There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 3

[Chapter 3, no one can surpass]

Yan Family Village.

The Yan Family Courtyard.

Daohua sat in the main room, carefully recording this year’s harvest.

Old Madam Yan sat aside and looked at her lovingly. Seeing her granddaughter recording the harvest clearly, she couldn’t help but feel more satisfied and proud on her face.

She knew that the people in the village said in private that she was eccentric and didn’t hurt her grandson, but she hurt a little girl to the bone.

But those people didn’t look at it either, her Daohua was so rare.

Not only does he look good, but he is also very Wangjia.

As soon as she was born, her eldest son, who failed the exam twice in a row, won the exam. In the second year, he won the gold list, won the top three and Jinshi, and was appointed as the seventh-rank county magistrate.

After that, his family, which can only be regarded as a middle-class family in Yanjia Village, began to get better every year, and gradually prospered.

In addition to these, that girl is also very heart-warming, so warm that people’s hearts almost melt.

The child’s father died early, and she was widowed at a young age. In order to raise the older four children, she had to work day and night.

When the eldest son was appointed as the county magistrate, she felt that she could explain to the child’s father, and the tension that had been suppressed in her heart suddenly relaxed, and then her body failed.

Since then, she has been unable to do heavy work, and she is usually out of breath, with constant soup and medicine.

When the eldest son took office, Dao Hua was left behind in his hometown. One was that his granddaughter was too young to travel long distances; the other was that Dao Hua was so tender and well-behaved. Seeing that he liked it, the eldest son specially left Dao Hua to relieve her boredom. amused.

When this girl was five years old, she heard the news from nowhere that a monk from a mountain temple more than a dozen miles away could cure her illness, so she secretly followed the temple drivers from the village to ask for medicine.

The dog days of the sun scorching adults, adults will feel pain, let alone such a small person.

When she saw Daohua, ran for dozens of miles, and stumbled back with the medicine she begged for, her heart was never so soft.

It’s strange to say that since then, her body has been getting better day by day, and now when she goes out, who doesn’t say that she is in good health and spirit? Even ordinary young women may not be able to outrun her.

This girl is her lucky star.

“Grandma, will the harvest of our 200-odd acres be sent to Linyi County?” Daohua looked up at Mrs. Yan after calculating this year’s harvest.

Linyi County is the county where her father took office.

The old lady Yan nodded: “Many prefectures in the north suffered from drought last year. Linyi County is to the north. Although there was no severe drought, the harvest was not very good. We sent the grain there, some of which were kept for home use, and some You can exchange some money.”

Daohua sighed, pretending to be old-fashioned: “It seems that my father’s life is not easy.”

Natural disasters and the like, even in modern times, are not so easy to prevent.

Mrs. Yan: “I know your father is not easy. When you arrive in Linyi County, you have to get close to your father.” The

granddaughter has never stayed with her parents since she was born, and she rarely mentions it. She was quite worried about this, for fear that her granddaughter would become estranged from her parents.

She was old, and her granddaughter would still have to rely on her parents in the future. After arriving in Linyi County, she could spend more time trying to bring her son and granddaughter closer together.

Daohua curled her lips: “Father has a precious daughter by his side, so he may not care about me.”

Mrs. Yan glared at her granddaughter angrily: “Why, do you think you can’t compare to the daughter raised by that concubine?” Although they are both granddaughters, I’m sorry, she is eccentric, don’t care about the letter from the eldest son about the twins born to the concubine, in her eyes, no one can surpass Daohua.

Daohua stood up immediately, raised her head, and said aggressively: “I can’t compare with her? I just don’t bother to compare.” Compared with a little doll, it’s too inferior!

Although her current body is also a small doll, the inner core is a fast-moving adult.

The old lady Yan looked at her pretentious granddaughter amusedly, and comforted her: “Don’t worry, you are the eldest granddaughter of the Yan family, no one can surpass you.”

Daohua threw herself into the arms of the old lady Yan , There was a smile in his eyes and

brows : “Isn’t the eldest brother better?” vinegar?”

“Anyway, Grandma’s favorite is Daohua.” Daohua buried her head in the old lady’s arms and said with a wicked smile.

For this old lady who was the first to see her when she opened her eyes, and then raised her with her hands, she was already too proficient in acting like a baby and making fun of her.

“Yes, the old woman likes you the most, you crazy girl.” The old lady Yan was pampered and shook her head helplessly.

“Mother!”

At this moment, Yan Zhiqiang and his wife walked in.

Daohua came out of the old lady’s arms, greeted her third uncle and three aunts, and obediently sat aside.

There is a county magistrate from the Yan family, and the family rules are more strict than those in the village.

Although the elders don’t have to avoid talking to the elders, they can’t intervene at will.

Yan Zhiqiang: “Mother, we have already packed the food.” The

old lady Yan nodded, San’er has always been careful and thoughtful in doing things, and she doesn’t need to worry about anything: “Well, you can go on the road tomorrow.”

Yan Zhiqiang hesitated: “Mother Why don’t I stay and go with you?”

Mrs. Yan glared at San’er: “You stayed, who will watch so much food?”

“Then I’ll stay.” Wu hurriedly said .

The food needs to go first by water, but she and the head of the family have left, leaving mother, Daohua, and Wen Tao on the road alone. If something happens on the road, how can they explain it to the eldest brother?

Mrs. Yan waved her hand: “Wen Hui is still young and needs your care. I will go with Dao Hua and Wen Tao, accompanied by Lao Sun and his wife. We will follow the official road along the way, and nothing will happen. ”

Seeing that his mother had made up his mind, Yan Zhiqiang couldn’t say anything more.

The old lady brought up the four siblings by herself, and also supported a county magistrate. She has always been one-sided, and it is difficult to change her mind when she decides on something.

The next day, Yan Zhiqiang and his wife took their 6-year-old son Yan Wenhui to Linyi County first.

The Yan family went to see many people off.

“Zhiqiang, you should come back more often to see us old fellows in the future.”

“Third Grandfather, don’t worry, we will come back every year, you forgot that we have to worship our ancestors.”

“Zhiqiang, in the future If you get developed, don’t forget the folks.”

“Never forget, never forget.”

“.”

In the reluctance of everyone, the chariots and horses that pulled Yan Zhiqiang, his wife and food went farther and farther.

At the same time, Yan Yunxi, the patriarch’s granddaughter, looked enviously at Daohua who was packing up in the Yan family compound.

“Daohua, after you go to Linyi County, you will be the county magistrate’s daughter.”

Daohua was amused by the little girl’s words, turned her head and smiled and said, “If I don’t go to Linyi County, I will also be the county magistrate’s daughter.”

Miss Yan Yunxi He choked and pouted.

As the patriarch’s granddaughter, in Yanjia Village, all the children would curry favor with her, but there was one person she could never surpass.

This person is Yan Daohua in front of her.

Looking at Daohua’s white, rosy, pink and delicate cheeks, the sour water in Yan Yunxi’s heart gushed out.

I don’t know how long this guy is? Usually, she likes to play wild in the fields when she has nothing to do, but her skin is never tanned, which makes people jealous.

You know, she and other little girls in the village get tanned as soon as they go out.

Her appearance is incomparable;

her family background, her grandfather is the head of the Yan clan, but her father is the county magistrate.

She was really compared from head to toe.

Every time she stood with Daohua, she felt ashamed, which made her very uncomfortable, so she didn’t like to play with Daohua at all, and she didn’t let other children in the village play with her.

If Grandpa hadn’t forced her to say goodbye to Daohua this time, she wouldn’t have been willing to step into the Yan family compound.

Thinking of what his grandfather and father said in private, Yan Yunxi couldn’t help being jealous and said: “Daohua, I don’t think you will be the daughter of the county magistrate for long. My grandfather said that your father has been re-elected as the county magistrate for three terms, and the magistrate is also the same. Those who need to be assessed, if they fail, they will be dismissed.”

Daohua stopped her tidying up and turned to look at the little girl.

Don’t underestimate the little girls in ancient times, their small thoughts, sometimes even an adult has to bow down.   ”You don’t need to worry about my family’s affairs. My father will definitely be prosperous in the future

. Do you have anything else? I still have a lot of things that I haven’t packed, so I won’t send you off.”
