There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 39

[Chapter 39, No Money Praise]

the winter in Linyi County is colder than Yanjia Village, since the snow started, the old lady Yan has been huddled in the house, unwilling to go out.

Daohua was afraid that the old lady would suffer from being bored in the room, so as long as she ate at Songhe Courtyard, she would take the old lady out for a few laps after eating, firstly to exercise her body, and secondly to get some air.

On Laba Festival, Daohua and the others didn’t have classes, so after breakfast, she took Old Madam Yan out for a walk.

When Yan Zhigao came over, he happened to miss it with his grandfather and grandson.

“Where’s the old lady?”

Yan Zhigao asked Sun Ma who was cleaning the house.

Sun Ma said with a smile: “The eldest girl went to eat with the old lady.”

Yan Zhigao glanced at the snow on the ground outside the door, frowned and said: “Isn’t this nonsense, such a cold day, the old lady was frozen What should I do?”

Seeing that Yan Zhigao’s face was not looking well, Mama Sun immediately explained: “Master, don’t worry, the old lady is in good health, besides, if you go out to get some fresh air, the old lady’s spirit will only get better.”

Yan Zhigao paused: “Why, is the old lady not in good spirits?”

Sun’s mother: “It’s not bad, but I’m not used to it. The master also knows that the old lady can’t be idle. When it’s winter, the old lady can still go out to chat with people, and she has some work on her hands, but here, the old lady takes good care of her, and the old lady can’t find anything to do, so she’s a little bored.”

People have nothing to do Isn’t the spirit decadent?

Yan Zhigao blamed himself: “It’s because I didn’t think carefully and ignored my mother. From now on, I will leave office as soon as possible and spend more time with my mother.”

Sun Ma immediately said: “Master, don’t do this, if the old lady knows She will not be happy if the master delays work in order to accompany her.” Seeing that Yan Zhigao still blamed himself, he smiled again.

“Master, you don’t have to be like this. In the twelfth lunar month, the eldest girl has fewer classes. She will come to accompany the old lady every day. With her by her side, the old lady will not be unhappy.”

Yan Zhigao’s expression changed: “Daohua Do you come every day?”

Speaking of Daohua, the smile on Sun Ma’s face suddenly increased: “I come every day, when she comes, as long as she sees the old lady bored in the room, she will always think of various ways to make the old lady feel bored. The wife went out for a walk, saying that people who stay in the house all the time will be suffocated.”

“The old lady can’t resist her, and she will go out with her every time after eating. Not to mention, since the beginning of the meal After digesting the food, the old lady’s spirit is getting better day by day.”

As she spoke, Sun Ma laughed again as if she had thought of something.   ”I don’t know what the eldest girl thought a few days ago. She said that

she wanted to find a set of exercises for the old lady, so that she could practice martial arts in the house when she was free.”

She laughed, shook her head and said: “This child…”

Grandma said: “Young lady, I’m afraid that the old lady will be bored.”

Yan Zhigao nodded, and sighed in his heart, after all, the old lady raised him himself, but he is better than other people. Be careful, even he didn’t notice that the old lady would not get used to being here, but Daohua found out, so it’s no wonder that the old lady prefers her.

At this time, a little maid walked into the room: “Mother Sun, come over from the kitchen and ask, when will you start cooking Laba porridge?”

Mother Sun looked at the sky and said, “No hurry, the eldest girl hasn’t come back yet, you go and tell the kitchen. Let them do other things first, the eldest girl said that she will make the Laba porridge herself.”

After the little maid retreated, Yan Zhigao smiled and said, “Today Daohua wants to cook by herself?”

Sun Ma nodded with a smile: ” During this period of time, the eldest girl was learning to be a female celebrity, and her hands were tied so badly that the old lady would not let her touch the water when she saw it. Today is the Laba Festival, the old lady really wants to eat the Laba porridge that the eldest girl made in previous years, so she agreed to cook once.”

Yan Zhigao’s expression changed: “How is Daohua doing in school?”

Grandma: “That’s good, the eldest girl is smart, she can understand everything in the book at a glance, and she can’t learn it without her.”

For the next period of time, Yan Zhigao just watched grandma’s eloquent speech in silence. Praising Daohua, he never knew that Sunma’s eloquence was so good, and when she praised the eldest daughter, it was not serious.

“Hey, the big girl is smart because she’s smart, but she’s not very smart to learn from female celebrities.”

Yan Zhigao heard this, thinking that Sun Mama was going to end, but Sun Mama changed the subject and started talking again.

“The old lady said that the eldest girl has not yet opened up about female reds. When she is opened up, she will definitely be able to embroider whatever she wants.”

Yan Zhigao sounded a little ashamed when he said this, and couldn’t help it. Hold out your hand and cover your forehead.

Seeing this, Sun Ma thought that Yan Zhigao didn’t believe what she said, so she immediately looked for evidence to prove it: “Master, the eldest girl has been dexterous since she was a child, you have eaten her cooking, it is not an old slave boasting, her cooking skills are the kitchen Even the old lady Ren in the village can’t compare to her.”

Yan Zhigao agreed with this point: “But Daohua is good at cooking, doesn’t it mean that she is also good at imitating female celebrities?”

Sun’s mother immediately retorted: “A person who is dexterous, how about female celebrities? Maybe it’s not good? The old lady also said that the eldest girl is just learning to be a female celebrity, and she hasn’t found a way yet. When she finds it, she will definitely be able to embroider very well.”

Sun Ma is the old lady’s person, Yan Zhi It was not good for Gao to argue with her, so he nodded his head ignorant of his conscience, and then quickly changed the subject: “Why haven’t Mother and Daohua come back yet?”

Mama Sun: “Maybe they have gone a little farther away.”

Usually, as long as there is time, Daohua and Daohua Mrs. Yan not only walks in the backyard of the county office, but also sometimes goes shopping in the street.

Yan Zhigao blamed himself for not noticing the old mother’s feelings, and stayed in Songhe Yuan all the time, wanting to spend time with the old man.

After sitting for a full hour, I saw the old mother and Daohua came back with smiles on their faces, each holding a potted plant.

“Mom, where have you been?”

Yan Zhigao quickly got up to meet him, took the potted plant from Old Madam Yan’s hand, and helped the old lady into the house.

Mrs. Yan was very happy: “He Daohua went shopping around the street and came back after buying two potted plants.”

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao paused, glanced at the cheerful eldest daughter next to him, and then looked at The red-faced old mother didn’t say anything to tell them not to go out in the future.

“Mother, if you want to go out in the future, remember to bring more people.”

Forget it, the mother and the eldest daughter have been living in their hometown, and they are used to being at ease. It is understandable that they are not used to the rules that the female relatives of a rich family cannot go out at will. Take your time.

Old Madam Yan waved her hand indifferently: “We didn’t go too far, so we took a stroll around the county government office.” Daohua, who

was still a little apprehensive at first, glanced at Father Cheap, saw that he didn’t stop them from going out, and laughed Said : “Grandmother, father is caring about us.” The

old lady Yan smiled immediately: “Okay, bring more people next time when you go out.” As she said, she waved to Yan Zhigao, “Zhigao, you Come and have a look, Dao Hua and I had very good luck today, as soon as we went out, we met a red plum bonsai seller, and he bought the bonsai back for only ten taels of silver.”

Yan Zhigao glanced at the flower bone. There is no bonsai, and I thought that the red plums in the bonsai would not be able to support them. They might have been deceived, but seeing the old lady was so happy, they could only say: “When did mother learn to appreciate bonsai?”

Ten taels of silver bought two bonsai , in his cognition, the old mother would never spend such a waste of money.

The old lady Yan glanced at her eldest son sideways: “Is it necessary to learn to look at beautiful things?”

When he was in his hometown, Daohua liked to mess with flowers and plants in the yard of his house when he had nothing to do. Said, I am used to seeing red flowers, willows and green flowers, but when I came to the north, I was not used to seeing the vast expanse of whiteness everywhere.

Yan Zhigao: “Uh”

he was speechless.

The old lady Yan was too lazy to bother him, and looked at Daohua: “Take good care of these two bonsai, maybe we can enjoy the red plums during the Chinese New Year.”

Daohua patted her chest confidently: “Grandma, why don’t you Look at mine.”

Seeing the two excitedly, Yan Zhigao really wanted to hit them.

Where did the mother and eldest daughter get the confidence that they could support these two pots of red plums?

Hongmei is notoriously difficult to handle.

One winter, he and Aunt Lin got angry. In order to calm her down, he bought a pot of plum blossoms for a hundred dollars to make her happy. Unfortunately, the plum blossoms died within a month.

At this time, Grandma Sun came in: “Big girl, it’s almost noon, do you think you should cook Laba porridge?”

Daohua patted his head fiercely: “I almost forgot about it, red beans, lotus seeds, etc. Is it all ready?”

Grandma: “It’s ready, that girl Man’er is watching.” Daohua looked at

Mrs. Yan: “Grandmother, I’m going to the kitchen.”

Mrs. Yan hurriedly pulled her: “Your hand”

Yan Zhigao realized that the eldest daughter’s fingers were wrapped in white cloth.

“It’s okay!” Daohua took off the white cloth directly, revealing her needle-pocketed fingers, “Grandma, look, the swelling has subsided.” The

old lady Yan was still worried: “Don’t touch the water, you can tell the kitchen how to do it. ” It’s the right person.”

“I know!”

After Daohua left, Yan Zhigao asked, “Daohua’s female celebrity.” The

old lady Yan squinted at him: “My Daohua is so handy, so naturally the female celebrity is not here. Excuse me. But Master Qin, I don’t think her female celebrity is very good. During this period of time, Daohua embroidered purses every day, and her hands are swollen. I don’t know if she is bullying or teaching people?”

“I It doesn’t matter, if Daohua’s female celebrity still doesn’t make progress, you can change my wife.”

Yan Zhigao wanted to say a few words, but when he met the old mother’s stern eyes, he immediately faltered.

At the same time, I also felt that Master Qin was doing something wrong.

The eldest daughter’s hands are like this, why let her embroider purses?

The old lady Yan snorted coldly: “Although the master in the family is teaching some girls, Daohua is the eldest daughter of the Yan family. Don’t forget this. If she can’t learn anything, I think the master will There is no need to invite me.” Yan

Zhigao: “Mom, how could I forget this.” The

old lady Yan said lightly: “Who knows if you have amnesia? Well, let’s not talk, what should you do?” What are you going to do?”

Yan Zhigao felt that he was rejected by his old mother: “Mother, my son is here to accompany you today.” The

old lady Yan saw through his expression: “You want to eat Laba porridge made by Daohua, right? ”

Yan Zhigao: “.” He is Daohua’s father, so could it be possible that she can’t honor him by cooking Laba porridge?
