Chapter 188: The chubby face was pinched
In July, the watermelons and grapes in the farm began to ripen.
With last year's harvest in hand, this year, Mrs. Li instructed Yan Zhiqiang to plant watermelons on more than half of the Yan family's farm and fields.
Watermelons are still relatively scarce nowadays, and thanks to her two brothers' sales channels, she can sell them at a good price. She must take this opportunity to save some money for her family.
It's not even August yet, and both the Yan and Li families have made a fortune.
Taking advantage of the money in her hands, Mrs. Li bought a few more farms and some fields for her family. Daohua followed suit and bought a farm for herself.
By now, Daohua owns five farms and three shops, and is definitely a rich woman.
Rice Flower Pavilion.
Daohua was sitting in the study, looking through the account books that had been handed in. Seeing that the records were very detailed, she called Wang Maner over and said, "Brother Xiaoliu has been running around a lot lately, and the weather is so hot. He must have worked hard. Bring ten taels of silver to him later."
Wang Maner smiled and nodded: "Brother Xiaoliu, meeting this girl is truly a blessing from your past life. Not only did he learn a skill, but he also made money."
Daohua smiled and said, "It's because he's smart, diligent and capable. If he were a blockhead, I wouldn't dare to use him."
Afterwards, Wang Maner went to find Qin Xiaoliu with the silver in her hand and a smile on her face.
In the room, Guyu and Lixia looked on with envy.
They had been in the eldest girl's courtyard for several months. They had originally thought that the eldest girl, who even dared to contradict the master, must be a difficult person to serve. However, after arriving, they discovered that among the four girls in the family, the eldest girl was the easiest to serve.
As long as they follow the rules, don't break the rules, and complete the tasks they are told to do meticulously, the older girls will rarely give them the cold shoulder or scold them for no reason.
Sometimes, you can even joke and have fun.
They have been living a relaxed and comfortable life in Daohuaxuan for so long.
The sisters who came in with them in the same shopping group and were assigned to the other three girls were not so lucky.
The second young lady was alright, she was gentle and quiet, not easily scolding anyone, but she was too quiet, and the maidservants who followed her often didn't even dare to speak loudly.
The third young lady is the most favored by the master. She is a little spoiled and tends to lose her temper when something goes wrong. The maidservants who serve her have to be careful in serving her every day.
The fourth girl is the most lively and playful, and has no sense of propriety. She either bumps into things or breaks them, and the maids around her are always on edge.
In comparison, they are really so happy.
In addition, the eldest girl is very generous, which is something the other three girls can never compare to. Look, Qin Xiaoliu completed the task well and received a reward of ten taels of silver, which is almost as much as their monthly salary for two years.
Not long after, Wang Maner came back with a smile: "Miss, when I passed by the main courtyard just now, I happened to run into Sister Pingtong. She said that the master had sent a letter, saying that he would be home at the end of the month."
Daohua's face lit up with joy: "Really?"
After school started this year, the three Yan brothers came back once at the end of February and have never returned home since then. Everyone in the family is missing them.
"I thought I would have to wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival to see my three brothers."
Wang Maner smiled and said, "The first of August is the young lady's birthday. The three gentlemen are back just in time to celebrate it for her."
Daohua smiled with her eyebrows curved, "Why celebrate a birthday? Let's just have a bowl of longevity noodles together." Then, she sighed, "I'm almost eleven."
On July 29th, the three brothers Yan Wenxiu returned to the Yan Mansion. With them were Xiao Yeyang, Dong Yuanxuan, Su Hongxin and others.
Daohua was not surprised by this, but she still asked politely, "Why are you here too?"
Xiao Yeyang fanned himself, raised his chin, and asked, "Why, are you not welcoming me?"
Daohua cast a coquettish glance at them, leaned sideways, bowed, and said with a smile, "It's a great honor for our family that you can come. How could we not welcome you?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and fanned himself as he looked up and down at the rice flowers. He hadn't seen them for a few months and they seemed to have grown taller. Well, their cheeks seemed to be a little fuller.
Is this because you eat too well and gain weight?
Looking at Daohua's fair, rosy and plump face, which looked like a bun he usually eats, Xiao Yeyang suddenly felt his hands itching.
I really want to pinch it!
"What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?" Daohua saw Xiao Yeyang staring at her face and immediately touched her cheek.
Xiao Yeyang quickly turned his gaze away from Daohua's face and fanned himself quickly a few times: "You should eat less in the future. Look at how fat you are now."
Hearing this, Daohua's eyes widened, and she touched her face with both hands at the same time. She quickly asked Yan Wenkai and the others, "Have I gained weight? Could it be that I ate too much watermelon and grapes this month?"
Yan Wenkai came over and took a closer look at Daohua: "I think she's okay, and she's even cuter when she's a little fatter." As he spoke, he quickly stretched out his two paws and pinched Daohua's cheeks at the same time.
"Oh, it's so soft. Big sister, please eat more. It will be more comfortable when you pinch it!" After saying that, she pinched it again with both hands.
Rice flower: “.”
Xiao Yeyang: “.”
Both of them stared at Yan Wenkai with their eyes wide open.
Immediately following.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Each of them clapped their hands at the same time.
"Ouch!"
"What are you doing? Why are you hitting me?" Yan Wenkai rubbed the back of his hands with a grin. The slap from the elder sister was okay, not too heavy, but the slap from the little prince was really painful.
Daohua glared at him, rubbing his cheeks, and said angrily, "You deserve it. The beating was too light."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Yan Wenkai and thought viciously in his heart that he couldn't do anything, but this guy did what he wanted to do but was difficult to do.
One slap wasn't enough!
"Oh, girl, stop rubbing it, your face is turning red." Wang Maner said hurriedly.
Daohua covered her face and said, "Yeah, it's red now, right? I was wondering why it hurt so much." After saying that, she looked at Yan Wenkai with an accusing look on her face, "Fourth brother, you're so annoying."
Seeing that Daohua had indeed had two more marks on her cheeks, Yan Wenkai shrank his neck and muttered, "How could I have known you were so vulnerable?"
"Bang!"
Xiao Yeyang finally found an opportunity. He waved his fan and quickly hit him on the shoulder: "Do you think girls are as tough as you?"
Yan Wenxiu also looked over with dissatisfaction: "You are a martial artist, so your strength is naturally greater than others. Big sister's face is delicate, and you don't know the severity of it."
Seeing that everyone was looking at Yan Wenkai with accusatory expressions, Daohua felt better.
At this time, Madam Li came over with her maid, smiling. She wanted to greet Xiao Yeyang and the others first, but when she saw her daughter's red cheeks, she immediately walked over anxiously: "What's wrong? Why is your face so red?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenkai immediately hid behind everyone.
Daohua glanced at her quail-like fourth brother and said with a pout, "Fourth brother made this."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li was furious. If she hadn't taken into consideration the presence of outsiders, she would have rolled up her sleeves and beaten the person.
