Chapter 17 Beating
Songheyuan.
Under the service of Mrs. Li, Old Mrs. Yan has finished washing and is now leaning on the couch leisurely, looking at the descendants in the room with joy.
It stands to reason that after traveling for such a long time, even a man in his prime would be very tired now, but the old lady did not show much fatigue on her face and she seemed to be in good spirits.
In the house, Yan Zhigao was held by the old lady's hand and sat on a nearby couch.
The others were sitting on both sides.
People in the room were laughing and chatting around the old lady.
Yan Zhigao looked at his mother's rosy face and radiant eyes, and was very surprised.
When the old lady was young, she worked so hard to support the four brothers and sisters that she even emptied her body. A few years ago when he returned to his hometown, the old lady's body was still out of breath, but now, she feels that her body is better than his.
.
Not only was he surprised, but Mrs. Li and Mrs. Sun were also surprised.
When they married into the Yan family, the old lady's health was already a little bad. Although the old lady would mention that her health was much better when exchanging letters over the years, they didn't really believe it. They just felt that the old lady was so
It is to ease their hearts.
But now I can see that my body is indeed in great condition.
Mrs. Sun smiled and complimented: "Mom, my daughter-in-law has noticed that you are getting younger and younger as you live."
Old Mrs. Yan laughed, and then looked at Mrs. Li kindly: "My broken body can be cured thanks to you giving birth to a good daughter for our Yan family. If Daohua hadn't begged me for the precious medicine, plus all these
Even if you make fun of me for years, I can’t get better so quickly.”
The old lady mentioned in her letter home that Daohua went to the temple to seek medicine, and the Yan family knew about it.
Regarding this, everyone just thought that the old lady was praising Daohua for her filial piety and didn't take it seriously.
Now that the old lady mentioned it again, I have more thoughts in my mind.
Mrs. Yan praised Daohua in front of everyone in the Yan family. Mrs. Li was very happy, but she still said modestly: "Mom, you are exaggerating. Daohua is such a little person. What does she know?"
It’s because of your deep blessings that your health will heal so quickly.”
Yan Zhigao also said at the right time: "Yes, what can a little baby do for her? I think it is the third brother and the third sister who take good care of my mother."
When Mrs. Wu heard Yan Zhigao mentioning their room, she immediately said: "Brother, we don't dare to take credit. In my hometown, as long as there are rice flowers, my mother will never be unhappy. The third uncle in the clan said that the mood
Once you feel relaxed, your body's illnesses will naturally be cured."
Yan Zhigao looked a little surprised and looked at Mrs. Yan: "When I took office, I didn't promise my third uncle to bring his son out. Wasn't he estranged from us?"
Mrs. Yan said with a smile: "Your daughter has to learn to read and wander around the village. Finally she fell in love with the white-haired third uncle. He said he has great wisdom. If he enlightens her, she will benefit from it for the rest of her life."
"Gao'er, you don't know that the rice flowers were only so tall at that time." Old Mrs. Yan gestured with her hands, "A 5 or 6-year-old kid criticizing your third uncle in such an old-fashioned way makes me laugh.
Dead."
As soon as these words came out, Wu and Yan Wentao, who knew about it, also laughed.
The other people in the room leaned back a little when they saw the old lady smiling, and they became more and more curious about Daohua, who they had not officially met yet.
Old Mrs. Yan smiled for a while, then looked at Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li, with a doting look on her face: "That girl is very charming, you will know in the future."
Below, Yan Wenxiu and other grandchildren saw that Mrs. Yan loved rice flowers so much. While they were a little more curious about her, they also felt a little sour in their hearts.
They just had a good time trying to please and behave well, but except for the eldest grandson Yan Wenxiu who received praise from the old lady, the others only said a few words.
Yan Yishuang watched her father smile more and more under Mrs. Yan's explanation. She seemed to like the eldest sister more and more, and she felt extremely jealous in her heart.
She is her father’s most beloved daughter!
Yan Yile on the side saw Yan Yishuang's face getting more and more wrinkled, rolled her eyes, and whispered: "Third sister, uncle has a big sister, will he still like you in the future?"
Yan Yi raised her eyebrows: "Of course, my father likes me the most."
The sound was a bit loud, causing other people to look over.
Yan Zhigao saw that the smile on Mrs. Yan's face had faded a little, and he glared at Yan Yishuang and said displeased: "Yishuang, how can you make a loud noise in front of your elders?"
Seeing everyone looking at her, Yan Yishuang was a little timid, but when she thought about the beggar-like eldest sister who had attracted the attention of the whole family, she blurted out without thinking: "Grandma and the third brother have been washing for a long time.
Why hasn't the eldest sister come yet? Isn't it too unruly to ask her grandmother, father, and mother to wait for her?"
"Bang!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Yan slapped her hand on the slumped table, her face that had been smiling just now was full of anger.
"Mother!"
No one expected that the old lady would be so angry, and they all stood up in fright.
Yan Zhigao hurriedly stepped forward to support the old lady: "Mom, don't be angry. Yishuang is still young. Children talk but don't mean what they say. Don't argue with her."
At this time, Aunt Lin quickly walked out from below and knelt on the ground: "Old lady, Yi Shuang just wants to see the big girl so much. She has no other intentions. Please forgive me."
It was okay that she didn't come out. As soon as she came out, Mrs. Yan immediately thought of what happened in front of the county government gate, and her face became more and more gloomy.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Mrs. Yan ignored Aunt Lin, but looked at Yan Zhigao angrily: "I haven't taken care of you since you became the county magistrate. I thought you would restrain yourself and become a person who takes care of the people.
A good official, but today, I was greatly disappointed!"
"The bullying government servant, the arrogant and rude concubine, Yan Zhigao, you are so kind!"
"Mother!"
Yan Zhigao was so anxious that he immediately knelt down, and at the same time, Mrs. Li also knelt down.
Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Wu were a little at a loss. The elder brother and sister-in-law were all kneeling. Do they want to kneel too?
The adults were all panicked, and the children were even more confused about what to do. They all hunched their necks and squeezed into the corner.
Yan Zhigao's face was full of worry: "Mom, it's all my son's fault. You can hit or scold me if you want, but don't make yourself angry."
Mrs. Li also hurriedly admitted her mistake: "Mom, it's all my daughter-in-law's fault. She didn't manage the house well."
Mrs. Yan glanced at Yan Zhigao, bent down and helped Mrs. Li up: "What's wrong with you? I know what you are like. Some people think that they have become an official, and they don't know why."
Yan Zhigao knew that his mother was talking about him, and he smiled bitterly in his heart, but he did not dare to refute at all.
Mrs. Li didn't know how to answer the question, so she could only help the old lady sit down.
After a while, the anger on the old lady's face disappeared a lot, and she snorted coldly at Yan Zhi.
Yan Zhigao knew that his mother's anger had subsided, so he stood up with a smile.
Mrs. Li thought for a moment and said, "Mom, it's been some time over at Daohua. I'll send someone over to see why she hasn't come yet?"
"Don't go!"
Mrs. Yan stopped her sternly and looked at Yan Zhigao coldly.
"This period of time has been very hard for me. If it weren't for her, the old woman would have starved to death on the road. Now that she is finally home, why don't she be allowed to have a good rest?"
Yan Zhigao immediately said: "Daohua is still young. After walking such a long way, let her rest first."
Mrs. Yan's face looked better now, and she looked at Mrs. Li: "You are not allowed to disturb her, that girl must be exhausted. Meeting family members or something, everyone is here anyway, it doesn't matter when you meet her, it's not bad
This is only for a while."
Mrs. Li could only nod in agreement.
Because of this commotion, the atmosphere in the room was slightly tense. Yan Zhigao had to be careful when speaking, and the juniors did not dare to talk too much.
At this time, the maid's announcement came from outside the door.
"Master, madam, the eldest girl is here!"
As soon as the voice fell, the door curtain was lifted.
Immediately, everyone saw a girl in green walking in with a light on her back and a smile.
The door curtain fell, and everyone's eyes lit up when they saw the girl's appearance clearly.
