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

Early the next morning.

The sky was getting light. Winter had arrived and the days were getting later and later. Every time I got up, I had to fetch water in the dark to wash my face.

A basin of freezing cold water was poured on my face, and I woke up almost instantly.

In the past, she would get up slowly, boil water and then wash her face, but today was different. Qin Li, who had been away from home for a long time, should be back today.

She got up early and was busy in the kitchen. She had cooked a lot of rice and a few cold dishes, which together could fill up a whole table.

Not long after.

The guard knocked on the door, and without Yun Zhenzhen saying anything, Xiao Nan ran over and opened the door.

"Brother, you're finally back!"

She ran over and hugged Qin Li's trouser legs and acted coquettishly, and no one could stop her.

He put his finger on her little head: "Wait...wait, let me go take a shower first. It's been so many days since I last took a shower. It's so dirty. Don't you mind?"

"Hehe." Xiao Nan smiled and raised his head: "You are my big brother, I don't dislike you."

At this moment, Wang Ze also drove a carriage to the gate of the courtyard. He clapped his hands, and Lai Fu, who followed him, took out several large boxes of snacks from the carriage.

Qin Li is not planning to travel far this time. The raw materials he brought back in the past dozen times are enough to last through the winter. The road is difficult to travel on now, so he will wait until next spring before traveling far away.

Awen, who had just finished his morning class at school, saw this scene as soon as he came back and ran over with a smile.

A bunch of children were laughing and making noise in the yard. The house hadn't been so lively for a long time.

The next few times they went to Zang County, they found a shorter route. After they became familiar with it, it only took three or four days to go back and forth, but even a few days felt very long.

Yun Zhenzhen always felt reluctant, but she couldn't keep the children in cages all the time. She had to give them opportunities to exercise.

She couldn't help laughing. She had never lived past the age of thirty in both of her lives, but she acted like an old mother.

The family sat around the table, preparing to have lunch. Seeing the children's happy smiling faces, Yun Zhenzhen felt very relieved.

She is a person with no sense of security. Only when her children are around and she earns money and saves it, will she feel at ease.

Today, in order to welcome the child back, I prepared a very rich lunch. The staple food is potato rice. The staple food is paired with the staple food. It makes me feel very full as soon as I eat it. I eat a full meal at noon and I have energy to work all day.

There are still a lot of radishes left from the ones I dug a few days ago, and today is no exception. I made some pork ribs stewed with radish. After taking a bite of the ribs, my mouth was filled with the aroma of meat. Then I had a piece of juicy radish, and my stomach warmed up. Finally, I took a sip of the soup, and my whole body felt warm. It was really wonderful.

Served with appetizing spicy and sour pork offal, stir-fried greens, fried potatoes, and the braised pork belly that I tried making for the first time today, everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

Taking a bite of the snacks brought by Wang Ze from time to time, this kind of life is so beautiful.

At the same time, people were having today's brunch at the old house.

The children had just returned home and the house was bustling with activity.

Nowadays, the life of Lao Qin's family is very different from before. With several more people earning money, the family income has increased, and the living standard has also improved significantly.

The staple food is not as luxurious as Yun Zhenzhen's family. They eat white rice, but at least they can mix some of it and make some corn rice.

There were not many meat dishes on the table, but there was a soup made of radish and pork bones. Everyone drank a big bowl of it, which at least gave them a taste of meat, and everyone was very satisfied.

The rest were the most common small green vegetables, but today was a little different. Old Lady Qin rarely added a little oil to it, and then the whole dish looked very different. There were some oil splashes on it, and everyone was excited.

The table also contained the previously stewed fermented soybeans and the pig blood that Erya brought back from Yun Zhenzhen's house. She made a pot of pig blood soup with cabbage, and the whole family could have a delicious meal.

Even this is already considered a relatively good meal in the entire Qinjia Village.

Thanks to Yun Zhenzhen, almost everyone can now have enough food to eat. Although the nutrition is not as comprehensive and rich, at least they will not go hungry.

Chen stood at the door holding her own bowl, muttering to herself, "My nephew is back. Shouldn't we go over and join in the fun? Otherwise, others will say we're not related..."

Old Mrs. Qin saw her second daughter-in-law, who usually ate the fastest, standing at the door. She was about to come over to call her when she heard her say this.

"Don't think I don't know what's going on in your head every day. Just put that thought in your mind to rest."

Old Lady Qin said unhappily, "You just know that the eldest son will be back today, and the third son's wife will definitely prepare a lot of delicious food, so you just want to go over and get some meat, right? Isn't the good food at home enough to satisfy you?"

"Oh, mother, what you said is really unfair." Chen said with an embarrassed look on her face: "I was just thinking that since our two families have such a good relationship now, we should have a meal together to liven things up. I was also thinking about our family. How could you say that to me? It really hurts me, your daughter-in-law..."

Old Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes speechlessly.

The second son's wife has been married into their family for so many years, how could she not know what is in her mind? She can guess it with her toes.

Old Mrs. Qin didn't want to pay attention to her and was about to turn around and go back to the house to continue eating. At this moment, Yun Zhenzhen came with the boss, followed by Wang Ze and the other two.

Lai Fu was carrying a large package on his back, which contained all the things that the boss had brought back for everyone in the old house after his long journey, as well as some of the snacks that Wang Ze had brought.

Erdan was eating in the house. When he heard the noise, he rushed out: "Hey, Third Aunt, did you bring me something delicious? I can smell the fragrance from far away."

Don't look at his small age, he has a very sensitive nose. He can smell delicious food from a long distance away. He can even tell what other people's families have cooked for lunch just by smelling the aroma.

As he was about to come over to rummage through the package, he was grabbed by Old Lady Qin.

"You kid, what did your mother teach you? The guests haven't even come in and sit down to talk yet, why are you so impatient? If you continue like this, grandma will beat you up."

Chen pulled her son over distressedly, fearing that the old lady would continue to scold him: "Erdan has never seen so many delicious foods before. He is still a child, so young. We can teach him a lesson in the future. It's nothing serious."

"Besides, the person in front of him isn't a stranger. Isn't she his aunt? It's okay to be a little more friendly..."
