There is Room For the Poor Daughter

Yan Zhigao was released as an official. Although he has not returned to his hometown for many years, his contact with the clan has never been broken. Every year when people from his hometown come to pay the rent, Mrs. Li will prepare New Year gifts for the clan. some elders.

After learning that the Yan Yunxi brothers and sisters were going back, Mrs. Li started to get busy.

main courtyard.

Seeing that Mrs. Li had just finished handling the household chores, and immediately devoted herself to the preparations for the New Year's ceremony, Yang Xiuyun, who was pulled over by Daohua, sighed, "Auntie is really busy."

On the side, Daohua was looking at the gift list for the Yan clan, and continued with a smile: "When my eldest brother marries his sister-in-law in the future, my mother will be able to relax a little bit."

After Mrs. Li heard it, she smiled angrily: "You girl, you are more anxious than me."

Daohua smiled and replied, "Don't I feel sorry for my mother? With my sister-in-law, my mother doesn't have to work so hard." After speaking, she paused and frowned, "Mother, this Han family already lives in my house. It's been a short time, and they haven't revealed anything yet?"

The smile on Mrs. Li's face was accepted: "I'm still waiting for the reply from the capital."

Daohua: "I heard the second uncle say that the second master of the Han family seems to be holding it on purpose?"

Mrs. Li: "The woman, why should you be more reserved?"

Daohua curled her lips: "I see, that Mr. Han doesn't seem to think much of our family? Be careful, after so many days, there must be something to say."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "The Han family is still an earl's family. It is understandable to behave in a more fashionable manner. This can also show the nobleness of their girls."

Daohua shrugged and didn't speak.

Yang Xiujun took the copied gift list to Mrs. Li: "Auntie, do you think this is possible?"

Mrs. Li took the list and looked at it, and immediately praised: "Xiuyun's handwriting is really good."

With a shy face, Yang Xiujun said modestly, "Compared with cousin Yiyi, my word is far worse."

Mrs. Li shook her head: "Your handwriting is neat and graceful, and Yiyi's is fresh and elegant, which is different."

Yang Xiujun smiled: "Auntie, what can I do to help?"

Before Mrs. Li could speak, Daohua spoke first: "If cousin Xiuyun is all right, please help me pack the herbs in separate bags."

Mrs. Li laughed and scolded: "You will instruct your cousin to do things for you!"

Yang Xiujun smiled and said, "It's alright, I'm idle anyway." After speaking, she sat across from Daohua and looked at the baskets of prepared herbs on the table, "Cousin, do you have to pack these herbs?"

Daohua nodded: "These are all new medicines that were just received this year. Whether they are used for stewing soup or making porridge, they are very nourishing, and they may be given as gifts to the clansmen."

Yang Xiujun took a look at the medicinal materials. She only knew astragalus, angelica, and rehmannia, but she didn't know anything else. The quality of these medicinal materials was very good. Going to the pharmacy to buy them would cost a lot of money.

The uncle's house is really generous.

She glanced at it before, and the aunt's side also prepared red dates, walnuts, and sesame seeds. This gift is not light for farmers.

After determining how much to pack in each bag, Yang Xiujun started to work, looking up at the rice flowers from time to time while wrapping.

Daohua was looking at the gift list for the third uncle and uncle Tu of the clan. She noticed Yang Xiuyun's scrutiny and asked with a smile, "Cousin Xiuyun, do you have something to say to me?"

Yang Xiujun shook her head quickly, but her eyes glanced at Daohua's right hand.

Daohua smiled: "If you have something to say, don't be bored."

Yang Xiujun nodded: "It's really okay."

A few days ago, where Cousin Yiyi and Miss Dong went, my grandmother didn't even tell her mother. Although she wanted to ask Cousin Yiyi about the injury on her hand, she was worried that she would misunderstand and thought she believed the previous rumors. It's okay to ask nothing.

Seeing her like this, Daohua didn't ask much, and continued to look at the gift list, thinking about whether to add or subtract things.

The third uncle taught her to read and write when she was a child, and she always remembered this feeling in her heart. You must know that in her hometown, girls can't read, and she was very grateful that he could take the time to teach her.

"Mother, the third uncle is getting old, let's prepare more food for their family's gifts. The old man is used to saving, and he is usually reluctant to buy food."

Mrs. Li smiled and said, "It's up to you, the ceremony of the third uncle's family, my mother doesn't ask."

Daohua added: "There is also Uncle Tu's family. Uncle Tu gave me seven hunting dogs. This gift is not light. He hunts all the year round, and it is inevitable that he will bump into each other. "

Mrs. Li asked, "Have those seven puppies been fed?"

Daohua: "Of course, I let Bi Shi take care of her so carefully, she must support her."

Yang Xiujun laughed and interjected, "I've seen those seven puppies too, they're so cute."

Mrs. Li: "It's a hunting dog, it won't be cute when it grows up." As she said that, she looked at Daohua uneasy, "Are you sure you want to raise all seven? It's okay now that it's small, not aggressive, but it's grown up. , can you surrender? Why don't you send a few away?"

Daohua hurriedly shook his head: "No, I have to train them as police dogs. At that time, they can not only help our family watch the house, but also track and find people. How wonderful."

Mrs. Li was a little helpless: "Are you sure you can train hounds?"

Daohua was silent: "Yes, I'm already looking for relevant books to read, and I also asked Zhuang Tou to help me find a dog training expert."

Mrs. Li was too lazy to say it, her daughter can raise her if she likes it.

Yang Xiujun watched silently from the side, seeing that Mrs. Li loved Daohua so much, she felt envious in her heart.

Although my mother loves her very much, but unlike my aunt, she can't be the master of the house, and what she can do for herself is too limited.

At this moment, Yan Siyu walked in with a smile: "Is my sister-in-law busy?"

Mrs. Li stood up, smiled and sat down with Yan Siyu: "Several children in the clan are going back in the past two days, I think it will be a long time for the Chinese New Year, so I asked them to give the clan's New Year gift to the clan. Take it back, no, it's being prepared."

"There have been too many things in the past two days, and I was so busy that I became dizzy. Now even Xiuyun has been pulled over by me to help."

Yan Siyu hurriedly said, "This is the blessing of this girl. If you need anything from her, sister-in-law, let her do it." As she spoke, her eyes were a little red.

"I'm useless, and I can't teach her how to be the director of the family. If my sister-in-law can give this girl some pointers, she will be able to use her for a lifetime. I'm grateful."

Mrs. Li hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, Xiuyun is not my niece? Well, I took advantage of it. Now that the end of the year is approaching, the annual ceremonies are so busy that I can't tell the difference between east, west, north and south. This time, I have to pull Xiuyun to work for me, so that I can relax."

Daohua said with a smile, "That's great. With cousin Xiuyun here, I'll have time to play." After speaking, she stood up and blessed Yang Xiuyun, "This year, I will have cousin Lao."

Yang Xiujun stood up quickly: "Cousin, don't say that."

Mrs. Li smiled and glared at Daohua, pulled Yang Xiuyun over, and said to Yan Siyu, "My family can't compare to Xiuyun's cuteness, she's used to being lazy."

Yan Siyu smiled and said, "I see Yi Yi very well. I can help you at such a young age. Sister-in-law is really lucky."

When her daughter was praised, Mrs. Li had a strong smile in her eyes: "Our children are all good."

Yang Xiujun looked at her mother who came here on purpose, and felt a little moved and a little sad. In order to let her aunt give more advice on her housekeeping, her mother deliberately exposed her predicament in her husband's house in front of her mother-in-law's sister-in-law.

Mother's love for her daughter is no weaker than that of the aunt.
