Chapter 21 A good wife at home

 Time flies by in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, rice flowers have been in Linyi County for more than a month.

During this month, she had roughly figured out the situation in the backyard of the county government office, and also had some understanding of the situation of the Yan family.

The elders are quite tolerant of her. As for the juniors, apart from occasionally saying a few sour words, they have nothing else to do.

Overall, she is quite happy here.

One afternoon, three sisters, Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile, finished their classes for the day and walked to Mrs. Yan’s Songhe Courtyard. Before they entered the hospital, they heard the sound of laughing and playing.

Yan Yile curled her lips and said with envy: "Eldest sister went out to play with third brother and fourth brother again."

Yan Yihuan smiled lightly and said: "Sister, I just came to the county and am not familiar with it yet. It would be good to go out and see more."

Yan Yile retorted: "It's been more than a month. The county is so big and you should be familiar with it by now. I see, the eldest aunt is manipulating the eldest sister. She will do whatever she wants."<

/p>

Yan Yile first glanced at Yan Yishuang next to her, and then glared at Yan Yihuan: "Shut up, how can we juniors comment on the elders' affairs?"

Yan Yile was a little dissatisfied, but she didn't continue. Instead, she looked at Yan Yishuang with a smile: "Third sister, do you want to go out and play like a big sister?"

Yan Yishuang pursed her lips and said nothing.

Do you want to?

Of course I did.

However, her mother was very strict with her and rarely let her go out.

Yan Yile immediately came over and said, "Third sister, my uncle loves you so much. Go and talk to him and let us go out for a walk with eldest sister."

Yan Yishuang was a little moved, but still shook her head: "My aunt will not agree."

Yan Yile's face fell: "Aunt Lin is too strict with you."

Yan Yishuang did not allow others to say anything bad about Aunt Lin, and immediately said: "Aunt Lin is doing this for my own good."

My mother said that her father will like her more only if she is better than her eldest sister.

Yan Yihuan hurriedly stopped the two people who were about to quarrel again: "Okay, let's go in and pay our respects to grandma."

Please note that this rule was only established after Mrs. Yan arrived.

Once in the morning and once in the evening.

Mrs. Yan didn't object, and she felt happy when she saw her children and grandchildren at her knees.

Yan Yihuan and the other three entered Mrs. Yan's house and saw Daohua dressed in boy's clothes. He was holding something and explaining to Mrs. Yan with a smile on his face. Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai stood on both sides, interjecting words from time to time.

.

Seeing this, the three of them felt a little envious.

One is because Daohua can go out, and the other is because of Mrs. Yan’s preference for Daohua.

Although the old lady was kind to them, she couldn't compare to Daohua.

After greeting the old lady, Yan Yili looked at Daohua with a smile: "Sister, when will you go to class with us?"

Mrs. Li hired a female wife for several girls in the Yan family, who was responsible for teaching the girls to read, read, and embroider.

Hearing this, Daohua paused.

Mrs. Yan thought about it seriously and then said: "It's time to go to class."

Others in the room thought Daohua would be reluctant, but she didn't say anything.

Daohua glanced at Yan Yile, who was a little disappointed, and felt funny in her heart.

Emotions are in their hearts, but she is uneducated?

"Grandma, don't worry, I will take classes well."

She knows very well that if she wants to live well in this ancient world, she must adapt to the rules here.

In ancient times, there were a lot of requirements for women, so there is no harm in learning more skills.

The next morning, Daohua had breakfast in Mrs. Yan's courtyard. When she returned to the main courtyard, she was called by Mrs. Li.

"I heard from the old lady that you want to go to school?" Mrs. Li smiled and pulled Daohua next to her and sat down.

Daohua nodded: "My sisters are all in class, so as a sister, I can't be left behind."

Mrs. Li smiled softly: "Even if the old lady doesn't mention it, I will make arrangements for you. It would be good for this woman to read more books. Whether she is a housekeeper or a husband and a child, she will need it."

"By the way, female celebrities should also learn to learn. When you look at other people in the future, if the female celebrities are outstanding, they will have a good impression on them."

Hearing this, Daohua's head was filled with confusion: "Mom, my daughter is only 9 years old. Isn't it too early to say this?"

Mrs. Li nodded with Daohua's forehead: "How early is it? Some families decide on a family as soon as they are born."

Daohua trembled: "Fortunately, I didn't."

Mrs. Li smiled helplessly.

At this time, Ping Xiao, the maid next to Mrs. Li, came in with several account books: "Madam, this month's accounts have been prepared. Please take a look."

Mrs. Li looked at Daohua: "Mom is busy, you can go play somewhere else."

Daohua had no intention of leaving, but looked at the account books: "Mom, can I take a look?"

Mrs. Li smiled and said: "We Daohua want to learn to be stewards now?"

Daohua smiled: "Let's take a look first."

Mrs. Li didn't make a decision, she just said: "Don't break it."

Daohua: "Mom, I know." As she said that, she picked up an account book and started reading it.

Mrs. Li smiled and shook her head, and began to calculate the family's income and expenses this month.

A quarter of an hour later...

Two quarters of an hour later...

Half an hour later, Mrs. Li looked at the rice flowers in slight surprise.

She originally thought that her daughter was just a child and would not be able to sit still in front of the densely packed accounts. However, she did not expect that after her daughter finished reading one book, she immediately started reading another one, as if she wanted to finish reading the account books, and she could read them well.

Especially careful.

The old lady mentioned in her previous letters home that Daohua helped her with the accounting and accounting in her hometown, and she did a good job. She thought the old lady was exaggerating before, but looking at it now, she actually knows how to do it.

.

Ping Xiao, who was waiting on the side, was also secretly amazed.

During this period of time, I saw the eldest girl following the third master and the fourth master running around like crazy. I thought he was lively and restless, but I didn't expect that he had such a calm and quiet side.

Here, Daohua, who was immersed in the accounts, naturally didn't know what the two of them were thinking. The reason why she wanted to look through the account books was to understand the Yan family's income and expenses.

After coming here, she discovered that her family was not very well off.

At first, there were not many servants in the family, like her and the new third-room servant, but we still haven’t arranged any servants for them to run errands.

Secondly, the cost of food and clothing is not very good. The clothes on both Yan Zhigao and Mrs. Li are not old, and only the eldest brother Yan Wenxiu, who is studying in the county school, is slightly better dressed.

Judging from these factors, her father is quite honest.

After reading the account books, Daohua thought, no wonder her grandmother always said that the Yan family has a weak foundation.

This is really thin.

Only Yan Zhigao in the family has a salary, but he has to support a large family. The others have no income, but they have a lot of expenses.

"Mom, thank you for marrying you."

Daohua sighed.

If Mrs. Li's dowry hadn't been quite generous, and the dowry included Zhuangzi, and the shop could still make some income every day, otherwise, this family would really not be able to survive.

Mrs. Li glared at Daohua: "What are you talking about? It's my mother's blessing to marry your father."

Seeing the smile on Mrs. Li's face and eyes, Daohua covered her mouth and snickered. She could see that her mother really liked her father.

Daohua smiled and said, "Dad is also lucky. If it weren't for my mother who helps him take care of the house, he wouldn't be able to work outside at ease."

Mrs. Li smiled and did not say anything about Daohua this time: "Your father works hard as an official, so naturally I have to share more of the burden for him."

Daohua: "Mom, you are so kind."
