There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 69

[Chapter 69, go home]

Zhongzhou Provincial Government, post station.

Li Xingchang and Li Xingnian were saying goodbye to Yan Zhigao and his party.

Li Xingchang looked a little regretful: “The time here is too tight this time, and I didn’t even have time to go to my house.” He said and looked at Daohua, “You haven’t met your cousins and cousins yet, this time It’s not a coincidence that the one from my hometown celebrated his birthday, and your two aunts took them to celebrate his birthday.”

Daohua was puzzled: “The one from my hometown? Who is it?”

Yan Wenxiu knew about his grandfather’s family, so he immediately He pulled Daohua and signaled her not to ask any more questions.

Li Xingchang saw that Yan Wenxiu kept giving Daohua winks, and smiled: “Go back and ask your mother.” After speaking, he went to talk to Yan Zhigao.

Daohua immediately pulled Yan Wenxiu and asked, “Brother, who is uncle talking about?”

Yan Wenxiu didn’t want to say, but Yan Wenkai came over and said, “It’s our grandmother, but it’s the descendant.” Daohua’s

eyes widened: “Grandmother is still alive? Why haven’t I heard my mother mention it?”

Yan Wenkai: “It’s said to be a descendant. Let me tell you, big sister, that old woman is bad. Back then, she wanted to marry our mother to a crappy old man in his late teens.” What?”

“Fourth brother!” Yan Wenxiu glared at Yan Wenkai, “What are you talking about? It’s the elders.”

Yan Wenkai curled his lips: “What elders, mother has never admitted it, anyway, I don’t recognize it.”

Yan Wenxiu A little helpless: “It’s good that you know some things in your heart, why say it out, doesn’t it just leave people with tongues?”

Yan Wenkai said straightforwardly: “Isn’t this the eldest sister asking? Of course I want to say it.”

Yan Wenxiu moved She moved her lips, wanting to say that such a thing is not suitable for talking to women in the boudoir, but seeing Dao Hua looking at them with great interest, she sighed and said, “Mother is a married woman, it has nothing to do with that side, we There are only uncle and uncle in my family, don’t worry about the others.”

Dao Hua nodded, then looked at Yan Wenkai with piercing eyes.

Yan Wenkai didn’t care about Yan Wenxiu, and started muttering in a low voice while pulling Daohua.

“In order to prevent the old woman from marrying her mother to the bad old man, the uncle and the second uncle voluntarily gave up the family business left by their grandfather, and then took their mother away from home to go out to make a living. Now the uncle and uncle’s family property is all theirs. I saved up a little bit.”

“After that, I saw my uncle and uncle getting up, and I didn’t know what tricks they used, so I got in touch again.”

Daohua listened silently, thought for a while and asked again: “How did Mother marry Dad?”

Yan Wenkai: “I don’t know exactly what happened, but it seems that Grandma first fell in love with Mother.”

At this time, Li Xingchang, Li Xingnian and Yan Zhigao also said the same thing .

Yan Zhigao: “Brothers, let’s go now. When I settle down in Xingzhou, I will write to you. At that time, if you are free, you have to go and sit down.”

Li Xingchang nodded with a smile: “Definitely.”

“Uncle, Uncle, goodbye!”

Daohua and the others said goodbye to Brother Li Xingchang, and then the group boarded the carriage and drove quickly towards Linyi County.

Seeing the carriage going away, Li Xingchang and Li Xingnian turned around and walked back.

Li Xingchang’s brows were a little worried: “The more senior officials become, the bigger the gap with us will be. In the future, we will not be able to help my little sister much. The concubine’s room in the backyard of Yan’s family.”

Li Xingnian smiled : “Brother, put your heart in your stomach, our little sister has given birth to several amazing children, Wenxiu is a prudent young man, Wenkai is lively and straightforward, that girl Daohua is even more ghostly, big sister I can’t stand being bullied at Yan’s house.”

Li Xingchang’s worried expression remained undiminished: “It’s not that you don’t know the virtues of men, if Zhigao’s heart is biased, how will my little sister survive?”

Hearing this, Li Xingnian didn’t care much He smiled lightly and said, “As long as our brother-in-law is not a fool, he should know who has benefited from his promotion this time.”

Before he finished speaking, Li Xingchang interrupted: “You haven’t said that to Daohua, have you?” Li   Xingnian said

angrily, “Brother, you think I’m stupid!”

Appreciation is due to Daohua’s factors, but more is because he can do practical things for the people. Men are proud, so you can’t show your thoughts just now, otherwise, Daohua and Zhigao will be damaged. Father and daughter love each other.”

Li Xingnian somewhat disagreed: “It’s not that serious, if I have a daughter like Daohua, then I can wake up from my dreams with a smile.” Li

Xingchang: “That’s what you say, but who doesn’t want to improve themselves? It’s because of my own hard work.”

Li Xingnian: “Okay, don’t worry about it here anymore, my little sister is not stupid, I can see that girl Daohua, she is not one who will swallow her anger, if she does this she can do it Being bullied by a concubine, that’s what they deserve.” In the

carriage, while drinking the tea prepared by Daohua, Yan Zhigao was thinking about his experience of coming to Fucheng to report on his work this time.

Master Xiao poured himself another cup of tea, and said with a smile: “This time the tea is better than the last time. I heard that the eldest girl got up early in the morning to make it. Your filial piety is commendable.”

Yan Zhigao withdrew his thoughts: ” That girl does have some talent in cooking.”

Master Xiao nodded: “I heard that the cooking skills of the eldest girl are all taught by the old lady, as the old saying goes, an old man in a family is like a treasure, without the old lady’s teaching , we can’t drink such good tea, and this journey can’t be so easy.”

Hearing this, Yan Zhigao’s expression moved, thinking that if the old mother hadn’t insisted this time, he might not bring Daohua to Fucheng Come on, if Daohua doesn’t come, then

although he doesn’t want to admit his promotion, he knows in his heart that the reason for his promotion is directly related to the son Daohua saved.

“Master is right. Having an old man at home is like having the Dinghaishenzhen.” While speaking

, the two of them couldn’t help but smile when they heard the laughter coming from the carriage behind.

“Where there are big girls, there seems to be no shortage of laughter.”

“That girl loves to laugh!”

“No wonder the old lady is so precious, and the bright and carefree smiles of children will make you feel better.”

” ”

Yan Zhigao was in a hurry to return to Linyi County to take over the handover, and he was also in a hurry to go to Xingzhou to take up his post, so the speed of going back was much faster than when he came here.

In the bumpy carriage, Dao Hua looked at her pale elder brother and said, “Brother, you should exercise well when you go home this time.” After speaking, she handed him the water hyacinth containing rice soup.

Yan Wenxiu didn’t speak, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to say it, it was because of being bumped by the carriage. Fortunately, the elder sister had prepared glutinous rice soup in advance, and after drinking it, he could feel better.

Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao on the side didn’t need to pass the rice flower. After Yan Wenxiu drank it, he immediately hugged the water hyacinth and started drinking it.

Daohua hastily stopped her: “Drink less and save more for elder brother.”

Yan Wenkai wiped his mouth and said, “Elder sister, why don’t you cook more rice soup? I haven’t had enough.” Elder sister cooks food, No matter how simple it is, it seems to be very delicious.

Just this rice soup, after drinking it, he was full of cleanliness after sitting in the carriage.

Daohua ignored the big eater, opened the curtain of the car, and looked at the scenery outside the car: “We should be there soon?” The

driver’s voice came from outside the carriage: “Miss, we will arrive in Linyi County in half a day.” It is .”

Daohua nodded and looked at Yan Wenxiu: “Brother, just persevere, we will be home soon.”
