There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 22

[Chapter 22, Food delivery]

“Mom, is daddy busy recently? I haven’t seen him much.” Daohua asked.

Mrs. Li put down the account book in her hand, and said solemnly: “The imperial court sent King Rui down to relieve the disaster, so your father has to get busy.”

Dao Hua wondered, “But isn’t the disaster in Linyi County not serious?” Those who should be busy Let’s get busy in hard-hit places.

Mrs. Li sighed: “It’s because it’s not serious that your father is busy. He is busy arranging those homeless refugees. According to Steward Sun, the refugees assigned to Linyi County have arrived one after another these days. The day is already so busy that you don’t touch the ground, you eat and drink in the county office in front, and you only go back to sleep in the backyard at night.”

Daohua was slightly surprised: “It seems that Daddy is very diligent in government and loves the people.”

Hearing that This, Mrs. Li showed a proud look on her face: “Yan’s family is a farming and studying family. Your father understands the suffering and difficulties of the people below. Since he took office, he has never cared about the affairs of the people.”

“Lin Yi The county is the third county where your father took office, and in the first two counties, when your father left, many people came to see them off, and every time my mother received several carts of fruits and vegetables.”

Hearing this, Daohua was really surprised: “Father loves the people so much, why did my grandmother and I meet the government servants who beat people?”

The smile on Mrs. Li’s face softened a little: “Is there any place without two or three rats ?” Shit? Your father has already punished those yamen servants, and if something hurts the people again, he will be beaten 30 times and kicked out of the county yamen.”

Daohua now feels much better about her father.

“Mother, since Dad is so good, why didn’t he get promoted?” Dao Hua asked the question in his heart.

Mrs. Li sighed: “I can’t tell you anything about the officialdom, although your father is a good official, but there is no one to help you, and our family doesn’t have enough money to take care of it, so this county magistrate has been appointed one after another. ”

“This time, your father is so busy, and he also wants to make some political achievements, to see if there is any possibility of promotion, even if he can’t be promoted, I hope this assessment can be assigned to a better county.”

Daohua: “Father wants to assess Already?”

Mrs. Li nodded: “All officials are tested once a year and once every three years. Those with outstanding achievements will be promoted. Linyi County is not rich. Although your father is diligent, he has not done anything. Political achievements.”

“During this assessment, your father said that unless there is someone above to help speak out, or the political achievements are outstanding, otherwise, the chance of promotion is not great.”

Daohua put her hands on her chin: “Our family really has nothing to do with each other?”

Mrs. Li’s eyes drooped: “It has something to do with it. Your fourth uncle is already a fourth-rank official in the capital. I heard that he has some friendship with the prefect of Zhongzhou, but our family has not had any contact with their family for some years.”

Daohua straightened up Body, surprised: “Why?” Fourth uncle, this relationship can definitely be regarded as very close.

Mrs. Li’s expression darkened: “Your fourth uncle’s family probably thinks that your father will be around the county magistrate for the rest of his life, so there is no value in continuing to be close friends. These years, your aunt has rarely contacted the family.”

Daohua nodded.

She does know this, she has heard it many times from her grandmother, and every time she looks melancholy.

“Can’t we take the initiative to contact my aunt?”

Hearing this, Mrs. Li touched Daohua’s head and sighed: “Silly boy, you don’t know that if a woman marries, if her mother’s family is not strong enough, her life at her husband’s house will be difficult.” It will be very sad.”

“Your uncle’s family is clearly looking down on our family now, and if we want to disturb your aunt, your aunt’s life will be even more difficult.”

“Three years ago, your aunt wrote to tell your father, Saying that your uncle has taken in a concubine, the words are very sad, but unfortunately, our family can’t support her.”

“When your aunt needed us, we couldn’t help her, so what can we do now?” Face to find her?”

Daohua didn’t know how to respond, and after a while, she asked, “Grandmother doesn’t know about this, right?”

Mrs. Li shook her head: “Your father didn’t dare to tell the old lady, because she was afraid that the old lady would be in a hurry.”

Then, Both mother and daughter were silent.

Suddenly, Daohua smiled and asked: “Mom, can I go to the front yard of the county government office to have a look?” She really wanted to see how the ancients worked, and by the way use the grain grown in the space to support her father. , and then contact contact feelings.

Mrs. Li was puzzled: “That’s where your father works, what are you going to do?”

Daohua: “Didn’t you say that your father eats in the front yard these days, I’ll bring him food.”

Mrs. Li thought for a while , felt that this could draw in the relationship between father and daughter, so she agreed, but said: “It’s okay to deliver food, but don’t interfere with other people’s work, you know?”

Daohua nodded immediately: “Mother, can my daughter do things properly Don’t worry, please rest assured.”

Mrs. Li smiled and turned to look at Ping Tong: “Take care of the eldest girl and don’t allow her to run around.”

Ping Tong smiled and promised: “Don’t worry, Madam, I will take good care of the eldest girl. ”

Soon, Daohua became busy.

County government kitchen.

Seeing Daohua approaching, the maidservants hurriedly stood up and saluted.

“Why are you here, Miss?” the kitchen manager, Mrs. Ren, smiled flatteringly.

“I want to send some food to dad, let me see what I can make.” Daohua wandered around the kitchen, looking carefully at the ingredients.

Granny Ren’s expression froze: “Miss wants to cook by herself?”

Daohua nodded, seeing that Granny Ren seemed a bit embarrassed, and said with a smile: “Mother Ren, I won’t mess up the kitchen, as for me, I just came to make soup. ”

I know her own cooking skills, and she dares to say that the food delivered is entirely based on the fact that the ingredients in the space taste better than the ingredients outside.

Hearing this, Granny Ren breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to praise Daohua for her filial piety with the other maids.

At this time, Ping Tong came over with a small bag of white noodles: “Girl, you want white noodles.”

Daohua nodded and motioned her to put it aside.

This white flour is produced by Space. When she was still in Yanjia Village, she put the white flour in other grains and asked her third uncle to send it over.

When she came, she took the white noodles to her room.

Ping Tong asked with a smile, “What are you going to do, girl?”

Dao Hua sorted out the ingredients, picked some shallots, a few eggs, and they were gone: “Kiu Tang!”

Ping Tong: “.” Sure enough There should be no expectations.

Seeing her speechless look, Daohua immediately said: “What kind of expression do you have? The pimple soup I made is delicious. Didn’t everyone say it was delicious last time?”

Ping Tong nodded on the face, but said in his heart.

That’s a kind word that people don’t want to touch your face.

Of course, this was because she hadn’t drunk it before, so she thought so.

Daohua didn’t care about other people’s opinions, and asked the maid to boil water, and then, under the dumbfounded gaze of the others, poured the egg liquid into the flour, stirred it a little, and poured it directly into the boiling water as soon as the water boiled.

Mrs. Ren, Pingtong and others:

It is the first time I have seen such a rough way of making soup.

Daohua said, there is space, self-willed!
