There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 498

[Chapter 498, New Year’s Eve]

Eve, Yan’s family became lively in the morning, and all the houses were dressed in new clothes and gathered in the old lady’s yard to eat glutinous rice balls.

After breakfast, Yan Zhigao led a few juniors to write couplets. On the side of the women’s family, Mrs. Yan took everyone to paste window grilles and blessing characters. The whole family was talking and laughing, and there was a joyous atmosphere everywhere.

Seeing the happy family, Dao Hua’s heart was also full of joy, but the lonely figure of Xiao Yeyang would be thought of in her mind from time to time, so the joy in her heart faded.

“Cousin Yiyi, Uncle has written the couplet, shall we get it and paste it?”

Seeing Daohua sitting by the side, Yang Xiuyun smiled and called her.

Daohua smiled: “You and Yihuan and the others go post it. I’m going to the kitchen to see how the dishes are getting prepared.” After saying that, she got up and left the yard.

Looking at the back of Daohua leaving, Yang Xiuyun looked puzzled, the food for the family dinner on New Year’s Eve had been ordered by the aunt early in the morning, there was no need for cousin Yiyi to go over and stare at her.

“Xiuyun, what are you doing standing there, I didn’t see your fourth cousin posting pairs, why don’t you hurry over and help.” Yan Siyu winked at Yang Xiuyun.

Yang Xiuyun glanced at Yan Wenkai, saw the bright and sunny smile on his face, pursed her lips, and walked over with a decent smile.

Mrs. Li, who was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Yan, heard her sister-in-law’s voice, looked up at her niece who was walking towards her youngest son, and frowned slightly.

On the other side, when Daohua came to the kitchen, she asked for a small stove, then rolled up her sleeves and started cooking.

Wang Man’er was on the sidelines, and when she saw that her daughter was making some light food, she immediately knew that it was for the little prince.

At noon, Daohua put the prepared food into a food box and handed it to Wang Man’er: “Go and let Xiao Liu run for a while, let him walk faster, and don’t let the food get cold.”

Wang Man’er nodded , ready to leave with the food box in hand.

“Wait!” Daohua stopped him, “Let the sixth brother tell Xiao Yeyang that I went to play with him after lunch with the third and fourth brothers.”

Wang Man’er laughed and said, “I’ve written it down. ”

Dao Hua said again: “Remember to avoid people, go.”

After Wang Man’er left, Dao Hua called the maid, brought the rice cakes and went to the old lady’s yard.

Xiao Mansion.

Defu silently put away the sweet soup that Xiao Yeyang had only eaten a few mouthfuls of, and turned his head to look at the master standing at the door looking in the direction of the door, feeling very uncomfortable.

Today is New Year’s Eve, which is the time for family reunion, but the master can only celebrate the New Year by himself.

Hey. I don’t know if Miss Yan can go out today? If she couldn’t come, the master might be disappointed.

Defu walked towards Xiao Yeyang, and asked with a smile: “Master, today’s meals are made in the kitchen according to the menu of previous years. Do you think there is anything to add or subtract?”

Xiao Yeyang looked indifferently: “Look at Let’s do it.” As he spoke, he was silent for a while, and asked, “Is the black-bone chicken soup ready?”

Defu nodded, and said with a smile: “The kitchen is already on the boil early in the morning. The slave just passed the kitchen, and he was so far away. I can smell the fragrance.” The

corners of Xiao Yeyang’s mouth curled slightly, and finally there was a smile on his face, and after a while, he asked with some uncertainty: “Do you think she will come?”

Defu’s expression paused , thought about it, and said: “Miss Yan has always been trustworthy, she will definitely do what she said.”

Xiao Yeyang frowned: “Aunt Li is strict, I’m afraid she won’t let her out. ”

Defu didn’t know how to answer the conversation.

Not to mention that today is New Year’s Eve, even in normal times, ladies from rich families can’t go out often. Although Miss Yan goes out more often than others, she has to report to Mrs. Li every time, so he can’t say for sure.

At this moment, the doorman trotted in: “Master, a man named Qin Xiaoliu came over and said that he was ordered by Yan Sanye and Yan Siye to bring you food.”

Defu ‘s expression brightened. , was more excited than Xiao Yeyang, and asked first: “Where is the person

?

” Go over there and bring him here yourself.”

Xiao Yeyang nodded expressionlessly.

Defu looked at the smile in the master’s eyes, and the smiles on his face became more and more, and he quickly left the yard.

Soon, he brought Qin Xiaoliu over.

“My little one, please greet the little prince. Happy New Year, little prince.”

Xiao Yeyang raised his hand to get Qin Xiaoliu up, and looked at the food box in his hand.

Qin Xiaoliu hurriedly said: “My girl made this herself. Once it’s ready, I’ll order the little girl to bring it to you.”

Defu took the food box, touched it with his hand, and said with a smile: “Master, it’s still hot. I’m eating. ”

The corners of Xiao Yeyang’s mouth twitched: “Well, I can eat.”

Qin Xiaoliu laughed again: “My girl also said that she would come over to play with you with the third and fourth masters after lunch. Hearing this ,

Xiao Yeyang raised his head and looked at the sky, the smile on his face could not be suppressed, and after a while, he covered his mouth with fists and said: “I see.” Then, he took a look and was blessed .

Defu immediately took out a piece of silver from his pocket and gave it to Qin Xiaoliu: “Master rewards you.”

Qin Xiaoliu quickly thanked him: “Thank you, little prince.”

Xiao Yeyang nodded, turned and entered the room: ” Defu, send one away.”

“Yes!”

Defu put the food box on the table, and then took Qin Xiaoliu out, and when he came back, he saw that his master had already put the food box in the food box. The meals are ready and ready to eat.

“Miss Yan’s cooking is delicious, and you can smell it from afar.”

Xiao Yeyang glanced at him with a smile on his face: “Are you a dog?”

Defu laughed straight ‘hehe’.

Xiao Yeyang: “Okay, except for the black-bone chicken soup, I will reward you for the food cooked in the kitchen today, go eat it, I don’t need you here.”

Defu immediately thanked in a loud voice: “Thank you, master, for the reward. Today we are lucky.”

Yan Fu.

Everyone in the Yan family also sat down at the table, because this year Yan Siyu, mother and son were there, the old lady was very happy, and the smile on her face never faded.

Looking at the children gathered around her and the sumptuous meals on the table, the corners of Old Madam Yan’s eyes were a little moist.

She never dreamed that she would have such a day.

The house is full of children and grandchildren, and the family is prosperous.

Daohua noticed the strangeness of the old lady, and immediately picked up the jug and bought a glass of wine for the old lady: “Grandmother, granddaughter wishes you a happy new year, live younger and younger.”

Old lady Yan picked up the glass with a smile: “Look at You are so sensible and well-behaved, I will live another two years, I will drink this cup.” As

soon as Daohua started, the juniors in the family began to toast one by one.

Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li looked at it with a smile, but they didn’t stop them. The old lady and the children drank fruit wine, not intoxicating.

The meal was a bit long, and Daohua didn’t eat much because she had something on her mind. When the lunch was over, she kept looking at Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao from time to time.

Yan Wentao noticed Daohua’s gaze and pulled Yan Wenkai, and Yan Wenkai pulled Yan Wenxiu again.

Yan Wenxiu immediately smiled and said: “Big sister, didn’t you say that you wanted to read the lonely book about farming in my study room? I found it yesterday, so go and read it.

” What book?”

Daohua stood up: “Grandma, I want to read it. I’ve missed that book for a long time.” Then, she looked at Yan Wenxiu, “Brother, where did you put it? I want it now.”

Yan Wenxiu: “Wen Tao and Wenkai know, let them go with you.” Daohua

smiled and said, “Okay, we’ll be back later.”

Seeing the three leave, Mrs. Yan smiled and shook her head, then continued talking to her son and daughter.
