After Daozi’s birthday, the weather in Liangdu became hotter day by day.

"Mother!"

Ever since Xiao Yeyang accompanied Daozi to play wooden ball, Daozi became obsessed with it. Every day, the maid would play with him in the yard for a while before he would give up.

Daohua caught her son who rushed over and wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief: "The sun is beating hard at noon, so you are not allowed to run outside."

Daozi twisted around, seeming a little reluctant.

Daohua smiled and pinched her son's nose: "Mom will play with you this afternoon."

After hearing this, Daozi immediately became happy: "Okay."

The little guy has a very good memory. After lunch and a nap, as soon as he woke up, he shouted for Daohua to accompany him in making the little man.

The so-called kneading figure is when Daohua asked the mother-in-law in the kitchen to make some colored clay with flour, and taught Daohua to knead it into various shapes to cultivate her son's hands-on ability.

Dao Zi took her mother to the toy room where she specialized in playing. Then she took care of herself and found the mold for playing with clay from the small desk in the corner. She took the mold and sat down in front of her own small table.

Daohua will consciously let her son organize the things in the toy room by himself. After several times of teaching, although the toys in the toy room are scattered all over the place, his son can quickly find the toys he wants every time.

Daohua smiled and sat on the small stool, took the colored clay from Gu Yu, put it on the small table, and asked her son with a smile: "What are we making today?"

"Pinch the puppy." Daazi immediately took a ball of black clay, then found the puppy model from the mold and started tinkering with it.

The last time his mother taught him to pinch a puppy, he still remembered it.

Daohua looked on with a smile and corrected her from time to time.

At this moment, Lixia walked in: "Princess, my second uncle is here."

Daohua was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "Second uncle has come to Xiliang?"

Since the Li family's business was on track in Xiliangbu, the second uncle rarely came over, leaving only the third cousin to take care of it.

Seeing that her son was having a great time playing, but now interrupted, the little boy was determined not to comply, so Daohua let Fang Niang and the maid watch, and went to the hall to see Li Xingnian.

Daohua was very happy to see Li Xingnian. After arriving in Xiliang, she had less contact with her relatives at home. Although letters from home and festivals continued every year, it was still more joyful to see her relatives in person.

"Second uncle!"

Daohua stepped forward and saluted: "How are you doing, my second uncle?"

Li Xingnian smiled and said: "Okay, how are you?"

Daohua asked again: "At home, my uncle, aunt, second aunt, and cousins, how are they all?"

Li Xingnian said with a smile: "Everything is fine. I wonder if you still remember them. By the way, what about you? How are you and Yeyang doing in Liangdu?"

Daohua smiled and said: "I'm okay, but Yeyang is quite busy, so you may have to wait until he leaves the office before we can see him."

Li Xingnian said quickly: "Ye Yang will be in charge of the entire Xiliang. He must be very busy, so there is no need to worry about me."

Daohua smiled and chatted with Li Xingnian for a while, and then asked: "Second uncle, third cousin manages the business very well, why are you here?"

Li Xingnian: "At the beginning of this year, I made another trip to the South China Sea and met with Wen Kai in Guangdong Province. A few years ago, didn't you ask me to give him a message to plant double-cropping rice in Guangdong Province?"

Daohua's eyes lit up: "Double-cropping rice was successful?"

Li Xingnian smiled and nodded: "Isn't it a success? Now double-cropping rice has been promoted in Guangdong and surrounding state capitals. Wen Kai has made great contributions to this and is now a third-grade general."

Daohua's face showed surprise: "What a fourth brother, even if he gets promoted, he doesn't even bother to write a letter to inform him, so that I can congratulate him."

Li Xingnian: "The promotion was not announced until spring. He met me and asked me to bring you some specialties from the south and let you know by the way."

Daohua smiled: "How are your fourth sister-in-law and my little nephew doing?"

Li Xingnian smiled and nodded: "Your fourth sister-in-law is very good. Wen Kai often goes out to train soldiers and fight against Japanese pirates. She takes good care of the children and the family affairs."

While he was talking, Li Xingnian asked someone to bring a basket of things in: "This is what your fourth brother seized from the Japanese pirates. I heard that the indigenous people on some islands eat this. The yield is good. I know you like it, so I specially asked me to bring it to you."

."

Seeing the sweet potatoes in the basket, Daohua stood up excitedly.

Sweet potatoes are one of the crops with the highest yield, and even people in areas with poor soil quality can eat enough if they grow them without picking up the land.

Seeing Daohua so excited, Li Xingnian asked with a smile: "Why, do you know this sweet potato?"

Daohua nodded: "I saw it in the story book."

Another storybook?!

Li Xingnian sighed: "In the past, I thought that the books were all unfair, but now it seems there is no harm in reading more."

Dao Hua's expression froze, fearing that Li Xingnian would let the children at home read the story books when he returned, so she quickly made up for it: "Second uncle, I don't just read story books casually. I only read biographies of people, local customs, and so on.

I almost don’t watch the kind that looks like a talented scholar or a beautiful lady.”

Li Xingnian nodded in agreement: "Talents and beauties will change their temperaments if they read too much." He said, smiling, "On the way here, I saw roads being built in many places."

Daohua smiled and said: "Xiao Yeyang said that if we want to attract more businessmen to develop here, we can't do it without repairing the road."

Li Xingnian said 'hmm': "Indeed, I still remember the first time I came to Xiliang. The roads were so bumpy that my bones were about to fall apart. I can be considered to be able to endure hardships. That's it, I also

I don’t want to do it a second time.”

"Mother~"

As soon as Li Xingnian finished speaking, the sound of running was heard outside the house. Immediately afterwards, Fang Niang and two maids ran in chasing the rice.

"Mom, my puppy!"

Daozi excitedly showed Daohua the black puppy in his hand.

Daohua looked at the puppy her son had pinched, and praised: "The rice looks really good." Then she immediately led rice to Li Xingnian.

"This is my second uncle, you haven't called anyone yet."

Daozi looked at Li Xingnian and immediately shouted angrily: "Hello, second uncle."

Li Xingnian suddenly became happy and touched Daozi's head: "This guy has a really high voice. It's true that a tiger father has no dog son."

With that said, he took out the jadeite Pixiu that he had prepared earlier from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Daazi.

When Dao Zi saw it, he was not polite at all and took Pi Xiu with a smile.

Daohua said: "Second uncle, the rice is still small, so it is too precious."

Li Xingnian: "This is my uncle's wish. Rice is so painful, but I think the gift is too light." As he said that, he touched the top of Rice's head.

"Next time my uncle comes over, please bring other gifts to Daozi, okay?"

Daozi nodded with a smile: "Okay."

Li Xingnian suddenly laughed: "Boys should be like this, generous and generous."

Daohua didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Daozi, you accepted a gift from your uncle, what should you say?"

Daozi immediately said loudly to Li Xingnian: "Thank you, uncle."
