There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Yanjia Village.

Yan Family Courtyard.

Daohua sat upright in the main room, earnestly recording this year's harvest.

Mrs. Yan sat aside and looked at her lovingly. Seeing that her granddaughter kept a clear record of the harvest, she couldn't help but feel more satisfied and proud on her face.

She knew that the clan in the village often said that she was biased, and that she didn't hurt her grandson, but she hurt a little girl to the core.

But those people didn't even look at it, her family's rice flowers were very rare.

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

As soon as she was born, her eldest son, who failed the exam twice, was selected. In the second year, she was named on the gold list. She won the top three with Jinshi, and was appointed as the county magistrate of the seventh grade.

After that, his family, which could only be regarded as a middle-class family in Yanjia Village, started to get better year after year, and gradually became prosperous.

In addition to these, that girl is also very warm, so warm that people's hearts will melt.

The child's father died early, and she was a widow at a young age. In order to pull the four older children, she could only work day and night.

When the eldest was appointed as the county magistrate, she felt that she could explain to the child's father, and the tension in her heart was relieved, and then her body died.

Since then, she has been unable to do heavy work, and is usually out of breath, and the soup is constantly being used.

When the eldest took office, Daohua was left in his hometown. First, the granddaughter was still young, so it was not easy to travel long distances; secondly, Daohua was white, tender and well-behaved. amused.

When this girl was five years old, she didn't know where she heard the news that a monk from a mountain temple more than ten miles away could cure her illness, so she secretly followed the temple rushers in the village and went directly to the door to ask for medicine.

The sun in the dog days is roasting on the adults, and the 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 asked for, her heart had never been so soft.

It's strange to say, since then, her body has really been like a day, and now she goes out, who doesn't say that she is in good health and spirit? Even the average young woman may not outrun her.

This girl is her lucky star.

"Grandmother, are we going to send the harvest of more than 200 mu of land to Linyi County?" Daohua looked up at Mrs. Yan after calculating this year's harvest.

Linyi County was the county seat where her father took office.

Mrs. Yan nodded: "Many capitals in the north suffered from drought last year. Linyi County is in the north. Although there was no major drought, the harvest was not very good. You can exchange some money."

Daohua sighed and pretended to be old and said, "It seems that my father's life is not easy."

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

Mrs. Yan: "It's not easy to know your father. When you arrive in Linyi County, you have to get close to your father."

The granddaughter has never been with her parents since she was born, and she rarely mentions it at ordinary times. She is not less worried about this, for fear that the granddaughter will be estranged from her parents.

She is old, and her granddaughter will still have to rely on her parents in the future. After arriving in Linyi County, she can put more effort into bringing her son and granddaughter closer.

Daohua pouted: "My 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?" How, in her eyes, no one can pass Daohua.

Daohua stood up at once, raised her head, and said aggressively: "I can't compare to her? I just don't want to compare." Compared with a little baby, it's too much!

Although her body is still a small baby, the core inside is an adult who is running fast.

Mrs. Yan looked at the granddaughter who pretended to be majestic and reassured, "Put your heart in your stomach, you are the eldest granddaughter of the Yan family, and no one can beat you."

Daohua threw herself into Mrs. Yan's arms, with a smile in her eyes and brows: "Isn't eldest brother beyond that?"

"You clever ghost!" Mrs. Yan reached out and tapped Daohua's forehead: "That's your eldest brother, you still want to eat his vinegar?"

"Anyway, my grandmother's favorite is only Daohua." Daohua buried her head in the old lady's arms and smiled wickedly.

As for this old lady who was the first to see her when she opened her eyes, and then she was feeding her with her hands, acting like a spoiled child, she was too proficient at it.

"Yes, the old lady likes you the crazy girl the most." Old Madam Yan was doting on her and shaking her head helplessly.

"mother!"

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

Daohua came out of the old lady's arms, greeted the third uncle and aunt, and sat down obediently.

The Yan family had a county magistrate who had more rules than those in the village.

When the elders speak, the juniors don't have to avoid them, but they can't interrupt at will.

Yan Zhiqiang: "Mother, we have already packed the food."

Mrs. Yan nodded, San'er has always been careful and thoughtful in her work, and she doesn't need to worry about anything: "Well, you can hit 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 is watching so much food?"

"Then I'll stay." Wu shi hurriedly answered.

Grain must go by water, but she and the head of the family have left, leaving her mother, Daohua, and Wentao on the road alone. If something happened on the road, how could they explain it to the elder brother?

Mrs. Yan waved her hand: "Wen Hui is still young and needs your care, I will go with Daohua and Wen Tao, and the old and grandsons will accompany us. ."

Yan Zhiqiang saw that his mother had made up his mind, so he couldn't say more.

The old lady raised the four siblings by herself, and also provided a county magistrate. She has always been one-of-a-kind, and it is difficult to change her attention when she decides.

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

The Yan family went to see off many people.

"Zhiqiang, you can come back to see us old guys more in the future."

"Third grandpa, don't worry, we will come back every year. You forgot that we still have to worship our ancestors."

"Zhiqiang, if it develops in the future, don't forget the folks."

"Can't forget, can't forget."

"."

In the reluctance of everyone, the carriage and horses pulling Yan Zhiqiang and his wife and food went farther and farther.

At the same time, in the Yan family compound, Yan Yunxi, the granddaughter of the patriarch, looked at Daohua who was packing with admiration.

"Daohua, after going to Linyi County, you are the daughter of the county magistrate."

Daohua was amused by the little girl's words, turned around and smiled: "I am also the county magistrate's daughter if I don't go to Linyi County."

The little girl Yan Yunxi choked and pouted.

As the granddaughter of the patriarch, in Yanjia Village, all the children would curry favor with her, but there was one person she could not overcome.

This person is Yan Daohua in front of him.

Looking at the red, pink and delicate cheeks of Daohuabai, the sour water in Yan Yunxi's heart gushed out.

I don't know how tall this guy is. Usually, she likes to run wild in the fields when she has something to do, but her skin never gets tanned, which makes people jealous.

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

Looks, incomparable;

In her family background, her grandfather was the patriarch of the Yan clan, but her father was 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 it wasn't for her grandfather forcing her to say goodbye to Daohua this time, she would not be willing to step into the Yan family compound.

Thinking of what his grandfather and father had said in private, Yan Yunxi couldn't help but said with jealousy: "Daohua, I don't think you will be the county magistrate's daughter for long. My grandfather said that your father has been appointed magistrate for three consecutive terms, and so is the magistrate. If you don’t pass the assessment, you will be dismissed.”

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

Don't underestimate the little girls in ancient times, their careful thinking, sometimes she, an adult, has to be resigned.

"You don't have to worry about my family's affairs. My father will definitely have a successful career in the future. Do you have anything else to do? I still have a lot of things to pack, so I won't give you away."

After he finished speaking, he left the little girl with a handsome back.
