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

Chapter 44: No Meat

Finally, the family of six worked together to stack the firewood again.

Qin Yao was mainly responsible for command, with the four children playing auxiliary roles. The main force Liu Ji gritted his teeth secretly, and his gums were almost swollen.

Perhaps because she realized that his resentment was too deep, Qin Yao did not add insult to injury and scold him.

By the time the firewood was piled up, it was already dark.

The cold wind was blowing. Qin Yao put the bow and arrow away and hung them up in the bedroom. She led the four children to the main room to wait for dinner.

By the way, he threw the sparrow meat back in Erlang's hand and called him over to teach him a lesson.

"You are not allowed to pick up your chopsticks before the adults in the family call for dinner. You are not allowed to eat a piece of food just because you are greedy before the food is ready."

"Don't eat secretly just because you are greedy."

"Of course, when only our family is here, we don't have to follow these rules, but in the future, if there are outsiders around, we must follow the rules. Do you understand?"

These words were not only said to Erlang, but also to the other three children.

At the previous warm-house feast, before the food was ready and served in the kitchen, Dalang and Erlang secretly took the twins to the kitchen and each stole a piece of meat.

The four of them seemed to be afraid of being discovered by the adults, so they did not rush into the kitchen at once. Instead, they lined up one by one, ate only one piece of food, and then ran out.

Since he was the host's child, the people helping in the kitchen couldn't say anything.

When the two sisters-in-law, Mrs. He and Mrs. Qiu, saw that the children were not following the rules, they each gave their own children a small piece of meat.

Jinbao, Jinhua, and Dalang and his four siblings, six children were all smiling happily.

When other children in the village saw this, they kept shouting with envy. Some parents couldn't bear it and slapped the children. The whole yard was filled with the crying of children.

He and Qiu immediately stopped saying anything, quietly cooked the dishes and served them on the table. Only when they had food did the crying stop.

Qin Yao witnessed the whole process at that time, and she thought that she must correct the bad habits of these four siblings afterwards.

Qin Yao didn't care what other people in the village thought of her child's behavior. Perhaps they thought it was nothing, after all, they were taking their own things.

But what if he still does this when he grows up, and what if the food he steals is not his own?

Erlang didn't take it seriously at first, but when he saw Qin Yao's expression become serious, he stood up straight with his little hands stiffly on his thighs. His little face unconsciously tensed up, and his two peach blossom eyes, like Liu Ji's, looked around in panic, unable to help feeling terrified.

Dalang and the twins were originally sitting, but they stood up unconsciously.

Sanlang was timid and afraid of being beaten, so tears had already welled up in his eyes.

Si Niang licked the corner of her mouth unconsciously, her heart was full of energy, and she was actually savoring the taste of the meat.

Dalang felt that he was the eldest brother and must set an example, so he stretched out his hand.

"Auntie, I was wrong. I shouldn't have secretly brought my younger brother and sister to the kitchen to eat. You can beat me. This is my fault alone. It has nothing to do with Erlang and the others."

Jiro was anxious, "Brother?"

It was clearly his idea. He was the one who dragged Sanlang and Si Niang to act pitiful, and the eldest brother took them to eat secretly out of pity.

Da Lang pushed his brother behind him and continued to look at Qin Yao and said, "Auntie, I won't dare to do this next time."

Qin Yao glanced at Erlang first, and her eyes clearly saw through the conspiracy between them.

Erlang felt guilty and wanted to tell everything, but he was afraid of being beaten, so he lowered his head and avoided her gaze.

The four children stood nervously in front of their stepmother, fear in their eyes.

Qin Yao was a little helpless, but her serious expression did not relax at all. She said in a deep voice:

"If you know your mistakes, you must correct them. As a punishment, you are not allowed to eat meat tonight. This will teach you a lesson."

Huh?

The four children were in disbelief, wondering if they had heard it wrongly.

Si Niang asked in confusion: "Aren't you going to be beaten, mother?"

"Do you want to be beaten?" Qin Yao raised her eyebrows and asked back.

Si Niang waved her hands quickly, shaking her head like a rattle, "No, no."

Qin Yao gently flicked the little girl's pigtails that she had braided herself, "I can't bear to hit such a cute girl."

"Isn't that right?"

Si Niang was stunned at first, then she reacted and asked in surprise: "Mother, you are not angry anymore?"

Seeing Qin Yao nodded and said that she had never been angry with them, the little girl immediately rushed over, nestled in Qin Yao's arms and said softly:

"Mother, Fourth Mother was wrong, I will never do that again~"

The tears that had been welling up in Sanlang's eyes could not flow out after all, and the child burst into laughter, looking a bit silly.

Dalang and Erlang looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Erlang thought about it, and finally plucked up the courage to speak up and say that it was his idea.

"I knew it a long time ago." Qin Yao said lightly.

He also said, "You will only confess if you are not beaten. If you are really beaten, will you not confess?"

"No!" Erlang wanted to refute, but his behavior just now was indeed like that, and he couldn't say anything to defend himself for a moment.

Seeing that another one was about to cry, Qin Yao waved her hand, "Don't do it again."

She picked it up high and put it down gently, which made Liu Ji, who had been hiding at the kitchen door and watching nervously, breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he was very afraid of this evil woman, if she dared to hit his child, he might rush out to protect him.

After all, he is tough as nails. If he gets beaten up by a few kids, it will be a lifelong problem.

Fortunately, no one got beaten and he didn't have to be beaten!

I didn't do any heavy work today, so white rice was too much of a luxury, so Liu Ji arranged for us to have white porridge for dinner.

Of course, if possible, he would like to have white rice every day, but people who have been hungry have a problem: they dare not eat when they have food, for fear that they will not have food in the future.

White porridge is also good, at least it can be eaten for a longer period of time than white rice and can prolong the satisfaction.

He also fried two other dishes to go with the rice.

If it were someone else's house, they wouldn't dare to cook every day, but after more than a month of observation, Liu Ji discovered that this evil woman at home liked to eat fried dishes the most.

As long as it suits her taste, she doesn't care how much oil he adds.

Then he became bolder.

When other people cook, they use a brush to brush a thin layer of oil on the wall of the pot, but he is different. He takes the oil can and directly scoops a spoonful of oil into the pot. The oil is sizzling, and even if someone doesn't know how to cook, the food will not be bad after just a few stir-frys.

Throw in a few cloves of garlic and sauté until fragrant, then add the vegetables, stir-fry over high heat for a few times, add salt and serve.

The highlight of tonight is sparrow meat. The meat may not look like much, but it is fried until crispy and crispy, then stir-fried with a handful of small dried peppers, a handful of onions, ginger, and garlic. It smells so good that your mouth will water.

These days, following Qin Yao, the food was good and they only had meat once every five days, so when Liu Ji saw meat dishes again, he was able to restrain himself and not show his face.

But today, when this small bowl of deep-fried spicy sparrow was served, he swallowed his saliva countless times.

Finally, the food and dishes were all laid out. Qin Yao picked up the chopsticks, and immediately six pairs of chopsticks appeared on the table and went straight to the small bowl of sparrow meat.

Liu Ji successfully picked up the largest piece of bird leg meat and put it in his mouth. It was fresh, fragrant and spicy, and all kinds of flavors exploded on the tip of his tongue.

Take a bite, it's crispy and crunchy, then take a mouthful of white porridge and swallow it all together, your eyes narrowed with satisfaction.
