasure, but what about them?

 Have you picked up all the co-authors? !

Heavy rain.

 However, no one was hiding under the wall outside Yingtianfu Yamen.

“Senior brother, the list has been released, are you sure you don’t want to go down and take a look?”

In a low-key and luxurious carriage on the roadside, Gong Liangliao and Qi Xianguan were calm and composed, except Liu Ji who seemed to be moving around like a monkey jumping up and down.

 Liu Ji felt that his character had been insulted by his junior brother!

"Okay, you are noble and noble, I will see for myself!" He turned around and was about to open the car door and jump out.

Qi Xianguan took a deep breath and reminded him: "It's raining heavily outside. Wouldn't it be better to wait in the car for Shitou and the others to come back?"

 Leaving a sentence of "I don't!", someone rushed into the heavy rain without hesitation.

A Wang, who was standing outside the car with a hat on his head and looking at the crowd, without any fluctuation in his heart, suddenly felt something flashing past him.

 Looking up alertly, oh, it’s the old man who gets mad every day, so it’s okay.

It rained heavily, and as soon as it came out, Liu Ji was soaked in water.

 He felt a little bit regretful, but no one behind him told him to go back!

 There is no other way, I have to finish climbing the road I chose.

 Besides, is it the same thing for others to see it and to see it with your own eyes?

Liu Ji couldn't imagine how cheerful he would be if he could see his name on the list with his own eyes.

 Of course, provided his name is on the list.

There should be some, right?

With 90% expectation and 10% anxiety, Liu Ji resolutely got into the crowd.

The bluestone floor that had been burned by the scorching sun for a long time was poured with cold rain, evaporating a stuffy and dry water vapor. Combined with the various smells of people, Liu Ji almost "yue".

Standed up suddenly, raised his head and took a breath. When he looked down, he was still as far away from the list as he was, and he couldn't squeeze in even if he died.

There was no other way. After holding on until this point, he already regretted his action of rushing out of the car, so he had to call urgently: "Awang! Awang!"

A gust of wind passed over his head, and Liu Ji successfully reached the bottom of the list. He was held up high by the expressionless Awang, standing out from the crowd.

This familiar gesture reminded Liu Ji of the beautiful memories he had with his wife in Fucheng last time.

 Stop, stop, look at the list first.
