There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 44

[Chapter 44, Annual Ceremony]

the matter of the New Year Refugees was successfully resolved, and the students and teachers in the county school received countless thanks.

Because of this experience, the county school has undergone some changes.

For example, some students who don’t like to read books took the initiative to pick up books for the first time.

When I asked them why, some people said that they should study hard and be good officials who would benefit the people in the future, so as not to allow refugees to appear again under the rule

; Their family property was ruined by them, and they had to become refugees.

Regardless of the reason, Jiaoyu Zhu Chengyu is happy to see such a change.

Because the donation was initiated by Yan Wenxiu, in the following days, every time Zhu Chengyu met him, he was extraordinarily amiable.

One day, Zhu Chengyu wandered to the county government office, and everyone he met would praise Yan Wenxiu.

Everyone in the county government also knew about it, so they also praised it together.

Those who can work here are all good people, so they will not miss such a good opportunity to flatter the county magistrate.

These words spread to magistrate Yan, and it really made him feel very honored.

Master Xiao glanced at County Magistrate Yan, who had never stopped smiling, and shook his head with a smile.

Because he is assisted by Yan Wenxiu, he knows more than others.

For example, the matter of asking students to donate was proposed by the eldest daughter of the Yan family.

In his opinion, the most praiseworthy person for this donation should be the eldest daughter of the Yan family.

You know, before that, even he didn’t think of a way to get the rich and gentry in the county to take out their belongings to help the refugees.

Although the eldest girl of the Yan family only raised her opinion and didn’t participate in it, she should be the first one if she wants to reward her meritorious deeds.

Did Yan Zhigao forget Daohua?

of course not!

Because of this incident, he discovered that the eldest daughter was really as smart as Mrs. Yan said, and in the subsequent relationship, he was a little more tolerant towards the eldest daughter.

At the same time, the entire Yan family found that after the experience of donation, Yan Wenxiu had also undergone some changes. He was more stable and confident than before.

Songheyuan.

Mrs. Yan was chatting with her three daughters-in-law.

Mrs. Yan: “This donation is right. Look at Wenxiu. After running for a few days, he is much more cheerful than before. I used to see him bored in the room reading all day long. I was so bored for him.” Panic.” The

teenage boy is just at the time of being lively and active, and every time she sees her eldest grandson sitting in the room with a book, she feels distressed.

Mrs. Li sighed: “Wenxiu puts too much pressure on himself.” Mrs.

Sun said with a smile: “Wenxiu is the grandson of the Yan family, and he shoulders the burden of the Yan family, and the elder brother values it more. Is it not like my Wenjie, who is either crazy or troubled all day long.”

Mrs. Yan: “It’s good to read more, but you can’t study too hard, what did Daohua say?”

Wu said with a smile : “You need to combine work and rest.”

Mrs. Yan: “Yes, yes, that’s it. You need to combine work and rest, read for a while, and then play for a while, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort.”

Mrs. Li smiled: “Isn’t that right?” Did Daohua say it on purpose?”

Mrs. Yan looked at Mrs. Li disapprovingly: “Nonsense, Daohua has never made me worry about studying. Reasonable and sensible, with a lot of knowledge in her head, she is not afraid of wherever she goes.”

“When she was young, I didn’t even think about it, she knew that she was reading for herself, she was the master, it was her I found it by myself.”

“Third Uncle, you all know that such an old-fashioned old man loves Daohua. The only thing that is bad is that he always complains that Daohua is not a boy.”

Mrs. Wu said with a smile: “That’s not because the third uncle values Daohua.”

Mrs. Yan said: “What matters is what matters, but it’s just a little bit more patriarchal. My family Daohua is a girl. Girls can’t be good. ?”

Hearing this, Mrs. Li paused and sighed in her heart.

The world has too many restraints on women. Compared with boys and girls, boys are much more comfortable.

“Grandma, I’m back!”

Just then, Daohua’s voice came into the room.

The old lady Yan immediately smiled and said, “This girl is still so crazy!” Although her tone was reproachful, her expression could not hide her pampering.

“Hey, everyone is here!”

Daohua looked a little surprised when she entered the room and saw the room full of people.

Mrs. Li stepped forward to take Daohua’s cloak: “Why did class end so early today?”

Daohua took Mrs. Li’s arm smoothly: “Master Qin said that the end of the year is approaching, let us review the previous lessons, no need Stay in the classroom all the time.”

Mrs. Yan nodded: “That’s fine, the weather is getting colder and colder in the classroom, I’m afraid you will freeze, and reading in the house is the same.”

That night, After dinner, Daohua helped Mrs. Li back to the main courtyard.

Upon returning, Ping Tong handed a letter to Mrs. Li.

Daohua: “Whose letter is it?”

Mrs. Li smiled: “I’m sure you are from my uncle, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Counting the days, your grandparent’s family’s New Year’s ceremony should also be here.”

Daohua’s eyes The light flickered: “Uncle? The uncle who sends me hair flowers every year?”

When she was still in Yanjia Village, she would receive a box of hair flowers every year, but the little girls in the clan were so envious.

Mrs. Li smiled and nodded: “Isn’t it?”

Dao Hua became interested: “Look, what is written in uncle’s letter?”

Mrs. Li: “It’s nothing more than some homely words to say hello and greetings.”

Having said that, Mrs. Li quickly opened the envelope, and the mother and daughter read the letter head to head.

“Mother, uncle cares about you very much.”

“Nonsense, that’s mother’s brother, can you not care?”

“Mother, uncle brought me something again!”

“Most of the brocades in Fucheng are from the Jiangnan area. Very good, you can hardly buy them in our county, and when the New Year’s Eve comes, mother will use the material your uncle gave you to make some clothes for you.”

“Okay, mother will do it too, and grandma.”

“Why, Did you forget about your father?”

“.”

The uncle didn’t say anything else in the letter, they were all very common, everyday things, but between the lines, Daohua could feel the kind of elder brother’s concern for his younger sister.

On the third day after receiving the letter, the Li family’s New Year’s gift really arrived, with two carts full of things.

Unfortunately, on that day, Mrs. Li took Daohua out to buy things for the New Year and was not at home.

Mrs. Li was not there, but Yan Zhigao happened to be taking a rest.

Yan Zhigao was satisfied when he saw the rich annual gift from the Li family.

Although the wife’s natal family is a merchant, they have helped them financially over the years. Of course, to a certain extent, they have also been protected by him, the county magistrate.

The two can be regarded as getting what they need.

During the New Year’s ceremony, the cloth occupies a relatively large area, and it is placed on the top. Yan Zhigao thought that it was the New Year, and each room had to make clothes. Anyway, when the wife came back, it would be distributed to each room, so he decided to directly distribute most of the materials. Give points.

Among them, two of the best brocades were given to the second bedroom, one to the third bedroom, and the rest were sent to Shuangxin Yuan.

After Mrs. Li came back, she found that the brocades that her brother had given the eldest daughter and the old lady to make clothes were gone, and she immediately turned black.
