Chapter 3 No one can get past it
Yanjia Village.
Yan Family Courtyard.
Daohua sits in the main room, carefully recording this year's harvest.
Mrs. Yan sat aside and looked at her with a loving face. Seeing her granddaughter recording the harvest clearly one by one, her face couldn't help but become more and more satisfied and proud.
She knew that people in the village privately said that she was partial and spared her grandson, but hurt a little girl to the core of her bones.
But those people didn't even look at it, because her rice flowers were so abundant that they were very curious.
Not only does she look good, but she is also a very prosperous person.
As soon as she was born, her eldest son, who had failed the exam twice, passed the exam. The next year, he was named on the gold medal list, won the top three and was awarded the same Jinshi, and was appointed as the seventh-grade county magistrate.
After that, his family, which could only be considered a middle-class family in Yanjia Village, began to get better and better every year, and gradually became prosperous.
In addition to these, that girl is so warm-hearted that it makes people's hearts melt.
The child's father died early, and she became a widow at a young age. In order to support her four older children, she had to work day and night. Over the years, she was severely short-changed.
The year when her eldest son was appointed as the county magistrate, she felt that she could explain to her child's father, and the pressure she had been holding in her heart suddenly relaxed, and then her body failed.
Since then, she has been unable to do heavy work, and is usually out of breath and constantly taking medicine.
When the eldest son took office, Daohua was left in his hometown. Firstly, the granddaughter was still young and could not travel long distances. Secondly, Daohua was white, tender and well-behaved. When the eldest son saw that he liked it, he deliberately left Daohua to relieve her boredom.
Amused.
When this girl was five years old, she heard the news from somewhere that a monk from a mountain temple more than ten miles away could cure her illness, so she secretly followed the people who visited the temple in the village and went directly to her door to ask for medicine.
When the sun in the dog days of summer hits an adult's body, he or she will feel pain, let alone such a small person.
When she saw the rice flowers, ran for dozens of miles, and stumbled back holding the medicine she had asked for, her heart had never been so soft.
It's strange to say that since then, her health has really improved day by day. Now when she goes out, who wouldn't tell her that she is in good health and in good spirits? Even ordinary young women may not be able to outrun her.
This girl is her lucky star.
"Grandma, are the harvests from our more than 200 acres of land going to Linyi County?" After Daohua calculated this year's harvest, she raised her head and looked at Mrs. Yan.
Linyi County is the county where her father took office.
Mrs. Yan nodded: "Many northern prefectures suffered from drought last year. Linyi County is in the north. Although there was no severe drought, the harvest was not very good. We sent the grain there, part of it was kept for home use, and part of it was kept for home use.
You can exchange some money."
Daohua sighed and pretended to be mature: "It seems that my father's life is not very easy."
Natural disasters, even in modern times, are not easy to prevent.
Mrs. Yan: "You know how difficult it is for your father. When you get to Linyi County, you have to get close to your father."
Her granddaughter has never been with her parents since she was born, and rarely mentions it. She is worried about this, for fear that her granddaughter will become estranged from her parents.
She is getting old, and her granddaughter will still have to rely on her parents in the future. After arriving in Linyi County, she will have to put more effort into bringing her son and granddaughter closer.
Daohua curled her lips: "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?" Although they are both granddaughters, I'm sorry, she is partial, regardless of the letter from the eldest son about the twins born to the concubine.
However, in her eyes, no one can cross Daohua.
Daohua stood up immediately, raised her head, and said angrily: "Am I unable to compete with her? I just don't bother to compete." Comparing with a little baby is too low!
Although her current body is still that of a little baby, inside she is an adult who is almost three years old.
Old Mrs. Yan looked at her granddaughter who was pretending to be majestic in a funny way, and comforted her: "Keep it in your heart, you are the eldest granddaughter of the Yan family, no one can get past you."
Daohua threw herself into the arms of Mrs. Yan, with a smile in her eyes and brows: "Can't I even get past my eldest brother?"
"You clever girl!" Old Mrs. Yan stretched out her hand and tapped Daohua's forehead: "That's your biological eldest brother, you still want to be jealous of him?"
"Anyway, grandma's favorite thing is Daohua." Daohua buried her head in the old lady's arms and said with a mischievous smile.
For this old lady, who was the first one she saw when she opened her eyes, and who later raised her up with her hands, she was already extremely skilled at acting like a spoiled child and making her laugh.
"Yes, my favorite is this crazy girl like you." Mrs. Yan doted on her, but shook her head helplessly.
"Mother!"
At this moment, Yan Zhiqiang and his wife walked in.
Daohua came out of the old lady's arms, said hello to her uncle and aunt, and then sat aside obediently.
The Yan family has a county magistrate, and the rules at home are more strict than those in the village.
Although the younger generation does not need to avoid the elders when they speak, they cannot interrupt at will.
Yan Zhiqiang: "Mom, we have packed the food."
Mrs. Yan nodded. San'er was always careful and considerate in her work, so she didn't need to worry about anything: "Well, you can hit the road tomorrow."
Yan Zhiqiang hesitated: "Mom, how about I stay and go with you?"
Mrs. Yan glared at San'er: "If you stay, who will look after so much food?"
"Then I'll stay." Wu quickly answered.
When food travels by water, it has to be one step ahead, but she and the head of the family have left, leaving her mother and Daohua behind. Wen Tao sets off alone. If something happens on the road, how can they explain it to their eldest brother?
Mrs. Yan waved her hand: "Wen Hui is still young and needs your care. I will go with Daohua and Wen Tao, and I will be accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Sun. We will all go on official roads along the way. Nothing will happen."
."
Yan Zhiqiang saw that his mother had made up her mind and could not say more.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
The old lady raised the four brothers and sisters by herself, and also supported a county magistrate. She has always been consistent, and it is difficult to change her mind about the things she has decided.
The next day, Yan Zhiqiang and his wife took their 6-year-old son Yan Wenhui on their way to Linyi County.
The Yan family went to see many people off.
"Zhiqiang, please come back more often to see us old guys."
"Third Grandpa, don't worry, we will come back every year. You forgot that we still have to worship our ancestors."
"Zhiqiang, if you become developed in the future, don't forget the villagers."
"Can't forget, can't forget."
"..."
Amid everyone's reluctance, the cart and horse pulling Yan Zhiqiang and his wife and the 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 her things with envy.
"Daohua, after you go to Linyi County, you will become the county magistrate's daughter."
Daohua was amused by the little girl's words. She turned around and said with a smile: "If I don't go to Linyi County, I will be the county magistrate's daughter."
The little girl Yan Yunxi choked and pouted.
As the granddaughter of the patriarch, all the children in Yanjia Village will fawn over her, but there is one person she cannot get past.
This person is Yan Daohua in front of me.
Looking at Daohua's white and rosy, pink and delicate cheeks, the sour water in Yan Yunxi's heart gurgled out.
I wonder how this guy grows? She usually likes to run wild in the fields when she has nothing to do, but her skin never gets tanned, which makes people jealous.
You know, she and other little girls in the village will get tanned as soon as they go out.
The looks are incomparable;
In her family background, her grandfather is the head of the Yan clan, but her father is the county magistrate.
She was really outclassed from head to toe.
Every time she stood with Daohua, she felt ashamed of herself. This feeling made her very uncomfortable, so she didn't like playing with Daohua at all, and she didn't let other children in the village play with her.<
/p>
If her grandfather hadn't forced her to come and say goodbye to Daohua this time, she wouldn't have been willing to step into the Yan family compound.
Thinking of what his grandfather had said to his father in private, Yan Yunxi couldn't help but be jealous and said: "Daohua, I think you, the daughter of the county magistrate, won't be able to be the county magistrate for long. My grandfather said that your father has been re-elected as the county magistrate for three terms, and so has the county magistrate.
If you fail to 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 little thoughts sometimes make even adults like them have to be humbled.
"If you don't worry about my family's affairs, my father will definitely have a prosperous career in the future. Do you have anything else? I still have a lot of things to pack, so I won't give them to you."
