Stepmother in charge: Making a fortune through farming and raising her children to fight back

Xiao E ignored him and sat in the house by herself. The meal she had at Yun Zhenzhen's house today was the best meal she had eaten in the past year. Her stomach was still full and she couldn't stop savoring the food.

I picked up a piece of pine nuts fried by Yun Zhenzhen and put it in my mouth.

Um! ?

smell good!

Pine nuts are very common in the mountains. Some children pick them up and take them home as snacks. If you eat them plain, they are just okay and a little bitter. But I didn’t expect them to be so crispy and a little salty after being fried. I guess they have some salt in them.

On the other side, Old Zhang also distributed pine nuts to his coworkers, who ate them while walking on the way home.

Hmm~ Old Zhang smiled as he chewed and chewed. "How did you make this? It smells so good, so delicious. I've never tasted such fragrant pine nuts before."

"Oh my god!" The workers behind him also praised it after tasting it: "It tastes salty, it must be salt. It's also fragrant, I wonder what else is in it."

Then a few people threw a few more into their mouths and chewed them.

It smells so good! !

Several people followed Old Zhang to come here to work. They just felt that there was no other income at home after the autumn harvest, so they wanted to find something to do and came here reluctantly. But they didn't expect the host to be so generous. They were lucky enough to have meat for two meals a day, and they also had sweetened nuts. They missed this kind of life when they went home.

The workers all thought that they should build the house well to repay the owner for being so kind to them.

Some people eat a few to taste them and then can't bear to eat them anymore. They want to take them home to feed their wives and children, who will definitely like them too.

Finally, only one family member was left talking in the main room.

"When we finish building the house, winter will be approaching. Next spring, we'll hire someone to tidy up the wasteland we bought so we can develop other industries and buy an ox cart. That way, it will be much more convenient for us to go to town and go to school."

Yun Zhenzhen had considered buying a house in the town in the future, but Liuye Town was not big, so it would be better to save money and buy a property in the county later. Anyway, if she renovated the house now, her living conditions would be much better in the future.

"I have no objection." Qin Li was the first to express his opinion.

He deeply remembered the lesson his mother taught him: money is earned, not saved. After buying the ox cart, the time saved could be used to buy many more ox carts.

Besides, the money is earned by my mother, and she has the final say on how to spend it.

Others nodded.

"But..." Qin Li hesitated and said, "I don't need to study anymore. I want to learn business from you. I'm old now, and studying is a waste of money. I'll just let my younger brothers and sisters study."

"That won't work." Yun Zhenzhen disagreed with him. "Although you're old, it's always good to read more. Besides, if you don't read, learn to read, or learn arithmetic, you won't even know if you get cheated in business in the future."

Qin Li was speechless after hearing this.

Yun Zhenzhen said calmly, "Besides, learning to read and write is for the purpose of going further in the future. Compared to your future, spending this little money is nothing."

Qin Li also felt that what she said made sense, so he stopped refuting.

After the few people finished chatting, Yun Zhenzhen asked them to go to bed. Now that the family conditions have improved, the children no longer have to go hungry. They must adopt a healthy lifestyle and not only learn knowledge, but also keep up with physical fitness and moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor skills.

The first thing is to go to bed early and get up early.

I can't continue working at night. It's tiring and hurts my eyes.

Xiao Nan was bathed and smelled delicious. She rolled around on the bed with the quilt in her arms for several times. "Mom, are we going to bed so early now? We used to be busy working at this time."

"You used to go to bed late, so you are not tall. You are not even as tall as your second brother's shoulders. Don't you want to grow taller than your second brother quickly?" Yun Zhenzhen teased her with a smile.

"I want to." Qin Nan said and lay down in the corner obediently: "Wait until I grow taller quickly and protect my mother and brothers."

"Okay." Yun Zhenzhen chuckled and coaxed her to sleep.

But in my heart I was thinking about what to buy in town tomorrow. There was no pure milk in those days, so I could buy some cows and sheep to squeeze out goat milk for the children to drink to supplement their nutrition.

You can also go to the town and sell the recipe of pork offal to Boss Xu, and then just sit back and wait to get paid.

She no longer had to work from dawn to dusk, and all the household items were already in place. When the new house was built and she could decorate her own little room, Yun Zhenzhen felt more and more satisfied the more she thought about it.

……

Early the next morning.

Yun Zhenzhen heard a commotion outside the house before she got up.

When he opened the door, he saw that it was people from the old house coming. Old Mrs. Qin was walking in front, followed by Qin Shouren and Qin Shouyi.

"Third daughter-in-law!" Old Lady Qin spoke first when she saw her. "There hasn't been anything particularly busy at home lately. I brought my two children here to help you. Building a house is a big deal..."

Before she could finish her words, Old Lady Qin walked closer and saw that Yun Zhenzhen had not yet gotten up, and she immediately became a little angry.

"Come on, you're an adult now, and your family is building a house. How can you sleep in so late?"

Yun Zhenzhen looked up at the sky. The sun had just risen, around seven or eight in the morning. That's it? She was considered an early riser.

But since she was facing an old man after all, Yun Zhenzhen still said in a gentle voice: "I was very busy yesterday and a little tired. I'm going to sleep in today."

Hearing this, Old Lady Qin didn't hesitate any longer and walked into the house.

Old Zhang and his workers also came one after another. Since they were provided with two meals a day, everyone came early. No family in the village ate three meals a day.

In the kitchen, Qin Wen was boiling a large pot of hot water. He would add sugar and let it cool before giving it to the workers to drink.

This job is not tiring. You just sit in the kitchen, watch the fire, and when the water in the pot boils, pour it out to cool it down, and then add rock sugar.

Old Mrs. Qin looked left and right curiously.

Old Zhang and a few others were measuring data, while the other workers were helping to make adobe bricks and transport bricks.

Even Qin Nan, the youngest in the family, was helping to run errands, fetching things here and pointing the way there, without even having time to slack off.

Soon, some children and adults from the village came in to help make adobe bricks, and the girls helped wash vegetables and prepare lunch...

Old Mrs. Qin stood at the door and realized that Yun Zhenzhen had arranged everything in an orderly manner without any trouble. It must have taken a lot of effort.

I even had to nag her for sleeping in. Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
